Welcome to Gaia! ::

Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun...but since we're dubbed by 4kids we must make do without one.

HAHAHAHAHA, omg, haven't watched the Brooklyn Rage video (uploaded today I think actually), WATCH IT!! I love the beginning!!!

I really was, and today I'm like the opposite, I think I'm getting sick!! I'm also suffering from that extra X chromosome as of this morning ~_~. Combined those aren't joyous at all, I usually excerise to combat cramps and stuff, I can't excerise when I'm ill so it's kind of prioritizing which pain needs to be addressed more. Also I was suppose to go to a party tonight (not going) and the homecoming game for my old HS (still gunna try to go, I only went once since graduating, the year after I graduated - but this is their 50th and a lot of my old alumni friends are gettin together so I'm going to try and suck it up and not puke on the new bleachers).

Ah I wish I had artistic talent, besides writing, one of my fellow flutes and still current best friend (she was a passive, minimal drama and very sweet) was a really good artist - she's a graphic design major now, but yea senior year was nuts for her. She had AP American Political Systems, AP English, AP Calc, AP Bio and AP Art - 5 AP classes of crazy!!! Plus 2 band periods, she had no lunch. She had no lunch the year because of jazz band too (she dropped senior year to do AP Art). Yea my friends are psychotic, I'm a little psychotic too so it's ok.

Haha, I will pay you any amount of money to not sing, that was cute! Ahh I need to watch the anime, I keep forgetting how pretty Kaiba's eyes are. Also while I was there I finally watched the manga abridged videos, OMG ******** HILARIOUS!!! Dude, ugh, the hand thing - so true! A knife?! Haha, that was great. Aww man, so happy. There should be more!

No apologizes, totally butt in! Especially to do something weird like be on topic. That video was beyond awesome, of course I now have it stuck in my head.

I either magically avoided getting sick - if so super huzzah to airborne of which I only took 1 - or the illness was really related to my womanlyness - which would suck and it had better not happen again. I've never had illness accompany that in the past, I know some people do but I have never been one of those so that would be very annoying.

Yea, the upside to going to a 4000+ person school, they offered a lot of AP courses. All the English/History/Math/Science ones for the most part as well as some other misc like certain foreign languages and art and such. Although our foreign language options weren't really as extensive as such a large school should have had. Sure we had Tagalog, and I had college friends jealous that we had ASL - however these were my Classics friends (from my Attic Greek and New Testament Greek classes), so I was pretty jealous they had Latin - since most of them went to private school. Ahh how I would have killed to have had an introduction to Classics pre-college, that really might have changed my entire major. Well, I probably would have done English in addition, rather than discovering Classics at the end of my undergrad and not having the time to add it on as a double (not without staying longer, though had I known the economy was about to hit fail mode I might have done it). I hate considering things that would change my life, because I attribute a lot of who I am today to the people I've met along the way and the experiences I've had - things that would have changed if circumstances changed. I can't help but wonder though, "what if," I mean geez the Classics (especially Greek!) are AMAZING!

*flees from the creepy sausage hands*...btw, totally forgot Jou looked that creepy in the manga originally. I think I surpressed that for some reason rofl .

I think I woulda been more inclined to take Spanish had it been the "proper kind"...don't get me wrong, a lot of my HS friends are Mexican and it'd be nice to be able to eavesdrop on them when they are on the phone with family (Muwhaha - sorry, I get curious) or just playing the exclusive a*****e game. I just find "proper" Spanish to sound nicer, and I have a higher interest in Europe than anywhere south of our states, so that would be more useful to what I'd want - it'd also be in better conjunction with French and Italian (a language I want to improve and a language I'd like to learn - just because it would open a whole new world to me being an opera fan).

I dunno other than Tagalog how well represented our Asian languages were, although rumor has it we had Farsi or something? That'd be surprising. My friend who took Mandarin took it elsewhere (she's Taiwanese though and had been taking it elsewhere since she was a little kid, equivalently she was around 6th grade level when we were in 8th or 9th I think). My friend who took Japanese also took it elsewhere (and transferred the credits in). I guess that's at least a good option, you could take virtually whatever else you wanted elsewhere if that's what you wanted to do and transfer it in. And being the bay area there is no shortage of options around, if you want to put in that time and effort to get it done on the outside.

Yea I won't get upset about it, and it's fun to think on, I just think that if ever given a choice at one of my what ifs I'd refuse almost every time.

Honda was WAY creepy looking. Ugh I still don't want to think about that. And yea Jou was creepy but he was creepy in a cute way, so I don't totally mind that except I really like how he looks later so yea, in comparision I'm like "nooooooooo," hehe. I apparently keep ignoring Anzu and Yuugi doesn't look too different to me, save for creepy hands and some even creepier facial expressions.

Well, it probably seems truer to form and the academic world to teach European Spanish. Also there is probably a bit of discomfiture with the stereotypes surrounding the education level of a lot of Hispanics, so it probably IS a bit of a discriminatory/prejudicial act in choosing to not recognize the language differences and utilize the one more geographically convenient. Also, when we were in HS, Bush was president.

Yea, the options are nice, that's one of the nice things about the bay area - it's so culturally diverse. Which is why you have all these options. I mean I probably went to one of the most diverse HS in the country. There is good and bad within that of course, but the good I think far outweighs the bad.

Yea I really like the art style for the anime, but I can see your argument for the manga. And yes, as much as I love to insult it, A lot of the love I have for YGO comes from those stunning coifs ^_~.

I'm certain it would be tough - it's what I'm gearing myself up for though, wanting to move halfway across the world. I like the diversity, but parts of my school district are definitely low income and have all the violence and criminal issues that are inherent to those areas. So I'd have liked to have had more of a secure, higher class community - but, I still am also comfortable where I am.
