This one looks like fun

Ask me a question about anything--fandom, real life, music, vegetables, etc--and I will answer you and then ask YOU a question and then the whole process could be repeated if anyone wants to keep it up. If this works, by the end we could know each other so well we're sick of each other and have to quit one another for a while.

The XXXHOLiC movie summary will come soon.

ETA: Can't remember if I did this one or not.

What kind of things you do to avoid stress?

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2006-02-26 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'll start with a random one because it's late and I can't think of anything else. Favourite movie?

Also, icon love!

Actually, almost every activity I do to relax increases the stress instead of calming it. Webdesign? stress. Icons? stress? Fanfic writing? stress. Fandom? stress. Windows' minesweeper? stress!

I guess the only things that work are reading books and manga, peeking over artbooks, listening to music. Sometimes, watching anime or movies or TV, and playing videogames, are useful as well. Sadly, I've reached such a level of computer addiction I don't those things as much as I should. Internet and the goods it provides eat my brain.

At what age did you decide to study medicine?

I get a lot of icon love since I snatched that icon XDDDDD

Yikes, you always ask the questions I cannot ask. I truly don't have a favorite movie, and I can't think of a movie between the ones I like I'm more fond of over the other ones. A movie I HAVE to get on DVD ans rewatch it 2716372 times because it's that good doesn't exist. I don't even rewatch a lot. My 10-15 DVDs are all dusty, and most of the movies I really like I don't even own on video.

Actually, I've never been such a "cinéfila" anyway (don't know its translation in English; movie fan?)

Okay, the question... what's the weirdest plant/vegetal species you've seen in your life?

[identity profile] elihice.livejournal.com 2006-02-26 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
The first time I had the idea? Four, much to the amusement of my grandfather. If we talk about what age I really choose, then I'll have to say sixteen.

Favorite thing about Venezuela?

Lame question! How tall are you?

Lame answer! 5'11, 1.50 meters.

Yes, that short! Who's a bean you only can see through a microscope?!

Let me see... favorite ice cream flavor?

To be honest, I want to go to my old house in Venezuela and ship my books ;_; I crave my books, I need my books, all those imported HP books in English, all those childhood books, the college books!

But if we're talking about turism, I want to go to London, Rome, Paris, Athens, a lot of European cities. And some other countries and cities where my Internet friends live, since I want to meet them in person.

Favorite Ghibli movie?

People and weather. They're way, way warmer and easier to handle. People in Galicia are too idiotic and are likely to loathe you, ignore you and talk behind your back or talk to you in gallego to piss you off. If people in Venezuela don't like you, you'll definitely know in very unsubtle ways. And really, I'm so tropical I still don't understand how the fuck you feel like freezing in a sunny day, while you're standing under the sun. The temperature changes are killing me; I'm used to get around 20ºC in average all year. Summertime here? Piece of cake.

Also, we only have one fucking language, dammit.

If you could meet in flesh and bones one fandom character (as in a fictional character, not a BFN), who would it be?

That's REALLY tall, as far as I'm concerned.

I waver between mint chocolate chip, peppermint, and coffee.

If you could be a fictional character, which one would it be?

Let me think.

In females, Yuuko, because she's so pretty, powerful, is not really a Sue even with those traits, and can get away with almost anything and was sexed up by Clow. In males, High Priest!Yukito, because he rocks, is smart and cute, and has a cool staff and is sexed up by King!Touya.

*reads her answer*

...

Now that's lovely. Stupid Clow derivatives being so hot, and stupid people I ship them with being awesome.

Comedy, drama or tragedy?

[identity profile] the-great-elk.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I like your answer~ ^^

Drama.

What's your family like?

Bunch of lunatics.

Er, I mean. I have a mother, a stepfather and two half brothers (twins, 12 years old), but I'm living now with my grandmother and my uncle (long story). I haven't seen my father since I was 17, and boy am I happy he never cared about me since he divorced mom anyway). I have another uncle I don't give a fuck about and viceversa, and I know squat about my father's family, except for my grandmother's name.

I have at least another half sister from my father's side I'll never meet, and my grandmother had like eight sibling, so we have a lot of idiotic relatives in this country, like grand-aunts, mom's cousins with their kids, and so on. They suck because they've been fighting over heritage money and lands for decades.

I think that's it.

First fandom you were serious about?

[identity profile] elihice.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
I really get the temperature thing: if it's sunny, then it should be warm.

Tricky question. Most of my favorite character would be dangerous to meet (for example, Yuuko or Seishirou), or someone I wouldn't resist kicking to see if gets less retarded (half of the cast of X)... so I guess it would be someone closer to my age like Ed (FMA) or Watanuki. I could see myself talking to them.

Favorite internet moment?

[identity profile] rainmage.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
What, all-time? O.o That's a very abstract question, and I'm not sure I understand it. Like, something happening in fandom? A certain chat with someone? A wank that amused me? Something I did or somebody did for me that made me feel accomplished?

I really don't get it, and I'm not sure I have one.

Tell me one of your guilty pleasures, of any kind. A cheesy movie? A bad music artist? A pairing everybody hates? A weird fanfiction fetish? Anything, really.

[identity profile] the-great-elk.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, that sounds messy. My family is big, but most of them are from Hawaii, so they're all nice and easy-going.

Hmmm... either RK or CCS. And that's pretty much how it's stayed.

Favorite toy as a child?
ext_387179: A sea turtle swimming (Default)

[identity profile] rainmage.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Lego. I liked building those castle and pirate ships sets, and play adventures with the Lego dolls. They're so cute, like yellow robots.

Do you prefer digital clocks/watches, or regular ones? (so random XD)

[identity profile] eotheod.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ouch, that's just mean... I want to say Spirited Away or Mononoke, but then I think about Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, which I grew up on, and then there is Whisper of the Heart which gets me every time (because no matter how I try to fight it, I can be such a hopeless romantic at times)... Nausicaa is really good too.. GAH!
Since you made me try to pick favorites...

Favorite manga?

*cue evil laughter*

[identity profile] elihice.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
I meant as "first time I was recced, time when [insert series] ended, etc", but I guess you are right, is too abstract.

Ummm, a hard question considering my tastes vary according to my mood. As a weird pairing, I guess I must be one of the four people who like Eriol /Kaho, but I'm pretty sure I would like it less if most CCS fans didn't hate it so much. I feel strangely vindicated when E/T fans read those fics thinking that just because it has Eriol, then it must have their favorite pairing.

Another guilty pleasure is... let's say sometimes there's people in my flist who are wanky. A lot. But I keep it them in the flist for a while just to observe the wank. Is like a car crash: you know is going to get horrible and there's going to be blood everywhere... but you can't stop looking.

...and I like emo songs like Evanescence...it's not my fault idiotic fangirls use their songs for baaaaaaaad songfics.

If you had to choose one fandom world (say X, Bleach) to live in, what would it be?

[identity profile] rainmage.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, I've gotten reviews wanting me to continue the fic by adding E/T on GEN ONE-SHOTS. A friend of mine has seen a lot of E/T fics starting with Eriol and Kaho having a bad relationship, and then them breaking up messily so Eriol can run into Tomoyo's arms. So I'm guessing they think ALL E/K fics are red herring for future E/T.

This is really making me to reconsider the "E/T" practical joke to post at the Pit.

"Well, it IS E/T, but not the E/T you were looking for!"

Hanshin or Edonis. The first one looks like fun, with all those kudans everywhere, and the second one has a badass videogame, so I'm guessing PCs and consoles in that world must be a blast.

Animals you can't stand (not limited to pets)?

Easy. Fullmetal Alchemist, with XXXHOLiC running a couple of meters behind.*

Favorite HP characters and ships?





* Current answer, subjected to changes in time and tastes.

[identity profile] eotheod.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
XP

Characters = Neville, Lupin, McGonagall, Luna, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George, Fenrir, Cedric*, Snape*, Lucius*, Draco (one of my favortie parts of HBP was when he stomped on Harry's face), Moony

Ships= the only one I'm really attached to is Sirius/Lupin... although prett much anything involving Luna also works.

*= might have something to do with the actor playing them in the movies

Totally random... Shoe Size?

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2006-02-27 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hepática. No idea how it's called in English, but it's really small and really weird. It looks like a tiny vascular ("regular") plant but it's actually a kind of moss. And it looks very cool under the microscope.

Favourite FMA character before the Xingese people showed up?

Uh... it's been ages since I've bought shoes in USA, so I can't remember. We have different shoe sizes over here. My feet are normal-sized, does that help?

Least favorite/most hated level/world thing in Kingdom Hearts 1?
