So yeah...I had a hard on, and I'm not even a dude. 
Zack is sooo hawt. Oh, right...I was playing this in work a little today.  Some guy came in with the Japanese version. It was pretty sweet. Tears swelled up in my eyes. |

| I don't see any reason for this thread to be closed. I may not be staff, nor very active here or NFF as of late...but...still.
Anywho...I've always thought the two boards were closely affiliated. The members are mostly the same and the members who did the most there have done so much here as well, and vice versa... Anywho...I really don't know much else to say except that since I intended on coming back and being active here again, I'll do the same on NFF and hopefully some people will follow suit and do the same. |

**uber tackles** Happy Birthday! Zomg...20. You're kinda old now. 
Christ, we are getting old, ya know that? Xeo, Spyware, True...there were others...remember back in the day when we were the slew of 15 year olds ravaging the board? We're all turning 20 this year... 
Anywho...prepare for your birthday punches. |

Originally posted by Fennicy I sincerely hope that isn't the main driving point. If so, then school is pointless. Hell, doing anything is pointless. If YOU don't want to do it, then life will always suck. If your family and friends truly love you, then they'll share the same reactions as Nagis here.
Anywho, I hear you on that though. This is my second year of college, but as far as credits go, I'm still a freshman, because I just switched majors starting this fall. School for me started in the begining of September. We're a good week or so through October, and I've done nothing. Grant it, part of it is my business professor is on a fusking loooong ass leave of absense, and my school hasn't bothered to get a substitute in. Mentally, I'm just burned out. I finished up my first year of college with a 4.0 GPA...now grant it, I go to a Community College, so it's no Harvard...but college still isn't easy regardless, so I take pride in my 4.0. However, my little 4.0 has gone completely out the window now I'm sure....though I assume it's not far enough below that I can't bring it up by the end of the semester. Point is, from your posts, I can safely assume that you and I are feeling the same about school. I just...don't want to do it anymore. Which is sad I suppose. I used to love school. So...as someone who is going through this along with you, I can honestly preach to ya to just keep your head up and do your best. S'what I've been doing. I've just recently pulled myself together actually. Went everyday this week so far. It sucks getting up and getting there, but once you get used to BEING there again, then it's not so bad. |

| I have Rinoa from FFVIII cosplay, but I'll only wear that to work this year. Might not actually go out this year either, but I know for the parties and stuff, I'm doing the whole conventional "skimpy schoolgirl" kinda thing, only for me that's not so conventional...and I couldn't afford a new costume, so I had to make due with what I had. |

Anywho, of course I'm going to say it's been slow. I've been busy and whenever I come back and lurk a little while, I see other people saying the same thing. **shrugs** New members would be jawesome, but some old ones coming back would be nice...**needs to bug the shit outta Spyware** Xeo, I'm thinking we could maybe see if we can recruit those in the same manner in which I was tugged along here.

| I dun think anyone was really bashing her. Shuyin was simply making a point and Danny just didn't like the books.
But, I do agree with Cairoi. I don't think she "made" anything up on the spot. Through the course of the books, she's always been secretive about many things. Or at least teased fans with information until it was presented in the books. (warning: will speak of homosexuality, and it is objectively speaking, so don't assume I am trying to be for or against something, that is a point for another discussion.) As far as announcing the whole Dumbledore thing...think about it. That would definitely have effected the way fans viewed the character. Not saying everyone would judge him for the worst, but it would still be something for people to focus on. An unimportant factor of the character at least. It would have brought up unnecessicary controversy. The character is supposed to be a decent man, ya know? I can hear certain arguments now. "He's a good guy...but he's gay." Or "Yeah, he's a good guy and he's gay..." I can see people using the homosexuality either as something the cripples him, or using it in some way to assert gay pride and such. Since homosexuality is such a big deal lately in certain places, some of which her books are extremely popular, she didn't want that taking away from her book and Dumbledore's character. **shrugs** |

| Hmmmm....I nearly forgotten why I fell in love with this place. People to identify with and such. Teehee. Just about everything said so far struck me as a sort of similarity. <3 I dunno about anyone else, but no matter how bad things get, I always felt that feeling alone was the worst of it.
Anywho...might as well get the emo stuff out of the way first. Most of it is behind me, but essential to why I'm feeling so awesome now.
Injuries that I've sustained since I was a little kid have been creeping up on me as well. Keeping my blood sugar in check has become nearly impossible as well. My health insurance doesn't kick in until January though, so the only thing I can do right now is do my best to take care of myself. I can't afford to really do anything without insurance anyways. Plus, I need a lot of work on my mouth. The wisdom teeth have got to go, and I need quite a few root canals. I officially have a hockey player's mouth. Teehee. Family life...taking them one day at a time really. As usual, they're nothing but trouble. Now they're pressuring me to join the FBI. **sigh** Clearly I'm not cut out for the military, but my family is loaded with military personel and government workers, so they're getting on me about the FBI. **shrugs** School blows. I hate community college. Well, the one I go to at least. I actually like the idea of community colleges. I'm just one person having a bad experience with it, so I'm not writing it off as a bad institution all together. I just personally don't like it. I'm a business major now, not a film major, and I HATE it. My heart isn't into school anymore. But after spending a year as a film major and getting my ass kicked...it's all connections really. Either you know people, have money, or preferably have both...and I have neither. However, one scapegoat I've found...the film industry is a business. Not many people tackle it that way. From what I've seen, and the majority of the things closest to me that I have access to...they see it as an art. While it is, the business outlook is overlooked, so I wanted to have an edge that not many people did. Something to set me apart when I go for the internships and jobs and such. I have proven my artistic capabilities, and with that ticket alone, I will basically be told to take a number and get in line. But if I have an expertise in something different, well...there's more of a shot. That's pretty much it though. Things are REALLY improving. Work is getting stressful with the holidays and whatnot, but I just got a promotion AND a payraise and I'm still going to get the other pay raise that everyone gets every few months. So the stress and hard work is paying off. Family...while there's a lot of shit as usual...I've finally learned how to do something. It took me my entire life up until now to get a good handle on how to do this. I have learned how to tune them all out. They're my family though. They love me and I love them, so I don't abandon them either. I've just learned how to tune them out, take one thing at a time with them. I've been a better help to them than ever too. Before they would take me down with them and their troubles, and in turn, that upset them as well. But now I'm a much more solid person to lean on since I've finally learned how to cater to the things that happen. The family is growing exponentially as well. Teehee. My younger sister got engaged. She had her baby back in March, but they finally decided to get engaged, and her fiance and I are pretty close. I've known him for a few years now and we both can honestly refer to each other as brother and sister and smile about it. So yay, brother-in-law number 4 for me. Teehee. It's just odd that my little sister is giving me a big brother. XD It's nice though. Vin, the bestest big brother anyone can ask for, is 10 years older than me. Timmy is only 3 years older than me, so we're kinda on the same level.
Lesse...school sucks, but I'm actually working things out and becoming quite pleased with the outcome. Oh, and I've allowed myself to enter into a serious relationship. Something I haven't done in a LONG ass time and I must say, I've grown up quite a bit. It's getting easier for me to let someone in and become attached and not be scared of it. But even if things don't work out, ehh. Xeios and I promised each other we'd get married if we weren't married by the time we were 28 (anyone see "My Best Friend's Wedding?" Teehee)
K, s'enough from me. A lot of it is just rambling anyways. Point is, life sucks, but I'm honestly, thoroughly pleased with myself and the things around me. |

| **grins** Just a simple thread about the random little awesome things. The things that just make you feel so incredibly wonderful.
For instance...I haven't felt as good as I do now in a longass time. I had work today and it was utterly insane. My store is a frigging MADHOUSE!! And I wore heels to work...**sigh** I kinda haven't grown since....prolly sometime my freshman year of high school. **Still 5'2** So I've finally grown accustomed to heels. But...they're not good for the workplace.
Anywho, so I get done work, we just closed, and I step outside, and there my boyfriend is. I had no idea he was going to be there. I just assumed I was gonna head home and call it a night. It was so nice though. He waited a half hour for me and with a proposition: dinner. Teh woot! It was so simple. We went to this place like two minutes away from my work. Ordered soup, soda, and just sat there and talked for about 45 minutes. Then he took me home, and I went right upstairs and took a bath. I used these bath bead thingies for the first time. It makes the water all slimy and stuffs, but it smells so good that it's more theraputic than icky. So, I took an insanely hot bath, relaxed, washed my hair and stuffs, then relaxed some more. Now, I'm sitting here, just in a bathrobe, my hair still wrapped up in a towel, slippers, and just typing away.
Point is, a simple, 45 minute meal, and a long warm bath and I'm feeling sooooo great right now! I'm about to go to bed, but I feel like I'm truly winding down. It's hard to explain. There's a difference between just falling asleep, winding down because of fatigue, and just...simply winding down...the latter being the best feeling and resulting in the best sleep. And a decent amount of sleep will mean a good day tomorrow. Even if shit does go downhill, my body will be rested and well prepared for it.
Anyone else have anything to share that makes you just sit back and honestly feel awesome? |

| **nods** Of course there's these "feel good" threads poping up. My "amazing" thread or whatever...whether people to it on purpose or not, if there's no real need, simple things are taken for granted. That bath never would have felt as nice as it did last night if I didn't need it.
It's just a personal step I take to either make myself feel better, or to continue feeling better once something has made me happy. Sharing the good things helps keep things good as much as sharing the things that bother someone, in my personal opinion. It's like Rogue said. It's a normal stage. I mean, shit...you and I could exchange phone numbers even and talk more, since both scheduels don't allow us to be on AIM all the time anymore. (God I miss those days...) **shrugs** Who knows. It might help you to feel better knowing that someone several hundred miles away is going through the same thing you are. Not was going through it. Not will be going through it. IS going through it. Afterall, we can't have Rogue's advice go to waste with ya thinking that what she says might not be true for your case.
It'll all be okay. I mean, I still feel hopeless from time to time....but...**shrugs** I suppose what opened my eyes was the fact that I'm older now and truly understand some of the mistakes my family members before me have made, and I see how lucky I really am...as sick to my stomach as I feel about my life and future, I am comforted by understanding that I also have the world by the balls at the moment. There's nothing holding me back. No other lives that I have brought into this world, just me and a family that has my back when I REALLY need it.
**shrugs** It's like Rogue said...personal examples helps one illustrate things. But seriously. Just breathe. It'll be okay. |

Originally posted by XeoLVII Same here actually. I had to change majors (A decision I still cry myself to sleep over...my heart is in film. Still going for it, I just need to take a different approach...I'm just impatient and still feeling shitty about being a business major at the moment) but technically I'm still a college freshman. I only took on 4 classes, couldn't afford more than that really...but now I'm down to 2. I had to drop the others, and my GPA has dropped significantly. Perfect GPA through most of high school, and if not perfect, then almost perfect. Perfect GPA last year of school...now a 2.something... **huggles** I just keep telling myself that it'll be okay. Perhaps the first step for you is getting yourself out of the rut mentally. I dunno how it is for anyone else, but as long as I FEEL okay, I can make things okay no matter how bad they are.

| I have a question...seeing as you've used the name Syaoran...I'm guessing she's of Li's lineage? May my character be of Toya's lineage? And how far away from Sakura and friends are we? Just wondering so my character can make sense with the timeline. | |||

| Nah, Syaroan was correct. :p
And woot! Teehee, I am definitely guilty of crushing on Toya (or Tori in America) when I was like 10. Haha. Thanks! |

Originally posted by Danny Phantom Teehee. That's the point of the thread. There's plenty of "How are you doing?" and "Things are awesome" threads. :p I don't mean "amazing things" as in how things are going. I mean just those simple things that are just awesome. Like your most refreshing shower.
Stuff like doing something on some sort of regular basis is nice too. Like Insectduel mentioned about meeting to play a game every Saturday. Since college kicked off, and most of my friends are going to school AND working, things are put off for the summer. Like last summer, Tuesday nights was a movie night with some of my friends. Dunno what this summer will be. Those are the best too though. Just being able to set aside time to do things. |

| Name: Nina DiSanto
Age: 16 Nationality: Italian-American Power: Manipulation over water Background: With the exception of her oldest brother, Nina and her two brothers were the first of their family to be born and raised in the United States. Nina and her family have blended in American society well, but without losing their cultural identity. With the exception of the cultural hurtles as a small child, Nina has lived a fairly normal life. She blended in with her classmates, became involved in school, and if it weren't for her brothers, getting boys to notice her was never an issue either. However, something odd was evident about the girl when she nearly drowned as a small child. Unfortunately, Nina has no recollection of the event, and the only bystander was her oldest brother, who has not said a word to anyone about the event...until now... (Edited, cuz I luv Clash oh so much. <3) (Last edited by Katana on 11-18-07 12:10 AM) |

| Name: Nadeshiko Sakura Kinomoto (Sakura is her middle name, a simple gesture of affection from her ancestor to someone he cared about deeply.)
Age:15 Weight: about 120lbs Hair: Cascades to her hips in thick black waves. Eyes: Dark brown Clothes: If not in her school uniform, Nadeshiko is often seen in comfortable, lazy clothes. Clow Wand: Blue Wand Powers: Nadeshiko exhibits extra sensory abilities. History: Nadeshiko is named after both her great-great grandmother, Nadeshiko, and her great grandfather's sister, Sakura. Nadeshiko's mother simply named her after these people because they were very dear to Touya Kinomoto, Nadeshiko's great-grandfather, the man who raised Nadeshiko's mother, Ren Kinomoto. With the exception of carrying on names, and few genetic traits (She looks just like Nadeshiko Kinomoto with some of Touya's traits as well) she was kept in the dark about her relation to Sakura and Sakura's connection with Clow Ri. When the blue wand was thrusted into her posession, Nadeshiko did not feel any extraordinary connection with it. As a result of little understanding of the Clow Cards and a magical instrument that holds almost no meaning to her, Nadeshiko could not help but feel obliged to search for the true owner. Other notes: Her sensroy abilities have grown since she was a child. What began as simply something she could feel and no one else could, is expanding into a line of communication between the seen and unseen. (Basically like Touya from the original story.) If there's any issues, let me know. Sakura's mother and brother were my favorite characters is all, so I wanted to incorporate something about them. **shrugs**

Originally posted by Nagis I'd like to see that supported please. I don't mean that as an attack. I sincerely just want an explanation, because weight gain/loss is something that has interested me. I'm not gonna lie. I'm a thin girl. I'm 5'2, and I can stretch between 105-115 lbs, and I'm only at my "worst" when I'm ragging it. :p Well...I weigh more the few days before I get it and in the begining. **shrugs** My exercise consists of my daily activities, (Ie: going to school and work) and my eating habits aren't the healthiest...I consume a lot more sugar than I should. I live off of Mountain Dew and Snapple, and if it weren't for the fact that my boyfriend's mom was such a wonderful cook, my diet would contain fastfood and Dunkin Donuts, with the occasional Wawa coffee (West coast people prolly won't know Wawa...it's kinda like a convenience store.) However, I drink a lot of water and also eat a lot of salad (more like cheese with some leaves to decorate it, but it still constitutes as a salad!) and that must have SOMETHING to do with flushing out my system. I am also a slow eater. Not on purpose either. Just naturally slow. And I can't eat much in one sitting. I eat small meals throughout the day. So I imagine both eating slow and eating little at a time help with the digestive system. Or who knows. I could have an awesome metabolism that will someday fail me. **shrugs** I do believe the article has some sense to it though. It just doesn't apply to me as much as other approaches to health would. That's why I think people kinda write off things like that. Sometimes the source of information doesn't specify that they mean a specific situation, not that their findings apply to every type of situation. And other times people themselves don't take into account that it's one particular scenario. **shrugs** |
