It is hard to say, on the definition that Zelda put up then yes this is abuse. Of course the intent is one of love but it may also be people attempting to cure their own loneliness by hoarding animals and receiving their affection. It could have many causes but my guess is they don't realise they are abusing these animals even when they are rich and not spending it on the pets. I think they should be helped psychologically as there is probably something not right but the animals do deserve a loving home where they are taken care of but I think the person should also not be condemned for intentional abuse but instead helped.

Don't worry, you aren't alone. Phobias are quite common and some are easily treatable.

I do think that your sensitive hearing may have been a factor to start this as loud noises would have made you more jumpy causing a more horrible reaction then something with average hearing. It's natural to jump at loud noises as we probably evolved that way in order to aid survival (so we could get away from scary situations etc. and survive to pass on these traits to the next generation). Anyway, I'm guessing it came about from conditioning- you hear a loud noise, you jump, you dislike jumping ergo you start to fear anything that can cause it. Sadly, it won't get any better unless you confront it.

Your phobia is a specific phobia which means it's a lot easier to treat then something like agoraphobia (fear of open spaces causing people to remain house bound) and I hope your fear of loud noises doesn't develop into that. Anyway, knowing the cause will help with treatment as you really should battle the cause if you want it gone forever. There are various ways that can help but I think systematic desensitisation will probably be best which is what Patman posted:

• Learning some deep breathing techniques is a good way of relaxing yourself without the use of drugs and this will be useful when you feel anxious to calm yourself
• Produce a tiered list of fearful situations starting from something with a tiny fear factor and making your way up to unexpected loud noises. (So, it could be a friend clapping behind your head unexpectedly and when you feel anxious try the deep breathing to calm yourself until you feel better and then once you can handle that level of fear then go onto something a bit worse like a friend shouting or something)
• Keep going until you don't feel anxious or at all fearful around loud noises. Do any tier as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

This therapy works at deconditioning you but I do think going to see a doctor and asking if there is anything that can be done about your sensitive hearing could help but you may not need it. You can be free from this fear and I understand that it's definitely not an over reaction, I hate it when people don't take phobias seriously as they can be extremely detrimental and destroy mundane life and I really don't want this to happen to you.

I am no doctor and there may be other explanations, deeper explanations, to why you fear loud noises or it could simply be down to conditioning a fear into you. You'd probably have a better idea then me and I really hope this makes sense as my brain is in sleep mode but I hope it helps : )

So I just watched the first episode of this (Thanks ~Cat) and I enjoyed it. Too soon to tell what I think of the show as a whole as I'm not completely hooked on it like other shows after seeing the first episode but we'll see : D

I'm currently enjoying the concept and it actually freaked me out, I don't scare easily but the first scene was kind of scarring.

It makes me wonder how and what survival advantage that would provide, it's not like he's invisible, green skin would be better camouflage. Oh well, he's cool.

Unless the person offering you the opportunity wants to kill you in a private place.

U.S.S Gummiprise xD Brilliant.

Anyway, that is amazing! I love both Kingdom hearts and Star Trek so loving the crossover. Your anatomy drawing is good and I love the detail and shading you've done and you're right, it does work!

I don't really have anything bad to say about it except to keep it up. I was gonig to make a comment about the lens flare but the film uses a lot anyway so it reflects it well!

I just want to poke its head for some reason.

I love nutella, I used to buy a huge tub of it back from whatever foreign country I'd go to as my treat xD I only allow myself to have it on special occasions otherwise I'd eat it all very quickly.

Perhaps it's also to emphasise the great power of the keyblade, I mean, other characters also have weapons but they also could be used as a contrast to Sora's weapon as none of them are really as strong as Sora. If they are then they don't use them that much in game (like Cloud and Sephiroth). It could also just show that normal things can't do much damage, you need something more than just strength.

I mean, it could also just be a symbol of how he's grown since he uses the sword on destiny Islands, so it links the game back to that and although he has grown a lot in strength and power over the game he is still a boy whose childhood played an important role in his life as it brought him great friends.

When I first saw the trailer for it I expected a game based solely on Disney, one where you could play as the Disney characters. I remember getting the game guide and looking through the pictures and thinking "Who is that?" and pointing at Sora. I suppose I learned that there was more to the game then simply Disney as it had constant characters going through it but I wasn't expecting a complex universe created around the idea of the heart, that was a nice surprise.

Well, first things first, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH'S VOICE WAS LIKE A LULLABY! HE COULD HAVE JUST TALKED FOR 2 HOURS AND I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY.

Anyway, xD I thought it was a brilliant film. I know some trekkies may be annoyed at the reboot but I think it's a good thing, I like the redesign of things as they needed to be modernised for a new audience. Refurbishing it for another generation was nice and of course they still paid homage to the original series in various ways, plus they have Leonard Nimoy so yay! I suppose what I'm trying to say is these films might get new people to go and watch the old series (me included) so it shouldn't be a bad thing as things change and we should accept that.

Anway, I thought the story was brilliant and the acting was just amazing, they are starting to develop the relationship between Spock and Kirk really well and I thought it showed their effects on each other brilliantly. I do hope they do more as the special effects just make me fangasm, I just love the effect of the Enterprise going into warp drive along with the awe inspiring music, the combination makes me very happy. Of course, all the other special effects are brilliant and if they don't do another one then I will be angry simply because they've started something good and the ending did feel like it could continue so I hope it does.

Depression is more a feeling of intense demotivation and upset, that's how I see it. The pain just hangs over you and stops you feeling like doing anything at all which means you may literally spend days doing nothing or next to nothing which may worsen it as people think "I'm just useless" which isn't true as they just have to get up and do something (easier said then done). Depression is brought on by faulty cognitions and upsetting thoughts and can be very serious and a great hindrance on life but what you have is just a longing to be back in the old days. I love nostalgia, it's one of my favourite feelings which is why I hang on to so many things and why the things I love the most are things from years ago- for example, I don't think any Kingdom hearts game will ever surpass KH2 for me simply because that is the first one I played and has to nostalgia factor.

I too am leaving school which is depressing me quite a bit but I say it in a light term, I'm not actually depressed just upset that I have to leave all my friends. Of course, it's not the end, the people who really matter you'll stay in touch with and can always meet up while those people you won't miss will be out of your life and as you move onto another place be it work or further education or whatever, you'll find new people to befriend and who you can create such brilliant memories with again. It's a cycle and will keep turning, we shouldn't live in the past as we can't stop time from turning as much as I've tried xD so we must accept it and live for the present and save for the future. I've also grown very close to my teachers and will miss them immensely, some of them have facebook so I'll stay in touch with them but one of them doesn't and I've had him for 4 years so it'll be so weird not having him teach me english. I am just going to have to accept that and carry on with life though, I'm sure I'll get over it but right now it seems hard because I have had a crush on him for 3 and a half years xD I'll find other people though, and you will as well Amaury so don't despair.

It only annoys me when someone won't STOP apologising which is obviously them just trying to get me to forgive them but I would have done that the first time they say it so there is no need to repeat it 20 times. That's probably quite bad as they're just being kind but it irks me.

When people apologise for small things and do it all the time, it doesn't really bother me thinking about it. I find that it's probably something they feel they need to say or else will feel uncomfortable so I have no problem with that, if it makes them feel better then they can say it. If I do notice it then I'll normally quiz them on it but nothing more.

And this is why is saddens me when people moan about getting older >.<

I don't keep up to date with all the generations but I think the first generation is my favourite simply because that is the one I'm so used to and know so well, I have watched some recent Pokemon episodes and the new pokemon were fine, I had no problem with them but I just prefer the older ones for the nostalgia factor.

Fancy sending it to me? I also need a new computer >:3

Yeah, I am amazed at the detail of it! I wonder if "poot" pertains to some very vital clue to the ending or what...
