  1. See...I don't understand any of that either Guys, girls, straight, gay, bi, all of them essentially want the same thing so why is it "bad" for some and acceptable for others? I'll never get it :wacko:
  2. hahahahaha awesomesauce, man!
  3. Happy Birthday!
  4. My closet is triple-doored with locks all the way from ceiling to floor. as far as tops and bottoms...another social cue I don't pick up on. What's the big deal if I guy likes bottoming more than topping? It makes as little sense to me as if a guy got ridiculed for liking his coffee with cream rather than having it black.
  5. LOL wrong continent. Can't afford to go there either Try the western end of the US
  6. But what about us that can't afford to go to Middle and South America? Then what
  7. I have six on this list, however, that is all I shall say
  8. Trying to have a serious conversation with me before I've woke up all the way. Making any sort of loud noises when I have a headache. People saying they don't like something they've never tried, whether it be food, books, movies, anything. That really ruffles my feathers. Yes, I have feathers >_> Banging on doors even then a person's said they're coming. Seriously, they said they're answering, do you really have to keep it up? That's just rude. Repeatedly inviting someone to do something you know they don't like, such as asking someone to go camping when he can't stand being trapped in a four person tent with five other people.
  9. Definitely big thanks to everyone who participated. I'm still working on reading my way through these, but it's a totally awesome thing for everyone to put out there. *hugs everyone*
  10. It isn't who we are, it's what we do that defines us ~ Rachel Dawes, Batman Begins Better one big enemy you can see than many little ones you can't ~ Mandalorian Proverb, Star Wars Extended Universe [One] Who writes, remains. ~ Mandalorian Proverb, Star Wars Extended Universe Family is more than Blood ~ Mandalorian Proverb, Star Wars Extended Universe Only idiots poke the Dragon before he has eaten. ~ Me, 2010, referring to anyone daring to attempt logical speech with me first thing in the morning.
  11. Sorry I'm late, but happy birthday, Dargon!
  12. I like how people smell. It's always different and exciting because something they smell muskier, sometimes more floral or fruity, and sometimes like exotic spices. The first and last group are what really get me though. Really musky colognes, too, will pique my interest and I'll try to figure out where it's coming from if I don't already know
  13. I'm going to have to admit that when I read the title, I misread it as "capitalism" and thought I was in The Soapbox for a minute Then I read the thread and laughed. Yeah, capitalization and punctuation are vital. It's extremely difficult to understand people who don't use either and, often, have bad grammar to boot. I can usually manage, but it might take some odd questions or an lolwut before I get it. Thanks for the laugh though...thank goodness I don't have an Uncle Jack or a horse though, or I'd never be able to look at either without cracking up
  14. Okay, I'm gonna give this a go... On a scale of one to ten for each question, I'll rate Twilight in green and Harry Potter in Purple, then give an explanation for each. The numbers I give are based on rating these two against each other. If I labeled them according to other books I liked, the numbers would be on the negative scale. 1.) Overall plot 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 I give Twilight a four. It's fairly cliche. Boy meets girl, girl falls in love with boy, boy screws girl, somehow it ends up happy in the end. Harry Potter gets a five because, while it has a similar overall line, there's more twists and turns and it takes a lot longer and more adventures to get there. Harry Potter is also more focused on friendship, which seems far more important. 2.) Characterization 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 Twilight gets a two because, quite simply, every character in the entire freaking series would fail the Mary Sue/Gary Stu litmus test. Oh my god would they fail. Harry Potter gets a six because despite the fact that Potter is also a Stu, he at least has a personality, which is far more than can be said for Bella. 3.) Keeping Canon Straight 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 Vampires. Don't. Sparkle. *cough* Moving on. Harry Potter isn't exactly great with keeping with fantastical tradition, but Rowling at least tried. I'll give JKR a few points here simply because she had so many creatures I don't think anyone could keep it completely straight. But what's-her-name couldn't even keep TWO fantastical creatures to their respective traits. 4.) Reading Level 1---2 and 2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 Both seem to me to be elementary-school reading levels. Way below my ability for sure. 5.) Length 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 Easy. Harry Potter has twice as many books as Twilight. To me, the longer a book or a series is, the better. 6.) Believability 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 Vampires. Don't. Sparkle. Never have, never will. Though flying cars and talking paintings are just as bad. 7.) Choice of Locale 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 Okay, Twilight wins this one. Washington doesn't get highlighted very often, whereas there's a ton of stories out there where the UK gets a feature. Not only that, but Harry Potter has to somehow wriggle into an alternate reality of sorts within the UK. How the heck does that work? Twilight uses real places in a rarely featured location. Could the stories fare alright if the locations were switched? Harry Potter would survive...not sure if Twilight would. So that evens the score a bit. 8.) Societal Value 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10 Twilight fails epically at this one. There isn't much of anything of value to be learned from it. At least Harry Potter puts a huge emphasis on the value of friendship, honesty, and responsibility. Totals: Twilight: 21 Harry Potter: 38 --------------------------------------- I think Potter won this one.
  15. Seems a little overboard to me, but I'll spray it down after I shower so there's just water left. I'll usually give it a proper cleaning on the weekends, but after I shower all it needs is a quick spray-down.
  16. Sean Connery - definitely James Earl Jones is also nice Sean Astin too Hugh Jackman <3 Temuera Morrison <3<3<3<3<3 NZ accents are to die for
  17. can't link it, but Love Story by Taylor Swift.
  18. Happy birthday!
  19. First question: All of the above plays a part, but the toppings are probably closest to the top with crust type a close second. Second: Probably the best pizza I ever ate was at a local place called Second Avenue. They have a special pizza called a Caroline that's just to die for! and now I'm hungry
  20. Marriage in general is a touchy subject for me, because I don't really understand it, but gay marriage being legalized still means a lot to me because of being treated like a lower citizen just for falling in love with someone other than what religion finds acceptable, otherwise.
  21. O.O >.> <.< *keeps Kent's picture*
  22. Unless I misunderstood the definition of simile, a simile is a comparison of two dissimilar objects or ideas using like or as. So a simile would be more like "You are SO gay you're like a unicorn that farts rainbows" or "You are SO gay you are as girly as my sister's Barbie"
  23. hmmm... "Keep Holding On" by Avril
  24. Nope. Twin But my bed is backed up to the wall on two sides and I have the head of the bed on the other end so it's got walls on three sides keeping them on (but they are two to three layers thick!)
  25. Wow...that all just went totally over my head lol
