5. Things you want to say to an ex
... I don't know. I have one ex, and we're still friends.
6. Your views on mainstream music
Eh. I don't really care. If I like the song, I like it. If I don't, I don't. I don't really care for today's Country music, though. It's not Country.
7. Five pet peeves
- Brand new laptops that don't work right
- The 'Said is Dead' movement because it is horrible writing advice
- People who are never happy (I mean, I know I complain a lot and I'm trying to get better at seeing the good in life, but I have a roommate and I NEVER see her happy. Ever.)
- The Oxford Comma not being used
- People who joke/get after me about not having a book ready to publish yet. I know my progress has been really slow lately the past few years, but I'm working on it and through it.
8. What you ate today
Marshmallow Mateys, 3 chocolate chip cookies from Subway, and a glass of chocolate milk
9. How important do you think education is
Very. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be in my fifth year of college with a loan of a couple thousand dollars. But I think the more important education comes outside of school. Never stop learning, and never stop seeking out knowledge.
10. Put your music player on shuffle and write the first ten songs that play
1. Sound of Madness - Shinedown (which is a song that kind of fits my character Kami, in that this song is told from the POV of a friend's character talking to Kami)
2. Long Long Way - Alan Jackson
3. Fight Like a Girl - Bombshel
4. Hearts as Strong as Horses (and Reprise) - The Cutie Mark Crusaders from MLP: FiM
5. Keep Holding on - Avril Lavigne
6. Poor Unfortunate Souls - Ursula
7. Girl Next Door - Saving Jane
8. Ace in the Hole - George Strait
9. The Hampsterdance Song (Extended Mix) - Hampton the Hampster
10. Temporary Home - Carrie Underwood
11. Your family
What about them? I have seven siblings, and am the third oldest.
12. Five guys whom you find attractive
- Ken Ichijouji (Digimon)
- Fakir (Princess Tutu)
- Prince Aikka (Oban: Star-Racers)
- Tuxedo Kamen (Sailor Moon)
- Kakashi (Naruto)
13. Your opinion about your body and how comfortable you are with it
...I don't really know. I guess it's alright?
14. What you wore today
Socks, shoes, Levi pants, a NaNoWriMo shirt
15. Your zodiac/horoscope and if you think it fits your personality
Sheep, which sounds more like me. I like the same basic routines and sudden changes in plans can stress me out. I open up to only a handful of people, and have a hard time starting a romantic relationship if there is not a close friendship first. The "loneliness of isolation is often at battle with the comfort and safety of the wall that they erect." A Sheep's lucky color is purple, which is my favorite color.
Aries, which doesn't really fit me. I am independent and can be a little self-involved, but I don't feel as if I'm impatient or moody, and while I am independent, I'm not a leader by any means. Aries people sound like extroverts, while I am an introvert.
16. Something you always think "what if..." about
I think quite a bit about my character Casey, and her getting involved with the Naruto world--such as her becoming an unofficial member of Team 7 and traveling back and forth between her world and theirs to train with them. And sometimes I think about what would happen if Team 7 was assigned a mission to hunt Casey down without realizing it was her--as there is a war going on in her world and she's the only human girl on the planet, so not a ton of description would be needed.
17. Something that you're proud of
...I'm drawing a blank right now.
18. A problem that you have had
Lack of self-confidence
19. Five items you lust after
Lust is kind of a strong word... How about want?
- I'd love a Digidestined necklace/crest. I've seen some fanmade ones. They're just a little expensive... I don't know which one I want. I want the one that fits me best, but I'm not sure which that is. Kindness is probably the one I'm leaning towards, because Ken is my favorite character, and then my favorite character (and the one I'm most like) in MLP is Fluttershy, whose special trait is Kindness.
- The giant Spike plush. I think I saw it in ToysRUs, but I could be wrong. While Spike isn't always treated that great by the writers of the MLP show, I do love him, and a giant Spike would be awesome! There's so little merchandise of him.
- Sailor Moon's original transformation pendant, as a necklace.
- Any kind of Vanellope figure from Wreck-It Ralph
- Any kind of Tuxedo Kamen figure from Sailor Moon
20. Your fears
- Fear of failing
- Fear of never being good enough
- Fear of pain/needles
- Fear of dying
- Fear of chickens
And I could keep going on and on...
21. How you hope your future will be like
Married to a great guy, with kids (some adopted), stay-at-home mother, with a few novels published
22. Your academics
I'm a Senior in College. My Major is English with an Emphasis in Creative Writing. I also have two art Clusters, dealing with traditional drawing and then Graphic Design.
23. Something that you miss
Writing with other people.
24. Five words/phrases that make you laugh
- "Do you want to do an activity together?" From Avatar
- "That's a sharp outfit." From Avatar
- "Spies are of no use nowadays. Their profession is over. The newspapers do their work instead." From Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband", which I am reading right now.
- 'K, so... Whenever somebody says that at my house, we shout out "Cheese!"
- "I've heard it both ways." From Psych
25. Something you're currently worrying about
Homework
26. Things you like and dislike about yourself
Like: creative, caring
Dislike: frizzy hair, chin hair, weight (not that I'm horribly overweight or anything, but I've put on enough weight in the past five years that it's starting to be noticeable...), acne, insecurities, fears, etc.
27. A quote you try to live by
"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not."
28. Somewhere you'd like to move to or visit
I like my state, but I would LOVE to visit Japan.
29. Five weird things that you like
- Country music (it seems Country is the most unpopular genre...)
- Dragontales
- Twilight (it's fallen out of grace, but I don't it any less)
- The actual character Naruto (not very many people seem to like him, even if they're fans of the show)
- Eat a spoonful of chocolate milk with Nesquilk powder dumped on top
30. One thing you're excited for
Only one? How about... several!
- Ruby and Sapphire remakes in the fall!
- Sailor Moon Crystal airing in a month!
- Graduating from college in July! (though, it also scares me)
- The Incredibles 2!
