I was wondering how many people knew about Japan's invasion to China during WWII. Japan's history textbooks say that they were "invited" over to China. They leave out all the terrible things the soldiers did. I'm not gonna go into detail, but if you really do want to find out, look it up. It is kinda...intense, though. And, because of China's nice little Communist government, China isn't really saying much about that invasion either. This went on at the same time as the Nazi's Holocaust, and I noticed how very few people know that the Japanese were brutally tourturing and killing the Chinese. And everyone knows at least something about the Holocaust. I don't understand why the Nazi's actions were so heavily focused on, while Japan's went almost completely unnoticed. That just doesn't seem right to me. Comments & response please. :3
There are five ninjas in that room. Can you find them?
A stone that says "SMILE" on it just fell out of seemingly nowhere and hit me in the head. ._. And today was one of the first days that hasn't sucked majorly in a long time. Or maybe I just need to clean my desk area more than once every year or two. xDD But still. A rock saying "SMILE" to me after hitting me is not amusing. =/
For my Halloween costume. xD It took a while, since Photoshop was being a bit screwy, so meh. Original: http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l302/Akachounin/Patch-CSILasVegas.jpg Edit: http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l302/Akachounin/CSIbadgecopy.jpg Reference: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dc/CSI_Nick.png That is seriously all I had to go by. EYE STRAIN! X_x I know it's not really good, but consider I did this at like...11 last night. 8D
Yah...I just found this in my computer. xD I drew it back in...June, when I was supposed to be studying for finals. 8D Took about two and a half hours. Stupid details. I was too lazy to draw Ravage or Laserbeak. Haha. [/fail] And I know I need to start drawing on non-lined paper. *hits self* Close up details: Head Chest Legs EDIT: Side by side with the actual toy - http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l302/Akachounin/P1000524.jpg
I'd just like to share a few things with you guys. :3 I personally don't believe global warming is real. I think it's just a natural flux of global temperatures. Now, before people jump me and try to rip me to shreds, hear me out. Theory: The polar ice caps are melting, and humans are the sole cause of it. Fact: They may be melting. But so are the ice caps on Mars. Which would mean the solar system itself is moving closer to the Sun. Theory: Because the ice caps are melting, polar bears are dying. Fact: Again, since the planets are moving towards the Sun, polar bears are dying out naturally. Meaning that the polar bears' time on Earth is just naturally over, like the dinosaurs and many other now-extinct animals and plants. Theory: Global temperatures are consistently rising. Fact: They're actually not. Granted, there's been a jump because of the Industrial revolution, but after that temperatures mellowed out. Nothing has ever been abnormally high/low. Anyone's welcome to talk about this. Just don't let it get to a flame war. Because that would suck. D=
I just got home from a four hour tennis match. And on top of that, the other team cheated. They called my first serve out even though it was in and the ball went by so fast they couldn't tell. 76 MPH serve, haha... >_> So that got me angry, and I was all mopey the entire hour long bus ride home. Then my mom was late picking me up, even though I called her an hour earlier and we live half and hour away from school. Did I forget to mention it's like...40 degrees outside? WHAT FUN. And I also had about four hours of sleep. I finished reading all the manga I bought yesterday ($90 worth. 8D) at 2 AM, dozed off, woke up at 4 AM, and then again at 5. I was going to turn the TV on to watch InuYasha, but I realized it was Saturday. I decided to get up at 7 after staring at my celing fan. X_x
YAY RANDOM QUESTIONS! *cough* Anyway. In school I'm gonna be a CSI (I've become addicted to CSI. Haha...), and if I have time to make the costume, I'll be running around my neighborhood as Himura Kenshin. -^^- Yes, I still go trick-or-treating at 14. xD Because I live in a townhouse and the houses are close together, I get pillowcases full of candy. =DD
Anyone miss me? xD I'm back! AND NOT GROUNDED! >_> Anyway. I got grounded because I Asian failed my bio tests (I'm in honors even though I've never really taken bio before. O_o;; ) I got a 96 on my most recent test, so I'm ungrounded for now. =DD Anyone care to fill me in on what's been going on?

I want to enter a picture of mine in a photography contest, but I'm not sure which one. I've narrowed it down to these: So...which one? :3
I have Vista installed, and not only did it delete my entire C drive (where most of my fonts and pictures were), but it has been crashing rather randomly. The record is now 10 times in half an hour. And it just crashed three times in five minutes. Although, some features are nice, like the sidebar, window view and whatnot. What do you think? Opinions please. :3
I just went to Wiki to find out a little more about InuYasha (I need another manga series to hold me over till Xmas/midterms. xD), and this is what I find. I mean...WTF. InuYasha page says "OJ Simpson sucks". Some people deserve to be hit with a brick. Or several. =D
Gotta love the courts. xD COURTROOM DRAMA These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, statements people actually said in court, published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. _______________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active? WITNESS: No, I just lie there. _________________________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks. ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, "Where am I, Cathy?" ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you? WITNESS: My name is Susan! _________________ _______________________________ ATTORNEY: Do you know if your daughter has ever been involved in voodoo? WITNESS: We both do. ATTORNEY: Voodoo? WITNESS: We do. ATTORNEY: You do? WITNESS: Yes, voodoo. ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam? ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-one-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: Uh, he's twenty-one. ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken? WITNESS: Are you ****tin' me? ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time? WITNESS: Uh.... I was getting laid! ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: She had three children, right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated? WITNESS: By death. ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated? WITNESS: Now whose death do you suppose terminated it? ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual? WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard. ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female? WITNESS: Guess. ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All my autopsies are performed on dead people. Would you like to rephrase that? ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to? WITNESS: Oral. ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m. ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time? WITNESS: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy on him! ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Huh....are you qualified to ask that question? ________________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
Yeah. I'm having PC issues again with effing Vista. But now is not time to rant on that. Today is a completely different problem. I can't burn a CD. I know how to. It's just not working. It says to "Connect burner then restart the Player". (That is NOT supposed to sound sketchy in any way, shape, or form. Leave it to Vista to say something like that.) The CD is in, I went to "Burn", I put in the song I need to burn, and it says that. This never happened in XP. BUT IT DOES IN VISTA. Anyway. Help....appreciated yet again. ;_;
Guess what woke me up this morning (as in five minutes ago. xD). Take an guess from the thread title. A bird flying into my freaking window. I hate birds. They're really stupid...and annoying.
I have a homework assignment on ethics. I need a list of 20 good things/bad things that you didn't do during a lifetime. And I'm supposed to pretend I'm 80 and about to die. EDIT: As proof that I could go to heaven. Though it's not likely. xD I have one. "I have never killed anyone." Nineteen more. Suggestions?
Kadaj was drinking out of the lake where Aerith died. And then the kids drank the water. And the water was black. It apparently activated the Jenova cells. What exactly is Square trying to tell us by this...?
My personal favorite, Sanosuke. xD Kenshin. Being all scary and whatnot. ^^ Misao! -^^- Made for HisNobody, because I was bored, and we were being random. xD Saito (English VA = Saix. =D). I really wanted to have an image of Shinsengumi Saito with that image, but it became too squished. Maybe I'll do it seperately in the next set. Yahiko amuses me. The way he treats Kaoru makes me laugh. :3 And finally, my second favorite psychopath (the first being Enishi.xD), Shishio. I wanted his to be as dark and impending doom-ish as possible. Annnyway. CnC would be appreciated, even if you have no idea what RuroKen is. ^^ I'd also like some critique on the rendering...which I did most of. Sano and Kenshin are the only ones that I got from Planetrenders.net. The Japanese next to them are their names, just to avoid any questions there. ^^' And please don't use these unless you ask me. :3
HOLY CRAP. I just fell out of my chair again. But this time I landed on my knee, and half reopened my still-healing knee injury. BANDAID, ANYONE? PLEASE?
