Hehe... Quite nice metod. But how will I walk??? Yeah, sometimes they understand, sometimes not. They are only my classmates, not friends. Besides, they don't understand when they should be serious and when something isn't tasteful. Po example: they think that taking someboby's project (and that somebody was working on it hard) and destroy it is funny -_-' So how I can not puch them??? One of them almost destroyed MY project! Oh well, rough age...

I think you should try to talk with your friend. Heero would tell you the same. Talking is the best way to know the answer

And YES, YOU JUST DID THAT

I agree with pilot03... they will understand. So now that they're afriad of your pian giving techniques, all you have to do now is lift your leg up, or raise your hand... you don't need to hit them, just threaten... they will be just as afraid.

And I realize I was a bit harsh, Fatimai1 so I give you this formal appology, I'm sorry.
I don't say it much, so enjoy it...

It is very depressing but I'm not going to go cry a river. *does Timberlake impression* Did I just do that??

[shudders] Ooh- JT?! [shudders]

Raspberry, I gotta agree with the guys here, you have to understand that 'hitting' your pals is your initial reaction, but no way does that make you a mean person.

Heck, me and my guy go for a boxing match all the time... literally. Gloves, mouthguards, stadium ring and all--

[hesitates and ponders] "Ring....."

Goddamn you Heero! This is all your bloody fault now!!!

You poor baby!! Despite what you may think, you do deserve an answer. Is it possible that you did something inadverdently that may have caused this?

You just did, hon.

You know I still love you!

I do that a lot, Raspberry-san. I dunno how the "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" saying settled into me, but I guess it's because I look so meek and a good little girl

, that's why people take advantage of that. And I've learned to fight back now. But if you really wanna stop, block violent thoughts out and just fight back with words. They hurt just as well, without any physical damage. Or do what Yuy-san says.

I'm sorry.

Hidoi desu. Honto hidoi desu. But that's nice of you!

Witch-chan I know that words hurt the same

Wow! HEERO APOLOGIZED! I have to record it somewhere!

And now next problem. I've started to read fanfics in internet some time ago. And I don't know what all these "ratings" means:

G

PG

PG13

R

NC-17

Angst

Can somebody tell me? Heero?.. Witch-chan?.. Morri?.. ANYBODY!

From my experience:
G: They probably forgot to change the rating, but usually acceptable for general audiences.

PG: Have you ever actually seen one? Some references may be something of a nature you wouldn't want to explain in detail. (e.g. something along the lines of MBF's "Stick")

PG-13: Again, have you actually seen one? Probably contains a great deal of violence.

R: Either contains a lot of violence, or it's contained to one part and the author rates the whole fic that way just to be safe.

NC-17: Expect to see Haooy, and probably lots of it.

Angst: Not so much a rating as a category. It basically means the author is going to regularly torture Heero.

Adaon, *laughs* gotta hand it to you for the Rating of G... I've never seen someone 'define' it like that before.

Pg-13 (for me anyways) may include some violence, language, a few sexual references/scenes/etc.

As for angst? Oh my word, I specialize writing stories of that genre!!

Basically, it's self-brooding, inner conflicting battles with yourself, regretting the past, trying to redeem your soul from sins that will never be washed away... all that lovely goody stuff.

One example I can think of is probably the tv show, Angel, by Joss Whedon, same creator as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It may not be the best example out there, but it's the first thing that popped into my mind. Comic books (American style) love that too. Say, Wolverine of X-men... Spawn, and horror of all horrors....the freakish Batman. *shudders just thinking about that* (sorry if I offended anyone out there)

Oh, and there's probably lots of movies out there with ANGST written all over them.

(got this from FFNet)
[G] General Audience : All ages admitted. This signifies that the film rated contains nothing most parents will consider offensive for even their youngest children to see or hear. Nudity, sex scenes, and scenes of drug use are absent; violence is minimal; snippets of dialogue may go beyond polite conversation but do not go beyond common everyday expressions.

[PG] Parental Guidance Suggested : Some material may not be suitable for children. This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents might not like to expose to their young children - material that will clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are allowed to attend the film. Explicit sex scenes and scenes of drug use are absent; nudity, if present, is seen only briefly, horror and violence do not exceed moderate levels.

[PG-13] Parents Strongly Cautioned : Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. This signifies that the film rated may be inappropriate for pre-teens. Parents should be especially careful about letting their younger children attend. Rough or persistent violence is absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug use may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually derived words may be heard.

[R] Restricted-Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian : This signifies that the rating board has concluded that the film rated contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their children to see it. An R may be assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of language, theme, violence, sex or its portrayal of drug use.

[NC-17] No One 17 and Under Admitted : This signifies that the rating board believes that most American parents would feel that the film is patently adult and that children age 17 and under should not be admitted to it. The film may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of sexually-oriented language, or scenes of excessive violence. The NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the rated film is obscene or pornographic.

Angst - for me, these are fics with really sad and broding stuff. I tend to stay away from these fics and read humor and romance (but NOT lemons), but I like a good, solitary feeling now and then.

If you want simpler explanations, listen to Calla Lily-san and Adaon-san. I love both of your versions of ratings!
