I'm working on a story and I have two characters from japan.. a father named Ebi.. and a boy named okiami...

I'm aware that ebi means lobster or shellfish and okiami means shrimp.. but. Is it practical for a person to be named this

I was watching world only god knows season 2, the final episode episode 12, and a minute into it there was this song that was played that i am 100.100% sure that i've heard befor. But i cant remember for the life of me, which means im probly gonna die. Helpz meh

the episode link is here

http://www.animehere.com/the-world-god-only-knows-...

it plays the tune @00:35 and it lasts for like two seconds. Its unmistakably from an anime, and im pretty sure its a popular one

5 stars and ten points to the person who gets it

O.k, so im here writing this story about nonsense and ive run into a snag

and cant decide if i want my character to have a lesbian friend, who has a bubbly outgoing type of personality and gets her dragged into alot of weird kinky lesbian situations

ooooor

have a straight bubbly outgoing friend who has a boyfriend(or many boyfriends) and later gets pregnant...

which is more ... interesting?

Hi, Ok so yeh, i used to get on deviant art everyday and search the daily postings for cool pics which i would save onto my phone. Well since a couple of months ago, almost all the postings have crap by my standards, and this was like a major time killer for me... like a good 50% of my day was devoted to looking for good pics and saving them.. pretty sad but hey.. verb, its what you do..

anywho i need a new art website... not photobucket, prefferbly something that either has a crapload of pics or updates daily... PLz help

also plz note that im talking about animated pics... animation, cgi, ahhh cartoons, manga... stuff like that

Neeeeeeeeee-d a new anime pretty please!!!!preferably something like in the romance, slice of life, comedy type of area, and typically slide off into the harem echii area(tho "too much" annoys me, and there is such a thing). I like fast paced witty humor, or just funny humor, with interesting characters, and a decent plot to hold it all together

some animes i've really liked have been

\

clannad

clannad after story

bakemonogatari

toradora

c3 cube was really right on until the second episode

sankarea

rosario + vampire

to love ru

The world only god knows

Tasogare Otome x Amnesia

.... and i just got lazy so thats it

but for he most part bakamonogatari and clannad, i doubt that i gonna find anything that i like even half as much as i like these animes, but yeh.. you never know.

>and since when did your question need to be 20 characters long? thats dumb<

This dog that's hanging around my house seems to have some type of gastrick reflex.. It keeps heaving like its going to throw up..it's been doing this for like two days straight.. It does look kinda on the boney side... Do you think it could be it starving, or maybe it's a nervous system disease?.. Idk

Any ideas?

Your ascendent sign(rising sign) is supposed to be the mask that you develop to help mask your true self from the rest of society. Im a Gemini sun/Virgo moon/Aquarius Rising, and when im not fully comfortable with my environment im quirky, weird, and offbeat. As a pose to being the flirty bird constantly messing around i am around my close friends and family. I havnt felt myself fully change over to this persona

have you? whats your Rising??sun, moon

I live in a suburban neighborhood and the only way out is to get straight onto the highway... now im planning on moving into the city somewhere but that could be awhile from now, and i really want to get my moped befor hand. Any suggestions? Recommendations? advice.. ect ect

Most highways around here are around 55 to 60 mph

... How do you suppose that your God is any different than any other god?

Dont get me wrong, im NOT talking about your relgion or the context in which your God is portrayed.. Im talking about the literal feeling of God in your heart.. How is it any different than that of what a Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, or any other type of spiritually based organization. The specific feeling you get when you are embraced by Gods love, is it any different than that of another? Im not attempting to antagonize you, i am simply interested in your veiw on things.

Cause im pretty sure the've denied several Jesus's in there day

Tell me water bearers

How is it being you? What is it that you treasure the most,what do you hate the most? what are your biggest challenges? What are your strengths/weaknesses? What type of affect do you have on people?

What does it mean to be an Aquarius? . . Those who have personal experience with Aquarius's are also welcome to give their impressions, perspective always appreciated.

Oh, and give your Sun, Moon, and rising, or w/e else you think is valid. Best answer to the most in depth answer

By that i mean do you beleive in the feling called love? What do you think it is?

Haddaway - what is love?

but seriously, what is it?

Alright lets take a pause with all this christian fundamentalist nonsense that i think we have all heard enough of, and consider things from a different perspective

Here is one theory on Satan and God i found to be quite interesting, and like most human refferences to life, nature, the order of things and whatnot, it takes place in the form of a story

The 'story' shortened goes alittle like this... Satan, or more appropriately referred to as Lucifer used to be an angel, an Archangel for that matter. That means that he was a soilder of the light, of love, and followed orders to the T From the ultimate all knowing light, or love. Thats God. Now Lucy, just like the rest of all spiritual beings apart of God, made by god, attached to god had been going through spiritual transformation for countless years/muillineums/w/e he'd been on the road to god for along a$$ time... and He was at the top, the closest to god, they had a secret handshake n' everything... then it came time for Ol Lucifer to become one with God... which is basically the equivalent to becoming everything... and when you become everything... you kinda give up being yourself you know? So Lucifer decided screw that noise, he had a better idea. If God could could exist the perfect light, or love in this whole life situation, he would be there to be the perfect Darkness.. to contradict God, to be his balancing act. Because really who wouldnt know who god was if he was the only thing that existed? I mean knowing god would be cake, cause thats all you would have ever known, and because of that who would really appreciate god? Who would really understand God? Nobody, thats who! and that really didnt sit well with Lucy, cause he loved God, and he loved all his creations. He became this ultimate lie, this ultimate darkness, so that people could recognize the ultimate truth, the ultimate light, when it inevatably hit them in the face, Thus enabling the spiritual evolution of all those creatures under him.

And it might come to question, Why would God allow this? If God was perfect light? Perfect love, then why would he allow perfect darkness to come into existence? Why wouldnt god just ***** slap Lucifer in the face and turn him into eveything like he intended. Well i like to think for however much god loves us, he still thinks that we are terdmonkeys that have alot to learn befor we ever get anywhere close to him. So who better to teach us than the Angel that knows him best? That knows exactly who he is, and knows how to guide us away from him. Who knows how to get us completely and totally lost, without hope, without anything, living in complete void.. and what better a time would it be for God(a.k.a. everything) to come busting into our lives like "Hey. . watsup love?"... all the while Satan is smiling in the backround, like "Now you've got it love"...

Thats right, id like to beleive that God isnt all good. And id like to beleive that Satan isnt all that bad.

Abit of love and hate in both... making the symbol a ying-yang? They do say its a love-hate relationship...

wadda you think? Be nice mind you, this was all in the sport of imagination and free speech

There seems to be alittle confusion so lemme clear it up

Here is my 'theory' on religion, God, Jesus(He'sus), and the Holy Spirit

What religion does is try to explain the spiritual aspect of man, sometimes not so well... let me clear things up

Close your eyes and say "Hello" to yourself in your head

You cannot see yourself

You cannot prove yourself

You cannot even prove that you said anything at all

But you know that you said something

you can feel yourself, your existence, your own presence. This is your conscious, and im sure your already well acquainted with it.

Now Try looking in a mirror...

and once again say "Hello" in your mind...

Your body did not move

Your mouth didnt move

and once again, you cannot even prove that you said anything

Yet you know you said something...This implies that you are not your body, you are something different, you are a spiritual being... this being is what religion attempts to explain, and it is what some people like to ignore alot.

Now for "God"

______________________________________…

You cannot see God, You Cannot touch him, You cannot smell him, and you cannot in any way "prove" that he exists.

God is not a religion

God is not a dude in the sky

God is not physical, tangible being

God is a Spiritual BOND

God is basically the collective consciousness of the universe, it is everything in the universe, and everything in the universe is ultimately it. It knows everything because it is everything, It is infinite because nothing exists that isnt apart of God. It created the world because it is the universe, which ultimately gave birth to planet earth and everything on it. You, me, and everyone and everything on this planet is in fact apart of this consciousness.

any questions, comments, insults, or concerns?

Im a 18 yr old Gemini sun/ Aquarius Rising

As you might know, the rising sign is the mask developed as a person gets older to deal with society. i just wanted to know what i should expect once i fully rise as an Aquarius? what type of world should i be looking at when people see me with an Aquarius mask on? I kinda get hints now, and it sucks... i mean if i could fit in more i would love to, but as soon as i put on that mask i seem completly incapable of doing so... and to make things worse i seem to attract people for no reason whatsoever, and they end up just being turned off by my seeming indifference .

I dont usually ask for advice on here but i could sure use some now

Some if not a good amount of Atheists believe in the existence of a soul, or spirit? Not in regards to any particular religion, but just in general...

When it comes to my thoughts, i would consider the being of consciousness itself to be some sort of a unexplainable, metaphysical type thing... because the consciousness is pure energy, pure existence...

I can understand doubting Christian fairy tales of adam and eve, Noahs ark, and whatnot... but is it really hard to believe that there are some concepts and things that exist in this world that science is not fully ready to explain yet, tho still are in existence

What do you think of the soul?

Need alittle help brainstorming ideas for proving the scientific plausibility of reincarnation, no idea is to crazy or to out there... please share

Alright, so the whole deal of the Zodiac is basically for a soul(like you or me) to learn the true meaning of love, the soul passes through the Zodiac gathering this meaning. Meaning you and I have a specific thing to learn about love, here on earth and it is our life's purpose to discover that specific thing... yeh wicked i know

Here is what is Referred to as the twelve initiations of love

Aries - the infant - "i am" to teach that love is innocence and learn that love is trust

Taurus - the baby - "I have" to teach that love is patience, and learn that love is forgivness

Gemini - the child - "I think" to teach that love is awareness, and learn that love is feeling

Cancer - the adolescent - "I feel" to teach that love is devotion, and learn that love is freedom

Leo - the teenager - "I will" to teach that love is ecstasy, and learn that love is humility

Virgo - The adult - "I analyze" to teach that love is pure, and learn that love is fulfillment

Libra - Marriage - "i balance" to teach that love is beauty, and learn that love is harmony

Scorpio - Sex - "I desire" to teach that love is passion and learn that love is surrender

Sagittarius - Knowledge - "i see" to teach that love is honesty, and learn that love is honesty

Capricorn - Expirience - "I use" to teach that love is wisdom, and learn that love is un-selfish

Aquarius - Idealism - "i know" to teach that love is tolerance, and learn that love is oneness

Pisces - Submission - "I beleive" to teach that love is compassion, and learn that love is all

I am a Gemini, so i am supposed to teach that love is awareness, which i try to do and have succeeded befor in doing. But i am supposed to be learning that love is feeling, which is kinda hard to do when the weather is cold outside if you catch my drift, nobody wants to feel the cold... much easier to just turn the feeling switch "off"

Any who what do you think of your Love initiation? Do you teach what you know? Have you learned what you dont?

Alright there seems to be alittle confusion about what God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and Satan is

Here is my theory

What religion does is try to explain the spiritual aspect of man, sometimes not so well... let me clear things up

Close your eyes and say "Hello" to yourself in your head

You cannot see yourself

You cannot prove yourself

You cannot even prove that you said anything at all

Ok now lets move to "Jesus" properly pronounced He'sus... i hope you got something from that

Jesus is the 'messenger'

The 'Shepard'

The 'lamb'

Basically Jesus is a metaphor for unconditional love, the message that god attempts to send with the idea of "Jesus" is that Love is the only way to him. Which makes sense, because whenever you feel connected to something, you typically love that thing. Gods message is that to be connected to "God" aka Everything, you must love him, aka everything. Jesus was the son of God simply because he loved everything and everyone, therefor he was completely connected to "God" or the "collective consciousness"

Think about it... When you love somebody and you know that that person loves you, do you not feel a bond? This is why Jesus is represented God in the flesh, because he personified a full love connection with God... in the flesh. Pretty simple.

"The Holy Spirit"

Is simply put, the part of you that is able to connect spiritually with stuff. The side of you that is able to love, and is therefor connected to "God", because any person you love is also apart of the everything, meaning you are loving and "worshiping" "God" just by loving anything.

"The Devil" <-- lol that silly thing

Is the part of us that is separated from God. If you do not love anything, you have no light in your life, therefor, God is absent in your life, which makes your life literally a living hell.

"Heaven" and "Hell" are not places in the sky, or below the earth, they are simply a state of mind. You can love everything and everything will love you, bringing you to heaven, or you can hate everything and you will be separated from all love, leaving you in the darkness where your own hatred destroys your soul.
