Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 16 hours ago

^nat
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.

How does you family feel about Anime?

3 months 1 week ago

"My parents dislike anime. They said that I waste my precious time on nonsense stuff. And every time I watch Inuyasha, they always have something to criticize on. I really like anime, the art is good and some stories are very meaningful. It makes me cry. Why can't they see that. Yes, there are anime which are just absolutely nonsense. But I always watch meaningful anime. My dad all day just talks about my unworthy hobbies. He said that I should pursue other things more useful and educational than anime. And if I listen to anime music, he said that how can I listen to something I can't understand. Doesn't matter, as long as the music is good. My cousin was the one who introduced me to anime. My first anime was Inuyasha. It was fantastic, especially the love between Inuyasha and Kagome and Kikyo. Maybe I still get addicted to anime until I grow up. I think I'm so silly. It's funny to picture me watching cartoon when I am thirty. Oh gosh, I am hopeless"

Time travelling

3 months 1 week ago

"90% I think it's impossible. 10% I think it's possible. If you tell me to believe in human's ability to fly then I can believe in that but traveling through time is kind of fictionous.
But seriously, if people DO travel through time, that is not too good. Imagine you return to history and fix it. History is what happens in the past and you should leave it in the past. There are things that we human should learn to let go and give up. I think it's wonderful if we can travel to the beginning of the Earth to have a look of ancient organisms. That must be cool! But still, we should face the fact that they don't belong in our time. If I want to stop something, I would like to stop Hitler's massacre of the Jew. That was so horrible and tragic. "

Global Warming

3 months 1 week ago

"First of all, I believe in what the scientists said. Even if they're wrong, I still think that people should change their destructive way of life. Deforestation, pollution, my gosh, I'm so sick of all these. I really feel sorry for the animals.
Even if it's to late to rectify our mistake, we still have to do it. You just can't sit there and say "It's too late anyway, so even if we fix it, it doesn't matter". Of course it matters, more or less. I have heard global warming for many years but I see no fixing. People still live their wasteful life and the environment still suffers. I notice that the weather is really weird this year. Like winter starts early and it's not very cold. Is it because the Earth becomes so warm?
I try to save water, electricity, paper, bags, and other things. But why do I still see people throw away the things that they still can use. Is their luxurious comfort more important than saving the environment? My gosh, I am so mad. "

Be your sex or not?

3 months 1 week ago

"I love myself and I wish no change. Every gender has its advantages and disadvantages.
Besides, you have lived for many years in this gender and it shapes your personality. Suddenly, you change to the other gender, it will be confusing and your personality is twisted.
For example, girls like ribbons and make up and all. But if they are guy, does that mean they have to abandon what they like? Guys are supposed to be more aggressive and less emotional than girls. If they are girls, does that mean they have to be nurturing and emotional? Haha, that must be so funny to watch.
But in my opinion, it doesn't matter if you are a girl or a boy, just act the way you feel comfortable. I hate the rule "boys should not cry". My gosh, they are humans. Why shouldn't they express what they feel? "

Looks or personality?

3 months 1 week ago

"I believe that personality will win over look. When you are captured by someone's personality, your love will last longer. That is "a beautiful soul under the ugly mask" rather than "an ugly soul under the beautiful mask". I hate the kind of love that is "first-sight". My, it's so fake and it disgusts me. And songs nowadays are like "sexy, hot, blah blah...". You call that love? If some guy likes me just because of my outside appearance, that guy better disappears. Well, unless he has an extraordinary personality, I'll love him. But well, I never really in love yet, so I'm not so sure about that. Maybe I'll do the opposite of what I said. If so, I really want to slap myself. "

Have you ever been hit on by someone of the same sex?

3 months 1 week ago

"Wow! Unbelievable! Five times! That's a lot!
How did you act that people think you are that...?
Gosh, thanks goodness that it never happens to me. If it does, I'll be like staring at the person for eternity. Even a boy asking me out, I'm not allowed to date anyway. My parents will kill me if they know I have a boyfriend. And if they know I have a girlfriend, they'll be speechless. Haha, I should get a girlfriend so that I can see my parents' shocked expression.
It doesn't matter which gender asks me out, I'll still refuse them or kick them away. Right now, I'm not interested in the so-called "love". I will only date someone who I really "love". And that is in the far future. "

MONEY = everything???

3 months 1 week ago

"It's funny to me that you thought money was a cure-all. I'm not the kind of person who is obsessed with money. In fact, I didn't spend even a cent in one year. I felt that I am happy with my life. Besides, I understand that I can't buy the whole world. So instead working so hard for money, why don't I stop my greed? It doesn't matter how hard I work, I will never get enough money because human greed is bottomless. I used to be spoilt and I wanted to buy everything but gradually I didn't care about possessing anything at all.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's death but it's not just about LUCK. It's also about technology advancement. Even her family could pay at high price, but if there was no drug to cure the disease, then money is just useless.
Life is not a fairy tale, good people don't necessarily have happy ending. A good mom isn't necessarily not killed by her children. Life is fair but people make it unfair. "

Are you anyone's favorite person?

7 months 4 weeks ago

"Your question makes me want to be a favorite person. I don't really know. Maybe not. It's hard to be a favorite person. You have to be a model and stuff. I can be a model in doing bad things, yay! I hope I'm a favorite person in my boyfriend's heart but that's unlikely. A favorite person in my parent's heart? That is more unlikely. All they did is shouting at me and criticizing me, my look, my grade, my manner...I wonder if I was born uglily, maybe I got the ugly genes from my parents. It is even less likely that I am favorited by my best friends. We constantly had different points of view. Jeeze, to think of it. I'm no body's favorite. Too sad, too bad. I'll be my favorite then. "

Cartoon Network

7 months 4 weeks ago

"I don't watch much cartoon myself. But I don't think it's that bad. I don't need laugh and funniness as much as other people do. As long as it's good enough to watch I don't mind. I never find cartoon interesting anyway. Cartoons such as the Simpsons and Family Guy offend me, upset me so much that I can't laugh. Maybe I'm too moral, haha. I wonder why the television don't promote more educational channel. Nowadays people are dirtyminded thanks to the TV. "

The kill Button...

7 months 4 weeks ago

"Are you crazy? I'm not crazy enough to test the probability that it may kill me or my family. What a random thought you have? Would you push the button yourself? don't tell me you will. And I don't have a killing urge in me. Anyone who is bored enough to test with life and death should be sent to mental hospital or they'll kill the whole human race. You should ask the question like this: If you can kill someone and you know who it is, will you push the button even if you will later pay a high price for it and you don't know what the price is?
And I don't think it looks good to have a button on your head "chuckle""

Falling Asleep?

7 months 4 weeks ago

"Wow, 3 to 4 hours are unheard of. Do you have sleep disorder or something? My maximum waking hour on the bed is 2 hours and that's it. After that I slept without knowing. I fall asleep very quickyly during my midday nap, about 5 minutes and I'm gone into a dream. I can feel myself drifting.
Have you ever read Doreamon? When Nobita has problems sleeping at night because he slept too much at day, Doreamon used devices from his magical pocket to help Nobita sleep. First, you just sit there and count the sheeps jumping through the fences, in your case you can find something else, like count off the letters in the book. Gosh, that must make your eyes go blind. Then throw dust into your eyes, I wonder if it works in reality, likely not, you'll go blind too. What else, stare at a spinning wheel, but the simplest method is taking sleeping bill haha.
All right, enough choke. In my opinion, you should create a stable sleeping schedule for yourself. Not too late and not too early. At night, sleep at ten, wake up at seven. And don't do anything that make you too hyper like watching a movie or using the computer. "

Low grades?what to say to your parents?

7 months 4 weeks ago

"The one who is taking care of my education is my father. He is even more scary than my mom. Last year, I got an F and he was extremely scary. I was shocked at myself. D was my lowest but a F is out of belief. He was shouting like hell at me. After that, I studied more and my grade improved. And I got As constantly, my father seemed approve. But then it started to go down again, to B, but that was good enough in my opinion. But my greedy father wasn't satisfied. He kept asking which mistake did I do and he spent 2 hours teaching me. Gosh, it was like torture, I was daydreaming. My father only shout at me on occasion when problem was serious. He only scold me a little. when the problem can be disregarded. He often asked me why I did it wrong and he would reteach me. He just said next time try to avoid it. "

Ciphers, Codes, Encryption, Secret Messages

9 months 2 weeks ago

"OH yes we do use codes of course. But only on small matters. Like when girls gossip right in front of the people they dislike, they use code to malign and then giggle. I do not understand why some people do that since if you gossip about people right in fron of them and don't want them to know, then it would be better to gossip behind their back. People sometimes do nonsensical things I guess.
Other type of code is when someone prevents another to tell something he/she shouldn't say. Like my brother kick me under the table right before I slip something important to my parents. I'm not a good secret keeper, someone told me something and I would accidentally said it out right away. "

imagine u have a voodoo doll that can hurt your enemy..

"If I have a voodoo doll I'll punch and crush it all I want and then drip my blood on it and put a curse on it. Just kidding, I feel so evil. If I really hate someone I don't do anything, just feel anger and that's all. I have a bunch of dolls in my drawer and everytime I open it, I felt freaky. The dolls are pretty but their eyes resemble cats' eyes, very scary. I felt more scared when I went to sleep after I watched a scary movie. I would lie their and imagine someone kills me and maybe the dolls would kill me. Wow, I really have an imagination. "

When do you feel SENTIMENTAL???

9 months 2 weeks ago

"Sentimental, I felt it a lot. Like something is overflow inside of me. I can't describe it but I felt it sometimes especially in rainy days or when I saw overcast sky. It also reminds me of my past memories and the way I used to live when I feel the wind or triggered by something. Somehow I never like the midday atmosphere. I love the morning and the afternoon atmosphere. Usually at those times of day that I daydream a lot. I'm also a daydream type. One of my classes are really cold and by distracting me from the coldness, I drift to somewhere else. It feels like eternity when you daydreaming. I feel good when daydream. "

Japan or USA

9 months 2 weeks ago

"I think the United States, not that I discriminate Japan. Japan has good technology overall. They have great devices in most neccessary things and even luxurious things. But talking about really high technology like rocket and those complicated stuffs, I think it's the United States. The United States are especially good at warfare weapons. But that's not good, since they easily have excuse to attack other countries. I think the United States have good technology also because too many migrants come in and those migrants distribute ideas. Many people work for the government too, like being a military engineer. "

Are we meant to live forever?

9 months 2 weeks ago

"I'm thankful that I don't live forever. Most people live only less than a century and they already complained about how their life turn out wrong. Human is greedy and always unsatisfied, that's why it makes their life hard. People wish for immortality and the religions talk all about incarnation and heaven and stuffs but I don't wish for those things. Imagining that we live forever, then we have to experience feelings such as sadness, axiety, anger, hatred, greed, and happiness. We tend to feel negative feelings more than positive feelings. I bet there is only a tiny number of people who would be happy almost all their life. Beside, living forever wouldn't make your life meaningful. When we have too much things like life, we start to forget how to treasure them. And being afraid of death is not all bad, at least humans should have something they should fear and have something to confine them. If humans can live forever, I hope that no baby will be born. The population already increase rapidly, if more human then we need to move to the ocean. Nothing lasts forever, some last short, some last long. It's just the cycle of life. If we live forever, it will break the natural cycle and I'll feel sorry for Earth. "

Can you live without your cell phone?

9 months 2 weeks ago

"Wow, I wonder who wouldn't live without a cell phone. I never call anyone on my cell phone, although I have one. I rarely call anyone, except in emergency or for a really neccesary thing. And if I ever call my friends on cell phone, they wouldn't like me to call them. I will survive without a cell phone. Its existence is unnoticed to me. Now I take that back, maybe I will not survive without a cell phone since cell phone can be a great convenience when something comes to emergency, for an example when I'm in danger or my car is stuck in the middle of street. Sometimes I'm thankful that I have a cell phone. "

"People Can't Handle the Truth!"

9 months 3 weeks ago

"In my opinion most people or almost all people tend to deny the truth. Some people act like they can accept it but I can see that they are very uncomfortable with it. The act of accepting the truth is not just by saying "I know" or "it's true". Accepting the truth is when you understand it, you accept it as a part of who you are, and you come to love it and is not troubled by it. People tend to say I don't care, they act like they are all in controlled and all that but through my long observations, I can see that most of what people say reflect oppositely on their inner self. For an example, one may disgusts about something other people do but they also the one who did it. And when they disgust the others, they disgust their own selves. "

What is your favorite haunted house or do you work at one?

9 months 3 weeks ago

"I don't know any haunted house and I hope I don't need to work at one. I'll pass out if I work at a haunted house. And every night I'll have nightmares about the haunted house. I prefer to work where is open with crowds. Feel safer.
I see a haunted house when I was little. I was not very scared back then (surprisingly), just a little flinching when a bloody figure suddenly appeared. The teenagers are the ones who shouted the most so I copied them and shouted too. The haunted house I saw is not very convincingly scary in my opinion. I hope to see more of haunted house in the future so I can have some fun nightmares. "

Professor Dumbledore is gay.

"What do I think? It doesn't concern me much. What if he is gay? It doesn't change the fact that he is a good actor and a human. I wonder why people are so against the idea of gay. People make fun of gay people too much. They should be ashamed of it. Living in a society where sex and gay are such big matters, no wonder people are so affected by it. I'm not against any gay matter. I don't consider being gay as being different. Every single person in this world is different anyway. Some of them are even extraordinarily weird. I don't think this topic should be discussed. The media has no shame, digging personal life of people, make them bare their soul and expose to the whole world. I wonder why the government don't make laws which protect the personal right of those people. "
