10th grade As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Senior year The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Graduation Day A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
A Few Years Later Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
FuneralYears passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.
The moral of this story? Don't be afraid to tell what you feel about the person you secretly love

The Anime 12 Commandments
Twi's last post got us into a really good topic, and one I simply love!!!
So, let's talk anime!
"The 12 commandments of Anime
1. Thou shall know what mainstreamers are
2. Thou shall not think thou knows all
3. Thou is not an anime fanatic/otaku because one focuses on a single anime
4. Thou shall realise what is anime and what is a cartoon
5. Thou will never blame anime for growing to have mental illnesses/become a psychopath
6. Thou will never turn thy back on anime
7. Thou will honour/respect other animes even when thou does no favor a certain one
8. Thou shall be friends and make friends with other anime lovers
9. Thou shall try and watch different animes, even with subtitles (aka broaden your horizons) 10. Thou shall read manga
11. Thou shall not destroy any anime material(s)
12. Anime is thy friend, not thy enemy."
These are 12 very clever Commandments created by "Jat- the Moses of Anime" (or "Jat, Gamu extraordinaire"), I think all anime lovers should follow them.
What do you think?
Love

Anime!
The year is 2006, the 21st century, where humans work nonstop trying to make a living but I'm afraid that it's harsh, especially for young people. Take me, for example. I'm 16 years old and it won't be long before I graduate and after that I'll have to work my ass off just to get a job and, let's face it, it ain't easy nowadays.
I asked my self yesterday "What can I do to get rid of this stress?" and then something flashed in my head. ANIME! YEAH!
That's right, anime. You know, the japanese cartoons, the one's with the big eyes and the funny faces, that's it :D. Believe it or not, pretending to be an anime character (not forever, duh!) can be an enjoyable pastime. Try it out with your friends, draw your own series or watch some if you're too lazy. So many things to do! And it works too...
Twi's quote of the day: Don't be a fool. Be cool (it rhymes and everything ;P)

What is love?
"Love". Such a common word these days... Do most people even think about it's meaning when they say it?
Love is just a word, a combination of sounds, letters and meanings. "Ai shite iru", "I love you", "Amo-te", "Ich lieb dich", "Je t'aime", "Ti amo", what do all these different languages reffer to?
Most people just use these words so repetedly and so carelessly, that they are losing all their meaning.
But what about the reall primordial feeling to which this word is associated?
What about what you really feel when you are "in love"?
What can we call that desparet need to be with someone? To hold that person? That nervous chill in the pit of you stomach all day as you wait for news about that person? The way time just flies when you are together or just talking to each other on the phone? The feeling that you can do anything as long as that person is with you?
What do we call all this?
Yes, it's Love, but this word must be used carefully and with lots of thought.
I could never tell a person that I loved him/her without thinking very carefully about it,. Because it's serious topic to me and I can't take it lightly. In my opinion, nobody should.
But thats why I know that I really love my family and my bf.
We should all take a deep breath and think about the real meaning of love, and of course, of hate too. Because thats another word we use without to much thought and that can hurt many people.
I think every person should try to see the world by the eyes of others. It would avoid lot's of wars and fights and misunderstandings.
We must leaen to understand each other, be understanding and live in harmony.
Lot's of (in lack of another word) love to all

Distant Dating
How about dating someone who lives far, far away?
It may sond hard, but if you really like each other, nothing can avoid love! Trust me , I know!
Sometimes, internet can be very dangerous, but the net can also make people very happy, some of the happiest couples I know met on the net, but, please, don't just jump in. You must be sure of every little details before you decide to do anything to private on it, remember, their are many nuts out there!!!!!
But, when your love lives far away, what to do?
Writting is great (exept when the letters are late, like it happens to me sometimes :-( );
Calling is great too, but what about the bill?;
so, the net may be one of the best options.
Is it hard? Yes, it's very hard to love someone and not be able to touch them, but nobody should give up on love, right? Who knows what the future has in store for us, so maybe one day, most of these distant couples may be together and who knows, maybe life has a few other surprise for them.
Making plans for the future is good, but going with the flow is great as well, so you never get too disapointed and there is always a chance you may live a long happy live with your "distant" love, who you hold so closely in your heart.
No matter how far or how old, or each others color, religion or language, NOBODY SHOULD GIVE UP ON LOVE!!!
Love is the fuel of live! And the fuel of the whole world! Without it, hate would prevail, and that would be a complete disater, right?
Love you all, my readers!
Peace :-)
ps. I love ya, Mike!!!
