Just thought I'd make this as I reguarly splurt out random bits.



Question: Are Japanese people tiny?(No offence to the Japanese).. <= [Edited]

It's because when I read over a few of the RPG posts concerning my character I noticed that Icchan and Hikari "size" Takahashi up... Is he tall or something?

he's only 5"10', (My own real life height, this is actually quite average to me, and sometimes i'm smaller than others..)

So why is he getting "sized up"???

I couldn't imagine Icchan being smaller.. or anyone else, just thought they would be average aswell..

any answers?

LMAO. :')


DT dear when you size another person up it has nothing at all to do with their height.

It's hard to describe exactly. A bit like judging a person? Working them out? I dont think I could put it very eloquently myself. But it has nothing to do with actual height.

Oui oui, it's more like looking someone up and down and judging someone subconciously. Can be quite an aggressive thing too, i.e. sizing someone up for a fight / argument.

I have... none. That's probably because I don't have a 360 though...

Japanese people do tend to be rather small, and I don't have a 360.

And in your first post, it's "are". Not "is".

I'm crap at english grammar, I tend to learn other languages grammar before perfecting my own.. how stupid.



***IDEA***

This sounds completely and utterly out of this dimension but....
How about we make up are own language?
Do you think it can be done? - Call it "Ghiblish" lol..


P.S. Could someone maybe make me a Totoro SIG but a Dark one, kinda a stealthy black Totoro..
That would look cool, so, umm, please?
As you can see mine sucks eggs..
I'll pay you with an I.O.U (Independant Occupational Unit) in other words free time..

a language u gotta be kidding... , it would drive ppl insane with post containg at that jazzocal squish

why do some rolls have poppie seeds on them?
i thought perhaps taste came into play but they don't taste like anything really.
and i also thought it might be setting the type of roll apart from others like differnt taste variety , but i dunno does anyone else

Taste and texture. You might not think they taste of much, but if you compare a white roll and a white roll with poppy seeds, you will notice a difference in flavour. Also, the top crust will be crunchier. And I think it's also slightly better for you.

YES IT IS!!

I can't help finding it amusing, he called his country "Lovely" even though it's the size of his flat..

Oh and that poppy seed thing - Don't birds eat them? or do they eat birds?

Unless you have a surprise drug test later that day.

On the all consuming poppy seed debate, i always thought that it was for authenticity..so that it looks like the baker put a bit more effort in than the norm. But i can definitely taste the difference, and i hate poppy seeds..i used to pick every singe seed off..of course i don't do that anymore..

@DT: I think you may get some hate for your sig! As for Naruto, i've never seen any anime outside Ghibli, so im not sure

Also, i believe that there is at least some form of life on another planet out there. The vastness of space means that there must at least be one! Also, i heard that TV sends out signals into space, so there is a chance that they've seen some Ghibli!!

there has to be some form of life out there weather its bacteria or 8 legged badger's, me and my mates sometimes think and discuss that really in depth **** like exclaiming that the whole universes may be cells in side a bubble on a mysterious planets ocean, which is slowly rising up to the surface.
random thoughts that frankly scare me.lololol
i guess because we can not know wat truly is out there nor truly grasp anything, we just guess.

as for Naruto, ....................................................................
theirs the door *Points*

overrated faddy stuff , where the storie just jogs on the spot , just your typical crap.
