What kind of a beast could kill his daughter's favorite little puppies, destroy her room, and do some unmentionable thing that I haven't found out, just because of a simple question from a twelve year old!? Grrr, he makes want to dig up his grave and throw his remains into some pea soup or something like that! And you also said you hated your brother... What did he do? I imagine he couldn't possibly be worse than your father. I want to throw your pea soup-coated father's wet bones into a pineapple covered in spikes >_< ...My brain is a mountain of hatred... I've been thinking of mean things, like... Kittens... With spikes...! *jumps down from a ledge* Where's my sniper rifle!? A triple kill is in order!   |

you know, i had this whole thing planed out that i was going to write about something...but i compleatly forgot about it when i heard about Rin's dad...how could he possibly expect you to leave Ranger AND your children...just for money?...i....i...i cannot even type i am just too shocked. i realises that i am going to take alot of flak and death threats and letterbombs for this remark, but this is what it think Ketsuki: if you are going to cut (and i pray that you don't) let it be wrist or not at all...cutting is not a way to feel better, its a way of suicide. so never EVER pick up that knife unless your are ABSOLUTLY DEAD SERIOUSLY SURE about what you are about to do...that is why i have not done it yet...i am not absolutly sure that i want to die right now because Rin and Ranger have given me a very small bit of hope....and every time that spark has died...Alyssa has an unnatural abilitly to call me at that moment...creepy  |

I got this in an email, and I wanted to forward it to everyone. But for some reason, it wouldn't forawrd correctly., so I copied and pasted it here. This is mainly for Ranger and Rin. Very interesting....and worth forwarding. On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns ------ All three missed it --- This is really an awesome sight to watch if you've never had the chance . Very fascinating. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why? 21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary. 2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why? 21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1 3. Why are his gloves wet? His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle. 4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and if not, why not? He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder. 5. How often are the guards changed? Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. 6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to? For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10" and 6' 2" tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30." Other requirements of the Guard: They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin. The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror. The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty. ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM. In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington, DC, our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!" Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930. God Bless and keep them. I don't usually suggest that many emails be forwarded, but I'd be very proud if this one reached as many as possible. We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve. ----------- Sound like something Ranger would do, neh? |

S-a-c-h-i-e-l, I learned that in military school and re-learned it in Officers Candidate School (OCS). I could have also answered those Qs. OK since we're playing military trivia, where did the 21 gun salute come from? I know this one as well. Here's something that few if any people know. The first official salute by a foreign nation to the Stars and Stripes took place on 14 February 1778, when the Continental Navy Ship CNS Ranger, under the command of Captain John Paul Jones, fired 13 guns and received 9 in return from the French fleet anchored in Quiberon Bay, France. 13 guns were fired by CNS Ranger, one shot for each of the fledgling United States. The 9 rounds returned signified acknowledgement of a new commonwealth and was the tradition in those days. On 11 April 1778 after a failed raid to capture the Earl of Selkirk Capt. Jones was involved in a pitch battle with the 20 gun sloop HMS Drake near Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. Both ships were equial to each other and the battle well over an hour. Captain Burden of the HMS Drake was killed,his second in command Lieutenant Dobbs was mortally wounded and died later and Ensign J.F. Penryn was killed in the inital volley. The Drake surrendered and was captured by Capt Jones who then turned it into a raider to be used against the English fleet. Penryn and Dobbw were Rins ancesotrs. That's the start of the hatred for Americans. Add in Rins B-day, July 4th and me an American and so forth. One last thing on Capt. Jones. In the battle of the British warship HMS Serapis against the Bonhomme Richard. when cannon fire from the Brits struck the Richard's coplors Jones was askled if he surrendered. Jones's reply was "I have not struck my colors and I have not yet begun to fight". The Richard was sunk and Jones was killed and the battle was won by the Americans who used gunpowder supplied to them accidentally by the Brits. Rins brother, Commander Sir Harry P---- Royal Navy, hates because of their fathers hatred. It goes back centuries, it's family history. He hates me because when he threatened me I told him "better take your best shot cause you only get one", then I hit him as hard as I could. I'm still waiting and that time may have come. We'll see. Rin's in good hands, I promise. I have no love for her brother and I'm not going to let everybody's favorite internet princess be harmed in anyway. I don't know if I should say this but Rin is very welcomed on more than a few forums. Rin would say, "Don't hate it only lessens your lives". She'll prob login later after she gets home. |

Ranger wrote "Rin would say, "Don't hate it only lessens your lives". He is not worth your hate or anger. He is worth nothing except to be forgotten. Please, for me; Don't hate, it only lessens your lives.  |

Im sorry to hear about what happened with your family rin, and you are right there are other girls besides her, I don’t care about her, im not gonna allow myself to care. And you are also right about me need some sense beaten into me, but unfortunately there is no one to give it to me. You want to know what does cutting myself accomplishes, ill tell you, it makes me feel a tiny bit of what I feel inside. You tell me that people will ignore my cry for help, when I asked for help they told me to get over it, that men don’t feel pain, that men don’t cry, that I was a man and I should act like one, I was smacked across the face another time. And then I just been ignore, so I don’t cry for help anymore, I cut because I want to know if im still alive or if am I just rotting in hell, which to be honest, I don’t see much difference. If I keep telling myself that I don’t believe in love, eventually I will be true, I wont believe in it. Nightmare, like I said, I cut so I can feel on the outside what I feel inside. It is a way to make me feel better, and the scars that are left are reminders of the pain I gone through, it may seem stupid, but that’s what I do, I hadn’t done it in a while too, for the last five days it escalated. Also, don’t pray for this soul of mine, its not worth it. And one last thing. Hold on tightly to Alyssa, and to that hope that you have, ranger and rin gave did give me hope, but then I took it away, im don’t need hope to keep on living, I wont seek death any more, I will let death come to me. I was feeling great today, what I mean by that is that I felt no pain, no worries, nothing, I just let the day go by like nothing, but then it stopped, so now im back to being a stupid moron who is just sulking in his suffering. Oh well, fuck it all. My song right now is “make me believe†by godsmack. |

Ketsuki instead of hurting your self more, way not try to enjoy yourself more. Your life is shit enough, cutting yourself wont make you feel better. Go find the nearest kitty and pet it instead of cutting yourself, it is a whole lot better when you are feeling down. It feels crappy enough on the inside, why feel it on the outside too. And Ketsuki is being alone really all that bad, is all the crap you say is terrible really that bad. Well you are alone, so what, enjoy it. Worry about being together the next time you see Kitsu or anyone for that matter. If you have all this spare time, use it to feel good and watch anime, feel like shit later and balance out your life a bit. Dont worry about the future so much, and just try to enjoy the things that you currently can do, let the future come and be depressed then. In the end you are gonna die, and who really gives a damn about that anyways. Enjoy all this free time you have by watching anime, not cutting yourself. And watch the fluffy animes too, not those depressing ones. Knowing Ketsuki he is gonna be depressed no matter what though. Ketsuki your life is not much worse than mine, you just get too depressed over it. Living isn't crap, its your attitude thats making it like so. I actually recommend the drugs in your case, if you don't like the ones you were getting try a different kind. Take the drugs and watch anime so you are not depressed when you watch a happy anime. You need drugs Ketsuki, and lots of them, just dont take them alone, take them with anime. When im depressed, I just go to sleep. When I wake up the feeling is usually gone. I then proceed to watch anime, and it makes feel happy again. I don't even need drugs. My song right now is "Raspberry Heaven" by Oranges and Lemons And as for Rin's dad, I will just add him into the part of humanity that I hate, instead of hating him directly.

I wasn't one puppy it was seven. But I have my puppies now, border collies, Basil, Mookie and Brat. Mookie sleeps on the bed, Basil at the foot of the bed by the back door and Brat by the bedroom door. There is nothing to say anymore. It has been a nightmare as long as I can remember. Maybe now they'll go away. Ranger is taking me out to dinner and to the Moody Blues concert at the Indian Casino tonight. A sort of forget this week kind of thing. |

Ketsuki, everyone is worth praying for. Even Rin's piece of garbage dad... Or what's left of him... Anyways, the reason why everyone is worth prayer is because if people are happy, then they'll like others and spread more happiness. So, regardless of what you say, I'm gonna pray for your happiness. Heh, I'm almost glad that Ketsuki's so depressed. It gives me a mission: to rid Ketsuki of his ailment. ^_^ 24 hours straight with no internet... I could barely stand it! My brother, who is supplying me internet, got a new har drive (250 GB O_o), a gigabyte of DDR RAM (another O_o), and Doom 3 (last O_o for now). Problem is, his hard drive takes up too much energy and shuts off his computer, so he's just not gonna use it until he knows how to fix it. In the meantime, I have battled boredom by playing Shadow of the Colossus (or something like that... THAT GAME IS W00T!!1!), and making ramen. Rin, naming your dog "Brat"... kinda mean in a funny way, huh? |

My brother went to the hard drive place's website, in now it's all working fine... I'll probably tell him about your advice, Ranger, if it stops again. And Ketsuki, you're happy! I love it when people are happy! Heh, I don't think I've been really sad ever since..... Maybe a month or two ago. I was just playing a game for an hour, and I'm still clueless on how to kill the boss. An hour, riding a horse around pelting an invincible sand worm again and again... No, still happy ^_^ I'm not sure how it works, but you must get to the point where you're always happy. It's quite quite fun!! |

Re: The Depression Thread Continued

Sachiel I just bought Shadow of the Colossus. I am looking forward to it. The trick to the sand worm is to attack its mouth, just hop in its mouth and attack the teeth. Ketsuki with posts like that makes it look like there is hope for you after all. I really like your approach, and I espeacially like how you actually said you will love her forever. Kudos. Me right now, I am in the pit of sorrow. I finished watching up to episode 245 of One Piece and there is no more One Piece left to watch. Good news, I just realized Howl's Moving Castle had been ripped. Horray. Jomunga eats your avatars. |

Ohhhh, man... Those people that made SOTC know how to make suicidal techniques... I tried shooting its mouth with arrows over and over, and I thought about getting eaten once or twice, but dismissed it as "SUICIDE". I'm in the same pit as you, ケイ! I'm broke with no job... I want a job, but I'm just a little young... |

Re: The Depression Thread Continued

Ketsuke: i will contunue my prayers for you (actually i pray for all of you, i mention evry one of you by your screen names every night in my prayer before bed) i think that every soul is worth praying for.. i pray that your pain will be reliesed from you when you reach heaven and that you will finally be happy once again. i try my best to hold onto Alyssa. although it is hard to watch over her when im lucky to see her 3 times a year...as i said before, she is very close to my heart...we had this special link between us where i alwayuse felt that she was with me, but latly that link is beginning to frail and its scarring me. every day i feel more lonely....i do so wish that i could hold her...but i can't, she loves another. (it took me awhile to accept that) but ill alwyase be here for her...quietly waiting...just in case she ever needs me. Rin: Hate is bad...i do not hate because it thowes of my focus. Like if you are angry in a spar, you start to make wild moves and make mistakes (Ranger probibly knows what im talking about) i find it is also like that in chess...if your furstrated, you cannot think correctly..that is why i try not to hate and be angry ya, my parents wont let me get a job...my birthday is in about a week (nov. 29) and my parrents are not letting me invite anyone over and are not getting me anything...so i guess ill just go to school...pray a rosery like i usally do on tuesday...come home...then...i dont know...maybe ill burn some insence (they wont like it, but i dont really care)(my friend got me some)then probibly cry... |

Oh, thanks Nightmare! I wasn't aware that anyone was praying for me. Although, I don't think that praying for me is as important as praying for yourself, Jomunga, and Ketsuki. Everyone could use prayers, but I think that you three are in the most need. I'll see if I can do something for your birthday, Nightmare... Oh yeah, I need Jomunga's and Bloody Moon's email address, if you guys can give it to me. I have everyone's but yours... |

nightmare: Happy Birthday to nightmare for Nov.29th. As for your parents...There not getting you anything?!!!! And not letting you invite anyone over...they are completely heartless!!!! Don't cry O.K.? I know it's bad and I know it hurts but just try to get through it, do something you like, (sneak out if you have to!) maybe go see a movie, or get some of your favourite food(chocolate helps) just do anything you want to and forget your parents! Don't let them or anyone or anything get to you too much! That goes for everyone else here too! |
