Sorry that I'm not blond!! Anime cry Wow, just like high school.. hehe j/k. Jadress = blond, Robin = semi-Asian.


Don't worry... They're just discriminating us for being darkhaired... Blondes aren't the only women out there, Y'KNOW!!!

J/K.

And I'm thinking into getting some strands of hair dyed almost white [not blonde, though] a la Bill Kaulitz in a Tokio Hotel video... I promise I'll put a pic once I do so (if I do get the money for it) n_nU.

I never said Meat was awesome .... being that I am a vegetarian, I find that kinda irritating that I am being lumped in with what Psycho said. haha!

Jadress sounds kinda green so I thought you had green hair!!! Shocked


Don't be jealous cause my thick hearty rich meat stew tastes better then your lettuce lol. Better watch yourself, one night when you're asleep I might sneak into your room and hide some meat under your pillow. The aroma over night would slowly turn you to our cause. One of us! One of us!

I'm surprised you went that far Jadress to look the comic up. Though, as you said, you can really see the similarities now can't you. I should add that to my info, being a comic book junky heh.

Name: Nikki (Nicole)

Gender: female

Age: 36

Location: Bay City, Michigan

Marital status: Married (we just celebrated 15 years!) with three children. Rachael 12, Ryan 10 and Reanne 7.

Pets: 3 cats - Plato (pic of him) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/fangirl89/Cat3.jpg, Sophie and Fatty...(Fatty was originally called Oliver, however Fatty fits him better, and it stuck) and 1 dog, a Jack Russel Terrier named Jacey. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/fangirl89/Dogs.jpg
The beagle in that pic was ours as well, but she had to be put down about 6 months ago (stroke/old).

Occupation: Day Care Provider and Pampered Chef Consultant

Favorite foods: Pretty much whatever is in front of me, I love food. Pizza to tacos, Italian to Chinese, I am notoriously un-picky.

Favorite Movie: Moulin Rouge, House of Flying Daggers, Memoirs of a Geisha, Matrix...?

Favorite drinks: I drink copious amounts of coffee and diet coke.

Drinks: I stopped drinking any form of alcohol this year. It isn't that I had a problem, however we both have an alcholic on each side of the family and decided it was better to not have alcohol around and to not drink. I rarely drank anyway, so it isn't a big deal, however I do sometimes miss asti which was nearly all I drank anyway.

Smokes: I quit about 5 years ago now. (yay me!) I smoked for 15 years though before that.

Favorite TV shows: hmmm, I watch a lot of kid shows, but they aren't my favorites. I like stuff we can all watch together, Little People Big World, American Idol, Discovery Channel programs. (I don't watch a ton of tv outside of anime rentals usually) Wow, I almost forgot...Heroes.

Favorite anime: There are so many, it's unfair to list just some. I like whatever I am watching 90% of the time. Now, I will name some anyway, Nerima Daikon Brothers, Card Captor Sakura, Fruits Basket, Loveless, His and Her Circumstances...

Favorite videogames: I don't really game much. Mario Kart Double Dash is always fun to play, but I don't get much chance. Does Minesweeper count? I do play that often.

Hobbies: (outside anime) I like puzzles, big puzzles. It's hard to find time and space where they aren't disturbed by someone else as they take so long to do, but if I start one, I will work on it 8+ hours a day till i finish, I just get goofy with them. I like crosswords and the likes as well, although I rarely do them now that I don't get a newspaper anymore.
I also collect coke codes, and get way too excited about getting the free stuff, so I guess it's a hobby at this point.

Fun facts: I find it hard to come up with fun facts about me.

I won a trip to the Bahama's once a long time ago for a weekend.

I cos-played Trinity (from Matrix) at a party, and my Hubby dressed as Neo. I went to second movie as her as well, however hubby wouldn't dress for that.

My dog just had surgery to remove bladder stones.

I love to sing and dance, however I don't sing well...at all. I do get to dance in a few musicals every year.

I like the ballet however since nobody else I know does, it isn't something I get to go to often.
I like shows in general, plays, performances, orchestras, I would love to see an opera however I don't see that happening soon.

I feel a bit ill at the thought of posting my picture, however I decided if I posted here I would...

Dislikes: Mean/rude people. Crimes against children. (I know, they are all wrong, however stuff involving children really moves me...) Watching sports. Sunburns. Poor english, verbal or written, it makes me cringe.

Pictures: I wasn't going to, however I don't want Bamboo to dislike me. I fail at making these links pretty for whatever reason, I usually don't have an issue, so they all look hideous, sorry about that.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/fangirl89/thSet20_08.jpg

Edited to make the pic links work even thought they look bad now (many appologies, my mad comp skilz are lacking.) I just got a camera phone and can't wait to learn how to post pics of my other cats...)

Edited: random stuffies about moi.

I take it Keonyn you don't like other drivers much lol. As for being a metalhead, are we talking European Black/Death Metal or 80's Hair Metal?

Oh and bonbon...your link didn't work. Or it at least didn't work for me because technology is once again hating me and causing me nothing but another ulcer.

I fixed my links and now they look bad, but you can access them.
I thought maybe it was a sign from God that I shouldn't post it, but then I did anyway.

Ehh!?! They are making movie versions of the books?! I love this series so much and read the first one when I was in middle school but I still adore them. I am curious now about these films, do you know anything more about them? I guess I could just look online. I'm pretty picky and I guess "protective" when my favorite books are turned into movies. Heh. Razz

I actually was a vegetarian for about six years, starting when I was a freshman in high school. But about two years ago, maybe a little less, I started to gradually eat meat and now I have turned into a meat lover! Embarassed Haha, I guess that makes me a traitor or hypocrite! I think I wrote this in my facts about me section, but I could be wrong, that was many pages ago.

Favorite Sport (to watch): Basketball, Football, and Baseball (all depends on the season and how well the Cavs/Steelers/Indians are doing at the time)

Favorite Sport (to play): Football

Favorite Music: J-Pop, J-Rock, J-Ramba (you don't believe me? opening song to Jungle Wa Itsumo...), most music by SOUL'D OUT, classic rock, oldies (60's-80's era, especially 80's), classical/instrumental, parody songs, selected pop, modern rock, alternative titles

Sang (and dressed exactly like) Shania Twain's "Man I Feel Like a Woman" for high school talent show (won first place too Very Happy, but the real treasure was all those people howling with laughter and cheering my name)
Did a strip tease to "I'm Too Sexy" for my third year of the talent show, took second
Is really pissed about missing his chance to dance to Hare Hare Yukai at AnimeExpo and even more so about never even having a chance to dance with Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara, and Yuko Goto to the same song
Has been writing fanfiction for years, but only recently considered writing as a career
Has the biggest crush on famous J-Pop singer Gackt, the one and only man I will ever love.

Favorite Quotes:

"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader" ~Unknown
"If any of you die, I will personally come to hell myself, drag your ass back from there and kill you again!" ~Cid from FFVII:DC
"Perfection isn't everything it's cracked up to be" ~Myself (I think)
"We went to Mandarin Kaiser, the new Chinese-German restaurant. The food was really good but in a hour we were hungry again...for power." ~Rose Nialhin, Golden Girls (OH COME ON, that line is hysterical)
"See, I don't plan to name my child at all. I'll just get his attention by clapping or going "Hey, boy!" Then, on his twelf birthday, I'll start calling him Steve like everything's normal. I will insist that I have always called him Steve, and become furious is he suggests otherwise." ~My buddy Sontaku on nurturing
"I lost my virginity to Azumanga Daioh!" ~It's sad because it's true...

(I hope I haven't scarred you delicate readers psychologically...already)

Stealing all the formatting off Keonyn's post. Mr. Green I'll probably end up re-editing this later, but I've been putting off doing it for a couple days, so I figure I should hop to it.

Name: Jason Green

Sex: Male

Blood Type: Haven't the slightest. Here's hoping I don't get in some kind of horrific car accident on the way home!

Location: St. Louis, MO, a.k.a. "Tha Lou"

Relationship Status: Single

Age: 28

Ethnicity: Half-Irish, half-English, more or less. But American all the way.

Religion: Lapsed Catholic.

Drink/Smoke: Yes to the former, no to the latter except under very rare circumstances (such as "Hey, my college roomie brought cigars back from the Dominican Republic!"), and then I usually regret it because my throat is hoarse for days.

Likes: My life revolves around music and comic books, basically. I also follow the St. Louis Cardinals when they're doing half-decent.

Dislikes: Modern country music. Rednecks. Bratty children. I'm sure there's more.

Favorite anime: This varies wildly depending on mood, but just for what I've watched the most, probably Akira, Fist of the North Star (movie), Ranma 1/2, EVA, Goldenboy, Fullmetal Alchemist, the original Tenchi-Muyo! OAV series, Oh My Goddess!....I could go on for hours.

Favorite Manga: Hands down, Maison Ikkoku.

Favorite Books: I like Nick Hornby. I don't read nearly as much I should/would like to.

Favorite game: Guitar Hero

Favorite TV shows: The Sopranos and the Office are current favorites. For all-time classics, the Simpsons (esp. pre-2000), Seinfeld, early Friends, Buffy, more cartoons than you can shake a stick at.... I also watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann fairly religiously.

Favorite Movies: High Fidelity, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars & Empire, Swingers.....I know I'm forgetting a LOT here.

Favorite Drink: Captain and Coke.

Non-Alcoholic Drink: Coke. I used to drink gallons of the stuff, but I switched to diet a few months ago. It's good, but it's not the same. Sad

Favorite Foods: New York-style pizza. Good Italian food if I can eat it with garlic cheese bread. A good grilled cheese sandwich made with cheddar or colby cheese.

Favorite Handgun: Wow, I'm WAY too liberal to answer this question....

Favorite Sites: I spend most of my time at LiveJournal, Facebook, MySpace (vastly inferior, but I know more people on it), ANN, and ImageComics.com. I also check Comic Book Resources pretty much daily.

Favorite Sport (to watch): St. Louis Cardinals baseball

Favorite Sport (to play): Softball's about the only one I play anymore.

Favorite Music: The top 10, in no order whatsoever: Husker Du/Sugar/Bob Mould solo, Pearl Jam, Sloan, R.E.M., The Cure, Nirvana, Green Day, The Replacements, Matthew Sweet, Wilco. I own well over 1000 CDs from hundreds of different artists, but I'll spare you all the complete list.

Job: By day: design engineer. By night: writer for PLAYBACK:stl and, as of recently, Protoculture Addicts. Very Happy

Hobbies: Reading comic books, listening to music, watching anime, and writing about all of said activities.

Fun facts about jgreen: I have no idea where to go with this question....

Favorite Quotes: "I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains." Rob Gordon, High Fidelity

Pictures: Just your average looking nerd.
