ON SEMI HIATUS....IRL is on my heels and has been for quite a while. I'm not gone, will return and hopefully soon. I AM an anime addict after all :)
Been severely addicted to anime for years. Prefer action, horror, sci-fi and love a gorey twist. Martial arts and samurai are purrr-fect also.
Lolis and slapstick are mostly SO not my thing. Tend to bore me and fast. However I've managed to find some comedy series I really liked...a lot.
Important issue, and I can't say this often enough.
I HATE DUBS.
Some prefer dubs. Is fine by me.... but like already stated.... I DON'T so there really is no point in trying to convince me I should watch some.
Tend to watch way too many series all at once, happily jumping from series to series. Anime on hold in my list does not necessarily mean I'm going to drop it. Might be on hold because I am waiting for new releases or have decided I need to finish something else first.
Have no scruples dumping series if I don't like them. It might be unfair to rate anime if I've only seen 4 episodes or less, BUT that's how it is.
Love reading manga. Wish I had more time..... one issue has been bugging me for a while...my list has to be updated. Maybe I will...soon.
Crave anything action, horror, sci-fi...gore, supernatural and suspense. A little psychological twist is nice also.

A TOUCHING CHRISTMAS STORY~~
A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed. The wife looked up and noticed her husband was no where around. They had a lot to do and she was a bit upset. With him it was just like taking a kid to the mall. Using her cell phone she called her husband to ask where he was. The husband in a calm voice said, "honey, remember the jewelry store we went into 5 years ago..... where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we couldn't afford? Remember... the one I told you that I would get for you one day?"
Her emotions took over and she began crying; "yes I remember that jewelry store."
He said, "well I'm in the bar next door. Call when you're done shopping and I'll buy you a beer!"
He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years.
After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now in her 80's, a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.
She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."
May you get to heaven a half hour

First episode subbed by Frosti. I like it. Worth checking out. ;p
A story about a note found on the refrigerator...
My Dear Wife,
You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54
years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I
value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter,
I hope that you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be
spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel.
Please don't be upset----I shall be home before midnight.
When the man came home late that night, he found the following
letter on the dining room table:
My Dear Husband,
I received your letter and thank you for your honesty
about my being 54 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to
remind you that you are also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math
teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you
read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my
students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young,
virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old.
As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of math,
you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one
small difference - 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18.
Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.
NOT ONLY THAT-- it is POLITICALLY CORRECT – and True!!
While walking down the street one day a "Member of Parliament" is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter.
'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'
'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP.
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises....
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit heaven.'
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. ' I don't understand,' stammers the MP.
'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.
What happened? '
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ' Yesterday we were campaigning.. ...
Today you voted.'
Two women were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one looks at the other and says, 'I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland .'
The other woman responds proudly, 'Yes, I sure am!'
The first one says, 'So am I! And where about in Ireland are ya from?'
The other woman answers, 'I'm from Dublin , I am.'
The first one responds, 'So, am I!! And what street did you live on in Dublin ?'
The other woman says, 'A lovely little area. It was in the west end. I lived on
Warbury Street in the old central part of town.'
The first one says, 'Faith, and it's a small world. So did I! So did I! And what school did ya go to?'
The other woman answers, 'Well now, I went to Holy Heart of Mary, of course.'
The first one gets really excited and says, 'And so did I! Tell me, what year did you graduate?'
The other woman answers, 'Well, now, let's see. I graduated in 1964.'
The first woman exclaims, 'The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same pub tonight! Can you believe it? I graduated from Holy Heart of Mary in 1964 me self!'
About this time, Michael walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer.
Brian, the bartender, walks over to Michael shaking his head and mutters, It's going to be a long night tonight.'
Michael asks, 'Why do you say that, Brian?'
Brian answers, 'The Murphy twins are drunk again.'
And...
Those of us who fall into the world of hi-tech should take note
of the importance of correct grammar.
I have noticed that many who text messages & e-mail, have
forgotten the "art" of capitalization.
Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack
off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
