Welcome Greg, nice of you to come back ^^ Feel free to post around a bit, get to know people, and every now and then, check out tinychat.com/maiotaku since there's usually quite a bit of people in there later in the days

Well the age gap doesn't really matter as long as it's of legal age or consensual from the parents. Like having a 25 year old with a 15yo. However, that's just from a lot of parent's point of views. I on the other hand, think love is love, regardless of age, gender, race, species, object, whatever. Because: 1. it's none of my business who you like, unless it's me that you like 2. it's natural for people to love, taking that away is like trying to take away fish ability to breath underwater. You can try, but it won't happen. 3. As long as you're responsible, or even irresponsible, it's you're decision

Kigurumi "disguise pajamas". You can even buy one in Japan. If the weather is cool enough, just toss one on. If you do decide to do a kigurumi, make sure to accessorize with maybe a fun colorful bag, necklace, bracelets etc.

Miss, どのくらい日本語を勉強してきた？

I love Visual Kei! Though some of the bands I really like are disbanded now, like Para:Noir. I like all sorts but my main favourites right now are An Cafe and Canzel~

A "search forum/thread" thing An HTML code helper Not deleting your entire post because you thought the capcha was an F and not an E give a "reply" or "quote" button, which would be nice custom background (even if it's just solid colors) since white bothers my eyes.

well i was in my back yard today and i saw a squirrel in my garden so i grabbed my pellet gun and i ran at it, it ran up tree and stopped on a branch around 10 feet from me i shot at it and hit its leg it squealed and fell and i ran at it and it kept circling the tree when i, went near it i shot it again it didnt die it got across fence and i hopped the fence but then it went back over again. well it climbed back onto the tree and i shot it in the head when i circled around my gate to get to it i noticed it wasnt dead i shot it just below the eye and blood was poring out if it and i shot him again in head at point blank range and it still was alive finally i ran out of bullets i ran inside and grabbed more when i got back to it i noticed it was still alive i shot it in back of neck and ended it. normally i wouldnt care i killed a squirrel but seeing it suffer like that with blood pooring out if his face where i shot him made me have a breakdown and cry i burried him and i swore i wouldnt kill till i got a gun to kill instantly. you see i live in a city so i cant shoot my shotguns or rifles so i had to use the 177 air rifle. anyways i had to get this off my chest cause the thought of the squirrel is eating me alive and im depressed now if youd like whoever reads this ill post of pic of it .

Attraction is important and I think you can drop hints as soon as you're aware you're interested in getting to know the other person that way. You don't have to outright ask for a date, but leave a flirty comment or message and see if they flirt back in turn. Flirty is the inbetween being friendly and forward. It's trying to find that playful banter that is dancing on the edge of sexy for both parties. It's when the flirting flies WAY OVER their head that you might want to consider a direct approach. Or when the other person is just flirty in nature and once a boundary has been crossed they say 'stop and keep it at friendly' that you accept you had fun while it lasted and move on.

OH, lol. I'm usually serious when I need to be, regardless of all my "lols" and "^^" especially when people want advice or need someone to talk to ^^

On a different topic, I've had a few female friends join or want to join the military. Now I'm not saying it can't be a good experience or that there aren't good people but (depending on the branch and situation) it's not the best situation for a girl to be in as the likelihood for rape and sexual discrimination is very high in certain situations. So I'm always surprised at girls wanting to join. I even have male friends suffering from post-traumatic stress and are alcoholics. I wouldn't join if they paid 10 times as much as they do. I'm not saying I don't respect military personnel, but I think the government is a bunch of hypocritical self-serving, greedy, power hungry a-holes who (except for a few) care more about money and power and getting re-elected than people. Sorry for the rant. But Yeah, I'm surprised how much people change over time. It's sad sometimes.
