i don't really know what to think about the whole innocence or guilty thing because there doesn't seem to be sufficient explanatory evidence.

if the teacher happened to obtain the pop-ups because she viewed porn sites, i think that was an ill move for her engage in. yes...looking at porn on a school computer - that is certainly going to up your reputation. :/

since the teacher was told that she could not turn off the computer, and with the knowledge that the pop ups still lingered, the teacher could have used measures to prevent her students from accessing or viewing the computer. liiike.....cover the computer screen with a piece of cloth or......tape a large piece of paper on the computer that says "broken computer - do not touch".

*givespeoplepunchingbags*

sex is my anti drug.

jusss kidding. (haven't even been laid). >.>
let's see.. friends, music, art, life, and my frail weak body drive me away from the use of drugs.

er...yeah life can suck at times. right now, i know that school work is making my life a living hell, plus other things in life... but apparently i am still alive, so i have managed to find some things in life to momentarily supress degrading aspects of it. i figure i might as well try to live and hope for more happiness in life (that i might miss out on).

hmm i really like the full metal alchemist ost too. i actually happen to have no disgust for any of the endings/opening themse. i think the instrumental music is awesome. but i absolutely love the soundtracks of the composer joe hisaishi. he composes the music for the miyazaki films. spirited away, laputa, princess mononoke osts are really beautiful instrumental music.

"i love you"

rofl.. i was always wondering why some people would get so ecstatic when those words were spoken to them. i just thought..they are just words. no need to make such a huge deal about that. really, i have no clue. and i think it is lame to just have sex for the first time immediately after that is said.

i agree with nekkid, i don't think that young teenagers really understand what true love is. i think love has to develop in a loong time and not something within 2 weeks. i may sound condescending. well, i've never actually been infatuated to a particular being.

hah i have a story that people can probably relate to...

well, i wanted to get a hairstyle that was short and layered in the back and long in the front (kinda a punk-esque look). i sketched out my idea on paper and showed it to the cutter at this asian run hair salon. i told her that the longest part (the front) should go up to my shoulders. but..she cut it like two or three inches above my shoulders.. and the style was not what i intended on. oh well...hair grows. and that place really doesn't cut 'those kind' of hairstyles. yeah, i suggest people consider specific hair salons to go to that does a particular style of cuts. >.>

and i recently saw the anime 'trinity blood'. the character esther blanchett's hairstyle reminds me of my attempted hairstyle.

i am not ashamed about it.. it's just that i don't tell most of my friends about anime because they probably have no interest in it or really don't know much about it. i don't flaunt that i like anime (in public). if i meet someone that does like anime, then yeah, i'll talk and rave about it.

ohhh i would want 'clairvoyance' - having the power of discernning objects not present to the senses.

hmm this is hard to decide...but of course i would choose a creature. lol human as a pet? that is weird for me. anyways, it's

haku dragon from spirited away
kyuubi from naruto
temari's cool summoned weasel from naruto
maybe throw in a couple of pokemon....all the stages of charmander

i really love dir en grey. i recently downloaded some gackt songs...but i'm not quite sure if i am really into those yet. i'm trying to look for some heavy jrock bands...

lol sometimes i wonder why i like it soo much.. but i am surprised that it is extremely popular. the storyline of the "avenger" and "underdog". the general idea is no different than others. i really hate how flashbacks are overdone. but i guess it helps people with short term memory.

i like the battles. each character has their own strengths and weaknesses. i think the whole jutsu and abilities is well thought out. and it has some funny stuff too. anyways, naruto was the first subbed anime that i have seen, and after that. i've started collecting more anime i couldn't obtain from just plain television...

oh yes. i have to agree with Kryuzei, the kyuubi rocks. gotta love that cute ferocious thing.

thanks for the reply belmikry. unfortunately i can't download large things like that on my dad's comp. oh well.

yeah..i'm 16 (almost 17 soon). it is kinda scary thinking about myself becomming an adult. i think i will actually consider myself an adult when i move out of my parent's house...

I also have a problem pertaining to customizing my own layout. I am trying to change the colors. But the colors won't change. My page still looks the same (the default tenplate). My browser is IE.

i appreciate any suggestions.

hmm i'm asian. short. thin. between 5' 2'' and 5' 3''. i have glasses and i dress -inconsistently-. i'm kinda reclusive..but once i am familiar with people, i open up more.

hmmm..that all depends on my mood. if i feel like i want to be alone -- then i will be. if i feel like i need a conversation -- then i'll be around people. i think i am "semi-anti-social". i know i am definately not one of those people that are in desperate need to be in the company of others. i suppose there are times when i might get to that point of feeling "extreme lonliness, and i must have somebody by me.

Yes....it truly is a sad day for the Naruto community. Check out this summary from the Cartoon Network Pressroom:

Quote by Cartoon Network PressTwelve years ago, a nasty demon decimated a village but was contained in a baby who is now a student at a ninja academy. But this antisocial boy does not know that he is possessed. As he evolves as a ninja, his inner demon gives him more and more powers. To become a master ninja, he must learn to control his powers without destroying those around him. The series is scheduled to air in third quarter.

I don't get it; how is Naruto "antisocial"? "Lonely," yes. "Mischievious," yes. "Shunned," yes. NOT "antisocial." It doesn't make sense.

I'm also really sad about losing the Japanese voices. They were sooo good. And now we'll have to listen to......I don't even want to think about it.....

I guess on the bright side of this licensing is that there will now be Naruto merchandise more widely available. I'm excited for that.

I have 2 Naruto posters and 1 Full Metal Alchemist posters.

and i have other random things that i put on my wall...

i definately prefer subs. i like to see how the characters are originally portrayed. listening to the japanese language is really interesting. and if i see a sub first and then see the dub, i really think that the dub voices are awkward and unfitting at times. that is why i am afraid of some things being licensed in the u.s because i would not be used to hearing some of the anime character voices butchered in dubs (like in full metal alchemist X.x).

on rare occasions, i have thought of inflicting pain on myself to supress my unstable emotions. but i know that i will -never- actually do such a thing to my body because i am a wimp when it comes to slashing my veins.

so, i think i understand why some people do it -- maybe they inflict pain on themselves so they won't focus on their emotions. and for others, they might do it as a way to make people visually sse that the individual is 'hurt'. a cry for help i assume.

maybe others just do it as way to test their strength. i know that some native american tribe does this 'sundance ritual'. they would go through these self mutilations to 'gain access to spiritual power and to separate themselves from the weaker members of the community'.... something along the lines of 'endurance'. insane? the native americans would engage in battle fearlessly beacause of this...i really don't know what point i am making out of this....

perhaps there are people who do it to be in 'the clique.' they might do it flaunt themselves with the mindset of "omg this is sooo cool. hahaha i can do this and you can't. your a wimp!!!1111' i personally think that the individual should seek a better 'hobby' than do wasteful things .

basically, i don't think that all people who cut themselves are 'stupid'. it depends on the individual and situation. of course some of these people are aware that they are hurting their body. but it becomes a habit for them, something they can control. people should consider seeking help and finding alternative ways to deal with their problems.

anyways..these are just my opinions on how i view cutting. these are just assupmtions, i know i may not be right on some things.... i have not been in contact with people who cut themselves.

So far, I've had three of my wallpapers deleted. I have an understanding to why they were deleted. I really don't mind because I didn't think it was original anyway. Though I was quite disheartened when one of my other wallpapers got deleted-- which featured an original artwork of mine. Supposedly, it was deemed 'simplistic'.

My thoughts are that some things can be tastefully appealing even though they seem "simplistic". Some images/wallpapers may be moving to people, yet they don't have to be lavished in exuberant color and presented in a 'grandeur way'. People may probably think that the preceding statement is an 'excuse for a 'legitimate action'. But I have come to a realization...

Quote by sammoSimplicity has its beauty.. but a character pasted over a white canvas, or over a gradient colored canvas, or over another character face enlarged and blurred is not enough.

And after reading this statement, just...fine...why bother with argumentation? I see several images in MT that pose a question of 'is this really good quality?', yet they are not deleted. Interpreting quality and taste differ among people. Oh well... those deletions don't bother me anymore. I have received comments and favorites from those deleted wallpapers. And that gives me satisfaction. Besides, I know there are alternative sites to display them.

However, I have a few questions, and I wish some things could be further elaborated in their explanation. Such as:

-Why are screenshots not acceptable in wallpapers?
My assumptions are that MT is encouraging the use of the scans that they display, so they don't allow screenshots. I just think that some screenshots look good and could be useful for creating backgrounds. Maybe it would add to more diversity than using the same scans over and over.

-Why are black and white scans not acceptable? (this doesnt' relate to wallpapers, but i don't want to post another thing...)
Are black and white art not tasteful/ desired enough or what? Even though I don't post scans, I am just wondering about 'why is that?'.

ah yes...i am probably subjecting myself to more deletions.

I drive a white '92 Jeep Cherokee to school. I also drive the other family cars on occasion. We have a couple of SUV's because my dad doesn't believe in small cars.

So, let's hear what kind of wheels you have/drive.

Physically, I hate the feeling of vomiting. Emotionally, I guess I would say I get depressed really easily when I get bad test grades.
