  1. Naw, not really true. There's a lot to imagine with a graphic novel. Ever hear "A picture is worth a thousand words"? Someone could write three pages describing some worn out, webbed corner room, and some people could draw it out. Either way, it gets appreciated. Not to mention, there's a lot of context with any story, whether visual or written. I mean, my imagination goes wild either way. In Harry Potter, I always wonder more about Voldemort and more into his education of Hogwarts. Did anything more happen that was never written on paper? Same goes with the graphic novel Strain, what happened to this guy to make him so conflicted when all it says is his childhood was troubled? A lot of the information we receive daily is visual, excluding blind people, so it's more than just a "picture book". There's a legitimate story in graphic novels, there's a story behind almost anything when you think about it. Take this for example: This is a picture taken on September 11 this year. It's Robert Peraza, who lost his son during 9/11 and took a moment to pause at his name on the memorial. It's a beautiful picture and it captures a lot of emotion, even if you didn't know anything about why this man was kneeling at a plaque. A good graphic novel, you probably don't need to read to get a good grasp of the story in it, but then again, that's what art sorta does. Anyways, to each his own. Some people understand better when they read, and some people, like me, understand better visually.
  2. I always thought about doing a graphic novel, but I'm so scattered brain and lazy, I only get a few sketches done. D=
  3. I have. Sometimes I wonder if im bisexual but I can't say for sure. I was sexually attracted to the girl I had sex with but only after being close to her, etc. Ive never found myself immediately attracted to females. Its a hard ponder. Lol
  4. East Coast is like, where I am and stuff. I'd like to meet some weirdos please.
  5. I stole the complimentary giraffe they kept in my room once. ...kidding. I always take the packets of coffee. Lol
  6. My bf and I are both open and out, but I gotta admit, I don't have much of a social life at my college. I go to class, study in the library, etc, but I don't really know a lot of people there, but even still, I don't hide that I'm gay. I don't think we have any gay organizations though.
  7. O___________O -Bangs Yang- Hah
  8. OMFG POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FOOD!
  9. Aw. Dragonsong with Menolly was always a favorite of mine.
  10. Hmmm, personally I wouldn't use the staff bathroom under any circumstances. Its not a solution if you ask me. It feels like giving up to bigotry. I understand it may "keep them safe" but at what cost, targeting someone out? If someone has the balls to try to harm me in a bathroom, I'm going to put my foot down their throat. I dont care how uncomfortable they feel, I'm a guy and I'm using the guy potty. Lol. They can wait until I'm done if they feel weird. As for ftm and mtf, I dont think it matters. A lesbian isn't excluded from the girl's bathroom because they're attracted to girls, the same should be applied for transgenders. Sorry for the mistakes. I'm on my phone
  11. I did. No one ever complained either. I look and act entirely like an average guy so I assume a ton of people never even knew I was different. My school principal was also very accepting as well.
  12. Gender is between your ears, sex is between your legs. I'll be damned if someone told me I couldn't pee in the boy's bathroom.
  13. I like it.
  14. Trash talk is a given with sports. Not everyone gets huffy and puffy about it like with politics, cause once their teams win, they can make a big BOOYAH comeback. Maybe it wont need as much moderating as it would seem.
  15. Thinking about sinking ships creep me out to no end. I won't even swim in the river near my house, in fact, I don't know how to swim. Seeing that sinking ship on James' comment scares me. -hides- NO PLS
  16. Let's face it, we're all a little bit of a troll on the internet. So what's troll would you be? Or better yet, do you know a troll in disguise? Ever had a run around with a silly troll? They are pretty silly.... Most common types of trolls: http://www.smosh.com...internet-trolls I'd be a little of the White Knight Troll. XD
  17. Hey omg, no fair! -disowns Yang-
  18. Mebbeh. :3
  19. Awesome! I know how hard it is. Hopefully I'll be 8 years sober one day.
  20. I don't wash my hair every day, it's not good for it, but I do every other day. I use cheap shampoo, I'm not picky, and most of it goes down the drain. I can't stand greasy hair though. My bf, Chris, has amazing hair, he's such a girl about it. <3
  21. I was eating in my car and didnt realize I dropped a ketchup packet in the driver floorboard. On the way home, I squished it with my foot.
  22. It's tough to call, but there are plenty of kids who find their gender identity at an early age, me included. A lot of people assume that gender identity is learned through parenting and gender roles in society, but it's not entirely true. There was a man named David Reimer, who was born male with his identical brother, but lost his penis in a circumcision gone wrong. His parents decided to change his sex into a girl to avoid the burden of being a male without a penis. He never acted/felt like a girl, and when he parents confessed, he immediately went to being the guy he was, but it was a lot of damage, and he committed suicide. I do think it's a little odd that his father is transgender as well. I hope no one is pressuring his decisions for him, or it could have traumatic effects. I'm constantly on the fence about transgender children taking hormones. I know it's better at an earlier age, but there is no guarantee that what they want is a sure thing.
  23. Signed.
  24. Aw I thought this was a car fashion thing. =[
  25. O______O -pounces Prince- Everyone needs to just STAY AWAY from MY Princey! -growls-
