Welcome to Gaia! ::

@JK: I'm not sure how easy they are to find anymore, but you can get all the Duel Monsters DVDs in Japanese with English subtitles, albeit crappy ones. That's how I got my collecting, but alas, I finished it years ago. A friend has all of my DVDs right now, but maybe when I get them back, I'll start uploading them to Youtube or something.
OMG, I had forgotten that I recommended Yami no Matsuei and Okane ga Nai to you! XD They're still my too favorite BL anime/manga! Honestly, the Yami no Matsuei manga, though it has a lot more to it and is deeper, just doesn't have the same ambiance of the anime, and it is disappointing how it goes on permanent hiatus. I read it anyway though, but the anime is definitely better. And if you're still reading Okane ga Nai, all of the current scanlated chapters are up for stream on mangafox.com. After Forever More stopped scanlating them, another site took them over, but I could no longer find the scans for download! Just recently, my bud who got me into the series in the first place, showed me mangafox, so I was able to catch up to volume seven there. ^^
You can't steal from me what I don't have any longer. crying I had a Fire Lupe, a Faerie Lupe, and a Baby Lupe... they were my awesome family of foxes, and the Faerie one was actually my first online 'Kitsune.' I think her name was Kitsune123, and I ended up adopting the username for myself later, or combined it with my Neopets username, really, since that one was sailorjupiter8888888 (my old Gaia username was KitsuneChan8888888 XD). Okay, but enough whining. What's lost is lost.
Aww, it sucks when it's hard to handle change like that. D: I'm glad you're getting a better grasp on it though.
I do miss the site updates, but you can always just subscribe to him on Youtube; then you don't need to keep searching for updates. ^^

@Ghost: Waah, I love Hot Topic but can't afford anything there. D: I did have a Zelda shirt and a Raven (from Teen Titans) shirt from there that I got as gifts, but they both got too old and got holes in them, though I did cut out the pictures from both and hang them on my wall. XD
I have to drag my art crap onto a crowded shuttle to get to and from school... not fun.
Well, I don't necessarily think that having a thing for someone is always a grounds for not hurting them. I mean... Varon definitely struck me as a selfish individual, and though I think he truly wanted to make Mai happy, he went about it in the wrong way, and was really just changing her to make himself happy instead.
Yay, can't wait for episode forty-three!

@JK: I remember when pretty much anything anime-related could only be found in specialty shops, and it was all super expensive. Then as it got more popular, suddenly things got affordable, but some companies seem to still try to hold onto that expensiveness, which is why I think some anime series will be $30 for four episodes. It just depends on if the company has gotten with the times or not. I remember there used to be these Luna and Artemis (from Sailor Moon) plushies I wanted, but they were like $20 each, and were pretty small anyway. Then... years later, I went into a 99cent store, and lo and behold... there's a giant pile of them in a rack, a dollar each, the same ones that were $20 each in the past. I of course picked them both up, and they're still displayed in my room right now. ^^ But yes, I've also found some good deals... like all the YUU*GI*OU episodes cost me about $200, and it was over 200 episodes. I also found the entire Azumanga Daiou series for $30, and the entire Jing: King of Bandits series for $10. You just gotta get lucky.
...I love how we expect our favorite internet celebrities to devote all of their lives to us and making us happy with the free entertainment they provide. XD

Mm, that is a good idea, to just end with where the anime ends. If that's the case, then you can just read up through volume eight, and that will be the perfect spot. Nine is where the new plot starts. Not to mention there are little side stories and characters in the manga that aren't in the anime. And the hiatus still isn't officially permanent, but it has been quite a few years now.
Yeah, I was quite fond of the obnoxious seven eights, but I just felt like people weren't taking me serious enough at times. XD;; I had someone call me an obnoxious fangirl, just based on my username, others dismissing my opinions on Anzu bashing, and tons of n00bs always requesting to be my friend. o.o Ever since I changed the name, I only get the occasional n00b friend request. XD But really, they were just virtual pets. In a sense, it really gave me the excuse I had been waiting for to quit Neopets, since the economy had been messed up recently anyway, and users were far more obnoxious than they used to be. Plus, I had just recently gotten into Gaia during that time, so now that Neopets was gone, it gave way more of my computer time to building a life for myself here. ^^ I do miss my old pets, but I figure some good came out of it, and I have good memories of them. Oh, and by the way, the reason she stole my account is because we got into an argument over Duel Monster rulings over lunch at school that day. I think she was trying to argue that you could normal summon a monster in face-up defense mode...

Yeah, it is kind of sad to keep making us hope like that. D: I have tons of books to read right now too, but I am slowly making my way through them on shuttle rides. ^^
I guess it was just a n00bish action to have so many numbers after a name like that. In essence, it really was. XD;; The reason I had seven eights after the original "sailorjupiter8888888" is because that was one of the first accounts I ever created, and I was confused on the username process. I tried "sailorjupiter," but Neopets said the name was already taken, so then I tried "sailorjupiter8," and it said that was already taken as well. The site started suggesting more names to me, all beginning with "sailorjupiter8," but with more numbers tagged on, and I kept clicking okay, but it just kept giving me more options, and I got all confused with my little child brain. X_x Eventually I realized I had to *select* one of the options they provided me, and by then, the list consisted of sailorjupiter with very long strings of numbers afterward. I was afraid to restart the process, so ended up selecting the one with seven eights. XD Afterward I grew a bit fond of the representation of my own stupidity, so started adding the seven eights to other usernames as my trademark. Now though, to sound less n00bish, I add "Kwineight" after, to represent "Quintuple Eights." (sepeight sounded stupid, so I downgraded it to five eights). *fail!*
Wow, it must be strange to have to learn to start trusting someone again like that, but I'm happy to hear that you were able to do so. :3

I know, this guild hasn't been so active in a long time, my roleplay buddy much think I've been posting more slowly lately. XD;; And no worries; I ended up going to be soon too. Just haven't been able to stay awake lately. Stupid cold...
Wow, Mlenaie, that is adorable. XD
Yes, I suppose some things are definitely worth the effort. :3 I'm glad for you.

Yay, I'm glad, though not about the getting up early. XD
Heehee, adorkable. <3

Wow, that just makes it more awesome that it was accidental. XD

Yay posting related to thread topic!!!

Just watched episodes 43 and 44 of season 2 of TAS...YAY! Haha, aww. I won't say stuff because I don't know if other people have watched yet, I think they only went up within the past week (44) and two weeks (43). But yes, if you haven't watched them, you should watch them!! So I can say stuff, yay stuff!! (Every time I say the word stuff I think of Invader Zim, and Dib talking about "doin stuff"...hooray!!)

Mkay well I'm too lazy to go do research but does anyone know what LK does? Because it'd be a shame if he was an accountant or something, wasting all that creativity and humor.
