That's Sakura from Card Captor Sakura. She's totally adorable no matter what kind of weird face she's making, isn't she? Laughing


I thought that was her, but then second guessed myself because I didn't remember her making such a strange face, with a weird tongue like that. Razz But you're right, she is still cute anyways.

There was a thread on /a/ a day or two ago about anime girls on toilets, and the girl in the opening post's image had some kind of stick in her mouth, and participants in the thread were having a semi-serious debate over whether the object in question was a thermometer or a pregnancy test. For reasons I can’t quite remember, the thread then turned into men fighting over whether or not girls had to stick their hands in their vaginas every time they had to pee to properly "aim." That kind of mindlessly humorous conversation is exactly why I go to 4chan. It's just funny, and not meant to be taken seriously at all.



Shocked I see. I guess I can kind of understand that if you want to be entertained and such. But wow, is that completely random and out of nowhere conversation.

Y'know now we don't have a welcoming sticky in the anime forums. So I'll say Welcome to ANN, Miho. I hope you have a rewarding and enjoyable time here.

Ahh Ohio, my favorite state that starts and ends with the letter O Wink

This was supposed to take the place of the welcome thread and I recommended, and am recommending it again right now, the word welcome be put into this thread title somewhere. It seems by title like a get to know you thread and not a welcome thread, which is what it's supposed to be. So mods maybe you might want to change the title around just a bit to convey that idea. Maybe something like, "Welcome to ANN / Tell us about yourself." Plus I got mystery bags just waiting and they need homes dangit. Anime hyper

While not really new I'm going to join Past and welcome Miho to ANN. May your continued stay here be less scary then what it's probably been so far. Laughing As is/was customary I must now impart onto you your sacred mystery brown bag of super cool items. Being the long awaited (I like to tell myself that so don't ruin it for me people heh) return of the mystery bags yours is super special. Yours contains a years supply of accumulated spit from a phoenix, all of my fireworks remains from the 4th, the allspark from Transformers (I sneakily stole it for myself), the hair from a wombat ties around the feathers from a dodo (they're not extinct, they live in my basement), and the full never before released complete series of Cookie-san no Newsroom by ANN (this isn't even supposed to exist and you have no idea what I had to do to get it. I still feel dirty after 15 showers Shocked ). May these gifts bless your life, and don't forget;

Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink.

I think it's one of those things that is better to keep shrouded in psycho 101-like mystery.

Now, psycho, you must be fair, there were a bunch more posts before Miho. You better start coming up with a lot more mystery bags and quick, including one for yourself. You can skip those who you presented them to already in the old welcome thread.

Uh oh, looks like Psycho's got his work cut out for him.

Oh sometimes I like to be clever when filling out the following question in online profiles: "Blood Type"

I'm always tempted to put something like,
"whichever one is most tasty" or
"what were my blood choices again???" Twisted Evil

I noticed someone put for their favorite drink: the blood of innocents.
Cool, no my favorite drink is actually orange juice also.

Age: 36

Blood Type: O- (Anybody need a transfusion? Wink )

Location: Texas City, TX

Religion: Festivus (for the rest of us Wink )

Drink/Smoke: Drink on rare social occasions. I dabbled in smoking, but ultimately, thankfully, never picked it up.

Likes: Anime, Video Games, movies, TV, hiking in the mountains of Colorado, spending quality time with members of the fairer sex.

Dislikes: People who think they are the only customer at the pharmacy that we have( I'm a pharmacy tech BTW), people who don't signal while driving, people who bring their elementary aged children to inappropriate movies and then commence to feed them with noisy, crinkly wrapped food from outside of the theater.....ummm, yeah, stuff like that.

Favorite Anime: Cowboy Bebop, Trigun,Rahxephon, Eva, Planetes, Princess Tutu, Koi Kaze, all ROD, FMA, all FMP, Gunslinger Girl, Elfen Lied, Now and Then Here and There, Kodocha, and many more. I gotta give props to my gateway: Gall Force: Eternal Story.

Favorite Video Games: Xenosaga/gears, FF series, Tales series, Halo, N3, Zelda, RE 4, Oblivion, and lots more.

Favorite Food: T-bone steak(yay psycho!), Italian, Mexican.

Favorite Sport: I like to watch NASCAR. Go Jeff Gordon!

Favorite Music: Dance, Trance, House, 80's, anime OST's

Fun/Interesting Facts: On anime DVDs that have a credits section, I always view them and say "thanks guys" out loud to the screen.

Back in Feb 2006, Shinichiro Watanabe visited Houston and I, along with other ANN members and several ADV voice actors, was invited to the Japanese Consul General's house for a private reception. Another ANN member was allowed to interview him; however he had a sore throat and I was asked to conduct the interview! I was scared,nervous, and extremely excited at the same time. At one point while we were conversing, I mentioned that my favorite story arc of Samurai Champloo was with Sara. He replied,"That's my favorite too". Oh wow Shocked . The interview was supposed to be posted here on ANN, but never was(probably because I had zero interview experience and I literally had 5 minutes notice that I was conducting the interview. Therefore, it probably wasn't very good. I'll never forget the experience,though Very Happy

Hey, what happened to your minion? Well I shouldn't say minion as she's got her own baggage to carry with the Guess That Character Game to referee and keep track of everyone's scores.
