Az, christmas vacation?

[noir]

I hate blogs, but I love your site. You damn near bring me (and im sure many others) to tears.

If you have a day or so with nothing planned during your vacation time, I think I can speak for everyone here, we would love to see a few new stories, even if it's out of chronological order or whatever.

Thanks for the (so far?) never ending book we all love to read.

If I visit japan in 06, i promise I'll buy you drinks, so im not totally being selfish here.

ya, that avatar makes me very curious... the first thing that jumped to mind was Lain, but the art doesn't seem to match.

I'm fairly certain it's from Noir, which is indeed fitting ;)

[Ozero]

really.... darn... from what i've sene of noir, (like 3 episodes), it's very pretty, but moves slow even for my tastes.. generally after an episode, I'm left wondering.. "umm... so?"..

I think i was watching a 30 second segment of a unimportant table in a still shot with music when i finally decided I wouldn't become a noir fan.

I would have guessed it was Hinata from Naruto shooting herself... Which would have been a major win. (*cough*)

Haha, now that you mention it, it does look a bit like Hinata. Although, I have to admit that I like Hinata :D

The Japanese people's concern towards religion is usually related to mythology, traditions, and neighborhood activities. Confucianism, or even Taoism, tends to serve as the basis for the moral code and shakai-tsunen (social common idea). When asked to identify their religion, most would profess to believe in either Shintoism (54%) or Buddhism (40%), for simple reasons like their family has belonged to some sect of Buddhism or to avoid contention with religious foreigners. Nonetheless, most of the people are not atheists, and the tendency is often identified with syncretism. This results in a variety of practices such as parents and children celebrating Shinto rituals, students praying before exams, couples holding a wedding at a Christian church and funerals being held at Buddhist temples. A minority profess to Christianity (0.7%) and other religions (4.7%) like shamanism and Islam. Also, since the mid-19th century, many religious sects called Shinkosyukyo, and later shinshukyo, emerged.

At a guess, there's no Christmas vacation. Winter break, probably. But probably no mention at all of Christmas.

Yes, as Christmas has a lot to do with religion nowadays...</sarcasm>

The vacation centers around the New Year, not Christmas. Christmas is mainly a time for couples.

As nicely as you buttered the post up, that still sounds like a demand to me, dude. :p

Darnit, now I forgot what I was going to say.

Oh! Yes, but December 23rd is the Emperor's birthday, so it's a National Holiday. School lets out soon, too, and the New Year's holidays begin.
