Favorites:
11. Favorite color? Black
12. Favorite sport? Do you like to watch or play? I used to love to play lacrosse, but now I'm content to just watch football.
13. Favorite flower? Why? Peony. They're beautiful and multi-faceted, and they smell incredible.
14. Favorite animal? Why? Dogs. They are unwaveringly loyal and love unconditionally. They also miss you as though you've been gone for eons even if you've just stepped out to get the paper.
15. Three favorite foods? Chicken katsu, spinach and sausage pizza, nova.
16. Please describe your favorite pair of shoes and tell us why you like them. My black leather boots. They're very visual kei and they have a great lug sole so I can wear them in bad weather. They also zip up on the side, which is very key, of course. They're actually comfortable, too, but that is wholly unexpected.
Hana Yori Dango:
17. Favorite HYD Character and why? Hanazawa Rui, because he was always so calm and composed, and brilliant, and patient... and... ahem, yes.
18. Least Favorite HYD Character and why? Tsukasa's mother. What a bitch.
19. Which is your favorite version of Hana Yori Dango (Anime, Manga, J-drama, Taiwanese Drama)? Jdrama.
20. Briefly, how did you discover Hana Yori Dango/Boys over Flowers? I was vaguely familiar with the manga, and I watched the Jdrama on a recommendation. The story is riveting, really... so I've started reading the manga as well.
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. As much as I would like to, I won't give any names. If I am that adverse to the votes when they arrive, I suppose I can always say something... but I would like the votes to be as accurate as possible.
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. I'm not sure what else there is to say, this survey seems to cover most things. But as for a picture, here you go. It's not very good, but it's all I have.
Thank you very much!
