I hate when that happens, it's happened to my family a couple of times, are
trips never go right, though with us it's more we get lost lol ^_^;;; When my
Parents went to France for the first time it ended up they went during the
hottest summer in nearly a century according to the news lol.
Yes I've been to England, went this past October, it was the first time I'd been
out of country too ^^;; , I had been wanting to go for a long time cause I love
history, and theres alot of WWII and Roman stuff around England. So I went to go
see Hadrian's Wall (The remains of the Roman Wall that used to cross the entire
British Isle), and assorted WWII Relics left over from the war. We spent most of
our time in London, but my father and I also took a ferry over to France for a
day (to visit Normandy, mainly to see the D-Day Landing sites). Was the second
time my family had been, and now I really want to go back. Though I also want to
go Japan alot, and more of Mainland Europe... like Spain, and Italy... and I
could go on forever lol. Cool your friend really went on that cruise? ^^ I
really want to, always have never was sure how lol.
Well I guess I'm one of theose people that it annoys to no end and I just cant
take it. I mean in 20 episodes of one of those series they cover what could be
covered in 2 episodes of some other series. Maybe i'm just picky lol.
I've seen some of Eureka Seven in the original dubbing, I think I like that
better actually, but I will agree that they did do a good job with the dubbing
in the NA version. A rare occurance unfortunately lol. X/1999? What is that? I'm
afraid I've never heard of it... To Google!
^^ Thankies for the episode, downloading!
Yeah my av used to move, but an admin came along and discovered I had set it up
before they changed the kB limit to 30, and it exceeded it. So I just
changed it to a still version.
Hmmmm.... I don't know, I've never had to deal with that sort of duplicate
stuff, if you could link me to teh original scan I might be able to give you a
better opinion.
We went up to Boston around '97 for christmas and the entire time we were there,
we didnt have one flake of snow. They were saying that it was a new record for
the longest time it didnt snow up there. Then as soon as we get home and turn on
the news, the very area we were at had snow up to the tops of cars. ;;
Same thing almost for the 2 or 3 times we went up to TN for christmas. So its
sort of been a family joke that we're cursed to never see real snow lol.
But wow, youve been to England? Ive never gone out of the U.S. before. I really
want to go to Ireland or Japan though
My mom was talking about going on one of those cruises to Antarctica! I think
that would be really fun. Actually, one of my friends did that a couple years
ago and she loved it.
Yeah, it sucks that they did such a bad job with Naruto's dub. And it is quite
amazing how they can drag one thing out to last so many episodes. I mean, how
long did it take them in Bleach to get into the Soul Society and then through
that gate? 9 or 10 episodes? I can see where a lot of people wouldnt be able to
stand that. To me, it gets annoying every now and then, but its still
entertaining enough to watch the episode once a week.
The only time I've watched full episodes on Youtube was a couple weeks ago when
I wanted to catch up to where they were playing Eureka Seven on tv. I would have
just downloaded it in japanese, but I just thought the dub was so awesome so I
ended up watching the dub that someone had uploaded. The quality was suprisingly
good, but still bad compared to a downloaded version. The other series Im forced
to watch on Youtube because I want to see it so badly is X/1999 because I cant
find anywhere to download it
;-;
Ah, I know what you mean, I like to make all my own stuff too. Didnt your avatar
use to move? Cause it stopped moving for me a long time ago lol.
I was messing around with the scan from my sig, trying to make it into a
wallpaper for myself. Does it look good enough to send into MT and not be
deleted? http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/9526/adumi2lz4.jpg
I would think they would delete it because its mostly the original scan, but Ive
seen a few other wallpapers that were the same thing, (all the original scan,
but with some other effects and such applied to it) and those are still here.
Or should I do more with it?
I've seen snow about four times, only twice here at my home, considering I've
lived for sixteen and a half years though, and I can count the times it's kind
of sad. First time was in 1996 when we got a tiny bit of snow (less than an
inch), then in '97 we went to Sequoia National Park (the Red Wood trees in North
California) and it was covered in snow, that's probably the most I've ever seen,
This Past winter it snowed here about an inch and a half, and then when I went
to the North parts of England there was a little snow around the mountains.
(Though it was still late fall so it wasn't much) Yeah travelling to see snow is
kind of hard, since you don't know when its going to fall and when it does, it's
kind of hard to get out there lol (Transportation system seems to crumble) Well,
I really hope you get to see snow soon, I'm sure you will soon enough ^_^. I
know! You could take a trip to the antarctic! ^^ (I want to do that some day,
you know those cruises)
Someone suggested Bleach to me once so I downloaded the episodes, but it didnt
really impress me, I gave it a shot but by the time Episode 30 rolled around I
was just dissapointed in it, so I gave up. Naruto I never had any interest in, I
thought when it came to the states I'd give it a shot (since no matter how much
I try I always end up watching new stuff on Tv lol) but due to poor dubbing that
fell through lol. And I dont really like those series that have that 8 episode
style of story telling, a problem I had with Bleach.
Ugh I hate it when a site you find with what you want doesnt work or something
else happens to it. I can't understand watching Anime on Youtube either, it's
just not worth it considering the horrendous quality, Youtube is great for small
clips and what not, but full episodes? No... just cant see it.
^^ Thankies so much, I really appreciate it ^^. Upload them at you leisure,
don't want you to feel like you have to ^^
Well your sig is very nice, and thank you for the offer but I like making my own
sig/av ^^. I'm weird that way, I'll find stuff eventually, for now I like my
sig, my avatar has to change though.
"Around the overpass being constructed (which is well over 10 stories high)
stuff keeps falling, like tools and stuff, so... it's fun driving around there.
"
^ That made me laugh pretty hard
Hurray, come to TN and keep me company! lol. So you want to go somewhere colder
than where you currently are? Ive never seen snow before
Everytime we tried to go somewhere out of state for winter, it didnt snow there!
So Im wondering how I'll do in the snow since Im so use to the Florida
heat.
Aw, you dont like Bleach or Naruto? Well...I didnt even get into either of them
until I had a crazy marathon of 12-17 episodes of Naruto back in November and
then Bleach played on tv. I really got into and loved Naruto (the english
version is not really good They
messed up the voices and cut out some violence, boo! lol). Bleach is okay,
entertaining, but not really grabbing me to where I absolutely love it. Both
have the irritating tendency to take 8 episodes just to get one thing
accomplished though. Ugh.
I dont think I will cut the poster. Butter knife + lamination should = no harm
done. lol.
I really dont usually have too much of a problem getting liscenced series. Or
maybe I have the luck to get it all just before it gets liscenced. Cant remember
exactly :/ But if you ever need help finding a series, just let me know, Ive
become pretty good at finding series, liscenced or not. Lately, I just keep
hitting the problem of when I find it, something happens to the site it was on
;; Of
course, if you're really desperate, you could always go to Youtube. I honostly
cant understand how people can only watch anime on youtube unless they
absolutely have to though.
I will be happy to upload Haruhi for you! If you really like the first episode,
you should definitely find the rest to be quite entertaining =D I'll start
uploading tomorrow or later tonight after my 2 Geass torrents finish.
Thank you, Im glad you like my new av and sig! Lol, I am ze master of finding
easy, pretty scans that are easy to edit! Thats what I did with these, just did
some minor scan changes, enhanced some colors, and added some brushes ^^. The
sig had 3 different versions though lol. Took me sooo long to get it the way I
wanted it to look. I finally got the final version by coming across someone
else's sig and it had the scan sideways with a small border so I figured I try
that and it came out good thankfully. lol. If you give me a scan, I can try and
make something for you, but I cant make any promises
Unless its a really detailed scan like the last and current scans I used. I
could probably do something then. ^^;;
Well, that sounds kind of scary, but hey, Around the overpass being constructed
(which is well over 10 stories high) stuff keeps falling, like tools and stuff,
so... it's fun driving around there. Heh,
Road expansion around here is still and always has been extremely slow, The last
time a project started they missed their deadline by a year.
Yes I believe you told me you were moving to TN, heh, good luck with that! ^^ !
I remember travelling through Tennessee back in 2000, Very pretty state, though
we mainly passed through the countryside. Eventually I'm getting out of here,
Since I am moving north, I'll probably head to the Northeast, Tennessee is sort
of NE, lol. If I went West it would have to be the extreme North West (like
Seattle, or Canada! that would be fun... now im getting sidetracked) Hope you
like it in TN ^^.
Lol if buisnesses didnt rely on buisness sense, then I'd probably be alot
happier lol, and have alot more stuff . Alas, it's
commerical empire warfare out there. Bleach eh? Meh... Never really liked it,
though Naruto didn't grab me either. Ah well.
Well hope your knife idea works out lol, as long as you dont cut the poster . I
never liked dealing with that kind of stuff. It's so tedious, gives me a
headache lol.
Wow 100 DVDs! I think I only have about 25 or so. Well, thats life for you, For
the longest time I couldnt get downloads either, or couldnt find them. Problem
comes with discovering series you want to watch and they get licensed... makes
it hard to find any torrents that still work. >< I guess your right about
that money thing though lol.
I've only seen the first episode of Haruhi, ^^ I like it alot so far, I would
appreciate it if I could steal the episodes from you lol, but only if it isn't
any trouble to upload them. If it's a problem then I can search elsewhere.
^^
Wow, your sig and Av are awesome! (Wish I could do stuff like that) ^^ Great
work! I'm sick of my av, need a change of scenery, still looking for something
not to hard to edit lol. I'm saving up alot of money so I can purchase programs
to do better at editing stuff, mainly my own drawings, on the computer better.
Though my real goal is to get a tablet, that would be great!
Yes, road expansion is pretty annoying <.< The road they're expanding now
is right next to my school, and I mean right next to it. Its so close that my mom is scared that when
they're done with the road and people are driving on it, that there might be an
accident where a car vears off the road and goes into the school building. It
looks very possible too. Ugh...And for once in all of this city's history, they
are actually coming along with this road really fast! Especially today, they
blocked off the main entrance to the school so everyone had to go around through
a different parking lot.
Lol, my mom and I getting out of Florida and moving to TN. (Dont remember if I
told you that or not already ) So
if you ever move out of Texas come over to Tenneessee and we'll meet up! lol. A
lot of my family is moving/has already moved and they say that they love it
there. They say that all the people are very nice. And if you've got the big
city in and around Nashville if you dont want to live out in the middle of
nowhere lol. Ive been to Knoxville (I think thats the name) probably around 6
times, but it was all back in '99 so I dont remember a whole lot of it.
Down with business sense!
They also said that they are moving out the Naruto stuff and making it all
Bleach I like Bleach and all, but Naruto is so much better in my opinion.
Sticky tack isnt suppose to be permanent and it should definitely be alright is
you're using it on something laminated, its just the problem of being able to
get it all off if its too sticky. I came up with the idea of using a butter
knife to help detach the poster and the tack from the wall lol I'll have to
worry about it later when I have to pack it up though since its alright now. Im
not sure how it does on normal paper...which is a problem because I want to put
up that small Code Geass calendar argh
it all..I already tried tape on it like an idiot and left bits of white-tear
offs from when I took the tape off. Luckily, you shouldnt notice it unless you
already know about it though heh heh. Okay, enough of this, Im probably boring
you lol.
Yeah, it would be like checking this everyday, but hitting Notifications instead
of FMA-FC =D
Oh, I know about watching series months at a time. Until I got fast internet
(which was only back in last August) that was the only way I had to watch anime
besides TV. And that carried on for about 4 years so I have around 100 DVDs The
only good thing about waiting every other month for the next 4 episodes is that
it gives you enough time to save up the $20 bucks for it
And I have all of the Haruhi episodes, if you want I can just upload them for
you! Have you seen any of it yet?
Edit: Muahaha, my sig and avatar no longer match (I knew I couldnt keep that up
long heh heh). Anyways I made a new siggy, do you like it? Or was the other one
better?
Ugh yes road expansion is the worst in my opinion, They've been building a
massive new Toll Road system all through out the city for the past 5 years and
they say it wont be finished for another six .
Really messes up traffic in the mean time. Though the parts that are open are
very efficient. Around my area They keep expanding the width of the roads,
buidling new bridges and all sorts of mess. It's funny cause I remember the
biggest intersection right now near me used to be nothing more than a few stores
surrounded by a huge field not 12 years ago. Ah well, it's like you said,
popular places force expansion. I mean I would say there is much more reason to
go to Florida than come here, but alot of people say they like coming here for
stuff like SXSW and Austin City Limits. *shrug* I still plan on getting out lol
^_^;;
U shaped.. Eep. Good thing mine arent near the window. I hate it when stores
switch their stock around and completely get rid of anything they used to have.
I don't care if it makes business sense, I only care about my convience!
Hmm, Sticky stuff is tricky, I have some sticky boards I use to attach drawings
to so I can put them up on the wall in nice but cheap frames without them
getting wrinkled (ever) of course, that means I can never have them in just
paper form again. Win/lose situation I guess. Posters are alot harder I'd
imagine, I don't have too many actual posters, and I'm afraid i've never used
sticky tack... stuff. But I'm assuming it's permanent? Or does it come off
(hopefully without bringing parts of the poster with it)?
Oh well, I'd just have to check my PMs regularly, I guess It'd be like checking
this everyday. One day I'll bother to figure out why I don't get notified. Ah
well, no time for it now lol.
Thanks for the link! I'm still trying to acquire the series through the net
since I can't wait for all the DVD's to be released, (watching a series months
at a time is not pleasent), All I have is the first episode. Curse license
timing.
Our city went through a crazy expansion too! And it still is...they're making
bigger laned roads near my school and still building a bunch of things down the
road and a whole bunch of other stuff I guess
thats kind of to be expected for the both of us since we live in popular places.
Especially where I live, we have bike week and the races <.<;; Cant get
out of the house when those start goin
Took me a while to find a good FMA one. I got 2, but one of them I didnt care
for (which was the one that got melted, thank goodness) and the other one that I
still have up, I love. I find a picture of it online, I'll send it to you.
I didnt think that they would melt like that either! So you can
have it in a window, just dont flip the bottom up over the window or it will
become U shaped <.< No problem for the offer! I went to the anime shop
again and they didnt even have any FMA ones anymore getting
newer stuff I guess.
You can put posters up with that sticky tack stuff. My mom got me some, but she
got me the wrong kind thats way too
sticky. Im afraid I may never get my Sasuke poster off of my wall without
horribly bending the edges now
Im sure you would get notified if we did PMs. That is still really weird though
that you dont get sent anything. Im sure its the same way with all of my other
old friends that were on MT Probably
why I dont get any gallery item notifs or anything anymore. Unless they really
did just stop going to MT...Im too lazy to check right now though heh
heh.
Edit: The anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is being dubbed and the
company has been doing video by video of their progress. If you like Crispin
Freeman, you should seriously watch this one, its hilarious! http://asosbrigade.com/index.php
I wonder if he came up with that stuff at the end right on the spot or if he
prepared it lol.
Cool, I've heard of animage and Newtype, it's nice that you have an anime store
you can go to, Wish I did, though I might if that place downtown has stuff other
than DVD's. Then again maybe there's even more options than that. This City has
gone through such rapid expansion I don't know what anything is anymore
lol.
Sounds like you have some nice wall scrolls, never have found an FMA one that I
liked lol. I'm kind of picky I guess. I didn't know those things could melt so
easily though O_o good to know. (Especially in this state )
Thanks for the offer, but that's not necessary. ^^ Thanks alot for being so
generous though.
^^ Cool, I don't know how you would put a poster up wihtout a tack... a frame I
suppose, my sister did that a couple of times. Frames are so expensive though
.
I'm assuming you want to preserve it obviously, who wouldnt!? I'm sure i've seen
something other than frames for putting up posters wihtout damaging them......
Ugh I hate when I can't remember things. Well I look forward to your pictures
and I'll defiantely get pictures up when my room is fit to be shown
lol.
Oh don't be sorry, you have nothing to be sorry for! ^_^ They had more support
and we didn't it's as simple as that. Just cause we don't know much about page
construction doesn't mean anything ^^. Besides we can still talk in our
guestbooks or Pms (guestbook is better though cause I never get notified of
anything still). ^_^
Taking the school bus sucks >:0 Luckily, I only had to do it for that one or
two years of school when we were at that house. Then for 3rd and 4th grade my
brother and I rode our bikes to school when we moved since the school was just a
few streets down. Every grade after that my mom has taken me Hurray
for busy streets! lol.
I have 3 japanese anime magazines I have
this year's January Newtype, some magazine called Animage from a year ago and
the one that I just got is much smaller than a Newtype and I have no idea what
its called, they made the font too hard for me to tell whats the letters are
lol. I got the first two from an anime store, one from when I went to Miami the
other weekend and the animage from the store in Orlando that I go to sometimes.
Yeah, I know wallscrolls! I think Ive had...4 now. A sailormoon one from a
friend several years ago and then 2 FMA ones and then a couple months ago I got
a Naruto one and put it in place of one of the FMA ones that my mom ruined by
flipping it over top the window and the bottom black thing melted into a really
weird shape So I have 2 up, covering both my windows. From the few anime stores
around, each one has buckets full of them. Hmm....I would suggest getting one
for you and shipping it to you (itd be no problem since I already send things to
my friend in Tenneessee), but I dont think they would in any box
Once I figure out a way to put up those posters without sticking a tack in them
and clean my room up a little I'll take pictures again to show you And then
once you're room is done, you can show me!
Oh so they're active again? Heh, I guess we will get merged...Im sorry Im so
horrible at putting a page together or this one would look nice...Cant even
figure out that music player
Hmm well that's too bad about Shining Force, though I was a little suspicious
when not too many people reviewed it. Oh well, it's at least worth a rental so
I'll probably look for it when I can, though the time it takes rental stores
around here to get "new" stuff it'll be a couple of weeks
lol.
>_< Wow I couldn't do that, we have some houses like that around here
(mostly around the river/lake, the un developed side of it at least, the other
side is downtown skyscraper city lol) sounds peaceful but I'm not a peaceful
person .
Ugh, I hate the school bus, no matter where it picks you up I just hate it.
Always got a ride, there were only a few times I had to take it and it was those
times I really wished that my parents would have let me ride my bike (my school
was only a mile and a half away). Fortunately my parents didn't like me riding
the bus either. ^^
Cool a Japanese Poster! Wish I could get overseas stuff like that (though import
tax is so expensive ) Do you have any wall scrolls? You know those fabric things
you hang that are like posters but.. fabric obviously and have a scroll... thing
the are attached to.. I'm not very good at describing, but I bought one once,
I've rarely seen them anywhere save online, and they're pretty sparse there too,
but I was wondering if you had ever found one.
Lol I understand about getting rid of a poster cause of lack of interest, ugh
there is so much in my room I need to get rid of since I don't like it anymore,
but I don't have much to replace it with lol ^^;; and I don't like blank
walls/shelves. Your room defiantely sounds like it's a good example of love of
anime. ^^ I'm ashamed of mine now..
I found the otehr FMA group, apparently they were dead for a long time but are
now quite active... and they're page looks really nice too. Unfortunately I must
admit they seem to be alot more active than here and doing quite well, when the
purge occurs, I'm afraid we're probably going to be merged into them.
Im playing 3 also now lol. VP, Shining Force, and I was on my second playthrough
of Tales of the Abyss to get all the special stuff you can only do on the 2nd
time through.
Oh yeah and about Shining Force. Everything is fine except for the horrible
voices! You get use to one or two of them, but really the voices are pretty bad
which really sucks. But there is the option to turn the voices off during
regular gameplay, you just have to hear them in the movie scenes. The fighting
system is alright, pretty hack-and-slash though. The world is really big and its
fun to just explore for a long time. So the games good if you just want a light
hearted game to explore in, but it doesnt seem to have a very deep story or
anything else that would make it awesome. I had such high expectations for it so
Im a little bummed out, but oh well...So if I were you, just rent it.
We lived sorta out int he woods probably when I was around 7 or 8. It wasnt like
a housing development just inside the woods, it was like 7 or 8 houses placed
pretty far apart form each other in a heavily wooded area far from a city XO Or
something like that...I had to ride a bus to school, I hated that...Im a city
person now too, dont wanna live out in the woods again.
Haha, yeah that would have been weird to see a new car in an old house like
that.
My room is packed lol. I want more posters up though! lol. I have 3 more I want
to put up and 2 that I have put up since I took the pictures. I think I took
pictures of my tv and my computer area. So yeah that was only like one side. I
actually do have room for them too, except this one of Kratos from Tales of
Symphonia that I got from a japanese anime magazine that my uncle got me when he
went to Japan (He's marrying a japanese woman that he met in Hawaii, she was on
a business trip) that Im going to put over this big Inuyasha one I have up since
I havent liked Inuyasha anymore for a couple years heh.
I wonder what happened to that other FMA group...If they're active, they will
probably ask to merge them together...
Ugh I miss going to stores lol (ever since my father had his surgery we have to
stay here at the house to take care of him since he cant be trusted to not do
things the doctor forbid him to while in recovery). lol yeah I hate it when
games come out too close together for you to be able to focuse on one. I'm
playing three right now as it is ^_^;;
People tell me that too, but I know what you mean by still... It's the whole
'if' factor I guess. Oh well, I'll have to overcome it eventually, can't live
without a car! (At least not in this country)
So you lived in the woods eh? Like those suburbs they have kind of inside of
forests? (At least around here) I couldn't do that, I'm a big city person. (So
what the heck am I doing here?) Lol that house sounds like an interesting
experience, closest thing I ever found to that was this old abandoned house in
the middle of a field (which is pretty common here since unlike most states
Texas has no set of laws or something that makes it so they have to clean up
rural areas and demolish abandoned property or something like that) only weird
thing about the house was that there was a car in an extremely overgrown
driveway that looked pretty new. We steered clear lol.
More posters?! j/k though I don't know where you would put them. if I recall
your room looked pretty packed lol. Though I think you only showed a single
corner of your room.
Lol I would get distracted too, that's why i'm not putting it in my room,
otherewise I probably wouldnt be able to sleep , besides, I
bought a bunch of station signs and other stuff while I was in London to put in
my room.
>_< I hope this group doesn't get deleted, I mean, I guess we could still
talk through other means but it would be more difficult. And what would happen
to MT FMA fandom as we know it!?! Well, let's just keep remaining active (as if
that will be a problem lol)
I really hope that SF EXA is good! I
read that it is suppose to last over 40 hours so thats good. I dont think the
stores will have it today, but Im still going to call a few dozen times to make
sure lol
I still havent even beat Valkryie Profile yet though XO
Thats not a silly reason at all! Im afraid of that too...Everyone keeps telling
me that because Im thinking about that that I would make a better driver than
some other people, I know what they mean, but still...
I use to live out in the woods several years ago and I was always leading my
friend and my brother around lol. Although I do remember this extremely creepy
house we found out there one time and then for some reason no matter how hard we
tried, we could never find it again O_o That was weird....
Thanks! I should take pictures of my room again, Ive put a bunch more of anime
posters
Ohhh, that would look pretty cool on a wall! I would always get distracted by it
everytime I saw it lol. Glad you got the episode, I hope it plays good for
you.
I just saw this: Groups
Purge/Deletion
Do you think this group will get deleted? I
hope not...
Hmm, Maybe Hollywood Video is more abundant over here, cause we don't have very
many Blockbusters, and you can find about 19 Hollywood Videos around Austin, 2
in our small suburb city alone. Weird. o_O. Darn I totally forgot when Shining
Force EXA was coming out. Thanks for reminding me ^^;; I can go a long time
forgetting about games, even ones that I'm interested in lol, guess I'm used to
long lulls in news on anything.
Weird, I'm afriad to drive too, for different reasons though (I'm failry good at
navigation, probably because my family has relied on me to navigate and read
maps while we're traveling out of state/country ever since about nine years
ago), me I'm terribly afraid that I won't be able to drive on my own for five
minutes without getting into a wreck and maybe hurting someone Maybe
that's a silly reason but I have a hard time with it. Wow you could find your
way out of the woods? I could get lost in the "forest" across our
street thats only about half an acre large lol
Wow your room sounds cool! My rooms
still white, though it's covered by alot of drawings that my parents wanted me
to frame (even though I've made alot better since then, been thinking of
replacing them)
Heh, basically it's going to look something like this: MapImage
except just the map with the station names not all that junk at the bottom of
the image. Don't know why I want to I just love London and since I have all this
london decor now I thought I'd make a wall that way. Plus my sister is doing a
cool design in her room in her house (music sheets) so I kind of got inspired
lol. I guess I'm still weird
Thanks for the upload! ^_^ I've complete download now, now I just need some time
to watch it ^^;;;
Okay, but I'll keep uploading them for you until you decide to buy it or not or
whatever. Episode 1 is at 94% now and says it has another 14 minutes left until
it should be done. Hooray!
I never really liked Blockbuster either. I think we maybe have one Hollywood
Video around here somewhere, I'll try to go to it if I find one. Oh yeah,
Shining Force EXA comes out Tuesday (or wednesday because of the shipping to the
stores)! I reserved mine a week ago just to make sure if there were any last
minute bonus items hehe. Cant wait
She did luck out then! I should really get mine, but actually, Im afraid to
drive I have the worst sense
of direction (lol) and I just dont think would do too well for some reason..I
know the second I drive on my own (after the being accomponied by an adult thing
with the learners) I would get lost Weird though
because if you stuck me in the middle of the woods I would have no problem
finding my way out, but I couldnt get around a city by myself :/ My dad is the
same way so I guess I can blame him lol.
Ive made about the same joke about my brother! lol.
We never painted the inside of our house at all until around a year ago my mom
finally decided to paint several rooms. And all she does is the sponge method,
shes really good at it though at least. But our whole house is done in some kind
of sponge way. My room is actually 3 different colors. The purple from the last
time we painted is see-able a tiny bit, and then theres a dark blue sponged over
that, and then a light blue sponged over that. Looks awesome, but I dont wanna
do it again
Cool, you're going to do a design ^.^. I wanna try something like that the next
time we paint (whenever that will be anyhow).
^_^ Well I really appreciate your sacrificing of time. If I like it after a bit
I might just end up buying so you wouldnt have to upload everything. ^^
Heh, never really liked blockbuster, I always preferred Hollywood Video, they
have a better selection (at least in my area) of movies and games, where as the
Blockbusters around here are generally kind of slow in their acquisition of
anything.
The Driving age restriction here is 18. they changed it three years ago, the
learners permit was left at 15, but it has the whole accompanied by a parent
thing as always and they added a night curfew on it (don't know how you would
enforce that though) until your 17. I don't have my learners since I didnt see a
point even though I've been learning how to drive, figured i'd give myself more
time to learn i guess. I'll get it this year though since I turn 17 in August. I
heard that several other states were thinking of changing the age to 18 as well,
hopefully they won't change it in Florida until you can get your license ^^ My
sister got hers when she was 16, only months before they changed the limit so
she lucked out lol.
Lol, well my sister has always kind of been weird that way, she likes the smell
of cleaners too (like Lysol etc.) Come to think of it probably not a good idea
for her to be living on her own now lol. j/k
Ugh, we did paiting with a sponge method once, never did it again lol. So hard.
We've painted so many time in this house, paint a room, then paint it again
three years later, We had stopped for a couple of years because of money but now
I guess were starting again. Though I am going to paint a single wall in my
bathroom (well the part with the vanity) so at least I get something out of it.
And it's going to be a design too ^^ (Map of the Underground) So that's fun.
Haha, well apparently SP has no protection =D
Oh and its not too much trouble, really! Im just excited to share one of my
favorite shows with someone else Its
currently at 65% done uploading so soon you will get to see it! The first
episode is pretty good, I think you will like it. If everything works out good,
maybe I could upload the whole series for you over several weeks (maybe like one
episode every other day since both the ripping and uploading take so much time.
No effort, just so much time ).
They rent some anime DVDs at Blockbuster (dont know if you have those or not),
but its a pretty crappy selection I saw everytime Ive gone there. It is too bad
they dont have somewhere specially for anime since it all costs so much money
And that stinks that your parents probably wouldnt take you to find that
store...whats the age restriction in Texas? For Florida, you get your learners
at 15, but I havent gotten mine yet for some reason. I think I heard that
they're changing it to 18 soon though.
lol, whats up with that, both our brother/sister like the smell of paint, but we
dont. You're right it isnt healthy either O_o
Eek, the whole first floor? Good luck
Biggest painting job I did was my room and Ive done that twice. My room isnt all
that big, but when the painting you're doing is sponging in 3 different ways, it
gets to be a lot of work ;;
Ohhh right, thats whats aspect ratio is! Thanks lol. Dont need to change that
from what it is then.
Well I'm afraid I've never found a way to rip anything from DVD's, they have so
much protection it's ridiculous. lol. You don't have to go to that much trouble
for me, I'll just look for a bittorrent of the first one or something, I wish
they rented Anime DVDs lol. They rent TV seasons so why not? (Actually I heard
of an anime rental place actually supposedly in Downtown Austin, but I have no
car (or license thanks to Texas age restriction )
and my parents would rather anime only be on my time not theirs lol.) Anyway
what was I saying? Oh yeah, if it's trouble don't bother, thanks for the gesture
though ^^ (of course if you did manage to get it up I would take it )
Blood+ isnt dissapointing me yet so thats a good thing, I'm intriguied to see
where they will go with the story.
XD My sister is one of those people that likes the smell too! It's actually kind
of creepy. Nor healthy. Well for now one room is finished, but my mother insists
on doing the whole first floor... Oh well
Oh the aspect ratios, I hate those, I don't know what the numbers stand for, but
4:3 is the standard ratio for all normal TV's, where as 16:9 is for wide screen
TV's/screens. I'm afraid thats all I know about them ^_^;;;;
Hmm....Do you know of any way to rip episodes from your DVDs? I know its
possible, but Im not sure how exactly (some kind of program I guess?). Maybe if
we found something like that I could at least do the first episode and upload it
for you.
Im sorry you had so much trouble getting it Glad
you really like it though!
Im really liking Blood+ so far, I think it has some real potential too.
Oh man, I hate painting! You're right it is a lot of work and the smell really
gets to you My brother is one of those weirdos that likes the smell lol.
Well anyways, hope it isnt too bad for ya. ^_^
EDIT: I found a program and am testing ripping the first episode. Everything
seems to be going good, Im just really worried about what size it will come out
to be for the uploading part.
EDIT 2: It finished at 219mb, not too bad. The quality isnt the absolute
greatest, but its still fine/good enough. Looking at all of the different
options, Im wondering what I could do to make the quality better, but I have no
idea about all this stuff. Ive heard of aspect ratio 4:3 and 16:9, but I have no
idea what the difference is
Link will be up soon~
Well I'll definately have to work on getting Scrapped Princess, at least seeing
the first episode, If I find myself with some spare money I'll just buy the
first DVD. It's a shame that alot of good animes get passed up, but I guess
thats the case with all sorts of media entertainment.
Well I managed to get chain, wasn't easy though lol, kept getting a refused
connection from Gendou, but I'm glad I finally got it, it is a really good song
^^ Thanks for the link!
Well for the first time in a while I'm anticipating watching something on the
Saturday Night Adult Swim Block, well at least for the first time since they
knocked Trinity Blood off, which wasnt that long ago . Hopefully
Blood+ will turn out good, so far it seems to have potential.
Ugh I havent gotten to watch or do much of anything past couple of days, I hate
painting, too much work
(Actually what I really hate is the smell)
Yeah, he is good at changing his voice when he needs to. His role as a character
name "Moondoggie" is Eureka Seven is pretty funny because of the
character's rediculous grammer ;; Its like
crazy surfer language. Aw man, if I lived somewhere near you, I would let you
borrow my Scrapped Princess DVDs, that series is so awesome, it didnt get the
attention it deserved =(
Yeah, dont watch Air Gear, its not worth your time, there are better series like
Death Note. Oh I have Chain, I would upload it for you, but I just tried and my
internets been running really slow so I was only getting an upload speed of
1.52kbs You have to be a member, but you can get it here: http://gendou.com/amusic/?filter=Back-on&match=3
It shouldnt take long at all to sign up if arent a member already. Chain is an
awesome song, you should definitely like it if you liked Believer
Blood+ was good in the voice acting field too, like Crispin Freeman and Kari
Wahlgren
Oh well, maybe I'll find something else from them that is their usual awesome style. If I do find anything else, I'll
share it here Heh, I deleted the album too
Wow he did Fayt? Lol I guess I didnt pay attention to the credits lol. Cool, he
did a guest part in GITS! (Sounds completely different, always a sign of a good
actor) One day I'll get around to watching Scrapped Princess lol.
^_^;;;;;
Heh, Free time is not something I have unfortunately, just enough to squeeze in
what anime I watch now and play bits and parts of games lol. Curse having a
life! ^^;; I don't think I'll be watching Air Gear, though I may look around for
this Chain song, I did like the other song from the Chain single you uploaded.
Yes I did see Blood+ I didnt think I was going to be interested but I'm very
interested now lol, I'm definately going to watch it tomorrow.
Well thanks for uploading the HMK Album but I must agree with you that I'm quite
dissapointed. It just doesn't quite sound like their usual style. Most of it I'm
afraid isnt worth taking up space on my computer. Glad you liked Home Sweet Home
though ^_^
Awesome! Thanks for uploading that song, I cant wait to hear it ^_^
Yeah, I did the same thing when Eureka Seven was on before, I would see it on,
but just didnt care. But once you start to actually get into it, its very good.
I only watched some of Air Gear because my friend said it was actually kind of
cool, I had no interest in seeing it before. Its alright, but only good enough
to watch you have some serious free time on your hands. I thought Higurashi was
pretty good, gory, but pretty good ^^;; Made you flinch a few times thats for
sure <.< It just got liscenced by Geneon like a week ago.
Oh by the way, did you see Blood+ last saturday? This show looks crazy! I cant
wait to see more of it actually, I bet it gets really good.
EDIT: Look what I just found! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6NVUG0TA
HMK's newest album! It just came out the 14th and is titled "Familia",
Im downloading it now
EDIT2: Well, I just listened to the HMK album and sadly I must say that Im
pretty disappointed
One or two of the songs were maybe okay, but that was it. None of the songs had
that awesome beat that they usually have in their songs like Home Sweet Home
(Which I really love by the way, thanks for uploading it for me) and Shounen
Heart....and more than half of the songs had some really lame phrase in it which
was odd...you'll see what I mean when you listen to the whole thing
<.<;;
Eh, maybe it was because I listened to it at 2 in the morning because I couldnt
get to sleep, but anyways I'd like to know what you think about it :O
Yes I've been to England, went this past October, it was the first time I'd been out of country too ^^;; , I had been wanting to go for a long time cause I love history, and theres alot of WWII and Roman stuff around England. So I went to go see Hadrian's Wall (The remains of the Roman Wall that used to cross the entire British Isle), and assorted WWII Relics left over from the war. We spent most of our time in London, but my father and I also took a ferry over to France for a day (to visit Normandy, mainly to see the D-Day Landing sites). Was the second time my family had been, and now I really want to go back. Though I also want to go Japan alot, and more of Mainland Europe... like Spain, and Italy... and I could go on forever lol. Cool your friend really went on that cruise? ^^ I really want to, always have never was sure how lol.
Well I guess I'm one of theose people that it annoys to no end and I just cant take it. I mean in 20 episodes of one of those series they cover what could be covered in 2 episodes of some other series. Maybe i'm just picky lol.
I've seen some of Eureka Seven in the original dubbing, I think I like that better actually, but I will agree that they did do a good job with the dubbing in the NA version. A rare occurance unfortunately lol. X/1999? What is that? I'm afraid I've never heard of it... To Google!
^^ Thankies for the episode, downloading!
Yeah my av used to move, but an admin came along and discovered I had set it up before they changed the kB limit to 30, and it exceeded it.
So I just
changed it to a still version.
Hmmmm.... I don't know, I've never had to deal with that sort of duplicate stuff, if you could link me to teh original scan I might be able to give you a better opinion.
We went up to Boston around '97 for christmas and the entire time we were there, we didnt have one flake of snow. They were saying that it was a new record for the longest time it didnt snow up there. Then as soon as we get home and turn on the news, the very area we were at had snow up to the tops of cars.
;;
Same thing almost for the 2 or 3 times we went up to TN for christmas. So its sort of been a family joke that we're cursed to never see real snow lol.
But wow, youve been to England? Ive never gone out of the U.S. before. I really want to go to Ireland or Japan though
My mom was talking about going on one of those cruises to Antarctica! I think that would be really fun. Actually, one of my friends did that a couple years ago and she loved it.
Yeah, it sucks that they did such a bad job with Naruto's dub. And it is quite amazing how they can drag one thing out to last so many episodes. I mean, how long did it take them in Bleach to get into the Soul Society and then through that gate? 9 or 10 episodes? I can see where a lot of people wouldnt be able to stand that. To me, it gets annoying every now and then, but its still entertaining enough to watch the episode once a week.
The only time I've watched full episodes on Youtube was a couple weeks ago when I wanted to catch up to where they were playing Eureka Seven on tv. I would have just downloaded it in japanese, but I just thought the dub was so awesome so I ended up watching the dub that someone had uploaded. The quality was suprisingly good, but still bad compared to a downloaded version. The other series Im forced to watch on Youtube because I want to see it so badly is X/1999 because I cant find anywhere to download it ;-;
Second episode of Haruhi now up and running! =D > http://www.sendspace.com/file/8hesal
Ah, I know what you mean, I like to make all my own stuff too. Didnt your avatar use to move? Cause it stopped moving for me a long time ago lol.
I was messing around with the scan from my sig, trying to make it into a wallpaper for myself. Does it look good enough to send into MT and not be deleted?
http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/9526/adumi2lz4.jpg
I would think they would delete it because its mostly the original scan, but Ive seen a few other wallpapers that were the same thing, (all the original scan, but with some other effects and such applied to it) and those are still here.
Or should I do more with it?
I've seen snow about four times, only twice here at my home, considering I've lived for sixteen and a half years though, and I can count the times it's kind of sad. First time was in 1996 when we got a tiny bit of snow (less than an inch), then in '97 we went to Sequoia National Park (the Red Wood trees in North California) and it was covered in snow, that's probably the most I've ever seen, This Past winter it snowed here about an inch and a half, and then when I went to the North parts of England there was a little snow around the mountains. (Though it was still late fall so it wasn't much) Yeah travelling to see snow is kind of hard, since you don't know when its going to fall and when it does, it's kind of hard to get out there lol (Transportation system seems to crumble) Well, I really hope you get to see snow soon, I'm sure you will soon enough ^_^. I know! You could take a trip to the antarctic! ^^ (I want to do that some day, you know those cruises)
Someone suggested Bleach to me once so I downloaded the episodes, but it didnt really impress me, I gave it a shot but by the time Episode 30 rolled around I was just dissapointed in it, so I gave up. Naruto I never had any interest in, I thought when it came to the states I'd give it a shot (since no matter how much I try I always end up watching new stuff on Tv lol) but due to poor dubbing that fell through lol. And I dont really like those series that have that 8 episode style of story telling, a problem I had with Bleach.
Ugh I hate it when a site you find with what you want doesnt work or something else happens to it. I can't understand watching Anime on Youtube either, it's just not worth it considering the horrendous quality, Youtube is great for small clips and what not, but full episodes? No... just cant see it.
^^ Thankies so much, I really appreciate it ^^. Upload them at you leisure, don't want you to feel like you have to ^^
Well your sig is very nice, and thank you for the offer but I like making my own sig/av ^^. I'm weird that way, I'll find stuff eventually, for now I like my sig, my avatar has to change though.
"Around the overpass being constructed (which is well over 10 stories high) stuff keeps falling, like tools and stuff, so... it's fun driving around there.
"
^ That made me laugh pretty hard
Hurray, come to TN and keep me company! lol. So you want to go somewhere colder than where you currently are? Ive never seen snow before
Everytime we tried to go somewhere out of state for winter, it didnt snow there!
So Im wondering how I'll do in the snow since Im so use to the Florida
heat.
Aw, you dont like Bleach or Naruto? Well...I didnt even get into either of them until I had a crazy marathon of 12-17 episodes of Naruto back in November and then Bleach played on tv. I really got into and loved Naruto (the english version is not really good
They
messed up the voices and cut out some violence, boo! lol). Bleach is okay,
entertaining, but not really grabbing me to where I absolutely love it. Both
have the irritating tendency to take 8 episodes just to get one thing
accomplished though. Ugh.
I dont think I will cut the poster. Butter knife + lamination should = no harm done. lol.
I really dont usually have too much of a problem getting liscenced series. Or maybe I have the luck to get it all just before it gets liscenced. Cant remember exactly :/ But if you ever need help finding a series, just let me know, Ive become pretty good at finding series, liscenced or not. Lately, I just keep hitting the problem of when I find it, something happens to the site it was on
;; Of
course, if you're really desperate, you could always go to Youtube. I honostly
cant understand how people can only watch anime on youtube unless they
absolutely have to though.
I will be happy to upload Haruhi for you! If you really like the first episode, you should definitely find the rest to be quite entertaining =D I'll start uploading tomorrow or later tonight after my 2 Geass torrents finish.
Thank you, Im glad you like my new av and sig! Lol, I am ze master of finding easy, pretty scans that are easy to edit! Thats what I did with these, just did some minor scan changes, enhanced some colors, and added some brushes ^^. The sig had 3 different versions though lol. Took me sooo long to get it the way I wanted it to look. I finally got the final version by coming across someone else's sig and it had the scan sideways with a small border so I figured I try that and it came out good thankfully. lol. If you give me a scan, I can try and make something for you, but I cant make any promises
Unless its a really detailed scan like the last and current scans I used. I
could probably do something then. ^^;;
Well, that sounds kind of scary, but hey, Around the overpass being constructed (which is well over 10 stories high) stuff keeps falling, like tools and stuff, so... it's fun driving around there.
Heh,
Road expansion around here is still and always has been extremely slow, The last
time a project started they missed their deadline by a year.
Yes I believe you told me you were moving to TN, heh, good luck with that! ^^ ! I remember travelling through Tennessee back in 2000, Very pretty state, though we mainly passed through the countryside. Eventually I'm getting out of here, Since I am moving north, I'll probably head to the Northeast, Tennessee is sort of NE, lol. If I went West it would have to be the extreme North West (like Seattle, or Canada! that would be fun... now im getting sidetracked) Hope you like it in TN ^^.
Lol if buisnesses didnt rely on buisness sense, then I'd probably be alot happier lol, and have alot more stuff
. Alas, it's
commerical empire warfare out there. Bleach eh? Meh... Never really liked it,
though Naruto didn't grab me either. Ah well.
Well hope your knife idea works out lol, as long as you dont cut the poster
. I
never liked dealing with that kind of stuff. It's so tedious, gives me a
headache lol.
Wow 100 DVDs! I think I only have about 25 or so. Well, thats life for you, For the longest time I couldnt get downloads either, or couldnt find them. Problem comes with discovering series you want to watch and they get licensed... makes it hard to find any torrents that still work. >< I guess your right about that money thing though lol.
I've only seen the first episode of Haruhi, ^^ I like it alot so far, I would appreciate it if I could steal the episodes from you lol, but only if it isn't any trouble to upload them. If it's a problem then I can search elsewhere. ^^
Wow, your sig and Av are awesome! (Wish I could do stuff like that) ^^ Great work! I'm sick of my av, need a change of scenery, still looking for something not to hard to edit lol. I'm saving up alot of money so I can purchase programs to do better at editing stuff, mainly my own drawings, on the computer better. Though my real goal is to get a tablet, that would be great!
Yes, road expansion is pretty annoying <.< The road they're expanding now is right next to my school, and I mean right next to it. Its so close that my mom is scared that when they're done with the road and people are driving on it, that there might be an accident where a car vears off the road and goes into the school building. It looks very possible too. Ugh...And for once in all of this city's history, they are actually coming along with this road really fast! Especially today, they blocked off the main entrance to the school so everyone had to go around through a different parking lot.
Lol, my mom and I getting out of Florida and moving to TN. (Dont remember if I told you that or not already
) So
if you ever move out of Texas come over to Tenneessee and we'll meet up! lol. A
lot of my family is moving/has already moved and they say that they love it
there. They say that all the people are very nice. And if you've got the big
city in and around Nashville if you dont want to live out in the middle of
nowhere lol. Ive been to Knoxville (I think thats the name) probably around 6
times, but it was all back in '99 so I dont remember a whole lot of it.
Down with business sense!
I like Bleach and all, but Naruto is so much better in my opinion.
They also said that they are moving out the Naruto stuff and making it all Bleach
Sticky tack isnt suppose to be permanent and it should definitely be alright is you're using it on something laminated, its just the problem of being able to get it all off if its too sticky. I came up with the idea of using a butter knife to help detach the poster and the tack from the wall lol
I'll have to
worry about it later when I have to pack it up though since its alright now. Im
not sure how it does on normal paper...which is a problem because I want to put
up that small Code Geass calendar
argh
it all..I already tried tape on it like an idiot and left bits of white-tear
offs from when I took the tape off. Luckily, you shouldnt notice it unless you
already know about it though heh heh. Okay, enough of this, Im probably boring
you lol.
Yeah, it would be like checking this everyday, but hitting Notifications instead of FMA-FC =D
Oh, I know about watching series months at a time. Until I got fast internet (which was only back in last August) that was the only way I had to watch anime besides TV. And that carried on for about 4 years so I have around 100 DVDs
The
only good thing about waiting every other month for the next 4 episodes is that
it gives you enough time to save up the $20 bucks for it 
And I have all of the Haruhi episodes, if you want I can just upload them for you! Have you seen any of it yet?
Edit: Muahaha, my sig and avatar no longer match (I knew I couldnt keep that up long heh heh). Anyways I made a new siggy, do you like it? Or was the other one better?
Edit2: Okay, now they do match :P
Ugh yes road expansion is the worst in my opinion, They've been building a massive new Toll Road system all through out the city for the past 5 years and they say it wont be finished for another six
.
Really messes up traffic in the mean time. Though the parts that are open are
very efficient. Around my area They keep expanding the width of the roads,
buidling new bridges and all sorts of mess. It's funny cause I remember the
biggest intersection right now near me used to be nothing more than a few stores
surrounded by a huge field not 12 years ago. Ah well, it's like you said,
popular places force expansion. I mean I would say there is much more reason to
go to Florida than come here, but alot of people say they like coming here for
stuff like SXSW and Austin City Limits. *shrug* I still plan on getting out lol
^_^;;
U shaped.. Eep.
Good thing mine arent near the window. I hate it when stores
switch their stock around and completely get rid of anything they used to have.
I don't care if it makes business sense, I only care about my convience!
Hmm, Sticky stuff is tricky, I have some sticky boards I use to attach drawings to so I can put them up on the wall in nice but cheap frames without them getting wrinkled (ever) of course, that means I can never have them in just paper form again. Win/lose situation I guess. Posters are alot harder I'd imagine, I don't have too many actual posters, and I'm afraid i've never used sticky tack... stuff. But I'm assuming it's permanent? Or does it come off (hopefully without bringing parts of the poster with it)?
Oh well, I'd just have to check my PMs regularly, I guess It'd be like checking this everyday. One day I'll bother to figure out why I don't get notified. Ah well, no time for it now lol.
Thanks for the link! I'm still trying to acquire the series through the net since I can't wait for all the DVD's to be released, (watching a series months at a time is not pleasent), All I have is the first episode. Curse license timing.
Our city went through a crazy expansion too! And it still is...they're making bigger laned roads near my school and still building a bunch of things down the road and a whole bunch of other stuff
I guess
thats kind of to be expected for the both of us since we live in popular places.
Especially where I live, we have bike week and the races <.<;; Cant get
out of the house when those start goin
Took me a while to find a good FMA one. I got 2, but one of them I didnt care for (which was the one that got melted, thank goodness) and the other one that I still have up, I love. I find a picture of it online, I'll send it to you.
So you can
have it in a window, just dont flip the bottom up over the window or it will
become U shaped <.< No problem for the offer! I went to the anime shop
again and they didnt even have any FMA ones anymore
getting
newer stuff I guess.
I didnt think that they would melt like that either!
You can put posters up with that sticky tack stuff. My mom got me some, but she got me the wrong kind thats way too sticky. Im afraid I may never get my Sasuke poster off of my wall without horribly bending the edges now
Im sure you would get notified if we did PMs. That is still really weird though that you dont get sent anything. Im sure its the same way with all of my other old friends that were on MT
Probably
why I dont get any gallery item notifs or anything anymore. Unless they really
did just stop going to MT...Im too lazy to check right now though heh
heh.
Edit: The anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is being dubbed and the company has been doing video by video of their progress. If you like Crispin Freeman, you should seriously watch this one, its hilarious! http://asosbrigade.com/index.php
I wonder if he came up with that stuff at the end right on the spot or if he prepared it lol.
Cool, I've heard of animage and Newtype, it's nice that you have an anime store you can go to, Wish I did, though I might if that place downtown has stuff other than DVD's. Then again maybe there's even more options than that. This City has gone through such rapid expansion I don't know what anything is anymore lol.
Sounds like you have some nice wall scrolls, never have found an FMA one that I liked lol. I'm kind of picky I guess. I didn't know those things could melt so easily though O_o good to know. (Especially in this state
)
Thanks for the offer, but that's not necessary. ^^ Thanks alot for being so
generous though.
^^ Cool, I don't know how you would put a poster up wihtout a tack... a frame I suppose, my sister did that a couple of times. Frames are so expensive though
.
I'm assuming you want to preserve it obviously, who wouldnt!? I'm sure i've seen
something other than frames for putting up posters wihtout damaging them......
Ugh I hate when I can't remember things. Well I look forward to your pictures
and I'll defiantely get pictures up when my room is fit to be shown
lol.
Oh don't be sorry, you have nothing to be sorry for! ^_^ They had more support and we didn't it's as simple as that. Just cause we don't know much about page construction doesn't mean anything ^^. Besides we can still talk in our guestbooks or Pms (guestbook is better though cause I never get notified of anything still). ^_^
Taking the school bus sucks >:0 Luckily, I only had to do it for that one or two years of school when we were at that house. Then for 3rd and 4th grade my brother and I rode our bikes to school when we moved since the school was just a few streets down. Every grade after that my mom has taken me
Hurray
for busy streets! lol.
I have 3 japanese anime magazines
I have
this year's January Newtype, some magazine called Animage from a year ago and
the one that I just got is much smaller than a Newtype and I have no idea what
its called, they made the font too hard for me to tell whats the letters are
lol. I got the first two from an anime store, one from when I went to Miami the
other weekend and the animage from the store in Orlando that I go to sometimes.
Yeah, I know wallscrolls! I think Ive had...4 now. A sailormoon one from a friend several years ago and then 2 FMA ones and then a couple months ago I got a Naruto one and put it in place of one of the FMA ones that my mom ruined by flipping it over top the window and the bottom black thing melted into a really weird shape
So I have 2 up, covering both my windows. From the few anime stores
around, each one has buckets full of them. Hmm....I would suggest getting one
for you and shipping it to you (itd be no problem since I already send things to
my friend in Tenneessee), but I dont think they would in any box
Once I figure out a way to put up those posters without sticking a tack in them and clean my room up a little I'll take pictures again to show you
And then
once you're room is done, you can show me!
Oh so they're active again? Heh, I guess we will get merged...Im sorry Im so horrible at putting a page together or this one would look nice...Cant even figure out that music player
Hmm well that's too bad about Shining Force, though I was a little suspicious when not too many people reviewed it. Oh well, it's at least worth a rental so I'll probably look for it when I can, though the time it takes rental stores around here to get "new" stuff it'll be a couple of weeks lol.
>_< Wow I couldn't do that, we have some houses like that around here (mostly around the river/lake, the un developed side of it at least, the other side is downtown skyscraper city lol) sounds peaceful but I'm not a peaceful person
.
Ugh, I hate the school bus, no matter where it picks you up I just hate it.
Always got a ride, there were only a few times I had to take it and it was those
times I really wished that my parents would have let me ride my bike (my school
was only a mile and a half away). Fortunately my parents didn't like me riding
the bus either. ^^
Cool a Japanese Poster! Wish I could get overseas stuff like that (though import tax is so expensive
) Do you have any wall scrolls? You know those fabric things
you hang that are like posters but.. fabric obviously and have a scroll... thing
the are attached to.. I'm not very good at describing, but I bought one once,
I've rarely seen them anywhere save online, and they're pretty sparse there too,
but I was wondering if you had ever found one.
Lol I understand about getting rid of a poster cause of lack of interest, ugh there is so much in my room I need to get rid of since I don't like it anymore, but I don't have much to replace it with lol ^^;; and I don't like blank walls/shelves. Your room defiantely sounds like it's a good example of love of anime. ^^ I'm ashamed of mine now..
I found the otehr FMA group, apparently they were dead for a long time but are now quite active... and they're page looks really nice too. Unfortunately I must admit they seem to be alot more active than here and doing quite well, when the purge occurs, I'm afraid we're probably going to be merged into them.
Im playing 3 also now lol. VP, Shining Force, and I was on my second playthrough of Tales of the Abyss to get all the special stuff you can only do on the 2nd time through.
Oh yeah and about Shining Force. Everything is fine except for the horrible voices! You get use to one or two of them, but really the voices are pretty bad which really sucks. But there is the option to turn the voices off during regular gameplay, you just have to hear them in the movie scenes. The fighting system is alright, pretty hack-and-slash though. The world is really big and its fun to just explore for a long time. So the games good if you just want a light hearted game to explore in, but it doesnt seem to have a very deep story or anything else that would make it awesome. I had such high expectations for it so Im a little bummed out, but oh well...So if I were you, just rent it.
We lived sorta out int he woods probably when I was around 7 or 8. It wasnt like a housing development just inside the woods, it was like 7 or 8 houses placed pretty far apart form each other in a heavily wooded area far from a city XO Or something like that...I had to ride a bus to school, I hated that...Im a city person now too, dont wanna live out in the woods again.
Haha, yeah that would have been weird to see a new car in an old house like that.
My room is packed lol. I want more posters up though! lol. I have 3 more I want to put up and 2 that I have put up since I took the pictures. I think I took pictures of my tv and my computer area. So yeah that was only like one side. I actually do have room for them too, except this one of Kratos from Tales of Symphonia that I got from a japanese anime magazine that my uncle got me when he went to Japan (He's marrying a japanese woman that he met in Hawaii, she was on a business trip) that Im going to put over this big Inuyasha one I have up since I havent liked Inuyasha anymore for a couple years heh.
I wonder what happened to that other FMA group...If they're active, they will probably ask to merge them together...
Ugh I miss going to stores lol (ever since my father had his surgery we have to stay here at the house to take care of him since he cant be trusted to not do things the doctor forbid him to while in recovery). lol yeah I hate it when games come out too close together for you to be able to focuse on one. I'm playing three right now as it is ^_^;;
People tell me that too, but I know what you mean by still... It's the whole 'if' factor I guess. Oh well, I'll have to overcome it eventually, can't live without a car! (At least not in this country)
So you lived in the woods eh? Like those suburbs they have kind of inside of forests? (At least around here) I couldn't do that, I'm a big city person. (So what the heck am I doing here?) Lol that house sounds like an interesting experience, closest thing I ever found to that was this old abandoned house in the middle of a field (which is pretty common here since unlike most states Texas has no set of laws or something that makes it so they have to clean up rural areas and demolish abandoned property or something like that) only weird thing about the house was that there was a car in an extremely overgrown driveway that looked pretty new. We steered clear lol.
More posters?! j/k though I don't know where you would put them. if I recall your room looked pretty packed lol. Though I think you only showed a single corner of your room.
Lol I would get distracted too, that's why i'm not putting it in my room, otherewise I probably wouldnt be able to sleep
, besides, I
bought a bunch of station signs and other stuff while I was in London to put in
my room.
>_< I hope this group doesn't get deleted, I mean, I guess we could still talk through other means but it would be more difficult. And what would happen to MT FMA fandom as we know it!?! Well, let's just keep remaining active (as if that will be a problem lol)
I really hope that SF EXA is good! I read that it is suppose to last over 40 hours so thats good. I dont think the stores will have it today, but Im still going to call a few dozen times to make sure lol
I still havent even beat Valkryie Profile yet though XO
Thats not a silly reason at all! Im afraid of that too...Everyone keeps telling me that because Im thinking about that that I would make a better driver than some other people, I know what they mean, but still...
I use to live out in the woods several years ago and I was always leading my friend and my brother around lol. Although I do remember this extremely creepy house we found out there one time and then for some reason no matter how hard we tried, we could never find it again O_o That was weird....
Thanks! I should take pictures of my room again, Ive put a bunch more of anime posters
Ohhh, that would look pretty cool on a wall! I would always get distracted by it everytime I saw it lol. Glad you got the episode, I hope it plays good for you.
I just saw this: Groups Purge/Deletion
I
hope not...
Do you think this group will get deleted?
Hmm, Maybe Hollywood Video is more abundant over here, cause we don't have very many Blockbusters, and you can find about 19 Hollywood Videos around Austin, 2 in our small suburb city alone. Weird. o_O. Darn I totally forgot when Shining Force EXA was coming out. Thanks for reminding me ^^;; I can go a long time forgetting about games, even ones that I'm interested in lol, guess I'm used to long lulls in news on anything.
Weird, I'm afriad to drive too, for different reasons though (I'm failry good at navigation, probably because my family has relied on me to navigate and read maps while we're traveling out of state/country ever since about nine years ago), me I'm terribly afraid that I won't be able to drive on my own for five minutes without getting into a wreck and maybe hurting someone
Maybe
that's a silly reason but I have a hard time with it. Wow you could find your
way out of the woods? I could get lost in the "forest" across our
street thats only about half an acre large lol
Wow your room sounds cool!
My rooms
still white, though it's covered by alot of drawings that my parents wanted me
to frame (even though I've made alot better since then, been thinking of
replacing them)
Heh, basically it's going to look something like this: MapImage except just the map with the station names not all that junk at the bottom of the image. Don't know why I want to I just love London and since I have all this london decor now I thought I'd make a wall that way. Plus my sister is doing a cool design in her room in her house (music sheets) so I kind of got inspired lol. I guess I'm still weird
Thanks for the upload! ^_^ I've complete download now, now I just need some time to watch it ^^;;;
Okay, but I'll keep uploading them for you until you decide to buy it or not or whatever. Episode 1 is at 94% now and says it has another 14 minutes left until it should be done. Hooray!
I never really liked Blockbuster either. I think we maybe have one Hollywood Video around here somewhere, I'll try to go to it if I find one. Oh yeah, Shining Force EXA comes out Tuesday (or wednesday because of the shipping to the stores)! I reserved mine a week ago just to make sure if there were any last minute bonus items hehe. Cant wait
She did luck out then! I should really get mine, but actually, Im afraid to drive
I have the worst sense
of direction (lol) and I just dont think would do too well for some reason..I
know the second I drive on my own (after the being accomponied by an adult thing
with the learners) I would get lost
Weird though
because if you stuck me in the middle of the woods I would have no problem
finding my way out, but I couldnt get around a city by myself :/ My dad is the
same way so I guess I can blame him lol.
Ive made about the same joke about my brother! lol.
We never painted the inside of our house at all until around a year ago my mom finally decided to paint several rooms. And all she does is the sponge method, shes really good at it though at least. But our whole house is done in some kind of sponge way. My room is actually 3 different colors. The purple from the last time we painted is see-able a tiny bit, and then theres a dark blue sponged over that, and then a light blue sponged over that. Looks awesome, but I dont wanna do it again
Cool, you're going to do a design ^.^. I wanna try something like that the next time we paint (whenever that will be anyhow).
EDIT: Yes, its done!

(The brown haired guy, Chris, is my favorite character
^_^ Well I really appreciate your sacrificing of time. If I like it after a bit I might just end up buying so you wouldnt have to upload everything. ^^
Heh, never really liked blockbuster, I always preferred Hollywood Video, they have a better selection (at least in my area) of movies and games, where as the Blockbusters around here are generally kind of slow in their acquisition of anything.
The Driving age restriction here is 18. they changed it three years ago, the learners permit was left at 15, but it has the whole accompanied by a parent thing as always and they added a night curfew on it (don't know how you would enforce that though) until your 17. I don't have my learners since I didnt see a point even though I've been learning how to drive, figured i'd give myself more time to learn i guess. I'll get it this year though since I turn 17 in August. I heard that several other states were thinking of changing the age to 18 as well, hopefully they won't change it in Florida until you can get your license ^^ My sister got hers when she was 16, only months before they changed the limit so she lucked out lol.
Lol, well my sister has always kind of been weird that way, she likes the smell of cleaners too (like Lysol etc.) Come to think of it probably not a good idea for her to be living on her own now lol. j/k
Ugh, we did paiting with a sponge method once, never did it again lol. So hard. We've painted so many time in this house, paint a room, then paint it again three years later, We had stopped for a couple of years because of money but now I guess were starting again. Though I am going to paint a single wall in my bathroom (well the part with the vanity) so at least I get something out of it. And it's going to be a design too ^^ (Map of the Underground) So that's fun.
Haha, well apparently SP has no protection =D
Its
currently at 65% done uploading so soon you will get to see it! The first
episode is pretty good, I think you will like it. If everything works out good,
maybe I could upload the whole series for you over several weeks (maybe like one
episode every other day since both the ripping and uploading take so much time.
No effort, just so much time
).
Oh and its not too much trouble, really! Im just excited to share one of my favorite shows with someone else
They rent some anime DVDs at Blockbuster (dont know if you have those or not), but its a pretty crappy selection I saw everytime Ive gone there. It is too bad they dont have somewhere specially for anime since it all costs so much money
And that stinks that your parents probably wouldnt take you to find that store...whats the age restriction in Texas? For Florida, you get your learners at 15, but I havent gotten mine yet for some reason. I think I heard that they're changing it to 18 soon though.
lol, whats up with that, both our brother/sister like the smell of paint, but we dont. You're right it isnt healthy either O_o
Biggest painting job I did was my room and Ive done that twice. My room isnt all
that big, but when the painting you're doing is sponging in 3 different ways, it
gets to be a lot of work
;;
Eek, the whole first floor? Good luck
Ohhh right, thats whats aspect ratio is! Thanks lol. Dont need to change that from what it is then.
Well I'm afraid I've never found a way to rip anything from DVD's, they have so much protection it's ridiculous. lol. You don't have to go to that much trouble for me, I'll just look for a bittorrent of the first one or something, I wish they rented Anime DVDs lol. They rent TV seasons so why not? (Actually I heard of an anime rental place actually supposedly in Downtown Austin, but I have no car (or license thanks to Texas age restriction
)
and my parents would rather anime only be on my time not theirs lol.) Anyway
what was I saying? Oh yeah, if it's trouble don't bother, thanks for the gesture
though ^^ (of course if you did manage to get it up I would take it
)
Blood+ isnt dissapointing me yet so thats a good thing, I'm intriguied to see where they will go with the story.
XD My sister is one of those people that likes the smell too! It's actually kind of creepy. Nor healthy. Well for now one room is finished, but my mother insists on doing the whole first floor... Oh well
Oh the aspect ratios, I hate those, I don't know what the numbers stand for, but 4:3 is the standard ratio for all normal TV's, where as 16:9 is for wide screen TV's/screens. I'm afraid thats all I know about them ^_^;;;;
Hmm....Do you know of any way to rip episodes from your DVDs? I know its possible, but Im not sure how exactly (some kind of program I guess?). Maybe if we found something like that I could at least do the first episode and upload it for you.
Im sorry you had so much trouble getting it
Glad
you really like it though!
Im really liking Blood+ so far, I think it has some real potential too.
Oh man, I hate painting! You're right it is a lot of work and the smell really gets to you
My brother is one of those weirdos that likes the smell lol.
Well anyways, hope it isnt too bad for ya. ^_^
EDIT: I found a program and am testing ripping the first episode. Everything seems to be going good, Im just really worried about what size it will come out to be for the uploading part.
EDIT 2: It finished at 219mb, not too bad. The quality isnt the absolute greatest, but its still fine/good enough. Looking at all of the different options, Im wondering what I could do to make the quality better, but I have no idea about all this stuff. Ive heard of aspect ratio 4:3 and 16:9, but I have no idea what the difference is
Link will be up soon~
Well I'll definately have to work on getting Scrapped Princess, at least seeing the first episode, If I find myself with some spare money I'll just buy the first DVD. It's a shame that alot of good animes get passed up, but I guess thats the case with all sorts of media entertainment.
Well I managed to get chain, wasn't easy though lol, kept getting a refused connection from Gendou, but I'm glad I finally got it, it is a really good song ^^ Thanks for the link!
Well for the first time in a while I'm anticipating watching something on the Saturday Night Adult Swim Block, well at least for the first time since they knocked Trinity Blood off, which wasnt that long ago
. Hopefully
Blood+ will turn out good, so far it seems to have potential.
Ugh I havent gotten to watch or do much of anything past couple of days, I hate painting, too much work
(Actually what I really hate is the smell)
Yeah, he is good at changing his voice when he needs to. His role as a character name "Moondoggie" is Eureka Seven is pretty funny because of the character's rediculous grammer
;; Its like
crazy surfer language. Aw man, if I lived somewhere near you, I would let you
borrow my Scrapped Princess DVDs, that series is so awesome, it didnt get the
attention it deserved =(
Yeah, dont watch Air Gear, its not worth your time, there are better series like Death Note. Oh I have Chain, I would upload it for you, but I just tried and my internets been running really slow so I was only getting an upload speed of 1.52kbs
You have to be a member, but you can get it here: http://gendou.com/amusic/?filter=Back-on&match=3
It shouldnt take long at all to sign up if arent a member already. Chain is an awesome song, you should definitely like it if you liked Believer
Blood+ was good in the voice acting field too, like Crispin Freeman and Kari Wahlgren
Oh well, maybe I'll find something else from them that is their usual awesome style. If I do find anything else, I'll share it here
Heh, I deleted the album too
Wow he did Fayt? Lol I guess I didnt pay attention to the credits lol. Cool, he did a guest part in GITS! (Sounds completely different, always a sign of a good actor) One day I'll get around to watching Scrapped Princess lol. ^_^;;;;;
Heh, Free time is not something I have unfortunately, just enough to squeeze in what anime I watch now and play bits and parts of games lol. Curse having a life! ^^;; I don't think I'll be watching Air Gear, though I may look around for this Chain song, I did like the other song from the Chain single you uploaded. Yes I did see Blood+ I didnt think I was going to be interested but I'm very interested now lol, I'm definately going to watch it tomorrow.
Well thanks for uploading the HMK Album but I must agree with you that I'm quite dissapointed. It just doesn't quite sound like their usual style. Most of it I'm afraid isnt worth taking up space on my computer. Glad you liked Home Sweet Home though ^_^
You know who Steve Staley is for his role as Fayt in Star Ocean
And my
personal favorite is Chris from Scrapped Princess, but you havent seen that.
Heres his page at ANN: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=7980
Awesome! Thanks for uploading that song, I cant wait to hear it ^_^
Yeah, I did the same thing when Eureka Seven was on before, I would see it on, but just didnt care. But once you start to actually get into it, its very good. I only watched some of Air Gear because my friend said it was actually kind of cool, I had no interest in seeing it before. Its alright, but only good enough to watch you have some serious free time on your hands. I thought Higurashi was pretty good, gory, but pretty good ^^;; Made you flinch a few times thats for sure <.< It just got liscenced by Geneon like a week ago.
Oh by the way, did you see Blood+ last saturday? This show looks crazy! I cant wait to see more of it actually, I bet it gets really good.
EDIT: Look what I just found!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6NVUG0TA
HMK's newest album! It just came out the 14th and is titled "Familia", Im downloading it now
EDIT2: Well, I just listened to the HMK album and sadly I must say that Im pretty disappointed
One or two of the songs were maybe okay, but that was it. None of the songs had that awesome beat that they usually have in their songs like Home Sweet Home (Which I really love by the way, thanks for uploading it for me) and Shounen Heart....and more than half of the songs had some really lame phrase in it which was odd...you'll see what I mean when you listen to the whole thing <.<;;
Eh, maybe it was because I listened to it at 2 in the morning because I couldnt get to sleep, but anyways I'd like to know what you think about it :O
