Really? Okay then, that settles it, I'm definitely going to do that lol. 142 per day? Pff that's easy to memorize, who knew it was actually SUCH an easy language to learn! lol. It wasn't too bad this time lol. Had to imput it and then work it around to get the kanji to show up (first thought it was creole or something) and then it came out "Let's become the English teacher of animation Kid!" So not too bad I think haha. Dang....that's a lot for a person to need. I think it would be awesome to go shadow hopping there haha. Sadly I might not due to a slightly irrational fear of losing my passport or being detained there for being a Christian(don't think that's actually Japan that does that though...) or for some unknown/most likely bogus reason lol ^ ^; I think that's because...YOU JUST FIGURED OUT THE FIRST CHARACTER OF OUR ANIME!!!!! XD Really? Okay then, that settles it, I'm definitely going to do that lol. 142 per day? Pff that's easy to memorize, who knew it was actually SUCH an easy language to learn! lol.

XD Well I finished volume 11 and I started to "start" on 12 but then I decided to go straight to the "problem episode" at the end of the disc and lo-and-behold.....it wouldn't play it T_T it was around 11:30pm at that point and I went right to the online Right Stuf website to request for a replacement. I finally received an email yesterday from them asking something about the disc, I wasn't sure because part of it wasn't worded very well but it sounds like I "might" get a replacement mailed back to me without my having to ship back the disc currently in my possession. I hope that's the case and that the next one will work perfectly fine ^_^ Oh so its only your 2nd con? Wow, I hope your enjoy it to the fullest ^^ I bet you feel like you just come alive/feel reborn when your there. I understand, try not too worry to much though, the nerves start to go away after awhile. Especially once you start to lose yourself in the con. Oh some people from previous con you mean? Volunteering for the con is always a nice thing to do for a con. I know the con workers appreciate all the help they can get. It can get to be a pretty ungrateful job at times so it's always nice to know that there are those who volunteer and who appreciate all that goes into it. He's my younger brother by 3 years, I actually have a picture of us both together up on my profile if you want to take a look. I think its the only picture I have of two people together so it should be easy to find. Yeah elite four after the gyms. I have 3 badges so far so getting better but still pretty bad xp YES! TEME SONG TIME! We must figure out how to do it and how it should go lol. I don't know if he's my favorite but he's definitely one of my favorite and yep volume one with the HE voices. I say that because I've seen them on the guest list of cons in the NW area like Seattle a few times but never around these parts of the country and Hilary Hagg doesn't seem to attend cons anymore choosing to spend more time with her family now (totally understandable). But who knows? One of my if not my favorite voice actresses, Stephanie Sheh, JUST APPEARED on AWA's guest list and she was one I never thought would come down here!!! So who knows? ^_^ Indeed, always colleting the anime, manga, and games XD Say, I notice a few words every now and then that I always remember when seeing subs. Sora and nani and another one I can't recall right now. One I see fairy often is "desu" or "desu-ka" what do those generally mean? Oh yeah the other two were hi and ei or eh or however that's written. Hmm, are there any kinds/genres of anime in particular you might feel interested in right now? And thanks. I haven’t read the manga of Gunslinger Girls but I….well I guess I can imagine the manga being darker but I guess I don’t want to imagine HOW it’s darker than the anime since there were some pretty sad/dark moments in the anime anyway. I have seen the second season…I don’t remember much of it but I did like it. Lol funny pun though even if not intended. Hm very true, you could almost equate it to watching a reality tv show then. I have seen some of Azumanga Daioh but I haven’t seen much, whatever anime network allowed me to a few years ago but I really did enjoy what I got to see of it. How long is the series? Hmm that other show Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun looks interesting too. Almost looks like it could end up as a reverse harem. Oh I meant success with my “sensitive anime that would get points with girls” studies that wasn’t having much success haha. I’ve actually made more progress with my Bio Mechanics (Eureka Seven AO) class and it’s become very interesting ever since my 13th class and I only have about 6 more classes left before I complete that course. I can understand though I love sexual comedy (I think it’s because of the huge rise you get out of people because of it….pun unintended lol) though depending on what it is I have my limits too. There’s a point to where it stops being a sexual anime and starts becoming hentai and those are watched for two DIFFERENT purposes. I’m not much for gory anime’s myself either, there are a few exceptions but those are few and far between. I’ve actually been pretty lucky feeling safe just about everywhere I’ve lived, surprisingly I guess. Really? I seriously would have thought you would have remembered that! I guess it just wasn’t that big of a deal for you lol. I figured but it was just to fun to pass up on haha…..wait…..I hope it’s been a good long time since you’ve been with a 14 year old girl…..because your maiotaku says your 21 and…well…the law is the law man lol XD joking. Really? That’s cool. Are they still going strong? They do, not to many that I’m aware of though. Only one I can think of right now is Ponyo and that had Mily Cyrus’s little sister voicing Ponyo but they did have Betty White voice a small role in the same movie so that was pretty neat. Lol a good quote for the subject no? I actually don’t have Steam myself but if I did I probably would get Clannad. Yeah they just might and I’ll be ready when and if they do. We certainly seem to be! I certainly did, plenty of homemade food to go around for a few days, surrounded by friends and family. Put up the Christmas tree as well as other Christmas decorations, watched a Christmas movie with the family and even went out Black Friday shopping. How was your Thanksgiving?

Well i prefer anime with lots of action but i have some exceptions (my faves: ouran high school host club & fruits basket). And i love reading (or used to, seems like university really killed it for me cause now im too lazy to read.. Shame shame i know lol). Anyways i love reading cause i get to imagine things my way (my heads always in the clouds lol) so manga is kinda similar? I read at my own pace, play the storyline in my head.. Add stuff (is this making any sense..?), its just very enjoyable i guess ^_^ Hahaha yep definitely grooving! i havent worked much, actually ive only done tutoring before! :D im not rich but i was definitely spoiled..lol my dad would b all like "just concentrate on school" so i did..? Oooh that would b awesome! Good luck! :D And yeah thrift stores => 35cents manga.... Very rare though but hey if u visit often enough u find good stuff. Half Price books is in Highland Park, not too far from the city ;) yep ur right about kinokuniya ;D

Um i like mecha :D really liked eureka seven and gundam seed :D and im pretty sure i used to watch some gundam anime when i was younger but i cant remember the names... (Random remembered bits: big o, wings.. Goddess something or other...)Yeah used to b a fan, then i got into the mainstream stuff like naruto, dragon ball z, bleach etc.. Hehe u got any recommendations? :) Actually i meant that i generally prefer reading manga over watching anime ;) Oh thnx! :D My plans were to continue with grad school & eventually b a high school councelor... But i dont feel like going back to school, atleast not right now lol or ever..? Maybe hehe i like my current job cause i have a lot of freedom.. Like in teaching style... And i get to use songs and dances to get the little ones to remember and learn stuff! I mean of course its pretty stressful at times and stuff but every career will have its difficult/stressful moments right? Oh and of course the kids r just too cute!! (When not being naughty..). So what about u? What else would u like to do? Awesome! Its so exciting when u randomly find stuff like that isnt it? I actually got some good manga in thrift stores. Super cheap! But does not happen often :( here in chicago u could go to bookstores like Barnes & nobles and just read the manga there lol or downtown theres this huge library.. But if u want to buy.. I recommend going to the suburbs lol Theres a store called Half Price books that tends to have super awesome deals on manga and anime Lol of course if u dont mind spending lots o money theres also this neat place called kinokuniya bookstore ;)

Really? Darn no wonder I haven't been able to find you all this time lol. Me? I'm afraid I've probably been down the rabbit hole a few too many times with anime and video games only to resurface to jump from shadow to shadow to arrive at cons....and then randomly jump out in the open to yell I FOUND WALDO! lol XD It really is quite a few lol. More than one would think. Really? I'll have to try and remember than. Naw only 1000+ Kanji to remember pfff who couldn't do that by the end of the week? Haha. Just google translated "Animekiddo no Eigo Kyoushi ni Narimashou" haha cool. So they're having immigration law issues over there too? That's a pretty cool thing to shoot for, sorry that it didn't work out. I think it was mostly just anime stuff. I just had a thought.....combine my voice and yours.....becoming READNECK GOLEM!!!!! Boy....that would be a game changer....and I'm not sure one for the better haha. That would be cool, we could even MAKE the characters so our voices would FIT them since we both don't have very much of a workable vocal range it seems. There were 4 episodes on volume 11 which I have now gone through, Yay!, and there are also 4 on volume 12. 11 was good without any problems and hopefully it will be the same for 12. Cool, hope you have a great time. I can't wait for next year for my cons to come around again. Street team? What are you going to do? What was the name of the other con you went to? Guess that's true. My brother is really waiting on me to catch up too him thought haha. He just has so much more time to play it than I do though, at least I think he does. I believe its just the 8 gyms yes. YES! Sleep on a futon to liken my life further to that of an anime show! XD That might be true haha. Episode 1 of Animekid's anime! "The birth of a collection". Indeed he was, I got him to sign my volume 1 of D.N.Angel with Dark on the cover. I'd love to get each voice actor to sign the character on the volume covers but sadly I don't think Luci Christian, Monica Rial, nor Hilary Hagg would ever come down to GA :( Wow that's a pretty good deal, $30. There are plenty of good series in those genres. Cool, aside from the messed up morals of that series (when you really think about it) that's a pretty good series. I really enjoyed hearing Ode To Joy in that one episode (won't mention which episode just in case you have yet to actually watch it). There a few good Slice of Life shows though I haven't seen too many I believe. Rumbling Hearts wasn't too bad (was heavy drama too) but I will admit that it took me about the first 6ish episodes to start enjoying it. Glad you've been having good luck with your studies there, me not so much lol XP That's pretty interesting isn't it? But in some ways that makes it that much easier to connect with them isn't it? Wait you don't remember the last time you were a 14 yr old girl? lol. I would think the change was something you would remember haha. Okay I'll keep that in mind thanks. You were in a band? ......Wait....you haven't seen any of their films........I'm sorry this conversation is over......(turns around to walk away) jk haha. That's fine. There are plenty of things I haven't seen before as well. I enjoy them and I think they're a great way to get younger people into anime and sometimes older people as well. A good "gateway anime" if you will. For some reason it kind of bothers me though that in some of them they have Disney people voicing some of the characters >.> I have no good reason to be bothered by that but still I kind of do ^ ^; No Big Dango family? That really would be tragic! No I didn't, that's really cool! It's kind of 6 of 1, 1/2 a dozen of another really. I wouldn't mind seeing it but I don't care enough to go out and pay for it ya know?

I have no idea... I was REALLY curious too.. Looked like some mecha...? He was so into it... *sigh* yep no idea! :P Anyways i was just watching some episodes now, stopping at episode 3, till tomorrow! Or today.. Later today..... Lol yeah i like manga better than anime, but i guess ill watch this 1st? Its cute and i LOVE the op & ed songs!!! :D oh i have an old pic of that shirt.. I can put that up.. And im a prek teacher! (Not at all in my plans but i needed a job after graduating, that one payed decent, & i might stay... Maybe... Im very indecicive..) What about u :) Tennessee huh? Cool! If i ever go ill let u know :)

Wow, fairly same personality, same buying for self/others quirks, both came back from our grandparents lol BROTHER! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THESE MANY YEARS!? XD lol I'm just terrible with reading phonetics, even with English and that's my language! lol. I know, I've heard/read that sometimes they continue to learn their alphabet even into highshool or college. Cool, thanks, I might just take you up on that. Wow your self taught? That's pretty impressive. I'm not sure myself, just little bits and pieces that I've seen in the news here and there about piracy laws becoming stricter and better inforced. Sadly I've tried playing with my voice and listening to a recording of it and it all sounds pretty much the same. I only seem to have 3 different variations, my regular voice, a sorta crappy old man, and a golem-like voice/and/or a guttural like voice but that could be difficult to understand for others some times. So 3 to 4ish voices but none of them really could I imagine much with any character I've seen yet. I haven't talked to one about it myself though I've heard a few things about voice acting career prep and such from other people asking a few times. By the way, Vic who voices Edward Elric from FMA is an amazingly nice and friendly person. Well that's good at least. Yeah I'm doing quite well actually. I haven't gotten to checking them yet. Can be hard trying to balance checking them/keeping up with anime, playing Omega Ruby, and keeping up with online stuff. But I did just finish watching the episodes on volume 10 last night so I'll look at the extra's which aren't much and then I can move on to 11. I hope so, I'm just going to hope that it's all a-ok. That would be good, which convention is it that your going too? Sadly because of everything going on I've just arrived at the first gym yesterday so I'm not very far at all but I'm liking what I've seen so far. Dang is it that time already!? I'm starting to run out of furniture to sell! lol Yours was pretty good, especially how you went over each anime and manga volume. Hm well probably my first acquisition overall was volume 1 of Yugioh (older manga series version) that my parents bought for me when I was around 12. My first dvd and first personal purchase I believe was D.N.Angel volume 1. How about you? They might be, I guess I was just thinking more towards shoujo-ish because they were anime's centered more around girls and everyday life issues/personal issues rather than thriller,action,comedy etc. Clannad for example and Air too I believe...I think. Lol have you had any luck with your studies yet? For all the romantic anime I've watched I feel I've yet to meet a girl who would appreciate that (as a guy) I watched and enjoyed it lol. Maybe around the 11 to 14 age range? I have some studio ghibli movies so that probably covers the youngest audience. They really got me when Nagisa died after childbirth and whenever that was brought up later on around/with Ushio. Definitely when it seemed that Ushio would die as well and he would be all alone. Yep, not sure yet. I haven't really looked into it that much but I do know that Freiza is in it so I guess right around the beginning maybe.

Oh! Heard of but havent been there.. And yeah any day (usually) you'll c people with funky hair (green, purple, pink, etc) or anime keychains, shirt, bags and stuff. Like a month ago i saw this guy watching anime on his phone on the bus :) haha i started reading the manga a while ago but forgot to continue.. Hm.. Must've gotten distracted.. Lol cool now i have something to do on my commute! Then ill understand your reference ;) hehe and i dont really have anything anime on me.. Keychains, but those r hidden in my bag.. Oh! I have a lovely madoka tshirt but the compliment was from my coworkers and the kids lol i have been complimented on my orangeish highlights though! Maybe ill put a more recent pic up... So where r u from? :)

It's alright I just returned from visiting grandparents two days ago myself. I think it would be really cool to be able to read/speak Japanese but I'm not that great with reading phonetics and such so I would have to find a way to learn auditoraily and not pay a ton of money (like for rosetta stone). I am familiar with a few words/phrases at least though. Pretty cool that you were able to. I'm not entirely sure but maybe because of a possible crackdown/more enforcements on stopping any slightly unauthorized (or unaccredited) showing of dubbed shows. Thus stopping the additions of new ones and causing the removal of current ones. Just a guess on my part though. Hm I'm not sure. Would be awesome (in theory) to be a voice actor. But in reality I know that they don't get paid much and usual have a second job at least occasionally and I don't believe my voice would lend well to many if any characters :( Lol yeah me too (think I already said that but eh lol) Dang 16 hour day that has to be harsh, I hope your feeling better now and that the cold is gone. It's okay if I notice the maracas in the background I'll just start dancing! XD Yep I sure did, even ahead of the expected arrival date ^_^ I still need to have volume 11 and 12 checked soon though because they have been known, mostly 12, to have manufacturing defects so I need to have them checked before my "free replacement" time period is up. Might be hard to do since I just picked up my Omega Ruby this morning. By the way, are you going to get one of the new games? Hm well when I think about it I guess I do love being able to say that a bit XD Only problem will be when I need more room for my anime/manga! haha. Watching your video and how you went through each title kind of makes me feel like mine was a little shoddy lol. If there was anything in my video you wondered about just ask and I'll let you know about it. I was a little surprised at your collection. It seemed like most of it were titles aimed more toward girls not that that's a bad thing at all. I haven't seen most of your collection but most of them are shows that I wouldn't mind seeing, just haven't had much of the chance to see yet. Lol I have one or two things as well that I haven't watched yet but bought because it was the entire series (more or less, might have been first season or something) and it was very cheap lol. I have the idea that I want to have something of just about every genre so I can have a show to "suck" just about anybody into the world of anime lol. I still don't really have a show for young girls yet. Thinking Princess Tutu and Petite Princess Yucie since they're both good though some parts of those shows are for slightly older viewers I think....it's been a little bit since I've seen some of them, mostly Yucie. Oh definitely not as sad as Clannad After Story lol. After Story was the first show to make me cry in about 7ish years lol. Glad it had a happy twist ending ^_^ Not quite yet it seems. At least movie-wise. Seems they just announced that another DBZ movie is on the horizon.

You play by using the balls 1-6 and the 8 ball. Place 1-6 at the edge of each hole and prop the rack (trap) up with the 8 ball (mouse) at the edge of the rack's corner. Then try to get the balls in the holes in order without missing a shot, hitting the 8 ball in rack, or getting two in at once. Once you've got the 6 ball in, hit the 8 ball inside the rack (put the mouse in the trap), then you win. It's harder than it sounds but I hope I did a good job explaining. (^^;)> I went to Cades Cove sometime at the end of August. We don't really share an account. I just like to play sometimes when he's playing. I remember wanting a few things but I ended up buying Tekken 6 for PS3. I'd had it before but my disk got damaged before I could beat it. So I bought it again. What do you look for when you go to McKay's? Ya, I feel like my otakuness has leveled up. ヾ(^ ^ゞ
