~ Lots and lots of polls. ^^ ~

rage-chan is going all-out to find some new things to put on the blog...here goes...

Below is a new poll, and it's different in the way that you vote in the poll...listed in the blog post. ^^' I'm confusing. Anyway.

Tick all the anime that you have watched before, and no, anime that you've only watched an episode of and am not planning to continue watching DO NOT COUNT. VOTE ONCE FOR EACH POLL, meaning you can choose multiple choices, but only vote for that particular poll once. Example: Slacky voted on all 3 polls on Monday, she cannot go and vote again on Tuesday. Get it? (Sorry Slacky for using you as an example!!) But while she's voting, she can choose multiple choices...I bet I'm confusing all of you. XDD I'm sure you understand. XD






Then answer this poll:





Long polls, but do bear with me! ^^ I'm trying to see if I can add a bit of jazz to this blog...

And finally:





Because I felt that it HAD to have blood splatters? XD This poll design was labelled 'manga' by the way.

ALSO, keeping in mind some updates I MIGHT want to try out, everyone, please send me your email so I can invite you to join in authoring this blog. It's not compulsory, and neither do you have to blog if I invite you to join this Pointless but Original blog, but rather...

Well, that's an idea to keep under wraps for the future, no? ^_^

If you don't feel like giving out for email/blogging here at all, do not feel pressured to hand over your email (muahahaha). That said, have fun polling, everyone! There will be lots of polls in the future and hopefully something that I have planned...which I will discuss with...some of you? XD

Thanks! Wow, this must be a long post...is it? XD

Also, thank you for voting on the playlist poll. Nice to see that most of you listen to the forum playlist, although two of you said you don't listen to anything at all. XD Who are you, oh ye culprits??

Check out the new poll in the sidebar: Shounen or shojo manga? And no, the answer 'Both' isn't on there...XD

Another thing: the post about the forum playlist has been unstickied. Any furthur requests for songs to be added can be commented on either on other posts' comments or in the tagbox, although if you leave it in the taggy I do not guarantee I will read it. XD

EDIT: Kizuna and Care added in the forum playlist request of Slacky luff. ^^

~rage-chan expires right about...now! ^^

~ Blog playlist ~

Massive thanks to Rain who suggested that we put up a forum playlist consisting of everyone's favourite songs. Here are the tracks so far:
  • Seishun Amigo - Shuji and Akira
  • Ai Nante - Tegoshi, Shige and Ryo
  • Don't Look Back Again - Saiyuki
  • Kaze no Machi e - Tsubasa Chronicles
  • Rolling Star - Bleach
  • Gitara - Parokya ni Edgar
  • Precious One - KAT-TUN
  • I.ZA.NA.I.ZU.KI - NewS
  • Bambina - NewS
  • Le Ciel - KAT-TUN
  • Who I Am Hates Who I've Been - Relient K
  • Shining Star - Nami Tamaki
  • Tallulah - Sonata Arctica
  • Shy - Sonata Arctica
  • Gomen ne Juliet - Yamapi
  • Code - NewS (Rain, I'm not sure whether I added the right song. XD)
  • Ju Hua Tai - Jay Chou
  • Cai Hong De Wei Xia - Cyndi Wang
  • Trip-trip - 6cyclemind
  • (something? XD) Replay - Shinee...I think?? Can't read Korean!!
  • Wrongly Given Love (pinyin) - Zhang Li Yin
  • Hug - Dong Bang Shin Gi
  • Tri-angle - DBSG
  • Wish - Arashi
  • Sakura Sake - Arashi
  • More Than Useless - Relient K
  • Kimi=Hana - pigstar
  • Viva La Vida - Coldplay
  • Konayuki - Remioromen
  • When you look me in the eyes - Jonas Brothers
  • Dream Believer - Prince of Tennis
  • She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
  • Sayonara - Orange Range
What do you think so far? We can add plenty more different song (hence the variety of...different languages, I suppose) so don't mind the 2-3 songs per forumer limit for now and let me know your choices! Daisy! What Shinee songs do you want?!

Again, thank you Rain for your suggestion and hard work~ ^_^

EDIT:

From now on, check in to see if the song you want has been added, if not, feel free to request! Opinion: Does the playlist take a long time to load? We have 33 songs so far, which, if I may say so, isn't much. XD

New additions:

  • Sakura Biyori - Hoshimura Mai
  • Love Addiction - Koyama Keiichiro (Slacky, I'm debating whether to put Care and Kizuna because Rain suggested that they should be put side by side since they're response songs, but the player is set on shuffle...or so I hope it is. XD)
  • Heels over Head - Boys Like Girls
  • Always Be My Baby - David Cook (is there something wrong with the volume...?)
  • Innocence - Avril Lavigne
I need help locating a decent song of Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade, and perhaps another copy of Always Be My Baby by David Cook, since I suspect the one I've added is a dud. XD

I shall have to reconsider whether I can add more JE songs in. If you have English/any other language songs, do add them as well. But other than that, no limits are set on number/kind of songs. Do you guys feel that the playlist loads very slowly? Do we need to narrow down the number of songs?

Kyoka, I couldn't find one of your songs. :(

Request away! Most of these songs I have not heard before, so if someone has uploaded the song wrongly and it's...well, not the song that it claims to be, let me know too! Thankies!

3-5 - 3 people voted for this.

13-17 - 3 people voted for this.

All of the blogs - 2 people voted for this.

None - 2 people voted for this (who?! XD)

1-2 - one person voted for this.

6-8 - one person voted for this.

Hmm...interesting layout there...

New poll: Do you listen to or plan to listen to the forum's playlist on the blog?

Head down now! ^_~

~ SNAPSHOT~ ~

~ is full. XD Unfortunately. Filled in 11 days by fanfiction.net's date system...are we trying to beat FR's forum or something, folks?

Visit the new flooding thread - AI~BoT - Artistically Intellectual Banter or Talk, curtesy of awin who thought up the name. Excellent! Reminds me of AI. XDD

LET'S SEE HOW LONG WE CAN FILL THIS THREAD UP! IT'S A CHALLENGE! BRING IT ON!!

(I'm slightly insane this morning, so. Sorry!)

~rage-chan, as you can probably tell...

EDIT: As awin pointed out, Rain helped in the name-making too. Much thanks!!

~ Layout fixed ~

There were some problems with the size of the player, and I offered to help. It took me a while, but I finally got it working after adjusting the size of the layout. I also added some simple codes so that some of the things in the sidebar look nicer, and made the c-box a little bit wider.

Anyway, the player is up and running, and I spent some time adjusting the color, so I hope you guys find it satisfying. XD I might adjust the color more later, but I'm too tired.

I have only tested this in Firefox, so if you have IE, feel free to test it for me and tell me if anything is wrong. I'll be glad to help... Though I should be in bed.

So off I go~ 'Night everyone! (2:10 AM X_X)

~Rea♥

P.S. I didn't turn on the autoplay, so you have to click for the player to play if you want music. However, I would like you all to state whether you would want the autoplay feature or not. I'll update the player in a day or two, so please leave your opinions!

~ New Poll~ ~

The old poll 'Which of the below appeals more to you?' has been closed. Thank you for your votes!

Results:

A briefcase packed with $100 bills, $500 goft voucher for the bookshop and a sleepover with friends got the most votes, having 6 votes each.

Traveling to overseas or international countries came in second with 5 votes. ^^ (Where would you like to go would be another poll question?)

A brand new computer and a diamond necklace came in third with 4 votes each.

The pillow, $500 gift voucher for clothes and a brisk walk in the sunset got 3 votes each. Wow. I didn't really expect anyone to vote for the pillow other than me. *shot*

Having a hot bath caught 2 people's interest. ^^

A pet, reading with music on, hiding in your room stalking kids on the Net, having time with family and fast food got a vote each. Who's the mystery person who voted for the stalkerism?? 'Fess up! XD

No one voted for a comfortable pair of shoes or spending time with friends at the mall. Aww.

Now head over to the new poll: 'How many of the forumer's blogs do you read or check up on everyday?'

This is rage-chan! I'd better go change deh posting name...O.o From now on, Vio, ezyl-chan, remember to sign off with your names because the posting name will now be...

'Forum Flooders'

*shot for her uncreative skillz*

This is to celebrate the forum reaching 50,000 posts!! XD

~ Whoever said numbers aren't important... ~

As Awin has picked up in Random Celebrating, Pointless but Original has...
reached our 50,000th post!

<(^.^)> (>^.^)> ^(^.^)^ <(^.^<) <(^.^)>

If I have calculated correctly, in the past year, there has been 50 members and 46 topics. Average it out, and every member has posted about 1,000 times*.

Awin: "If we were in general forums, we'd be in ... sixth. XD."

Slacky: *tosses 50,000 sponges*

[This statistical review is brought to you by ezyl, who is very unfit for blogging because she is not as clever as Vio-chan and rage-chan to find something creative. o.o;]

*Of course, this is far from correct, as the fore-mentioned bodies of water have probably posted three-to-ten times as much to average out the number of forumers who are not as active. :D

~ With...awin! Because adding a -chan after awin is plain weird. ~

Long title. *shot*

Second interview, and this time, it's with awin, one of the forum's mods! *A* Enjoy, people~ (What am I supposed to say anyway?! Something spectacularly fantastic??) This time, I've simply copied and pasted the whole MSN conversation, so I haven't edited words or anything. Straight from the horse's mouth! *shot* Can be confusing, but...^^'

rage-chan: I'm going to do this off the top of my head, okay?

awin: Sure xD

rage-chan: Um................................*blank* HOW TALL ARE YOU?

awin:...No comment >_> I'm...tall enough. -Almost- as tall as Dudly. Really.

rage-chan: WHY NO COMMENT?!

awin:...Yeah XD

rage-chan: So how tall is Dudly then?

awin:...5'6"? I'm ... almost almost almost as tall as her *nods* I never lie.

rage-chan: (I shall have to translate that into cm as well.) Okay. Is that statement really true - "I never lie."?

awin: xD

rage-chan: So you've never lied before?

awin: Of course it is. I never lie, so thus, that sentence is not a lie n_n Of course I haven't, Rage-chan XD

rage-chan:......@_@

awin: (note from rage - insert scary emoticon here) Dare to say otherwise?

rage-chan: I shall take you at your word. (No I wouldn't dare to say otherwise, all-mighty awin...is that a knife I see?!) Do you like animals?

awin: Animals? Usually, yeah, though I'd exclude humans from there XD And bugs too.

rage-chan: Bugs? Why do you like bugs?

awin: I meant, I'd exclude bugs XD XD Especially flies >_>

rage-chan: Oh. I thought you meant you LIKED bugs as well. Scared me a bit. Flies are icky. Spiders are eww~ON WITH DEH INTERVIEW. Would you say you're a world-conscious person? Are you concerned with global warming etc?

awin: Yes indeed. I don't know, humans are pretty big idiots about things like this and I don't think enough people are doing things to help D: So I suppose I'm world-conscious XD

rage-chan: Do you make a sort of effort to play your part in reducing carbon emmisions? Like not leaving the television on for too long? (I think I spelled emmisions wrongly, lol...)

awin: Emissions. It's emissions, Rage-chan.

rage-chan: OK.

awin: And yeah. XD I'm the one in my house who goes around turning off lights XD Only to have them turned back on by my family, of course >_>

rage-chan: That sounds so funny for some reason. XD I can imagine it now. How many musical instruments can you play decently?

awin: Um... Let me think. XD Piano, alto, tenor, trumpet, recorder (does that count? XD), ocarina... Which makes six XD

rage-chan: Yes, a recorder counts. So would it be safe to assume that you enjoy music? Which is your favourite instrument?

awin: I like my piano. My Petrof is the best. XD (And music is nice, yeah, though I don't take it XDDD)

rage-chan: How long have you been playing the piano?

awin: Ummm...Wow, my memory fails. Let me think. XD Since grade two, which mades nine years....Wait, no, makes eight years.

rage-chan: *memory of a goldfish* Is that from page 24 of Snapshot? *innocent* Or was it not you? (That's a long time.)

awin: Yeah, that was me, though it wasn't too correct. It's not fair to the goldfish if I compare to them XD Yeah, pretty long XD

rage-chan: ..and not the other way around? Now, awin, tell me where you keep your blacklist of people. *shot*

awin: No, not the other way around...and I have to tell?

rage-chan: YES. You keep a blacklist, don't you?

awin: Do I? XD I suppose you know, being on it XD

rage-chan: Surely you do have one! And yes, I do know that I'm on it!

awin:...xD And my blacklist, well...I just remember n_n

rage-chan: (Make it quick because I have to go soon~)

awin: I don't feel safe writing it down XD

rage-chan: Y-e-s?

awin: And there, done XD

rage-chan: Ha?! So it's in your head?? How many people are on the blacklist? Besides me?

awin: Yeah n_n My brain's the safest place to be 'cause even I don't know how to get around it XD How many?

rage-chan: HOW MANY. STOP PARROTING ME.

awin: Do you mean only forum kids?

rage-chan: Uh...yes. Forum people.

awin: Hmmm. At the moment, there are seven. xD Isn't seven a nice number?

rage-chan: ...Seven? *exhales in relief* I thought there would be more. MIND DISCLOSING THE BLACKLIST INFORMATION? ^^

awin: No way. xD Well, you know you're on it n_n

rage-chan: >.<>

awin: So that's one n_n Just saying, just saying XD

rage-chan: Do you like baking, awin?

awin: I -like- baking, yes. It's just that I can't XD

rage-chan: Ah. Let's say you could have some of the forumers over to your house to bake...a cake. Or something. Who would you invite, and what would you bake?

awin: First of all, I wouldn't bake, because I don't want to have things on fire in my oven again XD

rage-chan: OH but you have forumers to help, ne?

awin: And do I have a limit on the number of forumers? XD

rage-chan: YES. Maximum 5?

awin: I'd bake tiramisu. xD If there were forumers who could do that.

rage-chan: Don't you have a cookbook?

awin: I'd invite Dudly, Rain-chan, and three people who could bake tiramisu. *nods* Do I? XD I actually don't know. Which is a bit sad. xD

rage-chan: Daisy bakes a lot.

awin: Daisy doesn't burn cookies in her oven, I bet. XD

rage-chan: You could get her. One day I might interview her on her cakes, no?

awin: xDD Hmmm, well, I'd invite the people who could bake the best XD I'm a pig, can't help it XD

rage-chan: I'm going to type a long question. Be quiet for a minute. *shot* Shoot. I meant to delete that question. Stop pressing enter, my fingers!! Anyway. Imagine this scenario: A girl and her boyfriend are walking along the pavement, admiring the things displayed so prettily in the shop. Suddenly, there is a screech of tyres on the road, and a car pulls up right beside them. Two men leap out. One of them grab the girl. The boyfriend realizes that this is a kidnapping (no duh, but.). He tries to save his girlfriend, being the idealistic type of guy, but fails as the men get back in the car and drive away. In his desperation, he jumps out on the road, fully intending to chase the car, but instead is tragically hit by another speeding car and dies on the spot. Two days later, the girl is found dead in some sort of sewer, as her parents couldn't pay the ransom demanded. The kidnappers were never found. This is the basic plot of your school's tragedy drama. Which character would you choose to play, and why? Okay, you can answer now. Sorry.

awin: xDD I'm no good at acting, so I'd choose to be the kidnappers. XD So I could cover my face and pretend I didn't have anything to do with the play afterwards XD

rage-chan: Good reason. XD

awin: Also, being hit be a car would -really really suck-. How would one act that out? XD

rage-chan: It would, wouldn't it? The drama teacher will figure something out. ^^'

awin: xD

rage-chan: Probably have people holding this cardboard car and stuff. *shot*

awin: ...Wow, getting hit by a cardboard car. >_>

rage-chan: Out of all the forumers, who would you most love to flood with currently? (The cardboard car can hurt too. *shot*)

awin: I'd say, currently, Rain-chan. xD 'Cause flooding with Rain-chan ends up with weird conversations. XD Oh, or Slacky XD 'Cause right now Rain-chan pops in and out XD
rage-chan: And weird conversations are always good. If you lived next door to Rain-chan, would you get her something for her birthday?

rage-chan: (Slacky is awesome to flood with, no? ^_____^)

awin: Of course I'd get her something XD And since I live in the Asianest of Asian places in Canada, I swear, I could get her something for NEWS/KAT-TUN or whatever band it is she likes XD Or of course I could poison her with my baking. There is that. XD

rage-chan: I'm sure she'll love that! ^^ Okay, this is going to be a long interview to type. *shot* No, don't kill Rain-chan! Thanks for being interviewed! I'll try to have this up ASAP. One last question: What is number 1 on your list if 'hates'?

awin: Can't you just copy and paste and get rid of the ____ says? Number 1 on my list of hates? ...You don't mean people, do you? XD

rage-chan: Not people. Things. I'll see what I can do about the copy and paste thing. ^^

awin: People who use bad grammar when they can choose not to. (You can look at my insanely geeky icon for further reference XD)

rage-chan: (I thought coffee with milk and sugar would be 1, but apparently not. )

awin: Oh, that's not that bad. XD I don't have to drink it. xD

rage-chan: (I don't get your icon, to be honest.)

awin:...Oh, that makes me cry. Per say is a common misspelling of per se.

rage-chan: Because I'm not clever enough.

awin: 'Cause they're pronounced the same? You know? D:

rage-chan: OH.

awin: Right? Okay n_n Rage-chan, you scared me for a sec there XD

rage-chan: I have horrible English. I just typed horibble, then edited it to horible. *shot*

awin:... >_> I'm going to ignore that XD So yes, this interview is over? n_n

rage-chan: Yes, you should. And yes, it is. Thanks! You're awesome to talk to. ^^

awin: (Talking to me is bad for your brain xD)

--

Even copying and pasting this and then editing it took a long time. x_x

Enjoyed awin's interview? *beam* She's so very fun to talk to. And 5'6" is roughly 168 cm, which is tall. *sulk* rage-chan flies off~

~ ~

There was a publishing error in the previous Flooding article. The Crassreine Kill was mislabeled as the Crassreine Bayou. Apologies to all readers, and any inconveniences caused.

More on the flooding:

A strange abnormality occurred, as the topic turned to this - ~

The harmless tilde was turned into *drumroll please* -sperm-

And what led to this irregular clash of waters?

Fingers point towards the Absurd Musings Basin. The unnatural high velocity of the basin churned out the trigger comment. We quote : "~ are like sperm tails. 8D"

Following which, each of the major water bodies overbore their banks with protest... and agreement.

The opinions of the various water bodies shall now be listed here as quotes...

"That's more disturbing than Pedo!Daisy. XDDD” (A random thought - when I press the caps lock, the punctuation becomes like this - ” but without, it‘s like this “...)

" I'M TOO GIDDY TO SHOOT PEOPLE.
...
But that sperm comment totally deserved it XD"


"o~ lol sperm XDDDD" (GUESS WHO SAID THAT?? And added something even more pervy, besides.)


"True. How come I never thought of that?"
"I don't wanna use ~ ever again...
T_T"

"They are sperm tails~~~~ That's a tails sperm. 8D"

"TT-TT Daisy I dislike you at the moment."

----

Due to the severe unrest in these waters, I reccomend folks to get out their umbrellas for several days n_n Before the waterfalls start forming.

P.S. Umbrellas specially suited to protecting you from the flood shall be sold at $1000000 each. Interested purchasers, please approach Vio-chan! Arigato! =)
Umbrellas are inflatable, deflatable, extendable, edible, legible, and one size fits all. ;)

~ ~crack~ ~

~ <- See this? Who 'reinvented' it as the 'sperm'?

Take a guess from the below people:

a) Rain-chan
b) Jazzy-chan
c) Daisy
d) Kyoka O.o
e) Reine (entirely plausible, no?)
f) awin (ohoho...)
g) Slacky
h) Melo *shot*

If you answered a)...........

YOU ARE WRONG. DAISY DID IT FIRST, I THINK.

~ are like sperm tails. 8D


See? Quoted from page 25 of Snapshots. Although Rain did her best to move it along by filling up an entire post with that squiggly little thing and asking me to credit her hard work. XD See her artistic flair with sperm-like...symbols! *shot* First post on that page! XD

(She's not the only guilty one either. XD)

Good evening, ladies!

Due to heavy rainfall (it -is- the rainy season right now, anyway!), the nearby water bodies have overflowed, causing a spike in the amount of flooding in the Snapshot thread this afternoon.

The bodies of water concerned were : (I'm using everyone's pennames now, if you prefer your actual names/nicknames to be uhh.. named? Please tell me. ^^) The Apple Snapple Nile, the Easily Forgotten River, the Crassreine Bayou, the Absurd Musings Basin, the Hiyoshi-kun-is-awesome Channel, the Kyoka Barachois, the Sweet Obsidian Rain Arroyo, and the Lake Violetglow.

More on the resulting drainage basin later.
This has been Vio-chan reporting from PoT Exclusive. n_n

-excuse my lameness, there's been too much geography stuck in my head-

~ New thread~ ~

New flooding thread, I must add. We go through those faster than underwear, I swear.

*shot*

Rain very kindly used my previous suggestion of Snapshot for the naming of the new flooding thread, so here it is! Snapshot - manned by Fuji Syusuke and it's our carbon print in the atmosphere. Think about all the times we spent in front of the computer foruming, people...

To counter that, click some of the 'help the environment' links/buttons to the right of the blog! ^^ You can also find similar buttons at my blog and A Click Away, where I got them from.

Thank you, everyone! (Mou, I missed the ending of MAFIA. *sigh*)

And...there's some new people to welcome, I do believe?

Hi to Allana-chan (what do you people call her around the forum?) and...shourin, have I welcomed you before? *shot* On the blog?

And also rIKKaIaWeSoMe - who is also new to the forum! ^^

...I need to be demoted and someone else who is more competent should be put in charge of the blog which 'supposedly' provides 'up-to-date updates' as well. *dies* You guys mind helping me out by dropping small updates in the tagbox notifying me to big updates so I can check them out? Because otherwise I don't go to the forum. *shotshot*

We also have a new thread named Meet the POT Family, which is rather funny and cool. Head over to see our 'forum family' if you haven't already! (You all probably have. I'm the last. *shot*)

EDIT: I can't get the button to fit on the sidebar, so you'll have to head off to my blog or A Click Away to find the buttons...*zzzz* Sorry!

If you scroll down the sidebar, you'll now see three new additions - Ripple's aim to aid people all over the world. Donate food, water or education just by clicking, so start clicking now! If you're more interested in the concept of give-and-take, try FreeRice? You get to improve your vocabulary and donate rice at the same time.

I will try to put up more of these sites. Is that a good idea?

Also, for the poll, you are to choose three choices only. XD Do read the question more thoroughly! ^_^

Thank you to all those who have voted and filled out the survey so far!

~ Poll results! And updates, of course. ~

Here are the poll results! Email/mail won hands down with 67% of the votes - 8 out of 12.

Other won second, with the answers given as livejournal and courtrecords.

The forum and Youtube both got a vote each, so they tied for third place. ^^

I always check my mail first too. I thought getting 30 spam mails was bad, but my mum opened hers after two or three days and I saw that she had 799 spam emails. *dies*

The next poll: Which of the below appeals more to you? Check it out in the sidebar!

Also, if you have the time, could you please complete this small survey for me? Thank you!!

~ Blogroll ~

I'm so sorry to ask this of you guys, but for those who have blogs and are not yet linked in the sidebar, please drop a comment with your URL and I'll link to you ASAP. I know there are people who have just created blogs and dropped a line in the tagbox, the thing is, I've left things for too long and therefore I've lost the link. *shot*

So, people who have created blogs and are not yet linked, please drop a comment in the commenting system and not the tagbox. Include your blog link, and your LJ link if you have one as well.

Thankies! ♥

~ Exclusive from PoT~ ~

And the acronyms stand for Pointless but Original. -.-''

As promised, an update!

Welcome to the exclusive interview of Melo, where strange and weird questions are asked! ^_^ Some sentences have been rearranged so they make coherent sense, but the wording is all retained to the best of my ability. ^^ Ready? Keep liquids away from your laptop to avoid sudden spitting! (awin, you should heed my warning!) Read on!

rage-chan (me, as the interviewer via MSN): Let's start with some simple questions. Feel free to ramble. How old are you, Melo?

Melo (the interviewee who has no rights XD): I'm 15. Doesn't seem so, but I am. Dx AND I KNOW I LOOK UNDER 15, BUT STILLLLLLL. XD I'LL BE ABLE TO WATCH NC16 MOVIES NEXT YEAR!

rage-chan: XD True. How old would you LIKE to be, then?

Melo: XDDD I would like to be 17. PAST THE O LEVELS, NOT YET A LEVELS, NOT YET AN ADULT.

rage-chan: You're close to reaching your goal! O.o

Melo: XD YESH.

rage-chan: Do you have any siblings?

Melo: Yesh. One younger brother who's SQUEE adorable at times and GRRRRR irritating at others. Dx You'll know what it feels like if you have siblings.

rage-chan: YES I DO know! But mine stays annoying all the time. XD Choose from one of the following: a sword, an ax, a bow and arrows or poisoned daggers.

Melo: Heh...a bow and arrows. BECAUSE LEGOLAS GAVE ME A REALLY GOOD IMPRESSION OF IT. :3 And archery is so cool! You get to shoot from far, far away!

rage-chan: O.o You're elegantly violent then, at least according to my warped impression...Legolas is cool, isn't he?!?! YES! *squeals* Ahem...getting sidetracked here...Think about when you put your shoes on. Which shoe do you slip on first, the left one or the right one?

Melo: HAHAH elegantly violent?! XD -raises eyebrows- The right one. XD LEGOLAS IS SO COOL. <3

rage-chan: (If you use a sword you're just plain violent, if you chose an ax you're outright violent, if you want poisoned daggers you're sneakily violent??) Right? I think I do mine left.

Melo: HAHAHA. SNEAKILY VIOLENT. What would you choose then, rage-chan? ^^ I don't know, sometimes I do left but mostly it's right.

rage-chan: Next...what would you like for a birthday present? The ideal present? (I would choose bow and arrow too, also because of *squee* Legolas!)

Melo: (Sorry, I digress a lot...DxLOL yes Legolas all the WAAAAAY. :3)

rage-chan: I DIGRESS A LOT TOO~

Melo: I would like A SERIES OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS. OR A SERIES OF MOVIES. OR ANIME. 8D ([s]or a hot guy...[/s])

rage-chan: NAME 'EM! WHAT SERIES? WHAT ANIME?

Melo: HMM. CURRENTLY I WOULD LOVE EYESHIELD 21. XD OR FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST. I WANT THE MAXIMUM RIDE SERIES, OR THE TWILIGHT SERIES. (I DO LIKE TWILIGHT. XD)

rage-chan: GOOD CHOICE. For FMA anyway. Shin would agree with you on Eyeshield 21. TWILIGHT'S FOURTH BOOK IS COMING OUT~ I WANNA READ~ (and again I digress).

Melo: :33333 (me too XDDD)

rage-chan: I'm waiting for the first book to come to me so I can read it again~

Melo: ZOMG YOU BETTER SAY YOU PREFER EDWARD. XD THOUGH JACOB SOUNDS QUITE CUTE TOO.

rage-chan: I LOVE EDWARD. JACOB HAS NOTHING ON HIM (OMH AWIN WILL SPAZ WHEN SHE READS THIS.) JACOB HAS NOOOTHING ON EDWARD CULLEN~!!!!! AND I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION.

Melo: HAHAHA OKAY. AWIN WILL KILL US. XD

rage-chan: Imagine that you are going to live in an apartment with a room mate. Describe your ideal room mate. (Go crazy with description if you so wish.)

Melo: [s]A HOT GUY[/s]. Ummm, a funny, bubbly girl who's not exactly tidy (or I'll get scolded every day of my life) and she must be willing to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND GO SHOPPING OR HOLD MOVIE MARATHONS WITH ME. SHE MUST BE GOOD AT MATHS (SO SHE CAN HELP ME XD). SHE MUST LIKE PARTIES AND SLEEPOVERS SO WE CAN HOLD THEM. AND SHE CAN CO-WRITE FANFICS WITH ME TOO. :3 HAHAHA. AND SHE MUST LIKE ANIME! AND BOOKS! BETTER STILL IF SHE CAN COOK! XDDDD -shot many many many times-

rage-chan: THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. Why not a cute guy? XD DOES SHE HAVE TO BE RICH?

Melo: HAHAH RICH WOULD BE A PLUS BUT NOT NECESSARY. Oops, I was spamming caps lock. Anyway not a cute guy because I wouldn't be able to focus on anything. XD And I'll have to make sure that everything I do is not embarrassing etc.

rage-chan: Kyahahah TRUE! Like waking up first thing in the morning! All right, a few more questions and I'll have to go. How tall are you approximately?

Melo: ZOMG.

rage-chan: ZOMG is not a measurement! *shot*

Melo: I AM LIKE. 156 CM THE LAST TIME I MEASURED. AND THAT'S BECAUSE MY TEACHER VERY NICELY ROUNDED UP. HAHAHA.

rage-chan: YOU'RE SO TALL. *dies* DO YOU LIKE GLOMPS?

Melo: NOOOOOOOO. FOR THE PREVIOUS COMMENT.

rage-chan: NOOOOO? XD

Melo: AND YESSSSSSSSSSS. I LOVE GLOMPPPPPPPPPS. :D -though in real life my friend glomps people with her boobs, so...-

rage-chan: Ouch. That's strictly for males only. *shot* LAST QUESTION.

Melo: HAHAHA. OH MAN, AND THIS WAS GETTING FUN!

rage-chan: If you had to be stranded on an island without any electronic devices, which 5 forumers would you bring along (to be stranded with you) and why would you condemn them to such torture??? XD

Melo: HMMM. I WOULD BRING RAIN BECAUSE SHE HAS AWESOME CORRUPTING POWERS. And the monkeys will listen to her and give us their bananas!

rage-chan: And coconuts. Don't forget the coconuts they can throw. XD

Melo: HAHAHA. YES, AND THAT. XD

rage-chan: 5 forumers! *prod*

Melo: I know~~ I WANNA BRING KYOKA-SAN. Because she can kayak! XD And maybe get us out or something, but that's fat hope.

rage-chan: Kyahaha, true~ good reasoning!

Melo: Aaaaaaand, (there are so many awesome forumers D;)

rage-chan: I'm sure no one will kill you if they leave you out! >.<

Melo: Yeah, man. XD Who'd want to be stranded on an island? XD

rage-chan: YOU ARE NOT GIVEN A CHOICE. XD This is an interview!! *shot*

Melo: I would bring Salsal-chan (or anyone extremely cute) so they could POUT AND CUTESIFY THE BEASTS. ROAAAAAAAAAR. ...... Okaaay, so that was rubbish...

rage-chan: I'll count that Sal-chan. TWO MORE FORUMERS AND MAKE THAT QUICK BEFORE MY MUM CATCHES ME~

Melo: OKAY~ Er, awin-chan?? So she can DOMINATE ZEH FOREST. HOHOHO. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST YOU, RAGE-CHAN. BECAUSE YOU MADE ME ANSWER THIS QUESTION. XDDDD -shot-

rage-chan: OHOHOHOH. NICE ANSWER. I WOULD HAVE HAD TO KILL YOU WITH MY NEWLY OBTAINED ELEGANTLY VIOLENT BOW AND ARROW HAD YOU NOT CHOSEN ME. *shot*

Melo: HAHAHAHA XD

rage-chan: Kidding. *sweatdrops*

Melo: I'D DECIDED ON THE LAST BUT NOT LEAST FROM THE BEGINNING~

rage-chan: Okay, this concludes the interview! *bows* Thank you for taking part!

Melo: THANKS RAGE-CHAN FOR TAKING THE TIME TO INTERVIEW ME THE LOWLY HUMAN!

rage-chan: AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BE INTERVIEWED BY A LOWLY HUMAN! *glomp*

Thus concludes this extremely interesting interview, no? ^_^ Did you all keep your laptops nice and dry?

Watch out for a PM in your email for the next interview invitation...who shall it be?

(Typos are all mine!)

~ CELEBRATIONS! ~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FORUM which has turned a tender and very young year old! (O.o that sentence sounded weird.) Anyway, it's now a year old and it's still GROWING STRONG, so please show your support for the forum by flooding it. In the appropriate places. XD

Rain has offered to make a mascot and a logo for the forum. If anyone has ideas, or rough sketches, they are very much welcome to submit them to me please (so I can huggle them to myself first, XD) and I will post them on the blog here and share them with Rain and everyone else. What do you think?

(This is all entirely up to you, of course. Pass the goodwill on!)

Also, Dudly is making a Powerpoint presentation, and if I remember correctly, she needs pictures of the lovely forumers. Preferably pictures which show you in a good light, of course. No weird, abstract bananas claiming to be you. ^^ Again, feel free to link us to it in the cbox or email me with the link. After all, one good thing this blog can do that the forum can't is to put up piccies. ^_^

Have something to dedicate to the forum? Comment or drop a line in the cbox! I'm sure the mods will appreciate this! >.<
