If you don't like things ending, you should watch One Piece. It's been a decade since it started and it's only about halfway through the story. Which is the very definition of epicness!
I need time to go read that (not watch; I make a point of reading manga before watching the respective anime series, if I watch it at all). But I just look at the number of chapters and go @.@
But since I resolved to read it, I probably will. Sometime. Maybe when I run out of other stuff to do. Or maybe if I get bored enough in the next half hour before my sister leaves the TV free for me to play Twilight Princess on it.
Here are some pics from my vacation....just to bug Shadowman :P
and
Pepsi donated to the Giant Nickel....but Coke didn't...
The giant Nickel is a tourist attraction because well, Sudbury has the second largest Nickel mine in the world.

Yayz for Twilight Princess!
I loved that game.
May the Triforce be with you.

Better to find out now then at a point where you might not have a chance to recover.

I'm not allergic to either... in fact the only thing I'm allergic to (maybe) is Apricots. But I haven’t had that since I was a baby so i could be a) still allergic b) outgrown it or c) more allergic...
So I'm not willing to try... no matter how curious I am. And I’m a VERY curious person… it’s just one of those things, ya know?
BUT I AM VERY HAPPY!!! I went to the library and found 1 new Doctor Who book + 1 new Eoin Colfer book… I’ve read every other DW and EC book in the Library… AND THERE’S TWO NEW ONES!!!!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I CAN’T WAIT TO READ THEM! (But I have to do some things on here first lol)
Hi! I'm not allergic to bees or anything like that, though it's been at least ten years since I got stung. My dad's allergic to yellow jackets though, maybe bees too.
I though the ending to Kenshin was fine (not amazing, but fine) and HP had a really good ending. Keep in mind that you really can't put everything that happens to every character in an ending or it'll end up too long and most people will find it boring (sure there's always some who want to know everything but they're the minority). A good ending is a careful balancing act (speaking as both a fan and a writer here).
If you want to see some stuff with truely bad endings check out the following: His Dark Materials book series, The Daystar Voyages book series, and Arc the Lad 2 (a PS1 game). Daystar is just plain poorly done (in a very major way), HDMs is just extemely lame and annoying (ends on a major and not all that believable anti-climax). Hated those endings so much that they basically spoiled the whole series for me (which I'd liked up until the end). Arc 2...well it was just really depressing and made you feel like everything you did was kinda pointless.
Oh yeah, really will get a ROM post done sometime soon. Been busier than I thought I'd be (and kinda distracted be the last few things in KH FM2+). Will get a webcomic club post done tomorrow too (haven't had time to read the comic for the same reasons).
It's true, though. The ending is the hardest part of anything. Jim Henson had a saying; "When you can't find the ending, just blow something up, eat something, or throw penguins in the air."

I've never read the ending of the His Dark Materials books... I managed to get about halfway through The Amber Spyglass before I stopped reading it because it was boring. The first two books were great, but The Amber Spyglass was... *Yawns.* So, yeah. Never read the ending. Although I'd heard from a lot of my friends that the ending sucked, so I guess I wasn't exactly missing out on much.
Also, my Dad got a new grill thingy (think: George Foreman) that makes really good grilled cheese bagel sandwiches, which is pretty much grilling two halves of a bagel with medium orange cheddar cheese in between, but it's soooooooo good!
The ending for One Piece probably won't suck... Oda's had it in mind since the beginning, and he's been working on it a good ten years already! = )
Also, I'm allergic to ragweed and used to be allergic to cats, but I grew ot of my allergy to cats.

I LOVED The Golden Compass. The second book was pretty good, and the third was okay, but I absolutlely LOVED the first. It's one of my all-time favorites.
The final ending did suck. It was depressing, and just overall not good.
I'm not allergic to anything I know of. I'm not even sure if I'm allergic to poison ivy.

Hi! I beat the data versions of every Organization XIII member in KHII FM+ yesterday including Xaldin the All Around Annoying, Xenmas the Cheap & Overpowered, and Saix the Nearly Always Invincible.
Today, on the other hand, it's looking like I might be extremely busy (phone calls to make, shopping to do, etc, etc, etc) so I may not be on much.
