that's very clever of you Melichan! i like your pacifist way of bringing out the issue! i have already made my choice on your poll!

Hehe, thanks. That's me, the pacifist! If this were an RPG, I'd be the healer. :bg:

me too im a total pacifist myself!
(though i suppose that could also mean im a total wimp at fights! :heh: )

Aw, that's okay! Machismo is overrated :P

im glad you think so Melichan, cause i dont have any machismo!
machismo? isnt that some kind of coffee? LOL :bg:

lol, coffee??? where!?! :coffee:
considering the majority of my posts are written before I start working (8am!), coffee is muuuuch more attractive than machismo! ^_^

gosh u start work at 8am! what time u finish?
i used to have an 8am start in my old job, but not anymore in my current one, now i work late into the evening, which is even worse! ;_;

Urhg! I'm a night owl myself so morning are that dreaded time when you have to dfrag yourself out of bed in order to go somewhere you'd rather not be in order to get what you need done, well done.
Haven't seen Samurai Champloo myself, but I do love Cowboy beebop. ROFL I have to admit my fav character is Ed. Especially the episode with the mushrooms. ROFL Ein bouncing around bark, bark, bark. :bounce: Hilarious.

lol, yeah, Mushroom Samba is a great episode. ^_^ Samurai Champloo is a little less funny (although there IS this one episode where Mugen tries to "buy a woman" in a brothel that's pretty hilarious), but the action is still crazy good. I'd say download the fansubs now, while it hasn't been licensed yet.

heh, and I work 8-5 for five days out of the week; six days on one week out of the month. I *hate* working full-time, but since my parents quit helping me out with the bills, I don't have much choice. :P

oh no poor Melichan! ;_; i very lucky that i still live with my parents along with my siblings, we all help each other out, we're one big close knit happy family with alot of warmth! im so lucky i have such a great family, i hope i can do something for my parents soon so they can retire early.

I do still live with my parents, actually... they're really great, and my family is close, too... it's just that my mom has always had, well, *issues* about money. It got really bad after I started college. I took a "break", thinking I'd work for a while so I could pay my own way the rest of the way, but when my mom saw how much money I was making, she decided I could afford to pay all my own bills instead. So... there went school. *sigh*

that's a real shame, a real real shame, to think you could've gone on to university and had some of the best years of your life.
I feel for you, i really do. Still all is not lost, you can start uni when you have enough money and then you can find the job of your dreams! Ganbatte!

Samurai Champloo is really nice, the drawing style doesn't really apply that much to me but I love the music and the fighting. Really great.
I just watched a rather sad episode of it. Ne, Meli-san, do you know the episode in which the gang come across a pick-pocketer called Shinsuke? I think it's like episode 7, and I really loved it.

Yeah, I remember that one. It was very good, but very sad. It delivered the "it's a cruel world" message to a T. Kinda reminded me of the episode of Cowboy Bebop where Spike teaches a kid on Venus (?) to fight. Kid was involved with the syndicate for the same reasons as the poor little pickpocket; sick mom.

I've seen a few eps of the show & I'd have to say it's different.I like it & like to see it more but it's on when I'm at work.I like just about any anime thats about samurais in ancient Japan:E .
