The card she had was
'Take a drink out of a strangers drink without asking permission'
Not excatly a funny story, but when dazed after realiing Kingdom Hearts is Ice Cream, and Orginization 13 is 31 flavors backwards, it makes it funnier than it ever should be.

Could someone in the SJ area do an Inuyasha costume for me?

Pm/IM if you can

I might be doing Black-haired Inuyasha...
however, I can't sew so its all up to whether I can get someone to make it for me...o.o

ED:Is that Jets new girlfriend?
Spike:Na, she's too young
Faye:Maybe he has a 'thing'
Spike:In that case, she's too old

From Eva(Spoiler-esque)
Kaworu:You are extremely afraid of any kind of initial contact aren't you? Are you that afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid the betrayal of their trust. But while you might not be hurt that way, you mustn't forget that you must endure the loneliness. Man can never completely erase this sadness because all men are fundamentally alone.

Shinji:It's time.

Kaworu:Time to go?

Shinji: Yeah, I have to go to bed.

Kaworu:With me?

Shinji:No! I think you have your own room, that they gave you I mean.

Kaworu:Okay. You know, pain is something that man must endure in his heart. And since the heart fills pain so easily, some men believe that life is pain. You are delicate like glass, that is, your heart is.

Shinji: It is?

Kaworu:Yes, this is worth earning my empathy.

Shinji:Empathy?

Kaworu: I'm saying I love you.

Hot Topic-It's all about the music.


Thats funny. I don't very much even like naruto (its decent, far too overhyped, IMO) But I laugh at all those who now get Naruto via HT.


I actually laugh at anyone who gets anime stuff from HT...There are soo many better places to go.

The way u say notation when moving a piece is simple. U say which kind of piece and say which square u want it to move to(usually only one can move to the desired place).
Havent any of u seen Harry Potter?

I don't wish to sound rude, but the harry potter chess game did not show much, and the are often times when multiple pieces can do the same thing

From a friend, 'Goturouge'

If anyone here plays chess to any lengths they'll know all about algebraic notation. Not in math, but chess. I'll explain in case some of you have no idea what I'm typing about.


All right, obviously that's a chess board. Notice the letters and numbers surrounding it--that's where the notation comes from. If white, for their first move, were to push the king pawn two squares, if would look something like this:

1.) e4

Black would then make his move. Let's say he decides to draw his knight to threaten that pawn.

1.) . . .  Nf6

(Note: The ellipsis shows that that move follows whites 1.) move.)

Do you kind of get how it works now? I'll explain further.

All the pieces, except the pawns, have a capital letter to represent themselves before the letter-number indicating where they have moved. I'll give an example indicating where white's pieces are (exempting pawns) before anything has been moved at all (their initial positions).

Rooks - Ra1, Rh1
Knights - Nb1, Ng1
Bishops - Bc1, Bf1
Queen - Qd1
King - Ke1

With pawns you don't need to put any capital letter before them, simply type the square you've moved them to.

When a piece is attacking another piece (please, please, please, understand what that means), a lower case 'x' is used. Nxd6, Qxf2, Bxa8, etc.

I'm assuming everyone understands how this works, regardless of how much it seems I'm rambling.

There's one more little bit I want to explain, then I'll get on to the real meaning of this post. Let's say have your knights on d4 and f4 and you want to indicate moving one of them to e6. Well, they can both move to e6, how do we knock which one is being moved? Simple, if you're moving the d4 knight the notation looks something like this:

Nd-e6 (or, if attacking, Ndxe6)

And if it were the f4 pawn it looks like this:

Nf-e6 (or, if attacking, Nfxe6)

It will work the same for pawns, but only if two pawns are able to attack the same square.

Understand? I hope I haven't over complicated this, or over looked how complicated it actually is. If there are any questions just let me know.



This should explain it, questions can be asked to me and I will answer as best I can.

ALSO, for anyone who cares-we can play chess via notation on the boards or through PM, which would both help in learning the notation and help in skill of Chess ;)

Back to notation-I'm probably going to study up on that sort of stuff, if you want I can look/ask some friends for a quick how-to guide and teach those in need of teaching for when this all comes around to happening...

I'll take Black king, if not already taken (and if so, black knight...THE BLACK KNIGHT ALWAYS WINS)
And to support the maybe of my teams 'cosplay' I might be a ninja for the day...

I'll ask this early, but does everyone know chess notation?
A-g, 1-8 (I think, not remembering well)
or will there be a teaching session beforehand? (this is for the cosplay chess, not the tabletop one)

I'm interested, in either the cosplay chess or the tabletop one...

-zaggy, chess freak. Current win/loss-24/13

Find someone adult-like (teacher, whatnot) thats willing to let you use that room. Helps if they like it aswell. also, it would help to have friends/people who are also interested (1 or 2 at the least) and flyers/school announcements.

From the straightforward viewpoint, anime is

A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex.

Strictly speaking, that is the dictionary's definition of anime.

Using the first bit,

A style of animation developed in Japan

Anything drawn in that style is anime; Not per~se good anime, but anime nonetheless.
Personally speaking, I've seen some decent rogue american anime, and can, at times, find it difficult to tell whether I'm reading something from Korea, Viatnam, America, or Japan.

And to prove the people who say it has to be made in japan to be anime, I propose this kind of situation

Koge Donbo or CLAMP go to america for a while. while there, one makes 2 new different series, sends 1 to japan to be made, and 1 to somewhere in america to be made. Is only the japanese one an anime now?


-Zagato; Dictonary says Anime stylized by sex? WTF?
