I get that way sometimes. xD

Oh, I don't usually use the forum there, but if you'd like help in anything else, I'm up for it. The only time I go to the forum is to get food, buy, or sell my dergs. What flight are you in?

I'm in the nature flight. It seemed to suit me. It was either that or frost...

Ah, nice! I started in Nature flight too, and my mentor gave me a nature sprite at the time . :)

I generally pick nature elements when given a choice, as my best buddy Ocean tends to pick water. However, I moved to Ice because of the eyes.

Can I see your lair? [Here]'s mine.

Sure.
I'm still very much getting the hang of it all, but here I am.
You have some GORGEOUS dragons btw...



I'll be heading to bed soon, so if I don't respond, I fell asleep... :mcheh:

@Vine: Thanks! Well, if you ever want to use one of my dergs as a stud, just tell me. :) I generally nest them in my own nests to keep track of them, but I'm sure we can work something out.

Aha, sure. Have a good one. :)

I think writing and how someone speaks does tell how mature they are but as you said, if someone doesn't know English, than it's not fair to really judge them on trying to hold a conversion.

I had a co-worker who when he got off, just went home and played on his psp, said it kept him out of trouble.

I love horror genres to be honest but anything fantasy takes my fancy too. I would love to finish like Saint Seiya or Magic Knight Rayearth but I believe only one season of Saint Seiya was ever dubbed in English.

I have FR myself, I'm with Plague.

I can't watch horror myself :mcheh: I prefer fantasy or sci-fi.

But I do have MKR on dvd. The first season's ok, but I find the second series to be better. Might be because my favourite characters are in there...
I like clamp art a lot so that's also a good enough reason to watch a series.

Mika: thanks.

@Chloe: *nods* It's never really just one element, but a collective of observations. Also, just because a person is mature in one area doesn't mean that they're mature in another.

Aha, nothing wrong with gaming; it's definitely not the worst of addictions [unless you end up not sleeping for days and it actually kills you].

I like fantasy, but I prefer it in movies and books than anime. Most of my writing has some fantasy elements.


@Vine: I don't enjoy horror at all. It just disturbs me. I do like gothic elements though; just not stuff that's actually scary.

Although I admire CLAMP's art for their creativity and visual appeal, I don't think I can ever get into most of their series for their characters and story [they have good concepts, but I dislike their execution]. My favorite of their series was xxxHolic, but I was dissatisfied with the ending [so much so that even though I started collecting their licensed works, I dropped it.] My favorite of their concepts was Tsubasa, though, where they touched on their past works. It's not the first time someone did that [link different worlds/universes], but it's one thing I'd never get bored of. Unfortunately, I don't really like the characters and again, I don't like the way it's written, so I stopped reading that series pretty early on.

Yeah. Strangely most people I know are like that for clamp. They either love it and hate code geass or they don't like clamp but love code geass...

I like Fantasy and sci-fi in most things, both books, films, anime, games and series...

I agree that gaming isn't the worst addiction possible. It's quite a bit healthier than most addictions...


And I like gothic and the elements of it, but I can't watch horror either. I don't particularly mind if it's 'monsters' though it's euwie to watch then. But I can't watch it if it's ghostrelated or people doing the horror. I just can't. It doesn't just disturb me. It throws me back in time and I get the most horrible nightmares just like I had when I was a little kid. Worst of it all is that when I wake up after those I can't do anything. I can't call out, I can't move. Just sitting there terrified trapped. So yeah. I prefer to avoid horrormovies...

Sounds like you had sleep paralysis as a kid. That's terrible.

I think CLAMP is one of the best shojo artist [team], but in terms of manga art, I'm a big fan of Takeshi Obata. He drew Hikaru no Go, which I really liked, and so I continued to follow him as he illustrated Death Note, and then Bakuman. Hikaru no Go is one of my top favorite anime, and Death Note was really interesting, but Bakuman had its ups and downs with me. His art is always amazing, though. So detail-oriented, expressive, and fluid. It's beautiful.
