Wow. My friend told me that her best friend who lives in a small town in Illinois that her friend was in home ec. class and some kid iced a swastika on their cake. "It occurs mainly in the cultures that are in modern day India and the surrounding area, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes...

Dollhouses and baby dolls are actually very good toys for young children to play with, both girl and boy. It allows them to create pretend scenarios, and as mentioned in the above story, establish parental and domestic roles so children can learn about these things. I fully intend on getting Michael...

I've always thought there was nothing wrong with letting boys play with dolls. Boys like to play pretend just as much as girls. What's wrong with establishing ideas about pretend or playing house and such? In Pre-K and daycare classrooms, boys often enjoy playing in the pretend kitchen or dress up v...

Chibi-usa is in Kindergarten when we are first introduced to her, so I'm assuming she's younger than 7. Probably closer to 5 or 6. Either way, google is your friend. I found the following from here: http://www.rahul.net/arromdee/sm.faq.2 Ages and grades: Unfortunately, a bit complicated. (Note: I am...

wow here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex we got nailed by a massive cold front, and while 20-30 degree temp. are normal up North it pretty cold for down here. Not to mention most people in Texas are not use to driving in icy conditions so we had a bunch of major accidents this morning. Yeah i'm f...

To be perfectly honest, I'm not impressed with Bella's character. There really isn't anything unique about her that I can read. Nothing about her personality that grabs me or that I can identify with. It's the reason that I next to never read books with female protagonists. I never seem to find any...
And I'm with Aishiteru on Bella's obsession with Edward. What teenage girl at one point or another hasn't obsessed over a guy she liked? For those interested, you can go here to read Edward's point of view on everything. He was, in fact, obsessing over her, too. Eh. I didn't. But I wasn't the typic...
I'm a hopeless romantic, and enjoy sub-par books for pure amusement (come on, I've been collecting the babysitter's club and reading it. You can't get more unintelligent than that =P), and I couldn't even enjoy this. I think it's just because by the last book, it sounded so much like a fanfic writte...
If I had to read one more damn time about how OMG BEAUTIFUL Edward was I was going to burn the book. I understand that in Meyer's vision vampires are supposed to be breathtaking, but I don't need to read about it several times in almost every chapter. I think out of everything in the book so far th...
If you think Bella is a Mary Sue NOW, wait until the third and fourth books. Seriously, it's why I had to stop reading. I enjoyed the first one. I even mostly enjoyed the second one. By the third one, I was wary...it was beginning to get a little ridiculous. I couldn't even finish the fourth one. It...

here I go reviving this thread again, but like before I actually do have something to add. I hate it when other players try to "fix" your characters. One of the most frustrating examples I can think of is once I was playing as a blind girl in a game and just about every session I got "Oh I can cure...

Interesting? I find it a mockery and...well, something whose purpose is obviously to ridicule and laugh at these people more than anything. Do your friends consider you a fanboy/fangirl? Have you ever missed work, school, or other important events to engage in role-playing or cosplay? Are you misund...

At the risk of starting a "oh noes they're sick and can't control it, poor things ;_;" "no they're idiots and need to grow up rawr!!11" debate I have to ask this. I've heard a lot about how anorexia is a disease and no girl chooses to have it, the disease chooses them and they can't control it etc....
