55 sec average. 45 sec best. and yes... i AM asian. ^_^

This isn't anything you do in circuses... but I can do a lot of things involving fingers. Pen Spinning: Thumb around, reverse thumb around, thumb spin 1.5, thumb spin 2.0, sonic 23, sonice 45 (or is it 32 and 54?), reverse sonic, neo sonic, charge, reverse charge, and some made up stuff that don't have names. XCM (card manipulation, not that good at it though) A few magic tricks Coin roll Book spinning (can't do textbooks thought, fingers aren't strong enough yet =/ ) Can solve a 3x3x3 rubik cube in an average of 55 seconds. Fastest time was 45 seconds. Oh... and I can juggle 3 balls in 2 hands... and 2 balls in 1 hand. or 4 balls with 2 balls in each hand. Yeah... the only thing I'm exceptionally good at is pen spinning though. The other skills are just... average.

:shock: I always thought I was in the 80s-90s range. First try too.

I like ... darn. I like everything about females. -_-" I guess the thing I dislike the most though are elbows. I mean, when the arms are straight and stuff, you just see wrinkly skin. It doesn't bother me much, but I had to think of something. Oh, and I dislike male bodies, except mine, cause I'm so smexy, jkjk. Erm, yeah. Nothing in guys really attracts me which I guess is a pretty good thing.

Dang, what do you do for a living? :shock: And I must say, nice taste in cars. I myself was looking to buy a Civic SI Coupe, but it'll have to wait until after college. Probably go down to 15k by then. :D

I enjoy wearing the prep look. : Give me a undershirt, a polo, jeans/cargo shorts, nice boxers, nice belt, flip flops, a bracelet, and a necklace, and that'd be my favorite outfit ever. I generally shop at AE a lot, sometimes Aeropostale. I'm not really a brand [bleep], but the quality is a big difference. Some people say that these stores are expensive and that they can get it for cheaper elsewhere. But that's really not true. Aeropostale constantly has 50% off and AE has sales sometimes as well. What I really like is American Eagle, it's just harder to find good prices for them. For example, a pair of cargo shorts I bought yesterday. Original price was $45. Well, it was on clearance for $30. And then I added 15% off because it was within a week of my birthday. So I ended up paying $25 for them. At Wal-Mart and Old Navy, you buy shorts for $20 each, but the $5 is seen in the difference in quality. (Plus, I'll admit, I think the eagle logo is sexy . I don't like it when it's like ALL OVER YOUR SHIRT, but a tiny eagle logo really does brighten up a polo or your shorts (if someone's bored enough to find a eagle on your butt, lol).) OH!! I also LOVE their flip flops. I got a pair of suede flip flops and they're SO comfortable. It's like walking on a cloud. I also have some canvas and leather ones, but they don't get as much love as the suede ones. Hm... what else? Oh, I refuse to shop at Hollister. I think their clothes are ok, but the California surf look is imo, stupid. I'm willing to bet that half the people in my school that wear Hollister have never been to California, let alone know how to surf. And the prices are ridiculously high. $30 for a polo? A&F too. Even though the quality of the clothes is very good (I've tried on a few polos), the prices are outrageous. $70 for a polo? $100 for a pair of ripped jeans? Even though these clothes will probably last at least 10 years, I think I'd rather buy 4 sets of American Eagle clothes that would last me 3 years than 1 set that'd last me 10. Just my two cents. \

Hi, welcome to the 21st century How'd I get here? O_o Nah, just saying why like 3rd world countries still do it. If you read all the way down, I said I thought arranged marriages were stupid for countries such as America, Europe, China, etc. Just giving another point of view for more fun. :P

I think most of y'all are missing the point of arranged marriages. Back in the classical periods and in some cases of the post-classical periods (mostly the Chinese civilizations), arranged marriages were ideal. Life back then was totally based on social stratification. If you were born a peasant, you stayed a peasant (or serf if you wanted to, but that's OT), if you were born in the higher castes, you usually stayed in the higher castes. In fact in China, besides the examination system, MOST people in leading positions did not EARN their positions by YEARS of studying and test-taking, but instead were BORN into it. However, if a women were to marry someone of a higher social level, then she would be promoted. It's basically the only way for a women to be seen as something in the community, elsewise they'd be nothing. An example is all the beautiful women who stayed in the emperor's palace just hoping to become a concubine so their status could be boosted. Also, I don't believe that love was that important in those times. I read somewhere in the post about feet-binding. Feet-binding back then was not purely for looks, but was a way to limit, literally, how far women could be. With feet like that, women could not run away or do hard work, but were instead confined to housework. But it's not only the Chinese that praticed confining women, the Western civilization also did it in the form of corsets. So in short, arranged marriages were highly looked upon in those times due to all the positive attributes. Love meant close to nothing. ^That's all from memory from my WHAP course, so I'm not saying that's 100% accurate, but it gives a good reason why arranged marriages were so good. But arranged marriages in 1st world countries is stupid IMO. 3rd world countries I can understand.

What I do for tennis is first stretch the legs. Y'know, to the right for 10 secs, to the left for 10 secs, and down the middle for ten secs. (Everything's ten secs from here on out.) Then hold you right/left feet next to your butt. Then shoulder stretches, arm stretches, and finger stretches. Next you should lean your upper torso as far right/left as they go to stretch the abdominal muscles. Run 2 or 3 laps around 3 tennis courts width and warm up your jumping, side steps and backword... moving... thing. Then I usually play mini-tennis (service line's out) for about 5 minutes. AND THEN I rally from the baseline. I make a big deal about warming up because that's how one of my coaches got hurt so I believe it's really important. Plus I feel as if I have more energy if I do and I don't feel tired as quickly.

I'm pretty sure Ohio would've been bumped below USC regardless of a win/loss in the preseason polls due to the fact that Troy Smith is leaving as well as 21 (or so) seniors. And boo... I betted money on OSU but it's like they were sleeping the whole game. In addition, it was a really BORING game to watch/ :|

Photoshops. You can colour select what you want to remain and what you want to go to grayscale. Like that. Thanks Cad, But be more specific please. As in.. What was the tool/filter called? http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselem ... lcolor.htm There's tons of photoshop tutorials online, you just gotta make sure you have adobe first :wink: Anyway, I think we've established that CE's a girl. GREAT JOB EVERYONE! =D>

San Antonio Spurs- That's sorta where I live... Texas Longhorns- That's like 1 hour north of me, plus 2005 national football champs in addition to an awesome basketball team That's basically all the sports I watch on a regular basis

So, any of you people out there that may have their own websites know that most of the time it's required to put one of your own pictures on it. Well this is fine and dandy, but seriously, once you put up 10 bizillion pictures of yourself up, they all start to look the same. Sadly, that's happened to me. So I'm looking for fresh creative pictures that I can take. If anyone of you people want to share some ideas or even post a picture (just draw over the faces) that'd be great. Photoshopping pictures works too. ex Now your turn! :D

Everytime I am within 5 feet of a pen/pencil (or any other long and somewhat cylindrical shaped object ranging from rulers to remote controls) I have to reach over, and give it a good spin to see if it's a good spinning object. If it is, I do a short combo with it and then put it down where I found it. If it's not, I just do a normal thumbaround and sigh in disgust. I need to break this habit as sometimes in school I just reach over and take someone else's pen and start spinning it #-o

Must be the squinty eyes XD
