Thanks everyone. But this isn't exacty a situation you guys haven't heard of yet. For some time, I've had feelings for a Korean friend of mine in college right now. So far, we've gone out to some places for lunch with friends that's all. She's 4 years older than me so she's 23. By that, that means she already is working and knows more about society than me. But she still has a childish side to her so she is really shy about being open. I keep thinking how it's a bad idea to say anything about how I feel to her because she is also like a big sister. She has had past boyfriends and I'm just a friend to her. Today, I realized that I'm just a friend to her when we were spending time together with the same friend at lunch. I know from how she always manages to be optimistic to everything and everyone. To be honest, I'm perfectly fine just being her friend. I'm always kind of moody now and then except when she's present, so I'm sure that definitely won't make her happy. Thanks for hearing me out. |

^_^ SMILING IS INFECTIOUS ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ Pass it on ^_^ Hmmm.....13... So you have feelings towards her huh? And you say she is 4 years older.....SO WHAT? Eternal is 7 yrs younger than me. But if you like her alot I would say go for it ^_^ You never know what might happen ^_^ If Eternal never spoke up...I dont know what I would be doing.... Actually it was kinda funny....she wanted Advice on if she should tell this guy that she like him.... She kept asking these questions before she posted that so in that back of my mind I was like; Is it me? I liked her but How do you tell someone 7 yrs younger than you, you like them? Anyways back to the topic at hand....I figured it couldnt be me.... I told her to go for it. And she did ^_^ If you never try.....then how do you know what might have been? Anyways I say go for it. If it doesnt work out....you can still be friends right? - some may say that is a girls line...but meh... Anyways that is what I have to say, my OPINION. GOOD LUCK ^_^

Suppose I did tell her and everything went smooth, I would be the first person in my family tree to have a relationship with someone of another nationality (I'm Chinese). I know my family's not racist, but that's another thing stuck like a thorn in my mind. My mother told me when I was little that wasn't an issue to worry about, as long as I cared about her and she about me. Dunno about my dad. It's hard to tell things to him. Plus, my I don't work yet so my college classes are full like how she has class and work. So there aren't that much time I see her. |

13, "Plus, my I don't work yet so my college classes are full like how she has class and work. So there aren't that much time I see her." I can not even see Eternal at all, from anywhere in this time frame: 4 years to 5 yrs 1 month and 5 days. Just be happy that you can spend time at all with her. ^_^ Should it matter how much time you spend doing things together? Plus if it REALLY goes well.....you should have all the time in the world ^_^

13, you say you are an 18 year old male Chinese college student with a girlfriend who is a different race. Now if your name was Cindy and you were a 54 year old Chinese female nutritionist I would say you were my sister in law. Let me see, brother-in-law is a white American jewish, his wife Christain Chinese; No, I don't see a race issue there. My sons girlfriend is Mexican. A mix of Indian and European. Definitely a different race. Is there a problem there. Not really Now Chinese and Korean, that could be a race problem. Wait a minute you're both asians, what's the problem, I honestly don't see it unless it is the same one I lived with until my father died, one of politics and ancestry. You see, I'm a white Christain English girl and my husband is a white American jew. So there might be a race issue there. No, he's white and so am I, just like you and yours are asian. How about he's Jewish and I'm Christain, that might be something for my father to get angry about. Only that's not it either. It's because Ranger is an American and I am English. My father hated Ranger until he died because Ranger is an American. Sound familiar? Your Chinese and she's Korean. Have either of you ever been to those places? I know a lot of people who are asians who have never even been to their ancestral homes, my children haven't. If that's the case, example you are both born in America, then you are not Chinese and she is not Korean. You are both Americans descended from Asian parents. Still no problem. Oh yes and as for the age thing. Oh my, she's a whole 4 years older than you? Range is 17 years older than I am. Now what? My turn. It is starting out to be another weekend like the last one was. Range came back from a meeting with the concoerge and heard some rumours being circulated over the articles in this months hi-desert magazine. Yesteday I spent the day defending Ranger from people who were attacking him based on the article which neither of us have seen yet. His email was mostly against today and we shall have to see what tomorrow brings since this issue only came last Fri. Ranger's going to make a special trip to 29 Palms to pick up a stack. TRight now he's sitting depressed and watching Princess Tutu. for years he has said to me, "Little girls, it's time you were in bed. I'm going to start him that way because he does need to get some sleep.   |

Oh wow ROQ watched Champloo before Bebop. Tell us what it was like watching them in reversed order. Well I failed to get into my Japanese class so I am pretty pissed. I going for Japanese 2 with barely any knowledge of hiragana, katakana, or kanji. I had an Azumanga Daioh type encounter today. I saw a squirrel looking for food, so I went to the vending machine and bought trail mix and started feeding the squirrel. I put a seed on the tip of my fingers, and it comes to my hand and goes and chomps down on my finger. I didn't bite down hard but it didn't let go. I was thinking "thats my finget not the seed" then it starts biting down harder and then I start struggling and it finally lets go. I keep feeding it until a dumb ass police car comes and scares it up the tree. I also got lost today in college, despite arriving early I was twenty miniutes late to my first class. Now Kotuso is a lucky son of a... LOL! Go cat attack Dninja. 13, I recomend just telling her how you feel since you already know her. If you want her as your girlfriend then go ahead and your feelings. I think it is the right time to. Today's highlight of the day. I saw an asian wearing a miniskirt today in school. They do exist.

Lady Rin, what your father had is exactly what I'm afraid of from my father. I don't know exactly how my father will say. Added: Please let us know what was on the article. Just to clarify, I'm not worried about an age or race issue. I said that to say she's 23 and I'm 18. My aunt is 15 years is older than her husband and I'm used to it. Jomunga, you really can tolerate pain. When I got bite by a squirrel, it was because it was caught in a cage and I wanted to pet it through the bars. Okay, I was 6 at the time. Is Japanese 2 the next level? Don't you need completion of the requirement if that's so? Thanks for all your comments. I've met Sero on AIM, hope anyone else has AIM. |

 ranger was attacked based on an article? is he ok right now?It was not a physical attack. It's that about half the teachers abnd students ageree with the article and the other half don't. People were making comments about him I didn't like and I let them know. Most of the people who were commenting are mostly from the lo-desert. I have not seen the article(s) yet. I have no idea what's in them. What I know is Ranger called his publisher out of legal and ethical obligation when he was cited to tell him he couild no longer use the word 'Ranger' as it was shown. The fact that the heading of the column has always been The Desert by Ranger S==== was something the publisher did. Ranger had nothing to do with it. So, Steve, the publuisher, wrote some articl(s) and we haven't even seen yet. It is those articles that caused Jerry to betray us and that was before they were even published. 13 wrote , "Lady Rin, what your father had is exactly what I'm afraid of from my father. I don't know exactly how my father will say. My father was a man of intense hate toward everything American. When I told him I had accepted Ranger's proposal he and I had a major argument over Americans and the hate he had for them. He told me (and this was a face to face confrontation) I was to break off the engagement since I was already betrothed (an arranged marriage). That's when I ran from the house and went back to my flat. The next day I received a letter delivered by my brother telling me If I did not break off the engagement I was not to return home and that I would be disowned. Harry was smiling over that so I slapped him. Ranger was there and knocked him down and almost out. That will was 23 years ago and I have not been allowed back. My fathers hate of Ranger was unreasonablwe and it cost me my family. I didn't care, I still don't except for my younger sister who stayed in touch and finally came to visit last summer. I was overjoyed when I heard my father died several months ago. If the two of you are in a relationship or one is develop I remind you it is your bed she's sharing, not your parents. 13 wrote , Please let us know what was on the article." (cultures)? I do know Rangers article column on the dangers of cactus. He stayed out of the fray. We are going to pick up a stack of magazines later today to reasd the article and hand them out to the concierges. Right now it may be a good weapon against Jerry. |

well this is awsome! Drive starts today which means more free days! oh, in the school newspaper they alwaqyse make fun of people, teachers, students, ect....and guess what?!?! THEY DID ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED THAT THEY WROTE ABOUT ME! even though it was poking fun at me, i thought it was HILLARIOUS! i am personally congradulating the edditor on an absolutly awsome job!....here is the article... Article form Detroit Catholic Central High School “Spectrum†Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 8 February 8, 2006 Phobia counsels the lost with words of wisdom Dear Phobia, I’m not very good with the ladies (or guys for that matter). It seems I just don’t have what you might call “people skills.†How do I get people to like me? I just don’t understand. I’m the best MAGIC player in the junior class, but people just don’t respect a Level 5 Dragon Master like they used to. Help me, Phobia! Lonely in Livonia Dear Lonely in Livonia, This is a tpugh one. I don’t know what to tell you. No, that was total sarcasm! You don’t know any girls and have no friends because you sit at home behind your computer all day and use your skill at MAGIC as a façade for who you secretly want to be in your heart: a Dragon Master. My advice is that you won’t be happy until you follow your heart. Go see a cosmetic surgeon and get some talons or something. Nobody will deny you friendship if you have sweet talons. Oh, and learn how to fly, because everyone loves a person who can fly. im having such a sweet day! drive staretd...driving TEST tomorrow. all new stargates tonight!!! see ya later "Lonely in Livonia"  |

Awesome, Nightmare! You know, some horns woulde go well with talons and wings ^_~ I especially like your name, "Lonely in Livonia" ^_^ Eric, if you want to say something then go ahead. Jomunga, my brother had a similar experience... He was gonna pet my hamster, but the hamster bit him hard. Quite hard, and wouldn't let go, because when my brother took his hand out of the cage the hamster was still hanging on XD  |

Hiya everyone! @Jomunga, personally, I saw Bebop WAY before Champloo(about 5 years before). I remember, I was like ten when it was on Adult Swim and after watching YuYu Hakusho it would come on. I loved it so much. Just last year did I actually see Champloo. I meant at the event with Watanabe, they showed an episode of Champloo in Japanese to get people acquainted to it, I still enjoyed it even though I'd seen it before. BTW, squirrels are gonna take over the world...slowly...but surely...why do you think they gather nuts? To build protein to give them enough strength to consume the fingers of friendly humans like you! Glad you're okay! ^_^ An Asian wearing a miniskirt...I'm gonna go read Love Hina again... @Nightmare, not bad, not bad at all...talons are cool...like Napoleon Dynamite or something...wings are the best though, I'd love to fly...it's easier to cause mischief from above the clouds ^_^ See ya...so sleepy... |

Oof, nothing happening much today. After preparing dinner (Korean BBQ and tofu), it's fun watching movies friends download. Namely, Chronicles of Narnia (for some odd reason, it has French words for when they display casts in the beginning), Wasabi (starring Jean Reno and Ryoko Hirosue), and THE 1940 version of Fantasia. Anyone seen that version where the last piece played is the one for Halloween where all these spirits and demons are dancing "furiously under Satan's spell?" Thursday is her b-day (from here on, her name is Lynn, a nickname of hers). Hoping to make a nice CD (it's my specialty). Just need suggestions of songs if anyone has any. She said she likes any kind (she loves Honey and Clover, but she already has the soundtrack) except rap. I had some songs in mind like Suteki Da Ne from Final Fantasy X and the ending vocal song in Kung Fu Hustle and song French pop. Yup, another specialty I have is finding variety of songs. "And to all a good night!" P.S. DID I MENTION I JUST LOOOOVE THE MUSHROOM DANCE IN FANTASIA??!!! |

Well, where to start. The oldest post I guess. 13, Hope things work out bewtween you and your frind. Race shouldn't matter in a relationship, really there shouldn't be anything called race. Jomunga, I live in a place where the % population of asians is 8% which roughly equates to 3000 people, but that was 6 years ago. If you lived here you'd know that that's way out of scale now. All thanks to Penn State. So anyway back on topic, I've seen my share of cute asain girls in mini skirts, and even less sometimes. Bet you hate me now don't you. Azumanga Daioh watchers/readers unite! Especially the male ones! Nightmare, wow wish my school paper wrote about me. Wait, no I don't I know those people it wouldn't turn out too well. Roq, squirlles are a serious problem upp here, cause the college kids keep feeding them, so they get used to humans. They routinly will run at you and stop 2 feet away waiting for food. *wacks head on key bord trying to ease pain* h76[h[u7mh[u7bhmhj[u7hjnbmunvgfyr That didn't help at all, all I have now is a G in my forehead. Stupid massive low pressure system. Well, I just realized that I'm more like a father to all the girls I fall in love with, I protect them even when they don't realize it. That may also be the reason I can never bring myself to ask them out. Keeping the perverts away and keeping them out of their hair, literaly. They made back packs to pull perves away from women, not to carry your stuff. Wish I didn't think of them like a father does his daughter, more like a good friend does his friends. I think that's also why I have trouble opening up to them, I'd feel like I was turning into what I'm try to keep away from them, a selfish idiot who's only in the realationshipp for himself. I would hate to become someone like that, but I hate being alone all the time. Had I a little more self cofindence I think i might have tried to ask some of them out already. Namely whittney, but I know that's a lost cause, so I won't even try... Yet, there may be hope on the horizon. |

Kay, what anime is the udon eater from? I like the animation style. I can't really suggest music for her though. I'm sure you would know better than me what she likes. Of course! Get talons implanted! Thats the perfect way to do it. *runs off for a talon implant. Nightmare, you play magic? I don't know how to play MAGIC but I love the pictures on the cards. The MAGIC players at my school kinda feared me because I would force them to let me look at their cards. Since they are all paranoid that I will steal them or rip them up, they don't want to let me see, and I get pissed. I don't do that, but I threaten to if they rudly refuse to let me see. Some tried to get me to play, but I just got owned. It looked like fun, but a little to time consuming if you want to get good. Also a money muncher too. The Mushroom dance is by Tchaikovsky. In my opinion he is the best classical composer ever. Forget Mozart. Especially since Princess Tutu used his music. I have 1.2 gigbytes of his music on my comp and have fantaisia and the 2000 one on dvd. Fantasia is the best Disney movie.(Listening to "Tchaikovsky, Nutcracker, Act2 - 12c Tea (Chinese Dance)" right now.) Dninja, I think you take the act as a father because of your smarts. You usually know whats best for them, so you tend to guide them. There is nothing wrong with the father figure approach, it is quite good. Just be a little more open to them with your feelings. Even if you want a relationship to ease lonliness, it is not selfish in the least bit. You give to them and they give to you. Wanting a decent relationsip with someone is in no way selfish. There are alot of asians here also, just even they are wearing tight jeans. Azumanga Daioh is a required watch to become a full-fledged anime watcher. Jomunga eats your avatars. |
