Okay, I have a question
Edited on Wed Dec-21-05 07:30 PM by TimeChaser
If I dropped out of school and began training to become a ninja, would you all think less of me?
:P

2. I'd still think of you as my anime bud!
:hug:

Just don't suddenly go crazy and murder us all, kay?





Oh, and by the way, if you want to get me a Christmas present, I like Descendants of Darkness stuff.

3. Never seen/read that
What's it about?

And the whole ninja thing's mainly due to the fact that, despite swearing that I would never cosplay as someone from Naruto, I think I will sometime within the next year. ... But you'd laugh at me if I told you which character...

4. It's a pretty good series.
If you don't mind slash/yaoi, then check it out.

It's about two partners who are guardians of death. They find wayward souls and guide them to the land of the dead. Very good series. The whole yaoi thing is a small theme, so if you don't like it, you can pretty much ignore it.

I promise I won't laugh at you! My friend ran around with that little head-plate thing on all day and I never laughed at him!

5. "If you don't mind slash/yaoi"
Eeeheeeheee... I happen to be a yaoi fangirl (well, equal opportunity fangirl, but I do love yaoi). It sounds like fun, I'll have to check it out sometime.

And as for who I'm probably going to cosplay: the perverted hermit himself, Jiraiya. Although just getting myself a forehead protector and running around campus sounds like fun.

11. I think ninjas still have to have day jobs.
Hence, college.

But it's a keen idea! :D

20. I'm not saying you can't
I'm just saying that you might want to have something a little more steady between like, avenging your master and beating down random dudes in dark alleys/forests.

21. Hmm... that's true
Zoologist by day, Ninja by night?

BTW, next semester I'm going to be working with my advisor on real research already. I can't wait!

23. I think Zoologist and Ninja are very complimentary
Sort of like a cross between the Crocodile Hunter, Indiana Jones, and House of Flying Daggers.

Especially if you're going to be working as a zoologist "on location."

What's the research??? Field or lab???

:bounce:

25. An SEM, eh?
I had the opportunity to get one of those.

The school got one and it didn't fit in the door so it sat out on the sidewalk in a box for a week. :P

Parasites of what?

27. Fish
Did you know there's a parasite that infests the brains of minnows and makes them behave erratically and swim near the surface of the water so that it's eaten by birds which is the worm's main host?

29. That's a little freaky
I was aware of invertebrate parasites which cause similar behaviors, but not the minnow parasite, no.

:scared:

I've also seen that one Star Trek movie.

:scared: :scared:

And that one episode of X Files.

:scared: :scared: :scared:

But truth is always stranger than fiction.
