Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 19 hours ago

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

If you have a lot of money

1 year 4 months ago

"If i had a lot of money, i would probably go do a lot of things that i always wanted to do. such as travel around the world, go to italy, do some more things for my friends ~

the world shouldn't be all about money, but it's fortunate that a lot of the world has to do with it ~ and it makes life a heck of a lot easier."

Cheating In Your Exams

"As i'm sure most people would agree, cheating, in general, is just morally wrong. especially for an exam or any big test x_x

but it's not to say that i haven't cheated before =/ but i don't like it ~

i might or mightn't cheat on an exam, but honestly speaking, i really hope i would not ~"

Drink? Or drunk?

1 year 4 months ago

"In my opinion, beer is disgusting. champagne, unless it is good champagne, tastes like crappy white wine. wine is exquisite though. i go for merlot, zinfandel, burgundy ~ all pretty good stuff =)

the other two just don't really suit my tastes. i would never drink to get drunk, but a lot of other teens my age don't feel the same way >_>;; i only drink when my parents say i can, too ~"

[/quote]

I would just like to congratulate you ^^ I believe it's the right thing to do to get rid of preconcepts, religions taboos and society rules and start thinking for once. I respect most often those who can stand their point and argue with their own minds rather then following some random source or philosofy. I'm also that way, though most often I find that what I believe in is very close to spiritism (kardecism) and/or budhism, I'm neither, so I have my own convictions.
[/quote]

Thank you, Caoibrz ~ I'm glad that you think so. ^^ Indeed, I've had just way too many people try to convert me to their religion before, and to be perfectly honest, I had originally just made what I thought up to give myself an excuse not to be converted. After a while, I really had begin to believe in what I said.

Ah, well, indeed, you need to base your belief off something, which is completely understandable and of course there will always have been something thought up before your own belief that has been there before. [Being so many people living before and so many minds, not to mention, one can't really believe that they were the first to think up of something] -although that could be argued, but I'll let it be for another conversation topic.

That is... rather interesting though, and I read through some of your post as well.. mostly skimmed, and I do hope you don't mind me pointing out a few things ~

[quote]About the whole topic, I find VERY VERY funny how people love to search for proof and logic while discussing topics on reincarnation, while they yet believe on their own religions out of faith ... go figure.

As mentioned by some other posters, religion is not only controversial, but it's all based on theories, logic and faith. No one will ever prove anything, and I DO MEAN will never prove anything,[/quote]

Indeed, I don't understand it why either, myself since religion is religion to me ~ You can't just go and stick proof and logic to it, because well... I apologise to ANYONE who'll be offended by this but religion... is fiction to me. Even my own religion... is fiction... to me, because I agree- A person CANNOT prove anything about religion no matter how hard they try.

Religion is based off of personal beliefs and off of what a person believes will happen after death, but after death, a person can't really tell you what happens, ne? cuz they're dead. Thus, the reason why I say religion is fiction because it cannot be proved true or false. It just can't. [Once again, my apologies if this offends anyone.]

Just another two cents from me ~"

Reincarnation

2 years 11 months ago

"Alright, first off, I hope not to offend anyone here with what I'm going to say. >.<;;; Religion, as I'm sure most of us know, is a very controversial issue, and the last thing I want to do is cause a massive arguement. =/ But here goes ~

Personally, I'm not Christian, Catholic, Muslim, a Buddhist, or anything for that matter. Technically, I'd be an agnostic, but in a sense, I kind of made up my own religion. Some of you may laugh at that and say "Haha... she's just one of those others who want to be the leader of some cult and make everyone believe she's God[dess]" but actually... what I believe is more of... To each his/her own.

Now, let me explain... In my personal belief, I believe that everyone will end up the way the believe they will.. to each his or her own. If a person believes in a Heaven and a Hell, that person will go to a Heaven or a Hell. If a person believes in God, there is a God for that person. If a person believes in reincarnation, they will be reincarnated. If a person believes that when they die, they'll become nothing but the memories of the people who loved them, that's the way that they'll end up. -etc.

Although, I personally... don't really know what to believe in. My life perspective right now is more of just to live it out the best that I can until my time comes. I'll end up getting what I deserve in the end, though don't get me wrong, I'm not the type who're into the fate/destiny thing. I just think that things will all work out as it should and for the best. I want to live my life with no regrets and enjoy it the most I can. I could care less right now if there was a heaven or a hell or reincarnation. Life is full of too much to be worrying about what may happen after it.

But to get back onto topic... reincarnation... is a possibility, and for those who believe in it just may be reincarnated. I, too, have heard many stories about and been told about a person living many lives before and in the future, and to be honest, it is quite an interesting thought. There might or might not be... who knows? ^^"

things that make you cry

3 years 3 days ago

"The feeling I get whenever everything in the world just becomes too much and I just want to scream. The times I want to hold on to the person I love the most for comfort but I know I can't because of the distance that separates us. And the times I see the people I care most about hurt or upset... and it feels like no matter what I do, I can't help them."

What do you look for in a person?

3 years 3 weeks ago

"A friend - a person who I can trust, who I can talk to easily, who knows that I won't tell them everything about me but also knows that it doesn't mean that I HATE them, and someone who I can hold at least one intelligent conversation with.

A boyfriend - a person who has all the traits of a friend, but who cares about me, will be willing to be there whenever I need him, someone who I can love, and someone who is kind, sweet, and thoughtful. He doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, but to me, my boyfriend is and all these things and more, but I won't list all his traits. =X <You know who you are. ^.~ ~<3 emoticon>

A spouse - [I'm not here yet either, but wth] a person who has all the traits of a friend and all the traits of a good boyfriend, someone who will stay by my side no matter what happens, and someone who I'll never lose my feelings for, and just someone who'll love and care for me until the end. Simple as that ~"

Have u ever feel betrayed by the one u love?

3 years 3 weeks ago

"Well, ping... there's nothing wrong with him asking about your life, but you are right that he should not be PESTERING you about your personal life. As long as he's not harassing you, I'd personally think it's alright.

It's your choice whether or not you feel that you can trust him again. No one else can tell you what's right on wrong. Just do what's right for you. If you're willing to give him another chance and aren't afraid of risking being hurt again, go for it. If you can't find a way for yourself to forgive him and trust him again, ah well. It depends on how much faith you have in him and if your willing to try it again. 'Nuff said."

What is your favorite Studio Ghibli Movie?

3 years 3 weeks ago

"Gotta love all of Studio Ghibli's films. Each has their own unique plot and characters that really just take you into the story.

I can't say I have a favourite, but if I had to choose, Nausicaa Valley of Wind, was definitely the best in my book. Loved the music and there was just something about it that really captivated me.

My Neighbor Totoro was the first one I ever saw and I loved that one too. Castle in the Sky was AWESOME. Spirited Away was probably the most modern one, and I have to agree with you guys both when I say Princess Mononoke was a classic that I'll never forget. Kiki's Delivery Service was a cute one, too. ^^ I really want to see Howl's Moving Castle though I haven't gotten a hold of that one yet, and oh my gosh! for whoever hasn't seen Grave of Fireflies, that one really made me cry.

I'd recommend any one of Studio Ghibli's films to anyone who hasn't seen them before. I loved every single one of them. "

What is your biggest fear?

3 years 3 weeks ago

"Wow, I'm afraid of a lot of things... if I was to name them all, I'd probably be here for a while. ^^; Let's see~ I'll name a few though. xD

+Spiders
+Centipedes
+Cockroaches
+Caterpillars
+Worms
+Silverfish
+Probably any type of insect or creature that is small and can crawl =S such as mentioned above
+heights [yet I love rollercoasters]
+drowning [yet I love swimming]
+being talked about behind my back
+being pretended to be liked when I'm hated =.= [don't ask]
+being told about every aspect of me that is wrong
+having everything that people dislike about me being told to me
+not being told what people don't like about me [I know- completely contradicts the two fears mentioned above... but I'm weird like that =S]
+being alone...
+opening up about myself [kind of more of... don't want to appear self-centered or egotistical]
+being judged or stereotyped

Out of all these though [which I know is a lot] my biggest fear would probably be losing the one person I care most about [corny or pathetic as it is...] but yea ... So there ya go. ^ Probably more than you needed to know but =S"

Sex & Virginity

3 years 4 weeks ago

"Probably a bit too young to be thinking about such things, but in today's sociey, it's not really a surprise that teenagers my age are already imagining what it's like, masturbating, or even engaging in sexual intercourse.

Virginity to me is something that should be cherished and not lost to some random guy just due to hormonal desires. Personally, I want to wait until after marriage to have sex. My first time is something that I'd like to share with the one person that I truly would give my life for, to live with forever, and the person that I love with all my heart and even more. If the person sitting next to me doesn't feel the same way, that's his or her choice, not mine. I'm just stating the way that I feel and believe. Some would call me old fashioned or naive even perhaps and others might agree with my view. However so, I'm willing to wait and despite what anyone says, I will.

It's something that I've noticed as well... the pressure to STAY a virgin is more put on the female portion of society than the male. It really isn't fair, but I think it has something to do with the girl becoming pregnant and not the guy. Yet still... it really isn't fair in school when a guy goes to one of his friends and says "I did it with her last weekend," and all the guys are like "Wow... Dude, that's awesome. Could you hook me up with someone?" and then when a rumours go around about a girl having sex with a guy in school, the girl has crap said about her behind her back about her being a slut. And this isn't just with sex as well, I've seen this happen with girls who are "apparently" going out with more than one guy and been called a whore or a slut while being a player for a guy is something that's <impressive> or <cool>. It's pathetic... but I guess that's just how things work now. It's not something that I encourage or agree with, but really, I'd like to know what's been done about it if anything at all.

My apologies if I've repeated what anyone has said earlier, but I didn't have enough time to look through the rest of the posts. =S Keep in mind that I'm not trying to change anyone's view on the subject but merely stating the way I see it as. If you don't feel the same way, I respect that and that's your business, not mine."

abortion

3 years 4 weeks ago

"Alright, most of the people who have answered to this thread has said that if you don't want to get a girl pregnant or get pregnant, stick with abstinence. The thing is... what if it was rape? A baby can ruin the rest of a girl's life. If it's a teenager, that girl might've wanted to go to college, finish high school even, find a stable job and be successful with a career after getting a degree. It isn't fair that just because some idiot decided that he wanted to rape you, you have to suffer and go through childbirth.

Personally, I believe that abortion should be an open option. Even if a person had unprotected sex and got pregnant, it is her choice. =/ I'm against killing, myself... but I still believe in letting a person choose whether or not they want to give life or not. Some of you might look at it as murder, but I personally look at it as letting a person choose what they want to do with their life."
