Your favourite FF that isn't 12?
FFXIII
Your favourite non-FF game?
Valkyria Chronicles
(And Uncharted 3)
(And SMB3)
(And SSX3 I'M SENSING A THEME)
Drama? Hm, there have been a few, but honorable mentions to The Secret Life of Us (Australian), Gilmore Girls and Orange is the New Black.
Not mentioning Buffy and X-files for genre reasons.
As a teenager I was obsessed with the latter, and Lonesome Dove
I'm sure I'm forgetting something!!
Presuming you're tattoo-less (forgive me if I'm wrong), what tattoo would you get and where would you have it?
I don't have tattoos myself but I've drawn stuff that other people have tattooed on them, which is pretty awesome! One thing I learned from that time (I was 15, lol. Hidden past of Fangu) is that you should always go bigger than you think you want. I'd probably put some kind of anime western crossover fairy in happy colours on the top side of my back. That's where I wanted a tattoo when I was that age (if I was ever going to get one) and I'd still get the same one. Hey wait this is the Internet age - what if I can find the image I wanted? It was in a French manga magazine I bought while in France in 2006 - it was fanart, actually, of Video Girl Äi. I still have the magazine, but - nope, can't find the image in particular.
How things with you and Awesome?
They are... awesome?
I wish I could just start calling him my boyfriend but since we're working together it might be better to keep things subtle until... I dunno. Engagement? Buying a home together?? I'm meeting his father this Saturday though
If you knew you had a few days left on the world (let's say an apocalypse is happening) and you get to choose ten TLS members to spend it with, who would they be and why?
Yop, Lex, Flint, Carlie, Dawn, YOU, Marcus, Yop, Shademp, Omega, Ghost, Octo, Cab, Cass, Joe, Kev, Kuja, Flare, I know that's too many but I don't care
Please divulge the secret of your youthful looks, I want to look as fabulous as you when I'm your age.
Now you're just flattering me
Ehm... look 28 when you're 23?? That's what I did anyway
Nah, I'd probably say: Don't smoke and always wear sunscreen on your face. They say cigarettes and smoking (and genes) is what causes wrinkles. Other than that... dress as 24 when you're 34, that's my recipe these days anyway
Oh, and act really ridiculous and childish, I do that as well
What motivates you to go running?
The meditative calm that comes with it. And the feeling of awesome that comes after
(Plus knowing it helps with the not getting fat lol)
Which TLS member could you see yourself having hate sex with?
Oy!
Road?
Which TLS member could you see yourself having horny sex with?
All sex is horny! Or should be at least
Is your hair naturally red?
It's more golden, tbh, that's what one hairdresser called it anyway. I'd say 'golden blonde' though - there's some red qualities in there (as a kid it was kind of orange) but right now it's blonde getting light blonde in the summer.
I like being a blonde, tbh. Right now it makes sense. (At 25 I preferred being a brunette, at 30 I was into red.)
How are things in your apartment now it's a while since you've been living alone?
I love your questions
It's been stages, man. I've gone from no feelings (survival mode), to I kind of like it, to kind of hating it, to accepting it... now I feel like I've grown used to it. It's small, but the fact that it's small means I won't be stuffing it with crap, and I've realised that not owning more stuff that I can handle is kind of important to me. I'm proud to say that all of my stuff is here - my mother brought down my childhood stuff we cleared out when she moved from her house to her apt, so I'm in control of all my possessions. It feels nice. But yeah - it might be small, but it doesn't have to be bigger, really. The apt I lived in earlier was over twice this size and had a view - but that's the past, you know? I'm through sulking over what was... and just today, this evening, I had this thing where I was looking at my TV and the table it sits on and I was like 'you know what, I really like this TV. I bought this TV with my own money - money I have because I'm managing my life. It looks nice. It feels homey.' (Looked at sofa) 'And this sofa is really awesome'.
So... I can honestly say that even though I paid a bit more for this place then I probably should have, I feel like it was worth it. It's a great location, a location that's easy to sell - it's the perfect size for 1 person, 2 for a short period of time if needs be. I'll manage, whatever happens.
And I kind of decided yesterday that if it all goes to hell, I'll keep two things: A job (so I can keep this apt), and a horse. As long as there's a job and a horse, I'll get by. I want to keep going, I'll always find a way.
Tell us what your theme song would be. If you can't think of one, pick three.
'
Bitch', Meredith Brooks - a cliché, but it's the truth. I've realised I'll never be a manager type of professional person - I stumble heart first into everything I do; I can't hide my feelings, and that's just me; no point thinking I'll ever be anything else. 'I'm a sinner and a saint, I do not feel ashamed.'
'
Incomplete', Alanis Morissette - Because I'll forever be work in progress
And always vulnerable.
'
Tell Me This Night Is Over', The Ark - at age 22/23, this song was my theme song. It was about that 'will anyone ever want me' thing, about the want to find a partner - but with that, the want to find a life that would feel fulfilling; a career, a home with someone. But listening to that song now, I realised that above all, it is a song about loneliness (of a young adult just staring to learn about adult life), of a need to fit in, to figure out your place in the world. I think most people can relate to this song, in the way that everyone seeks some kind of comfort in wanting to know when 'it will all be alright.'
Ola Salo of The Ark wrote a bunch of wonderful songs back in the early 2000's and I think this is by far his best one.
I really wanted to put something cheerful in here because I do feel that after all I'm a very silly, fun loving person. But I'm in luck -I can leave it to the next question, which perfectly fills the role (thanks Ami)
Also the most important question of all: what is love?
BEST QUESTION TO END THIS THREAD WITH
AMI YOU ARE THE AMIZING
Let's ask the experts, shall we
Thank you everyone
Fangu out
