                <description><![CDATA[ eharmony Has a very in depth personality profile, so much, I missed about 4/5ths of it, and just realized now.  So as a result, im posting it up for anyone to read.  Its going to be alot - so ill break it inot categories.  may not be worth it for some of you, but - at least ill have a reference point for anyone else.<br /><br />AGREEABLENESS:<br /><br />You are best described as:<br />USUALLY TAKING CARE OF OTHERS<br /><br />Words that describe you:<br /><br />    * Understanding<br />    * Unquestioning<br />    * Humane<br /><br />    * Selfless<br />    * Gentle<br />    * Kindhearted<br /><br /><br />A General Description of How You Interact with Others<br /><br />Here's one important truth about you: you have a tender heart. Yes, you know that others need to learn to take care of themselves. Yes, you know they need to accept the consequences of their foolish or bad behavior. And sometimes, even when your instinct is to help them, you will let them fend for themselves and let them suffer the consequences of their choices or circumstances.<br /><br />But most of the time you are there to help when they need you. If they are in trouble, you offer compassion and go out of your way to be helpful. If they need someone who will listen, you are trustworthy and sympathetic. And you are direct with them; when they need advice or counsel, you offer it in a straightforward, direct manner, without beating around the bush.<br /><br />You're also smart enough to know that you cannot take good care of others if you fail to take good care of yourself, so you listen to your own wants and needs. If you've run out of sympathetic energy, you spend time restoring yourself. If you've ignored your own pain or frustration, you find a friend who will listen well, or go into your own private healing place and give yourself permission to focus on you.<br /><br />But before long, you're back at it with your friends, offering a sympathetic ear and compassion on which they learn to trust, also giving straightforward advice and counsel when they ask for it. You do know how to take care of yourself, but your genuine interest is in taking care of others.<br /><br /><br /><br />Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You<br /><br />Selfish people might be embarrassed by you. While they're using their time and energy almost exclusively on themselves, they see you giving time to others, and your kindness puts them in a bad light.<br /><br />Maybe they'll think you're a phony, that you use your altruism to get others indebted to you so they'll then owe you a favor. Or perhaps they'll accuse you, directly or behind your back, of focusing on the needs of others so no one ever focuses on your foibles or your genuine wounds.<br /><br />All of these are false accusations; yours is a genuine compassion, because you truly have a tender heart. One criticism might be more substantial, though. People might notice when you let things get out of balance and spend so much time responding to others that you neglect your own needs.<br /><br />Perhaps it's true to some extent that you are more comfortable when the focus is on someone else's needs than when you and your needs are front and center, and this may be a criticism worth paying attention to.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You<br /><br />Positive responses to you are likely to far outweigh negative responses. For many people, your genuine kindness will be an example of a way to treat others and a way we want others to treat us. They will see in you the traits of compassion and sympathy which they might want to focus on in the development of their own character.<br /><br />For those people you help you will be the friend they need, there at the right moment to help them when they've stepped into yet another thicket of pain or confusion. They will be grateful for your listening, for your straight talk when they need straight talk more than anything, and for the hand you extend so they can find their way, with your help, out of whatever tangle they've gotten themselves into.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />OPENNESS:<br /><br />On the Openness Dimension you are:<br />SOMETIMES CURIOUS, SOMETIMES CONTENT<br /><br />Words that describe you:<br /><br />    * Accepting<br />    * Flexible<br />    * Educated<br /><br />	<br /><br />    * Self-aware<br />    * Middle-of-the-road<br />    * Proper<br /><br />	<br /><br />    * Distinctive<br />    * Indecisive<br />    * Adaptable<br /><br />	<br /><br />A General Description of How You Approach New Information and Experiences:<br /><br />Like someone who can sleep comfortably on either side of the bed, you are equally at home with ideas and beliefs that you have held for a long time and with new ways of thinking and believing that grow out of your intellectual curiosity.<br /><br />Your sense of who you are and what your place is in the world around you rests on values and principles that are the solid... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ MAY 9th was the best day of my life!!!!<br /><br />I dressed up as the infamous humanoid typhoon known as VASH THE STAMPEDE!!! It was at about maybe 90% of what I was hoping to achieve in costume completion.  HOWEVER, 90% on a Vash costume might as well be 100% because HE IS HARD to pull off skilfully.  For the duration of the convention, I didn't receive 1 negative comment!! And as it turns out, I was the only REAL vash there, I saw a couple others, but they were lame.  I suppose that's just due to my unparalleled dedication to being VASH himself.  We share much in common, the character vash and I. As a result, I just meld right into his personality without needing to work hard at it.  This was my 1st year doing a convention, and i LOVED IT!  I made such amazing friends, and met some amazingly interesting people!<br /><br />Enough about me, the people at acen09 are absoultely freaking awesome!  I guess there was some 18,000 people this year!  It was sure fantastic!  Unfortunately, I only earned about 103 pictures, which is hardly any at all, and not only that, about 80 of the 103 are blurry, because some people dont know how to take a steady picture.  But I'm sure you'll find me all over acen material within about 3 or 4 days! <br /><br />I think next year will be the big year for me, acen 2010 will be the year I dominate, and take a step up as a special vash in the history in vash cosplay.  Im going to upgrade my costume, and make sure that i have all his accessories and weapons.  I cant wait!!!<br /><br />For now, im submitting some pics into my scraps for everyone to see!<br /><br /><br />due to popular request, I have created a facebook.  heres a link <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1630616965&v=wall&viewas=1630616965#/profile.php?id=1630616965&v=info&viewas=1630616965">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So in celebration for the Chrono Trigger DS coming out - i am going to attempt to create an awesome parody flash based on chrono trigger - originally named: Awesome Trigger.  I have recorded all of the audio for the male parts, and i have a girl that i am  directing for the female parts.  Once the audio collaboration is done - about 1/3 will be done. Once i begin working on the animation, i wont stop - because animating this will take a long ass time.  in fact, what ive put together so far is roughly 10 minutes - so i was thinking about making a part 1 and too, since what i DO have is from the beginning of the game, to the end of the game. animating about 10 minutes will take me roughly a month (if done well) - yet of course its gonna be animated poorly on purpose, but as ridiculously as possible.  Its gonna go on here, and on youtube and newgrounds so keep watch for it.  <br /><br />I look forward to finishing this project!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Quiet, dignified, disciplined and enigmatic, Jin is in every respect the polar opposite of Mugen, a classically-trained (and, forgive this fangirl, heartbreakingly beautiful) swordsman with a precise and lethal fighting style. As Mugen wears red, he wears indigo blue. His age is given as 20. Everything about him says "aristocrat": his glasses, his pale complexion and stately height, his manners and his devotion to the code of the samurai. The very fact that he's permitted to carry a daisho (matched set of two swords) says he's from a samurai family. His name means "benevolence and compassion"--one of the seven samurai virtues. He carries himself with unshakable self- confidence, and is virtually unbeatable, a devastating duellist with superbly pure technique and a blinding-fast draw. Jin keeps firm control of himself in every possible aspect from his appearance and appetite to his level monotone voice, speaks little, and has but once been heard to laugh: when kneeling at the headsman's block. He seems to be seeking inner peace and balance in warrior's discipline, and possesses a core of deep calm, but he's a creature of fierce pride and intensity who typically kills with a single stroke. At his darkest he radiates bitter, repressed anger, and observes the world with a narrow, resentful stare; at his best, he's all a samurai should be, capable of great gentleness, courtesy, martial skill and dauntless courage. He's almost two people, the detached and passive Jin who does as bidden, permits his friends to drag him around and unfailingly respects his elders; and the lightning-fast nemesis he becomes when he draws his sword. He only seems truly awake and alive when fighting.<br /><br />There's a great crime in his past: He trained in a dojo whose claim to fame was that its master--Mariya Enshirou-- had fought a thousand sword duels without a defeat. He was praised as a prodigy and a genius, but something went very wrong: Jin killed his master, was obliged to leave the school and took to the road. Even now others trained by this master have sworn revenge and are seeking his life. What's one to do when the system one was raised to respect turns and punishes you for doing, as told, your very best? Yet his faith in the warrior's way remains the only thing he owns--and even that he has begun to question, a deep, surfacing feeling that no one was born to serve and obey all his life--along with his honor and his katana, and it would be worth your life to try taking any of them from him. <br /><br />- Ive spent so far roughly $220 on my Jin costume - and on accessories to prepare it!  I hope its worth it!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ congratulations - i turned 20 like a ninja, no one knew... not even my own dad.  my mom was the only one to wish me a happy birthday, right before i left to work.  no phone calls, no letters from any family, no presents or anything.  (not that getting no gifts is a big deal to me - but at least someone could of acknowledged that i turned 20, y'know?  its a big deal to me.  <br /><br />so "Fuck You" everyone whom are supposed to be my friends. (the ones that KNEW when my birthday was - or was coming up.)  <br /><br />Ill celebrate my turning 20 by myself - since none of my so called friends invites me to anyone of their birthday parties.  <br /><br />And they say im over reacting when i describe myself as ostracized!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So i  WAS in the process of 2 more songs in the mario paint composer videos i put on youtube.   now, how the program works, you have only 100 bars to work with - so the next file has to be a continuation of where you left off in a song.  now i was in th efinal stges of the Lupin III theme - and i only needed to finish like 10 bars for file #2 (it all fit within about 100 bars almost)   and i  saved over the Big ass Lupin III file with the wimpy 10  bars of the end.  which was a good waste of 6 hours.  and i was like BITCH!!   so  im not doing that again for a while.  omg mario paint composer should be that lame. but whatever its still my fault.  the worst part is - i knew what i was doing - so as i moved the mouse over to click save - i was like " why am i doing this its going to be erased ! Stop!"  *click {song saved}    O   .   o   ......   > W <  <br /><br />i really hate wasting my time like that!  why does this have to happen.  Well ill start another song, but im so pissed off right now abou thtat.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ive been just a mental cluster bomb for the past few weeks.  so many things have been clouding my judgment lately, and i took some time to untangle my brain.  I haven't done any art, i haven't budgeted my time successfully, i failed to run my martial arts school properly for the past couple weeks as a result, I've pissed off about 3 people and have turned irate as a result, and ive spent more money than i wanted to.  its been a bad couple of weeks, and i needed to unwind and just start over.  So i just system restored my mind and body and gave it a full tune up.   From now on, im going t balance myself accordingly.  dedicate more time to doing what i love (taking proper care of the school, working out harder, clean more throughly, act like an adult.)  ive been regressing, that was a main problem for me, and i kind of had to wake up from that.   Sometimes my excitement can just take over completely, then i lose focus, and ll of a sudden im not taking my own advice.  im going to save more money to get a new computer, and fix the dent in my car, and finally attain respect from those whom i must re-earn.  ive lost alot to gain anew, and im going to take advantage of it.  allow me to visualize my future by starting over from the beginning.  <br /><br />for journal's sake, this is the first piece of art i saw after i decided to snap out of it.  it reminds me of a dream i once had.  <a href="http://cobalt-alkali.deviantart.com/art/Disaster-86940576">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So i sent my laptop in, and apparently the mother board has a short in it, nd as a result, will cost $800 to replace.  my laptop is worth like $400 so i had to decline that.  so im out 80 bucks and out 750 bucks  this year for that.  all my art, saved data, pictures, videos, origional stuff are all gone.  forever.  I would be more upset, but i dont think its hit me yet, so, just wait until the next journal, i might explode.  the only good thing that could possibly come from this is a new laptop, and this time its gonna be a GOOD one, and not a Gateway or even a PC.  im getting a Mac, screw all that other BS.   anyway - any suggestions for a good new computer, let me know.  in the meantime, ill use the Wii internet browser.<br /><br />Also this means the delay of my flash series/other artwork/youtube videos/ headhsot montages/ anything fan based till i get a new computer.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ive been spending my time in mild solitude for the past few months as a result from dedication to my job.  Being a Martial Arts Instructor takes up alot of my time, i only have SUN to myself these days.  But i manage.

                <description><![CDATA[ For Halloween I Bought a Ninja uniform.  I wore it to the mall and outside in public.  It was excellent all the loquacious gazes from police and neighbors, as im sure you can imagine.  <br />
<br />
       I am participating in this years tournament, in sparring, board breaking and forms.   After that, I am performing in a demo routine with our team.  and after that, chances are I will be judging the color belts.  <br />
<br />
       I really want to buy a PS3, but i found out that the 80 gig PS3's are incompatible with ps1 and ps2 games.  so are the 40 gig's, so i have to find a used 60 gig, or somehow manage a  new 60 gig.  so, i dunno what sony was thinking, but thats the #2 reason i want a ps3, to play ps1 and ps2 games, and not need a memory card.  <br />

        Smash brothers has been pushed back to February, thank you sonic, you blue turd!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
girls.<br />
    Stop over complicating everything. There isn't an ulterior motive or hidden meaning in every other sentance. Unless, I suppose, it's coming out of the mouth of another woman. Because you ladies never can seem to say what you actually mean. You have this weird secret code that you love to try and crack and expect us guys to be able to get in on your stupid game. Guys aren't like that. Rarely rarely RARELY will you ever have to figure out what a guy is actually saying. We say what we mean. Girls have such a skewed sense of logic that this simple concept is often lost on them. When you go searching for some deeper meaning that isn't there, you're just committing to an act of futility. In the end you wind up making up some bullshit and believing that it must be true and acting on that false reality and making a mess of something for no apparent reason other than the fact that you're in-fucking-sane.   One of the most insanely frustrating things about women is the constant reassurance. No, you're not fat. If you were fat you wouldn't be able to fit into that size 2 dress. And yes, you look good. Guys wouldn't be giving you free shit if you were ugly. (There's an ulterior fucking motive for you. Hint: They're not giving you free stuff just to be sweet.) It's so frustrating having to constantly answer those questions, only to not be believed. It's like trying to convince someone that the sky is blue. You're not blind, you're not even color blind. You can see that the sky is blue. Yet you continue to ask what color the sky is. I tell you it's blue. I know that you know what color blue is. And even though I've told you that the sky is blue about fifty-million times, you still have to ask because...I don't know...maybe it's not blue today. The sky is fucking blue goddammit! You're not fucking fat! You're not fucking ugly! You know it, I know it, everyone fucking knows it!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know what I would do without the stars, the constellations in the sky.   Just things like that really makes me think about so much.  for example : Whats important to me, what are my goals?  I thank god for the stars,  if it wasn't for  constellations, I would never think about the people i really care about, or what i  really would wish for if given the chance.  the stars allow me to make wishes, that down the road, i can make come true on my own.   Ive made so many wishes that haven't come true, Yet more have actually come true than not, The more important wishes, that aren't selfish.  The more important prayers that are not selfish.  The more important thoughts I share with them, are always listened to by them.   Thats why i feel like i could meet someone in the stars.  I love talking under the stars, under the moon.  It always strikes a vivid conversation.  They have become more important to me, during a walk at night.  The stars make me feel not alone, because i always know that theres someone else i care about looking at them, the same night, same stars.   But i spend so much time around them, that once in a while, i meet people with stars in their eyes, in their smile, in their mannerisms.  thats what sticks out to me.   But your eyes,  i could look into them for days, and never feel bored, like as if i was staring into the sky.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Finding out that your relationship has ended from your partner can seem like one of the most convoluted mysteries of life. How could something so promising for you become so passÃ© for your partner? No matter how the news was delivered, the process of healing from an unrequited breakup nearly always passes through the "I just need to know what he (or she) is thinking and feeling," and yet, any amount of in-person conversations, phone calls, e-mails or text messages ever provides the closure desiredÂthe sting of finality is a burn only time and self-discovery can heal.<br />
<br />
Here is a breakdown of six types of relationship fallouts that may provide some insight in to what happens when relationships go wrong, much to the dismay of the partner who still wants to work things out.<br />
<br />
The 180Â<br />
<br />
You had no clue. Everything was going so well (or so you thought!). Even the past weekend was spent in romantic bliss, and for the first time you felt as thought things were really going to work out. Then come Monday, you get the phone call that starts with a reluctant tone and somewhat hesitant, "Hey, got a few minutes?" that only ends with a welling of emotion and a box of Kleenex.<br />
<br />
Most likely cause:<br />
 Your partner likes you and enjoys your company, but got cold feet when the relationship started to feel committed and more serious. Usually this point is breached within three to six months from the start of the relationship. The notion of long-term relationship may be the furthest from this type of partnerÂs mind, and so when faced with the prospect of commitment, he or she must bow out of the relationship.<br />
<br />
Take comfort inÂ<br />
 the fact that your partner told you sooner rather than later. It may seem like it came out of the blue, and it may have, but your partner was never ready for the kind of commitment you would like, and once he or she realized it, they let you go. While it hurts now, in the long run you will move on to relationships that are more in line with what you are looking forÂon all levels. In order to be ultimately rewarding for both parties, interest in and dedication to the relationship must be relatively equal. Having stronger feelings toward someone than he or she can reciprocate is a recipe for heartbreak, no matter whether your relationship has been going on for three weeks or three months. The one thing your partner has not realized yet is that by spending his or her life with a series of Mr. or Ms. Right Nows, knowing full well they arenÂt Mr. or Ms. Rights is a recipe for chronic dissatisfaction not only for your partner, but also for each person he or she becomes involved with.<br />
<br />
The slow burnÂ<br />
<br />
This relationship should have ended a long time ago, but has persisted into a slow and agonizing confirmation of oneÂs worst suspicions that the relationship is just not working out. In these situations, both partners have their own individual degrees of unhappiness, but the more dissatisfied person stays because it feels "easier" and "less messy" than having the courage to confront the truth and move on. There may have been recurrent communication problems that have never been resolved or are avoided if they do arise, and other potential mates outside the relationship are beginning to look like attractive alternatives.<br />
<br />
Despite the relationshipÂs seriously degenerated quality, it never quite ends fully, leaving at least one partner in a hurtful no-manÂs land of ambiguity, and this person responds typically by trying harder to win affections or by becoming passive-aggressive, sometimes to the extreme. Jealousies of outside parties are common, and often the relationship will dissolve only because of developed interests in other potential mates outside of the primary relationship.<br />
<br />
Most likely cause:<br />
 Not the right combination of compatibility and chemistry. Chemistry is the physical attraction component, and compatibility is composed of the personality traits and attributes that in the right combination can persevere through a lifetime. While there may be enough of both of these elements to maintain a relationship for even several years, eventually the attraction wanes, and there is not enough of these core traits to survive life changes and challenges that arise as people move through life. The same goes for a relationship founded on compatibility but lacks physical chemistry. The relationship can be rewarding for a relatively long time because both partners get along together so well, but there will always feel like there is something missing in the chemistry department.<br />
<br />
Because there are lacks in the relationship, one or both partners may begin taking on outside interests in secret, even if beginning only in his or her mind as fantasies. As the relationship wears on, though, many times one partner will stray, causing the breakup. These are tricky situations because... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ItÂs amazing that assholes can get girls. Actually, now that I think of it, itÂs not that amazing. They are assholes at heart, but to meet girls they lavish their undying love. ITÂS A CHARADE. They act nice, friendly, and they listenÂ until they get into what theyÂre after. Their prey thinks they are in love with them, however when they realize what assholes their predators really are, they pretend like the asshole is really nice inside. The girl tries to change the asshole into a nice guy, but assholes will always be assholes. She gets upset and goes to the nice guy to complain about the asshole. But she claims to love the assholeÂ now this is where the theory begins. She doesnÂt want to look like she is easy so she wont dump the asshole right away, instead she will stay with the asshole. Girls are idiots. They donÂt realize that the nice guy has been there all along. He never had to pretend to be a good guy to get girls because he is naturally like that. However, girls donÂt see it for some reason or another. They look at the nice guy as a friend, a trusted companion to whom they can tell their sad story to about their asshole boyfriend.<br />
<br />
But the nice guy isnÂt THAT naÃ¯ve. He was trying to score with the girl he listens to all along. The problem is that since he is a nice guy he keeps listening. Since girls get attached to things that pay attention to them, they think of the nice guy as a friend. A FRIEND. They donÂt say, ÂOh heÂs hotÂ or ÂI want to have his childrenÂ about the nice guy, they just want the emotional support. When they get the emotional support from the nice guy, they donÂt need it from the asshole. The nice guy gets the shit end of the stick while the asshole gets all the action. I am starting to wonder if being a nice guy is really the route to take to get actionÂ I have been down this path for all of my post-pubescent life and it has gotten me NOWHEREÂ at least not in the women department.<br />
<br />
Perhaps another reason why girls fall for the asshole is because assholes ignore the girl they are with. The women wonder, ÂWhy isnÂt he paying attention to me?Â so they explore why. They poke and prod and get closer to the asshole. They start to get easier with each attempt to get closer. The asshole finally says, ÂIÂve let this beauty dangle long enough, time to boat this bassÂ. It is then he puts on his charade and the girl feels like she has won himÂ even thought all she has won is an asshole.<br />
<br />
Once you have gone down the path as a nice guy or a ÂlistenerÂ you canÂt turn back. The girl will always go after the assholes because there are always nice guys there to listen. Once you realize that you are a ÂlistenerÂ you cant do anything about itÂ just pack up and close shop. There is no way you will get into her pantsÂ ever. There is and never will be a situation where the nice guy will get the girl he has a crush on. It just doesnÂt work like that. The girl wont Âcome to her sensesÂ and realize what an asshole her boyfriend is like in the moviesÂ instead she will just go after another asshole, and unless you stop being a nice guy, she will never go after you. Women complain that there are no nice guys in the world. Right. They are obviously not looking hard enough because there are nice guys EVERYWHERE!!!! Girls arenÂt looking for nice guysÂ they say they are but theyÂre not. They are looking for the perfect asshole, but there is NO SUCH THING as the perfect asshole.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
