Im actually in texas! GO LONGHORNS!!! Sorry I just had to blurt that out... Its contagious... But Im actually from Mexico originaly. Moved here last year. Where are you from lz? I always wondered that.

I'm from Tennessee, but I go to school in Mississippi. Down here, tea is either sweet or unsweet, macaroni and cheese is a vegetable, and we don't (usually) say "pop", we say "coke", even if it's pepsi :D I really like the south for its approach towards everything, if that makes any sense

I'm not really a fan of the south. Not for its politics (although I do find myself at odds with the conservative climate there) but I love cold winters. What the south considers a cold winter just can't cut it for me.

Yeah, I bet you would be at odds. In Tennessee there are cold days sometimes where the temperature literally drops. I don't know much about long, cold winters, but I'm also not a huge fan of the freakin' hot summers here.

Those summers down there are rough, too. I mean, the humidity gets brutal here in August/September (not so much this year; it's actually been super mild) but those southern summers bake me.

@The fox: yeah, the humidity is brutal when coincidentally the heat is brutal. This is one of the reasons I look forward to October: cooler temperatures.

I like all kinds of birds. Every thing from bird people like Janaff to those delicious hot wings. Yum!

Most boys in cartoons are voiced by women :)

I did not know that! $400?! That's madness!

@Iz2009 - when did this start!? Geez... I'm surprised. How can girls voice boys? In the time before cartoons (yes, there was a time!), everyone stuck to representing their own gender. Look at pantomime, Shakespeare and so on - boys were boys, girls were girls, there was no confusion. Just because we can't visually discern their gender doesn't mean girls should pretend to be boys.

What is the world coming to?

@Prosody: way back then, men depicted women in plays. And now people ridicule those kinds of men. How have times changed so much?!

That was the whole point. I can start talking about my favorite cheese, and end up discusing historical facts from Texas history :P

Cheese does stuff to me that is so bad that I can't say it here. There are a few exceptions, though. Cheddar and Parmesan don't bother me at all and are therefore my favorite cheeses :D

Now you're just pulling my plonker! There's no way a man would pass as a woman in a theatrical setting - everyone would hear his deep voice, see his thick, bushy beard and his masculine appearance would surely undermine the charade! The only evidence for such chicanery as you suggest is the documentary Shakespeare in Love, which although challenged by many (ill-informed) scholars is actually pieced together from home video footage that Dame Judi Dench shot 1,000 years ago in Shakespeare's day.

Actually Prosody, in the Japanese Kabuki, all roles were presented by men. Even the female ones.

And I say that you, good sir, are in denial. Perhaps maybe she-males played women back then. I'm sure they existed at that time!

Just for the record, I'd like to point out I'm well aware that men played women in Shakespeare's day.

Watch me, I'll get in both a fanboyish and interesting-fact post at the same time! Sometimes I amaze even myself. :O

Do you realize Jenna was not supposed to appear in Golden Sun at all? It's true, Mia (of all people) was going to have every role Jenna had in the beginning, being the main lady of the town of Vale. Luckily for fanboys like me everywhere, Camelot figured out that it wouldn't work, prompting them to the develop the character of Jenna.

And then the made her the damsel-in-distress. :( If only her brother wasn't such a wuss...

NL's resident loverboy and pyro. First to put the words "floss" and "waffles" together. Also, Jenna is mai waifu!
