I think, my main magnet to some animes is that they provide some sort of utopia where things seem so profound.
Ifurita's case for example, for one to remain cheerful, full of charity, and kind despite being subjected to different harsh treatment, comment, judgement, etc etc is almost non existent in real life. I'd like to adapt such personality (easier said than done though >_< )
Is that a complement??
She doesn't understand basic human emotion, nor the difference between compliments and insults. ;)
Of course... it doesn't work well in the other direction either. About 4 days ago this one lady told me I looked like I was 12 O_O;
I'm 22 O_O; and... I REALLY don't think I look THAT young... 15-16 is the LOWEST I'd go. And I was even wearing my hair back which makes me look older O_O;
Now... my old roommate ^_^ she IS very small in stature and people REALLY DO think she's 12... she's 20. ^_^; I think is really does bother her when people tell her she looks like she's 12... she gets it a lot...
When that lady told me I looked like I was 12 I thought... "My God, if you saw my old roommate, you'd think she was 6 then!"
Oh well... :p
People are always wondering my age; I tell them I'm in HS, they think I'm a Sophomore, then they guess Junior for safety, and then they guess Freshman correctly, because I'm not dazed out enough to be a senior at Jyyyyeffferson.
I don't know what kind of pastimes they have in Scotland, but jumping around seems safe
I'm as good as 21 and trying to finish my research report. I'm majoring in chemical engineering.
I turned 32 last month. I do believe MrWhat has time on me though. ;)
Did I say "20 May 20" yet? It's my big event for the year. :P (Turning 20 May 20th, just 13 days away from now...)
Oh and for your own personal amusement Rob... look at this picture of Rock:(http://www.el-hazardonline.net/sarahsensei/rocspictures/rockglance.jpg)
heh ^_^;
I'm 17, but a bit ahead of the game... working my ass off this month to get money together for my first mortgage payment.
Whoa... excellent.
I'm 23. My B-Day's in March.
I have a crappy temp-job and no life.
I need more anime to fill the void... Curse Block Buster's lack of anime and my scalped paycheck...
I'm bitter right now, don't mind me. -_-;
I've got the following divX files if you want 'em:
Pita Ten (all eps.)

Cowboy Bebop (all eps. dubbed)
Final Fantasy Unlimited (all eps.)

Hellsing (all eps. -- here's one for your old roommate Vampir-age. I never watched it but I have all the eps. ^_^; )
And I have some other random stuff... I have MOST of Fruits Basket and some Tekkaman Blade...
I'll send you more Rockman EXE when I get it... and once they start releasing more Astro Boy I'll send you that too...
I gots da good sheeeeeeeit!
^_^ I was a good club librarian yes I was
Well, this topic has been silent a week, but I figured I might as well post here anyway.
I'm 27, but I won't be for much longer. My birthday's on the 21st of June. The longest birthday of the year! ^_^V
I'm 19 and I'll be turning 20 next year of Febuary 17th.That's when the holiday of the president's day comes in.
Slightly older than me, eh? I personally wouldn't mind becoming 21... then I'm fully legalized to do everything. And I swear my life sometimes gives me the desire to drink, though I can't legally fulfill that. (No, that's not a good idea, but you'd like to think you could instead of being told you can't.)
Anyway, this next May 20th, I will finally be free of any legalities regarding age (good ol' 21), and that'll be fine with me.
I dunno if I want to get any older after that though. ;) I already feel pretty old and that's not helping.
The drinking age is 19 here ;D
18 in quebec :o
But still, El-Hazard remains something I cling to to give me hope.
The single thing I love the most in El-Hazard first OAV is that, in the very end, it is not about saving the world. It is about a boy who loves his girl so much, he won't stop at nothing until he can get back to her. He doesn't care about what others think; it makes no difference to him whether she's even human. He will face the biggest odds... and win. The sheer power of his feeling will keep him going, "even across the breath of a thousand million nights", to the day they will meet again.
whee, happy belated birthday Saucer! *gives you a nice shiny grass green balloon and a cookie cake*
but what of cards? *runs off in one direction*
I like poker, it truly is a game of chance. which reminds me *back on topic* when I was 10, my friend that lived next door had this huge craps table in his living room so I would come over with my brother in tow and we would play on it, poker, craps, black jack, etc. and we would even have the candy cigarettes. lol. ah those were the days. that is the only way you'd ever catch a cigarette in this girl's mouth. if it was made of sugar. hehe
