6. Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime

It's one of mine too. The soundtrack is just awesome.

7. LOVE epic rpg games (Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Xenosaga, etc)

Then you have to visit the Video Games Board more often.

13. I love stand-up comedy

Who doesn't

14. i grew up listening to my dad's music: Eric Clapton, The Who, and Pink Floyd

Me too. My dad used to play Jimmi Hendrix while driving me to school.

16. During my breaks, i volunteer at my local zoo

I hope they dont make you feed the lion.

18. Don't like writing classes because of the structure

So does that mean I wont be seeing that 150 words essay about stand-up comedian?

26. I am a night owl and hate waking up in the morning

Me too, but i prefer the term Batman.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

It's one of mine too. The soundtrack is just awesome.

i listen to it quite alot and with good reason. Mai Yamane and Steve Conte are fantastic. the anime is also used for my current favorite amv. the youtube link is in my sig if you want to watch

Then you have to visit the Video Games Board more often.

i don't have access to my games at college, so i try not to think about it or i'll get sad

Who doesn't

not going to argue that

Me too. My dad used to play Jimmi Hendrix while driving me to school.

my dad is notorious for blasting Pink Floyd during car rides so i'd have "Money" rining in my ears for hours

I hope they dont make you feed the lion.

no i enjoyed (and thankfully worked most in) the bird area most

So does that mean I wont be seeing that 150 words essay about stand-up comedian?

not a chance

Me too, but i prefer the term Batman.

i like that term better, so i'll use that from now on

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

8) I've been practicing Choy Lee Fut for the last 6-7 years (It's a southern Chinese Kung Fu fo those who are unfamiliar)

Wow, that is awesome! That's the first time i heard of it.

13) I take afternoon naps as often as I can

that's what i do too, even at work.

18) I enjoy cooking (and consider myself a decent chef)

Then don't forget to post your favourite Recipe(s) in the Recipes Thread

22) I love American comics. I mainly read those from the DC and DC Vertigo line
23) My favorite super hero is the 3rd Robin, Tim Drake

We also got a place for American Comics fans too.

Cool! We also got a great place to talk about Fables.

1) My real name is Veronica.
41) If I were a crayon, I’d be crimson red with cornflower/cobalt blue specks. (My fav color plus my eye color.)

Hi, Veronica.
Your eyes are crimson red with cornflower/cobalt blue specks? Whoaaa!

 

[Moogle Mango]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Fables.

Hi, Veronica.
Your eyes are crimson red with cornflower/cobalt blue specks? Whoaaa!

I wanna see that too! But I think she is saying that her favorite color is crimson red and her eye colors are cornflower/cobalt blue. Oooh.. that is pretty.

13. I'm participating in the 30 hour famine that's taking place next week

really? for what occasion? 30 hours?! woow!

 

[PaperYomiko]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

21. I'm scared of clowns

Me too!!! They are so creepy.

And Shawshank Redemption is such a great movie... if you haven't already read the original story by Stephen King, you should...it's a bit different, just as good if not better

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

8: My favorite movie is Grave of The Fireflies...

It's one of my favourite too.

9: ...but it was such a horrifying movie that I'll probably never watch it again.

Really? I think it;s very good. I almost cry the 1st time i watched it. Well, i did that too the 2nd and 3rd time.

20: My favorite anime/manga series ever is Hajime no Ippo.

Who's your favorite Ippo character?

22: I'm still unsure of whether or not I should become a doctor.

How come? I think being a doctor is one of those noble job.

23: I'm kind of broke right now.

Me too.

25: I'm thinking of doing reviews for other series besides Bleach--namely Pot and HnI.

We'll be waiting for it.

Well, yeah, it's absolutely amazing--but that's why I can't watch it again. Even for me, the story is too depressing.

Who's your favorite Ippo character?

Takamura, Sendo, and Mashiba are my three favorites. How about you?

How come? I think being a doctor is one of those noble job.

I'm ambivalent about it because it'll take 9-10 years before I can actually practice, and it's gonna be hard as hell. I don't want to jump into it unless I'm absolutely sure I want to do it.

We'll be waiting for it.

Really? Thanks!

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Takamura, Sendo, and Mashiba are my three favorites. How about you?

Ippo and Itagaki.

I hope you'll soon come to a decision about your study. May the force be with you

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Which game managed to escaped from your ebil clutch?

Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which I bought with the system right before I went off to college. There I was introduced to the magic of the LAN.

Good times, good times.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

1. I don't usually bother with forums but MH is a great website so i thought i'd join!

And we're glad that you did.

4. I've got a Joint Honours Degree in Marine Biology/Zoology

Maybe you can talk about Marine Biology with pseudorca. If i'm not mistaken he also got a degree in Marine Biology.

21. I used to own 2 lizards (Eastern Water Dragons)

Dragon? really?

3) I wish I was famous so I could buy my parents a house back home

Famous and rich too, i hope.

4) I taught myself Japanese over the past 6-7 years to the point where I no longer need subbed eps *cheer*

I envy you. I've been watching anime since i was a kid and still can't speak Japanese.

10) I have been in 7 car accidents, none caused by me or that I was driving in
18) I once fell 32 feet off a building on my head ........ that would explain a lot
19) I once sent my hand crashing through a window pain, slicing my wrist 1mm from artery (I tend to get hurt a lot ... a lot a lot!!)

Yup, that's a lot off accident.

13) I am one of 43 grandchildren on my father's side

That's quite a huge family gathering you have.

14) No one can ever EVER say my name, I share it with Buddha

Siddharta?

25) I dream in 3D =P though it scares the bajeezus outta me when I have nightmares!!

But you'll have an awesome dream if you dream about riding a rollercoaster.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

16) I have had an entire keg of beer in the span of 24 hours and did not die or get buzzed/drunk from it (not my crowning achievement)

Wow, how is that even possible?! You're just like Zoro!!! May not be your crowning achievement, but I'd say it's something you can be proud of

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

1. I am a HUGE fan of Martial Arts, both real life as well as fictional.

More later!

Well, then do visit The Martial Arts Thread to talk about it.

well,here`s mine;
4. my fav subject is math,though...sigh...

it's ok to like math. there are lots of members here who likes math too.

9. i hate ghost stories!

really? we got lots of scary and creepy stories here.

11. i`m a shy person,yet talkative

how's that possible? are you only talkative with your friends?

14. i`m a cofffee-addicted(inherited from my dad)

me too. i drink two to three big cups of coffee everyday.

1. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 14.

Why? Fish are food, not friend.

2. I’m about 5’10, so I hardly ever wear heels, because they make me feel awkward and prone to falling on my face. I trip over my own feet enough as it is.

Don't worry, i dont wear heels either.

3. Yup, I’m a girl!

I'm not.

4. My absolute most favorite drink in the world is Guinness

The record book?

5. I once had a very cool Bumblebee Transformer. My older brother had the same Bumblebee Transformer. He broke his. So he took mine, gave me his, and told me the broken one was really mine. Only later did I realize his deception. He’ll tell you a different story, but that’s the truth. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too trusting of people, but I think life is happier that way

I once kicked my cousin for breaking my He-Man action figure's sword. I still kick him now everytime i think of it.

7. The Beatles will always be my favorite band. When I was young and silly I wanted to marry Paul McCartney. Then I realized how old he was. I didn’t have as rude an awakening as my cousin, though - she had wanted to marry John Lennon.

What happened to John Lennon?

8. The songs that always make me happy are Here Comes the Sun and For You Blue, by the Beatles. The song that is probably the most meaningful to me is Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. And I wish the Chili Peppers would write another song as good as Soul to Squeeze, instead of sounding suspiciously like Tom Petty.

And what do you think about Pearl Jam?

10. This was always my jersey number when I played sports in high school. Also, my favorite ice cream flavour is ginger, followed closely by hazelnut gelato.

hazelnut is teh luv <33333333333333

11. In elementary school I had a pet crayfish named Dead. He lived for five years.

His name finally caught up to him, huh?

14. Driving makes me very happy, as long as the transmission is manual

Really? I thought most women prefers automatic transmission. Well, most anyway.

15. Things in full costume, like school mascots, still freak me out a bit. I used to be terrified of anything in costume, including my mom in hair curlers and face masque, but I’ve gotten over that. As long as clowns keep their distance. It’s ironic, though, because I did see all three live-action Ninja Turtles movies the day they opened, and loved them. Disney World really made me nervous, though...

Reading Stephen King's "IT" still gives me the creeps too.

17. If I don’t have insanely strong coffee as soon as I wake up in the morning, I turn into a zombie. And the wonderful folks at my local Starbucks have my drink memorized. (extra-shot grande americano...in case anyone wants to buy me one )

Maybe you are a zombie. Hey bax, we got another one here.

20. I dropped out of college (university) for two years, and wasn’t sure I wanted to finish. But now I’m back, and I’ll probably go to graduate school when I’ve finished my undergraduate.

Good luck on coming back to school. I hope it'll work out great for you.

21. I love Akira Kurosawa films.

Anyone who doesn't must be mad.

I also love Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Have you read 100 Years of Solitude? I love that one.

23. Books are my obsession. I spend a ridiculous amount of money on them every month. I have to remind myself to leave a bit of room in the budget for food, clothes, the cable bill, and other minor things. And I plan on naming any children I may have after my favorite characters.

Me too. I like to buy them but dont really have time to read them.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

really? we got lots of scary and creepy stories

it`s true! actually,it all began when i watched the movie EXORCIST and JU-ON for the 1st time,then starting that fateful night,i had nightmares for a long times .and it really affected my life! since then,i only watch ghost stories if the story was funny or not really scary.i liked the 6th sense,though.i think the storyline is very creative.
btw,my frens won`t ask me to watch ghost stories or tell me any ghost stories either bcoz they know i`ll freaked out!

how's that possible? are you only talkative with your friends?

not really...i can be a talkative person to strangers too.juz,i`m a bit shy when i meet ppl for a 1st time.

me too. i drink two to three big cups of coffee everyday.

according to a medical fact,coffee can prevent heart attack.but,don`t drink it excessively,it can cause insomnia,restlessness and tachycardia.

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Coffee can cause insomnia? I dont know what's wrong with me, but lately, everytime i drink coffee i feel sleepy.
What's tachycardia?

 

[PaperYomiko]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

I dont know what's wrong with me, but lately, everytime i drink coffee i feel sleepy.

If you drink it with a lot of milk or cream, that could be why. Try straight espresso instead

The record book?

Oh no! Please tell me you're kidding! Life is meaningless until you've had a fresh pint of Guinness!

I once kicked my cousin for breaking my He-Man action figure's sword. I still kick him now everytime i think of it.

Understandable. I still punch my brother too. I'm usually against violence, but these kinds of things are difficult to forgive

What happened to John Lennon?

Gah! Now you must be kidding! Well, anyway, he was dead already, which we didn't know when we decided who would marry who. Big shock to my cousin when my mom broke the news. Off topic, but I have to say I find that smiley a bit unnerving for some reason. I don't know why, there's just something creepy about it....

And what do you think about Pearl Jam?

Pearl Jam? I love them, of course! In fact, they were the ones who made me realize there was music beyond the Beatles. REM and Genesis helped with that, too. And Ace of Base. Not incredibly proud of that one, though

hazelnut is teh luv <33333333333333

It really is, unfortunately Americans don't really get it the way Europeans do. I'm still waiting for hazelnut yogurt to arrive here, I had it everyday when I was in Ireland.

His name finally caught up to him, huh?

But you know, five years is a very long time for a crayfish to live. I think it helped that he didn't feel threatened by me, since I stopped eating shellfish out of respect for him

Really? I thought most women prefers automatic transmission. Well, most anyway.

That's true, though here no one really like to drive manuals anymore. I'm just a weirdo, I guess

Reading Stephen King's "IT" still gives me the creeps too.

I love Stephen King! Especially cause he's a diehard Red Sox fan

Maybe you are a zombie. Hey bax, we got another one here.

No no, that's impossible! I'm a vegetarian, remember? Who ever heard of a vegetarian zombie?!

Good luck on coming back to school. I hope it'll work out great for you.

Thanks

Have you read 100 Years of Solitude? I love that one.

Yes, I love it too! I even have a copy in Spanish, even though I can barely read it

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

If you drink it with a lot of milk or cream, that could be why. Try straight espresso instead

I don't add milk or cream in my coffee. And I only use one spoon of sugar for three spoon of coffee.

Oh no! Please tell me you're kidding! Life is meaningless until you've had a fresh pint of Guinness!

Of course i was just kidding. But i dont drink anymore now. But Guiness is great, though.

Gah! Now you must be kidding! Well, anyway, he was dead already, which we didn't know when we decided who would marry who. Big shock to my cousin when my mom broke the news. Off topic, but I have to say I find that smiley a bit unnerving for some reason. I don't know why, there's just something creepy about it....

Yes, i'm also kidding about Lennon. And the smiley is kinda creepy, that makes it great.

Pearl Jam? I love them, of course! In fact, they were the ones who made me realize there was music beyond the Beatles. REM and Genesis helped with that, too. And Ace of Base. Not incredibly proud of that one, though

Let me guess, your favorite Ace of Base song is The Sign, right?

It really is, unfortunately Americans don't really get it the way Europeans do. I'm still waiting for hazelnut yogurt to arrive here, I had it everyday when I was in Ireland.

Hazelnut yoghurt? Now that i gotta try.

That's true, though here no one really like to drive manuals anymore. I'm just a weirdo, I guess

No you're not. some of my friends, who are women, also like manuals than automatic.

I love Stephen King! Especially cause he's a diehard Red Sox fan

Yeah, but that clown still gives me nightmare everytime i watched that movie. I even look under my bed while holding a club, just in case if Pennywise decided to pop up under my bed.

No no, that's impossible! I'm a vegetarian, remember? Who ever heard of a vegetarian zombie?!

Who says zombie can't be vegetarian. You should read the latest Zombies Quarterly in the article written by Dr. Not Quite Dead titled "Vegetables Gives Your Undead Skin That Living Glow".

Yes, I love it too! I even have a copy in Spanish, even though I can barely read it

You do? Then why did you buy it in the first place.
