[If your wondering this is the studio project my group in photography did 2 years ago. I have hundreds more, most of which are of me getting my butt kicked by two other girls lol Plus this is right after I cut my long hair. Plus for Fun, can you point out the differences between me and my current avatar, besides clothing! lol]


Name: Jair(Pet name for jeremiah), Ranma(or Ron, my dad calls me lol)

Age: 18 (Birthdate: August 8, 1987)

Height: 5'6

Weight 145 lb

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Brown(Blonde in sun too long lol)

Fav. Color: Black and Red

Role in Group of Friends: I used to be just a loner or a silent aid in groups. Recently however I've been speaking up more and i've gotten healthier and stronger. I've become more of a leader now in groups and that usually leads us into trouble

Fashion Style: I have three! I'm mostly in sunday dress(Because of job), When I'm training or screwing around with friends I'm wearing my Gi or orental Attire(Yes I actually wear chinese clothing, I'll show you later in pictures), and finally normal clothing: jeans, w/b undershirt, and cover shirt.

Bio: Believe it or not but I hated anime for most of my childhood. Mainlt because my Older sister had nothing better to do but watch it.
I was always into martial arts and kung fu, but I never once like anime!
Now that I look back at it all, I wonder why I hated it? Mainly because it looked stupid and the first series I watched was Evangelion and Everybody died on it and it made me mad. I didn't watch anime again for some time after that. Plus everybody in my class had a manga or was talking about some new anime they watched. I wan't very popular with many people and I didn't want to be like any of them, so that was probably the main reason.
I took kung fu for about 5 years and quit(mainly because moving around)
I started again in Karate but they were all jerks and told me everything I learned before was wrong(I quit after a few weeks)
Now I do solo training and learn from friends at martial arts groups in colleges in my area.
But how did I become to start loving anime? lol
You guessed it, my older sister Angel!
Well, she basicly started the cycle again. Daniel kept my interest permantly in my system.
My sister introduced me to mature anime(Almost hentai) because she thought I was old enough to handle it. Well being a young man and all, anything with nudity kept my focus and attention lol. I can't remember which series it was, probably Love Hina. Well to continue, right before I quit my classes Daniel and I were screwing around out back. There was a chain link fence outside. Yep lets see who can walk it lol. Daniel kept screwing up, I did too plus I got my pants caught in it lol. but I finally walk it back and forth. After he pushed me off the fence for rubbing his nose in his failure. he called me a name I'd never forget, Ranma. Mainly to call me gay(Which I'm not)
I had really long hair at the time(about 2.5-3 ft long) and most people thought I was a girl when they didn't see my face. Plus daniel kept calling me Ranma, whiched [censored]ed me off at the time. I knew Ranma was some kinda japanese name and probably one of his anime things. He later showed me a Ranma 1/2 manga, which I borrowed. I will never make fun of anime and manga again.
I will never forget daniel(Because his number is in my adress book). Thanks man, for showing me the world of anime.

I guess I'll start then Darn it I have a bad case of the hiccups, and it's hurting my chest

What an intresting life Ranma-kun.

I wish my kitty's were still around!
They were kawaii! But nooo! I have to have stupid allergies!! Arg!
*sigh* I had three cats when I was little. Fred, Willy, and Smokey.
Fred: Fat and lazy. White with black spots.
Willy: He was my favorite. He was tabby. Playful and active.
Smokey: Smokey was really shy. He'd always run away from people. Named him Smokey cause he was completely grey.
There no longer around though...

Sorry 'bout that. I'm done now.

-glomps Ranma- ^o^ Teehee. Ranma-kun'tis a martial artist. <3 Yay. x3

Well.. technically.. I COULD be a martial artist... if only I didn't stop at green belt ;; I loved my teacher's name, "Master Ma" Ah, he was hilarious. And I loved how he would discipline boys harshly and when he got to me (and my friend who took it with me), he'd just have this funny laugh and say, "girls are better than boys" and leave.

And you're not alone Ranma I hated Evangelion too! I really didn't know it would get so serious toward the end!!! I was petrified, but I immediately went to the less serious and funny anime to relieve me.

Oh! And Hitodama! I didn't know you liked cats! I like cats too ! Her name's Soupy. I don't know where that name originated from so don't ask ^^;; I was merely a five year old kid...with nothing else in her brain?

I know it's kinda off-topic, but if you guys don't start posting on the RP thread again, I will have to sell your internal organs on the blackmarket. Or ebay; whichever is easier.

Every cat I had so far has lived to be 14, then they die. First one died of old age, second heart attack, third one by a car.
lol All my pets die! I tried to keep fish as pets, but they just die even quicker! *Flush*


Sorry for being gone so long, I've been having a bad week so far:
I lost my left contact, now I have to wear my glasses and its very annoying.
I put my car into drive instead of reverse and almost slammed into my Dads car lol.
My boss came yesterday and told my My job ends on July 31.
My Computers fan went out and then it over heated.
I hit a squirrel today.
I found a scorpion in the kitchen it ran into one of the cubbards, couldn't find it.

What a week so far!


-Body slams Rai-chan into ground for glomping me- lol

Geez Ranma. You keep getting bad luck. I hope things get better. And atleast I have on consilation.

The key being that you 'Almost' hit your dad's car.

It's not nice to hit a girl, Ranma-kun. -dead- Especially on her birthday.

And I'm sorry your week has been bad. Mine's been stressful but I've been extremely, so I'll try and give you some of my luck. =D
...But only if I can glomp! x3 -does-

Happy Birthday Rai-chan! Sorry I'm a day late, I couldn't get to a computer yesterday. Here you go though. It ain't the best but it's all i could quickly find.

Yes, yes. Happy Birthday Rai.

Aww happy birthday!! everyone's birthdays are coming around like boom boom booM!

Question to all:
When does school get out for you guys?
What does everyone plan to do for the summer?



Asking questions is the best way to learn....or get yourself killed lol

I"m not sure when my school's out.. I think maybe around June 20 ish ?

And for the summer.. i"ll be taking a summer course for three weeks at Berkley and and mm i might go to Korea for a visit.

Whats your nationallity Hana?

My family from my fathers side is british
My mothers side is German
So I'm at least 25% German and 50% English and 25% other(Because I don't know what my mothers father was)

Question to all:

Asking questions is the best way to learn....or get yourself killed   lol

Summer vacation? What is this summer vacation you talk about?

Yep, for some of us, there is no summer vacation. But I'm taking off three days next week while my parents and sister are at the beach to watch the house. So my summer will be spent working. Hehe.

And nifty Ranma. I don't know much about the different lineages in my family, cept my mom's scottish (judging by last name), and my dad's english. but I know (cause my aunt was super cool and did geneology back on that side of the family up until William the Conqueror 0_0 )) so I know I have french, and some scandinavian if you go way way way way back, up one line.

Let's see... I'm a wonderful mix of imperialistic tendencies, tempered with a desire for pasta, wine, whiskey, and beer (not necessarily in that order). mmmmm, beer..... I'm English (have traced my roots back to the Mayflower!), Irish, German, Russian, and Italian.

Aw you guys are so lucky. I'm just.. Korean.

I'm basicly required to do geneology lol.
If you go to a Geneologist, chances are their Mormon. lol
So I know most of my Fathers side, its my birth mothers side I'm looking through rigt now.
I'm finding some great stuff.
Like at the beginning of this year I found out My grandmother was 100% German(She found out too lol) Her Parents were German, but pretended to be scottish or something during WWII and they never told their daughter. Till about 2 months ago, my grandmothers older sister told her about their parents on her death bed(Weird)!! After some digging we found that it was true!
So you know what that mean?????
Taking over the world is in my Blood!!!!!!

Ah, but I seem to recall that Rome's borders once stretched from Britain to Persia. And that it was once said that the sun never set on the British Empire.

Let's see...Germany had it's naval tail walloped by the Grand Fleet at Jutland, even if the Imperial High Seas fleet did sink more RN tonnage; hiding in shame until the Armistice.
Germany allowed an Austrian corporal to assume power, and lead the German Army into disaster in Soviet Russia. (Gotta love Generals Winter, Snow, and Mud comrade)

Of course, Rome did eventually fall; the sun did eventually set on the British Empire (but not the Commonwealth!), and the Soviet Union and Soviet client-states in Eastern Europe showed the world the folly of Marxist-Leninism. But the Irish are still draining the pubs dry in Ireland!

Aw you guys are so lucky. I'm just.. Korean.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being one nationality, Hana. If anything, that's pretty cool too. To be honest, I feel sorry for my kids (when I have them). My girlfriend's Filipino, so they're going to be 50% Filipino and 50% American mutt.

Hah thanks Scooter. :]

So how come everything's been slowing down.. Time to speed things up again, folks!

MY QUESTION: Single or Dating??

Quoted sour_hana (on May 21 2006, 11:37 AM) —

Hah thanks Scooter. :]

So how come everything's been slowing down.. Time to speed things up again, folks!

MY QUESTION: Single or Dating??

Separated...in the process of divorce. And no, it's not because of my girlfriend.

Single: I'm moving at the end of the summer to go to college. So I Completely stopped dating!
I tell you right now that this is one of the hardest things I've ever done.
I now know how these drug adicts feel like. Example: I meet this new girl, she likes the same things I like, she hates the same things I hate, she's gorgious, she's single, and I know I can't ask her out because I'm leaving soon.

hahaaww I"m sure you'll find someone after moving too.

I'm single. I'm not sure if I'm mature enough to handle dating yet.. and well, I get a bit picky. For example, if that person and I can't keep a conversation going for a long time without getting tired of one another, then there's a problem. And I don't like awkward situations so if I feel awkward more than a few times.. then I freak out and run away. (Once again, maturity is a big deal in my case) I'm okay though, I have many, many years ahead of me.

Extra Notice: UPDATES ARE NEEDED IN THE RPG SECTION IMMEDIATELY. Is everyone on break? ^^;

Hey, guys! Back in action! x3 Can't keep Rai-chan down and out for long! (If you want to know why, check the RP) And thanks to mah new laptop, Rukia, I shall probably be more active!

-School is out for me as of last Friday
-Summer plans? x3 Plans are for weirdos! Just kidding. Lots of movies to see. One down, one tommorrow, two to go after that. We plan on taking one of our friends to Six Flags to make him go on rollercoasters (he thinks he's a kickin' and refuses to ride them. xD Ha. loser)
-Single or dating? Ha. I tend to have a bad history with guys. And in addition to that, it's impossible to date in my crappy little town because I've known almost everyone for most of my life. x_x; Maybe NDK will bring me love. xD Haha.

Also, I LOVE YOU ALL! x3

Heh...he thinks he feeling old. Heck, I can remember America's Bicentennial. And what I was doing when Challenger was lost. And when KAL 007 was shot down by the Soviet Union. And when Reagan bombed Libya...etc, ad nauseum. ::settles on to his rocking chair, and wraps an afghan around his legs::

Umm.. Dating. And Thankyou guys for the happy birthdays! Even though now its what? 26 days ago? lol. Sorry i've been absent. Parents...

Bloodlines eh? I belive I have the following in me: British, German I think, French, Native American, apprently some Greek or something umm... that's all I can think of now.

And some of my ancestors that have been in recent wars
--Stephen Barrentine - War of 1812, apprently some indian wars, and the Civil War (He must of been OLD. His son was in the Civil War too. Both were Confederate)
--William Ruger Something - Civil War, confederate
--Sidney William Tilman Branton - World War I

Thats all I know of them.

Wow lol nobody from my fathers side fought in any war. lol
All they did was shoot and run behind a tree screaming "Get off my Land Hippies!"

My mother's ancestors were Puritans, kicked out of every country in Europe; Loyalists during the American Revolution; survived an Indian War Party with Daniel Boone; and was at the Alamo when Sam Houston P'O'd Santa Anna.

Loyalist? lol. Didn't do so well did they?

Quoted Hitodama (on Jun 8 2006, 04:25 PM) —

Loyalist? lol. Didn't do so well did they?

Nope. And as you can see, my family's had a history of [censored]...making people mad at us.

Historically speaking though, only about a third of the Colonies were in favor of declaring independence from Britain, a third remained Loyal to the Crown, and a third were completely and totally indifferent--all they wanted to know was where their next shilling or meal was coming from.

Meh. End result is all that matters, ne? *Sings National Anthem*


My literary and vocabulary matricies may be suffering from a temporary deffenciancy. Please excuse my lack of... Thoughtfulness for the moment

Can you dumb that down a shade please?

Dumb what down, Ranma-kun?

Exactly

God Bless America!

HAHAHAH i understood the conversation until the very last msg from Ranma. Yeah.. so my ties = -34 Or more that I don't know what ties my family has had.

Another question! Yayy!: How was your senior prom??

This is a really highschool/girly question.. but hey I"m a girl and I"m in high school. But if i must, I'll think up a better question next time i post: D
I think it just popped up into my brain cuz tomorrow's my high school's prom.. but me being a sophomore and all.... (ALTHOUGH I was asked to prom for the first time in my life this year!! even if i said no x.x)

I haven't had my senior prom yet. And I haven't been to a prom either. Actually I don't care about proms any. They're rigged. They're full of wierdos... Ect...

My senior prom? You want me to remember all they way back to 1991?
::dusts off the cobwebs, lubes up the gears, and tries to remember:: All I do remember about it was that it was called "A Night To Remember", yet I don't remember it. Of course the implications that it was named after Walter Lord's treatment of the Titanic disaster might have had something to do with not remembering it. And I wore tails and white tie to it.

Oh Boy my senior prom!
Well lets just say I didn't actually go to it, but we did do a few...interesting activities.
1) We teepeed 3 houses
2) We got into a shopping cart(From walmart) and we pulled up to Taco bell and ordered. They gave us free taco's. We were going to go on the road with the cart, but that was to dangerous.(FYI- we also took that same cart the next day to autozone and went up to a sales guy and told him there was something wrong with our car. "Whats wrong with it?" "Well it won't start!" "Well then where is it?" "Its in that parking space there" points to parking spot with cart lol sales guy laughed, manager got mad)
3) We played Paintball, but we didn't use paintball guns (I used a pellet gun, David used his little pump pellet pistel, and the other guys had bb guns lol) Thank God no one lost an eye!
4) Most of the guys went home to their girls, I got dumped by mine and got nuthing but abstinence lol

Well that was my Senior prom!

Yep, Ranma certainly has a more intresting life than me. The prom is always on my dang birthday anyway. Well, this year it was on the 12th, but last year it was the 13th. Friday the 13th.

WOW. That's a prom story I've never heard, Ranma ! hahahahah you're crazy! But it does sound like fun.

Hey, Hitodama, you haven't posted up your "basic" information like most of us have!

EDIT

QUESTION: How often do you cry?
I'm noticing.. that I cry often. Sometimes I don't even know why I'm crying. Feelings just build up at the spur of the moment and I start wailing. But then of course, i immediately feel better.

Does this mean we should dub thee "Soun-Hana"?

Let's see...I tear up when watching most war movies, especially now that I've shared in some of what the soldiers they're portraying have gone through; Memorial and Veteran's Days; whenever I hear Toby Keith's An American Soldier; and I nearly lost it at work, giving the high school students a talk on "Why Memorial Day is important to me".

To Cry or not to Cry?

Hmmm well for starters I never Cry in public, enless of course I'm screwing around and get Smack in a sensitive area. Which has happened more than a few times.
I actually forced myself to cry once! We watched this movie which was sad and all. Then I went to bed and turned on some music, which happened to be Evanecence at the moment. Which made me feel a little uneasy. Then I Decided I should just cry, Why....I had no Idea lol. Then I started to recall thngs that actually made me cry before: When I lost my mother. When I got beat up all the time at school(I was like 8), when I had long hair and people called me hippy and gay and last but not least every single time/moment a girl had dump me.
Now if thats not sad, then You should take a day and do everything possible to remember all the harsh times and see what happens.
But that was the last time I cried. lol I cried for about an hour lol.
(Plus I'm using this story as back up. If lets say I get a new girlfriend or something and she just happens to be crying, then I can come up with something to comfort her, if she smacks me and say: "You don't know what its like to feel this way!") For all the guys out there you'll hear this at least once in your lifetime lol
Well thats my crying story.

Also The past is the past. Your bound to get hurt sometime or another. If you get hurt just remember to take the bad with the good. Thats life, if you can't deal with pain and defeat;Then you might as well give up now. I've had a lot of Horrible things happen to me so far and I'm sure theres more to come, but I'll never let any of that get me down. I'm going to live life to the fullest.
So lets go skydiving

Hito-kun your turn lol

Soun-Hana -.,-;; hahahaha made me chuckle. I'm not really into war movies.. mostly because of all the gore, but when I do, I usually start crying. Just because human life seems so helpless.

Ranma.. I'm terribly sorry. I think I might have brought up a sensitive memories while you were answering to my question. However, I find your strength to live on with your past pains with your head held up high, admirable

Umm.. You mean like tha basic informaition on page one? On which if you scroll down some you will find this?
-----------------------------------------------
Name: Chevis (Odd name huh? Better n' Clarence though. Unique-ness is kewlies )
Age: 16 as of now. 17 in just one week! (May 13th)
Eyes: Brown with yellow hue.
Height: 5'7''
Fav Colors: Hmm... Blue the most. black, red, certain shades of yellow and purple, white... umm... yea. I like colors.
Fav Anime/Manga: I think that's pretty obvious...
Fav Aircraft: F/A-22 Raptor, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, F/A-18 Hornet F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, MiG-29 Fulcrum, P-38 Lighting, F4U Corsair, P-51 Mustang, B-17 Bomber, and the B-2 Bomber. Thats all I can think of for now.
Highly liked/respected Aircraft: F-15 Eagle, F-14 Tomcat, F-16 Falcon, umm... ect.
-----------------------------------------------
I could of sworn I posted that.

I, personally, have no qualms with crying. It's a good way to release negative energy, but it's so much better when you have someone to lean on afterwards... I agree with Ranma-kun on the "Also The past is the past. Your bound to get hurt sometime or another. If you get hurt just remember to take the bad with the good. Thats life, if you can't deal with pain and defeat; Then you might as well give up now." statement... Well.. Maybe not to the letter but near enough that that is as well of an explanation that I can succesfully garner as of now.

That was beautiful

lol Don't worry Hana, I like to dwell once in a while on the past. I just don't let it get to me.
If you look back on the past, then look back to see how much you've improved and grown sense then. Even though you may have had a bad experience, look at it as a good learning tool for the future.


Hito-kuns a man among men......*Sees Hitodama dressing up like his mom O.o*

Hito-kuns a man among men......*Sees Hitodama dressing up like his mom O.o*

What are you implying..?

I look back and say: "Dang.. I used to be stupid..."

I do a lot of those "Dang I was stupid" things too ! haha

YET ANOTHER QUESTION

What do you see attractive in the other secks (or same secks if you prefer)

Jawlines are incredibly sexy. (not too big though!)
Height: I like them to be at least a head taller than I am.

Looks are fairly important to me, but they also have to be a good person, with a pure heart...and if they happen to like airplanes, so much the better. Mental stability is also a big thing for me now. Especially after finding out my ex is nuttier than a fruit cake, and her coping mechanism is blowing money.

Woooaahh, Rai-chan's been on haitus for a bit too long. Sorry about that guys. I also missed a lot of those cute self-tell questions. T_T My bad. I suck.

Blame my taichou(captain. cosplay...group...name)/boyfriend. x_x He talks to me so much I forget what I'm doing. XD

It's mainly the mental aspect for me..

Here it comes!
For all those who think that looks arn't important, your full of *Beep*! There are hidden laws that our bodies are governed by when it comes to mates and mating and such. The first law being: Attraction-A physical liking which such is appealing to another.(The only exception to this rule is if you fall in love with a long/short time friend whom you at first weren't necessarily physcialy attractive to, but in terms came to notice a bond or liking in similar qualities) The second law Being: Similarities: Attitude, Personality, Habits/Hobbies, Morals/Views, and Natural laws. Attitude/Personality- Both of these qualities are very similar. They are similar in the fact that ones attitude reflects ones personality, However ones attitude can also oppose ones personality. It is important that one studies and reflects upon anothers attitude/personality, for the second law can quickly override the first law and turn one away. Habits/Hobbies- One can quickly see and pick up/repulsed by ones habits/hobbies such as language, accents, fashion, physical/mental activities, food, social and living qualities. These things are usually noticed through out ones courtship or social interactions with another and can also be a determining factor between a long term relationship or a break up. Morals/Views- These things are usually harder to determine and maybe violently defended. However once a relationship has been established or even before one was even considered the concept of ones views and likeness are compared to ones own. But ones views and morals can easily be ignored during courtship, however it is important to consider these things within a partner before a relationship goes to deep. Once living abilities and child bearing come into play, Morals and Values become a ruling factor. Natural laws- which consit of longevity and child bearing/raising. These things are also usually ignored till the concept of marriage or the need to leave ones name/pride after ones death.

You know what I've been righting this for about 4 hours now, sense I'm at work and bored lol. I'm tired now, I going on break in like 2 minutes so I'm going to finish this up lol
OK now here is my personal answer to the questions: What do you see attractive in the other secks (or same secks if you prefer) lol
I'm not as concerned about physical appearence, but I am attractive to women who are physicaly fit: Those who are athletic, meaning women who have some muscle on them.
I like women who think like me(Ask later for details lol haha). who are active, work out, but the main thing I'm really looking for in a woman is 'Does she want children?'
If the answer is no then I'lol have to say good bye lol.
I know I'm young(18) and I shouldn't really care right now, but I do!
If you ask me what career I want to persue: I want to be a father and really nothing else.
I love kids and I want to raise kids(Hitlers army lol). So if a woman where to say yes I want kids. Then thats a go for me.
Break time- I'll edit and finish later.

Thinking about children is thinking pretty far ahead..

But I admit, I have thought about children and how many I'm going to have.. their clothes, their education, and everything else.. but I don't think I'd leave the one I love because he didn't want children. I'd persuade him.. somehow first, and maybe "accidentally" get pregnant. hahah

I think the person most important in my life in the future will be my husband. My children would be important too, but it's my spouse that I'm with for the rest of my life. I'm only going to be with the kids while they still need me, and when they leave, my husband and I will still be together. (hoping that we both are still in love wtih each other.. at least a little)

Be careful if you even think about that, Hana-chan. That's 18 to 21 years minimum of resentment on the part of the person you thought you loved. Divorce, especially with children, is not a pretty thing. My sister is going through her second divorce with three children. Her ex'll have to pay child support for the next 18 years, until their youngest is out of college.

I think the person most important in my life in the future will be my husband.  My children would be important too, but it's my spouse that I'm with for the rest of my life.  I'm only going to be with the kids while they still need me, and when they leave, my husband and I will still be together.  (hoping that we both are still in love wtih each other.. at least a little)

Love is an important factor, but so is compatibility. I'm speaking from experience here...and not going to go into it, unless you really want the dirt.

Woah. serious children discussion. o_o

I will in no way be having kids. Little children annoy me. ^-^() Teeehee. Anyway, that was very blunt. But I'm happy for those of you who want them. Please raise them well and keep them away from overly-vibrato pop singers and drugs!

Well you can explain if you want, but you don't have to - its up to you And I wasn't saying that love's all you need of course. The main idea of that paragraph was to explain the order of my priorities in family relations. I know the compatibility is important; compatibility is important in all relationships whether its a lover or friend, so i've experienced its significance too. (Although spouse to spouse matching is probably more important than a friend to friend match)

And the "accidentally getting pregnant".. Of course I wouldn't do that! It wouldn't solve anything to not compromise and settle on an agreement and just get a baby. It would be selfish on my part and could turn out to be too much of a risk in my relationship with my husband. It was a joke

Children... I just want children because it's something I want to experience in life. I think I'd regret not knowing what it feels like to raise a child (or two) as your own. Especially, to feel the great love for your child, a love that isn't like any other kind of affection you've shown.

Um, just a new person jumping in


it's a picture i did of me as a meerkat, yay! Sorry, that's all I have on this computer.

heeyy I actually like the AkaneXTofu pairing ! It's kind of cute.

i know! Right?! So glad you agree

Gaz like invader zim gaz lol


I decided to record times of stupid, weird, and interesting things that happen/ed to me lol.
Ex: 11:45p.m. est(6/23/06) My nose is bleeding for some reason!


Note to Rai-chan: I'm downloading photoshop, so I'm making myself new stuff and a banner for the group, see tomorrow for result...enless I screw this up some how or can't figure it out.

OKAY random question !!

What's the last movie you've seen?

I just came home from watching The Lake House. I absolutely loved it. It was AMAZING. I TOTALLY recommend it.. At first, I thought it wouldn't be good at all and was actually hesitant about watching it but I'm so glad I did. The plot's awesome.

Quoted sour_hana (on Jun 25 2006, 12:51 AM) —

OKAY random question !!

DVD or in the theatre?

Oh, i don't think it really matters..

Critters!

lol That was one weird movie. When was that made?
Little rolly furby looking things with teeth! Reminded me of Grimlens lol

EW i hate HATE HATE (with a passion) THAT MOVIE!!!

Last movie I saw in the theatre was Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Didn't get a chance to see much first run stuff while I was in Iraq. I even had to work when Revenge of the Sith hit the base theatre. Of course, then there was Batman Begins on the flight back from Iraq; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Producers, and Demolition Man on my flight back from the Philippines.

Last movie I saw, totally funny!
Evangelion outtakes #3
Must watch, sooooo funny!!!!

That is pretty funny. I have never seen Neon Genesis before, but now I have to watch it to see what they really said

The last movie I saw was War of the worlds.

Question: Who in here has/is/or will attend college?
I'm a sophmore this coming fall.

Which War of the Worlds? The original 1954 version, ID4, or the cheesy, anti-military, yet somewhat faithfully accurate to the book Tom Cruise version?

I will, hopefully, returning to college this coming fall to finish out my sophmore year (finally!) and move on to my junior year. Requiring to work full time, Nat'l Guard state missions, and a Nat'l Guard mobilization to the Sandbox does wonders for one's academic endeavours. But I love NJ's 15 free credits a semester for Nat'l Guardsmen.

I start my freshmen year...this year lol
I dropped out last year. I had no choice, to far and my credit wouldn't transfer(Stupid school)!

Sorry for not posting as much, My eyes have been really bothering my for the last few days.
I woke up blind this morning, Scared the Hell out of me. I blinked a few times and my eyes went back to normal lol. My left eye isn't focusing anymore, and my %&#ing eye doctor won't let me buy a new pair of contacts and see if my solution is the problem. I just started a new type last month, because my old one was the one the News said had bacteria in it that blinded people. I swear if she doesn't call me about an oppointment tomorrow I'm gonna go over there and scream at them.(I have a right to be mad, I almost wrecked...again! My left eye won't focus and I have to nearly drive off the road so I don't hit up coming cars.) This is really starting to scare me. My eyes are getting worse, Daily!
Well wish me luck,
Where did my Mods go? lol

Time to go back to glasses, Ranma.

As for the mods, they're probably on a whirlwind world tour with Ryouga.

Nah, We had to leave him behind because he interfered with our GPS system... Actually I've been in Washington D.C. since I said I was going to Washington D.C. Right now I'm in a hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee on my way back my home. So I should be home by tomorrow afternoon. That means that I'll be on agian Friday. Gomennasai about the absence. I intend on celebrating my return to home with a mad posting spree.

Btw... As soon as we got there, Washington was attacked by one of the worst storms they've ever had. Anyone along the upper east coast might have seen it as well. It cleared up when we left though... Stupid weather... And boy did my feet hurt! I walked all over downtown D.C. I rode the Metro too... New experiences abound... Well, I've missed home, can't wait to get back. I'm gonna turn in now. Gunnai Mina-san.

I watched Superman!!!!! yesterdayy!!!! Superlong but supercool.

Aw I'm still in highschool.

Don't remind me about the weather, Hito-kun, I live in Jersey. There were times I was actually contemplating building an arc, it was that bad.

An "arc"? I belive that the big wooden boat was called the Ark, Scooter-kun...

Well I guess it's time for a new question then... You know, you guys can ask questions too ! Aren't you guys curious about the other members?

Have you ever fallen in love ? What does it feel like for you?

Me? Goodness no!

..Um... Yes. Or else I wouldn't have answered that single or dating question with "Dating."
I don't see how some people can be so fickle...

Well "dating" doesn't tell me too much because I don't want to jump into the conclusion that just because you're dating someone, you love him/her.

I mean, when I date, I don't automatically love them. OKay.. but I guess it's too similar of a question.

On a rate of 1-10, how good is your life?

Assuming 1 being the worst and 10 being the best:

I rate my life 3.4. For the simple fact I'm in the middle of a nasty divorce where my ex is contesting me on every little thing (no kids, though, thank God), my job stinks (even though it's a job, which I am thankful for), and the person I am actually in love with is 20 thousand miles away.

I'm sorry, that seems awful to deal with

I'd say my life is a 5. It's not all that bad but it's not all that good. Or maybe, I'm just really spoiled, and I just want more in life so I say 5 instead of 6 or 7. Or it could be that my mood is a 5 right now, and I'm just thinking like a 5 person.

Quoted sour_hana (on Jul 9 2006, 09:27 PM) —

I'm sorry, that seems awful to deal with 

Thanks Hana-chan. Believe me when I say this, divorce is no picnic. When you all do find someone who you think you would like to spend the rest of your life with, make sure of it.

Hmm.. I'll say a 4 at the moment. 4 Because, One: I have some school-type work to do, Two: I have a headache, Three: It's kinda hot in this room... ect. Those are just the now reasons, lol. My head hurts too much to try and find out what it is in general...

For the moment right now, i'll say a 3

Because: I'm about to lose my job next monday, I'm moving 2000 miles across country to go to college, I'm going to be living alone for the first time ever, provide for myself, and hope to get through school, life, and all that starts in 4 weeks.
I guess theres an upside, nobody will be borrowing my stuff anymore.
My dad just came in here in the middle of typing this and wanted to "borrow" the keyboard for a "Second" because he broke his. Its now 83 minutes later and I'm using the computers Digital keyboard(The one where you click the letter/number by mouse on the computer). Its pretty hard to do!

When you all do find someone who you think you would like to spend the rest of your life with, make sure of it.

Amen to that.


And I didn't even know digital keyboards existed ! I don't have the patience to deal with them though

I can't use them. I'm two handed...

Quoted Hitodama (on Jul 11 2006, 06:56 AM) —

I can't use them. I'm two handed...

hahahaha yes i think a good percentage of people are two-handed

What have you guys been reading? Last book? I'm currently reading Girl with the Pearl Earings The pages are flipping by fast

Listening to what nowadays? Corinne Rae Bailey Just Like a Star

I'm thinking that I can get a good idea of what someone is like depending on the books they read and like or dislike? And music of course

Last thing I read was a bit of Chrono Crusade.. Not that intresting though. Before that was the first volume of Midori Days, which is quite good. Hmm... Before that was Bleach.. I have no idea before that. I don't write these things down anywhere.

I've been listening to Bleach AMVs, Ranma 1/2 AMVs, Bleach music, and Ranma 1/2 music... lol.

Last book I read was The Princess Bride. Always an amusing read.

I've recently read Alien's DNA
And been listening to TMC&U's Instrumental concert

MMM... Midori Days. MMM... Bleach

Well I just finished reading Girl with the Pearl Earing. Interesting but a tiny tiny bit bland. I needed more adventure. Or romance. ahaha Which ever one.

Nowww.. I'm reading The King Must Die. Or at least, I should read it in a few moments. Ugh. Summer reading list. They to die for

Oh and I just came up from listening to Andrea Bocelli's awesome voice. So charismatic he is!

You know, I never read The Princess Bride. I cant even recall what it's about at this moment.

The Princess Bride? Makes me think of that movie.. with those women... and that country... and the pricessness...

Yeah Somebody on youtube sent me a link to Midori days(Translated) about a month ago. I never watched it because it seemed a little weird(The dude has a person or some...thing attached to his arm!?)
How is it?

Sounds a little like the face on D's hand in Vampire Hunter D...

ahahah it's a weird story, yes... but you have to learn to get past the almost perverted outlook and look into the cuter, funnier, deeper story. it's just a typical love story. Simple, not too long, and FINISHED. So it's nice to watch something *or read* that you don't have to wait for to be continued.

I only read the first volume of the manga. Seemed like a wonderful series to me.

Not a question that one of my own gender would normally ask, But- What was the first video game you ever played? Or what are you playing now?

The first game I played was on the very old nintendo system, Mario world #3.

First I can remember was Super Mario World on the SNES. Right now I'm playing PlanetSide, a MMOFPS (Massively-Multiplayer-Online-First-Person-Shooter).

Why wouldn't one of your gender ask? Is it wrong for females to be curious or intrested in gaming? If so, then I see that as sexist...

So I'm a sexist
I don't think its weird, but I do get bored with games very easily. Then again, I will play one almost every week.

I am an avid gamer.

I'm a vid game critic.
The longer i play it the better it is!

Very first game I remember playing? It was either on an Atari 2600 or Colecovision... Of course, then there was the time I plunked 20 bucks into a Star Wars computer game at the old Playboy Club in Vernon, NJ. Had the same vector graphics as in the first SW movie. I think I was seven at the time, and 20 bucks represented like two months allowance for me.

Not playing much now, because not all of my personal property has returned from Iraq.

I'm sorry for the absence! I was dealing with some jerk over the weekend... and i just didn't feel like turning on the computer. OH! and I'm going to be gone for about three weeks.. starting from tuesday.. I'm going to be far far away. SO DON'T THINK I'VE ABANDONED YOU GUYS!!!

Okay. So First game.. would most likely be mario cart and then the most recent (about two /three years ago) would be kingdom hearts? I never beated any game though.. ahah i just end up giving up.. not much of a gamer. I usually abandon the game ten minutes into it. AH BUT BUT COMPUTER GAMES. gunbound/maplestory. Those were obsessions !

And don't stress out about the creep you were dealing with. They eventually go away if you ignore them long enough.

Yea, Mallets/ect certainly don't seem to get the job done these days. Ask Akane...

Okay then Hana, we'll see you then. If Ranma has one of his moments I'll be sure to reinform him

We'll certainly miss you Hana, plus Chances are I'll be taking 2-3 weeks the moment you get back lol.
Preparing for college and life alone sucks! Mommy

(FYI- we also took that same cart the next day to autozone and went up to a sales guy and told him there was something wrong with our car. "Whats wrong with it?" "Well it won't start!" "Well then where is it?" "Its in that parking space there" points to parking spot with cart lol sales guy laughed, manager got mad)

AHAHAHHAA. I laughed for like 5 minutes about this.
Good Ranma-kun. -petpet- <3

Heh, yes. I wish I had funny freinds... One of my freinds tries to make jokes... they're completely stupid and only he laughs at them... Then the other speaks about totally random things at 102 mph... though usually they have something to do with video games...

Yes... a little bit more about my life there...

My life has humourous incidents, but they are, unfortunately, the kind that you have to be there for.

If you had no limitations and restrictions, what would you want to be?

I'd want to be an acrobat/gymnist. Wear pretty spandex costumes and make up.. And perform live. Oh oh! And sing too while doing flips and jumps and twirls

Well, It defenently wouldn't be that, lol. I'm not sure what I would want to do if there were no limitations. But I do know what kinds of things I want to do anyway.

A. Be a writer of books/manga. and...
B. Pilot.

Also I wouldn't mind havin' my own destroyer or cruiser or something... Though I don't know how everyone else would feel about that...

I wouldn't mind being a fighter pilot. After all, being able to fly through the air at Mach 2, pull 9Gs in 90 degree bank turns, and climb to the edge of space is my idea of fun. Then again, I've also always wanted to be an astronaut, and explore the limits of known space.

Of course, winning MegaMillions when it's in triple digits, buying a tropical island in the South Pacific, declaring it my own nation and retiring as a political leader has also been a pipe dream of mine as well.

Hito-kun, if you're up for it, you just might get that cruiser you wanted. Granted she's about 60 years old, but seems to be in prime shape. All you need to be is my Defense Minister.

Did everyone just...stop posting or what?
lol I'm moved in to my new apartment, even though I'm still not fully unpacked.
One thing I've noticed....I'm ALONE! THE SILENCE! THE SILENCE IS MOCKING ME! THEIRS NO ONE TO TALK TO. YOUUUU! MAGIC 8 BALL! YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! *Shacks* ASK AGAIN LATER!!!!!!!! CURSE YOU MAGIC 8 BALL!!!!!!! *Throws through window* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously.
Its a little harder than I thought, but nothing I can't handle.
Hows everyone been?


YOUUUU! NOISEY MICOWAVE!!!!!YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND!

Quiet? I hadn't noticed.

By the way, Ranma? It isn't good form to schiz out before your first day of classes. Wait until after the pressure has gotten to you, before you crack. Only then can you try ignore the nice gentleman in the white uniforms with the "love-me" jacket and the tranquilizers.

lolol. Funny, funny. Reminds me of that movie where that guy got lost... Can't remember the title... But he made freinds with "Wilson" the soccer ball. I got sad when Wilson was lost at sea.

Its been VERY quiet in the forums too!!!! Ranma !! I"m so glad you're back! I hope your household friends are sociable enough Everyone else seems to have come back as well.. How about I post another question?

Question: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I think I'd wish to be smarter with faster reflexes?

...I don't even know where to start with that... lol. I'm indecisive so I'm not sure what to change.. Certainly could use it though. Yes.

I too am unsure of what I would need if I had the ability to upgrade myself. After all, I happen to like the way I am; as does my S.O. Even if I do look very Scooterish.

Maybe you could look more Kermit or Ms. Piggy-ish. (Is it Kermit or Cermit? I never watched the show itself, that was before my time. Only muppets thingy I ever saw was "The Muppet Babies" and one of them movies... Hated that show... *ends rant*)

Sorry its been a week, getting use to life alone. Right on the 1st Me and some strange looking people I met the same dayO.o went to the paintball field which was right in the middle of no where! Long story short we played till classes started in the morning. -True story
they gave me a strange look yesterday when i showed up in camo pants and a white T. I ruled the field! "Say hello to my Little friend!"
I'm so bored! I just got through eating two tubs of slim jims. I totally forgot The FC even existed. Looks like I should get back to work again lol
Oh and speaking of work, I'm now a Highschool Mathmatics Sub/tutor. This job Rules! All I do is teach dumb kids what I know and yell at them when they get it wrong. What is the answer to
'limit x0 -> 5 when 34.70x/1287.76'
I love it when they look at me with those blank stares

I wouldn't play paintball even if my life depended on it. I fear pain.

School just started for me, how was everyone's first day of school?

ME? EXHAUSTING. It's not all due to school though. I have a Korean Traditional Dance performance this weekend in LA and I had to learn basically five new dances.. Luckily I have learned most.. I just need to get the three drum dance cleaned up a bit. I'd get out of school at three.. and go to LA and leave at nine and arrive home at ten. Oh and then do hwk. It's quite a schedule i've got myself into.. x.x Thanks for reading to my blabbing and complaining. : ]

My schedule is more fun, plus I get the whole afternoon and evening all to my lonely self
Strangely enough, I wanted it that way!?
But I guess its ok. I just hope none of my students call me, the school requires me to give them my phone number.
(If they do call I'll just disconnnect the line lol )
I just hope i don't get in trouble for that...or with parents!

I kinda want to play paintball, but like with Hana-san I don't wanna feel the ouchies. 'Sides, those funny lookin' guns bother me... "What's up with the bicycle seat lookin' thing sittin' on top of my gun?"

I didn't have a normal first day of school, I'm goin' to some funny school where I go in the afternoon. Two hours a week is my required time at school, and it lets me work at my own pace (Which happens to be annoyingly slow...). But it cost money other than taxes so... yeah.

Enjoy your Slim Jims Ranma-kun.

Well Ranma, I"m sure they won't call you if you tell them you don't want them to. :] Take an afternoon nap. That sounds like fun.

I've never heard of a school like Hitodama's. I wish I went there.

Afternoon Nap... I don't like sleeping. (I should be sleeping though.) It's boring. So many things I'd rather be doin'... *Sleeps on keyboard*

My internets been off for 16 days now, Damn YOU COMCAST. I've been yellling and screaming and flipping off comcast employees for days now lol. I finally got it restored this morning. Some Retarded installed a Block or something in the apt complex I live in and that screwed up the only person out of 500 people who live here. They kept giving me this bull all week- Quote: "I'm sorry sir, but it must be your computer thats causing this. We haven't receive any complaints from any of the others who live in your complex. Plus you've said that your interent was connected before." End Quote.....{my response} Quate: " Well let me tell you something B**** the complex I live in is inhabited by Hippies and hicks and none of them own shirts let alone a computer! If You Don't Get a %^#@@ Tech. out here tomorrow I'm reporting you and canceling my $&^* service you peice of $^&%." End Quote.
They Finally got a tech. out here this moring and guess what. Quote "Ohh I see what the problem is someone must have installed a block last week because they didn't want anyone stealing, since everyone who lives here gets free comcast cable." {My response} "Well that was F****** Genous of them."

The moral of the story is: I now Have free Internet service for the next 18 months. Not really a moral but it makes me smile lol

Heh. Funny. Your life is certainly more interesting than mine at this point Ranma-kun. Have fun with your free internet.

wow eighteen months!!

gives you more time to spend on this forum.



iv'e been absent but im hoping to recooperate.

where is everyone elese? I hope everyone still exists .

Post? Right now, I'm lucky if I can get enough sleep, between work, classes, and emergency calls. I need to sleep sometime, after all. *head hits desk at work.*

Hey guys, finally back.
Actually today is the first time in 2 weeks since i been home.
I've been in the hospital for 18 days. I was in a BAD Car Crash.
Well to sum it up I stopped at an intersection and I was the only one on my side, the light turned green, I pulled off and then I woke up in the hospital with my parents crying there eyes out
What happened was two cars were racing and the light was yellow for them even though they were a mile down the road. The two guys in the mustang slamed into me, I went airborn and rolled. I was knocked out instantly, but the two guys in the other car died on sight.
My car is GONE! I saw pictures of it and I'm even wondering how i lived lol
Both my legs are broken, my right leg is broken in 4 places. My left wrist is fractured, I have one broken rib, plus I was unconcious for 13 hours. I finally got to go home today, but I have to go back daily for stupid crap.
I have lots of other problem from the crash, but I'm tired right now. I'll post more tomorrow.

p.s. Don't tell me to get better, because i've heard it for 2 weeks already.

wow. You're very lucky! I'm glad you're still alive ! I'm in utter shock. Wow. id ont know what else to say if you don't want me to say get better How about... stay alive!!! O_O;;

Damn, you're lucky. And be really glad that you survived with what you did. A crash like that could have been worse, a lot worse.

*settles down into a rocker, wrapping an afghan around his legs* It's war story time...

About ten years ago, on Memorial Day Weekend, there was a motor vehicle accident in my town. Two kids had gotten ahold of a BMW 850i, with the 12 cylinder engine, and were out joy-riding. They lost control, and slammed into the left front fender of a parked Ford F-350 dump truck, slid along the driver's side with around 6 inches of penetration into the passenger compartment. We evac'd the passenger to a local hospital, the driver was medevac'd to the local trauma center. During the (short) ride to the chopper, we were suctioning all sorts of body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue. Suffice to say, he died in the OR, because of the level and type of trauma he'd suffered.

So remember kids, know your car, know your capabilities, and for Christ's sake, don't treat your car as a toy. Too Fast, Too Furious is just a movie; read the script.

Speaking of war, I just finished the American Revolution in my class Not interesting

I guess i"ll put out another question before this topic is put out. Get itT?? like a candle is being "put out"

Whats the most random thing you know?

Mine: 25,000 people died in the Revolution & 250,000 - 500,000 were loyalists in the colonies

Uhhh lets seeee another question.

What do you want for Christmas?

Actually, Hana, the study of history requires the right instructor. If your teacher just stands there and lectures, then it can get really boring. But if they get interactive, and make the course interesting, then history can be interesting. For example, were I to teach the American Revolution, I'd set the class up into a Continental Congress and Army; and have them fight the war, after giving a brief lecture on the Revolution. Make it interesting, grab their attention and hold it, is my personal philosophy.

The most random thing I know is in the category: Family History. Ancestors on my mother's side owned a major share in the Mayflower (The St. Johns), and therefore kicked out of every decent European country. Other family members were from Jamestown (The Hargroves). Somewhere in one of the Southern States, there's a family feud between the Hargroves and one other family, a la Hatfields and McCoys. And during the Revolution, the Hargroves were Loyalists.

So, enough about family history...

As for what I want for Christmas? Eithet my two front teeth or plane tickets to the island of Mindanao, in the Philippines.

I'm finnaly back! I'm sorry about my absence guys. Though now that I'm here and I look around the forums... It doesn't look like anyone even noticed..
I haven't been able to get online in too long... lol.

Well, Ranma-kun... That is... Bad. Huh, don't even know what to say about that. I'm glad you made it though. We're all glad you did.

Random Knowledge? Hmm... Alpha Centauri is 4.2 light years away.

What do I want for Christmas? Manga.

As for me...

Name: Eliza

Age: see profile

secks: f

Nationality: Irish and British (American)

Favorite animes: InuYasha and Ranma 1/2

What do I want for Christmas? a long vacation in Cuba or some other exotic place

Interests: Anime, Opera, Japanese language (which I speak some of), Badminton

Dislikes: Poorly drawn anime, war

Bio: A vegitarian and anime lover. I play the violin, and have been for thirteen years and counting, and I am a reletively new otaku as far as anime is concerned. The enviroment today is something I am interested in. A cynic, although I hate to admit it .

Random fact: about 1,500 people die of of Cancer each day and about 3,400 people are diagnosed each day in America.

There you have it.

I sincerely welcome you. I'm just sorry that Ranma and Risa and a few others haven't been active recently. But I'm sure they would be happy to know you have joined our small crew. How were you introduced to Ranma?

Yes, welcome. I think this is my first post in this topic. When I have some more spare time I'll get around to writing mr Ranma 1/2 club bio. I'm sure Ranma's telepathic powers have already alerted him that someone new has joined, and he'll will himself to come back. I hope he get's back soon because the fan clubs startin' to get active again!

So thanks, ~Naraku*Slayer11, you've helped in making everyone more active.

Is there a nickname you prefer? It takes some time to type your name, and I like addressing people by their names, so.. Anything you want me to call you?

N*S? N*S11? NS11? My hero? Or I can just call you ~Naraku*Slayer11! ^^

I sincerely welcome you.  I'm just sorry that Ranma and Risa and a few others haven't been active recently.  But I'm sure they would be happy to know you have joined our small crew. How were you introduced to Ranma?

Thank you, Hana. How I was introduces to Ranma 1/2: I was first into InuYasha (which is why I am Naraku*Slayer11), and then a friend reccomended Ranma 1/2 and I really got into it ever since then. Yup. And Studdevil, how about N*S? or Naraku, which ever you prefer.

P.S. Studdevil- Is it Stud-devil or Studd-evil? and do you mind me calling you stud? Studdy? Stud-Sama?

HAHAHAHHAH STUD-SAMA. That's cute.

Anyhow, which do you prefer: InuYasha or Ranma? This question is FOR EVERYONE.

I like Ranma1/2 more because the storyline is a one of a kind. InuYasha is too, but Ranma's even more crazy.

You're all nuts. All of you. Anyway, welcome N-chan (if you don't mind) to the funny farm.

As for Ranma or Inu-Yasha? I never could get into Inu-Yasha. But diving into Ranma was rather easy. Magical curses? Sure, I've seen enough playing D&D. Really weird martial arts? Hey, it's anime, and anything's possible in anime.

Stud-sama works. You can call me stud if you want too. It's stud devil. Don't ask because it goes back to the runescape age. >.<

I much prefer Ranma for a few reasons. It's whacky and hilarious, actiony, (if that's a word ) and well.. All around loveable characters. Plus, well.. There is no plus.

Ranma-kun, I envy you. Can't wait to get out on my own.... I think my computer is having a heart attack...

Welcome to the Ranma 1/2 FC Naraku*Slayer11! (I like Scooter's "N-chan". Is that fine?)
Please enjoy your stay.

Inuyasha never really interested me for long. I'll watch it if it's on.. Ranma 1/2s just... I don't even know right now.. lol. Ask me later.

Has anyone actually met someone or seen someone who looks like the real deal anime character?? I think I have. Does anyone know what Koko Debut is?? I think i've seen a real person version of Yoh! O_O

Another Question: If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be.

Suffice to say, no. However, I have met authors P.N. Elrod and Peter David; actors Walter Koening (Pavel Chekov [Star Trek] and Alfred Bester [Babylon 5]) and Jerry Doyle (Michael Garibaldi [Babylon 5]), and ran into (not literally) George Lucas. Peter David and Jerry Doyle were at a local sci-fi convention out at SUNY Stony Brook. P.N. Elrod and Walter Koening were at a sci-fi convention in Dallas.

My running into George Lucas is kind of interesting. I was providing supplemental security at Teterboro Airport, as a member of the NJ Army Guard, and during my checks of the various flight service centers, I saw someone who looked really familiar, but couldn't, for the life of me, identify him. I asked one of the girls behind the counter if that was Lucas, and they confirmed it. Of course, being the smart, yet rabid fanboy, I kept my mouth shut, since the airport wasn't the best place to start talking to him or ask for an autograph.

The one thing I'd change about the world? The over-reliance on fossil fuels.

(I like Scooter's "N-chan". Is that fine?)

Yes. I like that a lot, actually, Scootie-kun (is that ok? ). I owe him for coining me such a nice name. I can't believe I never thought of that. I was thinking more Naraku-chan or ~N*S11-chan. But I'd like N-chan or Nara-chan, please.

[SIZE=7]Has anyone actually met someone or seen someone who looks like the real deal anime character??[SIZE=7]

Ranma 1/2? No. Inu-Yasha, Yes. My older brother sometimes looks like Miroku, but barely. So I don't really know anyone who CLOSELY resembles a Takahashi character.

Another Question: If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be.

World peace, no greed, etc. Meh... A little bit childish, but I can dream, can't I? . And, since that is pretty impossible, thanks to the Cancer industry, the war on Iraq, and other controversial things I won't get into now, I will go ahead and choose another one, something more conceivable. I have slept on it; the one thing I would change about the world is that I would go back in time and kill whomever started the first Department of Motor Vehicles!

World peace eh? What exactly are you smoking, and why aren't you sharing? I wouldn't be surprised if the first DMV was organized in New Jersey. We have this nasty penchant for creating bureaucracies in this state.

hm i didn't answer my second question. World Peace V All the way just like NarakuSlayer Then we would a heaven on earth? I think. That's impossible, in my life time anyway, but wouldn't it be a sight to see. And I mean peace to the greatest degreee - where there would be 0 conflicts and controversies.. even among ants? Maybe I've gone to far.

I wouldn't be surprised if the first DMV was organized in New Jersey. We have this nasty penchant for creating bureaucracies in this state

Yeah. I have heard that a lot for some reason, you are not the first. And, it's not just New Jersey that is extremely bureaucratic. Try living in my state. Everything is just, "Sign this, Fill in that, please print only at the line on the bottom of this form". To really get a taste of it though, I would had to have been there. I am planning to go to NY between now and a few months, so I may use some extra money to go next door. But it's a bit scary, since New Jersey has probably the biggest crime rate in the US. Either that, or New York City.

World peace eh? What exactly are you smoking, and why aren't you sharing?

The world would be so much better w/o tobacco. But, alas, I doubt it is actually the cause of war and unballance, not socially, anyway. As for a pandemic, smoking is indefinitely. As for the cause of cancer, yes to that also. I'm just not sure people are killing each other over a stick of poison. Okay, so maybe somebody is.. But.. It dosen't happen that often.

New Jersey isn't that bad, as long as you stay out of the bad areas of Camden, Jersey City, Newark, Passaic, Paterson, Trenton, or most of Essex County. It is, however, rather expensive to live in, with apartment rents typically 800-1000 dollars for a modest studio. That is, however, dependent on where you live. And if you plan on working in NYC and commute, expect to pay NJ, NY, and NYC income taxes, and the NYC commuter tax, in addition to either bus fare, train fare, water taxi fare, or tolls.

NYC's no picnic to live in either, with rents double or triple of what an apartment goes for in NJ, plus parking, or Metrocard fees.

New Jersey isn't that bad, as long as you stay out of the bad areas of Camden, Jersey City, Newark, Passaic, Paterson, Trenton, or most of Essex County.

Um, that's a lot of land to try to avoid, don't ya think? So anyway, I wouldn't mind falling into a jusenkyo spring and turning in to a dragon so long as my dragon half was strong enough to survive most peril. So, what? That's expecting a lot, but dragons, theoretically, are pretty adamant as far as dying goes.

Not really. They're all marked on the highways, like the NJ Turpike, Garden State Parkway, I-80, Routes 46, 1 and 9, etc.

Especially since they're a rather longed lived species. The only problem is because they are a longed lived species. Human ages don't really convert to the ages of dragons.

Human ages don't really convert to the ages of dragons.

No, I suppose they don't. But how are they a long lived species? Unless you are talking about those teeny Asian ones, dragons are merely legend... Erm, right? What do you mean? The period of time since the concept of the dragon was thought up?

Okay.. So they haven't been proven to have existed. Still, I don't know anybody who has seen them, I don't know. Whenever the subject comes up about dragons not existing with somebody, they just say, "what? you don't believe in dragons?". I'm confuzzled!

They tend to be reclusive, generally shunning the environs of man. Which answers the next point that they haven't proven to exist. I don't know, but after centuries of persecution in Western Europe and encroachment on to my habitat, I'd be pretty damn reclusive too. And not believing in Dragons is like not believing in Santa Claus or the Great Pumpkin.

Ah.. True, true. Wakarimasen. In that sense, they are quite long-lived. The whole concept of dragons, as ancient as it is has always been quite mystifying to the mind of humankind.

As for not believieng in the Great Pumkin, for crying out loud, I just don't get these urban myths!! I'm sure all kids have had that little phase where they believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, etc. etc., but like I said, when topics like this do come up, even when children aren't present, they just say, "you mean you don't believe in santa?", or "you've never seen the Peanuts, have you?", And I just end up replying, "of course I've seen the Peanuts Halloween special.. " or "well, no, I don't really believe in Santa, y'mean you do?! ", And they look at me like I have snakes crawling out of my ears! It's a strange thing!

-stares- Uh.. What..? Now there's dragons in the Ranma 1/2 fanclub???

I think dragons exist. Well, something like a dragon. It's like believeing in the yeti or bigfoot.

Ahahahah well the topic sprung out of my question of, what you would to turn into if you could have a jusenkyo curse? And there are...dragons in Ranma right? Lets name all the times I've seen dragons... 1. Ranma's heavenly dragon punch thing 2. the Seven headed dragon thing... 3. uh. Lots of other design dragons?? 4. I'm sure there's someone who has a dragon curse... I think there is. AH there is. In the last few episodes..

Are there? I haven't finished the series yet. But I'm anxious to!!!

I like dragons, and they have a certain place in my heart, but that goes back to my young childhood... And, I know, we kind of made this into a dragon-enthusiast topic, Hana. But, (everyone) please keep in mind that we should try to stay on topic. Oh.. I am such a Hippocrate...

The human species has discovered a lot of mysterious creatures. Therefore, I think if dragons existed, we would have discovered them eons ago. Then again, who knows what unknown beings prowl the earth, as we speak....

I think I was on topic in my previous comment.

And I would like to point out that this is a Member's Biography topic, so it would have been all right to have shared your childhood with the club if you wished.

Question :How was everyone's valentines day?? What did you do?

I ate this korean noodle dish called jjajangmyung that singles traditionally eat on couple holidays. It's kind of depressing, but I was with my friends.

Meh... My Valentine's day went ok. I really can't complain. Just bought a lot of chocolates which will probably end up increasing my risk of Diabetes. And I ate out with my friends, too. Funny.. Easter will be better, though. Mmm.. Peeps, chocolate bunies... I'll have you know I have an out of control sweet-tooth- consider yourself warned, lol.

How did yours go, exactly? What do you mean depressing? Being single? Don't you worry about that. It'll come easy once you begin college.

I like a lot of foreign dishes. My favorite food is Ramen, as a matter of fact! Odd, I know. So.. What does this jjajangmyung taste like? I'm curious to know.

Dragons in childhood: In short, I really liked dragons (and Unicorns, etc.), it all started with the fantasy movies, and the mythology, etc. And I still do... I just, you know, don't believe in 'em anymore. Not entirely, anyway.

Um... Some questions? Erm... If you could be a character in Ranma 1/2 who would you be? Is that alerady a topic? Meh.. I don't have time to read it now, So...

jjajangmyun tastes good... there's no taste like it! Its outer appearance might deceive you though because it's a very deep, rich shade of brown, and it's quite messy to eat. It's nothing like any other kind of food - it has its own distinctive sweet taste that I can't describe You should try some one day... at a korean market/restaurant or wherever they have it.

If i could be a character, i'd be Akane and make my moves on Ranma and end up happily ever after with a dragon as a friend.. hahaa.

I meant that I was depressed valentine's day because I was outwardly admitting my single..ness. By eating jjajangmyun on that day is tradtionally known to be a confession of singlehood. I wasn't REALLY depressed ahahaha and I"m sure boys wiill be ALLL OVER ME in college. HAH just kidding! >.,<;;;;; I really am!

Don't feel bad, Hana-chan. Valentine's Day is "Single's Awareness Day" whether you're single or divorced. Of course, Valentine's never really did anything for me anyway; I'm not all that romantic most of the time.

What did I do? Well, work was closed due to the snowstorm that hit the northeast, so I did laundry, cleaned my place, and had dinner with my parents. Real romantic, ain't it?

*hums childish tune of mockery* HAHA HAHA HA HA... No, I'm lying. That sounds nice that you ate dinner with your parents, escpecially at your age (no insult, really, there are guys in my classes who don't even visit there folks, and that's at my age).

Haha.. Yep. Like I said, I just had a GNO, if you will, watched Titanic and sat around eating candy like a 7 yr. old.

And Hana-chan, Scootie's right; You don't have to feel bad that you are admitting you're single! Point in fact, showing you are single will tell the guys to head right over there --->! *points to sour_hana* Don't you suppose that's a good thing, becoming a otoko-magnet?

Of course, it could have been worse. I could have been sitting around, gorging myself on chocolates, while watching Titanic. And I only watch it, because, at the tender age of 10, I was bit bit by the Titanic Bug. It's a disease that affects certain members of the population, infecting them with this desire to learn all they can about the greatest maritime tragedy of all time. So yes, I've read A Night to Remember and The Night Lives On, by Walter Lord, Raise the Titanic, by Clive Cussler, own a copy of the James Cameron Movie, and heck, I've even played the board game and built a model of her.

And yes, I'll admit that Titanic is one of those movies I can't watch without crying. And it's not because of the love story, it's because of the preventable loss of 1500 souls that night in April 95 years ago.

Didn't I just reply to your post, yesterday? Huh. My computer is really acting up. This week, early yesterday, I couldn't even access Keiici Anime Forever!!!! Oh, well... Whatever...

And the same thing happened to me, when I was like, 8, all my little friends saw Titanic, and I didn't and I wondered why they got to see it at such an early age. And then when I was 12 I was flipping channels and I watched it. And I agree, The fictional section of the story moved me little. It was the fact that so may people lost their lives, and all because "the Un-sinkable RMS Titanic's" propellors were, in fact, way, way too small!! And it was called "the Un-sinkable", but remember how fast it shot down into the ocean?? In about an hour, Right? 12:45-2:20?

Question: What's your favorite movie?

Titanic had a lot of things going against her. The screws are actually a decent size; it's the rudder that's too small, and the centerline screw (the one just forward of the rudder) was on a non-reversible turbine, so when the bridge ordered engines full astern, while attempting to steer around the berg, there was no slipstream for the rudder to operate. The watertight compartments didn't extend all the way up to the main deck, so as the water reached the top of one bulkhead it spilled over the top. The crew had insufficient training in handling such a large vessel; there weren't enough lifeboats, etc., etc. etc. I could go on, but as you can see, one can become consumed by this vessel.
The ship struck the iceberg at 11:40, sank at 2:20; an hour forty minutes. And a surprisingly long amount of time for a ship that large to founder.

---------

As for favorite movies here's a partial list.

Braveheart
Patriot (Mel Gibson)
We Were Soldiers
Patton
The Last Samurai
Seven Samurai
Any Godzilla flick from Toho Productions

Hehehe.. You seem to have a lot of favorite movies, Scooter. I'm not too much of a movie person, myself. On the other hand, then there's....

Kill Bill Vol. I
Kill Bill Vol. II
All the InuYasha movies
The Ranma 1/2 movies
The Green Mile
Titanic
Enter the Dragon

And some others I absent-mindedly forgot about.

Another Quesion: What is your favorite non-anime TV series?

TV? I don't watch a lot of television, but when I do, it's usually the History or SciFi channels, occasionally AMC, and very rarely network.

But here's what I like:

M*A*S*H
Hogan's Heroes
Battlestar Galactica (The new series)
Babylon 5
Star Trek: The Original Series
Stargate: SG1 (on occasion)
Dr. Who (Love the classic series, particularly with Tom Baker)
Mail Call
Mythbusters

So, that's what I watch, when I watch TV. Which reminds me, I've fallen behind on my BSG collection, and really need to contemplate getting Season 3 and 4 on DVD, just to play catch-up.

Hm.. As for movies, I'd watch all of the ones that you guys listed. *Doesn't feel well enough to think about it*

Tv shows?

There's Prison Break, South Park, Psych, Fear Factor, Scare Tactics, Family Guy, Reno 911.. Lost, Jackass, Viva La Bam, Solitary..

Basicly anything you can get off itune. Oi!! Did you see that they have the FUNimation channel up on itunes now? There's 3 anime sereis up already..

I don't watch too much TV, either, Scooter. And I watch more movies than I do TV, but my favorite shows would be:

American Idol
The Colbert Report
House
Family Guy
American Dad
... And the occasional episode of Oprah (if I'm in the mood).

Oh, and I have seen almost all the shows you two watch, thogh I don't like them all:

Scooter:

M*A*S*H
Hogan's Heroes
Star Trek
Stargate
Dr. Who
Mythbusters..

Studdevil:

Prison Break
South Park
Family Guy
Fear Factor
Reno 911
Lost
Jack *passing train muffles out sound of the words*..

itunes? Interesting. I like "i" stuff. Ipods, idogs, imacs, the works...

Oh, and another Question: What is your main hobby?

Main hobby? I have three. I write fanfiction, predominately Ranma 1/2, although I've done a smattering of other stuff, mainly involving airplanes (Area 88, 801st TTS: Airbats). I'm a model builder, preferring to build model aircraft, including kitbashing; although I'm not against building the odd starship (Star Trek or Star Wars particularly) or naval/merchant marine vessel. I was also quite the player of AD&D 2d Edition (Bereth and Cristina in "Wild Stallion and the Drow" are both PCs of mine); I also do a Star Trek-based RP at Star Trek Simulation Forum where my character is married to both Ranko Saotome and Xian Pu, trained under Genma, and received the "Kiss of Marriage" accidentally from Xian Pu, and who's father, a landowner of some 25 thousand square miles, recognized polygamous marriages Will Marx My fourth main hobby is being a military otaku and general Mr. Know-it-all.

Lol... Hmmm. Very good, Scooter, if I do say so, myself. Interesting. In fact, I like writing fanfic myself. Mostly Inu-Yasha, but some Ranma 1/2, too. I'll post some later when I have more time.

As for my hobbies, those would be fanfic writing, drawing, drawing, drawing, watching anime, playing my violin, and most of all, posting in KAF in the Ranma 1/2 fanclub!

Fav. Movies
Little Mermaid, Lion King, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, Rush Hour 1&2, Shrek,

Fav. Series
Korean dramas are the best. Love, romance, drama, incest...?! hahaha It's crazy addictive.

Fav. Hobby
I sing.

I have seen some Korean dramas, I'm not sure what their names were, though. I really enjoyed them. Whenever I see a parody of one of those on American Television, I finally know what they're talking about.

Oh, and some of my favorite movies are Rush Hour 1 and Rush Hour 2. Those two movies always make me laugh.

I think that's cool that you sing, Hana ^^. I was in a choir in highschool, junior high, and the elementary school. So I really like singing too.

Question: Do you like J-Pop? Who's your favor artist? Song? If not, what genre do you like? which artist? And which song is your favorite?

Question: Do you like J-Pop? Who's your favor artist? Song? If not, what genre do you like? which artist? And which song is your favorite?

I do enjoy J-pop, but haven't listened to enough of it to form a real opinion. That being said, I like: Swing/Big Band (particularly Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman), Classic Rock (too many to choose), Classical (Beethoven rocks!), the odd opera (so does Rossini), the Star Wars Soundtracks (Gotta love John Williams), almost any sound track by James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith, the STVI soundtrack, Yohko Kanno (wrote one dogfight and fist fight to Tank! and Piano Black from the Cowboy Bebop OST1 CD), and the odd country singer (An American Soldier, by Toby Keith brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it) (and that includes Johnny Cash as well).

I love J-Pop. I can honestly say that it very well may be my favorite musical genre. My favorite artists/bands (J-Pop) are:

Tomiko Van/ D.A.I- favorite songs: Fukai Mori, We Are, Shinjitsu No Uta, Rakuen

Hamasaki Ayumi- Favorite songs: Dearest, You

BoA- Favorite song: Every heart

Hitomi- Favorite song: I am

...

I love Western music though, too. It's funny you like the Glenn Miller Band and Benny Goodman, because those are my two favorite swing bands! My favorite swing songs are Sing Sing Sing, and In The Mood. ^.^

Favorite Western genres include: Classical (Beethoven, Mozart), Classic Rock (The Who, Beatles, and escpecially Jimmi Hendrix!!!!!), even a few golden oldies remind me of what my parents liked back when, and that really touches me.

Um, I hope these aren't too many questions for you guys..? Well, if not, here is another:

Question: If their is one person (in real life) you admire/wish you could be, who would it be?

I swear, things are getting freaky, N-chan; because those are two of my favorites as well. I also wrote a dogfight scene (air combat) to the 8 minute version of Sing, Sing, Sing.

Question: If their is one person (in real life) you admire/wish you could be, who would it be?

Oh man, so many to choose from...

Albert Einstein
BG Chuck Yeager (first man to fly faster than the speed of sound)
BG William "Billy" Mitchell (I'd love to tell him that he'd be vindicated twenty years after he proved that a plane can sink a battleship)
Winston Churchill
Franklin D. Roosevelt
GAF Henry "Hap" Arnold (father of the modern Air Force, and Chief of Staff of the US Army Air Corps/Forces)
GEN George S. Patton
COL Lawrence Chamberlain

Lol, I am serious! Dead serious.. I had absolutely NO idea those were your 2 favorite songs, as well!! XD That is so crazy... But, I assure you, I'm not following you. What an odd coincidence, though! O.O

I'm actually not quite sure who I'd be. Erm...

... Madame Marie Sklodowska-Curie, because I would've discovered 2 very essential elements in the periodic table, and very honored for it. Plus, I'd be the first woman to win 2 Nobel Prizes.

Do you like J-Pop? Who's your favor artist? Song? If not, what genre do you like? which artist? And which song is your favorite?

The only jpop that I've heard are the anime osts that I come across. I do like Utada Hikaru's Time Will Tell, and it's not from an anime. My favorite artist... I love it how when faced with these favorite questions, I don't remember a thing about myself. I'm into Charlotte Church, Josh Groban, Ben Folds, Corinne Bailey Rae, Lara Fabian, uh uh uh Jonatha Brooke, and Liz Callaway and and John Legend and John Mayer. And my fav. band that i can think of right now is Save Ferris.

I love disney songs.

You haven't really heard any J-Pop, either? It's really great, you should start listening to it. Do you listen to K-Pop? I love that, too. Try listening to some Boa Kwon (BoA). She does both Japanese-Pop and Korean-Pop, and she's one of my favorite singers.

Disney songs... I remember how much I used to love those when I was a little, little kid. ^^
I think my favorite was.. Reflection, from Mulan. Funny how I remember these things now of all times.

I listen to a lot of K.Pop. Not so much anymore, but I did a lOT before. I was obsessed. When they came to the hollywood bowl, my friend and i got front row seats and went CRAZYYY. I used to like Boa but now, I've tired of her singing :l .

I want to go to Disneyland. I love the song, When You Wish Upon a Star. It makes me feel warm inside.

lol, . That's really cool, Hana. All of it, I mean.

I was recently introduced to K-Pop, about a couple months ago, and I really liked it. But what's wrong with BoA? You just heard too much of her, eh? I love BoA... She's a good singer of both genres.

I really think that's sweet that you like Disney stuff, by the way. ^.^

Oh, and I hope you don't feel like I'm patronizing you when I say that it's nice that you like Disney songs. Even though I grew out of it fairly quicky, I still think it's cute, anyway. I don't want to hurt your feelings, that's all.

Question: If you could change one thing about Ranma 1/2, what would it be?

Thank you for your concern NarakuSlayer, but don't worry, I'm not offended at all.

Boa is a great singer, dancer, performer; she deserves all of the attention she gets from her fans.

answer to the question: I would change the ending. Instead of Akane and Ranma just holding hands (in the manga) I'd rather have them smooch.. They never REALLY smooch. I want a REAL REAL REAL smooch.

Ok, Hana. Just making sure.

No. They don't actually, willingly kiss. Unless you count the accidental kissing that happens at least twice, I think. But anyway, they should. Throughout the series, their love for each other grows, but they never kiss? That would be what I'd change, as well as these:

• Genma wouldn't be such a poor father
• Akane would give Ranma more chances at love
• Ranma would ease up on the jokes and criticism every once in a while
• Mousse wouldn't be so... Odd

I know that's a quite a bit, but that's just me. But I love Ranma as it is!

Sorry, I haven't been around of late. I was in Tennessee this past week, trying to resolve some issues from the last time I was there (end of January). Suffice it to say, not much was resolved. And that's a tale in and of itself.
------

If there was one thing I could change about Ranma 1/2? Well, just read Phoenix.

It's no biggie. Sorry to hear it though, Scooter. How was the weather there?

Phoenix, that's right. I really like the way you plotted it. Your taste in Fanfiction is really, really nice. And you know how much I hate fanfic. Yet, I write it. I guess I wanted to make up for the really bad fanfics that I had read. Huh..

It was actually quite nice. I packed for cold weather, they had spring-like.

Thanks for the kudos. But I didn't really pre-plot out the story; I wrote it more of a "How would Ranma handle being an Air Force dependent," and, of course, the shameless self-promotion of an SI. It sort of grew a life of it's own after awhile. And some of it (Scooter's father's death) was a coping mechanism of my own. Yes, my father did contract Stage M prostate cancer; however, he's beaten it back.

Oh, Really? Aww... Sorry about that, Scooter, I know how heavy cancer can be. That's really cool how you did that. Oh, and I know that you didn't quite plot it out, but it's still really good work, lol..

Spring weather? That's odd, even for where you went. Hmm..

Thanks, N-chan. I lost my Dad's mom in 88, to cancer as well; brother to an excessive lifestyle in '92. And my Mom's mom died while in Iraq at 94. Her heart said it was time to call it quits. And the indifference I received from my ex was one reason why she became my ex.

Spring weather? That's odd, even for where you went. Hmm..

IT'S GLOBAL WARMING! THE POLAR CAPS ARE GOING TO MELT, AND WEESA ALL GONNA DIE! *running around like Jar Jar Binks*

*slaps self silly* Sorry about that.

I Know how it feels to lose close family members. But it's ok, I have cousins and a mom and a brother, so I'm hanging in.

Aww... Sometimes I just try to forget that the polar ice caps are shrinking. But the truth is inescapeable.... I've been to Alaska, and even there the summers which are normally about 70-80 degrees can get to 95. Gradually planet Earth is becoming Venus. Such a sad sight. And it's all thanks to pollution and aerosol cans!!! *Walks door-to-door like Jehovah's Witness* THE END IS NEAR!!!

Try convincing our leaders of that. We still haven't complied with the Kyoto Accords, and some nations are like "If the US isn't complying, then why should we." I have no problem paying 3 bucks a gallon, if it were taxes for either infrastructure maintenance or environmental conservation.

As for Jar Jar, no one liked him when TPM came out. If anything SW fans found him to be an annoying nuisance.

Oh, I know it... Actually, I really can't complain, though. After all, America is a pretty green country. I mean, we have the aerosol cans and all the other CFC products, and the cars, and the pollution, and.... Etc., etc., but it sure is better than r Japan. Or KOREA!!! Oh, don't get me started on Korea. The culture is beautiful, but all this nuclear baloney is really dangerous. If I could just... Get all of America to sign a petition against use of that kinda stuff it would really benefit.

But there's no point in trying that, of course.

We may be greener than some countries in our consumer products, N-chan, but when you look at our power generation, we're far from green:

Quoted http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/Usa/Electricity.html —

As of January 1, 2004, U.S. net summer electric generating capacity  was 948 gigawatts (GW). Of this total, 77 percent was thermal (33 percent coal, 22 percent natural gas, 18 percent "dual-fired," 4 percent petroleum), 10 percent hydro, 10 percent nuclear, and 2 percent "other renewables" (geothermal, solar, wind). The amount and geographical distribution of capacity by energy source is a function of, among other things, availability and price of fuels and/or regulations. Capacity by energy source generally shows a geographical pattern such as: significant nuclear capacity in New England, coal in the central U.S., hydroelectric in the Pacific West, and natural gas in the Coastal South.

France, on the other hand, generates 78% of their electricity with nuclear reactors (http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/France/Electricity.html). Scary that the frog people are greener than we are.

As for nuclear weapons, we're guilty of letting that genie out of the bottle in 1945. Of course Operation Downfall, the amphibious assaults on Japan, had statistics of up to 1 million Allied casualties in the first 24 hours of the invasion of Kyushu, President Truman authorized the first (and only) use of nuclear weapons in combat. With a choice between half a million total casualties or millions of Allied dead, and the probable destruction of the Japanese culture, I think Truman chose wisely.

Wow.. A lot of that's news to me. I knew we weren't the greenest country, but that's still pretty bad. Imagine how America may feel when they find out (if they don't already know) that "the frog-eating cowards" are more ecological than we are!

.... At any rate, the world is being so blind, here! It's almost like we don't even realize we're killing ourselves!!

The way I see it, the world's fate is in us liberal's, peacenik's, and hippie's hands to try and convince the world to be more green. Or perhaps we could get Dubbya to pass a law restricting aerosol products? Hmmm... A bit too far-fetched, but that would be interesting to see.....

But what would be do with the aerosol products still here? Throw them into space?

Nuclear weapons: That's not as surprising. We use waaaaaaaay too many nuclear products, all of us, that is. Those who made breakthroughs in Nuclear Science by discovering X-Rays, say, kinda doomed us in doing so. Then again, we can't blame them, I suppose. Laws should have been made to prevent the excessive use of radiation where it's not necessary. That's just what I think.

Actually, if you look at a can of hair spray today, and compare it to one from fifteen years ago, you'll notice there are no CFCs in it.

The problem is carbon emissions. We, as a nation, produce way to much; between power generation, industry, and personal conveyances. We wouldn't need to have two or three cars per household if mass transit was improved. As an example, 18 months ago I went to London on leave from Iraq. I was two blocks away from the Tube in Earl's Court, which took me to where ever I needed to go within city limits for £4 50p on a two zone pass. Going to the Imperial War Museum Duxford, was reasonable, and coming on the bus knocked 20% off the admission.

Mass transit definitely the way to go.

By the way: Ni, I say! Ni!

Actually, if you look at a can of hair spray today, and compare it to one from fifteen years ago, you'll notice there are no CFCs in it.

However, the key word: Usually. I have found at least 10 popular brands of hair spray with NO seal saying that it contains no C F Carbons. And plus, it has that really strong aerosol scent (you can hardly tell, it's subtle. But a lot of aerosol cans I have unknowingly bought have a distinct smell from the non CFC cans).

Oh... Carbon. Does it really do as much (or more) damage than CFCs do? Even with as many motorized vehicles as there are? At any rate, it's still a pretty bad thing, just like aerosols.

Mass transit is a nice way to get around, if you're willing to wait at a bus stop for 10 minutes in extreme weather just to get to the next bus stop, and walk the rest of the way to school. Notwithstanding, it's still more economical. And it's for the best.

..... But I think carpooling is better, it serves the same purpose, AND it isn't as exhausting... At least, I think.

CFCs attack the ozone layer. Carbon Monoxide and Dioxide are greenhouse gases, which, as we know, cause the retention of heat. Coupled with deforestation of the rain forests (tropical and temperate) and the growth of the Sahara into sub-Saharan Africa, the Earth is losing it's ability to control it's own temperature. Which will result in the eventual melting of the polar icecaps, severe drought and starvation, and the inundation of coastal areas by the sea.

Wakarimasu. And the greenhouse effect and ozone layer depletion not only will cause drought, but when the polar ice caps melt, the resulting excess water will surely drown the earth. Or, at least Alaska, Northern Canada and the Arctic Circle. And, of course, gradually Antarctica will dissolve too, thus killing us all.

So, can we make improvements to reverse global warming? Or is it too late? O_O;

Some countries, we just can't convince. With that said, I can say, very pessimistically, we are surely doomed to swelter to death in a T-shirt at 97 Fahrenheit in December, come year 2050.

It's not too late yet. But the longer we wait to do anything, the worse it's going to be. After all, we're only borrowing the planet from our children. It's up to us to be responsible for it's upkeep.

Yeah, it is. But the responsibility... I don't know. The way we are trashing this planet.. We should all know what the cost is for our actions, especially in this case. Yet a lot of Americans say, "I know it depletes our ozone layer, I know, but it's on sale right now!", or something. How dumb is that?

Yeah, it's a shame we think in terms like that. And we're a disposable society as well. It's cheaper to get a new widget than it is to fix the old one. That's honestly not being responsible citizens. One of the hot rod shows (I think it's American Muscle Car) on Speed has a tagline that says: Don't crush'em, restore 'em. Think of how much energy it takes to recycle a car, a refrigerator, washing machine, or other major appliance. And that's if the scrapped item even gets to the recycling yard. Most of the time they show up in the landfills, rusting away.

It is a shame. Humankind is so... Corrupt.

What the irony! A hot rod show, talking about restoring energy?! Cars waste a lot of energy, anyway. Well, unless you count solar cars...

I thought we'd be using those by now.

Well, actually they're talking about restoring a diminishing breed of car- the true American muscle car. With the gas crunch and EPA regulations in the early 70s, the muscle car all but died, except for a handful- the Ford Mustang, the Pontiac Trans Am, and the Chevy Corvette. Every so often, one of the Big Three (GM, Ford, DaimlerChrysler) bring back one of their old marques. GM, has been by far the most environmentally responsible of the Three and their cars get up 30mpg, and have started development of fuel-cell power (along with BMW), and built the only hybrid full-size pickup, a Silverado 1500 Hybrid.

Work, during the school year, is utter boredom. During the summer, it's get the building ready for the new school year. Ah, but I care not any more. I'm going to lovely Biloxi Mississippi for 6 months for Air Force Training. In the middle of Hurricane season.

Oh joy.

So, how come you were gone for so long, anyway?

Well, to make a long story short, I noticed my computer was acting real strange, so I took it in to get fixed and had to travel across the state about a month after that, I was visiting my cousin. That was for a day, then I went in to pic up my machine and they could not do much for me, but at least I got it back. And that's basically what happened. Not much of a short story, ne?

My computer power cable keeps catching on fire! But I cant take it out or I won't be able to use my computer.

Odd. Go to CompUSA and by a new power cable. Unless it's a laptop, then talk to your company's Tech Support. If it's under warranty still.

Yeah, it's a laptop. Mac. I'm on an island right n ow and there's no compusa, etc. There is a mac store but I don't have time to drive down there.

Tsk, tsk. Tough. Yeah, I would just try and hold on 'till you get something better, or get it repaired. But that's awful.
