1. How old are you?
I am allowed to say “in my 20s” for eleven more months.
2. What’s your current job?
I’m a full-time student/roleplayer/nerd.
3. What are you talented at? Singing. Writing. Teaching.
4. What is a big goal you are working toward (or have already achieved)?
I should have finished my AA by next semester.
5. What’s your aesthetic?
Bubble gum pop (pink, sparkles, pigtails, poofy skirts, Disney Princesses, Morning Musume) by way of nihilistic depression and anxious ridden whiner (stars, black, silver, the moon, the sound of being alone in the woods at night, Law and Order: SVU, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Do As Infinity) with a splash of Warrior Queen (dragons, swords, feminist icons, Sailor Moon, Carrie Fischer, flames, storms, the sun, Amuro Namie)
6. Do you collect anything?
Have y’all seen my wall of manga because like. It’s. Yeah. I actually am trying not to actively “collect” anything right now, because I have way too much shit. I am an absolute sucker for Disney Princess pins and any new stuff they have in the Pirates Pavilion when I go through. (They haven’t had anything new in a while, though, but the last time I went was like fourteen months ago when DMTNT was still in production so)
7. What’s a topic you always talk about?
J-idols. Roleplaying. The Tudors. Sailor Moon. Singing. How much I hate statistics.
8. What’s a pet peeve of yours?
Man I have so many pet peeves, let’s just leave it at “Mari is a petty fucking bitch”. (She tries to suppress it, but she is quietly bothered by a lot of things before she manages to remind herself that humans are all human and other people are allowed to be stupid sometimes.)
9. Good advice to give?
Let go. That thing you’re holding onto? That rock in the pit of your stomach? That tension in your shoulders? Let it go. You will be so much happier. You can only do your best every day, and sometimes your best won’t measure up to your expectations, and that’s okay. That’s all everyone else is ever doing, too.
10. What are three songs you’d recommend?
Fighter - Amuro Namie
Bad Habit - Amuro Namie
Show Me What You’ve Got - Amuro Namie (are you sensing a theme here)
