i live in england is that close enough?

I was a first, but i'd rather have friends with the same interest as me. Besides not like i'm in a hurry to be in a relationship.

Personally when I was younger I was "too nice" at times, really too nice. So I stopped caring about a few things, modified my fashion style alittle bit, and before you know it I am getting numbers and going out on dates just fine. Be nice but be willing to take control and lead the way. YEh you can be a jerk here and there but show kindness too. Its really hard to balance at first but once you hit it, your good to go. I am not going to give the girl the "Princess Royal Treatment" but I will give her a nice day to hangout.

@stand_alone_complex - Couldn't have said it better myself, real all the way for me. Its better to go out on a date with someone in real life than in some kind of Dating RPG,etc. Yeh you may get shot down, etc. But isn't it the thrill of dating? If things were too easy we be less interested in it right?

this site is pretty good for finding cons in your area http://animecons.com/events/state.shtml/PA002800799

There's no need to test for specific text and parse posts in different ways. Frankly that's a very counter-intuitive way to do things. Just parse everything the same way. Convert some types of newline segments into br elements (and ideally paragraphs too). And then filter it either escaping everything then turning stuff that looks safe back to html or matching stuff that looks like html, checking it's safe, and then escaping every other run of text. You could even use markdown for the pre-filter syntax.

Oooh, you listen to some good stuff definitely, though there are a few I haven't heard yet. I'll be sure to check 'em out :P. Though what's the deal with Nightwish, they change singers often or something? I've only heard a few of their songs and never did the research
