PERSONALITY...
005) Strengths- I'm incredibly, ridiculously good at writing. Writing is my passion and my art, it's what I'm best at and I am good at it.
I'm also a jack of all trades - I'm good at a lot of little things, too.
I'm usually fairly open and honest - I'll tell you what I think if you ask me straight up. Once you've gotten through my shell, I'm a great friend.
006) Weakness- I hole myself up inside a shell and have trouble opening up to people. I just don't get them, really...
I'm also veryyyy arrogant, and can be a little too blunt at times.
007) Likes- Good stories; warm weather; sunshine; long walks in the middle of the night; runs to the conbini at 2:00 am; long talks about nothing and everything; intelligent conversation
008) Dislikes- Japan (really. I lived there for four months. It sucked. ._.; I don't want to talk about it); shallowness; ignorance; belligerence.
009) Hobbies- Writing, roleplaying (dear lord, I'm a total addict), vidjgaems, reading, art, philosophy
010) Annoyance- being told when to go to bed and when to get up; being pushed into things; modern society and having to keep track of my finances. I want to be a free spirit, not to be shoved around by what society (or my mom >>;;) wants me to do
011) Favorite School Subject(s)- English, studio art, philosophy, psychology, East Asian Studies, Religious Studies (esp buddhism and obscure esoteric relgions), mythology... ... I actually really like school, like a total nerd >>;
I even used to LOVE math. I was going to be a mathematics minor, and I used to wax poetic on the pure and simple beauty of numbers; but sadly Linear Algebra this year almost killed me :( and made me actually start to hate math. So no longer. I'll still make the occasional terrible math pun though.
012) Dream and goal- I want to be a writer. I don't care WHAT I write... well, travel writing would be really cool, traveling the world and writing about my crazy misadventures. But anything's good.
FASHION IS A WAR...
013) What's your favorite brand (game or real life)? IRL, I don't give a damn. I make up my own style as I go along and the rest of the world and its tastes can fuck itself.
In game? Gaitio and Jupiter of The Monkey. Gaitio for the designs on the pins and the awesome clothes, JotM for the functionality of their pins.
014) What is your typical style? I tend to fluctuate between what I call Nomura Chic (too many pockets + zippers + kickass trench) and a very weird relaxed hippie style, with pants made of sarongs that tie up and flowy shirts. Whatever I'm wearing though, it's always my own style.
015) What outfit are you not brave enough to wear? Really revealing clothes. I don't even usually wear shorts, let alone freakin bikinis. I will wear skin-tight clothes though XD
... I'm well brave enough to cross-dress though :D
016) Is there a certain piece of accessory that you constantly wear or carry? I tend to always wear unusual hats, particularly this one cowboy hat / fedora thing. People sometimes make fun of me for it but it's my favourit damn hat. Keeps the sun and rain off my face, makes me look like Indiana Jones. Hell yes.
I also have a bright blue hat and a sort of newsboy hat.
In addition to hats, jackets and coats. I always have something on over my shirt. In the winter it's a long black wool coat; summertime tends to be either a light shirt to keep the sun off my shoulders. If it's windy or rainy, a leather jacket... or again, long black coat.
017) Let's dress Neku up in a--! Pi-face's clothes. :o OR A KILT AND BAGPIPES.
SHOP AT THE AMX...
018) How do you listen to your music? Either on my modded DS lite using my R4 card or on my computer. I can't afford an iPod or other portable device, much as I'd like to.
019) What are you listening to at this moment? Waiting for the Sun by Sixpence None the Richer. When I started this post, it was Signal to Noise by Peter Gabriel.
020) If you had a background theme, what would it be? Nara, by E.S. Posthumus
just ignore the shitty AMV this is attached to, I just searched Youtube if you want to listen.
THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD...
021) What kind of food would you constantly munch on? I tend to eat stuff like granola bars. Or blue potato chips if we have 'em. And honey.
022) What is your favorite restaurant to eat at? Uhhh... damn, I like an awful lot of food :\ it really really varies. Sometimes I'm in the mood for Middle Eastern and I'll go to the Lebanese Taverna; sometimes I want Indian; sometimes I want just 'merican food. Sometimes I need cheapo food! Favourite, though... ... I can't decide!
023) Any drink you prefer to go down with your meal? TEA. I am a complete tea ADDICT and SNOB.
DEATH...
024) What does friendship mean to you? It's a depth. You have to have this connection with someone. True friendship is more than just hanging out and taking people out for stuff (though that's part of it); it's this deep understanding that no matter what happens you've always got the other guy's back, and they've got yours.
025) In exchange for a chance at life, what would be your fee or most precious thing to give up? My ability to write, and probably even my ability to communicate. I value that more than all else.
Oddly, I lost that when I went to Japan, and that's how I learned it was something I valued so deeply... not being able to communicate like that made me realize just how much I prided myself on that ability.
026) If faced with the decision between harming your friends or letting harm come to yourself, what would you do? Take the bullet, prolly, unless it would result in my death, in which case I'd probably freak out and freeze.
027) Someone has just forced a pact with you and they're your complete opposite! Well fucking shit. We have to get out of this though, so let's make the best of it. jerk
028) Get Ready! Time to fight! What's your style (full force, weapon, tactical...)? Sneak sneak run away tactics yo. Opposite of what I do in game XD (which is SMASH) But yeah, I'm very much a sneaky bastard who takes advantage of every possible angle. I also try to know when to run from a fight.
029) If there was a place you'd meet your friends, family, or associates where would you pick? Hmm, down in Washington DC (which is close to where I live), either in the metro station or outside one of the museums... maybe by one of the fountains.
Actually, we often meet right outside the United States Navy Memorial, 'cause my friend used to work there and it's convenient. Right near a train station and food.
ON A TIME LIMIT...
030) Betrayal or Sacrifice? Er, what do you mean by this question? What kind of choice is that? I won't betray someone who's close to me... but I wouldn't sacrifice 'em, either.
If a betrayal means that they stay alive, I can come back and try to make amends later...? I hope...
031) Teach or Learn? Learn baby. I want to know it all. And er, I'm not a very good teacher.
032) Easy to Trust or Suspect? I'm pretty suspicious of people in general at first, though I put on a façade of open-ness. I try to be open and friendly on the outside, but my inner depths are all but inaccessible.
033) The world is polluted or worth living in? Both. It's a wonderful world; and it's what we make it. We're the ones who have to clean it up, polish it and make it beautiful. That's our task and our place. So let's get to work~
TWISTER...
034) Is graffiti art? 'course it is. It's the only thing that makes metro rides bearable
'cept when it's profanity or other stupid shit, just people defacing things. But when there's heart in it, there's art in it.
035) What design is on your favorite Badge/Pin? Design...? Shiva~ she's so cute on that badge XD
036) Would you play in a Tin Pin Slammer competition? Possibly for the lulz~
037) Which character would you love to hang out with? either Kariya or Hanekoma. I like the laid-back types. I'd also love to chat Hanekoma up about philosophy, but it'd probably end up an exercise in frustration. *laughs* I'd like to take Rhyme out to get an ice cream and a hug too, she deserves it.
... I also would like to chill with Neku if I could get past HIS shell. He really isn't so bad, once you get to know him.
038) Which character would you hate to be in a pact with? ooof, I dunno. The more I think on it, the more I come up with reasons I could work with a pact >>; Yodai, probably. Goddamn food puns would squick me after a while.
039) Is it really a Wonderful World or does it End With You? It's a wonderful world - it ends, and begins, with you.
