Hmm....let the biased of Testarossa begin. (I was put up to sharing this) I think I will borrow Bottousai's method of explaining things for this little diddy. + I am a nurturing and giving partner in almost every way. It makes me very sensitive to the needs of the one I am with and I do my best to be proactive in my accomodation of those needs. One cannot exist without the other according to Taoism though...so each of my pros will be met with its con. - As a nurturing person, I am not a very good fit for people that are selfish. If they are too self involved or do not really give love and affection in return it is not only taking advantage of one of my positive qualities, but it also generally has no consequence. This causes me to end up in a self destructive (emotionally) pattern of constantly striving to keep up my end of the love, and my end of the responsibility, regardless of how much my partner may be dropping their portion. + I am a very intelligent man. The book learning may not be in my head but I will be able to wrap my head around any concept that is presented to me and give you my opinion or thoughts on whatever is presented to me. Meaning that no matter the subject you will always have your best friend there to give you something to think about should you need it. - The negative to this trait is...I'm not dumb. I do not believe poorly played out excuses and vague answers to questions like "What is wrong?" with "I don't know" do not generally placate me. Some people are content letting this things slide, but my mind always tells me that if the feeling is there it is better to discuss it now, and to put it to rest/fix it before it can be allowed to fester. The other negative of course is if my potential partner doesn't really like conversing about topics that are intellectually stimulating I will end up feeling intellectually lonely. + Despite sporting an average physical appearance I am very confident in who I am and my devotion to my partner is without fault. I provide my partner with someone they can always trust to tell them what I believe is best for them, and they can always rest assured knowing that I am always looking out for what is in their best interest, regardless of the situation. - The negative to a confident partner...especially in my case, is that arrogance can often come up. I am no exception to this rule, and I am a very arrogant man that does not let others get him down. This can be considered a good trait, but pride often breeds blindness to mistakes. So even if I am wrong I may not notice due to my own pride. + Loving. Many people are loving and many people are caring, but we each bring our own unique brand of love to the table. I am not someone that can be sexually interested in an individual without the emotional attachment, it just doesn't work. I also am not a very social or open man unless I am emotionally involved with someone. Everything I share, and everything I express on this site have always been things I would openly express to anyone I am having a deep conversation with in a coffee shop. My love comes with access to my mind, and my mind like anyone elses is unique. The treasure cannot be estimated....and any boasting would not only do it any justice, but it would just sound conceited. - Codependent. I am a believer of codependency in relationships. In the last 20 or so years much of the mainstream social approaches to relationships has been the opposite. I do not believe in brief, whirlwind romances of incredible adventure that go out in a blaze of glory and end. If I am developing a relationship with someone it is with the intention of spending my life with them, and -only- them for the rest of my existence on this plane. I believe that the healthiest relationships are those where two people become a close knit unit that can lean on eachother when they are not strong themselves. I don't believe in tons of "independence" in relationships. That does not make me needy, it just means I believe my life becomes "our" life when I am with someone, and to some degree I expect the same. Personally I do not find this to be a "con" but in respects to current outlooks on it socially I am labelling it thus. + Strong. I am a strong minded and willful person. My desire to accomplish goals, evolve both as a unit and a person, as well as openess to personal growth does not have end. I believe we are always evolving as we live in life and I will always back my partner in their growth. - Old-fashioned morality. This is another I do not see it as a "con" but life very well might. I was raised in the country in Northern California, we were a bit old and back woods about many things and I did not keep those values, but I kept what I believed in. I do not believe many social interactions people have on a day to day basis nowadays to be "proper" not only on a partner standpoint, but just in general. It causes some people to label me as "archaic" others try to label it as "controlling". I do not force my idealisms on anyone, but I will let someone know when I have a problem and if it needs to change. If they choose to ignore my warning, then they find themselves out of my life without further notice. I was raised to treat people how I want to be treated, if something bothers me morally it is your decisions to keep doing whatever you like, and it is my decision to trim you from my life if I do not approve. Overall, I believe I bring a level of wholesomeness and dedication that not all people believe in anymore, it has caused me to be taken advantage of many times in my life, but I have learned that I must remain stalwart in my resolve if I am to find what I want....so I bring my determination to the relationship...and my will does not falter. There I am, a synopsis of me and all that I offer. ~Tessa

Been there and done the long distance relationship thing. (Both with someone who was only ~1-2 hours away in another state and with someone who was to far away to ever see without a plane ticket). I'd honestly say it's totally worth it for someone special, and I don't really regret it. Honestly I don't get the big stigma on trying long distance relationships, people in real life are just as likely to go from "I love you!" to "I'm bored with you now bye!" at the drop of a hat.

Was it that bad??? I read some reviews and saw the ratings and they were bad. Anyone see this one. I thought it was gonna do good.

My name is Matthew and I'm the Founder and Editor-in-Chief for the California Conventions Blog, a blog dedicated to covering anime conventions across California and the West Coast. Some of the conventions I've attended are SacAnime (my hometown con), FanimeCon (my other hometown con), Anime Expo, Anime Los Angeles, Otakon Vegas, Taiyou Con, and others. I also want to expand into video game tournaments as I cover some local events as well as NorCal Regionals. Between myself and a group of other cosplayers and bloggers who share the same passion as I do, we hit the cons reporting from all fronts and telling the stories and experiences from the weekend. With that, ask me anything!

don't feel bad bro iam in the same boat

Does anyone remember or collect the Korean Anime girl stationary sets Lovely White by Orange Story?. I'm really into her and I have a collection of her stuff. I remember hearing rumors that Orange Story went out of business a long time ago which means that they don't make White anymore.But a while back I went to HMart (Korean grocery store/food court) in the Sanrio/cute store,I noticed another Korean company brought back White in paper doll stickers. Since I grew up in an area with a huge Latino population,I remember Lovely White was popular with a lot of the Latino girls.A lot of the Latino girls would carry Lovely White backpacks. I love White a lot along with the other cute Korean Anime girls like Pink Hana,Sporty Shany etc

Anyone on this board like Hello Kitty/Sanrio or cute Korean/Taiwanese characters like Blue Bear,Piyo Piyo etc. I'm huge on Sanrio and Kawaii anime.I have a room with a huge Hello Kitty collection. I'm also into the cute Korean/Taiwanese characters like Piyo Piyo,Blue Bear,Miss Rabbit,Shiro Petto,Bon Bon cats. My most favorite style are the vintage 1980s/early 1990s Sanrio/cute characters.

This is pretty self-explanatory, I would like a convention to be added to the list. Here it is: http://www.mondocon.hu/mondocon-summer-2015/ (the summer con is already over, it's held every 3 months approx). I would like that to be an option in the list, since it could potentially help me and others find people around them. PS. I hope this is the right place to post this.

I'm holding a "MaiOtaku Meet Up" at the convention this year, and for those of you who are interested in joining us, please leave a post on this topic, or the AniRevo 2015 (Vancouver, Canada) topic! If you have any questions, please... feel free to PM me or shoot me a text at (250) 681-4995! Thanks! ^_^ http://animerevolution.ca <- Link to event details.

No? Ok ;_; But really, I would like to know if someone is close by, just in case. Would be nice knowing that I'm not entirely alone here.

Ohhh, i remember them! Was an application of this in Google play for cell or something, where you sexy boys talked for you to go to bed and sleep with them ... (I mean, just sleep, not other stuff :P) In other words... "Hey lil mama, lemme wishper in you ear"
