Ya just ask her and maybe apologize. It's not your fault for being sick and tired but it shows that you're concerned about it.

I like how realistic the dialogues are. When Luffy speaks you really feel like it's something he would say, and vice versa. There's even special conversations for two characters from completely different anime, like Kenshin and Hinata (from a volley ball anime it seems). I have completed Luffy's adventure arc but I didn't try going online yet. I'm afraid of going against people with purposefully bad connection and spammers, among other things like the narutos and ichigos described by Jinspike. Edit: I fought some matches online. It's full of Ichigos. For my first time I did not understand I had to press square to select my character so I had Hiei as a random select, I never used him before and still won. Then I picked Kenshin and pwned him, but he disconnected before my last attack landed :/

I dropped at episode 170-something of the first anime because the story went nowhere and was incoherent. That was before I knew what a filler episode was. I always considered watching it again, but never doing it. Now I see people talking about it and the Naruto Gaiden chapters and I'm glad I was too lazy to waste my time on Naruto in the long run.

I've played the series since the original. I was able to play the beta of 5 though and it was sick. The in game physics/mechanics of accuracy and targetting are on par if not better than Destiny. I loved the way characters move to. My favorite games are RPGs and FPSs but this one seemed to be pretty realistic in terms of those moments when you think you should have won a 1v1 in the middle of a match. I was happy to play it and I'm stoked for the release.

I've heard of that philosophy before, well said Absolutely. I appreciate myself so much more when I invest my time into myself. It truly does give time to reflect on oneself too, specifically it allows me to challenge myself from past experience. I've been through a lot these past few years yet I seldom take the time to consider patting myself on the back. I've still got a long way to go to reach my goals so thanks for that motivation. Individually it can be difficult to acknowledge what ones true limits are, past the walls of security we set ourselves. That being said its good to read that you've knocked yours down, its inspirational. That quote reminds me of a similar one from Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth novels. I've told people it before but most have failed to realize what it meant, you might. -"Once committed to fight, cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut decisively, resolutely. Cut into the enemy’s strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don’t allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -Richard Rahl -Terry Goodkind I've woke up twice to that routine so far, cheers to making progress and to striving for Self-Actualization and Self-Transcendence. Those words specifically coming from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I'm truly thankful for your response and inspiration.

Bern is interesting I'll give him that. I have never voted a straight party ticket and I likely never will. I am very centrist. The govt has become a bunch of clowns. They listen to money until the voter organizes and reminds them who's ass they need to kiss. They are still unwieldy with social media use that to our advantage folks.

I participated in my university's study abroad program so I have a little experience as well. First, figure out if you college has any type of international studies office or study abroad programs. That will probably be the easiest way for you to start applying and they can offer a lot of help with things. You might even get lucky and have your tuition waived for that semester, as my school did. For choosing your program, there's probably quite a few options. My college offered three different Japanese universities in different areas. One was an international school where classes would be taught in English and there was less required knowledge of the language. The others taught classes in Japanese and you were more immersed in the language and culture. Either way, it is definitely best to take a few classes in Japanese. Some areas may be more English language friendly than others.

Anyone here in the SF area? I don't have a whole lot of people to talk to here, and the place is too big for me to just look around.

Anyone else just waiting for absolute duo to come back? i was intrigued to watch it and yet it surprised me by alot. Kinda wish a new season would be announced.
