I picked Red XIII out of those, but I honestly think we have too many FFVII characters in KH already, and we shouldn't add more without taking a few out. You know who I'd LOVE to see? I want to see some FFIX characters. I want to see Zidane or Freya. Maybe Amarant...Definitely bring Vivi back. :D
My name...José Imanez....I am an astronaut... No, seriously. My name is Adam. Hell, I'll give my full name: Adam D. Bram Look for my writing on http://www.mugglenet.com and on http://www.anchorweb.org. :D
Condoms are extremely effective against STDs, despite what the government's propaganda-like "abstinance-only" sex-ed programs will say. You have to make sure you're safe before you have your fun. And if you've been going out a while and want to graduate to the pill or something like that, you should have appropreate medical testing done twice; get tested once and then again in six months. And even if you're a virgin, you could pick up a disease from something else without knowing it. Granted it's not as likely, but there's still that chance. Also, there are people who are totally into each other who will probably stay together for a long time and don't believe in marriage for whatever reason. They're happy, and they should be respected. If you want to wait, or if you want to jump right out there, either way that's your business. But you should definitely know all the facts (the REAL facts, not the insane religious right-wing's version) before you make your decision, I think.
Kneel before your king! Just one month away people! Oh, and...
Pizza for breakfast? You betcha! Doors! ..............corn
Potrzebie! Veeblefeltzer! Max Korn! It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsey in snide!
"Boy Wonder"?!?!?! I'm all man, lady! He's Lyle, the effeminite heterosexual! Seriously, though, I'm a guy, though I'd like to think I'm in touch with my feminine side.
It's kind of a scary thought as it is now. I wouldn't want to go through the process until there was conclusive proof that I could be re-animated. I had more to say, but the thought of death gives me the heebies and a stomachache...I have to read something else...
The trick is not letting it get to you. The trick is, as hard as it is some times, to say "I don't like feeling this way, so I'm not going to let myself." Do something you enjoy. Like the old saying, "If you go out and pretend to have fun, you might have a little true fun by accident."
Here's a tip I learned from the stratagy guide. If you change into a form and you exit to the world map or enter an area where your party is walking around independantly before the form runs out, the gauge will be completely refilled. *EDIT* Okay, I just posted this and saw that TwilightsOwn just posted the same bit about save points, which I didn't notice. Sorry. However, the "conversation pit" wasn't mentioned, I think, so that's crucial to my hints. Valor Form: Since it levels up by how many times you hit something, it's fairly easy. Port Royal is a great place to level up forms because the Black Pearl is one fo those safe pits that works with the tip above. Simply sail back and forth from dock to dock and make sure to get back to the ship on time. Wisdom Form: Also great in Port Royal because of all the heartless there. I prefer Isla del Muerta out of the three docks, but you have to sail back and forth to get respawning. Master Form: Since it levels up with drive recovery orbs, you need to go somewhere where enemies drop them a lot. Port Royal is okay as you get drive gauge boosts and can venture further inside Isla del Muerta and battle Morning Stars, but the best place to level Master is probably Agrabah, right outside the Peddler's shop, where there are tons of Fat Bandits and Crimson Jazzes that drop huge drive recovery orbs. Final Form: The World that Never Was is great for Final, seeing as the castle is swarming with Nobodies. Start at Proof of Existance and go backwards. Make sure to get back in time, though, even if that means leaving Berserkers alive. Also, when leveling up other forms in Port Royal, make sure the right kind of enemies appear before changing. You might get a chance to add a few more points to Final (and keep yourself from going Anti-form, for which the gauge hint above doesn't work).
"The Origin of Love" by Hedwig and the Angry Inch... When the earth was still flat, And the clouds made of fire, And mountains stretched up to the sky, Sometimes higher, Folks roamed the earth Like big rolling kegs. They had two sets of arms. They had two sets of legs. They had two faces peering Out of one giant head So they could watch all around them As they talked while they read. And they never knew nothing of love. It was before, oh-woah, the origin of love. (Origin of love) The origin of love (Origin of love) Now there was three sexes then, One that looked like two men Glued up back to back, They called the children of the sun. And similar in shape and girth Was the children of the earth. They looked like two girls Rolled up in one. And the children of the moon Was like a fork shoved on a spoon. They was part sun, part earth Part daughter, part son. Ahhh, the origin of love Now the gods grew quite scared Of our strength and defiance And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill them all With my hammer, Like I killed the giants." But Zeus said, "No, You better let me Use my lightening, like scissors, Like I cut the legs off the whales; Dinosaurs into lizards." Then he grabbed up some bolts And he let out a laugh, Said, "I'll split them right down the middle. Gonna cut them right up in half." And then storm clouds gathered above Into great balls of fire And then fire shot down From the sky in bolts Like shining blades of a knife. And it ripped Right through the flesh Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth. And some Indian god Sewed the wound up into a hole, Pulled it round to our belly To remind us of the price we pay. And Osiris and the gods of the Nile Gathered up a big storm To blow a hurricane, To scatter us away, In a flood of wind and rain, And a sea of tidal waves, To wash us all away, And if we don't behave They'll cut us down again And we'll be hoppin' 'round on one foot Looking through one eye. Last time I saw you We just split in two. You was looking at me. I was looking at you. You had a way so familiar, I could not recognize, Cause you had blood on your face; I had blood in my eyes. But I could swear by your expression That the pain down in your soul Was the same as the one down in mine. That's the pain, That cuts a straight line Down through the heart; We called it love. We wrapped our arms around each other, Tried to shove ourselves back together. We was making love, Making love. It was a cold dark evening, Such a long time ago, When by the mighty hand of Jove, It was a sad story How we became Lonely two-legged creatures, It's the story of The origin of love. That's the origin of love. (Oh yeah!) The origin of love The orgin of love (ah-haaa-haha) The orgin of love
1209 That's tomorrow's date. I should have waited. Then again, if I had waited, then it would've been up to like 1300...
Might be "Final Form"? I've got the Final Form figure. It's leg snapped off. I also have Sora, Roxas, and Axel, and I have Valor Form on my Amazon Wish List. I hope they come out with more fogures. We need more. Here's my idea for KHII Play Arts series 2: Riku (with Way to the Dawn keyblade and Oblivion keyblade) Xemnas (with hand-lasers) Wisdom Form (with Ultima Weapon keyblade) Master Form (with Oathkeeper and Bond of Flame keyblades) Boxed set of the remaining 10 members of Organization XIII with their weapons. Two boxes: Box 1: Founders (Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaus, Zexion) Box 2: Neophytes (Saix, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene) Just mine. I wanted to send it to Square, but there's no contact e-mail on the US site.
I would argue that sometimes some people just need a small experience for whatever reason, to put them back on the right path or whatever. I'm encouraging of any and all sexual practices as long as A) It's completely safe with little or no chance of disease, pregnancy (unless you're actively trying for a kid), or major bodily harm, and B) Everything is 100% consensual for both partners, and that nobody is forced to do anything he/she isn't comfortable with. As long as these two rules are followed, I feel it's the business of the couple in question. I know of some relationships where it's completely open. A couple love each other and are together, but also play with other partners from time to time with full knowledge and consent from the other. If that works for them, more power to them. I, personally, could never do that and I'd assume few people here would either. I'd still advise, as I've said earlier, to save the first time for someone you have some sort of connection with who you're almost positive will stick around for at least a little while afterwards. I think the thing is, you can't underestimate the value of sex, but you also need to experience it before marriage so that you don't overestimate the value. It's like the old National Lampoon Radio Hour bit: "Let's say you've never had a steak, but you heard it was really good. What you're saying is that you're going to starve yourself so that when you finally sit down to eat that steak, you'll enjoy it. But here's the pitfall: When you finally sit down to eat that steak, no matter how good it tastes, it's never gonna live up to your expectations." Premarital sex is also a really good way to figure out exactly what you do and do not like in bed. If you wait until you're married and you need something that your partner can't give you, then you're stuck with either a disappointing marriage or a messy divorce. On the flip side, you should also never marry anyone just because the sex is good and for no other reason. To that end, I would advise couples to really talk to each other about what they like and take the time to really explore each other. Most of my relationships have been long distance, and though I've only been able to meet up with one while we were still dating, and not long enough for us to go that far, with each girl when we've gotten comfortable with intimate speak, we always spoke about what we like or what we think we'd like to try. I don't know how it is for anyone else, but what turns me on the most is turning someone else on. I kind of live for the pleasure of the partner, even though I've never had a chance to practice hands-on, as it were. If I may get personal for a moment, I've shared many intimate experiences over the telephone, and I can tell from that alone that intimate situations work the best when both parties are doing their best to make the other person feel incredible. If you keep one-upping each other on the pleasure factor, then even over the phone it's a unique and fulfilling experience. In the end, when it comes to sex of any kind, in or out of marriage, you have to approach it the right way, and part of that is you have to think about sex in a particular way. When you're just starting out, whether it's your first time ever or even just the first time with a enw person, you have to find the fine line between putting sex on a pedistal and not caring about it. Either extreme is bad, and you have to find the happy medium just in case. It also should always be more about how the other person feels, although on the other hand you should always allow yourself to be pampered from time to time (and if your partner doesn't offer, then there's a problem). In the end, do only what you're comfortable with, and only with someone who is equally comfortable with it.
I believe that Oswald wasn't alone, given JFK's exit wound. Oliver Stone painted Oswald almost as a saint who was completely framed. I wouldn't go that far, I think Oswald did shoot and did mean to kill. However, I do think there was a second gunman on that grassy knoll.
Christmas, as we know it, draws from many different practices from many different cultures. It certainly was never originally a Jesus' Birth holiday, as most research puts him closer to a spring birthday. The Christians used Jesus' birth as an excuse to have a winter festival like the Pagans and others. So everything that the Christians "know" about Christmas, and everything the avarage consumer "knows" about Christmas, is way off. Be that as it may, though I myself am Jewish, I love the underlying meaning that we as a culture seem to have given Christmas and the holiday season: Peace on Earth, and Good Will Towards Men. The one time of year where we have to stop thinking about ourselves, and start caring about everyone else. As long as that's in people's hearts, who cares where the traditions started or that there's a lot of commercialization? Not me. Not me.
I would say that a true disorder is something that completely hampers your ability to survive and function. All people have tendancies for disorders, but it becomes a full disorder if it interferes with living a full and happy life. It's a fine line, to be sure, and I think that contributes to the overdiagnosing of disorders like ADD/ADHD.
Art is completely subjective. A crumpled up piece of paper on the floor can be art if that is the artist's true intentions. I personally don't like a lot of those kinds of art, but in the end I do believe it counts as art. What I really do not like are the "artists" who are, in more cases than not, rather pretentious and stuck-up. Some people will get your art, some won't. Some people will like it and some won't. Don't take yourselves too seriously and things will be fine. Do what you like to do, but don't be high and mighty. Because, in the end, anything and everything can be a work of art with the right mind behind it so there's no such thing as "good" or "bad" art except in the view of that particular piece's artist. And though people should and will have their personal preferences, there is nobody's particular work of art that is universally better than anyone else's. At least, that's my theory.
9/11 was a result of the Bush Administration's incompitence at protecting our country, and then they had the audacity to use it to their advantage. I hate when I hear people say "Well, Bush may not be the best president, but he handled 9/11 better than Al Gore whould've." You know what? If Al Gore had been in the White House (which, unless there really was an upsurge of Jews voting for Holocaust-denying Pat Buchanan as Florida counts would have you believe, he should have been), than he would have paid attention to his breifings and 9/11 would probably never have happened. At the very least, we would have been better prepared. I'm sad to say that I've come to a point where I'm sick and tired of hearing about 9/11. It doesn't inspire the awe and sadness in me that it should. Why? Because of the uber-patriotism that followed in its wake that gave that this administration has used as an excuse to take our liberties away and go fight a war that has become a disaster. A war, by the way, with a country that had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks! I know this and similar things have been said many times before by many different people, but I'm not just jumping onto a bandwagon here, this is the truth and it scares me.
I'm taking a social psychology class... There are many different intensities of love, revolving around different levels of Intimacy, Passion, and Commitment. It's possible for love to hit quickly, and it's possible for love to fade. If you feel in love, even if it's just an infatuation, you're not wrong to say you're in love. Love can be just as simple as caring deeply for a close friend. You should never tell a person you love them simply because you think that's what they want to hear, though. You need to truly mean it when you say it, even if it's momentary. And this is not giving jerks something to say dishonestly as an excuse, and if I hear of cases then there's going to be some kicking of butts. I've been in love many times at varying degrees, and I've told many people, 100% truthfully, that I love them. So, again, to sum up, only say it when you mean it but don't doubt that you can mean it fairly rapidly.
