Actually you dont even need to know anything about magic to be in the coffeehouse Miss Sparkles..Most of the time the topics here are not about magic, but about life and leisure..^_^
I am totally calling our lawyers right now, missy! >;U. I mean, at least leak you are my sunshine or one of the piano ballads. It's like I'm surrounded by idiots!
(Sorry if it seems like I'm only posting when someone summons me by name to bump something related to myself. I'm still learning how to play MTG so I don't have much to add to the conversation as of right now. XD.)
Of course you are sorrounded by idiots sweety, but these guys are all we got

I released this one because I had an epiphany last night in my bath and mostly finished it.
...
The song, not the bath
....
Well I finished the bath too....just felt it to be best not to share the results of my bath with everyone
....
Ok fine...Im clean now.
EDIT:
@ Stuffy : When one of my best friends died in highschool, I had similar problems. Actually, 15 years later I am still having dreams from time to time. I miss him.
I don't have much time to catch up, but I wanted to make a quick post.
This was, for some reason, an incredibly depressing day. It just hit hard early in the morning, and didn't really let up. I'm watching time pass by so quickly around me, and I'm still trying to catch my breath.
On the up side, new manga! I've read over Tramps Like Us, got the second volume, and it's turning out to be a real jewel. I'm excited to read the rest of the volume and get the third one. This is one to keep following, definitely.
I read Qwan and have a pretty good impression of it. It's feels a little bit like Vampire Princess Miyu mixed with Naruto, with a dash of the original Dragon Ball because of the Chinese mythological elements.
The new Detective Conan is good as always, and I still have Bleach and FMA to catch up on. Then, the third installment of Little Butterfly, completing the series. I've been preparing for that one, and am anxious to see how the story will turn out.
Have to get up early tomorrow for a meeting, but later on - "picnic time!"
Sorry to hear about your deppressing day mamelon. *hugs* Im glad your day light up later on when you got your manga though its always pretty cool when that happens. Hopefully the meeting goes well for you and enjoy your picnic!
Series: Red Garden
Genre: Horror - Mystery - Sci-fi - Drama
Episodes: 22
Kate, Rose, Claire, and Rachel - these are four very different girls who all attend the same private high school in New York. Recently, a mutual acquaintance at the school, Lise, committed suicide. After the announcement, school was cancelled for the day, and they were brought together in the midst of their mourning, for they all knew her in some way. According to police, her suicide seems to be just one in a string of related events.
Later that day, after everyone has gone home, the girls are drawn individually to Central Park by mysterious butterflies which only they can see. There, they meet a man and a woman in business attire, and are subsequently attacked by a savage, animalistic man with grey skin and glowing eyes. The woman instructs them to defeat this creature, and they do, just barely managing to stay in one piece. She goes on to tell them that the four of them are not alive, but dead... and in order to restore their true bodies, they must continue fighting these creatures in secret.
What's going on here? Are the girls really dead? If so, how? Is there any relation to the mysterious string of recent suicides? Will the girls be able to learn to cooperate with each other long enough to stay alive?
Story, artwork, music, characters, setting - Red Garden has all these in spades. The art style is beautiful, reminiscent of more artsy shows like Nana and Paradise Kiss. The characters are all unique and interesting, as is the plot. The music, while not outstanding, really does a good job, and leaves not a whole lot to be desired. The setting (New York) is conveyed wonderfully through the unique art style, and the show uses tons of little details to really give you the feeling of being in the big apple rather than a generic city. The story carries well, never becoming slow enough to lose the viewer's interest, while at the same time dedicating plenty of time to character development and never rushing the plot. The ending is one of the absolute standout best endings I've seen in an anime, with a pan-out shot of New York City that can't be missed. I give this one an 8.5/10.
@Saki&Devi: That song is something else I must say. But I do like it quite a bit. Good show, both of you.
@AL: Don't feel like you've done anything wrong for not doing RotW. Everyone needs breaks.
I know I haven't been around a lot, and for that I am sorry. It has just become such a busy time of year for me due to the whole needing to find colleges to apply to thing. But I promise once school starts (2 weeks or so) I will be much more active, back to 7-10 posts a day, not one or two every other day.
Yesterday though, was amazing. It was the last day of camp, which means I got paid and can finally get that XBOX360 I've had my eye on for so long. I also saw Superbad last night which was fantastic. It was a packed house and I love it when there is audience participation in a movie. It just made the experience that much better. As long as you don't not like juvenile humor you will find this movie to be very very funny.
Well you gotta do what you gotta do ep and we all understand that i havent been posting much in here lately either. However i try to post every so often. I think the next thread though i want to go for the top 3 most posts again like i have the last 3 times. Nice that you got an xbox 360 have fun with it and you should try out the RPG enchanted arms i thought it was an interesting but rather fun game for the 360 and its fairly long.
@hunter44: thanks hunter44.
See you all soon! Im going to see if i can past the feywood and get into giruvygen in ff12.
Love,
Cecilia

Sorry you had a hard day sweety. Alacar should be posting a special geek MP3 from Devi and I which we wrote that expresses that very feeling. Life just passes us by as if we are frozen in place. So much we feel we need to do and each day is a day we didn't. The piece is incomplete but I wanted you guys to see what we have so far. It needs a real set of lyrics mainly.
The three of us are sisters sweety, and Lilly. This piece is for all girls like us.
*ninja poof*
I like that idea, that we're all sisters...
(ooooh an ellipsis, what could that mean?)
sooo i did an FNM thing last night,and a good comparison of what i was using compared to what i faced....
I either fought one of my brother's friends, which was like me, a dolphin, racing a human in a pool
Or i faced a real competitive deck and kinda held off long enough for them to work to kill me, so yeah...
The deck was a casual deck i standardified like 5 minutes before i left.
So i basically used the trip to a really well stocked card store to complete some playsets I've wanted to for ages, so I got my playset of urzatron, my 4th sylvan scrying, etc, and opened a platinum angel.
In any case, it was tons of fun
I was the only girl there though

True; my girlfriend Heather is considering joining for the Coffeehouse, and she doesn't know how to play. Though it does help if you do
Sometimes bad grammar and spelling are on purpose sweety
After infering you were all idiots, to spell and grammar that erroneously was meant as irony.
A Likely story!
I just moved my cousin into Uni Kentucky yesterday, and she has already come home again! I'm sure that's not good for the whole settling in thing - but hey! What do I know!
Anyway - hope you are all well... I am now going to go watch the second season of the New Doctor Who, because I am in Love with David Tennant, who is great if you dont know him!

Child: Is this gonna hurt? Doctor: Only if God hates you.
@ deva44, still doing you're chores or are you bunking off you rebel, anyway I've not seen you down at the temple of mamelon in the past few days, or is your wife to be, getting a little suspicious, hahaha.
Yes I did major cleaning yesterday..My whole body hurts..Well LittleDodoria, Im not forgetting the cult teachings..And hey, Ive got a date with my fiance today.
Its time for legacy of the week this time im using one of my favorite legacy decks of all time.
I would like to introduce to you UR landstill this deck has proved itself from time to time again that it can be a good contender in legacy. Of course ive always liked any kind of control deck. Landstill does take quite a bit of skill to use correctly.
Threshold: You have a favorable game against threshold because setting Engineered explosives on 1 or 2 kills their nimble mongooses and tarmogoyfs. You also have disks to clear the board of their fledgling dragons or mystic enforcers. Postboard it gets better since you have tormod's crypt to nullify their threshold creatures.
Goblins: You have a favorable matchup especially postboard with pyroclams and with bolts and fire/ices. You also can bring in shattering spree to take care of their vials. You also have more then 5 answers on the draw and more then 9 answers on the play against their first turn lackey. Also stifles helps immensely against their goblin ringleaders that can have them gain massive card advantage that not even fact or fiction can compare most of the time.
Ichorid bridge:id say you have a favorable matchup postboard since you can bring crypts. Also stifling their zealot and EEs can save you against their hordes of zombies. However there is nothing you can do about it if they go off on turn 3 unless you draw the right answers to their threats. This matchup is winnable but its definetly not an easy win thats for sure especially since landstill's clock can be pretty slow most of the time.
Belcher:i'd say this is favorable with force of will and EEs for their goblin tokens although that would require luck to draw the right answers for their tokens and belcher especially in the first 2 or 3 turns of the match. However the longer you live against this matchup and against any other fast combo deck the better your chances are. This matchup is winnable though just not a garuanteed one. This matchup is definetly easier then tendril combo decks since they usually pack in less disruptions although belcher decks with xantid swarm can be troublesome just hope you have a swords to answer it. I would suggest mulliganing until you get a fow in your opening hand.
I'm here. I can't belive the first major downtime I have had in the past few days has been the last few hours (in which I was able to update myself with everything online I had been holding back on, finally getting to here).
Ah...Landstill...a classic deck that is quite amusing to play. But I'm not so sure abotu the matchup against Belcher that you said...I don't think it really would help that much. IMO, it comes down to how many counters you draw. But of course, I also wouldn't listen to my advice on Legacy, as I haven't played since I sold all my Legacy stuff back last November.
As for me, theres been a few somewhat major, somewhat minor changes in my life, and a few events that have really ticked me off at quite a few people. That's pretty much all I will say, but those both led to a bunch of talking with other people trying to resolve everything while at the same time manage my sanity (which I was actually able to do for once, so I am quite happy). Also...only two more days before I can go and play Bioshock (none of the damn stores around me bothered to "Accidentally" sell it early...and I've tried everyplace within a 15 mile radius...). I'll probably be back tomorrow and Monday, but Tuesday will most likely be gaming all day, Wednesday I may or may not go to Ozzfest (which I got tickets for and forgot about (and yes, laugh all you want at the prospect of someone like me going there)), and if I don't go, then I will well...probably be finishing up Bioshock.

well i never said that it was a garaunteed win against belcher all i said was the matchup is favorable for landstill which has a different meaning in my opinion. Actually it really matters if you have force in your opening hand and not necassarily the number of counters you draw in the matchup against belcher particularly in the opening plays or one or two turns later. Although having more counters will definetly help if you can live longer then the first two or three turns. I would of add a better desciption for each matchup but i was talking on the phone.
Good morning, good morning everyone!! It is now 4:08am, and I've just completed MOST of my thesis... I still have the overall discussion part and conclusion to do, plus some adding to the final part for Toy Story, but I think this is stuff I can handle over the time I'm in Westborough.... So I'm pretty damn happy I got this much done!
That reminds me... I've been kind of absent for the last couple days because of this insane thesis thing, so I hope you can forgive me for that...
Also, tonight I will be shutting down my computer so that I can fully pack tomorrow for my departure Monday morning at 9:30.. really, my bus arrives at 10:30, but I gotta be at the station a little early, and tomorrow night I do want to have dinner with my dad at his house so I should hopefully have finished packing before then.... then I hope to get a full nights' rest so that I can stay awake on the bus so that I can tire myeslf out for the midnight flight back to Boston late Monday night... So yeah, fun time on Monday to come.... again, plans just because I know was probably not very clear (forgive me for any grammatical or spelling errors, I'm ready to go to bed...very ready)
Tomorrow: Pack all day, dinner that night with Dad
Monday morning: Join Mom at work so that she can take me to the bus station at 9:30am, bus leaves at 10:30
10:30-4:30 - On the bus to Portland
4:30-10 - Aririve in Portland, see my cousin and get my shampoo back from her have dinner w/ them
10:00 - Get dropped off at the airport
10-11:30 (thereabouts) - Wait to board
11:30 - Board
11:59 - Flight leaves
8:50 am - Arrive in NYC, switch flights
9:45am - Leave NYC, bound to Boston
11am-11:30 - Arrive in Boston, get my bag, Look for shuttle
11:30-12:15 - Ride to Framingham whree my friend will pcik me up
12:15-12:30 - Ride from Framingham home to Westborough
God knows what, the rest of the day.. Pete, same age as me, the son of the woman who lives there, and a sweet guy, good friend o' mine said he'll be gettin' home ard 3 that day so that'll be nice.. most likely unpacking and shower until he gets home, then catch up with him, hook up my PS2, make sure I can still use the computer for the last few things I need to do on for my thesis, etc...
So very tired now.. I need me some sleep...
So in short, I won't bwe around until probably Tuesday afternoon, maybe not even then, depending on what hapepns....
and i'm soooo exctied to see Ryan again wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D:
Anyway... Im' exhausted so i need to go... Have an awesome rest o' the weekend, and best of luck to all of those who work Monday!
Have fun Omna! It sounds like you are going on quite the adventure. And yes please do take some pictures.
As a matter of fact I too will be in Mass. during the week, but in Boston to look at colleges. So I too will be gone, but only most of Tuesday and about 3/4 of Wednesday. I'm going to look at BU and Emerson. And for those of you who don't know, which I think is all of you, cept maybe Cecilia, I want to study to become an English Teacher; but I also want to be a novelist as well. My freshman year of high school I was a math and science geek, but my English teacher that year just made me fall in love with the subject. And since then I've known that that's what I want to do.
Oh and before I forget does anyone know how to get your free month of XBOX Live Gold? I can't seem to figure out the code I need to put in to get it.

What I did when I got mine was just sign up for Silver when you are signing up for Live, and then on the next screen after you sign up for Silver and it says you won't get features you get in gold, a menu will pop up saying "Would you like to use your free month of Xbox Live Gold?". Say yes, and you get your free month started.
Edit: First cookie for me since returning to the 'house!

Wow - well done! I hope all goes well for the remainder of the thesis.
I think I have had my fill of Dr Who already this weekend. So I'm gonna have to find something to do in the meanwhile... I have no computer games and no other TV shows to watch... hmmm

but yeah, i officially like talking through audio better than text for the most part.

i just got a haircut, look ba. bonifide anime hair now, as if my hair didnt naturally look like that already. (its quite lol, it naturally DOES look like that)
Getting your hair cut somehow turned it blue and spiky? Or am I missing something?
I've actually run out all my stuff to download at the moment. Holy cow. I guess I'll have to run off and find some new torrents. This just won't do.
Not a whole lot actually going on for me today. We ran out of files to call at work, so we got sent home early. They kept us there for two hours while they were sending messages back and forth to tech support, but they did eventually send us home. I didn't mind the wait too much - I was reading Berserk on mangavolume.
Mostly, I'm looking forward to tomorrow night, when I plan on sending out some things. I've not the energy tonight. o_o;
Hello everyone just wanted to drop by and say hello and to see how are all of you doing.
Anyway like a day before Gencon 2007 Legacy championships which had around 190 players at the tournament I just find it kinda funny and ironic that i was playtesting american funkbrew slaughter against threshold for 2 days straight and did alot of playtesting against the deck and then a day later after my playtesting i found out that threshold won the whole legacy champs event and there were a total of 4 threshold decks out of the top 8 there. Anyhow just wanted to share that with all of you.
Well i hope everyone is doing well and hopefully ill be able to get regular of the week up tonight i might need some help on it though alacar if you don't mind that is. See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
Love,
Cecilia

That's pretty much all I will say, but those both led to a bunch of talking with other people trying to resolve everything while at the same time manage my sanity (which I was actually able to do for once, so I am quite happy). Also...only two more days before I can go and play Bioshock (none of the damn stores around me bothered to "Accidentally" sell it early...and I've tried everyplace within a 15 mile radius...). I'll probably be back tomorrow and Monday, but Tuesday will most likely be gaming all day, Wednesday I may or may not go to Ozzfest (which I got tickets for and forgot about (and yes, laugh all you want at the prospect of someone like me going there)), and if I don't go, then I will well...probably be finishing up Bioshock.
well i never said that it was a garaunteed win against belcher all i said was the matchup is favorable for landstill which has a different meaning in my opinion. Actually it really matters if you have force in your opening hand and not necassarily the number of counters you draw in the matchup against belcher particularly in the opening plays or one or two turns later. Although having more counters will definetly help if you can live longer then the first two or three turns. I would of add a better desciption for each matchup but i was talking on the phone.

Also, tonight I will be shutting down my computer so that I can fully pack tomorrow for my departure Monday morning at 9:30.. really, my bus arrives at 10:30, but I gotta be at the station a little early, and tomorrow night I do want to have dinner with my dad at his house so I should hopefully have finished packing before then.... then I hope to get a full nights' rest so that I can stay awake on the bus so that I can tire myeslf out for the midnight flight back to Boston late Monday night... So yeah, fun time on Monday to come.... again, plans just because I know was probably not very clear (forgive me for any grammatical or spelling errors, I'm ready to go to bed...very ready)

I just had the most awesome conversation with one of the coolest geek ladies I know. You know who you are. (And no, it's not Sakura)

As a matter of fact I too will be in Mass. during the week, but in Boston to look at colleges. So I too will be gone, but only most of Tuesday and about 3/4 of Wednesday. I'm going to look at BU and Emerson. And for those of you who don't know, which I think is all of you, cept maybe Cecilia, I want to study to become an English Teacher; but I also want to be a novelist as well. My freshman year of high school I was a math and science geek, but my English teacher that year just made me fall in love with the subject. And since then I've known that that's what I want to do.
Oh and before I forget does anyone know how to get your free month of XBOX Live Gold? I can't seem to figure out the code I need to put in to get it.
What I did when I got mine was just sign up for Silver when you are signing up for Live, and then on the next screen after you sign up for Silver and it says you won't get features you get in gold, a menu will pop up saying "Would you like to use your free month of Xbox Live Gold?". Say yes, and you get your free month started.
Edit: First cookie for me since returning to the 'house!
Thank you very much. I've been needing to play Rainbow Six online for over 12 hours now.
Wow - well done! I hope all goes well for the remainder of the thesis.
I think I have had my fill of Dr Who already this weekend. So I'm gonna have to find something to do in the meanwhile... I have no computer games and no other TV shows to watch... hmmm
Doctor: Only if God hates you.
*blushes*
I actually sound completely different than i thought i did, which is odd. I guess i really have no idea what my voice sounds like.
but yeah, i officially like talking through audio better than text for the most part.
@ohpina: Enough doctor who? what a silly idea... you can never have enough doctor who
i just got a haircut, look ba. bonifide anime hair now, as if my hair didnt naturally look like that already. (its quite lol, it naturally DOES look like that)
Getting your hair cut somehow turned it blue and spiky? Or am I missing something?
I've actually run out all my stuff to download at the moment. Holy cow. I guess I'll have to run off and find some new torrents. This just won't do.
Not a whole lot actually going on for me today. We ran out of files to call at work, so we got sent home early. They kept us there for two hours while they were sending messages back and forth to tech support, but they did eventually send us home. I didn't mind the wait too much - I was reading Berserk on mangavolume.
Mostly, I'm looking forward to tomorrow night, when I plan on sending out some things. I've not the energy tonight. o_o;
Anyway like a day before Gencon 2007 Legacy championships which had around 190 players at the tournament I just find it kinda funny and ironic that i was playtesting american funkbrew slaughter against threshold for 2 days straight and did alot of playtesting against the deck and then a day later after my playtesting i found out that threshold won the whole legacy champs event and there were a total of 4 threshold decks out of the top 8 there. Anyhow just wanted to share that with all of you.
Well i hope everyone is doing well and hopefully ill be able to get regular of the week up tonight i might need some help on it though alacar if you don't mind that is. See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
Love,
Cecilia
