Favorite Fruits Basket chapter/s or episode/s and why: I never got around to watching much of the anime, but chapters 90-95 were my favorites. Like I say below, about my connection with Kyoko, that's what struck me hard. I reread those chapters so many times, feeling her immense pain, and I just couldn't help myself. They're the most emotional and touching chapters in all of Fruits Basket I think.
Favorite Fruits Basket character and why: Tohru's mother. Kyoko Honda. She was the character that I heavily related to, and she's a strong female role. Reading her breakdown brought myself to tears, something that doesn't happen often at all, because of how much I connected to her own words. How she did everything that I ever wanted to, but never could. It was uncanny how alike the two of us could be in a situation, and I mean... just trying to talk about it now strikes an emotional heart chord. Kyoko was just a character that struck me really hard, and left a lasting influence.

Describe your ideal first date in detail: ...I don't really have one. I'm not picky about dates at all, as long as I'm not around too many people for a long time. The only thing I really have an objection to that I can think of is a party. But otherwise... I really don't mind anything. I'd love to go somewhere involving nature though. Or someplace with a beautiful view.
Anything else? It might be a good thing for you to know I am THE ultimate control freak, and an utter dictator of situations. Also very OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) about many things, and I'm really difficult to deal with. So, like I said, I need someone extremely patient in order to deal properly with me. I'm really reluctant to let people truely in, and I naturally push them away, so it takes a whole lot of work. It's not to mention that I'm completely sensitive to any sort of little criticism that I get, but I love the truth, so they would have to break it to me in an optimistic and caring way.
