Ambivalent!  Good work on the prom date though.

[Chocofreak13]

indeed, if that's what your in to. i purposely skipped my prom (only one of my friends went, and with a broken leg too! he said it sucked, since it was basically a repeat of being IN DA CLUB. >__< ). me and my friends ended up gathering at one of their houses and having a video game night/random internet video night/marshmallow fight. :3 it was a good night. -w-

Chocofreak, props for doing so x) I went to the Finnish equivalent of prom myself and wish I didn't. Was pretty much a waste of time, even if I did/do like dancing. Oh, for the record: here you don't really have a "prom date" as the dance couples are determined in the PE classes before, unless you specifically ask to be with someone (it's very rare to do that).

[Chocofreak13]

that's kind of odd, being that whenever we did dancing in PE everyone HATED it so i doubt anyone would stand for letting the school set us up on a date xD

god, i can still remember the square dancing unit in middle school......i hated middle school.....
EDIT:
A QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY:
i have to do a project where we make our own encyclopedia. it can be about something that does or does not exist, it doesn't matter. i was going to have mine be about the races of changeling, but my teacher shot that down for being "unoriginal" (even though the majority of the races i have info on are fanmade and have no pictures/little description, which means i'd be making them all myself :\ ). so as a backup, i've decided to do it on the os-tans. to avoid this being shot down again, i was going to ask for everyone's permission to take full credit IN CLASS for the -tans i feature (this would include all the base -tans, and the more famous of the -tans we've made here, such as MULTICS, SAGE, and WATSON). i was going to post this online afterward, at which point i would give you full and total credit. but in order to do this in class, i need to say i made all of them.

pleeeease? if i can't do this i'll have to do the world of Ace's High, which i currently lack enough information on to fill an encyclopedia. >___<

[stewartsage]

I chose not to go to prom... or any other school function except the homecoming dance my sophomore year.  High school is a time I increasingly want to forget most of.

I've already weighed in on the issue, so do I need to again here?

@Choco: You're not going to claim you created them, did you? If your teacher found out that they originated from another source altogether (Futaba), which could easily be found out just by doing a Google search on the OS-tans, they're really not going to be happy about that.

If anything, could you give the original credit to Futaba for creating the first OS-tan characters, then mention your contributions to the fandom and expanded OS-tan universe?

Or if that doesn't work, you do your encyclopedia on the historical computer systems themselves.

[Chocofreak13]

but we're supposed to ILLUSTRATE the encyclopedia, so historic computer encylo. is out. >__< as for the -tans themselves, the origin of them is futaba/nijiura, but the trail ends there, which means they've become free use characters due to lack of ownership. sure, we all know that none of us created them, but we don't know who DID. it's like how we don't know who does graffiti, and we know we didn't do it, but it's fair game if you wanted to use it for something because the chain of ownership is non-existant.

idk what else to do for the fricken project, i had the perfect idea and it got killed dead. >__<;;

[Bella She/her]

Hmm... well the "expanded universe" set of OS-tans is original to this place... maybe if you explained that OS-tans were originally limited to Windows (and Mac, even though there are only a few "canon" Mac-tans) and that we created the rest (and many of the working of the OS-tan universe) that'd work.

Anyway. I set a personal land speed record today! ~73mph. On an interstate. Which was scary as hell. But I've finally completed my death-missle piloting (read: driving) training and am ready to get my license~

[Chocofreak13]

*pat pat* good for you bella!

look, if you guys have a problem with me using your work, i'll find another topic. >__<

[Bella She/her]

I don't have a problem with you using my work - feel free to, in fact, I'd love the exposure. 8D

ZUN, god he is a genius!

My lecture got accepted today by my teacher so its official official that I'm doing it now! Using touhou to show Shintoism, Buddhism, legends, myths, yokai, Yama, Shimigami, etc. Then with a great transition I go into the modern Japanese technology and show the Hatsune Miku 39's Giving Day concert! My Teacher was actually getting pumped for it when I was telling her what I was going to talk about so I should be getting a ton of bonus points (hopefully) by teaching the class next week (for probably Wednesday and Thursday, maybe Friday if I'm taking my time and doing activity's!)! Anyone with touhou stuff please send it my way!!!! I need everything I can get my hands on!!!!     

[Chocofreak13]

i think i already posted a link to the album i found.

and KICKASS that you're presenting the giving day concert!! ^0^ it's soooo cool, yet gets very little exposure since vocaloid is a subsect of anime culture. ^^;

@bella: the classroom is the only arena i'd be taking credit for it. in every other setting, i'd fully say that i didn't create them (except maybe SAGE, i think i contributed to her design :3). i was thinking about posting this online at some point, so i'd give you guys full credit where it's due. :3

i'm out sick today, so i think i'll begin work on the illustrated os-cyclopedia. ^^ once it's done, we might be able to port some of it over to the os wiki, mainly like the drawings and stuff. ^^
