J-pop dance was somuchfun last night~

We got there early, like, half an hour before the thing even started. @_@ So we lounged around in the bathroom by the lockers. Then everyone vanished while I was in the bathroom, so I had to go find them. They had gone and gotten in line at the front of the dance room thing. So I just snuck into line with them and we goofed around u ntil we could get in.

Once we got our ticket, we were all nervy about going in because no one else was in there. So we kind of waited until someone else was before we ourselves ran in and took claim to a corner of the room.

When the music started, it sucked, so Rachel and I declared mosh pits. Kaitlynn, Rachel, Phillip and I started throwing ourselves at each other and shoving each other around. Rachel and I turned ourselves into a human bowling ball and then we bulldozed everyone else, but then at some point we fell over ontop of each other so we caled it quits for now.

Troy showed up. Which was okay, in a way, because he had this hot emo guy with him. His name was Mark. We kept stealing Phillips hat and stuffing it down Mark's shirt to give him a uniboob. He was so emo we were like, "Give that kid a razor!" >>; Eventually we gave Mark a second boob and he looked like a woman. It was really funny.

Then we moved up closer to the screan where they were playing AMV's and stuff. It was so big it took up like, a whole wall of the dance room. It was sofunny. But retarded. o_o;

At some point around here, Jeremy[THE HOTTEST GAY BOY EVER. SERIOUSLY.] started stealing Phillips hat and running around. Phillip had to chase after him to get it, and it was really really funny watching them.

Dont remember what happened then. I think people kept trying to get me to dance, but I wouldn't. And then Jill was trying to show Rachel this slut dance move thing and I was like, "Wtf are you doing?" And then I did it and they were like, "O_O OMG YOU DO IT SO PERFECTLY!" Which was hilarious because I didn't even know how to do it or what they themselves had been doing. It was this weird move-down and then stick your butt out thing. o_o .... Retarded.

Thentehntehn they played Utada Hikaru's 'Traveling' and I was very very happy, and started dancing with Mackenzie. We danced through the whole song and longer. It was very fun.

At some point Kailyn jumped up and screamed, "I CUT MYSELF AT NIGHT!" And pretended to be cutting herself as she ran around. It was really funny, because she had put cut marks on her sleeves before we left. XD

Then Jill vanished and came back with... forever_slash! I don't know how she found her, really, because Jill had never seen her before, and I had only described her hair, but it was still funny. forever_slash hung around for a couple minutes and then I introduced her to her friends so then she went to bring over all her friends that came with her. [They were all really hot, but sadly they were all gay.]

THEN JEREMY SHOWED UP AGAIN! And we found out he had dated George from our school! Which was so funny, but so cute. Apparently Jeremy lives near me, too, because he said he lives 15 minutes from Pacific Mall, and so do I. Unless he lives in the opposite direction. but, still. o_O

forever_slash had returned with her friends around the time Jeremy showed up, I think. o_o And then we all started talking and watching her friend 'ghetto dance' xD Which was really funny. But then jeremy started doing it. he is the best dancer, ever, seriously. o_O He's so slim and light and he looks kind of like a woman.

Jeremy kissed me at one point, which was the funniest thing ever, because after he was like, "Ooo! You taste good!" And he kept licking his lips.

Everyone vanished at one point so I started wandering, and then found forever_slash and Jeremy and her friends, so I stuck with them for a bit. Jeremy is so sweet; he kept sharing his nib candies with me. xD

Got dragged back into the dance room and danced more. Another mosh pit was started, and some guy randomly joined in and then tripped over Phillip and went FLYING across the floor. It was so funny. XD

Then everyone wanted to go home a bit after that, and I was sad, because i didn't wanna go home. D= I was having too much fun. So we went and got our stuff and headed home, in the cold, pissing rain. D<

Thats me in my cut little outfit thinger. xD So many people said I looked adorable, and this one old guy would not stop telling me how 'beautiful' I looked when I was getting pocky from the vending machine.

More me. ;D

BUTTSECKS?

Rachel and I. ;D

I love this picture. o_o But its such bad quality it makes me emoooo. D=

Rachel and I again. ;D

"What about now, Rachel?"

This picture is SO FUNNY. It looks like something from the grudge or something. Jill went running into the girls showers when I wanted to take a picture of her, but she didnt want it, cause she thought she was fug. So I chased her and took a pic of her hiding in the corner, but then suddenly RACHEL SOMEHOW ENDED UP IN THE PICTURE WTF? XD

This is our gay boy Phillip, Our boob!Kailyn, and vampire!othilie. xD

Phillip and Rachel. ;D

Rachel and Kaitlyn. WHO HAS THIS EXPRESSION IN ALMOST EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE.

I love laying in peoples laps. XD I look so fucking retarded in this picture.

THIS IS THE HOT!EMO BOY MARK.

He had a skirt on, So Jill took an up!skirt picture of him hoping he wouldn't notice. Guessing by the fact that he's looking at the cam; He noticed.

Kaitlyn and that damned expression. xD

My flash kills all pictures. But this one looks cool. xD

I'M SORRY, forever_slash BUT THIS PICTURE LOOKED SO COOL. @_@
This is the cute Bailey. :P I like this picture. o_o It looks like her upper body is just floating.... o_O

IM SORRY AGAIN. XDDD
This is forever_slash and I. xD I look so bad, but she looks okay. The red eyes creep me out. XD

LOL WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS? XDDD

Then I got sick at Kaitlyns so I was like, "Fuck this shit." and went home.

:ALKALINE TRIO CONCERT PICS;

2006-05-20T22:28:25Z

Concert. Was. Amazing.

The bands that played were The Black Maria, The Lawrence Cross and, of course, Alkaline Trio. The Black Maria was great, but the Lawrence Cross SUCKED. I don't like them. But I only stayed up front because Alkaline Trio played last and I was eager to get the the front bar to be right up against the stage.

So. All in all, the concert just.. rocked. The Kool Haus is the coolest club i've ever seen.

They started right on time, which was good. :3

When the Black Maria played, the leader singer [Romito, I think his name was], jumped onto the crowd and grabbed onto Jill and practically mauled her lmfao. It was so funny. They played my favorite song, Betrayal, so I was pretty happy. :3

Then they went off and the stage was reset for the next band, The Lawrence Cross. I was like, "HISSSSSS." Because I don't like them. So for the most part, I ignored them. :3 While they were setting up everyone started lighting up bongs and smoking weed. Jill and I thought we were gonna get high off the REEK of weed. The Lawrence Cross had major technical difficulties though, and I laughed at them.

Some fat girl kept crushing my hip when the Lawrence cross was playing, and she REEKED. Like, omg. Try wearing deoderant and LOOSE A THOUSAND POUNDS BEFORE YOU GO TO A CONCERT, PLEASE. And Jill told her to stop crushing me and she was like, "Oh, no thanks. I'm fine right here." And just kept on fucking doing it. @_@ So since she was pissing us off so much we moved over to a bit of a more open space, where this girl who was so BAKED started elbowing me so I turned and just shoved her and she stopped. Then the fat girls boyfriend [ BOYFRIEND. WTF.] switched places with her and she was BESIDE ME AGAIN. WTF. And then the Lawrence cross went off stage and I was like, "UGH, FUCK, FINALLY."

So all the people in front went away because they were only in front for the Lawrence Cross. So Jill and I got to be right in front against the bars. But then THE FAT LADY MOVED BESIDE ME AGAINST THE BAR TOO WTF. So I ignored her. We started talking tot his guy beside us, who we found out was named Scott, and he lives in Toronto. He was pretty good looking and nice. He was so enthusiastic when the bands were playing. Lmfao.

At some random time or another the curtains closed. o_O The band was setting up, we assumed, while everyone kept beating the shit out of each other behind us. xD Jill started to feel icky and I felt bad. D:

Then the curtains opened and DUNDUNDUN. ALKALINE TRIO. 8D

They started off with a bunch of songs I couldn't recognize. By the end of the first song, people started crowd surfing and the sercurity were ripping them right out of the crowds. O_O; I got kicked in the head and bashed my chin on the bar and its starting to bruise now. xD

The band was really good, though. I was right infront of Dan Andriano, so I got a lot of really good pictures of him. I also got a few of Derek Grant, but not many turned out well. I hardly got any of Matt Skiba, though.

Then suddenly the fat lady starts SHOVING everyone on my side over with her fat ass so I kneed her in the ass and she gave up. She moved a little and I stole her spot and was pretty damned happy. :3

After a couple of songs Jill got a security gaurd to pull her out of the crowd because she didn't feel well. So I stood with Scott during the acoustic song, 'Sorry about that'. Before long, I started to freak out because of all the people and I didn't know anyone, so I just turned and ran for it. I couldn't find Jill or her cousins girlfriend, Shannon, so I ran to the outside of the bathroom. Seconds later I started bawling, and this guy came up to me and he put his arms around me and he gave me this weird look, like, a grin and concern or something and I told him to go away, and he looked hurt a moment before I said it again and he held his hands up and walked away. Then I just started bawling and ran like hell for the bathroom and started bawling.

The drink-watcher lady came in and asked me if I was alright, and even came into the stall with me and rubbed my back and stuff and told me it was alrgiht, that she'd tell security about this guy and they'd bust his ass and then she told me that I should go look for my friend, Jill, and that if I need something to tell her. SO I said okay, and ran for it back into the crowds to find Jill. I just kept running around in circles before I decided to hide in the bathroom again and then I saw Jill heading towards the bar area or something, so I ran at her and clinged to her and then I started hyperventalating because I was so terrified.

After awhile, I was okay, and we went back into the crowd to listen to the music again and sing with it. I sun so loud that my voice now has a crack, and I'm starting to loose it.

They sung all my favorite songs at the end. They even sang, "This could be love." I was so happy when they played it that i started bouncing.

Then, during the last song, the curtain at the back fell and there was this black and white curtain behind it witht he heart and skull logo they have. It was so cute looking. But everyone started cheering loudly when it began to fell.

Time for the pictures I took!

Before the concert, in my room. I thought I looked cool so I made Jill take a picture. xD

My Jilly. :3 This was during dinner at Loblaws. We all got salad. :3

THE BLACK MARIA

This was the leader singer of the Black Maria. He was good looking.

...And at one point or another his long sleeve shirt vanished.

The guitaristp[or, one of them]! he was cute in a weird way. xD But a good weird way! His hair style suits him. He was good at the guitar, too. :3 The other Guitarist never came to my side so I never got a good pic.

The bassist~ He was just... rofl. He only came to my side of the stage once.

This is the lead singer, again~

This was when he jumped up on the bar that kept us away from the stage and started mauling the people in the area. (AKA: JILL. XDDDDD HE SPAT ON HER.)

Damn, he was so good looking. @_@

THE LAWRENCE CROSS.

...This is the ONLY picture of the band I took. xDDDD

ALKALINE TRIO!

Dan Andriano! God, he was good looking, too. But he's old, I think. Not sure how old, but... Haha. His shirt was cute.

I think this is Matt Skiba. Bad picture, I know. Horrible cropping and zooming. @_@

Derek Grant! Damn, those drums were so awesome looking.

It's in black and white because it was in shades of green before. xD Wtf? It looks good though.

@_@

THIS PICTURE IS HUGE SO CLICK HERE.
It's only that big because it was a really good image so Its now my desktop. xD

Dan Andriano~~~

¦D

Matt Skiba again! He has a really good voice for acoustics.

Derek Grant again. :D His hair made me laugh. xD

Hee~ *hearts;

This was after the freaking out incident happened and we stood at the back near the bar.

Lookie! My girlfriend, again. :3

THIS COULD BE LOVE, LOVE FOR FIRE~~~ ♥ I want to rape these guys.

...and then...

...They dropped the curtain. :3

---

For my first show, it was really fun. :3

What: Fuuinjutsu, a brand new Naruto roleplaying group (forum style).

When: Set somewhere generally around episode 109, manga volume 20 (chapters 172-180), so there will be spoilers up to that point. The goal is to branch off from the main storyline and create an alternate timeline from that point forward.

Who: All characters welcome from the current manga chapters/anime episodes.

Warnings/Important: Het/Yaoi/Yuri welcome, character application required.

Any and all important information can be found by going to the main page and clicking on the --!IMPORTANT!-- board.

Whether you prefer slow-paced or quick-paced RP, forum style, like LJ, can be very flexible. If you want something that sticks fairly close to IC without too much crack involved (let's face it, the Naruto world is full of crack as it is), Fuuinjutsu is just the place for you. We do like to keep an open mind, though, and considering we'll be going on an alternate timeline, there are a lot of places the plot could go, and that all depends on our players! ^_^

There are also chat sections on this forum, so you can talk OOC and interact with the other players in a non-RP environment.

We look forward to playing with those of you who decide to join!

Characters already taken: Akasun no Sasori(Admin), Uchiha Sasuke(Co-admin), Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi, Hyuuga Hinata

Cross posted in Many places; sorry for any friends list spam.

Discovery of Insulin

The discovery of insulin is important to Canadian history because it helped saved the lives of many diabetics all over the world. A diabetic is someone who has no pancreas, so they cannot control the sugar in their blood and urine. When the sugar level in their blood and urine was too high, the diabetic would get sick and die. When a diabetic takes insulin, the sugar level in their body would go down, and they would be able to eat again without having to worry about how much sugar they had eaten.
In the begining of summer in 1921, Frederick Banting and Charles Best were working in a lab in the University of Toronto. In the lab, they would conduct surgeries on dogs, and remove the pancreas, hoping to make the dog become a diabetic. They would then experiment on the dog with the extracts that they had mad, hoping that it would aid the dog with it's diabetic symptoms. The extracts they used had anti-diabetic qualities.

Banting would buy a dog on the market, careful not to let the anti-vivisectionists find out about what they were doing with the dogs. Anti-vivisectionists were a group of people who were against suffering and pain on animals. Frederick Banting would sometimes end up covered in blood, only to have the dog die. Sometimes, the dog would live, but it would not become a diabetic because he had missed a part of the pancreas in the dog during surgery.

Before Charles Best returned from his vacation, Banting realized that all the work done so far, all his experiments and everything done so far would have to be erased. It was all incorrect because his lab helper, Charles Best, had not cleaned the glass ware properly. He and Best got into a fight, and the student nearly got removed from the project, but he had wanted to stay so no one took his place.

Time and time again, Frederick Banting and Charles Best failed to come up with an extract that would lower a diabetic dog's blood sugar.

One day in early August, Banting and Best injected a collie with an extract that had anti-diabetic qualities. The dog's blood sugar lowered, and Banting called the new extract 'Isletin.' Banting and Best continued their work to prove that the 'Isletin' really did lower the dog's blood sugar.
On August 9th, Banting wrote to a man in Scotland named J.J.R Macleod. He explained in his letter that he had created an extract that lowered the sugar level in the blood of a diabetic dog.

But, Banting came to a problem. 'Isletin' was hard to produce, and it took a great deal of time to make.

Near the end of August, Banting sucessfully removed the pancreas of a yellow border collie that they called Number 92. The dog soon after started showing signs of a diabetic. It was later diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. She began to urinate in her cage a lot, her eyes became clouded and the corners filled with puss. She became listless, and falling into a diabetic coma. Soon she would die. Banting then injected her with 'isletin' and the dog immediatly began showing improvements. Number 92 got up on her haunches, and looked around. Later in the day, after a couple more shots of 'isletin,' the dog's eyes cleared up and the sugar in her urine dissapeared.
Banting and Best looked on, watching closely for signs of regress, but she only continued to improve. Number 92 had no panreas; according to everything they had studied, and every rule in the book, the dog shoulder have been dead.

Two weeks later, Banting asked Best for Isletin, but Best replied, "There is no more." They could not give any extract to 92, and because of that, the dog began to show signs of diabetes. They had to let her die, watching helplessly.
That summer, Banting had little money. He only earned few dollars from performing tonsilectomies and selling his medical instruments for spare cash. He left London, selling his house so he could devote his life to finding a treatment for diabetes.

When J.J.R Macleod returned from his vacation in Scottland, he did not believe Banting's research. But after some persuading, Macleod agreed to improve their working conditions and the University was also persuaded to pay Banting and Best for their findings.

The team found out that if they took the pancreas of a cow fetus sent to the slaughter house, they could make isletin at a quicker pace, and they could make more at once, because a cows pancreas was bigger than a dog's pancreas.

Not longl ater, a doctor named Elliot Joslin heard about their findings. He sent a letter to Macleod, asking about their research. Macleod wrote back, telling that the research they were doing may be of real value to the treatment of diabetes, and that they were hurrying with their experiments and treatment quickly.

In November, Banting injected himself with 'isletin,' under the skin in his arm. There was no reaction, so they assumed the extract to be safe and non-toxic to healthy humans. Banting then contacted an old friend, Joe Gilchrist, a former medical school classmate who had diabetes. In december, Gilchrist swallowed some isletin, but nothing happened. This proved that to sacve lives, Isletin had to be injected and not taken orally.
On december 30th, Banting presented his work to the American Physiological society confrence at Yale University. Some questions, he could not answer, so Macleod and J.B Collip, who joined the team in late 1921, answered most of the questions that he could not. This led to Banting's growing suspicions that Collip and Macleod were trying to steal his work. Another reason for his suspicions, was because Macleod and Collip were friends.

On January 11th, 1922, Banting and Best took the extract, 'isletin,' to the Toronto General Hospital. Not having clinical privilages in the hospital, they had to give the extract to a doctor and wait in the ward. The doctor took the isletin, and injected 15cc into a 14 year old boy, Leonard Thompson, 7.5cc into each buttock. Thompson was the first diabetic to ever use ilsetin. The extract proved no clinical benifits.

Collip believed that the extract was not pure enough to work on humans, so he began to work on purifying the extract. He tested his findings on a rabbit in the lab, but the 'isletin' was too pure, sending the rabbit into a convulsion, known now as an 'Insulin shock.' The antidote for this was to give the patient sugar.

On January 16th, 1922, Collip succeeded in purifying the extract -- this was Insulin.
On January 23rd, Leonard Thompson slipped into a diabetic coma. His doctor gave him 5cc of the purified extract, Insulin, and the boy recovered almost imediately.
Banting tried to ask Collip how he purified the extract, but Collip would not tell him. Best had to pull Banting away from Collip because he had gotten so angry he threw Collip into a chair and tried to beat him. After that incident, Macleod made everyone sign a peace agreement.

Isletin was renamed Insulin because Isletin had no meaning, while Insulin meant 'island' in Latin.
Before Insulin was discovered, many patients went through harsh treatment which involved a strict diet that led to starvation. By early 1923, over 1,000 diabetics were treated with Insulin by more than 250 doctors.
