Have you ever...

Been on a plane: Yes

Swam in the ocean: Yes

Fallen asleep in school: A couple times. But who hasn’t? ..-wait, don’t answer that.

Broken someone's heart: More than a few

Fell off your chair: Yes

Sat by the phone all night waiting for someone to call: Yeah a couple times.

Saved e-mails: Sure! I almost always save convos and such. It’s a habit of mine. Saving things like that. >_>; It’s the memories behind the words I tell you. Honest.

 

What is your room like: Erm... well at the moment it’s pretty decent. There’s still some junk here and there but mostly clean and everything-in-its-place-ish. It’s also almost twice as big as before because of the work we had done in it. They knocked down a wall so now I’ve got more room for the extra bookcase we recently bought. xD;

What's right beside you: My tablet pen in its stand and my notebooks for HgN and class.

What is the last thing you ate: Some cereal. I forget what it’s called. Aniki was eating it and I stole some.

 

Ever had

Chicken pox: Erm... I think so?

Sore throat: Yeah

Stitches: Yup

 

Do you

Believe in love at first sight: Yes, I just don’t believe many have ever experienced it before.

Like picnics: UM. I... don’t think I’ve ever been on... er... done one... um... whatever. I’ve eaten outside before but I don’t know if that counts as a picnic...

 

Who was the last person

You danced with: Aniki

Last made you smile: Aniki

You last yelled at: ...Aniki. ...Wow. Honestly? That’s pretty sad.

 

Best feeling in the world: Being loved. And sleeping in when it rains. Definitely two of the best feelings in the world. Everything that comes with being loved follows after. <3

Do you sleep with stuffed animals: Erm... yesshutupyouknowyoudotoo. >.>;; Though most of them are just kinda everywhere else but the bed as of late. Actually for a while now... I wonder why. o_o;;;;

What's under your bed: Dust probably. DDR pad, a pair and a half of forgotten ripped socks, and.... a bottle of water? o____O;; whut the-?!

Who do you really hate: A great many foe

 

RANDOM.

Q: Is there a person who is on your mind right now: Always

Q: Do you want children: NO. Not unless they’re fictional lol.

Q: Do you smile often: Lately, yes. In Aniki’s presence, always.

Q: Do you like your hand-writing: Yes, I do in fact. It’s small and neat and legible. LOL

Q: Are your toenails painted: Not no—oh wait. *goes to check* ...yeah never mind. They are. XD; *shakes fist at Aniki*

Q: Whose bed other than yours would you rather sleep in: Erm... I like the feel of Jesse’s bed because he’s actually really soft yet firm so it ends up giving my back a lot of support while still being comfortable. Saki’s bed is mostly like a new bed (the one in our house) so its nice to lie in every once in a while. >.> His actual bed (in his house) is SUPER COMFORTABLE. D: I fall asleep in it every time I lie/sit on it too long. It’s ridiculous. I have to stay away from it or I’ll just keel over catching some zzz’s.

Q: What colour shirt are you wearing: I’m not wearing a shirt.

Q: What were you doing at 7:00pm yesterday: ....ERM. *coughcough* Must I answer that question? Aniki might get angry at me again. And after I put in so much work getting him to like me again. 8D;;;;;;;;

Q: I can't wait till: this fucking class is over. It fucked ME over this past week and a half and actually managed to do what NOTHING ELSE could do and had nearly all my friends and Aniki turned against me. x_X This class needs to be over already. Seriously.

Q: When did you cry last: I almost did when we found out we didn’t know where the fuck we were and couldn’t contact anyone for a whole damn week AND I realized I’d miss Chugen, three birthdays, and not be able to talk to Aniki. x_X; Yeah, this last week kinda sucked ass.

Q: Are you a friendly person: Occasionally. Generally (like within the last two years or so) I come off as good-natured and friendly, but I still have a sort of impenetrable shield around me to most people so only the brave find out how nice I really can be.

Q: Do you have any pets: Yes, quite a few. An army of cats, a fox, three birds, and a million and one random wild animals that have decided that our house is their home away from home.

 

Have you ever cried because of something someone said to you?

Yeah. Though not the way you think. Really.

 

If you're having a bad day, who are you most likely to go to?

Aniki or Mindy-san. They’re both great stress-relievers lol

 

Are you loud or quiet most of the time?

Quiet mostly. I can get loud, but I’m mostly a quiet person unless I’m acting/singing/dancing or something like that.

 

Are you confident?

Sometimes

1. If you could change one life-changing event in the life of someone important to you, would you?
Yes I would. Who wouldn't, especially if they could make it better now that they know what would have happened?

2. Which do you think is easier to do, being friends for many years, or being life partners for many years?
Hm, that is difficult question to answer. Personally I would say being life partners because if you chose that person to be with you for the rest of your life, then that's it. It's for life. Friends tend to be a little less binding, which is sad considering how much importance I put into friendship. I think of it no less than I would a life partner, a brother a sister a sibling, a soulmate... But I suppose not everyone thinks of friendship this way and that's why it's sometimes harder to say, "Yes, I've been friends with this person 60 years" instead of saying "I've been in love/partners with this person for 60 years." But this again is concerning myself and not others. From what I've seen of other people, both friendship and Mates seem to be at an all time low in regards to lasting relationships. Truly a sad thing indeed.

3. Have you ever walked away from someone you considered a friend?
...walked away from them? As in abandoned them when they needed me? Then no. I don't do that sort of thing unless its completely unavoidable. I understand that as much as I'd like to keep every promise, every sworn oath, every birthday, holiday, and event... I know that I can't. I know I'm not perfect and that life is the bitchiest pain in the ass the world has ever known and I understand that sometimes I'm going to fail, but so long as I can make up for it, patch up misgivings and such that friendships will last.

However that's on my end. If I did something wrong unintentionally I will make amends for it. But if someone betrays me or does something of intentional harm to me, my friends, my love, or my family I will not forgive them. I am fiercely loyal to my friends and of those I consider true friends I expect the same. If they cannot give it and stab me in the heart, they will no greater enemy. None. I don't take betrayal well, yet at the same time I am willing to forgive, but I will never forget. Too many scars on my heart to let someone try to make another.

4. If you had to choose between telling the truth and hurting a friend or lying and making them happy, which would you choose?
...depends on the situation. My usual answer would be that I'd tell the truth even if it meant hurting them because in the long run that's usually what's better, however in some cases I just can't bring myself to hurt someone I cared about when I know the whole situation could work out differently if I play it low and lie. But those are really generally rare occasions.

5. Which would you rather hear--the truth which will hurt, or the comforting lie?
...DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION LOL. 8D A bit of 50/50 I suppose though not really. I'd honestly prefer the truth even if it's going to hurt me because I'd rather know whatever it is up straight and not have people smiling in my face and stabbing me in the back. The only times I'd want someone to lie to me would be in jest or in good fun (as in they say "YOU ARE SO SEXY LEMME SNOGGER YOU *SMOOCHSMOOCHSMOOCH*" or some shit like that lol~~).

Hair!

   1. What type of hair do you have? (Thin, Normal, Thick, Frizzy, etc.)
Er?? o__O Normal I guess? It's not overly thick, but not thin at all either. So, normal...ish?? Lol?
   2. What color is your hair currently?
Blond
   3. What colors have you dyed/highlighted your hair?
Ahaha you really wanna know? XD Probably every color under the sun at one time or another. ^^;; Well okay, let's see. I definitely remember having blue, electric yellow, pink, green, white, black, purple, silver and strawberry blond hair before. I don't think I ever had it brown, pink, lavender, lime, or gray before.
   4. If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be?
Uh, I like my hair color thank you very much. xD;
   5. What is your hair's length?
LONG. Right about now it's touching my lower back. It's actually kiiiiinda bothering me a bit. I might get it chopped off again to my mid-back or something. Almost trying to touch my butt is starting to make me get paranoid. xD Aniki's is even longer though! His actually goes past his bum. XD But it looks nice on him (not to say it doesn't on me either, but I just don't like having to think about accidentally sitting on my damn hair every single minute thank you very much 8D)

1. Do you have a favourite cause that you support?
Animal Rights, GLTB Rights, Stray Cats Organization (SCO), BCPA (Big Cats Protection Association)

2. If so, how do you support it?
Animal Rights: I donate money to this group monthly and I also take in and care for animals around my neighborhood (usually cats).  I also help the local shelter by donating money to and giving my time and services to the animals there.
GLTB Rights: I used to give counselling to kids who were gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual or transgendered. Now I try to help others understand those around them (not just those of a different sexual orientation than them).
Stray Cat Organization: I donate money to this group monthly and I also take in, care for/adopt/find homes for animals around my neighborhood (usually cats).
Big Cats Protection Association: I donate to them monthly, help out whenever I can, defend their rights in papers in the local newspaper, and go to the few meetings that have actually been held in Japan. It's not all that common a thing to do here since we don't have as many big cats as other countries do, but it's still a major cause to fight for.

3. Have you been an active member of an organization (attending meetings, volunteering etc)?
Yes. I attend meetings and volunteer a lot, plus my donations are always automatic withdrawls from the bank account.

4. Have you ever led any group?
Yes. I was actually the one who started the Stray Cat Organization in my neighborhood (unintentionally, but I still started it lol~)

5. If so, how was your experience with it?
Quite wonderful actually. Little buggers bitting my fingers and scratching me and looking up at me with their cute little eyes... fjknsdjlsngjlsndjsnds DAMN IRRESISTABLE FELINES!!!! ;W;

To all those who celebrate this holiday, Happy 4th of July!

Now here's the Friday Five for this friday July 4th...

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?
Coffee. Lots and LOTS of coffee.

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going?
Coffee, gatorade, or beer (or any other alcholic beverage). I'm not kidding.

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not?
Yes and no. Sometimes I drink water like a camel and just gulp it all down, but also like a camel, I can do long periods of time without it.

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink(s)? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!)
Sex on the beach is pretty good: 1 oz. Vodka, 1 oz. Peach Schnapps, 3 oz. Cranberry Juice, 3 oz. Orange or Pineapple Juice. Add several ice cubes to a highball glass. Pour in all ingredients and stir.
Gin and Tonic: 2 oz Gin, Tonic Water, Ice. Pour gin into a glass 1/4 full of ice cubes and fill with tonic water.
Pina Colada: 3 oz Light Rum, 3 tbsp Coconut Milk, 5 tbsp Crushed Pineapple, 2 cubs Ice. Blend at high speed until smooth. Strain into a glass and serve with a straw. Top with a pineapple wedge and a cherry.
Strawberry Daiquiri: 1 oz Light Rum, 1/2 oz Strawberry Schnapps, 1 oz Lime Juice, 2 tsp Powdered Sugar, 2 oz Fresh or Frozen Strawberries, Crushed Ice, Whipped Cream. Dip the rim of a glass in strawberry juice and coat it with sugar. Shake all ingredients well with crushed ice and pour into the sugar coated glass. Top with whipped cream and a whole fresh strawberry.
Tahiti Dance Club: 2 oz Light Rum, 1 tbsp Lemon Juice, 1 tbsp Lime Juice, 1 tbsp Pineapple Juice, 1/2 tsp Maraschino, Ice. Shake with ice and strain into a glass half filled with ice cubes. Top with a slice of lemon.

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so?
Yes, most definitely. I take it black as night, sweet as sin. ;)

Friday Five :: Travel Style

This week, you get your choice between 2 sets of questions. If you want to answer both, we certainly won't stop you! *g*

Theme: International Travel

   1. You have the summer and plenty of money to travel abroad. Where all would you go?
Probably to all the European/Asian countries I still have left to vist.

   2. What foods would you be sure you got to eat?
Local cusine. Try a little something cultural from each place.

   3. What landmarks would you be sure you got to see?
All the famous places and then just wander because that's when you have the most fun.

   4. What airline would you use?
JetBlue

   5. Would your knowledge of other languages influence where you went? (i.e. would you be more likely to go to France if you spoke French)
Um, I don't think so, mostly because I can speak many different languages and I just think that even if I couldn't understand a word of what other said I could probably figure it out or find a way to communicate.

Theme: USA Road Trip

   1. Who would you take with you on a road trip?
ALL MY US FRIENDS. D: We would have to carpool and make a chain of about 15 cars, but it would be sooo awesome. xD

   2. What states would you visit?
ALL OF THEM. XD Or as many as possible. Definitely stop in Lousianna, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, California, Washington, Florida, Montana, and Vermont.

   3. What national parks and/or monuments would you go see?
I... dunno? Lol~

   4. Las Vegas: Overrated or a Must-See?
Must-see. XD It's gorgeous, a bit overrated, but still a sight to see, definitely.

   5. How long would you be gone?
Pft! As long as possible. I'd only come back when I run outta money or something really REALLY important calls me away.

DOUBLE THE PLEASURE, DOUBLE THE FUN!
