I might not fully remember you (name...is slightly familiar) but I totally agree lol. And this whole name-changing thing must be a little confusing for people who come back after years of being away. Though I suppose most oldies didn't change names so it's all good. :)

I LOVE MOCHI PEANUT MOCHI = WINNNNNNNNNNN Mochi ice cream isn't bad either.

>implying that I was serious joke your head WHOOSH Seriously, lighten up. And yeah, if you mess around with those Big Mac sauce recipes a bit you could probably come up with a new sauce that's better. :D

Ew, is that your face? Very bad picture, doesn't look good. derp derp derp I usually go with medium/medium rare. Anything else takes too long; just give me my damn steak/burger already! (I'm going to go find something to eat now too...)

Burgers? Nice and simple. (that was about a pound of meat, I think)

Exactly. I'm usually a proponent of isolationism, but I (as many of you seem to be) am also a supporter of self-determination, and defending the South would be defending that idea. Seems to be China's move at the moment though. They have the potential to mess everything up or to cool this down...

That's the baked version, that actually resembles bread, with savoury meat filling. What I posted was the steamed version, which was a soft bun. The ones that Not_Trolling posted are the legit traditional Chinese ones; those are the westernized ones. :P I like Szechuan cuisine, by the way. Bring on the spicy. :D

<3: It's so weird reading the pinyin lol, I always just say it out loud. I usually don't like Cantonese food (probably because my dad's family is Canto and we have Canto food every single [bleep]ing time a relative comes over), but cha siu bao are fine...very fine. While we're on the topic of Asian food, how many of you can I creep out with this? [hide=][/hide] Pig's blood cake. :) Less disgusting but just as good: [hide=][/hide] [have no clue what the English name would be...it's chicken something] Oh man I miss Taiwan so much.

UAE and Qatar obviously win, but for countries that aren't rich off oil, Taiwan >>>>>>>>>>> China. The US can go somewhere in there, I don't care. I mean, one of the tallest buildings in the world in an earthquake and typhoon zone...yeah. Beat that, commie mainlanders! :shades:

God. Love. Curiosity. Deal with my religion and beliefs. Love...love of friends, love of...others, love of family, love of music, love of computer/internet...the list goes on. And I put "Knowledge" at first, but I realized that it's my curiosity that leads to knowledge, so that wins spot #3.

HOW DARE YOU COMPARE BOSTON AND NEW YORK D: I'll record something later and let's see if you can tell that I'm Asian. :)

Best part of Halloween for me is seeing the costumes that people wear to school. No, I'm not talking about the girls who dress as [bleep]s. I'm talking about the people who use the holiday to bring out their creative/crazy side. Last year a friend of mine wore a blue shirt with cotton balls taped to it, and a bottle of Lysol filled with water. He was partly cloudy with a chance of rain. This year? A bunch of Chilean miners, a Teletubby (Tinky Winky I think), and a guy who was on roller blades all day with a boombox (and pink shorts). The guy who was Tinky Winky also happens to be the tallest guy in the school. :thumbup:

Germany - for some reason I love the place, even though I've never been there and I have no German blood in me. Great history, interesting culture...plus I love German football. New Zealand - Lord of the Rings. Seriously. Also penguins. I hear there are some in the south. Australia - New Zealand with less sheep and more desert. It's always sounded like a cool place to visit. Norway/Sweden/Iceland (yay for grouping together countries that probably don't want to be grouped together!) - aside from being cold, they sound nearly perfect, though that's an outsider's opinion. Other random European countries (Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, etc.) South Korea - STARCRAFT Japan - I've passed through Narita a few times, but I really want to see what Tokyo and the other big cities are like. And it would certainly be interesting to island hop across the Pacific.

Me! I really need to read it again though. The only thing I didn't like about it was how all the names were so similar...Feanor, Fingolfin, Finrod, Fingon...and then you have like Celebrimbor and the other C's. It's not 100% authentic J.R.R. Tolkien, but I also have The Children of Hurin. :thumbup: And I love how this whole page has been about Tolkien so far. :) Edit: And Amon Hen. That's where Boromir was slain.

*high five* (me too) My old editions of the books have been read so much that they're all bent up and stuff. So I got the "movie edition." But now that's bent up too haha. If I stacked all my LotR/Tolkien stuff, it would probably be my height lol
