General information:
1. Name/Nickname Amy / Hisoki
2. Age Too old. But seriously, 25.
3. Likes Lots of stuff! I love thrift shopping cos there's something damned splendid about finding a load of books and other things and spending only $5 on the whole lot. xD I love reading, anything from classics to trashy vampire romances. I'm also a big anime/manga fan, particularly of drama-filled series. I lovelovelove anything mint-chocolate flavoured, though I'm starting to loose my sweet tooth due to not eating much sugar as of late.
4. Dislikes Creepy crawlies of any kind. I am such a girl. I hate spiders and bees, particularly. And caves. And I'm a mightbit claustrophobic, so there you go. I also hate discourteous drivers who like to cut people off without signaling or even waiting for an opening. And drama whores. I work with several and I just want to punch them in the face. :\
5. Strong points I stand up for what I believe in. I'm a hard worker. I'm more than a bit stubborn, but still easily worn down depending on the issue/person in question.
6. Weak points I'm emotional as all get out. Doesn't mean I cry at the drop of a hat, but I am definitely controlled by my heart rather than my mind. That's caused more than a few regrets. I also tend to shy away from conflict until I explode from holding it all in. Wheefun.
7. Hobbies/Talents I knit! I also play the saxophone. I love crafty-type things... anything from making jewelry to knitting and crocheting to scrapbooking and the like. Anything where I can create something with my hands makes me happy. And I make a damned tasty key lime pie as well.
8. Optimistic or Pessimistic? I see the glass as three-quarters full. I'm not really either or. It's more of a question of whether I can see a positive or if I'm dwelling on the negatives. It depends on my mood...
9. Leader or Follower? The bitchy follower. I'm not a good leader, I'll be honest. But I'm not content to follow everywhere I go either.
10. Please describe your personality in three words. Emotional. Receptive. Creative.
Favorites:
11. Favorite color? Blue and green. I love that obnoxious pea-green shade that you see so many places.
12. Favorite sport? Do you like to watch or play? I'm not much of a sport-person. I'm allergic. But I don't mind basketball and volleyball. Just not in excess.
13. Favorite flower? Why? I love orchids. There's a little stand in our mall that sells them and I just love how beautiful they are... the strong stalks and the delicate petals. Just... gorgeous.
14. Favorite animal? Why? Cats! Because they rule the world. ^.~
15. Three favorite foods? Spaghetti. Japanese Curry. And.. ummm.... tuna steaks. Mmmm.... I could live on those three foods. And throw some steamed veggies in there as well and I'm a happy camper.
16. Please describe your favorite pair of shoes and tell us why you like them. It's a pair I don't wear very often, to be honest, because they hurt my feet and don't go with a lot of what I wear. But they're a tan suede chunky shoe with a three-inch heel that zips up the side just to the ankle. They're damned sexy and I feel powerful in them. But I'm a creature of comfort, so I live in my oxfords because I never have to worry about tripping on the heel and breaking something. xD
Hana Yori Dango:
17. Favorite HYD Character and why? Okay... as a note, I've only read a tinytinytiny bit of the manga and am currently watching the second season of the J-drama, so this is based mostly on the J-drama characters. But... my favourite character would have to be a toss-up between Akira and Rui. Akira's the peacemaker and I often feel like that in my life, so I can relate a bit to that.... but Rui just calls out to me. I wish he was more developed... but I love his soft image... soft-spoken... he seems an artist at heart to me, and I just adore that. Even though I don't know if he quite understands himself all that well... I still love him.
18. Least Favorite HYD Character and why? Any of that three that go after Tsukasa so much. I hate fake girlygirls like that. They piss me off. :\
19. Which is your favorite version of Hana Yori Dango (Anime, Manga, J-drama, Taiwanese Drama)? Well I've read a bit of the manga. Seen a handful of episodes of the anime at a convention.... and am in love with the J-dramas.. so I'd have to say the J-dramas. I love the actors, and that was the biggest calling for me.
20. Briefly, how did you discover Hana Yori Dango/Boys over Flowers? I had watched Gokusen and Kimi wa Petto with MatsuJun and was investigating other things he was in and stumbled on HYD. So there you go.
Finally:
21. Is there a character you don't want to be rated as? You may list up to two characters you would like voters to avoid when rating you. Someone who's not in the J-drama? I hate to keep re-iterating that... but I'd feel pretty damned stupid if I got rated as a character I knew nothing about. ^^;
22. Briefly, if there is anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself please include it here. You can describe what you look like (or post a picture) if you'd like. Mmm.. I don't think so! As for a picture... just check out my icon. 'tis me in all my manga-glory. xD
