 I had a college friend who told me his grandmother's sister, mother (or something to that extent) and her family were murdered in their apartments toward the end of the war. He said they were in hiding in an apartment and that the Nazis drilled a whole in the apartment ceiling (above where they were) and poured in Zyklon B. Has anyone heard of this? Or anything like it? Is it even probable? I consider myself well versed on the war/ the Holocaust and the two things that point out to me is the effort/end of the war paradox. First off, toward the end of the war the last thing the Nazis cared about in Poland were a few stray Jewish people hiding. Second, it takes a whole lot of effort carrying around Zyklon B in your truck, drill a hole in the wall, and pour it in safely. I feel like they'd just burn the apartment down before they did that, since they weren't so fond of Poles, either. To be fair, I broke off my friendship with this boy because he was a total exaggerator and compulsive liar. A major "lie" I counted against him was this--the rest was him just wanting a pity party for a non existent finical issue, or inflating his accomplishments to a ludicrous level. (Rather minor, in the long run.) I'm wondering now if there is a shadow he was telling the truth about this Holocaust story. If he wasn't, I'm just going to conclude he's a sick person to make up a story like this for attention, and likely has some psychological issues. And probably eventually confront him, since stunts like his fuel Holocaust denial.
then_i_fail, posting in sailormoonfans @ 09:27 pm: anyone need this season?
 Anyone missing a season in their collection? i posted before about the pre order going on in one of the comic stores, well they have extra stock left. So heres your chance to get a good decent bootleg set. Each boxset brings 4-5 discs that contain all the uncut episodes. they can also include that seasons movie if you like. They arent those crappy bootlegs from ebya that have no cover art or crappy disk labels that peel off after a year. They have the artwork directly printed onto the disks, they are bootlegs though because the back of the disks are always either gold or that bluish color. i have sold quite a complete few sets from the many variations they have on ebay for a small 20 dollar profit. some people only wanted certain seasons so i have extra ones lying around now. some colors and centering also varies due to the press machine making so many boxset covers at a time from a single roll or something, also they said that the disk art are printed one at a time from this like machine that prints thousands at a time so the result is always the same. anyways i can take more pics if you want. they sell on ebay for 30-40 plus shipping. i want at least 30-33 each depending if you want the movie included or not but if you want more than one ill lower it.

 ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jupiterhime's post gave me an idea, and i apologize if it's been done before~ but i was thinking we could have a member directory kind of thing where we post what state or country we live in and there could be a list of other moonies in each area :D ( current list )members would be added as they comment with their location. good idea or bad idea? Current Mood:  curious the_sweet @ 12:14 pm: Fire Festival '09 Day 1 (for Mer)
 Last night was "Day 1" of the Fire Festival for me, even though it's been going since the 15th. I like the new location, even though the parking lots are awfully dusty. It's very big, leaving more than enough room for people to walk around without feeling squished. There also seem to be a lot more exhibitors than I remember from the last time I was there, including all kinds of nifty, crafty stuff that I liked: brownies with coconut butter and walnuts, waffle shirts that say "Sweet" on them (Dad bought me a green one), and a woman who makes jewelry fashioned to look like molecules. I'm kind of torn between the creativity necklace (featuring serotonin, acetylcholine, and dopamine), the caffeine pendant, or the estrogen pendant. And I'm very tempted to get this oxytocin onesie for my baby cousin Eva</a>. I worked at the Pantogram, an old-fashioned engraving machine. But not just ANY engraving machine, no: it takes a larger-scale image (say, of an Eye of Horus) and translates the movements as you trace the large image onto a brass pendant that's six times smaller. We only had three templates: an Eye of Horus, a hook, and a skull and crossbones, but it was pretty popular. By my count, we made 31 pendants over the course of a little less than five hours. Considering each pendant takes anywhere from five to fifteen minutes, that's pretty awesome! A lot of people liked the interactive-style of this event, which is why I had no problem doing it for hours: instead of just watching some expert work an old machine, people actually got to do it themselves! We had people of all ages, all genders and backgrounds making their own. We got some pretty good ideas for other templates too, but I don't know if it'd be possible to make new acrylic templates in one day. I also got to see Jessica Hobbs again, back from when I went to a web design class offered by the Richmond Beacon back at Wash (a.k.a. my high school). She was the one that basically taught me how to use Dreamweaver and Photoshop! At first, I wasn't sure if she recognized me, or if she didn't WANT to see me ("ahh, reminder of things done nearly a decade ago!"), but she seemed pretty nice once Dad more or less pushed me into the general vicinity of her space. Apparently students coming back to "haunt" their teachers makes all teachers feel old or something. (Six years isn't that long!) I didn't spend a ton of time looking at everything or even watching the main performance, but I did get to see the Life-Sized Mouse Trap in action. Remember that board game? The one that took forever to set up and only a few seconds to come crashing down in colorful burst of glory and destruction? Yeah, now imagine it life-sized. It was amusing, albeit short for all the set-up time. I was actually hoping the players might get to do a bit more than help heist the safe up into the air using the handmade (!) crane. Food-wise, the selection wasn't huge, but it was varied (if that makes sense). I had the volunteer food of chicken pasta, fruit salad, and a roll, and a walnut brownie. Later on, Dad and I had a strawberry and melba crepe with whip cream. For a late-night dinner, we got food at this place that blended Indian and Mexican food: I had a sauteed mushroom quesadilla with other vegetables, while Dad had a pair of lamb tacos. Good stuff, though I hope there's more variety tonight. Obviously if I could live off desserts for a night, I would.... I'm just chilling at Dad's loft for right now. I finished my Week 2 iLab assignments for my DeVry Web Graphic Design/Visual Design Fundamentals class, but as always, I have lots of other things to do. Better hop to it!

 For some reason, I couldn't take my eyes off the the magical-ness that was Kaiba acting extremely OOC and snuggling up with three other men, two of which were barely clothed. No, it's not a fanfic silly, it's this video :3 ( So many dead puppies... )
miss_breeziness, posting in sailormoonfans @ 09:00 pm: Sailor Moon demotivational posters. Again. :)
 I used the generator at Big Huge Labs. Most pictures came from Seramyu Antics, although The Sailor Moon Funny Faces Gallery and Starlight Pops also contributed. :) Many of these captions were inspired by the fine folks of the Seramyu Antics forums. Here are some anime ones:     And quite a few using Sera Myu pictures:

 Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to this community, and I wanted to make a quick introduction. ^-^ My name is Mandy, I'm 23, and I live in Central Florida. I am a HUGE Sailor Jupiter fan; so much that "Makoto" is on my class ring, and I had all my teachers call me "Makoto" for 3 years, lol. My favorite season is probably Super S, and I have a Sailor Moon collection that is slowly taking over my apartment, much to my boyfriend's dismay, lol!! <3 I have a Myspace account, if anyone's interested. It's: www.myspace.com/goddessofjupiter P.S. ARE THERE ANY OTHER MOONIES IN FLORIDA??! I'M LONELY! ^-^;; Current Mood:  hopeful 2baki, posting in anime_eloquence @ 11:55 pm: week 116 - extension

 Wow guys! Such a great turnout! I'm so proud of you. <3 Which also means, voting's going to be pretty tough this time around. But you know the drill: vote for three icons, no voting for yourself. Oh, and I don't think it should be a problem, but I feel obligated to mention that there are just a few icons with some nudity. It's nothing bad or anything, but I don't know if anyone is sensitive about it or anything. So I just thought I should mention. ( 25 Beautiful Expecting Icons )Tags: challenge 231, voting
ccsharumun, posting in sailormoonfans @ 08:07 pm: Happy day!
 At long last, my complete collection of Sailor Moon manga has arrived! I started squealing as soon as I realized the box was for me, and what it contained. I bought the whole collection in Japanese for relatively cheap from Sasuga Books. I'm stoked, because I have really fallen in love with Naoko Takeuchi's original art. Although my style is quite different, I hope to be able to draw with such delicacy as she does some day.
I also can't wait to start reading and experiencing the manga in its original language. There are so many questions I have about this story that could be issues of translation. 
Current Music: "Nobody" - Wonder Girls jujubinha @ 12:04 am: Quidditch! I MISSED YOU!
 I spent the whole fucking day on the phone, looking for hotels and inns and whatnot, and making reservations, and if I never have to do that again, it will be too soon. Still, I'd be a kick-ass secretary, dude. Too bad I'd kill myself or something. * I watched Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. ( My thoughts, let me show 'em to you. )* I decided to go to Belo Horizonte to visit my goddaughter and her baby brother, and this time tests and law will have nothing to do with it. I plan to do nothing but play with her - except, do 11 year old girls even play anymore? OMG, I won't have to give love advices, will I? Because really, *that* would be laughable. And wrong. She's ELEVEN! Actually, she's not eleven yet - one of the reasons I want to go there this week is because her birthday is on Tuesday. So I'll probably travel on Sunday at night, so I can get there on Monday morning. My parents are getting there on Friday anyways (we plan to go to Ouro Preto and Tiradentes too - thus today's making reservations odyssey of doom), so I'll have some time to stay with her and spoil her. I miss her. She's awesome and she lives far away and I miss her, guys. * I have, once again, a paid LJ account. I had no idea I'd miss it so much. There is a whole bunch of stuff that I got used to that just doesn't exist in the plus account. But now it's back! *pets pretty resources*And speaking of internet and paying for stuff, I am seriously considering let spy-glass.net go kaputt. I rarely do anything with it nowadays, and having it just makes me feel guilty for not playing with Photoshop or making brushes anymore. Besides, I can still keep my old brushes online in places like deviantart, in which I already have an account anyways (there are even some brushes there already). It'll be hard to see it go, especially because I truly love my domain name like whoa, but I really have no use for it. And I could be spending the money with other things, I guess. I mean, there's always Etsy to tempt me and all.
