Favorite Manga: Rurouni Kenshin. Least Favorite Manga: Pokémon. Favorite Song: "To Zanarkand" from FFX. Why Escaflowne Cosplay?: I haven't seen a good Hitomi costume ever (minus the Japanese cosplayers at AX2k1 that went as the movie Hitomi). Favorite thing to scream: "MOERO!!!" ::gets psyched and grabs her Click 'n Torch lighter and begins running around flicking the trigger:: "MOERO!!!" Favorite weapon: My shinai (bamboo training sword). Either that or my Click 'n Torch lighter. If nothing's around, a broom will suffice. Favorite phrase: I like a lot. My favorites include: "Oro?" "I do believe you about Zanarkand, you know?" "Need to stab self in foot so great!" "Shanghai isn't nice this time of year, why don't you try hell?" "Bakarayo ga!" "Asobou ka?" and "MOERO!!!"

Favorite bishoujo/bishonen: It's a tie between Van from Tenkuu no Escaflowne and Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin.

I can't decide though, they're both great. ::hugs them both:: Favorite anime/manga couple: Kenshin and Kaoru. They weren't overly romantic. Their relationship was slow and developed during the manga.

What kind of a question is that?!? This is ME we're talking about. That's practically ALL I listen to! If so, what bands or artists?: Must I name them all? ::sighs:: DEEN, Two-Mix, Maaya Sakamoto, Megumi Hayashibara, L'arc~en~Ciel, X Japan, GLAY, a little Globe, Luna Sea, Morning Musume, Da Pump, B'z . . . I could go on and on . . . Do you want to go to the moon?: Sure. I think it'd be lovely this time of year. ::Saitou walks in:: "I know Shanghai isn't nice this time of year.

If not, what would you have liked to have seen done to her?: She should have fallen off of the side of the aircraft carrier in her debut episode! Do you think Shishio really could've won against Kenshin?: I definitely think he could've won. Shishio still had a lot of power left and Kenshin was pretty much out of strength at the end . . .

How many things can you do at one time?: I've never really counted. Hmm . . . 5? 6? All I know is that I do multiple things all the time. It's really commonplace for me. How many pillows do you have when you sleep?: Four. How many wall scrolls do you have?: Seven, but I have only enough space to hang two. -_-*!

How many manga do you have?: Geez, too many to count. More than forty or fifty now . . . How many other things anime related do you have?: If I named them all we'd be here all day. There's too much. I have a lot of stuff from different series. Some commonplace things and some things that are cool and can't be found here. How DID Hitomi's pager manage to operate on Gaea?: I wish I knew. Good heavens, the coverage on that thing! It's better than Burucha! How many Miaka's can you see before getting sick?: One. There were SO MANY walking around at AX!

What other rolls would you love to seiyuu for?: Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin (I think it'd be fun to play a male), Dilandau from Tenkuu no Escaflowne (he's just such a fun character), and either Mamimi or Haruko from FLCL. If Kenshin and Van fought, who'd win?: Are you kidding? Kenshin of course! I mean, Van lost to Allen AND Balgus . . . Van wouldn't stand a chance against Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu . . . If Balgus and Hiko fought, who'd win?: Ooo, good question . . . you've got an old guy who could fight off a Guymelef verses a guy who can beat a giant . . . whatever the heck Fuji was . . . I'd put my money on Hiko though, just because I saw his techniques and well . . . Balgus spent just about all of Escaflowne dead. If you had to spell the main pilot from Gundam Wing's name, how would you spell it?: H-I-R-O. Not H-E-E-R-O. Stupid dubs . . . If Envision had a mascot, what would it be?: Something that lagged horribly . . . something like maybe a sloth or a banana slug . . . yeah . . .

Who's costume from anime/manga would you love to have?: Sora's outfit from Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaia or Princess Zelda's from Ocarina of Time (game).

I can't wake up unless I listen to J-pop. I complain when it's cold (or rather, when I'm cold). I have to watch an anime series all the way through or it bugs me. I don't like breakfast much. Funny moments: When Envision went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant, the lady behind the counter thought Otaku in Training and I were brother and sister. ^.^ And the time when that unfinished Hansen's smoothy bottle exploded in my kitchen, almost hitting me with the cap that was propelled from it's top. Random words of advice: "Don't cosplay with the garage door open when it's cold and windy." "Always bring a jacket." "Hug your mecha." "Hug your bishonen/bishoujo and show them you care." ^.^.

You wish you had: Wings, mountains of anime, enough money so I wouldn't have to worry about when the next payday is . . . Is anyone or anything "out to get you?": The bugs have a plot to get me. I swear. June bugs follow me everywhere. They chased me everywhere a while ago. One even came inside my house and chased me around the kitchen. It's a conspiracy I tell you! Can you count?: I'd rather not answer that . . . ::blushes:: I can . . . not well . . . Hey, it's HUMAN to make mistakes once in a while . . . so I'm not mathematically inclined, big deal! What do you think of math?: I hate it! It can drop off the face of the earth for all I care! When will you practically need to know what the square root of three is? You won't! The anime/manga character you're most like is: I'm like a cross between Hitomi Kanzaki from Tenkuu no Escaflowne, Kamiya Kaoru from Ruroken, and Yuna from FFX. The anime/manga character you most resemble is: Kaoru from Kenshin (minus her ponytail) or Yuna from FFX. The anime character you sound like is: I sound kina like Yuna from FFX. But I can laugh like Dilandau. Clothes you often wear or enjoy wearing: Tank tops, sweatshirts with hoods, sandals . . . and my "I'm a Japanese pop star" shiny Morning-Musume-like silver jacket. One thing you would change about yourself is: The fact that I apologize too much. One person I'd like to meet in person is: Seki Tomozaku, Minami Takayama, or Shouji Kawamori. One person I did meet is: Yutaka Minowa. I took a picture with him (against the wishes of the AX2000 staff) and later got a sketch from him (arigato again Shorty!) Inside jokes: "Oh! Mistah Gee Kay," "Kimahri say, need to stab self in foot so great!" "NOOOOO! SANDORA," and "Rike a man! He rook rike a man!" Things you say too frequently but can't help: "I'm sorry!" "Gomen nasai!" "Suman" (other things that are apologetic). Bad habits: Cracking my knuckles and saying "I'm sorry." Are you a hard worker?: Well, I guess so. If you asked everyone else they'd reply with a resounding "YES!" I overwork myself for no reason. The most annoying anime character is: Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi. Or Mil-chan from Maze. The anime character you think has no purpose at all is: Mil-chan from Maze. So she could call on Dulegar . . . big deal. Weirdest anime you've seen: FLCL. I still have no clue what's going on . . . Funniest anime you've seen: Excel Saga. Man, that's hilarious! HA HA HA! Sadest anime you've seen: X: the Movie. Aw, it was so sad! I felt so bad for Kamui! ::hugs Kamui so hard he turns blue:: Happiest anime you've seen: Kodomo no Omocha. You just can't be depressed when you watch that series. Most pointless or boring anime you've seen: Maze Mega Burst Space. It had virtually no plot. -_-! Anime series you couldn't help but make fun of: Giant Robo! It was so old school. Something you do that bugs you: I apologize too much. Favorite seiyuu: Minami Takayama and Seki Tomozaku. Who is better? Tomoe or Kaoru?: Tomoe was cool but I liked Kaoru better. She's got more of a personality. Tomoe's more of a tragic character that wasn't around in the storyline very long. I like them both but I like Kaoru better. Can you cook? If so, what foods?: Yeah. I can cook curry, rice, chili, baked beans, eggs, cookies, fried chicken, fried ramen (arigato yo Shorty!), cakes, deserts, and sushi. But not pop-tarts. I end up burning them or the toaster when I try making those. Oh, and I can do things like make toast. Are you a gamer?: Sorta. I don't play enough to be one. But when I get into a game usually I am. You're standing on the second floor balcony looking out at the beautiful scenery and you're thinking: "Oh my goodness! Step back or you're going to fall! See the ground way down there? Do you want to slam into that at full force? No! Step back moron! Step back now!" Which would you rather do: turn into the opposite sex at night or when splashed with water?: Probably at night instead of the Ranma thing. You can hide at night but you really aren't sure when you're going to come into contact with water. Which of the following would you
rather be: a samurai with god-like moves, a mecha pilot, or someone with
angel wings?: How about all of the above? ^.^!
