There is no Caucasia!
This kid at my school today, Frank, was on some ethnic kick this morning. He's Korean, but rest assured, he's never like that. He's usually calm and subdued. What he said was SO funny, though.

Frank was talking to one of his friends and he was like "asians are better, know why? Bec-"
Friend (who's blond haired, blue eyed): "asians aren't better you dork." Frank: "Yes they are because Asia is a real place. Tell me, where is caucasia?" Friend: "um... america, england, some other places. duh."
Frank: That's not a real place. Caucasia isn't a real place so I win. :p"

It was HILARIOUS what he said. I was cracking up so much, it was just that funny (at the time). As I've told Lumi a while ago, "Asian is in Caucasian!" And that's my story of the day.

back
I got my computer back yesterday, I'm all good. Be patient with me adding people back on my b/l, mmkay? (not that any of you care, anyways.)

I'm going to be playing the piano for someone who wants to sing in a talent show. Has anyone ever done that? Can those people help me out and give me some pointers? Am I supposed to play the melody of the right hand, or let them sing that? H-E-L-P DAMMIT. (please?)

Portents Gather
HOLY BAJEEZES, THAT CRAZY LOON ROXANNE IS BACK! DAMN!

Today is the Ides of March, and I told you all that I'd post once more on that date (you all probably forgoteth. XD). And by the way, "Portents Gather" is the name of a chapter in The Oddessy by Homer. Portents are Omens. I've read that book AND Julius Caesar, among other works of literature. ^^;;;

The point is, I did miss some of you dearly, I found out some stuff about myself, how to handle things, and I'm ready to put that into action, if you will. So, yeah, I'm back (as the crowd unanimously says "damn!"), but I won't really be back for a while.

You see, my C drive is basically becoming worthless, and it's in the computer man's shop being replaced. The data on the old drive is being saved, hopefully transferred, etc., but I have no idea when I get my compie back. I'm using my sister's right now, and I can only use it a little bit every day.

I'm coming back soon, but I'm holding out for now. And when I come back, it'll be gradual, you know? First Ed will be put back on my b/l, I'll talk to Chris. And IF, IF that goes well, everyone else will be put back on, I'll start to browse some MyO's, and then I'll eventually check out v7 (I'm afraid to look, actually).

So yeah. See y'all soon (though you probably don't care), and um... James? Let me just say: DEJIMON FOREVER!!! IT WILL NEVER DIEEEEE!!! THOUGH THE FORUM MAY BE GONE (and for that you get a "you suck") DIGIMON LIVES FOREVER!!!!! BUWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

(^ that was in true Roxie Style, ne? ;P)

Goodbye for now
I remember making a promise to one of my first i-net friends that I'd always be there.

I'm still going away for a month or so, but I won't be completely gone.

If anyone ever really, seriously need to talk to me for some reason, e-mail is still an option. My address is moonbeamxvi@aol.com . Heh.

Other than that, I'm going to miss all of you so much. I have to do this though. Talking to someone (you know who you are) helped a lot, but other people can't do it all.

It was so hard though, to leave Ed. I got to meet him IRL for the first time, and then I had to look at him and say goodbye. As if I had just made a new friend, and had to move to a new town. It was so difficult.

I can't turn back now. I have to do this. I have to...

Happy Valentines Day, I love you all...

I'm off on a journey
I liked the Joan of Arcadia episode tonight. It was new and really cool. ^^;


In other news, I'd like to announce that I'm leaving the 'net, at least for a while. The minimum would be a month, but I'm pushing for two months. I'll let you guys know in about one month, on the ides or March. This isn't a stunt or a random idea. I've been thinking about it for the past couple days and it is appealing to me.

I realized I spend more time online, and obsessing over online occurrences than I do IRL. I need to think about all of them, and all my online relationships, and put my life in perspective.

Charles said once that this is all just pixels on a screen. Chris (JC Baggee) told me that online forums are just bits of HTML that change every so often with opinions. He also said that it's easier to hide behind an IP address.

Some things online aren't as real as real life. I shouldn't take everything online, every friendship online, so seriously, and yet I do. Granted, this doesn't mean that if an online friend moved to my town, I'd ignore them completely (infact I'd be ecstatic), but some of the things that happen here, I shouldn't get so worked up about.

I need time to think about things that have happened online. I need time to start being a little less passionate about online things.

I guess you could say it's a journey for me. It's really reflection of situations and self reflection, too.

Odd, how I can see an online friend screaming "BS, Roxie." Heh. see? I even think about what online people would say.

Heh. During this period, everyone on my AIM buddy list (you can only IM me if you're on it), will be taken off, save Chris for AHB purposes. I will stop posting at OB, I will stop posting on myO. The only place where I will remain online is at AHB, because of moderator duties.

I leave on February 15th. I will perhaps, keep Ed(non OBer) on my b/l until the 16th, to talk one last time after our meeting, but that's going to be it. Sayonara everyone. I hope I come back...

Death of a Chat
I feel like I'm the only one who cares that the chat died. Oh well. Here's my Eulogy -- ALL IN GOOD FUN, YOU FLAMING IDIOTS.

Dear friends, we are gathered here today to... mourn the loss of something close to our hearts. Tehsillycircus.

Born into the world of online chatting on Thursday, January 21st, 2004, JapanOB86 was "teh" creator of the chatroom.

Exuberant and joyful at first, OtakuBoards members flocked to the chat, eager to talk and see the newborn.

The life of a chatroom is precious, but many do not realize this, and most privately created chats die within the night. Tehsillycircus lasted the night, and grew into a young chat-ling, over the days. It even celebrated its one week anniversary (equivalent to 14 years of human age), with a banner as a present. But there was tragedy to come.

The chat became drab, and tehsillycircus started to be unappreciated. There was a conspiracy to plot against the room. And barely a week after its creation, tehsillycircus was cut down in its prime, by a man who will not be named (*coughdescough*).

That's alright, we suppose. Perhaps there is still hope of a resurrection of tehsillycircus. And even though it is no longer with us, we will always remember tehsillycircus...

   "tehsillycircus"
It's Friday and I'm sorely pissed off that Joan of Arcadia is not new.

On the bright side, I made a banner for the on-going chat.



And the thread for it is at: http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=550186. So all, please post. :-)

Hand writing quiz
If anyone wants totake the test, go to: http://www.free-handwriting-analysis.com. I've cut out the introduction and ending paragraphs. If you really want to read them, it's the same on every analysis so you can read themJuu's results; I know they're there. This is my hand writing analysis:

Cheryl Patrick here...

Let's begin!

Interesting... You checked that your writing has "noticeable, pointy-like hooks in the lower case letters c, d, or a. This "stinger" indicates a love-hate relationship with strong members of the opposite sex.

It's funny, even though you have a compelling attraction towards these strong individuals, you often create little challenges throughout the relationship to test their strength. In dating, you love the chase, but often get bored once you capture your prey.

This unconcious pattern often stems from your childhood relationship with the opposite gender parent.

Regarding letter size... you clicked "Very large". This implies that you have a driving need for social interaction. I would guess you're right at home at a party... as a matter of fact... let's face it, you're the LIFE of the party. People with very large handwriting are also able to juggle several things at the same time, but often get bored if they have to focus on one task too long.

------------------------------------------
Concerning the letter slant of your sample (slant reveals emotional outlay)... you chose "Vertical". You use logical sound judgments to make decisions. You're ruled by your head, not your heart. You tend to be cool, calm and collected and are good under pressure. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, you have poise.

Some may see you as "detached" or "unemotional". It's not that you don't feel emotions, you just have more discernment when and with whom you express your inner most feelings. You keep them inside longer than most people do. (If your writing is very large you can be very social, friendly and talkative, but still emotionally logical.)

The first time someone makes you mad, you probably won't say anything. But, you'll mentally put a mark on the wall and keep your mouth shut until they piss you off again and again. Then, BOOM! You'll explode, all that pent-up anger comes pouring out! And, you won't feel any regret at all, because you know they deserved it.

It may sound harsh, but you're ruled by self-interest. In emotional situations you ask yourself, "What's best for me?" And, unlike others, you actually have the discipline to follow your logic rather than your emotional whims.

In a relationship, you tend to show your affection by the things you DO rather than the things you SAY. The only exception is if your mate has expressed a need to hear "I love you" on a daily basis, then you'll gladly express this out of respect for your partner's needs.
---------------------------------------------
Alternately, this works well, too:
Concerning the letter slant of your sample (slant reveals emotional outlay)... you chose "Midway between vertical and hard right-slant". Your emotional outlay is exactly halfway between an introvert and an extrovert. So, you have the best of both worlds: the ability to think logically and make hard decisions and at the same time you can still be very emotional... which means that you can spend time and get along with both types of people.

Your emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, you can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. And even put yourself in the other person's shoes. When convincing you to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal. You're an expressive person and aren't afraid to outwardly show your emotions. You probably cry when you hear a sad story, and you always take a box of Kleenex to the wedding...
---------------------------------------------


Relating to the letters "d" and "t", your selection of "Retraced stem that is taller than normal" indicates that you demand respect and expect others to treat you with dignity. This trait is one component of integrity and usually leads to someone taking extra care in maintaining their appearance and their reputation.

I'd be willing to bet that you look at yourself in the mirror more than twice a day... won that one, didn't I?

Looking at the letter "i", you chose "i-dot is just about normal". This is a good trait to have, because it shows loyalty... a true commitment to stand by those people or ideas that you truly believe in.

Oh boy... the letter "o"... this is a very insightful letter. When you picked "Exit loops on the right side", that told me you can be VERY secretive. As a matter of fact, the larger your inner loop, the more you tend to avoid giving complete and straight answers. You won't lie, but you won't just spout off information freely either. Your best defense is to answer questions with questions... "Would I say that?"

Excellent characteristic!!! When I asked about the shape of the tops of the humps in the letters "m" and "n", you chose "Vary between rounded and pointed". This is the best of both kind of thinkers. You can process information both in a cumulative/procedural fashion and also in a comprehensive/fast fashion. This means that you can adapt to the people around you. If you're with a slow talker, you can slow down and explain every detail. If you're talking to someone who only wants the "bottom-line", big picture facts, you can speed up your thinking.

This is an important trait! When I asked you how high the t-bar is crossed on the stem of the letter "t", you chose "Crosses near top". This is the best place you could cross it... because this tells me you're ambitious and set high goals for yourself.

According to recent research, a majority of self-made millionaires and other successful people tend to cross their t-bars on the top of the stem as a result of their good self esteem. You may not be rich YET, but at least you like yourself and can set high goals. A good sense of self-worth is the best personality trait you can have for healthy relationships and a solid career.

When asked how the t-bar ends, you chose "Knife point toward the right". This tells me that you are a bit of a smart-ass. Uhmm... sorry... the politically correct term is "sarcastic".

You see, sarcasm is a wonderful means of defending your ego. Often this sarcasm comes out as a wry sense of humor. People love that. But, if you're at all insecure, it can be directed at others and be a bit caustic and hurtful. Might I suggest that you bite your tongue next time you want to pipe in with a smart comment.

You told me that your t-bar is predominately located "Mostly right of the stem". This stroke means indicates a short fuse when you get upset. If all of your t-bars are on the right, it means you do have a problem with your temper. (However, there are many factors that could counteract this tendency such as small writing, backwards writing or if you learned to write English in India. If so, you might not be such a hothead.)

This is a great trait! Concerning your lower case t's, the last question deals with the TILT of the t-bar. You chose "Upward toward sky"... which tells me that you're optimistic, forward thinking, and a self-starter. Optimism is one key trait of successful and happy people. So, even if your life sucks today, you automatically assume that it will be better tomorrow!

Good for you... concerning your y's and g's, you chose "Narrow... some loop". This tells me that you are very selective about who you let in your inner loop. You are choosy about your relationships... no one can accuse you of being "easy"... that's for sure.

Concerning your y's and g's, you chose "Medium loop". This tells me that you have healthy physical drives... yes, that means both sexually... and in your ambition. So, you aren't a prude but you're not a slut either... you just "like" it.

When I asked you if the first letter of your signature was larger than the other letters, you indicated that it was. This tells me you have a strong sense of who you are and a healthy "ego". I mean ego in a good way... it takes an expanded sense of self-importance to get things done and demand the world give you what you deserve.

So, your larger letters in your signature indicate a tendency to show the world your self-assured and confident side. The larger the letters... the stronger the ego. If you want to know your full self-image, re-read the section on where you cross your t-bar.

You checked that your signature was underlined... this shows that you are both self-reliant and yearn to lead others. You aren't afraid to draw attention to yourself and take charge... you have confidence in your own abilities and inner strength.

So there you are...

Until the next analysis...

(Cheryl)


Meh. I took the test many times, undecided whether my handwriting was "this" or "this" at times. The fact that I had to do so in achieving the correct results gives me a kind of :\ feeling about it. I'm not super impressed with it, since some of it was incorrect, but she has a lot of the basics right. What she got wrong:
With the first slant thingy:
*I am social but SO not the life of the party.
*I'm not "detached" or "unemotional"

Continuing:
*I AM NOT SECRETIVE YOU LOONS. I do chose my words carefully, though.
*I couldn't tell you about my sex drive as I'm still a virgin. I am quite ambitious, though. O-o


What she got right:

The first slant thingy:
*Yes, the 1st time I get mad I wont' say anything but if you concinually piss me off, I'll blow up at you.
*I am KINDA ruled by self-interest, but not at emotinal times. I like to be intuned with other's feelings, too. perhaps find a compromise btween mine and theirs? heh. ^^;;

Second slant thingy:
*I'm very emotional and like to cry a lot. Heh.

Continuing on:
*I always demand respect and LOVE looking in the mirror. Heh.
*Holy smokes, the bit about the "T" and my self image, my high goals, and everything else in the "T" area is dead on. O_o
