If your life had a theme song or BGM, what would it be?: I'd like to think that it would be Duvet, from BOA. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you pick?: France. Yeah, it's not Japan, but hey, I like the countryside. If you could have a different hair color, what color would you choose?: Blue, I think. It's just so unnatural that it would stand out.

If it is, then that's it. Anime seen
(not complete list): Eva, SMJ/R, Slayers/Next/Try, Ranma 1/2,
Pepsi or Coke?: Coke all the way, mostly because of the red can.

Things from anime that come in handy: I don't have anything that comes from anime! ::sob:: Things from
anime you wished you had: Ooh, lots of stuff. A sakaba
sword, a set of robotic women like the ones that Otaru had in SMJ or Nuku-Nuku,

Sport of choice: Judo, though I'm not very good at it. Can you sleep sitting up?: No. I tried once. Wrecked up my back. I can sleep with my eyes open, though, which is really weird when you consider that I talk in my sleep. Who's costume from anime/manga would you love to have?: D's, from Vampire Hunter D. That guy was cool! Would you rather sleep on a futon or on a regular bed?: A futon. Takes up less space, and I can sleep most anywhere. Powers you wish you had: to be able to fly, to be able to pilot a mech, to be able to use a sword like Kenshin, and to be able to attract women like the bishonen. Weird quirks: I find myself being a jerk sometimes, even though I don't mean to do so. Funny moments: When I started washing my hands in starch instead of water. Random words of advice: No matter how tempting, never hug your toaster. You wish you had: a life-size mech that I could pilot. Is anyone or anything "out to get you?": I'm pretty sure that my back is. It's always trying to kill me. Can you count?: Yep, all the way up to ten, I think. What do you think of math?: I love it. It's my favorite subject, I think. The anime/manga character you're most like is: Probably the worrysome one of the three roommates who live next to Excel in Excel Saga. I forget his name . . .

character you sound like is: I haven't the slightest clue,

Are you a hard worker?: Lol, no, not really. The most annoying anime character is: Miaka is pretty annoying, but I also hate Asuka. The anime character you think has no purpose at all is: Kuroneko-sama, from Trigun. Still, it's awfully cute!!! Weirdest anime you've seen: Houshin Engi, by far. O.o Funniest anime you've seen: Golden Boy. Oh my god, I couldn't stop laughing. Sadest anime you've seen: Call me mushy, but the end of SMJ was pretty sad to me. Happiest anime you've seen: Do-Re-Mi. Yeah, I sat through an episode. Most pointless or boring anime you've seen: Tokegami, or something like that. That was pretty damn bad. Anime series you couldn't help but make fun of: GIANT ROBO!!! Something you do that bugs you: I piss people off sometimes. Favorite seiyuu: . . . I'll give you a hint: her initials are Hayashibara Megumi. Any idea of who it is? Who is better? Tomoe or Kaoru?: Haven't seen Tomoe, so I'll go with Kaoru. Can you cook? If so, what foods?: Depends what you mean by cook. I'll leave it at that . . . Are you a gamer?: Depends. For video games, no. For dice-and-book games, yes, for life.

water?: Water. I can at least control that. That
would be
Which of the following would you rather be: a samurai with god-like moves, a mecha pilot, or someone with angel wings? With angel wings, I'd be shot by hunters. As a mecha pilot, I'd need to have a mech, with I don't. So, through the process of elimination, I'd be a samurai with god-like moves. |
