7 questions meme

[lucathia]

Comment to this post (stating that you want to do the meme), and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.
(I will be very bad at questions!)

Here are my answers to questions from alexdonnelly, sac527, turkeyimposter, and absolutehymn007. :)

questions from alexdonnelly
1. You've gotten your letter from Hogwarts! Which house do you get sorted into? Is it the one you wanted?
I would be sorted into Ravenclaw. I like to learn, and I like to succeed. I also love to create, though I tend to be more of a consumer than a producer of creative attempts. Considering how I was back in school (always needing to get good scores on tests, having nightmares about not turning in schoolwork on time), I'd say I'm thoroughly Ravenclaw... though I'm sadly very book smart and not street smart. I dislike appearing dumb, so when I'm not very sure about something, I tend not to speak up... which is a lot of the time, since there's a lot I don't know.

I think I would enjoy being in Ravenclaw, though I would also be pressured with needing to keep up with everyone academically, as I don't like falling behind. While Ravenclaw would help me academically, it's perhaps not the best for me as I'm already antisocial enough. Put me in Ravenclaw, and I'd probably shut myself away, much rather preferring to shut myself away to read a book than mingling with other people.

Hm, perhaps the Sorting Hat might actually put me elsewhere?

2. It's happened, Hiyoshi vs. Kirihara. Who wins? (Don't worry, they can't hear you.)
Kirihara. Sorry Hiyoshi! But my impression is that overall, Kirihara's stronger than Hiyoshi, though Hiyoshi's technique is better. If it's a match between who overthrows their sempai first, my vote also goes to Kirihara since he's been very specific with his challenging of his sempai (always targetting the three demons of Rikkai) while Hiyoshi's gekokujou seems broader to me, with a larger scope that isn't so easily measured. (But well, after watching episode 4 of Shinpuri, perhaps Hiyoshi's goal is not so far off). If it's about who can lead next year's team better, my vote goes to Hiyoshi for that! Even though they're both second years, Kirihara is the only second year on his team that's part of the regulars, so he's treated like the baby of Rikkai... I don't see him in a leadership position very well right off the bat. Hiyoshi, on the other hand, isn't the only second year, and he feels a lot more mature and authoritative to me than Kirihara.

3. You and Yagyuu are going golfing! Who - living or not, real or not - completes your foursome?
If it's just characters from Tenipuri, I'd choose Kirihara and Niou as the remaining members. :3 Going golfing with the three of them sounds like it'd be quite something. Probably Kirihara would be complaining most of the time.

I would be terrible at golf. The only golf I've ever touched is mini golf. =P

Outside of Tenipuri, I also wouldn't mind characters from Dan Doh coming to play too. I imagine their golf would be fascinating to watch!

4. What is your original fandom? Are you still in it?
My original fandom (as a lurker) would be Yu Yu Hakusho. I subscribed to a lot of YYH mailing lists and read a ton of YYH fic back then. I searched for fanwork for YYH from Chinese websites as well when English fanwork wasn't enough and remember liking Kurama even more because of a certain artist's depiction of him. I'm sort of still in the fandom, as I still buy YYH merchandise and I still read YYH fanfic, but I don't have very many people to chat about the series with. I'm also not very in touch with members of the fandom.

Around the same time, I was also in Rurouni Kenshin fandom. This I wrote fic for, which helped me start interacting with people online instead of always lurking without saying a single word. I don't consider myself still in the fandom, but toss a good fic my way and I'd devour it right up. New RK material? I'd definitely check it out. I'm very curious about that live action movie... and that new project... I'm also still very much a fan of Seta Soujirou.

5. Do you have any pets?
I have a pet turtle. A red-eared slider. :3 Had her for more than 12 years now! She used to be so tiny, way smaller than the diameter of a cup. Think, the size of a poke walker. (It was illegal for such small turtles to be sold... but we bought two). One of the turtles disappeared around the 5th year. ): I suspect a bird snatched her away, as we had the turtles outside in a pond, with a very thin net that was knocked askew.

The turtle is now quite huge, though still smaller than most land turtles. Maybe, eight inches or so long? She doesn't have a name and is just called "Turtle" in Chinese by my family. A friend likes to call her Bowser, haha.

I also have a lot of goldfish outside in the pond. Used to have koi as well, but they all died, some from raccoon attacks, some because of the water...

6. You have one song on repeat for an entire year. What is it?
At the moment, Ohayou from Hunter x Hunter. It's bright and makes me feel optimistic. It makes me want to go out and do things!

After the new Hunter x Hunter anime started, I began to feel very nostalgic for Hunter x Hunter music from the previous series. Ohayou is still such a beautiful song. :) I actually did have it on repeat the other day.

7. If you could live anywhere in the world without any restrictions, where would it be?
I like my current place too much to move. The weather's perfect. Anywhere else, I would be saddened by how much it rains or snow, or how hot it can get, or how windy it can be... my place has very mild weather. I also don't like uprooting. XD;

Non-permanently, I'd love to live in Japan or Taiwan. I find Japanese culture fascinating, and if I were living there, I'd attend a ton of shows (especially Tenimyu) and a ton of animanga related events. I'd probably spend a lot of my time standing around, reading manga in Book Off...

As for Taiwan, it's been too long since I've last visited. I have a lot of relatives who live in Taiwan, except I haven't ever talked with the majority of them. I miss visiting. Things must have changed a lot in 12 years. Also, if I were in Taiwan, I'd so get myself to Yu Wo's autograph sessions.

Both Japan and Taiwan aren't spacious enough for me though. :3 I want a bigger house.. a house big enough to fit all my junk... I want a tennis court in my backyard... a room with bookshelves lining the walls... a ping pong table in my living room... XD;;


questions from sac527
1. What is your favorite Cirque du Soleil act, and would you want their costume?
Hmmm, there isn't a specific act that's my favorite, though some are more memorable than others. My favorite Cirque du Soleil show though, is KA, which is performed at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It tells the tale of two royal twins who have to escape and reconquer their empire. It is such an epic tale and the stage is so dynamic and impressive. I so want to watch this show again. The story reminds me of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Most Cirque du Soleil shows have themes and acts inspired by a specific theme. KA is a bit different in that there's more of a linear plot behind the acts. I seem to like this kind of storytelling more.

As for specific acts, I tend to like acts where there's synchronization between a group of performers, such as when a group of females balanced on unicycles and tossed bowls onto their heads in sync in Totem.

While costumes tend to be gorgeous, they would be pretty useless to me. XD; And some of them are quite strange... I find the masks really beautiful though. :3

2. A pigeon is on your window with a letter. The ink is smudged and most of it is unreadable. You can, however, decipher that the sender is Ichigo Love. How does your reply letter read?
Oh dear, I think I would be too excited to reply. I'd be tempted to be flowery with my speech because I feel like I would need to be kind of over the top to hold a correspondence with Ichigo Love. XD; but that's because I already know who he is.

I can't do flowery speech though, haha. My letter would be fairly straightfoward. This is if I were part of Oresama Teacher. XD;;

If this actually happened to me though in RL, I'd be going, KLAJDF;AKJFD what the heck is this??? I would be paranoid if a pigeon came to my window with a letter. I would most likely not reply. XD;

3. Welcome… to Jurassic Park. What would you like to do first?
Run away. I would never go to Jurassic Park. =P I've heard that my parents have gone to an open zoo before where they drive their cars in and the animals are just roaming about. Some of them even jumped on their car. I was going "OMG JURASSIC PARK???" when I heard the story. I would so get out of there right away.

4. Your best friend hands you an envelope and says, "You'll know when to open it," before you lose all contact with them. WHEN DO YOU OPEN IT?
...hm, I don't have much self-restraint, so I would open it almost immediately, feeling that more knowledge would help me make decisions in how to approach things. Not knowing everything means I wouldn't be seeing all of the picture. My decision would change depending on the situation though... like the tone my friend used, how we lost contact, and such.

5. What is the most delicious thing you've ever eaten?
Hard to say. I'm not big on eating. Eating is so time-consuming... XD; Whenever I eat out and people ask me my preference, I always rattle off what I prefer not to eat (mainly spicy food, food that's too oily, food that's too strong...) and rarely manage to come up with something that I prefer to eat.

My tastes are fairly mild. I find most food too salty. I love sweets but try not to eat too much of them. Chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes are my favorites, though I wouldn't say they're the most delicious things I've ever eaten... XD;

6. You just arranged Akaya and Piyo's date! What do you have planned for them?
I think they would have fun at an amusement park where Hiyoshi and Akaya can goof around in a haunted house, and then they can battle it out in the arcade. I would then organize a tennis match for them at the street tennis courts in the evening. :3

Oh wait, they need to eat at some point in the day. How about a yakiniku restaurant?

7. If you could say one thing to any tenipuri boy, who do you pick and what do you say?
I'm tempted to say "wakame" in front of Kirihara, though that's not a smart thing to do. XD I don't have a pressing need to say anything to anyone, but I would have fun teasing people... except I would be too shy to do it.


questions from turkeyimposter
1. Who out of the RK-4 would you pick to walk through a really dodgy area of town with you, late at night? With the knowledge that you'll probably look like you're on a date with them 8| sorry regis
Any of them would be great choices since they're all strong and would be able to protect me. :3 If I had to choose, then I'd say M-21 (because he's my favorite character), though I think I would be more comfortable with Regis or Tao. I feel M-21 would look more imposing and keep people away, while Regis might end up attracting dodgy people... Tao, I would be able to have a fun conversation with. I'm not a great conversationalist, but Tao can do all the talking for me, haha, like what he does for the rest of RK-4. We would so not get bored, and Tao is awesome enough to keep watch while chattering away. (Takeo and I would just fall into silence).

Hmmmmm, okay, I think I would actually prefer to be walking with Tao.

2. What's your dream piece of fish-bone itemage?
A fishbone curtain! Or a quilt. :3 I already have all sorts of strange things, like a fishbone windchime, fishbone soap, fishbone potholder... I saw a fishbone comb the other day... I really want that. XD; Oh, and fishbone antennae for the TV... I should start using my fishbone flashlight... XDD

Yeah, all sorts of strange things. I feel I need more shirts with fishbone patterns on them. ;)

3. If you drew a webcomic/manga/manhwa/etc, what would be the plot?
Hmmm, one idea I have is having an exchange student program going on between schools, except it's between schools of different time periods. Like, a school from the future and a school from the past exchange two students! These students start off learning about the future/past, with some sort of system that makes it so that they can't alter history too much, but of course things go wrong. XD;

...this was actually a dream I had one night. I so wanted that dream to continue so I could see the plot play out... I'm more creative when I'm asleep... -___-;;

4. What's your favourite type of tree?
I have no idea. I barely know any tree names! But I do like the look of willow trees.

5. Dream occupation?
Something I can do at home. :3;;

6. If someone was getting into manga reading for the first time, what manga series would you recommend they read?
Hmmmm, it depends on the person and what kind of genre I think they would like. My likes also lean towards the obscure... I don't feel there's any one series that can appeal to everyone.

But in general, I would try to recommend something for a wider audience. Detective Conan is a good one. Even my parents enjoy it, and I know some young kids who like it too (and were drawing Kaitou Kid, you know, that grinning face of his on their homework). Hikaru no Go is also a great one, and the character development in it is wonderful. For people who don't think manga can be very deep, this is a good series to get into.

7. Favourite book?
At the moment, Legend of the Sun Knight by Yu Wo, though that's a series of light novels. Favorite out of the series is... I'm not sure which volume actually. I do like volume 4 a lot. :3 First two volumes kind of set the foundation, and things start happening in volume 3. End of volume 3 and volume 4 is when heavier consequences start hitting.

questions from absolutehymn007
1) When did you get into fishbones?
When my aunt gave me a fishbone necklace in high school... around 2000 or so? ;) My friends all thought it was cute, and then one friend gifted me a fishbone keychain, and relatives started buying me fishbone stuff too... it just kept going. XD; I used to like to collect stickers, but now I only collect manga and fishbone items. I like to collect stuff. XD; /hoarder

My brother and I also both designed original characters. Mine was "Lucathia" who is feline-influenced, so I thought fishbones were quite fitting as a symbol.

2) If you were a unit in Fire Emblem, what would you be and why?
I would be a mage! Totally a mage! I've always wanted to be a magic user, to be able to command magic. I am better suited for attacking from afar than directly engaging the enemy. Mages are my favorite units in Fire Emblem. I guess I play my armies much like how I would fight myself. If I can keep my units away in a safe distance, I do that.

My second choice would be archers. Again, attacking from a distance... XD

3) You have an elemental power - what is it and what would you like to do with it?
Earth. I would like to be able to command plants. This is so heavily influenced by Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho.

4) Your favorite thing about where you live
My city's not huge, but it's not tiny either. I find this convenient. :) It's a perfect balance, though I wish we had better public transportation...

5) Favorite book out of the Harry Potter series
Book 3 because of Professor Lupin. That's the only book I've actually reread, and I also read it in Chinese as well, finding it amusing to re-consume the book in a different language. I have volumes 1-6 in Chinese, but I've only flipped through the rest. :3

6) Describe to me your favorite pizza (if you don't like pizza, just go with a dessert)
My favorite pizza is cheese pizza. I love pizza! But I don't like having toppings on it. XD; I love love love cheese pizza. Toppings change the flavor. (...I've even thrown a tantrum before when my parents bought me pepperoni pizza instead of cheese pizza, and then they were all telling me that I just had to take the pepperoni off if I wanted cheese pizza, but the flavor's totally wrong! OTL. I was young. I still think the same way, that toppings totally change the flavor, but I wouldn't throw a tantrum about it. XD;;).

I tend to like my food without extra stuff... so ketchup? Usually my answer is no thanks. Pepper? Mustard? No thanks...

7) Name five of your favorite male names
I've never given this any thought before. XD; Hmmm... I am very fond of Luc/Luke/alternations of this name. Because it shares the same beginning as Lucathia. XD; Nothing else comes to mind right away... oh, I do like "Ryuu" as well, because I like dragons.

I feel as if I would get sorted into Ravenclaw for needing to score high on tests, working ot turning things in on time, being buried in books, etc. but then Slytherin for crazy ambition and all that jazz. Thus Slytherclaw or Raventherin XDDD Yes, I made this up during marching band rehearsal with another trombone player. We spent the day during the pauses putting everyone in our section into houses.

OMG one of my goals is to have a tennis court in the backyard! How awesome we have the same idea! And I've always wanted a room with wooden bookshelves lining the walls like the one from Beauty and the Beast.

That idea for a webcomic/manga/manhwa/etc is super duper amazing!!! HOw exciting :D

Ah! I've always wondered where Lucathia came from!

Gotta love them mages <3 I like using them I do, but I usually don't have room for a lot of them 'cause I favor the super fast moving and powerful units like the paladins and wyvern riders (and I like being able to attack and move away if I so choose).

Book 3 is my fav too! It split in half, but only the pages and not the binding I've reread it so many times and Lupin is just <3 That book is like the perfect blend of light-heartedness, darker themes, plot progression, character development, mystery…. Just so good.

Lol pizza! I seem to like the more specialty pizzas (with what my fancy tomatoes and spinach and feta cheese and oil and whatnot) haha. But I didn't have my first one of those until five years ago. But cheese pizza is totally legit tasting stuff too!

^^ Names. I like dragons too :) Ryuu is a very nice name and Luke is great too.
I seem to favor D names in English (like David, Darien, Daniel) and K names in Japanese (Kentarou, Kei(go), Kanata).

Fun reading your answers!

[lucathia]

I would be more of a Ravenpuff than a Raventherin. But I see some Slytherin in myself too, because I tend to think carefully and weigh my options before I act. I can see you as a Slytherclaw. XD; You have lots and lots of ambition!

I've wanted a tennis court in my backyard for many, many years, but my backyard is way too small for that. But I can dream. XD;; As for bookshelves, I want movable bookshelves I can slide off to the side so I can have two rows of them against each wall, hehe.

I was considering the idea of an exchange student program between different time periods for my NaNoWriMo, but I decided that was a bit beyond me. XD; Wonder if I can ever develop the idea! :3

The name "Lucathia" comes from adding "cat" into the name "Luthia", which I got from tweaking "Lufia", a character from an SNES game by the same name. I quite love the name Lufia! Lucathia is an original character that I drew art of and wrote a little about when I was younger, but now it feels like my name, so I scrapped the character. XD; In video games, I usually play as an archer when I name my characters "Lucathia". :3

I don't use as many paladins and wyvern riders as you do. XD; Usually I have maybe 2 knights or so, and 1 or 2 flying units. This also depends on the game, but my team is usually loaded with mages, archers, myrmidons... I almost never used generals, but I've taken to including one general or so. :3 And then the rest of my team is whatever the story requires of me. XD

Whoa, you read Book 3 so much that it split in half? WOW. I'm not sure where my English version is... I might not even have it anymore. The Chinese version is still on my shelf though. XD I really loved Harry learning more about his parents' friends, and Remus and Sirius both spoke out to me a lot.

I also like pizza with a ton of stuff on it, but I'm not a big fan of pizza with 1 or 2 toppings. XD; Plain cheese is still my favorite though!

Oh, I like the name Darien too. :) I also like names that start with T and L. :3 (initial of my real name, and initial from Lucathia).

[absolutehymn007.livejournal.com]

You would be more of a Ravenpuff - you're so nice and hard working :) There is no limit to my ambition!!!! Fwahahahaha. I'd also venture to say that I'm fairly clever and very independent.

My backyard wouldn't be able to fit it either… but it's a jungle with trees and flowers and a pond. I need to put up those pictures that I took of the garden in the late summer up sometime that perky requested of me. And I'll take some in the spring too! It's almost all of my dad's work and some of my mom's (she does more with the produce gardening though). And the garden really counts as anything that surrounds my house lol.

It's such a sweet idea, but it would definitely be complicated and demand a lot of research. Maybe a project that takes a few years?

Lucathia would be a name befitting of archers!! I don't have many games where you can name yourself and choose your class. If it's like Pokemon or something, I'll be David. Although my brother and I started naming ourselves in Legend of Zelda games by closing our eyes and jiggling the control stick around and picking random letters, and then that becomes our name. We got a kickbutt one out of Wind Waker, but I can't remember how it's actually spelled. And a real nice one for Twilight Princess.

That first came from naming weapons in Path of Radiance… we started running out of ideas for proper names and so the later forged weapons have wacky yet epic sounding nonsense names.

I'm a sucker for the paladins especially. So many good looking men with awesome personalities! I only use Haar as my Wyvern Rider (Heath if he fits in my party from FE7). I'm usually like four paladins, one wyvern rider, one archer, two-four magic users, one general, and then other depending on what game we're talking about.

I gotta get a picture of that. Yeah, the glue on the pages that behind them to the spine separated the pages from the spine (but still kept the pages together)… but then that split in half. It's a bit hard to explain lol. Remus and Sirius are just so awesome.

I like your real first name - very pretty!

PS:

Fire Emblem Sprite Randomness
Need to post this too at some point on a random post, but thought I'd share it with you now.

[lucathia]

Oh, you think Ravenpuff too for me? :) I think I did get that on one of those house sorting memes, hehe.

Oooh, you have a pond in your backyard? How big? I have a pond too (for the fish and the turtle) but it's a fairly small pond, and it doesn't look very pretty. It used to look nicer when the lilies first bloomed, but now it's been years and the roots of the lilies are a tangled mess. They grew like crazy! Your yard and garden sound very pretty. :)

Yup, I'd need to do a lot of planning and research if I want to attempt such a project!

Mostly it's MMORPGs where I get to choose a class. I just go by Lucathia in Pokemon games too... except I think it's what, one letter too long for many Pokemon games? That always saddens me! I end up having to shorten my name! I name any male characters I play "Rykatu", as he's one of my male OCs. XD; LOL! You must have come up with a lot of strange names, naming yourselves with your eyes closed. XD

/checks FE6 data. I had 1 lord, 1 wyvern rider, 5 mages (including anima/dark/light), 2 archers, 2 myrmidons, 1 paladin, 1 hero, 1 pegasus knight, and 1 thief. Yup, my party heavily leans towards mages. XD; I can't believe I only had 1 knight! No generals! But the wyvern rider and pegasus knight took care of distance... I do remember that FE6 was the game where I could have ended up with a complete team of just magic users (excluding Roy). There were so many of them!

That book sounds like it's gone through a lot.

LOL. This random sprite awesomeness is so LOL-worthy. Did you put this together, or someone else? How do their weapons fit in the treasure chests? That's a good question. XD;;

Knight: I have lots more to work on.
Me: Mada mada dane!??

[absolutehymn007.livejournal.com]

The pond is like 15x15ft I think. It's slightly bigger than the one in the front yard. Dad is the builder of ponds lol (he likes to build a lot). We had fish for a few years, but then we had a really cold winter and they all died. There was a little pond turtle that visited for a while too... he loved to swim through the lillies and chill on the bricks that surrounded the pond. He was so cute! Dad's out there 24/7... otherwise the lillies and the rest of the garden would grow out of control.

Hmm, I feel as if I would be some kind of sword user in an MMORPGs. Although archers would be my second choice. I will have to look up these names (I can't anymore on the weapons 'cause my file corrupted itself and I have a new file) to share. They're funny and epic at the same time.

I don't have anything other than FE7 and PoR and RD :/ Such sadness.
Wow - your group is fairly balanced! I tend to design my party in pairs - everybody has a friend (usually of a like class, but not always). So if they have to split up on a course, I send pairs with each other (even if it makes no sense for one of them if they use a different weapon and it wouldn't be as effective).

Rykatu is a boss name!

Yup! I made it myself using my favorite characters from the game (including Lloyd and Linus!). I'm sure there are different sized treasure chests like how some of the Legend of Zelda games do it. But you'll never know for real lololol.

If you look at the set-up, I set up my PoT/FE gang by class... Wil and Seth... The Three Lords... and Legault vs Dorcas/Raven XDDD The Wind Scythe is actually something for one of the Part 3 chapters so when I saw that image, I was like OMG MUST USE.

Lol!

[lucathia]

A good sized pond! :3 Oooh, even personally built! Yeah, my dad built ours too. You even had a visiting turtle? That sounds so cute.

Swords are cool and very impressive. I'm not very good with melee classes though.

Ah, FE6 is one of my favorites! I really like these two twin mages from the game. I also played Shadow Dragon on the DS but am less fond of it. (I hope I can play the sequel sometime, but I don't think it's been localized...?)

You seem to pair characters up better than me. I so paired a wyvern knight with a healer. That... so does not work, haha, because their movement is way too different so they're never next to each other!

Lloyd and Linus are both awesome. :D

[absolutehymn007.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! I forgot to ask you for questions back. May I have 7 please?

[lucathia]

:D

1. La Corda d'Oro - manga, anime, or video games? (or musical?)
2. Who do you like to use in Super Smash Brothers?
3. Your ideal classroom?
4. If you could invite 5 fictional characters to a slumber party, who would you invite?
5. If Fire Emblem PoR and RD characters were part of Prince of Tennis, which teams would they be on? (just a few examples would do~) Or would they be part of entirely new schools?
6. Writing goals for 2012?
7. Have you ever written any original stories?

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

Ooo, a Ravenclaw! You can socialize with Luna and then help me study! XD You could have all kinds of fun with the riddle passwords. (Unless you were running late.)

That is a very thorough analysis of Kirihara vs Hiyoshi. Kirihara does seem stronger in tennis while Hiyoshi has stronger leadership skills. I totally agree with you there. :)

Golfing with Rikkai! :D That sounds like so much fun! And don’t worry, if you have troubles, I'm sure Yagyuu would be more than happy to help you out.

It seems most people start out as fandom lurkers; I think it takes time to gain the confidence to participate.

Oh, illegal turtles! I love that you call her 'turtle'. That's adorable.

Your song choice sounds very nice. I kind of want to listen to it now. :)

You'd stay put? LOL Me too! I don't do well with change. >__> Your place sounds nice, kind of like Goldilocks. Not too hot/cold and not too big/small. Also, if you wanted a tennis court of your own and an enormous library you could just move in with Atobe. His house is so big he might not even notice. XD

Do it! Say 'wakame' and then just hide behind Sanada. He would never let Kirihara hurt you. /nods

Your manga sounds interesting; I would totally read it. Did you have specific time periods in mind?

Also, I hope you get a chance to visit your relatives in Taiwan. It sounds like you really miss them.

I enjoyed reading your answers. :) If you can think of seven questions to ask me, I'd love to hear them.

[lucathia]

I do well with studying (remembering everything afterward is a different matter)... but I so need people skills. I was definitely a Ravenclaw back in school, but I feel I'm more of a Hufflepuff now that I've graduated. :3

Kirihara's leadership skills seem a little lacking. I would love to see him tackle some strategy.

Hee, gentleman Yagyuu teaching me golf? That sounds pretty awesome!

I lurked so, so much, partly because around that time, most people online were a lot older than me, though now that's changed and I feel like I'm one of the older people around in fandom while most other people are younger than me. I still tend to lurk because I don't always know what to say or I feel like I have nothing to contribute, but I've also started a few projects and communities, so I've gotten better at not lurking. XD;

I don't do well with change either, so if given a choice to move or not move, I would choose not to move. XD; Hehe, yeah, I feel my place is ideal for me! If I'd grown up elsewhere, I'd probably feel different. LOL. Yeah, Atobe's residence has all I want in a house. XD;; I could just take up one of the wings and he wouldn't even know!

wakame! /runs away

Hmm, I was mostly thinking about the present and sometime far, far in the future as the setting for the story, but I also thought it would be interesting if it involved two time periods that have both already happened instead of something that has yet to happen. I'm quite terrible with history though. XD;

I'm hoping I can visit Taiwan sometime! It's been far too long.

Questions for Alex! :D

1. How did you come to be called Alex?
2. What's your favorite sport?
3. Do you have a favorite rajipuri show? If so, which one, and why?
4. If you were to prank someone, what would you do?
5. Headcanon for Sanada?
6. Do you have any favorite seiyuu?
7. What are the first five things that come to mind when you see the letter "A"?

You changed Houses after school? Wow, I never considered that. I've always been firmly Gryffindor. In a 'you don't know how brave you truly are, Neville' kind of way. If that makes sense.

Oh, you know Yagyuu would totally teach you golf. Remember in Gakupuri when he kept running off to help another girl? YOU COULD BE THAT GIRL!

I never would have thought of you as a lurker. I still lurk a bit for the reasons you stated, but I've been more vocal lately. Probably to the point of 'make this chick go away!' XD;;

Ooh, nice questions! I'll try to not make the 'headcanon for Sanada' one a novel. I swear.

[lucathia]

Yup, I feel like my personality has changed since school. For one, I didn't used to procrastinate as much as I do now. XD; I was so on top of things in school... I feel I'm a bit more laid back now and somewhat less timid (though I'm still very shy).

Oooh, always a Gryffindor, eh? That's pretty awesome. :)

Hahahaha, I could so be that girl Yagyuu keeps running off to help in Gakupuri, LOL.

I lurked so much. I never ever commented or contributed anything of my own. I'm less of a lurker now, but I still lurk a lot. XD;

Hee, I look forward to your answers!

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

'Oh,Yagyuu-senpai! Do you have a minute?'
'I'm sorry, Alex. I promised Lucathia I would help her with her short game. Perhaps another time.'
'Oh. O-of course.'

And I'm left alone by the fountain...

[lucathia]

LOL.

Don't worry, this just leaves you more time for Sanada. ;)

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

Perfect! Though, I made Sanada yell at me a lot in that game by asking the wrong questions. XD I still got his ending so whatever. :)

[perkyandproud.livejournal.com]

Ooo, questions! Some for me?

...I have all the YYH manga and DVDs. We should talk :-)

Mmm...cheese pizza....

*hugs you*

[lucathia]

Let's talk YYH! XD; And other stuff. XD

1. Who's your favorite character from Yu Yu Hakusho?
2. If you had to enter the Dark Tournament in Yu Yu Hakusho, who would you choose as your 4 teammates? (can be anyone, fictional or non-fictional).
3. What do you think of the Makai, the demon world in Yu Yu Hakusho? Would you ever want to live there?
4. What's the first convention you ever attended?
5. What kind of exercises do you normally do?
6. Which character from Tenipuri would you want as your doubles partner if you were to play doubles?
7. Why do you like the color red?

I don't believe I've gotten questions from you yet, so I'm going to go off and request some now, haha. XD;;

[perkyandproud.livejournal.com]

My answers are up on my blog!

*hugs you*

I've found that a lot of people favor book three out of the HP set more than the others. I'm the same. I think one of the things that draws me to that book is the fact that they are actually learning stuff in DADA class for once. Lupin's a great teacher. Wish I had one like him when I was in school. :D

As for House, all the sorters I've taken have either said Ravenclaw or Slytherin. I really fit as a mix of the two, so I'd be Slytherclaw as well, I guess.

My elemental would actually be ice/water, which is my zodiac elemental. My OC is actually a water/ice elemental.

Questions?

[lucathia]

Lupin is such a great teacher. Like you, I enjoyed the fact that they actually learned things in DADA. The material was pretty fascinating to see. I also loved the Marauder's Map! The Marauders. Animagus.

Oh, so you're a Slytherclaw!

1. What makes you a Slytherclaw?
2. You mention an OC. Who is this OC?
3. If you could rewrite Trigun, how would you have events play out?
4. Do you have a favorite character type? If so, what is it?
5. Who's your favorite tennis player?
6. What's your favorite Tenipuri song?
7. What kind of genres do you like to read or watch?

[sac527.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're a Ravenpuff!! The tests alternate giving me Slytherdor or Griffinclaw.

Oo, I agree with your comments on Piyo/Akaya. Akaya is more raw and Hiyoshi has more control.

Did you watch Kung Fu Panda? How did you react to Master Wu Gui?

Taiwan has built up a lot the last few years, but it's still ridiculously pretty. And the FOOD. /dies of bliss

Ah, KA! I was so excited to see the Wheel of Death, but I think I walked in with too much expectations. What did you think of Quidam's plot? Synchronization, huh? Have you seen the chinese pole act in Saltimbanco? LOL Halloween; weird out everyone!

LMAO Wakame.

(I will be very bad at questions!)
No such thing! Hit me up and I'll prove it <3

[lucathia]

You're almost a mix of all the houses!

Yup, I've watched Kung Fu Panda. Hee, Master Wu Gui is cute.

I haven't been to Taiwan in 12 years. So much must have changed! I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to visit, considering I haven't visited in so many years. I thought I would visit in 2004, and then in 2007, but those years didn't work out.

The Wheel of Death was quite impressive. I had a really good seat for KA and was seated close enough to feel the flames. That made for a really awesome experience. Quidam, I was seated so far away that I could barely see any of the details, so I felt a little detached from the show. Quidam lost me a bit as well, with the content. XD Both my brother and I came out feeling puzzled! But it did keep me guessing and wondering throughout the entire show. I haven't seen Saltimbanco. I don't think it's come around to my city yet. :3 The latest one I went to was Michael Jackson.

Questions, questions!

1. Favorite Chinese dish?
2. You've found $20 on the ground. What do you do?
3. Do you prefer to go on trips with someone or by yourself?
4. If you had to choose between traveling to the past or to the future, which would you choose?
5. What's your favorite skit from Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou so far?
6. A cosplay you've done that you're proud of?
7. If you were to become a hero to fight crime, what would be your superhero name?

[sac527.livejournal.com]

LOL. I think I'm mostly Gryffindor with a few aspects of Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

Hey, when you do visit, let me know ahead of time and I'll write out a list of places for you to eat. I did a full island two-week tour in 2010, and then I lived in Taipei last year for work. (Mom's family lives in Taichung, so I sometimes went down there to) The Food: You must go!

I saw Delirium in theaters, and that was pretty awesome.


LOL those questions are going to be fun. <3

[lucathia]

If I remember about this conversation, I'll so ask you about recommendations of places to eat at! :3 I remember I just went for cheap places when I was in Taiwan. Cheap and convenient! XD; But oh, I was reading an old entry of yours about... a butler cafe? In Taiwan? :O I've went to one in Japan (and was very embarrassed, but it was such an awesome experience). I think I would be even more embarrassed if spoken to in Chinese at a butler cafe, since it somehow feels more private to me as I mostly speak Chinese just with family. XD;;

Ooo, amazing performance. :3 Music is very catchy too.

[sac527.livejournal.com]

I should make a review about night markets soon. Oh man, you just can't beat those prices.

XD Yesssss, the butler cafe. XD Ahahahaha, that place is a trip. It's not that embarrassing, and the guys take it in stride so it's really quite fun. They're more laid back than someplace like Swallowtail.

[lucathia]

I love night markets. ♥

Haha, Swallowtail was the one I went to. XD;

[sac527.livejournal.com]

XD Chitty Mood is so much cheaper than Swallowtail. Definitely not as professional, but there's pros and cons to that. =)

Here's one of my favorite acts from O: aerial hoops. <3 these guys

[lucathia]

I don't remember any of this! I so need to watch O again someday. This is beautiful. Amazing what can be done with hoops.
