Don't ask. Just don't.

Bwahahhaha..... that reminds me of a NYPD or something
type show I watched where this guy was tied up
to the bed and he claimed this woman beat him and
raped him and no one believed him.  That was all
sad, in a funy kind of way.

Shoot me baby! ^_^

Except for the fact that he's got the world's most awesomemest body
and is REALLY hot (for a cartoon, that is), and that he's Mr. Bad-Ass.

*cheers*  And I thought that I was the only one who thought this!
While I see Ukyou as well-intending, the tricks she pulls (though
they are fairly white-toned) kind of just turn me off.  She arranges
little things for the two of them together and tries to one up her
other competition in any way she can.  She is in for her and her alone, 
which is not BAD, (in fact, it's a very real quality) it's just not good.
She is selfish, which just makes her human.  But I don't like her. I just
don't.  I understand her very well, I just don't like her.
*shrugs*  I dunno.

Well, Ranma has had some rather ..... er... uncomfortable situations?
He's got a big reason to be nervous!  They are called Akane,
Kodachi, Shampoo, Nabiki, and Ukyou.. (minus one for his uhm...
"sparring partner") 

But we all know Ranma.  If he got faced with it, he has to face it
head on... *blinks*  He has to just do it....uhhmm..
He just has to take care of buisness..uhm..he has to take the plunge?
Damnit.  When Ramna is faced with something to do, he has to give
everything he's got... *sighs*  Nothing is coming out right today!
*slaps her forehead*  I'm going to kill Dorothy..... anyway,
OH WELL, you know what I mean.

(There we go.. I'm having problems with phrasing today)

>I just *can't* bring myself to fight back harshly against something

Belt loops in jeans, belt buckles, and even those little hammer holder
things in carpenter jeans (I like those things!) work just as well.
^_^

Ranma.  Most definately.  Come on, this constant battle for him HAS GOT to
just get to you one day?

Either that, or Ryouga, just because he seems like that kind of guy.

>Well, yeah, me too.  But then *Ranma* showed up, then I got to >thinking, 
>maybe it's not Ranma after all.  After all, there couldn't be *two*
>Ranma's, right? ^_^ 

No, that's just a too-too perfect world. =0P

>Which one is Old-Ranma and which one is New-Ranma?  I assume >New-Ranma is
the one they call "Ranko"? ^_^ 

New-Ranma is Ranko.  I just think that's a sissy name for him ^_^.
Besides!!!!!!!!!  I'm a non conformist. =0P

>And yeah, I can't decide, too.  Of course I still love Ranma best ^_^, but

give me the shivers! ^_^ 

Tis very hard to choose!  I'm still trying to decide if I like Ryouga
or Mousse or Kuno better.. *sigh*

>Well, yeah, but new Ranma (Ranko) has so much more to him.  What I loved 
>most about him is his pain, his grief, the way he never gave up, just like

I don't like angst.(It comes from reading one too many Usagi/Senshi
X/Mamoru/Mulder dies stories) But I really really do enjoy the fact that
he's gained a sense of what's most important, and got a SENSE OF HUMOR that
goes a long with it.  People can relate to THIS Ranma.  (Neriman people,
anyway).  Old-Ranma had a sense of humor, but it normally related to
laughing when people got a baseball stuck in their face....or a dry
sarcastic sense of humor.  New-Ranma's got the real deal. =0P

>I just finished "Choices" btw.  Man, that was one cruel fic!  Ranma, >my
poor  baby... (^_^), and Akane too... and that Sayuri... grr... >wish Ranma
would smack her stupid bitchy face to the ground... ^_^  >Of course, Ranma's
a gentleman, he wouldn't do that... sigh... Akane, >maybe? ^_^ 

Sayuri was uber-bitchy in that story.  I was very surprised at the LENGTHS
of cruelty that story went to.  It's so much screwed-up-ness, and not the
general good natured kook that flies around Nerima.  This is the whole
shattered lives, friendships, & loves type deal.  It's a DARK situation
melded into a general highschool situation. And no one is quite to blame but
every one is rather screwed up the ass either way. 

I was pretty upset at the Ranma/Akane scene.  I think Akane was portrayed a
little harsher than needed, but it was probably just to play up Ranma's
plantive need for companionship and to fit in (which you gotta admit was the
main theme of the story).  It's really nice, though, despite being angsty. 
I don't get the whole part about Ranma being a slut though for being in girl
form. 


Shinobu:

>Either that, or call a female relative to 
>come over and lay the SmackDown!!(TM) 

Truely.  I have promised several people that if they hurt
Petey, I will hurt them.  Very badly.  NO one messes with my
friends. =0P  Of course, I never thought it would work the
other way around!  *sets a reminder to call Petey later*

>Some girls, however, are just violent!! (^_^) 
>Now, I'm not gonna say no names... 

*whistles innocently... oh wait... TRIES to whistle... period*

>Ranma, but with the approriate shoes and jeans, 
>Ranma's shirts would be Da Bomb!! ** 

Personally, I'm hoping for a Ranma in jeans.  Wranglers even.
*dodges thrown shoes*  JUST KIDDING!  No, but I wanna see
him in jeans.  But they probably limit his movement or some
crap like that, so he won't wear them.

>Stupid Question Time......

I thought they limited you to just one per month.. =0P
