Name: Cassandra
Give us the anecdote behind your username: It's a hand-me-down, a remnant of the days when livejournal still required the use of codes (that was a sad day when they got rid of them, really) and reflects my friend (who labels herself as an "otaku") and her neverending love of foxes. H--hikari= her nickname. Kitsune=fox.
Age / date of birth: Sixteen in five days, March 26, 1988.
Residence: Midland, Texas.
Will you delete this application if you don't like what we say? Of course not. I'll just leave the community. You guys need to be reminded of how horrible/wonderful/lucky you are.

-The Ishbane Conspiracy by Randy Alcorn--(this is a strange book, because even though I don't believe in God and I don't even classify myself as a Christian anymore (a remnant from my Christian days) I found this book well-written despite not agreeing with its views.
Food: I do enjoy a good meatball sub every once in a while. And steak. And spaghetti. And sugar-filled things. I can't name one favorite food. Can I say food is my favorite? <3
Hangout(s): The theatre. The mall is boring because there are like, 20 stores; there isn't really any place in town for someone to go except for their extracurricular activities.

Pirates or ninjas? Ninjas, definitely. Pirates are way too obvious and they don't get to use Chinese stars.
Black or white? Neither. In reality, both colors in their pure forms would probably cause a black hole. Or a great loss of eyesight. Impossibilities in color are strange. If I had to pick? Black. Because it looks good on almost everyone.
Fork or spoon? Definitely a spoon. If you want to grind someone's eye out, the most painful way would be with a spoon--a fork would be too quick and wouldn't cover as much area.

Can you cook? I can make microwavable foods, but that doesn't count because all that says is that I can follow directions and read.
Who was your childhood hero? Why? My second-grade teacher was my hero for the longest time--he didn't try to make me into something I wasn't, supported me because I was the new kid (I've been the new kid a ton of times, and he's the only teacher I can remember who didn't single me out because of it). Plus, he was intellegent (he had majored in math when he was in college) and that was what I wanted to be like when I grew up.
Which is your favourite button on your stereo? The only buttons on my CD-stereo thing right now are: play, skip back, skip foreward, stop, radio, tape, and volume. I guess I like the volume button--my parents argue a lot and I don't like to hear them over my music.
If I told you the answer was 'orange juice', what would the question be? Besides fourty-two, what is the answer to all of life's questions?
Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the farmer forgot to fix the fence?
What never fails to make you laugh? Storytime! Yesterday, my director gave the cast members their notes, and one of his questions was, "Hey, guys, in the 'sharp objects' scene, why in the world is Hudson carrying a cane?"
What one thing could I do which would annoy you to no end? Spit on the ground right next to my shoe or (assuming you're male) threaten to show me how big your penis is.
Most embarassing thing which happened to you at a restaurant? This happened yesterday, actually. Ah, humility. I was eating my steak and I place my knife in the wrong position--it's facing the inside of the plate, right in front of my chest. I forget it's there, and I accidentally hit it. It goes flying up and splashes steak sauce all over my shirt.
What one thing are you completely hopeless at? I can't keep my mouth shut, which in Conservative Land, is not the best thing to do. They eat you alive if you're a liberal or anything resembling one.
Write a haiku about yourself:
Lying on the floor

Would you call yourself popular? Why? I think in a parallel universe I would be insanely popular. Here, I'm well liked by the theatre-kids, the queers, but hated by the ROTC kids and most of the "popular" students (the kind who play sports and somehow manage to look perfect every day of their lives.)
What's the most important element in any relationship? Communication. My parents argue all the time because they don't know how to talk. I've dumped more people and been dumped because of a lack of communication. My current relationship is going well because she and I both know how to talk to each other.

Fascism vs Democracy: Both could work--do I favor one over the other? Most certainly. I like the idea of democracy and the idea of Fascism is something I fear. It's hard to keep Fascism and Communism straight, though I think that for both to work a great deal of brainwashing would have to be done. Democracy works a little better because everyone wants a say in their life.
Human cloning: I think it'd be kind of creepy to see another me walking around on the street, really. Partial human cloning would be beneficial, though. Stem cell research has the potential to save lives.
File-sharing: It's kind of like telling people to not have sex--it's going to happen whether or not there are laws against it.
Transsexuals: Do I think it's gross? Absolutely not. People have problems with what they don't understand. People don't understand what they have not been through. Transsexuals are nice people--just like everyone else in the world.
Abortion: I don't think I could do it--not for religious reasons or because I would be "saving a life" but because I don't see a reason why the kid can't just be given birth. The mother, and not the father whatsoever because it's not his body, is the only one who should have a say in what happens to the fetus.

MWAHAHA. Avec et sans mes bouccles d'oreille.
