I think my generation is the last that has the possibility of becoming out of touch. The next generation will be born into the prevalent "NOW" and "adaptable" socio-economic sphere. They'll be so used to technology that they won't have to worry about not being in the know, so to speak.

I find it prevalent that my career choice (film production and editing) has a lot less females that it should have because of the assumption that the filmmaking industry has always been a man's game. In reality, the few females in my porduction and editing classes are usually the best.

I'm going off to university in a couple of weeks, so I'll be living in a dorm and technically not living at home (even though home isn't too far away) but I'm by no means so attached to living on my own that I wouldn't go back if I needed to. Also, depending on situations, moving back home...

Openings: Bokurano Neon Genesis Evangelion Endings: Black Lagoon Spice and Wolf

It's a beautifully composed film on all levels. I think the running time was milked a bit because it dragged in the middle, but apart from that pacing issue it was indeed awesome.

For those interested, the following image was done by several film analysts and explains what happened quite well. If the moderation team thinks the image is too large/spoiler-ish, I'll edit and tag it.

I call this "blank-stare.png"

I wouldn't say Iceland is completely unkown by any means. The twelve-year old on Xbox isn't a good representation of most Enlgish speakers by any means. I have a lot of respect for your country, especially after learning that you guys elected an openly gay president. I doubt America would ever...

The legal hurdles that come with marriage at a young age really outweigh the positives (none of which come to mind, really) As for myself, I don't plan on religious marriage, but legal cohabitation. I'm an agnostic who really doesn't see the point of religious confirmation of a relationship...

"Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved rather than that of loving, of one's capacity to love." ~Erich Fromm The German psychoanalyst is right here, I think. In his text The Art of Loving, Fromm really does a wonderful job at looking at love from an analytic...

If you're feeling ambitious, you could always try some of the hits by master jazz pianist Thelonius Monk. His stuff is usually a crowd pleaser.

Apart from the odd quotation mark parts, It was a nice read. I'm not usually a big fan of "large-text-for-emphasis" but it really made your story a lot more funny. Nice job. Also, for the time being, you could always replace the quotations with italics.

CHAPTER 2: TENSIONS I'm not sure what to think of you, Volkner. You remind me of a matured version of Zoe. Well, there's the gender difference, too. I imagine Jasmine must have told you when she spoke to you. I think that our tension that revolves around talking to you and Zoe is...

Some of the more classic jazz artists (Theolonius Monk, John Coltrane, Miles Davis), some rap (Wu-Tang, Poor Righteous Teachers, Pharcyde) and 90s pop (Atomic Kitten, Christinia Aguilera, and Enrique Ingelsias) and am pretty into the punk (Gang of Four, Ramones) and the underground punk scene...

Holo, Spice and Wolf ~ She's just an amazing character. Part of the reason why I would say that S&W was my favorite series from 2008 is because of her. She's complex, but nevertheless you can always pick up on the subtle hints that she lets go of in her emotional moments. Mugi, K-On!! ~...
