I'm spreading this clip, good work guys.
I really like OCremix.org, there are some really good artists that contribute there. I also really like Chrono Trigger, it's probably the best linear RPG.
The original song is about two girls singing to each other romantically, but this cover intrigued me as it has moments of gender bending into two boys singing romantically to each other. I don't know about you, but I think it's really cute on al...
You forgot to list the dishes! :P I like your list, there's a lot of realistic stuff there, so I think you can meet all of it when you put your mind to it.

- About Me:
- I honestly could have sworn I joined up when they announced this site, but I guess they had no record of my email after all? ^^;
I am a martial artist and general student of life, there is nothing that I would find boring or dull to learn, so I'm constantly learning. I've been fascinated with languages ever since I was dropped into environments where nobody spoke the same language as anyone else, so I figure if I learn ever language out there, I wouldn't be as lost again.
- Favorite music:
- Oingo boingo! I enjoy various synthesizers and independent artists. The Magnetic Fields is among my top favorites, as are many of Stephen Merritt's bands. Then I've also got strong likings for: The Cure, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, The Psychedelic Furs, Love Spit Love, Erasure, Daft Punk, Nightwish, various 8bit artists like nullsleep. I won't say that I like a little bit of everything, because that's the worst cop out answer ever, and nobody can possibly like "all kinds of music," Unless they do in fact enjoy Christian AND hate music at the same time. :P Neither of which I like at all...
- Favorite movies:
- I like good movies, not crappy movies. Logan's Run is a good movie. Will Ferrell movies are not...
- Favorite books:
- Anthropology and language texts. Guns, Germs and Steel was good. Frankenstein is a favorite. John Steakley books are pretty freaking sweet (especially Armor). Vampirre Hunter D... I do read lots of manga and comics, but I don't believe you should hold that against anybody... <.< Can't rightly conjure what else I enjoyed reading at the moment, because they're all packed away in boxes still.
- Goals/Projects/Aspirations:
- Oh... There is a section for that... /copy-paste. ^^; I'd just put it in the "About me" section before.
I enjoy teaching, my greatest aspiration is to teach the martial arts and carry on the mindsets and philosophies associated with them. I also aim to bring an end to unhealthy stereotypes in various subcultures, such as the 'fat smelly otaku' that people envision anime nerds to be (because I honestly see too many of them). My other goals are mostly to carry on knowledge and give young people something constructive to do. I'm nowhere near completing any of these goals, but I'm still training myself to make it there. ^^;
- Relationship Status:
- In a Relationship

Tyler said… - Yeah my big brother was actually in the army too. He advanced really quick and I think I'm ready for it when it comes. But who knows you know, maybe it's just my calling to get in really good shape. He got out of the army and all we do is train together. It's hard to say either way, but getting is the best health I could ever be in definetly feels good. it's nice to have a goal you know? Funny thing I was in OP today to get a check for my other older brother!
Nice to meet you Optimus!

Who's up for some gaming?
I just got my DS lite working with my wifi again (took some tooling around and an adapter that I have to jiggle every now and then), so I suppose I should use this as an opportunity to socialize with my fellow ipower rangers. What? Games are totally social, especially when you play with other people! I haven't got many games, so I'm just going to lay them all out and you can add me when you leave your friend code in the comments. I'll try to get on when you guys call me out, but generally I expe… Continue

I have a hole in my tooth.
I just noticed it a few days ago, but it's there. I don't have the money to get it filled, so I spoke to my mother about my options, and she basically said I'm SOL. I haven't been able to find a job, let alone one that offers dental, so I feel just a bit panicky about it. My mom continued to lecture me about brushing my teeth, something I'm intimately acquainted with at least a couple times a day, and seems to think that my having a cavity is my fault entirely.
The point of this anecdote is an… Continue

Woot woot in da boot?
I made a lot of progress with my "bubble" these past three days. Monday was the most rough, because I had to meet my friend somewhere, and since she had never been to Kansas City before, they kept getting lost. ^^; I had to direct them around toward my school, and then wait for them to walk toward me--which made me very nervous because I saw them coming like 60 meters away and had to watch them cover the distance while I fumbled for what I was going to say. Social settings always flow naturally… Continue

Panic Attack!
I have rather high anxiety, but it doesn't affect my daily life when I follow simple guidelines that I exist under. Tomorrow, I get to meet a very important person who has been my friend for several years online. I am shitting rice cookers right now because I don't even deal well with meeting my every day friends. ^^; I'm not entirely introverted, but I do have anxiety that occurs throughout every activity with some degree of severity. Usually, it's small and ignorable. Right now, it is giving m… Continue

Unhappy tidings from me.
A whole lot of nothing fun happened yesterday. There's too much to process at the moment, but it involved me standing outside of my home for hours, unable to leave or go inside. =_= It sucked, because it was all humid and started to sprinkle. Thank goodness it didn't rain. >.<" Anyway, that's what I can say about it right now. Stupid thing made me miss class, and we were sparring today too! :( Also hampered my ability to walk up to a nearby pet store to fill out a job application, because… Continue

Gum or candy?
It's already obvious, just look at all the polution and ugly shit that we create because we want to either make money or not waste as much as possible,

Don't sleep for 48 hours and then go to sleep, (I haven't had insomnia but I think this might work)
Sometimes I have a really dirty mind.
They actually do this in some country to punish people, (that's a fact)
Belief in a proposition such as god is not based on its usefulness. Usefulness is not a basis for belief. The only basis for belief is whether or not one perceives that belief to accurately describe a state of reality. One cannot literally believe...
agreed!
This is another example of the destruction of language, and how difficult it makes discussion. Having concrete and universal definitions of words is essential to forward moving debate.
Here the word religion has been expanded to the point of utte...
