lol I didn't even really hear the word 'anime' before high school or so >_>; it was mostly video games and trading cards back then.

I bought my 1st manga when I was 11...
* 1000mAh goes too look at the publication year of the 1st manga vol he bought
humm, it was year 2007, it was before my birthday, so I guess I was nearly 13. :DDD
but yeah, saw the 1st eps of jap. dub. anime with eng. sub. when I was 9 or 10, around the same time was the 1st time I played with MTG :D and the 1st eps of the 1st series I saw were ep 1 of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, ep 1 & 6 of Hellsing and eps 1-10 of X TV

<_< The kids back then didn't read much, and in English class it was always crap of story novels, so manga were virtually nonexistent then as well.

Table top gaming on that list too?

Cards games were always on the floor when it wasn't lunch recess ::).

I always assumed it was a picture icon. I don't really care to zoom in to see details of tiny icons o.O.

In early August, Jeon went out for sushi with two other interns, Astrid Fernandes and Letian Zhang. He told them that he was thinking of going to Libya to join the rebellion. It was a chance to see something historic before school started, and he wanted to feel what it was like to have different kinds of problems. "No more PowerPoints or crazy-ass spreadsheets," he said. Libya seemed like the obvious next step in his journey.

"Are you fucking crazy?" Zhang asked.

Zhang took out a pen and started drawing on the place mat. He'd studied math at Stanford and was heading into a statistics-focused sociology Ph.D. program at Harvard. He made a probability map for Jeon. There was a 25 percent chance Jeon would get shot before making it to the front lines. If he did make it, there was another 25 percent chance he'd be killed in the cross fire, since he didn't speak any Arabic and had no idea what he was doing. He gave his friend a 50 percent chance of dying.

Jeon felt like he was dying already.

lol

Before I reached high school, Pokemon was literally the height of coolness. Everyone collected them, to the point where the headmaster banned everyone from bringing them to school because people were too busy trading them to pay attention in class. I don't know many people who actually played them though; just collected.

Then after Pokemon, it became Beyblades, though they were only cool for less than a year.

Some people should just do the world a favor and shoot themselves in the head immediately.
It took an hour to write; I figured it'd take an hour to read.

We are generally bored megido.
On the other hand our teacher has given us a revison plan for our exams in November.
His everyday plan is something like this.
Sleep- 7 hours
Study- 15 hours
Other things like bathing eating and all- 2 hours.

And some people are actually thinking of following it.

Actually i don't plan on studying for more than 10-11 hours a day maximum.
That would make my plan something like this
Study- 10 hours
Sleep- 7 Hours
Internet usage- 2 hours max including 1 hour for IRC(may watch some anime if i don't find anyone talking on IRC)
Exercise- 2 hours including jogging etc.
Remaining 3 hours would be for meals, anime and regular work etc.

I can't afford more than 7 hours worth of studying on a weekday >_> too much non-study assignment work.
