have you got a hot water bottle? if my feet are cold, I fill my hot water bottle and put my feet on it.

YAY!! you got more time to do it then? you can make it even better

ireland will be much the same as wales i expect. it is beautiful but can be very gloomy. there is constant humidity you see, even on a sunny day with clear skies, if you went up in a plane, you would actually see a lot of cloud cover. kenji, i am shocked that your feet could be so cold! actualy at this tikme, my feet are not cold. but then.. we have central heating. I guess in your climate, they may not put heaters in the houses? in the same way, we do not have cooller fans or stuf like that.?

nice work dude. you have real potential. keep at it, you can make a great designer. your work reminds me of bbdudes work from a long while ago and i am sure you have seen his work now. ganbatte!

it's all relative. since the island i live on is nowhere near the size of the island you are on, I don't consider myself close to the sea really. we're about 20 miles from the coast here. 90 metres above sea level.

or how about this. stop. now i've told you to stop writing them. what can you say?

picture me with a sheep and you should remember more easily I live in north wales.

this weather is really cool in my area. but I guess in your area it could sometimes be scary because the fierce weather can be life threatening in your area.

i think it's wrong that they want to hypnotise you into submission. wow, you did a paper on depression? it's so difficult to write on suich a complex subject. I hope you get a good grade if you need to add more to it, feel free to mesage me for any input. I have a lot of knowledge about this kind of psychology, I have studied a LOT!

thanks guys, oh hey, mirabilis, I had forgotten about that story! well actually it still seems kinda fitting, but not in the way i originally intended. it's strange how these things work out. and don't worry guys, I'm not suffering really. well.. not in the way that you probably think. I mean.. everyone suffers in normal life. but it's not that kind of thing. it's far more profound which is why i don't feel pain. it's more of a serenity that i expect zen buddhists get. I am the calm lake. it's just that at the moment, there are no fish in the lake. I need to find the fish.

it's an interesting question that deserves it's own topic... so here it is. you're asking me this at a time of upheaval.. I'm not entirely certain what i should say to be honest.. I think that evolution as science has it is the vehicle for evolution, but the driving force has to be something else. in this way i don't think there is much difference between what guyver says and real world. personally, I believe that the driving force behind evolution is the power of creation. YHWH, GAIA, LOVE, God, Spirits, whatever you want to call it. "I am that I am." and we are part of that that is. creation. after all, the elements that make up our body are the elements of this planet. it's silly to think of us as anything other than the parts of the planets existence and not separate. mirabilis, do you really think we were created by aliens? I think maybe you were joking :wink:

ha ha you used my old nick name thanks dude. well she is not my future. I have always known that. it's instinct. even though we have chemistry, I always knew that she would not be my wife. I would not wish for it, but I would wish to satisfy my body chemistry. also, I would wish to help her attain more happiness in her life.

mirabilis, thank you for your thoughts. i must say you seem to0 have misunderstood my own position, but it is no big worry, I mean, it is always interesting to see another persons perspective. I have a lot of respect for you holding onto your purity for marriage. I personally do not want that. I have a more liberal standpoint although that doesn't make me the kind of guy who would sleep with lots of women. it mean when i find somebody that i like and feel really comfortable with, i would certainly like to get more personal. the sexual tension is between both of us. if it were just her, then i wouldn't even pay any attention to it. I certainly wouldn't be happy if she was spoiling the friendship. no, we have a mutual understanding. relationships are about balance. me and her have been trying to find a balance for a long time. I have always known there is more than she is willing to admit. if she did not give off any pheromones, I would not be interested in her in that way. we both have chemistry and that is why I say she has finally admitted the situation. it's a good thing. because even if we do decide not to be friends, it is not a bad way, it is both of us acknowledging that it is the best thing for both of us. to move on. we will still care about each other and likely keep in contact by email. I am very happy that both of us can be so honest. even if we don't see each othr any more, we will still be friends in our heart. our relationship is not likely to last very long no matter what. I plan to go to other countries, she has plans to go other places that i am not interested in going. we both know that we are not intending on making any commitments. It's not like it's impossible, you never know the future, but the situation does not sugest that we would be any kind of permanent arrangement. mirabilis, I would not recommend closing off your emotions. I have done that. when you get to a stage where you just feel empty all the time, and you start to yearn to feel happiness, you learn your emotions again and they can really knowck you about. it's really tough to adjust and learn how to cope. the last thing you need is to get emotional problems. however you feel about being mistreated, talk some more about it. dwell with your feelings and work through them. don't lock yourself away. each relationship, each experience is a learning process. you have learned a lot from past experiences and that makes you more powerful and more able to choose more suitable people. but locking away your emotions and building a wall around you heart.. I strongly recommend agaist it, it's not worth the long term damage to your soul.

don't worry, no need to feel like an idiot, it can sometimes be a grey area wit these things. you meant well at the end of the day.

i spoke at length with my long time friend today. she finally admitted that the sexual tension will not go away and that we either need to a) do it or b) not be friends anymore. she's got issues though.. she has this thing that makes her guilty about the thought of sex. she admits that it's something she wants but she is afraid to feel guilty. so she either needs to get over that fear or we go our separate ways. i guess it depends on which is most prominent in her mind. we are very close and have been for a long time so it's not too simple. I'm very happy with the situation. although waiting is a bit of a pain, but i am really glad because it means the situation is ending. clarity is such a wonderful thing.

dude, I think it's really awesome that you found them or uploaded them and linked them for us... unfortunately, this is not allowed. the reason is that this is published in the west and so it would be a tricky copyright issue. what we can do is say that they are on youtube. we just can't link to it. unless that episode was released as a promo.. but i don't think it was was it?

we don't need that kind of ignorance in this world

heh heh thats a pretty fun story. it makes my heart warm to hear about things like this. defending our community is a worthwhile cause indeed I wouldn't do lines. it's a matter of respect in my view. if my view was not heard, I would not pay any heed to what was said to me.

I think they've done some interesting things with it. I was quite intrigued with the couple of shots with the really bright colours, it was like willy wonkas chocolate factory! but that's interesting because dragonball is pretty unrealistic.. and the style of this seems pretty cartoony like roger rabbit or george of the jungle or something like that. that;s a good thing because if they had tried to take it seriously they would have had epic fail. you just can't do something like dragonball in seriousness. so I think i'll give this a watch.

yeah, you could call it the larz and banana - king show.

ooh, truly superb! it is excellent to see such a video! I still don't like dcd but I intend to grow to like it.

in that case, aren't you celebrating every morning?

kenji, such creative use of teh emoticons!!

i've not listened to gackt for a long while, but this should be an interesting theme tune anyway! so he is part of a group that needs to save teh world? (Kadoya Tsukasa-tachi) and so he goes to fight the other riders to get their powers?

doomlord kazzak...in stormwind?? must have been before the burning crusade, right? aha ha ha, that obama rick roll was superb!!
