me too . . .  i made my new roommate, who had never seen anime before in her
life and thought it was all violent pornography, watch some.  To date, she
has spent $150 on videos, went to Anime Central with me, and prolly spent
about $100 on her costume and merchandise there.  And you know what else?
She's not your typical "sci-fi freak" or anything like that . . she's a
sorrority girl!  Which is all the more reason why I believe that America
will be more accepting of japanese-type animation.

Whew, i went on a whole shpiel there, didn't I?

Hey, that sounds like mine!  (I am Ukyou).  I'm not sure if you read my
original post, but i'll spare the ML the gorey details and refrain from
posting it again . . .

nope, but we're still looking for a Mousse!  ^-^

So now it's sleeping, watching anime, and eating?

another version i heard of was your pet's name and your mother's maiden

Actually, I call it all Coke, but I seem to be in the minority in that one .

Hey man, we're not the only ones!  :-P
I think there are a lot of Christian religions which have stuff that's
scarier than our own . . .
