holy cow! i'm not gonna read all that, but you two have been typing up a storm! i bet you have tons of gold now too... :mrgreen:

hi llonka~!! you don't have to read the whole
thing we posted! it was primarily about anime, lol
> u < it was a little about music too~ but mostly
anime, censorship, some anime suggestions,
and the differences between gaia online and mene~ <3

o u o /waves

ooh ok! i'm on gaia, i joined in 2004. i don't post anymore and rarely log on. i only post here, kinsaki and crysandrea. :)

i see~!! o u o i still go on there sparratically
and post some things.

to me, gaia is more of a… way to keep in contact
with old friends~ = u = because some don't have
facebook, or others just log in randomly and it's
the only way i have to talk with them~ = u =

so yeah, that's why i keep gaia~

i'll probably never leave mine because i have so
much time, effort, and gaia gold put into it. i've
only used a bit of actual cash towards the site
mostly because i've been doing art commissions,
which i may start doing on mene~ = u = actually
talked to one person on here who was looking for
art and i'm waiting for 2k to come in~ once i
finish it anyway~ o 3o

Hm...it sometimes depends on my mood, and the company I'm with...if I'm with people who are similar to me or have similar interests, I usually have an easier time hopping in and chatting up a storm. However if I'm with really opposite types of people...say, a really stern person or those who don't smile much or are really quiet, I start feeling very awkward. :sweat:

Haha, I don't like the Chatterbox either, it's just a huge spamfest in there. :XD The only times I go there are when I'm looking for giveaways. Even then, I only post in the newer ones. (better chance of getting something while the poster is still online) Though I once persevered and somehow managed to bump in a thread 2000 times in a row for an Angelic Bow...

That shouldn't be a problem then, there's nearly always someone to talk to! Unless it's during one of those really really unpopular time zones...then the only ones active would probably be the roleplay section...:sweat:
Haha, I often stay up way later than I should because I'm busy chatting on Menewsha and didn't want to go to bed and miss out on the conversations. That's what I get for living in a generally unpopular timezone...:XD;;

Yeah, on Gaia you get buried under the mountain pile of other people all too easily. :gonk: I know there are those that actually had to repost the same post two or three times sometimes in a conversation so the people they're chatting with can see them without it disappearing under the several tens of posts that are made within a few seconds of posting...:sweat:

Haha, thanks, but there's no need anymore. I wouldn't go back even if they did unban my account. I'd just give away my password to a friend and let them have everything. Menewsha's my virtual home now.

Probably not, then.
Oh, have you heard of the Up Butt Coconut song? It's one of my favorites, the tune is so catchy. :XD

http://youtu.be/VImAGUVd8_4

Hmm...might have to try to find time for it, haven't really had much time to play anything lately. :( I've been dying to play Skyrim for ages but I haven't even managed to get my hands on a copy yet. *facedesk*

Thank the gods we don't have 4Kids here. :gonk:

lo! You listen to it? :XD I need visuals! I could watch it in mute, but I can't do it the opposite way with only sound and nothing to see. :XD
What kind of work do you do? :O

Haha, the characters all certainly have a good sense of attire, I love their clothes! Even if no one would actually wear that on the streets here where I live unless it's at a anime convention. :lol:

I managed to finish it to the 14th (or was it the 15th?) chapter last night. Interesting~ Will wait for the next chapter to be released. :ninja:

Haha, somehow it just became that long...:XD

But nah, we only get 30g max per post. So maybe a little over a hundred gold so far I guess? :P

i see~!! that seems to be the same for almost everyone
to be honest. o 3o it's always easier to talk along with
people who have similar interests~ = u =

chatterbox is a no no~ lol my little sister in real life
was going on gaia and was in a 'if you're the last poster'
thread for two million i think? o 3o anyways, yeah, she's
still going in it strong~ so much spaaam~ lol > u < and
i don't think i'd ever be able to bump that many times
in a row without going even the slightest bit crazy first~

yeah~!! menewsha is so friendly, i feel as thoough i could
pop in to almost any thread and just start chatting~ although
that my only be since i actually got clothing for my avatar..
i felt to awkward doing it nekkid~ but then i got involved
in this awesome charity~ and since then i've had the courage
to post in random threads~ = u = and i hope that your time
zone gets more mene love soon~ lol > u <

i know~ gaia's too vast~ and on top of that, there's so many
trolls and spammers and such.. it's barely fun most of the time~
i liked a forum called 'heaven' on gaia, it was such an awesome
place~ x A x but it's too clicky for me… like, they're always
name dropping their friends and such. terrible, terrible.

i'm glad that you have a new virutal home! menewsha seems like
a good place to make your new home~ <3 it's so nice and paced
here~ i really do love it~

lol that song just makes me feel awkward~ but the coconut is
adorable! o 3o it is a catchy song~ there's a random song
that a friend showed me because it reminded them of me~ o u o
it's called tiny japanese girl go here! o u o

lol o u o i like listening to the voices and music because then
i can see if i'll like the characters and such~ that's an important
part of an anime/story for me~ i need to be able to enjoy their
personalities~ and atmosphere is uuber important to me~ o u ob

and i'd dress like the characters~ i have a really weird sense of
dressing.. it's like, lolita meets preppy. o 3o it's weird. > u <U

and see~ it is worth a read! o u ob i'm watching the anime right
now myself~

lmao! I remember those threads. I doubt it'd ever end. :XD Though, what exactly constitutes as 'last poster'? There's no time frame or anything. They could say that the 'last poster' mean something like the 'last poster to post in this with no new posts for a year' or something. And by then, who would even remember the thread, if it ever happened? What's to say the thread creator is still around even? :? So I tend to avoid those threads.
And let's just say that when I was bumping those two thousand times, I had a lot of time on my hands. :XD Now...no. :sweat:

I was a proud nekkid newbie back then; I'd chat with people even though I'm barely clothed. :XD I even have a thread dedicated to nakedness, so bare avatars are totally welcomed. :rofl:
Might be a bit difficult though, since most countries in the timezones nearby aren't native English speakers, and therefore a less chance of them being on Mene rather than their own language's websites. :sweat:

Name dropping? Like how? :o
Yeah...fell in love with the place like two days after I joined. :XD I quickly settled down after that. :heart: I probably won't join another avatar forum until Menewsha is gone or something. (hopefully it won't)

Haha, yeah, definitely awkward. :lol: Took me a while to get used to it, but the tune is awesome. :XD
Ohh, the guy looks like a man in a Godzilla suit! :XD

Hmm, I guess it's because I don't watch anime much, I usually imagine their voices in my mind, so they often don't turn out to be what I expected of them. Like in the upcoming Berserk anime movie, Griffith's voice was horrible. :gonk: He sounded like a girl. Though I wasn't the only one to feel that...almost everyone I knew and from the comments in the comments section mentioned how horrible his voice was. :XD

Haha, but that's awesome! I've always liked the gothic lolita style, even if I don't wear that. I'd prefer gothic aristocrat. :XD Sort of like the kind Mana wears. But of course I can't afford to actually buy anything. Orz

I'm reading Zetman at the moment. :XD The mangaka sure changed his usual plotstyle a lot. He was originally something more of a light-hearted romance-type, but in Zetman it's waaay darker.

the stipulation was that you had to be the last poster for
24 hours before you were granted the prize~ > u < and the
thread creator was still around~ = u = but yeah, i wouldn't
want to get involved in one. o n o

lol i see! i don't think i've ever had too much time on
my hands~ i'm either creating stories, drawing, or doing
house work because my parents are somewhat lazy~

i see! o 3o that's a really difficult timezone to work
with them. > u <U maybe we can open an international
mene thread! lol and have all different sorts of languages
there~ <3

name dropping as in inviting certain posters to threads,
or droppin the name of their little clique. o n o it really
just iritated me, so, after a month or so of posting there,
i got out. > 3<

lol i like mene~ it's just… i don't know how long the good
conversations {/like this one} will last… so i don't know
how long i'll actually be kept here. o 3o i thrive on
communicatoin and such between other users and myself~ so,
it all just depends! o u ob

lol i thought the guy in the godzilla suit was awesome~ > u <

ahh, i see~ i listen to anime because i'm so busy most of
the time, but if i really love something, i'll read it <3
that's my truest sign of love~ lol in a weird sort of way
to manga/anime <3 however, there are some manga i will never
touch, like the darker than black manga. apparently that
and the second season were horrible. o n o

and i hate when they choose terrible voice actors for things. o no

thank you! > u < i sew most of my own clothing, to be honest~
and i like gothic aristocrat, but lolita is so much easier to
encorporate into every day life without looking like i'm in a
costume <3 and you can make it! it's not all that hard~ <3

really? what's zetman about?? i'm always looking for a good
manga or anime to get into, becaue there's too much sifting to
do on my own~ so, tell me~ > u <

Oh, only 24 hours? :XD That's not too bad...just impossible on a site like Gaia. :lol:

I wouldn't have that much time had I been living at home anyway. I was in college, so there was no one to tell me to get to bed before eleven or midnight, so in my freshman year I completely went bonkers and often stayed up until it was six in the morning. :P;;; I managed to get the time better controlled in the later years...four or five for second year, around four in third year, and roughly two or three in my last year. :XD Now I head to bed at around midnight, though occasionally I still stay up later just to be online...and then pay for it the next day at work. :sweat:

I think that would be quite confusing. :XD I remember there was a Chinese hangout thread a while ago, but it died off pretty quickly. As did most of the Japanese ones, though I think there are still one or two that survived but goes pretty slowly.

Ah. Kind of like how pinging annoys me on Menewsha. :sweat: I mean, I generally don't mind it when people ping me to a thread I've never been to before, but sometimes when I'm right in the thread they're still pinging. Now that gets irritating. I hate the PM popup box. :illgetu:

Aw, find more people to drag into the conversation! :ninja: *gives rope and duct tape to Doll* Or go to lots of hangout threads and stuff to find new people to chat with. I hang around in a few threads, but I haven't found many new ones to join so far. Mostly just kept to the threads I originally joined and then chat with whomever pops into them. :lol:

I'd want one of those suits. :lol: Always thought those dinosaur suits are cute. :XD

I usually check the summary and the art style of a series first before I read it, and will read it for maybe one or two chapters to decide on a feel for it. If someone strongly recommends a series I've never heard of before to me, I might stick to a few more chapters before deciding. But I don't think I'd ever try Darker Than Black, it just doesn't seem to interest me.

Yes! Though usually the original mangaka has a say in these things so they're at least semi-involved in choosing the person who does the voice acting...but still, some of them are just so horrible! :headdesk:

I am horrible at sewing. :XD I tend to poke more holes into my fingers than the clothe. :sweat: I can do very very simple things like making a quilt, but that's about it. Nothing fancy like pants or shirts and stuff. :(

Hmm, I'm not sure if Zetman's drawing style's your type though. :lol: It's very shounen also, and despite it not being too sexual, there are many scenes and angles where the girls are showing their panties and stuff. It's a bit of a more 'mature audience', so there are nudity, but the sex scenes aren't heavy except for the parts where it involves the plot.
Anyway, loooong story short, it's about artificial creatures made originally for the purpose of fighting each other to death for the amusement of humans, and after a while some of them escaped because they resent the humans for forcing them to do that, and the humans created another type of artificial being for the purpose of exterminating before they destroyed the world (or more specifically, the human world, since they're their primary grudge targets after all) It mostly focuses on the two protagonists of the story. The guy who was the artificial being created to destroy the other artificial creatures, and a rich boy who has this extreme sense of 'justice' to the point of making himself a hero suit to go around against evil...though he mostly ended up with fighting the artificial creatures. etc. etc...Too complicated to really explain. :sweat:

lol i know, right~?? o 3o

ahhhhh, i see. o 3o i can't wait for next year, i get to
go off to college and live life in the big city <3
so exciting! o 3o and that sounds like my sleeping pattern
on the weekends and breaks~ lol > u <

ahhh, i see. o 3o on a different site, there's a thriving
international section! o u o it always gets such unique
visitors~ it's gonlie, which is the chinese sister site of
gaia~ but it has an internation section where american
people can go and post, but there's also russians and such
on there~ it's rahter cool! o 3o

pinging is fine~ i like whne people ping me back to threads
that i probably won't visit again, like role play threads,
once said 'good luck' and told the person how i'd like to
role play with them, i just lack their skills~ they pinged
me back and it was cool~ > u < but yes, in thread pinging is
only okay if you don't think the person will see your post. o no
the pm pop up never works for me~ lol it comes up, but then
just brings me to an error page~ o 3o

lol dragging people~!! o 3o so far, the threads that i'm
involved in have good conversation~!! {/duct tapes you to
their side} o u ob i've been to a couple of them… o 3 o
i like going into new threads~ but i love threads that keep
me interested! o u ob

i typically, i just dive in, and if it interests me beyond
that, i look up the summary~ i have to like the art in order
for me to get into it. o 3o and that's fine~ dtb isn't for
everyone~ > u <

i dunno… i just wish that they voiced things better. like,
take for instantce, the japanese voice of edward elric. it's
a girl, and that was fine during the beginning of the series,
but as he got older, should the voice have not changed? o n o

oh, i don't really have a type of drawing style i like~ what
drawing style do you think i like?? lol > u < and i love
shounen, just not uuber long shounen. and i don't mind some
ecchi, so long as it's not raping me constantly with boobs
and panties. o 3o

the basis sounds like something i'd like~ and it also sounds
like something i've already read. have you ever read steel
angel kurumi? i got into that because of my older brothers~
> u < but yeah, it sounds rather cool. o u ob

'pops in to wave at everyone' how goes your easter event?

@Doll: Wow, how do you get up during weekdays? :XD
And college is pretty awesome. A lot more freedom, though depending on the school you might get a ton of assignments and reports and whatnot. :XD;;

Oh! I've heard of it. Checked it out a while ago, but the Simplified Chinese annoyed me to no end (I suck at reading Simplified), so I skimmed a bit and quickly left. :lol:

I always click the Cancel button, and then open it up again in a new tab. :XD I wonder if there's a way to turn the popups off...
What kind of RPs do you usually do? :O

*is stuck to the side of a thread* Meep! :o!
I don't check out that many new threads nowadays, I used to though....but lately, I'm a bit too busy so I just stick to the ones I'm more familiar with with closer friends. :lol:

Hmm...well, Edward might be a special case, since he's technically underdeveloped due to his growth being both his own and also his brother's, so maybe his vocal cords just haven't reached puberty yet? :XD

Uhh, I dunno, the generic-not-too-shounen-type-of-drawing-style? :XD I kind of based it off of Durarara and Fullmetal Alchemist's drawing styles. :P
Hm, no, I haven't read that before...I looked it up and the drawing style's not the type I'm more used to reading either. :o The summary on Wikipedia is very short, maybe you could summarize it better for me of what the manga's about? :XD
You can read Zetman on mangareader, though it only goes up to around 150 chapters...on some Chinese websites I've found it's up to chapter 177.



@Star: Good I guess, I got pretty much everything I wanted from the shop. :)

Hey you thread!

Lels.

hey star~!! o u o {/waves back}
the event goes well for me~ i
haven't had the chance to get everything
i wanted, but that's fine~ = u =
and hey surreal~! o u ob

@antagonist; through sheer force of will! lol xD

i just wish i could get rid of the pop up forever. o`n'o
and i do all sorts of rp's~ i'm mostly into the male x
male stuff, but if either a friend or a person whom
seems like an awesome rp-er comes along, i'll do almost
any sort of genre with them. o u o i'm not picky with
plot or theme, just characters~ as long as i like whom
i'm playing and whom i'm playing with, it's all good~

lol this is true~ but did you watch concqurer of shambala?
they kept the same voice actor and he's supposed to be
18 in the movie. it literally drove me insane~ lol > u <

lol i'm into all types of drawing styles~ i do have
favorites, mind you, but usually shounen mangas have
good art to me~ except for one piece, but that manga
is supposed to have very cartoon-y art anyways~ > u <
AND ARE YOU KIDDING!? i just looked up the art… it's
so gorgeous~!! @ A @ i love it~ q u q

and i'll just ask my friend's parents to translate for me~
myuuuhahahahahahaaaa~ > u <

but yeah, that style is so amazing~ x 3 x i envy anyone who
can draw in that style~
and i'm just putting this out here~ i detest shoujo
style manga. detest. other than the males, the femals
just annoy me to no end. gah. kill them all, man. > 3<

and the manga for darker than black i have not read~ it
was an anime originally~ it actually won an award for
being one of the best originally anime creations out there~
and i haven't read the manga out of respect for the anime.
the manga has an almost entirely different story than
the anime, so, it's not the same thing as what i watched…
so i wouldn't know how to summarize it up for oyu. o uoU

the anime i could though… but then there's the second
season… gah, i hate when things get bad when they have
so much potential~~ x A x {/dies of angst}

Harrow ~

//gets in

Hullo! 8D

@Doll: Haha, I do that a lot too, though I usually tend to fall asleep somewhere along the day later on...:XD;;

Hmm...most of the RPs I've been in flopped pretty quickly, so I'm not sure what kind I do best, but I like doing fantasy stuff, and zero romance. Because I suck at it. :XD

No, I haven't...I've only read the manga. :XD I think I might've seen the anime appear a few times on TV, but they were Chinese-dubbed and I paid little attention to it...

I think One Piece might've started out that way, but lately the style's been more and more 'serious', if you know what I mean. :XD
And well, yeah, it's definitely 'pretty', but it's not the kind I like. Vassalord and Yami no Matsuei (barring the horrendous thing that is volume 12) are other types of drawing styles that I like and prefer.
Oh and it's not up to chapter 177, my bad, it's chapter 187. :sweat: Wonder when the next chapter would be out...

I dislike the majority of shoujo manga, but there are a few that I can tolerate, and very very few that I like. 粉紅系少年 is one rare example of a 'shoujo' that I like, featuring a guy who has 'feminine' tastes. (likes to cook, sew, clean, ...all the stereotypical things a girl 'should like', but doesn't dress up like one, and is heterosexual) Most others...well, let's just say I want to strangle just about every character in it.

Oh. :O Darker Than Black seems to be rather popular, but I don't suppose I'd ever watch or read it...I prefer sticking to the originals, but don't have time to watch animes.

Haha, like Kuroshitsuji? :P

@ surreal;; hiii~!

@ moon;; hey~! {/waves}

@ antagonist;; lol i can't nap during the day, it's
almost impossible for me to do that~ so i run perfectly
fine on little to no sleep. o 3o but i don't like doing
it~ lol i'm rather giggly when i don't get a lot of
sleep, so, it's not much different than me who has had
enough sleep. o 3o

i've only been in one major role play, and it was a gang
induced slice of life that focuses mostly on the world,
the relationships between people, and it was so sad. q n q
i ended up being half of the role play because so many
people {/including the creator} dropped it. o n o it made
me angry that they did, but they were in university, so
we just finished it up <3 it was quite the awesome rp~

we could do a one on one some time if you were ever intersted~
i don't mind romance, but don't find it neccissary. o x o
and fantasy is always at the top of my 'let's do it!' list~ = u =

ahh, i see. the manga is quite good~ actually enjoy it!
there are two differnt anime for fullmetal alchemist~!!
there's just fullmetal alchemist which follows the manga
up until volume 7 then just takes a random turn and is
totally different, then there's brotherood which follows
the manga exactly because it was such a popular franchise~

i think i get what you mean~ i may give it a shot, i don't
know, the art will still throw me off~ i enjoy fairy tale
by him, which is worth it for me. o u o but i haven't
really had the chance to look too much into it. o x o

vassalord! i love that mangaka~ chrono is quite amazing <3
if you like their style, then you should look into shinsengumi
imon peacemaker <3 i love the manga, but it's going to
stop being produced in the u.s. because tokyo pop is shutting
down. {/sighs} but i love vassalord~ * ¬ *

eh, i don't like that one~ lol > u <U i'm picky, and like
only certain genres, but even then, i'm uuber picky within
that genre too. o x o i think it's called otomen in american~
and i hate shoujo manga other than alice 19th. i actually
liked the whole thing because their love wasn't annoying. o x o
and it was used as a good plot device, like, it caused the
sister to become evil and fueled the plot in an action-y way~

and it is~ lol then don't watch it~ o u o i was just informing
you about it's origins and such~

y-yes. q n q i think that i'll just stick to the first season…
and the manga. o x o

and, just wondering, have you ever looked into avatar the last
air bender? it's a korean animated nickalodean cartoon series~

Oh, busy work? D:
I was like that on my last job, and it was too stressful so I eventually quit after a month. I constantly had a headache, and I could barely sit down so my feet are always hurting, and the environment is nearly constantly stilled with screaming children. x __x

Wow. I haven't been in large ones like that before, let along finish an RP. xD They nearly always just sort of...die, on their own, after a while. Going to start on one recently though, and hopefully this time it'll be going somewhere. @_@

Sure~ o wo Do you have a plotline of sorts? I've been kind of brain-dead on plotlines lately, so my mind's drawing a blank at the moment. ^^;;

Yeah, I recall seeing posters on the Brotherhood thing and wondering what it was about. xD I'd thought the original was the 'original' and followed the manga, but it turns out it was the Brotherhood that actually followed it. > A>;

lol, Fairy Tail isn't drawn by Eiichirou Oda sensei, it's by Mashima Hiro sensei. xD Their drawing styles are somewhat similar though, yeah.

Peace Maker Peace Maker Peace Maker...I swear I remember reading it somewhere before, but can't for the life of me remember what it's about. >___>;; I'll see if I can find it somewhere online and read it again later...
Vassalord stopped at around volume 4 here, if I remember correctly. Last I heard there doesn't seem to have been any new releases in quite a while either. :c I remember it being first released back when I was in high school, and now after almost six or so years it's still only at volume 4.

Haha, same here. XD I'm very picky when it comes to shoujo. I think one of the reasons I like the Pink Guy thing (I couldn't find the English name for the darn series) was because it was deliberately defying all those 'laws' of gender. Like how the girl was great at martial arts, fighting, trekking, ...but sucks at cooking, sewing, and cleaning. Her room was full of all those 'passionate' statements about conviction, willpower, and other judo-like stuff, while the guy has a room full of little decorations, laces, frills, and other sparkly 'girl' stuff. I like series where the girl isn't useless or weak and can handle her own. xD

I know, it's cool~ ^^ If I happen to see it on TV I'll watch it, but I haven't watched TV in quite a while...xDD;;

Yeah. Definitely sticking with the manga. o no The zombie arc started out pretty 'Wtf' for me, but in later scenes, the Undertaker was so cool. * 0*

Hmm...I've seen it around, but don't know much about it aside from the movie. (which basically = the very very basics xD)

Hi everyone! How's it going? 8DD

WHOA.
I really need to start coming in here more often...
Thank you all for coming in and chatting.

If this is okay I'll tell you some updates about myself.

So last week I went on a choir trip and literally sang for two days straight.
It was so much fun! I made new friends, saw old ones, and got closer to the friends I have now.
And On April 10th my cat Bunny had kittens! It was her first litter of kittens, and she had 8 of them!!
There are 4 grey ones and 4 black ones. 4 have tails and 4 don't have tails.
(Just so you know Bunny has a stub for a tail, and she is grey.)
We don't know who the Papa is....
AND....
I got Skyrim a bit ago. It's okay. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I still love playing it.
Yesterday I played .hack//Infection I FREAKIN LOVE THAT GAME!!
UMMM...
What else....
I've been on Crysandrea this whole time.
SAD, I KNOW. I'M SORRY!!
I bought (okay so my boyfriend bought) Nikki Sixx's book The Heroin Diaries for me.
I adore and look up to Nikki Sixx and adore the CD that goes along with the book.

AND.... (yes there is more xD)
I'm thinking I might revamp this place and add more Tobi.

If ever you are on Crysandrea and want to find me my name on there is: Kenome MoMoshima.

I love you all!!
(Hopefully next time I'm on when everybody else is on xD)

keno! :glomp:

congrats on the baby kitties, they sound really cute!

llonka!
Thanks! I'll try and get pictures of them soon!

And omg your avatar looks amazing!
I so wish I could donate sometimes!

aww i'd love to see a picture! i love baby kitties! :hug:

thanks! i love this new CI!

If I could donate, I would!!
Lol

And I'll be sure to get one soon.

Btw, how are you?
