I actually got on my soap box to another girl for my other fandom (Claymates unite!) which I rather thought was rude of her. I mean...you don't exactly get a lot of people being pleasent to you if your a Claymate, and she knew that, and she made fun of my other fandom! Jerk. But yea I got on my soapbox about how intelligent Avatar was and how it taught children to be more respectful about other races and that frogs today had medicinal purposes and that she shouldn't make fun of a show thats based in fact.. And other stuff (She still calls me a frog sucker though <<' )

Wait what? When do frog have any medicinal value? Do you have a link to that?
And one more thing (in Uncle's voice from Jackie Chan adentures) Getting teased over a T.V show is one thing, but telling someone how stupid they are for like that another show is the same thing. There is defense and there is retaliation. I get tease for having a disablity and being very akward. I defend myself, by ignoring them or in some rare cases I bi*ch slap them with wit. EG: "Look, just because my intellect and talent for reason can trump your primitive sense of humor, is no reason to belittle me. If I ever become CEO of a mega-oil industry I'm sure I will think of you at your meager job at the gas pump." or worse case senario I tell them to do very naughty things in Latin, which leaves the white trash at my school confuse. They never seen a smart chick before.

Riddle them with words! When I get frustrated enough that I can't think of anything that would blow their minds I just go "I refuse to have a battle of wits with someone that is unarmed." As to the frog fact its something I've always heard, but I decided to research it some and I found a good link! ^^ www.answers.com/topic/amphibians-and-humansThe third part down is where it starts talking about amphibians (in general) and the healthy properties they have, such as; "More than 200 psychoactive alkaloids have been extracted from the skin of frogs and toads........Skin secretions from the green treefrog (Litoria caerulea), called caeruletide, stimulate activity in the pancreas and intestine, and synthetic versions of it are commercially available for human use for these purposes." and "Frog skin secretions also can have powerful antimicrobial properties. The skin of African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) produces peptides called magainins that assist in the natural healing of cuts and bruises." Here's also a news article www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?ID=4254and another web site. publications.nigms.nih.gov/chemhealth/chapter5.htmlJust google it and you get a lot of links, but the first one is the one I liked the best becuase the answer is right there and easy to find unlike some other articles I found where it was in a obscure sction as it just talked about medicine in general.

^^you should not be in the closet for liking avatar! Come out of the closet ;d
Most of my friends like avatar, and are not afraid to say it. We usually just talk about it freely without worrying about anyone overhearing us. Who cares if you like avatar or not?

Well I'm still embarassed about liking Avatar but lately in Gym me an my other Avatard friend talk about it and in the middle of a free period we had a shipwar between Taang and Tokka! LOL! No one really makes funny of me for liking it though. I'm already hinging on the line from geek to normal. In my school I'm eccentric and some think I'm wiered, others think I'm pretty nice and have a good sense of humor. One girl in my class who I'm not that close to like best friends but I'm friends with her liked Avatar when it first came out and I'm not sure if she still likes it though.

No offense Kanasha, but I don't think you should use violence because I partly agree with Bard Child: violence just makes us look bad (and who knows, maybe he doesn't remember or know how to say it, so don't get mad, just correct him kindly...) ;D I know, but this guy has always picked on me . . .and he calls Aang aang somethimes too, so he does know his name.

earthtoph4: Sorry, but I am trapped in the closet of secrecy... I wish I had close friends who are as obsessed with Avatar as I am (I have a friend at my Saturday School who loves Avatar, but she is mean to me most of the time, but not because I like Avatar, for other reasons...) ;D

Well, I do have one friend (she's only in HR) at school, who likes Avatar, but in HR, we have to read *dies of boredom*, and I don't sit next to her! Also, I barely see her besides HR... *sighs* So far, my favorite story here, is the one when willbaker throws a rock at that guy's groin, but I wish he didn't have to go to the head teacher's office (but it was still funny and related to Avatar at the same time...) ;D willbaker, could you tell us more about what happened, like how you got in trouble and if the torcherer cried... details plz!

I get that stuff ALL THE TIME!! People challenge me to do "Avatar" moves or say they're the Avatar or a better airbender than me. But in my case, there are two ways I'm an airbender. 1)I chose to be an airbender from watching the show and learning the moves 2)I named a frisbee team "The Airbenders", they're in my gym class. Best part, I'm the caption of the team
So don't feel alone,that's one thing we all fans of Avatar have in common.
