It just has to be asked, the question I'm sure you all missed during my absence:

Are you gonna tell us more about yourself, or do we have to guess? ;)

[frank]

There are already 2 places (threads) where anyone can find out more about me than they should probably know. Or more than I should tell them.

Check those out and if you still want more, I'll do what I can to satisfy your hungah. LOL

Tx for the question, Keat. Maybe I'll keep the OPEN sign up for a while. ^^

[Montreal]

Who is your favorite anime character and why?

[frank]

Sailor Moon ^^

Probably because if it hadn't been for her, anime would have passed me by, and an important part of my life wouldn't be there today.

[Lady Vamp]

Who are your favorite actor and actress?

[frank]

Actor=Paul Newman

Actress=Goldie Hawn

^^

[Lady Vamp]

Favorite song ((currently))?

[frank]

Mathilda

or

Yellow Submarine

lol

currently, anyway.

[Lady Vamp]

What was your favorite subject when you were in high school?

[frank]

OMG!

English.

Especially language patterns, and words, and how different cultures and times affected the language.

[Montreal]

What is your all-time favorite quote and why?

[frank]

several equal

"Fences make good neighbors." Robert Frost

It has that ironic twist that appeals to me, making both sides of an issue have relevance and value. Like neighbors are maintained as neighbors with the help of a fence.

"The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves...." Omar Khayyam

Is a realistic observation that life is governed by powers external to us and over which we have no control.

[Montreal]

Have you ever had anything published?

if so, what and when?

[frank]

Yes:

Stage Presentation of The Rabaiyyat (A long time ago)

Miscellaneous poems and short stories in my college mag. (also a long time ago)

Miscellaneous letters to the editor,Picture Framing Magazine. (Seems like a long time ago. ^^)

How To Cut Mats With A Hand-Held Cutter. Englewood, CO +/- 1995

Picture Framing Dictionary. I was a contributor with only 9 other professional framers. 1995. more or less.

Misc. techniques and formulas used in oil painting restoration. Published in a restoration catalog, Sparks, NV about 1995/6

2006/7/8.

Miscellaneous reports used by The Learning Resources Center, Southern Illinois University, on animation, techniques, production of film clips for grade school children, and the legalities, etc. (definitely a long time ago.)

I have some things in copyright that I've just never gotten around to submitting for publication. The stuff above is what I mostly remember. The re might be more.

I've been invited to publish some writings, but for whatever reasons that don't make sense now, I rejected those offers.

^^

Oh, yes, one more that was useful, Color Theory for Matting and Framing. Englewood, CO +/-1995

[Montreal]

You say Sailor Moon is one of your favorite anime, what are some of your other favorites?

What are some anime that you didn't enjoy?

[frank]

Didn't enjoy so much:

Yu-Gi-Oh
(talked too much)

Trigun
(just couldn't get into it)

Bleach
(too repetitious--like how many times do I have to hear about "spirit pressure" ?)


The current Pokemon D&B is okay, but I miss the older eps with Misty.

To be really honest, however, I enjoy them all. I love animation, animation art, and the dynamic appeal of anime.

Always enjoy:

Inuyasha
Cowboy BeBop
.hack/sign
Shin-Chan
FLCL :oops: lol
Blood
Samurai Champloo
DBZ (the earlier ones, before they started just running their mouths)
Eureka 7
Ghost In The Shell, SAC
Evangelion
Princess Mononoke :)
Storm Hawks

and more....

some borderline that aren't really considered anime because they didn't originate in Japan:

Teen Titans
Totally Spies
Code Lyoko
Kim Possible
Big O
Samurai Jack

lol

I guess I'm just a big kid at heart, with early exposure to motion pictures, exposure to animation and the Disney cartoons. Early on, anyway.

[Montreal]

(I think that Storm Hawks was made in the US, and that Big O was made in japan? or am i wrong?)


Can you describe an absolutely perfect meal? With an appetizer, main course, and dessert.

[frank]

I doubt if you're wrong. You very seldom are when it comes to stuff like this. Okay, I am switching my list around to conform. Storm Hawks into U.S. made wannabee anime and Big O back where it belongs. LOL

Perfect meal:

Appetizer (s):

Light Chardonnay

Shrimp Cocktail
Iced w/ cocktail sauce dip.
Wafer thin garlic crackers.

Soup:

French Onion or
Cream of Cheddar
Hot, garlic- buttered French bread.


Main Course:

Chilean Red or Pinot Noir

Chateau Briand (medium -well)
Sauteed Mushrooms (garlic, oil & butter sautee)
Cold Asparagus
Cold Beets w/ Mayonnaise Dressing
Scalloped Potatos w/extra sharp cheddar and Parmesan chesses, grated
Black Olives and Stuffed olives

Croissants w/ lemon butter or olive oil w/ ground pepper


Salad:

Tossed salad ala frank (which means you put damn near anythng you can get into it.):
Iceberg Lettuce
Romaigne Lettuce
Sliced Mushrooms
Diced tomatoes
Bell Peppers--green and red
Hard-boiled eggs, crumbled and diced
Bacon crumblies--fresh, not out of a stupid jar ^^
Olives--Ripe and Pimento (Sapnish)
(No celery, no onions, no garlic, no carrots, no yukky stuff!)

Bleu Cheese dressing.


Dessert:
(serve all 3 at same time)

Pineapple Upside-down Cake (warm)or Pecan Pie (warm)
French Vanilla Ice Cream
Flan

Napolean Brandy
Black American coffee w/ a hint of cinnamon.

Everything served from and on polished silver, Swedish crystal, English porcelain. (but not Willoware)

Pure white, clean, fresh linen & napkins.
Warm, damp cloths and finger bowls.
Sandalwood incense--very light.
Jazz in the background--barely audible.
Subdued lights--candles, if you want^^




2 or 3 good friends to share it all.

Maybe 4....

^^


(The salad can be served before or with the main course. Or it can be served before the dessert.

American style is to serve it before or with the main course.)

[Montreal]

Pick 5 people that you love and write 5 sentences that you would like to say to them?
i'm adding the question mark to make it a question lmao

[frank]

I'm thinking you mean one sentence to say to each? Otherwise it would be 25 sentences. then I could just write the same poem for each one. :?

People I love.

1. Faye

2. The Major (Motoko)

3. Alex

4. Raven

5. Sam, too, I suppose


Sentences:
(not necessarily in numerical order)

"Would you like to be the mother of my children?"

"My unborn children want you to be their mother."

"Will you do my unborn children the honor of being their mother?"

"I didn't do anything."

"My children will be lonely unless you will be their mother."

:lol1:

I left the 2nd, 4th & 5th for you to add the ?

(I would've put Sailor Moon, but I thought that was going just a little bit too low on the age scale.)

:roll: :twisted: :lol: :shock: :oops:

If you want to delete this post, that's fine. ^^ lol

[Montreal]

i love how you think sailor moon is too low, yet i believe raven is younger...haha

why do you love these people?

[frank]

I love them because in this world of fantasy , in which I am more comfortable, those characters "triggered" an emotional appeal, probably based on visual interpretation, that keeps them among my top or favorite characters.

Sailor Moon, however, because she was my first "love" has to be in a different category.

Raven is younger, eh? I may have to re-think my attitudes, here. :twisted:

[Montreal]

If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend?

[frank]

If that person was truly a friend, I'd understand that some of the things said weren't meant to deliberately annoy or irritate me. Either irl, or out here in cyber space, doesn't matter. Friends are friends. Ya keep 'em unless ya just have to let them go; or unless they don't want to be kept anymore, which amounts to the same thing.

[Montreal]

to my knowledge, you don't listen to music much. does this change anything in your life?



i'm just wondering. i listen to at least an hour's worth of music every day.

[frank]

Music has always been part of my life. Esxcept for this past year or so. I find myself not caring about music like I used to. I don't know if that's a change, but it probably is.

[Lady Vamp]

Wow, now I'm going to feel shallow asking my mundane questions.

Hmm...

What's your favorite Disney movie? And why? Why do you love Disney so much?

*fails at her attempt to be intelligent*

[frank]

My most favorite Disney movie of all time? Fantasia.

Is just too awesome for when it was made, and even today is still awesome!!

I'm not totally sure why. Most of my early movie experiences had Disney cartoons before. And animation was just so awesome a thing to do. I mean they were, and still are, completely outrageous and don't even try to spin off of reality.

It's like an "in your face" medium. It says, "Take it or leave it."

Disney began the animation movement, took it to a couple of different levels, then anime stepped in with a conceptually different artform.

Disney stayed pretty much rooted in his successful experiences, and even the Japanese producers and animators are doing the same: staying with the same basic concepts and ideas that have made anime universally popular and accepted.

Disney animation is for pure entertainment. Japanese animation, mostly, is rooted in mythology and concepts of good vs. evil.

But, I don't like the older Tom & Jerry-type cartoons. I did, but I think I "grew out" of them. Newer stuff is okay. But newer stuff tries to mirror anime, to some extent.

phew!! sorry for the lecture.

Don't you DARE ever feel shallow, or demean your intelligence like that! Ever!! Please??

It would be so wrong if people didn't ask what they wanted, of anyone, and not expect a courteous reply.

Besides, you're wrong on both counts: your questions aren't mundane and you're very intelligent. ^^

[Dark Shadow]

what kind of animes you like more? (Action, love related...)

[frank]

The more violent, the better.

The more erotic, the better.

The more fantastic, the better.

The more insane, the better.

Samurai Champloo
FLCL
Cowboy Bebop
Eureka 7

are some of my all-time faves. ^^

[Takai]

You mentioned before that Blood was one of the anime you enjoy. Did you mean Blood+? If so, who is your favorite character in it?

[frank]

Rukia ^^

[Takai]

I think you're confusing the series lol. Isn't Rukia from Bleach? (that wasn't a question). Either way, why do you like Rukia?

[frank]

I always did have a hard time with characters names and to what anime they belonged. I have to keep looking them up all the time.

Rukia is sultry and mysterious. If she's the one I'm thinking of.

On Blood vs Blood + : whichever one has the female character with the chevalier guarding. I thought her name was Rukia.

Now you're making me look it up. LOL

[Montreal]

Have you ever had any pets?

[frank]

Many.

Cats and dogs, mostly

Raised long-tailed guppies for a little while. If fish count as pets.

Had mongrels and purebreds, both.

And registered and not.

My favorite was a beautiful female cat I found one winter night, rooting around in the mickey d wrappers, hungry, scooped her up, took her home, washed her about 3 times, turned out to be pure snow white, delicate bones like a Siamese, had been declawed by somebody, I loved that little cat like no other, had 3 itters in the corner of my closet, in a box, etc., would catch birds and throw them against the bedroom door to show us what she'd caught and wasn't she a good liitle huntress. Called her Christmas--cause that's when I found her, half wild and staving and so dirty and shedding hair. But she loved me like you wouldn't believe and I loved her back. ^^

[Takai]

Yeah, we were on the same series, but you got her name wrong -- she's Saya. What about other characters on the series? Which Chevalier (Saya's or Diva's) would be your favorite?

[frank]

The creepy looking one is cool, but creepy.

The other one is a little too bishie for my taste.

I don't remember which goes with who. the one on Vampies badge, I'd pick. The other one seems to whine a lot. lol

I guess I could look them up and not look so stupid. I really am terrible at remembering names like that.

[Takai]

I am getting confused lol. Vampires Badge? Is that what they called Red Shield in dub? o_o Now I'm really curious about your opinion on the Chevaliers! lol

Let's do it this way >D

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_haji.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_riku.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_solomon.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_karl.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_nathan.jpg

^ (left to right) Haji, Riku, Solomon, Karl, Nathan.
There are two more but they're boring xD I don't even have a single screenshot of them to show you.

So, now that you know who is who (lol), what is your opinion on each one? You can be offensive if you have to, I won't take anything personally ^^ lol

[frank]

http://i1.tinypic.com/89iklt5.gif

This one. Ryuk. I thought was on Lady Vamp's LIS Badge, was wrong, it's on Jericho's LIS Badge.

this is the one that looked creepy, to me, that I thought was a chevalier, but forgor which character it was always hanging over. I'm not even sure, now, thatt I have the right anime. @_@

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_haji.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_riku.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_solomon.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_karl.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/vitas_fd/ch_nathan.jpg

^ (left to right) Haji, Riku, Solomon, Karl, Nathan.
There are two more but they're boring xD I don't even have a single screenshot of them to show you.

So, now that you know who is who (lol), what is your opinion on each one?

Now then, Haji is the one I thought had a bishie appearance. Seeing this image, I could have been thinking of someone else.

Riku I only vaguely remember and didn't remember that he was a chevalier.

Solomon is defintely bishie type (to me) and is over-bearing and pompous.

Karl is defintely a strong type, but I had for gotten he was chevalier and for who.

And Nathan is much too pretty to be a chevalier.

And now I'm totally confused with all of them and have images running around in my head that won't connect.

Like I've been saying, you need some other members that are way more anime oriented than I am, or at least that can remember names and faces, etc. I can't. But I appreciate your patience and teachings. Really. ^^

[Takai]

^^;;;; uh.. Ryuk is from Death Note, and there are no such things as Queens or Chevaliers or vampires in there ^^;;;

Riku became Saya's Chevalier later on in the series. Haji was Saya's Chevalier from the beginning. The rest of them are Diva's Chevaliers. Well okay, let's drop the subject ^^; I feel like I'm getting you more confused ^^;

[frank]

No, you're just trying to be helpful. i know that.

In Deathnote, yes there are no vampires. But now I've got about 15 or 20 different character images floating around in my head, none of them wanting to become attached to anything.

Even anime that I like and have watched for years, I don't have all the charcters' names and relationships memorized or coherent. that's why I might know the series, know the characters visually, but the names elude or I didn't have them to begin with.

I'm sorry Takai, I really would like to talk more specifically about anime, but that's what GG and Dyne, and Mac, and Montreal, etc. can take care of that I can't. I just wish we had more members that wanted to play here. *sigh*

[Takai]

Don't worry about it frank ^^ I just got kind of hopeful when I saw that you like Blood+, I hardly have anyone to talk to about this series, except like my roommate. (but that's nothing compared to stuff like Kashou no Tsuki or Kigeki that nobody but me even heard about LOL). It's fine either way. xD

[frank]

That's why I'm happy when GG comes in. Then both of you then have someone else to talk to. At least someone that has gone beyond the series presented on CN. ^^

[Melee]

did you have a tree fort when you were little?

[frank]

I was never little. I was born this way. ^^ Full-grown and good to go! Just like a stale bun at mickey d's.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

well that was interesting trip down bishie lane O_o

whats your favorite representation of a dragon in anime?

[Takai]

Do you believe in dreams that foretell the future?

[Lady Vamp]

Does the sound of someone cracking their knuckles gross you out?

*randomage*

>.>

[frank]

@ GG: that one in Xiaolin Showdown. Don't remember his name, but is mah fave. ^^

@ Takai: Yes, I do.

@ Vampie: No, I used to do it all the time. Until someone told me I'd ruin my hands and get arthritis and swollen joints and wouldn't be able to paint anymore.

[Takai]

How quickly can you solve a Rubik's cube? *randomness* xD

[frank]

I can't!! :( I never could. I've tried and tried and tried. Then it got so frustrating I don't ever want to see a another Rubik's Cube.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

is it because you couldnt figure out how to get that ONE square on the right side?

[frank]

GG, are you trying to mess with my mind or what? LOL

I can do all kinds of mental contortions, except the Rubilks Cube. And without partial success as a reward, the frustration level just isn't worth it.

Including whatever doojiggy in the corner you're talking about. ^^

[The Guiltiest Gear]

lol well i can usually get one side all one color EXCEPT one square which i just dont know how to move to the right side

um...how would you react to a break dancing kitty?

[frank]

LOL

One of 2 ways.

If female, I'd start break dancing with her.

If male, I'd run away, very, very quickly for the animal cops. ^^

[Mac]

@ GG: that one in Xiaolin Showdown. Don't remember his name, but is mah fave. ^^Dojo?

on topic - what's your favourite food? o.o (probably been asked, but hey, my favourite changes all the time.)

[frank]

YES!! Now that you mentioned it, mah fave dragon is Dojo.

Favorite food, right now, I keep thinking of a tender prime rib cut with tomato on the side.

Is called chateau briand, I think.

[Melee]

random q. Have you heard of a band called April wine??
I heard them on my radio the other day, and now I hear them on the radio alot.
what kind of wine is april, do you think?
do you think that just means it's only made in april?
or maybe it's just the wine you drink in april?

[frank]

random q. Have you heard of a band called April wine??

Nope


what kind of wine is april, do you think?

don't know


do you think that just means it's only made in april?

I don't know when wines are finally declared wines.


or maybe it's just the wine you drink in april?

As far as I know, there is no particular wine for a particular month.

[BrokenWings_Sene]

The same question I asked Mac.

If you were stranded on a deserted Island with only, a Paper clip, a rubber band, and a straw, what would you do?

[silence]

if you had to listen to one song non-stop for a week straight, which one would you pick?

[The Guiltiest Gear]

have you ever stepped on a rake and slapped yourself in the face?

[frank]

The same question I asked Mac.

If you were stranded on a deserted Island with only, a Paper clip, a rubber band, and a straw, what would you do?

I'd paper clip all my important papers together, I'd drink my malted milkshake (vanilla) with my straw, and I'd use the rubber band to shoot pebbles at the advancing horde of cannibals. XD


if you had to listen to one song non-stop for a week straight, which one would you pick?


That one by Marty Robbins about falling in love with a Mexican girl. Or maybe Johnny Cash. Or maybe Harry Belafonte. Or maybe Louis Armstrong, or Johnny Mathis, or Eartha Kitt, or there's just too many to pick one song. I'd pick the artist and let them do the song picking--whcihever one they wanted to play/sing for a week straight.


have you ever stepped on a rake and slapped yourself in the face?


Sometimes around here, I feel like I have. LOL

No, I haven't, GG. That must hurt, you know that's gotta hurt.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

i almost did it once,wasnt right in front of it luckily so it didnt hit my face >.> <.<

do you want to wear a monicle just once?

[Takai]

Do you look at your keyboard when you type?

[frank]

@GG: I did once. Tried it, but everything has to stay all squinched up to hold it place. And it doesn't help the other eye, at all.

@ Takai: Half and half. I can type just by touch, but because I'm not under pressure to type that quickly, my eyes flick back and forth between the monitor and the keyboard.

[Takai]

Where did you disappear to for these couple of days?

[Montreal]

do you know how much i miss you? :(

[frank]

Takai: I end up at that one poetry website, and I've been writing lots of stuff, and reading lots of stuff, and going all over the web, and transferring hundreds of images from all over to the gallery at PnP and to my account at photobucket. ACF is always in my mind, though. All of you. But it seems like my brain is drained of thought that I think it's better for me, sometimes, to stay away. And I try to study a little bit every day on html. And sometimes I get hung up at You Tube and Veoh and going to msn groups, and like that. @_@

Dream~chan: I'm sorry, baby. Yes, I think I do. So do I....

doncha wanna steal cotrj's mwahahaha emoticon and bring it here?
*sneaks off innocently* >.> <.<

[frank]

LOL

Okay, GG. As soon as I can, I'll go to cotrj and check out the thingy and lift it.

[Sarah]

What is cotrj? Or do I want to know?

[Takai]

Do you wear a watch?

[frank]

Sarah: cotrj is a very special site; Cult of The Romantic Junkies. Is very anime oriented and doesn't mind looking at some questionable attitudes, but is very civilized, very clean, and very well moderated.

Takai: I did, but the silly thing forgot it needed batteries, so it died :( and is waiting for me to either replace 1. the battery or, 2. the watch. lol

[Takai]

What brand is that watch? For how long did you have it? How long ago did the battery in it die? What kind of batteries does it use? XD

[The Guiltiest Gear]

clean? it has a yaoi,shonen ai,and yuri section XD

how come i havent seen you on lately?

[Takai]

hey hey, nothing is unclean about shonen-ai~
i can't say the same about yaoi, as about any of the -more- explicit genres ^^;

---

How come I don't know about that place anyway? ><

[frank]

What brand is that watch?

Seko

For how long did you have it?

Longer than most of you have been alive. :shock:

How long ago did the battery in it die?

about 2 or 3 months.

What kind of batteries does it use? XD

I don't know. I always just took the thing to a jeweler and they put a bettery in. lol

GG: I'm on every day, 2 to 3 hours at least. But not so much like before when it was 10-12 hours a day. and I log on and off. Make some posts, read some threads, check things out, then log off. Especially if no one's on.

Takai: GG has been very discrete about that site. Just click the link in his sig, it'll take you right there.

[Takai]

Oh so that -is- the site xD Then I clicked there before xD I thought it was something completely different that you guys are keeping away from me >_> jk lol

What's that poetry website that you seem to go to quite often? o.o

[frank]

http://www.Prose-n-Poetry.com/author/6438

Will take you right to my page. :)

[Takai]

*saves the link* thanks :3

What would you do if coffee disappeared from your life? @.@

[Sarah]

Have you ever lived without coffee?

And when do I get some more points? I've been lost for about a week, Ithink. ^^

[frank]

Takai: I'd probably die, or be so close to it it wouldn't matter. Happened once--withdrawal symptoms were terrible.

Sarah: Had coffee all my life, honey. ^^ Points? I'll see what I can do. I've been kind of lost myself.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

[Takai]

o___o

how long did it take you to type this up? xD

[frank]

LoL I don't remember, really. A long time, I think. Then checking it for typos. Yup. A long time. ^^

[The Guiltiest Gear]

why dont you play the persona games?,they have alot to do with the arcana :papasmurf:

would you watch anime just for the fact a dragon or two is present?

[frank]

why dont you play the persona games?,they have alot to do with the arcana :papasmurf:
It's something I hadn't thought of, really. But I'm not a gamer, at all. And I'm not sure if my orientation would allow me to enjoy something like that. ^^

would you watch anime just for the fact a dragon or two is present?

Yes, of course. I do and have. ^^

[Takai]

What are some of those anime you watched for the dragons?

[Montreal]

if we at some point our lives had an ACF party, where as many members as possible gathered and met, would you attend?

[frank]

Takai: DBZ & Xialoin Showdown. (I'm not sure if that last one is true anime)

Inuyasha also has dragons popping up now and then.

Sailor Moon had a kind of dragon-like creature, but not quite--The Lake Monster.

Samurai Jack is always playing around with dragons of one kind or another, but I don't think that one's true anime, either.

If I remember right, aren't a couple of the critters in Yu-Gi-Oh dragons?

Even Pokemon has something like a dragon. Ya can't escape 'em, they're all over the place. lol


Montreal: Sure. ^^ Matter of fact I've already met 4 ACFers, IRL We all survived. LOL Actually, that was one of the most awesome experiences in my life.

[Takai]

hehe yugioh has -a lot- of dragons <3

when are you gonna record your voice for me?
you didn't think i was kidding did you? lol

[frank]

omg, you actually remember from that far back? Honestly, I was the one who kind of forgot about it. As soon as I can get up to Jacksonville, or if they have any recording studios in this little town, I'll be your next seiyuu. Promise. But I don't know when.

"You really remember?" Memory like mine--doesn't forget a thing--except voice recordings. :oops:

[Takai]

Do you honestly think I would forget about something involving a -voice-? xD

When was the last time you went to the zoo?

[The Guiltiest Gear]

so you'd watch Slayers Gorgeous if I said it was about a girl with an army of dragons?

[frank]

Takai, not really. You don't ever forget anything.

Zoo? I H A T E zoos. Probably about 12, 13 years ago. In Denver. With my grandkids. irl ones, that is.

GG, especially if you said it was about a girl. ^^ LOL yeah, dragons, too. *saves title to check it out.*

[Takai]

Did the name Shoden come from somewhere or did you make it up?

[frank]

Shoden was named by Lyra.

When he flew into one of my adventures, I was having a hard time with a name for him. Lyra suggested many different ones.

I picked Shoden and that's how it all happened and why Lyra is listed as Honored Dragon Namer on my family/faves list.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

might as well watch all the Slayers series then lol

do you like coffee cake and coffee candy too?

[frank]

Not really. Something about the taste that never appealed. lol really

[Takai]

Do you like pomegranate?

[frank]

Yes, I do. ^^

[The Guiltiest Gear]

do you ever wish Mac taalked in old english?

[frank]

Middle English, anyway. Old English is very difficult--to spell, and pronounce.

[Takai]

how is that voice recording going? :twisted:

do you stop to watch street performances if there are any?

[frank]

it's going rather well, thank you. I can see it from here, going down the road. LOL

Yes. I like street performers. Always have. the merchants around here don't. But, well....that's their problem.

[Takai]

avoiding the question, i see. lol

don't you think me and GG would make an awesome team of street performers? XD

[frank]

Yes, I would! :=) I think you make an awesome team, already! ^^

[The Guiltiest Gear]

what kind of act would we have?

[Takai]

would you stop by to watch our act?

[frank]

GG: I don't know. You oughta be able to come up with something....

Takai: Of course. You know I would. XD

[The Guiltiest Gear]

whats awesomer:a dragon or a dragon man?

[frank]

Dude! A dragon!!

[The Guiltiest Gear]

isnt dood cooler then dude?

[frank]

not really :P

[The Guiltiest Gear]

why do you say that? :shock:

[frank]

because dood has been used so much, in ways that made no sense at all, that it stopped being interesting a long time ago. Dude is still a relevant word. Dood is irrelevant. My opinion.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

when did you become an android? lol

[frank]

From the moment of my conception. :P

[Takai]

have you read Thieves' World series by Robert Asprin?

[frank]

Never even heard of it. :shock:

I'll put it on my look 'em up list. :)

[Takai]

I haven't gotten far in it. I started it a few years ago and it was a little too difficult for me. If i get the time, i definitely want to finish because it seemed interesting.

Do you like books that have the same story told from different people's point of view?

[frank]

Of course. Without that, this would a very boring world. And probably totally dictatorial. ^^

[Takai]

I agree. I love when the same story is told from different people's view. It makes it look like several different stories. Thieves' World is like that, the first book at least ^^

Do you ever go to a bookstore just to look at books? Without buying?

[frank]

OMG yes! old books, new books, pb hb, rare and not so rare, and on and on and on. Old bookstores, antiques shops, libraries, Barnes and Noble, etc.
books were my life, once. ^^

[Takai]

XD i do that too. if i'm not in a hurry, i always go into the bookstore if i see one. i find it fun even just looking at covers and stuff.. i really love books :oops:

Do you have anything to recommend me? xD (something fairly easy to read lol)

[frank]

Stranger In A Strange Land--Heinlein, I think.

Dune--Herbert. Not really easy but awesome.

Martian Chronicles--Bradbury

Any of the Anne McAfferey (sp) books--dragons.

[Takai]

I'll have to look into those. I tried to read Dune back when I was in high school but i couldn't follow it too well >_< i hope my english improved since then lol

for how long have you been on that P&P site? do they have free membership?

[frank]

Dune: If you become familiar with the words in the glossary, it's much easier to read.

PnP: About a year and a half

I edited out that stupid photobucket thingie. I'll try to find the piccie and post it back. >.<

[Takai]

who was the very first anime girl you liked?

[frank]

Sailor Moon. lol She started the whole thing.

[Takai]

should've known XD

what genre anime should i review next? >.>

[Nyuu]

What's the worst movie you saw this year?

[frank]

@Takai: any genre as long as it's filled with blood and guts, sexy female ninjas doing impossible things, beautiful artwork, sexy seiyuus--male and female, maybe we have to make up a genre? really tired of the same old, good guy, bad guy; good witch, evil witch; forces of good against the forces of evil; teeny-boppers saving the universe with magic spells, etc.

@Nyuu: none. I haven't seen any movies this year. except on tv and I don't count them. those are all bad, anymore with all the dubbing subbing and cutting.

[Takai]

so i should review something completely out of ordinary? XD

*goes through her list to find something crazy* >.> not sure that i can find everything you listed in one anime, but i'll try to do something different XD

[frank]

LOL

You know I wasn't really serious, don't you?

No one can dictate to a reviwer/critic what/how they should go about their duties. ^^

[Takai]

XDDD

okay, this is serious XDDD is there a one word that describes a person who doesn't speak for no reason or only speaks when necessary?

[Nyuu]

What is your favorite season?

[frank]

Takai: recalcitrant ^^

Nyuu: Summer ^^

[Brian]

If you had an acnestis, how would you deal with it?

[frank]

I'd have to look it up to see what it is, then deal with it apropriately. ^^

[Brian]

If you had the opportunity to live in a large space station in orbit around the earth, would you go live there?

[frank]

Not if it was going to be a permanent assignment. If it was an assignmnet that would use the SS as a jumping-off point for further exploration of our solar system and our planets, then yes.

I would have liked to have been able to walk on the moon and also to leave my footprints on the sands of Mars. To walk where Bradbury and so many other sci-fi/fantasy writers sent me, before anime was anything more than godzilla running around, would have been a truly epic experience.

I would have liked to have been one of the team members that implemented such things as terraforming projects, ensuring that our race would have a habitable and life-sustaining world besides this one, which is slowly dying of neglect and abuse. And which is killing us, in retribution, for the stupidity of the unconscionable acts of pollution and our becoming more and more exposed to exotic viruses that belonged in the deep jungles, but which were disturbed with the destruction of the planet's rain forests.

Science cannot cure what we have done. Murdered our mother and father, and with their dying, leaving us as homeless urchins with only our sins to laud our efforts.

I would have liked to have been witness, if not a participant, to some experimentation that I think possible, but only in deep space. Levitation for one. Teleportation for another. Mastery over the physics governing gravity; the speed of light; hybrid hydroponic farming which could produce germ-free, vitamin and mineral-rich plants, fruits and vegetables; the solutions to waste disposal that would allow all waste products to be turned into energy producing products; the study of the real dimensionalities of time and space with a concurrent potential for at least controlled time travel; perfection of the medical potentials inherent through the use of nano-bots, untrammeled genetic research which could allow killer diseaes to be finally eradicated; the true perfection of the development of AI components in manufacturing and research as well as in communication--among themselves and with man; the perfection of medical techniques and medicines which would address human ailments directly and not the symptoms.

All of these and so many more. I would have liked to have been a part of that excitement and accomplishment.

If anyone stayed with me throughout this presentation, I thank you for your patience. ^_^

[Nyuu]

What was the first CD you ever bought?

[frank]

I have never bought a CD. Of any kind. Never had too, but now, if I'm truly going to enjoy my anime properly, I'll get some blank to dl my faves. At least. ^_^

[Elfina]

Where did you get a dragon from? Could I get one?

[frank]

Where did you get a dragon from?

I really don't remember. shoden has been with me for so long, that it seems he's always been with me (us). The (us) is because Sarah, also, has been with me for what seems like a long time, also. One day he was just there. But he didn't have a name. so I tried to give him a good, dragon name. And couldn't. I called out for help, Lyra (the Forgotten Nobody) answered the call, and from a whole bunch of names, we thought Shoden was an uber cool dragon name. That's why he loves her so much and let her give him tummy rubs and all like that. Scandalous, but what are you going to do? I mean he is one, big dragon. Huge, really.


Could I get one?

Sure. It might be easiest if you went to Mac's, "Dragon Reserve." He's got all kind of homeless critters (dragons) that are looking for compatible humans. You can stop in there and take a look around. I know he'd be pleased for anyone that has a real interest in dragons to pay a visit.

This is his address. Just click on the thingie, and it'll take you right to the front door. ^_^

[Nyuu]

What is your salad? dress?ing of choic?e????

[frank]

should i use a single character for my next sig/avi or a couple? 8)

Yes, I think so. Single characters seem to define you better. Unless it's a humorous image, then multiple is okay. ^^

What is your salad? dress?ing of choic?e????

Blue Cheese ^-^

[Takai]

i meant a couple as in a romantic couple, not just multiple characters XDDD

what did you have for breakfast?

[frank]

Oh. :oops: Spike & Julia. Faye & Vicious. Roger & Dorothy. (I won't even dare mention anything out of Inuyasha) Haruko & what's his name?

Those ones in Eureka 7 (you know, I really can't remember these names)

I give up. All the others are just faces and scenes but no names. Weird.

breakfast--nothing. it was too late by the time I got to the dining room, and I didn't want just eggs and toast, which she offered to make. Just coffeee was good.

[Takai]

since when are Faye and Vicious together? :shock: what did i miss in Cowboy Bebop? XD i think Julia was with both Spike and Vicious >_>

[frank]

You don't remember that one episode where Faye and Vicious had that really steamy shower scene? Or am I wrong? was that someone else?
and I didn't think Julia and Vicious ever coupled. Maybe. they were all really transient lovers at best. romantic couple as in permanent, I dunno, I just dunno. LOL

I like roger and dorothy the best. impossible love to begin with, man and machine, but sentient emotional machine, the sadness of it all, the unsoken words, but the looks and touches and so on. too much!

[Takai]

O_O i think you are really confusing with something else. there was nothing between Vicious and Faye O_O i don't even remember any shower scenes at all in Cowboy Bebop lol
Julia and Spike were lovers. Julia and Vicious were lovers too. That's the main reason i despise Julia so much... though Vicious and Spike are also partially at fault... *sigh* everything came to a sad conclusion.[spoiler:1mjitc8j]and i just really didn&#39;t think Julia was worth it for Spike or for Vicious to die... : ([/spoiler:1mjitc8j]

but what can you do.. love triangles lead to sad circumstances sometimes.

what's the closest store near you?

[frank]

There was a very steamy shower scene with Faye and Vicious and, apparently from the convo, vicious is bi-sexual. Anyway....

closest store? Like any kind of store? A raunchy little East Indian owned and operated convenience store. Further than that would be a stationary store. Like a typical multi-offering office supply place. ^^

[Takai]

Nooow i think i know which scene you're talking about, and it wasn't Vicious. it was Gren (http://www.absoluteanime.com/cowboy_bebop/gren.jpg), who is associated with him i believe (i watched it about 6 years ago, so bare with me lol). I'm not sure about him being bisexual, but he had both male and female features.. side effect of some drug they forced him to use in the prison (he got arrested for being a spy, i think... i think Vicious testified against him or something), from what i remember. There indeed was a scene when he got out of the shower and caught Faye trying to use the phone to tell on him though. I remember when Faye saw his body and asked if he was a woman, he said something like "I am both, and I am neither"... :( (wow i remembered surprisingly a lot all of a sudden LOL)

can you tell that Gren was my favorite character? xD

haha should've guessed that the closest store would be a convenience store, kinda makes sense XD

when is the next full moon?

[frank]

why did you just double-post?

and why did you wait 5 months before trying to get this back up to the top?

:p

[frank]

LOL

Sorry about that, Kali. :rolleyes:

why? got confused, I guess. ^^

and why? don't know, really. apathy?

[momo1415]

how did you "meet" shoden?..or did he find/meet you first?

[frank]

I don't really remember.

Dragons are very selective creatures, though, and they are the ones that do the "finding"

More, they are the ones that decide whether or not to befriend a human. An exception might be when a human takes repsonsiblity for a dragon egg and is then responsbile to make sure the dragon grows up big and strong and well-cared for.

Like Shroden is becoming. ^^

[momo1415]

oh i see! so he is completely independent then right?

[frank]

Who, Shoden or Shroden, or both?

Shoden was, but is now bonded to me as I am bonded to him. We are neither independant of the other. But I am less independant than Shoden. If something happened to me, for example, Shoden would probably continue without much hesitation.

but, if something happened to Shoden, it would take a long time for me to recover.

Shroden, however is completely dependant on me. For his care, feeding, etc. Without me to care for him, he wouldn't die, but he would slowly become inactive to the point of being like in a coma.

frank/Shaden, now is a totally different creature. Completely independant of everything and everyone. Matter of fact, I think he doesn't really even care for people at all.

Not even Sarah. But she isn't a people. She's different....

[momo1415]

oh i see...so you and Shoden are like blood brothers yes? or more like dragon brothers...lol

[frank]

Let me see if I can explain this properly....

Shoden and I are racial brothers. And yes, dragon brothers.

Shoden is also teh Rain Pixie's Dragon Brother! An honor that he prizes highly.

frank/Shaden and frank, however, aren't racial brothers. They are each other.

Shaden and Rain Pixie aren't brother and sister, except by extension, but they are always racial brothers.

Rain Pixie and I are racial dragon brother and sister. We are also Brother an Sister. An honor that I prize highly. She is also one of my Angels.

Dyne and I are racial brothers. but the matter of dragon brothership has never come up.

We are also dragon brothers when in dragon form.

"Brother " is a relative term and might be literal or figurative, depending on the dragons involved and their relationships.

*phew*

[momo1415]

O.O! wow....questions answered nicely. Thanks for clearing that one up frank <3

[frank]

You're quite welcome. ^_^

[Shamanicgirl09]

Let me see if I can think of a good question for ya...hmmm

What would you prefer, an action packed adventure thats a once in a life time chance filled with drama, excitement, beautiful new places and ancient wonder? Or passing that up to watch a movie you have seen a zillion times with your one and only love? XD I think I am kinda proud of this question :P

[frank]

I would be too, I think. :p

Okay, let's see. That really isn't that hard.

I would always rather be with my one true love, it didn't matter what the other thing might be.

I mean how much more than once in a lifetime can a true love happen?

And I am rather proud of that answer. =^_^=

[Shamanicgirl09]

I would be too! ^_^ Its a good answer.

So when did you start loving dragons?

[frank]

congrats on your successful adoption. Just logging on and seeing your egg. ^^

So, I don't remember, really.

Seems like I have always been partial to that world. The world of magick, and angel faeries, warlocks and wizards, gypsies, and all things in that arcane, esoteric world where few people really dare to travel freely.

Beowulf was a big influence. I felt so sorry for Grendl. And all the works of Anne McCaffrey seemed to have been written of real things. The most notable, probably, The Dragonriders of Pern series.

I don't expect anyone to believe in these things, and I'm very pleased, more like comfortable, when I find genuine, equal beliefs.

Especially here, at ACF, where some of us not only think we're dragons, but know we are.

^_^

[Shamanicgirl09]

When you say that your a dragon, do you mean you can morph into one, that your soul is a dragon from a past life, or both? This really intriques me because I am a big believer in reincarnation.

[frank]

This might explain it a whole lot better

No. If I brought it to life, it might accidentally bite me. lol

[Hara Michiyo]

What is your favourite cheese?

[frank]

like 'em all, except that processed crap.

tops though:

extra sharp yellow cheddar
blue cheese or bleu
edam

like anything with some taste and tang, but not spicy hot like with jalapenos

Edam is an exception, it's just smooth. ^_^

[The Guiltiest Gear]

Do you like melted cheese on your nachos as well?

[frank]

not really. ^^ like cheese dip, yes, but not all ooey, gooey, messy, all over my nachos.

I'm a purist, I guess. LOL

[The Guiltiest Gear]

So you don't like foods covered in sauces? lol

[frank]

I didn't say that. I was talking about nachos. Sauces are something else. The right sauce for the right meal and it can be right tasty. ^_^

[Brian]

Can you hum or whistle the theme songs to Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea, or My Favorite Martian?

[frank]

Nope, neither one. Can't even remember the theme songs, for all that.

Favorite cake?

pineapple upside down

[The Guiltiest Gear]

if you woke up fluffy what animal would you be?

[frank]

a little shi tzu puppy that just had his hair all puffed up from a bath and a hair-dryer

[The Guiltiest Gear]

why after a bathXD?

[frank]

You bathe the little critter, shampoo, then hair conditioner. ^^ Then blow dry 'em so they get nice and fluffy and clean and smell good, and they love it. Very strange animals.

Did you read Eragon, Eldest and Brisngr?

I'd have to check Eragon to be certain.

Too many years, too many works, too many names, titles, places and people--sometimes the memory doesn't behave itself.

Have you read any of the Amber books by Roger Zelazny? Anything else by this author? What about Terry Pratchett?

[frank]

I would have read most of this author's works (Zelazny) during the 60s and early senties. "Guns of Avalon" must have been especially good for me to still remember the title. I was very much into sci-fi/fantasy and read everything I could by anyone. ^^

Sir Terry Pratchett I'll have to look up to see if I remember any titles.

edit

The Dark Side of the Sun
Colour of Magic
The Carpet people

seem especially familiar.

But, honestly, I'd have to review any of these author's works for details. It was just too long ago. ^^

If you were dancing with a bunch of people and someone yelled "grand ole' right and left", would you know what to do?

[frank]

run like hell, figuring the place was either under attack or on fire.

Do you like the works of Li Po? Do you have any in your collection?

[frank]

I have no idea who you are talking about. I don't have collections anymore, of anything. I may have had some of Li Bai's works, but I don't remember.
