I've listened to it before for some time (a month or two I guess?), but I stopped listening to it because the same songs started playing over and over again (mostly Perfume).

This is a song I don't really hate, but more like the band. You may or may not know the band Sturm und Drang, one consisting of teenagers who decided to make a band in 2004. Anyway, just like Tokio Hotel, they're a huge hit here in Finland, mostly because they're "oh so kawaii" boys plus the lead guitarist's father is an important guy at some record label. Well, to get to the point, even though I despise the band, I really can't help but like the song because of its awesome riff.

I'll be frank about this; I don't really care much about art. Even though I took art class instead of music, I never really had the "golden hand" of art, nor did I have the third, inner eye. When I see a painting, I see the colours and handstrokes, but I can't really tell what the artist wanted to tell us by drawing the painting; and I don't mean describing the painting, because even I can do that. Now comes my somewhat silly question to all of you artists. Do you have an inner eye, the ability to see through paintings? The source of all these thoughts was my english teacher who brought up the topic a year ago or so, and it made me think about it.

I have to say I agree with you. There's always been something around Tsumugi that's been bothering me, but now that I try to imagine her like that, I actually find it easy to do so because of this story. Anyway, even though I don't like rape in particular (especially not one of this... kind), I honestly have to admit that it was more or less written beautifully in its own way, even though I managed to catch some misspellings. Additionally, I totally like your choice of words and I'd like to read more from you (even though I'd really appreciate it if both participants were agreeing to it). And yeah, I do write myself, but I'm far inferior to you.

Haven't been caught in the past (at least I can't recall it or I haven't noticed it), but I don't think my parents would overreact over it, because it's pretty much normal for people to be looking at pornographic material. On a side note, I WAS actually watching hentai quite some time ago when my grandmother barged in and asked what I was watching, because she couldn't really see anything without her glasses. And I guess I can thank God for it, because it scared the heck out of me.

Additionally, some of my friends tend to watch porn on their iPods when riding the bus.

I've seen the things up to 1:00 before, but my jaw was wide open for the rest of the video. In a sense, it was beautiful. But I think the most astonishing thing was right at the beginning when a guy (could be the one who filmed it himself, dunno) asked "Das ist der Hausmeister, oder?", meaning something along the lines as "That's the janitor, isn't it?" in German.

When I was a little kid, I used to collect glass bottles (I really don't know how, I just somehow saw something interesting in them), so I took off the etiquette and put it into the cupboard. Additionally, I strangely enough found backpacks interesting for some odd reason, as well. Anyway, later on I started to collect Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, because I guess it's pretty typical for boys nowadays to play at least one TGC while still being young enough not to be ashamed of it. I grew tired of those as well after three to four years (I guess?), and then stopped collecting things for quite a long timespan until I just recently (two to three years ago) bumped into anime. Of course I've seen anime on tv before, but two or three years ago I really got into it and currently I'm collecting anime episodes and manga (which naturally comes with anime, I guess).

No, there won't be any world peace, ever. The shortest and easiest conclusion to it would be that every country has its own definition and interpretation of the word "peace".



It's the same with my family. I love my parents, but I can't get along with my brother at all. Do you know why? Because I can't read his mind and understand him and act how he'd want me to, and I wouldn't want that nor the opposite, because it would be - frankly speaking - pretty boring if all goes how you want it to. And let's all be honest with ourselves: a perfect world wouldn't be better, because it would be pretty much boring without a care in the world.

Besides, there will always be an asshole outsides the crowd who wants to be different from the others, just because.

If this is indeed an april fool, I TOTALLY fell for it. Now that I think about it, you are completely free to correct me, but didn't Jacob use the exact same news as an april fool last year? At least that's how I recall it.

I'm plain speechless.

I also hate them passionately, I've always had nightmares of waking up with cockroaches crawling out of my mouth.

I've heard of Visual Kei before, so I take it that these are all male?

You could say that I have an absurd taste for music. I love metal (mostly melodeath, folk, symphonic black and a little power) but I also love the perfect opposite, namingly the calm classical music. But I also enjoy some country (like Johnny Cash) and celtic folk music very much.

To be honest, I've never believed in raw talent to begin with. If there was any, how would you be able to recognize it? For example, what if I'd have a strange "talent" for guessing heights of mountains (it certainly is a weird example, but I have a big headache right now so I can't really think of something else)? My point is, no matter how good you may be at something from the start, unless you work hard for that something, you won't be able to get anywhere with it at all.

It's the xylitol in them that makes them healthy for your teeth, or so I've been told for the past few years.

Quote from Wikipedia:
"Xylitol is a "tooth friendly" sugar. Early studies from Finland in the 1970s found that a group chewing sucrose gum had 2.92 decayed, missing, or filled (dmf) teeth compared to 1.04 in the group chewing xylitol gums. In another study, researchers had mothers chew xylitol gum 3 months after delivery until their children were 2 years old. The researchers found that the xylitol group had "a 70% reduction in cavities ." Recent research confirms a plaque-reducing effect and suggests that the compound, having some chemical properties similar to sucrose, attracts and then "starves" harmful micro-organisms, allowing the mouth to remineralise damaged teeth with less interruption. (However, this same effect also interferes with yeast micro-organisms and others, so xylitol is inappropriate for making yeast-based bread, for instance.)"

Come to think of it, local dentists (I'm Finnish by the way) always tell me to chew xylitol gums at least once a day, even though it's a real pain and I don't really like it.

I really liked Code Geass (even though there were a few mindfucks* that bothered me). I got hooked on it so strongly that I had to watch all 50 episodes within 6 nights. I dunno, the voice acting and artwork were awesome, and it was packed with action and good cliffhangers. Even though I'm not into mecha stuff at all, I didn't really get bothered because there were too many good aspects to the anime for me to drop it just because of mecha. Additionally, I'd like to say that the ending of R2 was the best ending I've ever seen in anime, and I can guarantee you that I've seen plenty of anime.

My thoughts exactly.
