It's a figure of speech. It basically means that it didn't work out how I wanted it to. Americans use too many "figures of speech". We say something and then it ends up meaning something completely different.
"Hit the ground running" = Starting immediately without waiting. "It's better to go out with a bang" = Be impressive even if you're going to fail anyway. "Racking our brains" = Putting ourselves through mental stress to solve a problem. "She ran like the wind" = She ran really fast. I'm trying to think of some others. But if you ever have a question about one, just let me know and I'll clarify. |
Ah, yeah. I got worried already ^^"
We have them too, but sometimes I don't even understand the Dutch ones u__u Anyway. Thanks~ <3 |
You're welcome... what makes me angry sometimes is my stupid American comrades end up getting angry at people who attempt to correct them when they're learning a new language. It's counter-productive. I don't get angry, that's for sure. People only correct you because they're trying to help you become better in that language. But most Americans seem to take it as an insult. I don't know why,
|
Hm. We get angry too u__u
Well, not me either. But it's just human I guess. You've got all kind of imperfections, and it's just one of them. So, myeah. I can't say that I don't mind, but. Well. It's better than total perfection. n__n |
I suppose so... it would be a little creepy if everyone was perfect.
|
Nice quest thread Fey, I hope you get everything you need and I like the look. I think I want to watch this series now.
|
*pops in due to Fey's post in the Word Games* |
Nana[Youmindcallmethat?Imean.Well.IliketocallyaNana<3]; And boring I guess.
Fading Existence; Noo o.o Why not Nobu, or Ren. Or Yasu. Or Naoki. Or Shiin<3 Gosh I love that guy. ^^' |
I think Fading would make a great Takumi... <3 He's still hot even if he is an arse...
Horray for eyecandy! *giggles* ---------- Quote:
|
lol, Yeah, guy looks pretty cool despite being a giant douchebag. And he's easy to cosplay. Just wear long black hair and a suit. XD |
Shin is pretty epic.
|
Yeah. I remember seeing his hair and piercings when he first appeared and going, "Cooool..." all those years back. :XD |
I just love the fact that he's basically a male prostitute. XD Cracks me up. He's sooooooo cute too! Although no one will have my heart like Noboue... not even Ren or Baldy. <3 Sorry Hachi...but if he'd stop following me around like a lost puppy dog then maybe he'd be all yours. *kicks Noboue & drinks a can of beer*
|
lol Yeah, he's pretty cute. I like Baldy too, he's funny. :lol: |
It must have been the manga. I saw all 50 episodes of the anime and I don't remember Ren dying...
|
I've never seen the anime before xD; |
It would have had to have been at the end of the series... or just rumors spread by the paparazzi. He was one for flair. And JUST in the manga.. because I remember the end of the anime. He was still alive.
|
hey there, i sent you a small donation for your quest. ^_^
and i LOVE nana! i haven't seen the anime or movie, but i've read the manga. :3 |
The mangaka's works seem to have (somewhat) sad endings, I forgot what her previous work was but the ending was that the girl and the guy ended up being separated despite all they've gone though. Ren's a pretty interesting guy, I hope he doesn't end up dead. |
@ Aoi ~ Thanks again! Every little bit counts for sure.
@ Fading ~ Well now that I have a better job I should be able to actually buy them all. I've actually been getting a great deal of my manga from a local used book store. I got 3 manga and some other miscellaneous books for about 6 dollars. It was mainly because I traded in a bunch I didn't want anymore/bought for someone else and it ended up in my collection. Stuff like that. I purchased the 3rd Clover and 5&7 of Nana recently. |
I haven't bought manga in a long time. xD |
I haven't bought it just because I haven't had the money. But I've noticed I'm a lot pickier now than I was in my...youth... so to speak.
I need to just make a list so I know what to get when I have money and I'm at the store. |
-Pops in again-
I either borrow Manga's from my friend [she gets them from Germany] or read them online, because there aren't any shops where you can buy them here. >< |
Yeah, I've been much more picky than I was before. |
Agreed... i'm a huge paper fiend. Nothing smells better to me than a bookstore. I know that sounds kinda funny. But I think a lot of it comes from the fact that I read a ton when I was a child to deal with the fact that my parents basically treated me like a shut-in. They didn't hardly let me go anywhere. I was so sheltered it wasn't even funny. So most of the time I just stayed in my room and read. *nods*
