That won't save you if I get serious tho tbh greek is very tricky, if I had to learn it as a second language, I'd be flipping tables every day XP

hahahahahaha organised? what does that even mean? *wipes tear* I'm the most unorganised, forgetful and irresponsible person I know ._. I've tried MANY ways to try and get past this, but I always end up givig up sooner or later cause nothing helps. My schedule is a mess, I always feel like I don't have enough time, much like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland..... which feels strangely similar to my avatar I'm hopeless....

What is this strange feeling? Oh, it's the need to start teasing you by writing in full greek Είμαι τόσο σατανική!!!

At the beggining of the anime, I really liked Asuna, she was just so badass! But then she was fell in love with Kirirto..... and turned into a housewife. I felt really bad for her, she deserved better. Asuna was probably the only character I liked in the whole series

I'm not surprized.... I have no idea what I said myself It's kinda hard to describe it. It seems like I need to start from the beggining (I'll try to keep it short :3 ). Back in summer 2008, we had a big renovation of our house which cost a lot of money and even though we replaced almost all of our appliances, we couldn't afford a new fridge as well. And a crappy looking fridge covered in stickers didn't really fit with our house anymore. Therefore, we had a carpenter make a new wooden surface for the door to cover up the damage...or something like that.... and now NOTHING is allowed onto said surface. Magnets wouldn't stick anyway

Γεια σου και καλωσόρισες στο φόρουμ! :3 What? That's pretty simple, you can probably understand it Ceasar est homo magnificus my Latin is bad, sorry Anyway, have a great time in the forums

ETYMOLOGY Over the years, I’ve heard one too many different opinions about the origins of the word ‘canival’. However, it appears to hail from the late latin words ‘carnem’ (meat) and levare (to remove/ take away) which actually sums up the purpose of the carnival period: to prepare yourself for the Easter fast. The greek word ‘απόκριες’ (apokries) also indicates an abstinence from meat. HISTORY The celebrations that accompany carnival originate from ancient Greece and the Dionysian rites, that took place in late winter and symbolised the coming of spring. In Athens, specifically, a chariot would make its way to the city while being followed by dancers and singers, who were dressed up in costumes that resembled goats and sang satyrical songs. After the prevalence of Christianism, pagan elements were fused with the new traditions, thus indicating the beggining of the Lent. Modern carnival started appearing in Greece during the 19th century, after the Ionian islands were unified with the mainland. The Ionians, that were under heavy italian influence, contributed greatly in shaping contemporary celebrations. DURATION The duration of the carnival period can vary, depending on Easter. The opening ceremony always takes place on a Saturday night in mid January. The same doesn’t apply for the closing ceremony, though. The Burning of the Carnival King, that marks the end of celebrations, is exactly seven weeks before Easter. If Easter comes late, like this year, carvival can last up to two months! CELEBRATIONS Different cities host different events and, honestly, there are too many of them to be written here. Therefore, I will only focus on those that take place in the city of Patras, where I live. Organisation: In order to take part in the parades, you need to sign up in a crew. Crews can be found anywhere in the city and each of them has their own set of costumes for males and females (you can choose whichever you want). Sometimes, crews have more than one costumes to choose from (mostly for females, though :P). You need to pay for your costume (duh!) and price depends on quality as well as the number of members. (If you go with friends as group, you get discount, discount good! *said in russian accent* ) Events: Opening Ceremony One would think that the opening ceremony of such a grand series of events would be rather extravagant and it would feature a variety of shows but, actually, it’s more of a warm-up. It lasts for a few hours only and usually features singing by local singers/bands as well as dancing by some of the cities dance schools. A fireworks display couldn’t be missing of course (this time they went a bit overboard with it, making it even more gorgeous!). This year, we also had an acrobatics show that was a really nice addition It’s also the first day we can dress up, although most people go for a simple pair of animal ears or a mask rather than a full costume (at least I think it was, because I’m short and couldn’t see well ._.) Smoky Thursday After the start of the carvival period, no major events take place until the famous Smoky Thurday. Every meat lover lives for this day. Just like the name says, it’s a Thursday…. a barbequed one! Every store, wheather it is a hair saloon or a bookstore can set up their rotisserie (is this even a word? that’s what google gave me…) and roast dozens after dozens of souvlakia, selling them ridiculously cheap to passerbys, with loud music blasting out from the speakers. At schools, students and teachers can dress up however they want. In some elementaries, parents and teachers come and set up the rotisseries in the school yard and give children souvlakia for free, while they are having a party dressed up in their costumes. In middle schools, teachers usually order from a store and students have to pay a small price to get their souvlakia. In high schools…. well, they just let the students off much earlier without giving them any meat. It is a great chance to go out and eat with your friends, though. In the city center, certain events are organised for this day. This year we had a comedy wrestling show, in which various weirdos engaged in fake fights to win food. Later in the day, we have the annual ‘Marriage of koulourou*’ (*erm…that can be translated as ‘a woman who sells buns’ or something…?). It’s an old custom that presents a marriage and it takes place in the old part of the city, near the Roman Conservatory. It is based on a local myth, of a naive old woman who fell victim to the pranks of her fellow citizens and was lead to believe that the president of America, Wilson (1913-1921), was going to marry her. Hidden Treasure It’s a game played by the crew members. They are given hints and visit different locations in the city until they find the treasure and win the prize. Unless you have a ride, don’t participate, it’s suicide. Chocolate Wars People throwing chocolates. Just that… JUST THAT!!!! Children’s Parade Also called the ‘little’ parade. Hundreds of children in their costumes join a parade along with their parents. They dance to the music or board one of the floats and lazily wave at the crowd…. (my parents never let me go when I was young…..). The little parade happens a week before the end of carnival. Float Parade Floats designed by the city’s artistic workshop have their own time in the spotlight the last Friday night before the ending ceremony. They usually feature satyrical themes such as …..wait for it…… politicians! What else? Night Parade The Saturday night parade is the biggest and most important of all (Note that Patras has the biggest parades in the country ). You see people flocking downtown in large masses, only stopping to take a selfie or two with their friends. The center gets closed down so cars won’t enter and everyone is able to roam the streets freely. Colorful and creepy costumes flood the place, as everyone is striving to look unique. It’s a great opportunity for otakus to cosplay without getting any odd stares (ok, I take that back, I got a lot of odd stares ). It’s also not strange if a person completely unknown to you comes to chat or ask for a picture with you because, clearly, your cosplay is so awesome (it’s not like I’m bragging about myself here….). Alcohol is abundant and so are whistles and all kinds of trinkets that make noise. If you’re an old man living downtown, don’t even consider sleeping. Partying lasts until morning Big Parade I don’t really get why they still call the Sunday parade ‘big’… It’s much smaller that that of the previous night for one simple reason: hangovers! Even so, it’s still pleasant to watch or take part in, whatever you prefer. Ending Ceremony The ending of the carnival period is signaled with the burning of a large gag-statue, the Carnival King. Every year, the artistic workshop makes a different King to be burnt, although it’s usually a famous (and hated) person…like……. wait for it….. a politician! What else? Once the King is on fire, there’s another fireworks display. And after that, it’s all over. See you next year! Others In between the major events, lots of others are being held like plays, concerts etc. THE GOOD SIDE Carnival, unlike the western Halloween, lasts for a long period of time, allowing people to live it to the fullest and take part in more events that they can count. You can look however you like and really be yourself without a care in the world. It’s also a huge financial relief to the city since tons of tourists come to visit. THE BAD SIDE Obviously, all big events have their downsides. The night parade especially, can be quite dangerous. Lots of people means lots of perverts as well. Stick close to your group! And, for God’s sake, when will people realise you can have fun without getting drunk? The 2-3 months after carnival are the ones when the majority of abortions take place….. guess why… OVERALL Carnival is something I both love and hate at the same time. I love the freedom it gives you but I hate noise and crowded streets. Still, if anyone asked me when is the best period to visit the country, I’d definately choose this (summer sucks). As long as you’re careful, it can be a most joyous experience. Stay safe and happy! Evil Bunny, signing off~

bah, the teach being the bad boy was too obvious...more than the bad guys in Scooby Doo. I hoped it was someone else that would completely catch me off guard.... at that point when he was in the car with Satoru, I wished he was joking and saying sh*t just to freak me out #disappointment Now, although Satoru will probably find a way to escape, I am curious as how he will pull this off. However, I can't say killing him would be that weird, if his actions led to it (man, this anime feels similar to Until Dawn ._.). Just not yet. He need to reveal who the reall killer is first.

OMG what a beautiful fridge!!! (this is the first time in my life that when I'm calling a fridge bautiful, I'm reffering to ts outside rather than the food it has inside ) I'd love to have some,too, but our fridge door is completely covered in stickers from when me and my bro were little, so now we have a woodden ....erm.... dunno how to call it.... think of it as a phone case but in door size

train ftw what's your favourite whaether?

I have to agree with that. The only ones I liked were those in BW. I could go on for hours about how little effort is being put in designing them Whoever is in charge of character designs neeeds to understand we need appropriate clothing XP

True.... sometimes you need to let your fabulous hair wave in the wind..... but but a pokemon trainer without a hat loses their prestige (sorry, I know how you feel, I hate hats myself and never ever wear them ) More clothes are definately needed, as well as different styles. I'd also love it if they had an option to choose the character's build, much like in Awekening. All the chars, other than those in BW look far too childish, and honestly, it annoys me a lot. They added different skin colors in XY so what I'm asking is not that weird ._. A full customisation menu would be so freakin great but I may be asking for too much here....

me neither.... How can you even hate ORAS, you get to go on a freakin trip in space Are you dancing half naked in your room? Yeah, I bet you do I'm growing more and more impatient about them, too (although I still believe the names could use a bit more imagination ). I found XY a tad bit boring during the parts where you fight team what's-their-name-I-forgot-cause-they-were-so-unimportant, so I'm hoping for better villains this time. I also REALLY hope they're gonna add customisation options like in XY (and man, I so want clothes shops again, it was so much fun ).

I'd answer the same thing No, I suck at dancing.... I look like a baby camel trying to walk... and failing Do you usually remember your dreams?

mattress tester or anything else that requires no effort cause I'm so darn lazy a very peculiar interest of yours?

I wouldn't call it 'love' since I never had any romantic feelings (in fact it's kinda complicated to explain) but in a way, I did have a tiiiny crush on my kung fu teacher XP What's the best gift you've ever received?

reviving game because I'm so bored I have no idea, I've never paid much attention to contollers hmmm let's see..... have you ever been in love with a teacher of yours?

Hello and welcome to the forums I hope you have a great time here!
