If it has a door I've gotten my fingers crushed in it.

If it has a door I've gotten my fingers crushed in it.

Reminds me of the staircase in my grandmother's house. Every member of my family on my mom's side has fallen down those stairs.

If you're tacky then I'm total white trash. I buy men's cotton knit boxers and wear them all day around the house with a wife beater. In the winter time I'll switch to baggy pajama bottoms. It's just so comfy.

Also, I sleep naked. I can't stand wearing clothes while I'm trying to sleep. The fabric will start to tug in one direction and it'll bother me way too much. In the winter time, I make up for it by piling more and more comforters and sleeping bags on top of my bed.

I also sleep naked (except for panties.) I'm another person who just moves way too much. And I hate getting indentations in my skin from it.

I hate Wonder Woman. I was a Sailor Moon fan growing up.

Can't be a fan of both? Though I too was more of a Sailor Moon fan (well, Jupiter fan.)

I could NEVER find an April TMNT action figure growing up. I remember my dad sent me one for my birthday one year because he lived in Florida and apparently they had more in stock there for some reason. That was an AMAZING birthday gift.

I had like... three? One was normal April, one was third movie April, and one was total 80s whore April. I never did understand that one. Also the only TMNT doll I had that had REAL hair (real shitty hair.) There was a paint chip missing on her spandex shorts that just made the whole thing worse.

I also had a Mona Lisa. Vastly preferred her.

edit: I had to post a picture of this doll. The hideousness has to be seen to be believed:

I hated this doll so so much.

I tried using Sailor Moon as an example of what anime was when explaining it to some 5th grade girls I was tutoring, but they said it was a "boys' show." What?

 

[shortyme]

Speaking of fighting, got any scars girlgaf? Others feel free to answer.

I've got a big one down my arm from surgery. Its ugly.

They've probably never seen it and are going off the name. lol. In what way, shape or form is it a boy's show?!?

It features women in outrageously short skirts.

 

[shanshan310]

haha, I guess that's true. But its basically a story about GIRL POWER except they always need to be saved by a hunky man. Also princesses.

 

[shortyme]

I think most younger girls think anime is just for boys.

 

[The Librarian]

haha, I guess that's true. But its basically a story about GIRL POWER except they always need to be saved by a hunky man. Also princesses.

The short skirts are all I remember about it. I think that's why I watched it. I think there was this dude in a suit too...

 

[Kentpaul]

My pinky is a little bent since i fell on it a few months ago

 

[Devolution]

Tuxedo Mask, Moonlight Knight was cooler though.

The only thing he ever did was throw a damn rose (okay, I guess he got stabbed once or twice.) Otherwise he was always ALWAYS getting captured. At least once per season, and at least in one movie. Tuxedo Mask was far more a damsel in distress than Sailor Moon ever was, and say this as someone that thinks she's one of the most annoying characters ever.

 

[shanshan310]

Sailer V was the best

Tuxedo Mask was my favorite. Dude was the originator of swag.

Any of you gals root for any sports teams? I used to root for the niners heavily as a little girl, puberty and the niners sucking ass hit, but I got back on the pony.

I usually just root for my state's teams, Yankees, Jets, Giants... I don't like the Mets though ahahha.
I'm more of a soccer person specifically I like the national teams, Brazziilll~

 

[Femmeworth]

Sailor Saturn and Pluto would like to have word with you.

Just curious, but was the change in interest due to external pressure to conform or was it due to heightened emotions or something else?

 

[NihonTiger90]

*reads thread, sees discussion of Sailor Moon and comic heroines*

I quite like where this is going.

Oh, and for the record: Sailor Neptune is the best.

 

[Devolution]

Several factors. I grew up spoiled on Young niners. After Young and Rice were gone my interest really fell off, and the onset of giving a shit in general about Football waned. In highschool the football season coincided with my volleyball season, so I was usually spending time training/playing games. So in a way I replaced that competitiveness with my own. Now that I'm no longer in sports and gaming much less, I want to watch them again.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Oh, I thought you were being serious about the puberty thing. Nvm.

 

[Devolution]

Oh, I thought you were being serious about the puberty thing. Nvm.

Kind of was? It's not like my peers were into it. I can't find the pic of my niners jammies but here's one I did find. I wore that Rice shirt till it broke.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Ha, cute kid. You must have been called beanpole a lot.

 

[Lissar]

I kind of root for the Ducks. I've never been a school spirit kind of person, but eh... no one wants to see their university lose at something. I'm not really into competitive sports though. I like sports (that I'm doing) where I'm only competing against myself.

 

[Devolution]

Ha, cute kid. You must have been called beanpole a lot.

Found a better pic of that shirt.

RICE SWAG.

[Count Dookkake]

Ha ha. Looks like you are in the middle of some dance or doing a pose. Is that your hip?

Yeah my thing was wearing huge shirts meant for boys (like most athletic shirts) with bicycle shorts. I was weird.

 

[Kinyou]

Didn't this show even have a lesbian couple?

 

[Devolution]

Japanese version did. US version Uranus and Neptune were cousins.

They also changed an effeminate male character into a female in the US version.

You are a GAF regular. Most of us could say that last bit.

lol, I wonder if they'd still do this nowadays.

Didn't know that there... was a Sailor moon Live action show...

Yeah, I saw a clip of the live-action version. Haven't bothered to check out the actual show, because I felt that nothing could top this clip.

RICE SWAG.[/QUOTE]

Jerry Rice was my hero growing up. When I was a little kid, when we played any sport the word wasn't "catch", it was to "Jerry Rice" something.

 

[MetalAlien]

Awww shit, you used to look like my niece. Gonna be harder to be your enemy now.

 

[Inanna]

I used to be a huge Manchester United fan back in the day, not much into watching football anymore, or any sports really.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Really not a sports fan at all but I'll occasionally sit down to watch a Ravens game with my family.

 

[shanshan310]

Nah me neither. The only time I really get into sport is when the FIFA world cup is on

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I love the World Cup and the Olympics. I just can't really get into other televised sports. Watching them in a stadium can be pretty fun, though.

Yeah, its really about the group atmosphere for me. I went to the Olympics in 2000. That was pretty fun. But otherwise I haven't really gone to many stadium events..

I've been to a few football games. Liquor and good company is the only thing that really makes it enjoyable, for me.

 

[Devolution]

I haven't gone to a game in a long time. When I was around 8 or so I went to the niners summer training. That was cool.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Do people actually use Pinterest?

 

[Femmeworth]

What is this I don't even

 

[Inanna]

FIFA women's world cup was amazing this year. I didn't know American women football team was so talented, much better than their men counterparts for sure. Wambach and Morgan are actually really good. I was rooting for the Japanese, though. Glad they won!

EDIT: OMG, that live-action anime cracked me up, especially the transformation!

 

[Ashes]

Once a red devil always a red devil. We'll let go the part where you don't watch sport any more; welcome to our humble abode.

We play Newcastle in twenty minutes.

 

[Inanna]

Heh, thanks! I lurk the official football topic from time to time.
