Favorites:
11. Favorite color? Green.
12. Favorite sport? Do you like to watch or play? Because of my asthma, I'm more of a watcher than a player, but I like rugby and athletics.
13. Favorite flower? Why? I like oriental lilies, the colours are pretty.
14. Favorite animal? Why? Probably cats... I'm allergic to them, but they seem to like me, for reasons I can't fathom... =/
15. Three favorite foods? oh gosh.... chocolate, falafel, red kidney beans. I'm strange, yes. Vegetarians generally are. XD
16. Please describe your favorite pair of shoes and tell us why you like them. My green converse trainers. Firstly, green is my favourite colour. Secondly, converse trainers look awesome. Finally, they're the most comfortable shoes EVER. Yes yes yes.
Hana Yori Dango:
17. Favorite HYD Character and why? I like Shigeru. She's insane and so funny XD
18. Least Favorite HYD Character and why? Umi. She annoys the hell out of me and I want to shout at her every time she comes on screen and when I see her in the manga.
19. Which is your favorite version of Hana Yori Dango (Anime, Manga, J-drama, Taiwanese Drama)? Probably the J-drama, because it's so cute. Plus it has Jun and Shun and Toma in it. Which is three good reasons to watch it already.
20. Briefly, how did you discover Hana Yori Dango/Boys over Flowers? I was reading Jun Matsumoto's wikipedia entry and went off to read the manga on the basis of that. That was less than a week ago, and I've read the manga, watched the J-drama and am halfway through the anime. And I have a full time job. LMFAO.
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. Umi. Please GOD don't make me Umi. I really hate her. And Shigeru. Much as I love her, I get the feeling I'd be rated as her, and that would be too predictable.
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 think I'm a very boring person, but for some reason people seem to like me. Especially the elderly. They talk to me at bus stops a lot.... I think they see my work ID badge (I work for the National Health Service) and automatically assume I'm a nurse. Which I'm not. I'm also the most untidy person I know. I'm impatient, naive, I sleep a lot (I was anaemic for a long time), and I'm so miserable that one of the women I work with says I have a face like a slapped arse. Which is a *lovely* thing to say. Oh, and I love sarcasm. And hate the word 'nice'. My sister thinks I'm a freak, but I like the fact that I like comics and cartoons and have lots of figurines in my room. I have an English language and literature degree and I want to be a librarian, but I'm hoping to go teach English in Japan before that. I could keep going, but like I say, I'm boring. XD And you don't want to see a picture of me. I'm ugly as sin. People keep telling me I'm pretty but I'm not, so, no picture.
