Keyi's questions
6 words to summarize your school years? Seemed utterly torturous but actually enjoyable.
When do you see yourself getting tired of tumblr? When my friends leave. I would have abandoned this long ago if it weren't for them.
Do you talk to your mother more, or your father? I talk to my mom more often than my dad but hmm, I guess you could say that my dad knows me more. He's a quiet guy who picks up on stuff quickly so I often don't have to tell him everything.
Life after death? What would it be like? I never used to think about it but I was rewatching one of the first few Sailor Moon episodes a few years ago and I don't quite remember the situation, but something was said about fainting (I think it was that) being like sleeping forever. Ever since then, I've associated death to being like falling asleep, minus the dreaming aspect.
If you could travel back in time and give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would you say? Probably someone along the lines of, "Things might play out as they should but they only play out that way is if someone makes an effort to let it happen. Don't expect things to just happen or else they won't."
Where is the most memorable place you have gone to the washroom? I honestly don't quite know how to answer this question. I don't like going to the washroom in public places or other people's homes so uh, I can't quite answer.
Has a book/show/etc ever changed your life? If so, how? Let's leave my most favourites (FMA, Naruto, Harry Potter, PDY, Supernatural etc) out of this and let me mention Howl's Moving Castle first. I was going through a tough time when I first watched it and it made me believe in magic. Not Howl's wizard magic but Howl's and Sophie's inner magic, you know, the stuff that matters. Even if the movie affected me quite a bit (I kept trying to secretly rewatch it and my older brother kept catching me since I acted to indifferent about the movie despite it giving me so many feelings) it only did so much. Ouran High School Host Club was what got me out of that phase. I was kind of out of it but I needed something, motivation from an outside source. Tamaki, Haruhi, Hikaru, Kaoru, Mori, Honey, Kyoya and quite a few side characters - they made me incredibly happy and I relearned things I already knew but it was a very helpful reminder. I sometimes think I wouldn't be a person that I'd like if it weren't for Ouran.
What is your favourite quote? Well first of all, I think I could name at least 20 ones from FMA, of course not verbatim though. However, let's go back to Harry Potter and when this quote, "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light," was a daily reminder that I kept to myself. It also helped me during my speech on J.K. Rowling when I ended it with that quote, I finally got my teacher who kept a straight face for all of the speeches so she wouldn't show which ones she liked best, to crack a smile at it. I think that speech was one of my turning points, hell it boosted my confidence like crazy, and I count how many times I wished someone had videotaped it because I honestly spilled out my feelings to the class. It was great.
What made you laugh the hardest in your entire life? I don't know if I really laugh hard at things, other than late night giggles that occur over nothing. I've probably teared up for laughing less than five times in my life and although I can't recall them, I can recall laughing very hard over this which is the most recent thing I've teared up over because of laughing so hard. I watched it multiple times a day during a very unpleasant weekend it still made me laugh incredibly hard every time. I showed my cousin this and she ended up running to the bathroom halfway through because it was too much. The thing is, although I know what the show is about and stuff, I have virtually no idea who many of these people are. (Secret: I'm rewatching it right now and I can't stop laughing even though I can tell you exactly what's going to happen next)
What would be the title of your autobiography? "You Might Want To Grab Some Hot Chocolate first."
What is something you would like to say to me? Hey Keyi, I love you and I'm kinda serious when I say that I feel that we should really take a cross-country trip around Canada.
Maggie's questions
If you could say anything to a certain person, what would it be? Without there being any awkwardness or discomfort, I'd like to tell my last best friend that it was my fault and I could have been a much better friend.
What is your biggest regret? For having let go of things that I used to love doing because it's hard to love them again.
What is your favourite movie and why? Hmm, I can't pick one so how about my favourite romcom instead? It's 27 Dresses and I've seen it so many times that if I ever watch it with you, I'll annoy you by saying the lines with the actors so often. I love it because well, it's a fun movie and I kind of learned a lot about people through it. Also James Marsden, aka one of my favourite actors, is in it and I absolutely fell in love with his character. I don't usually care for romcoms but this stood out.
Dream career/future? I'm hoping to be a nurse, hope is the key word here.
One song that you will never skip when it comes up on your iPod. Only one? So Much Love by The Rocket Summer!
Most memorable high school experience? There's quite a few but one would be when my friends and I had a super easy project but we kept goofing off (showing each other singers that we thought were cool, showing pictures of redheads to my friend who has a special attraction to them etc) and let me just say that we were the three best students in the class too, and we literally started and finished it the lunch before we had to present and hand it in. Our project was on this guy, Sven Jaschan, who created a virus and oh wow, a lot of ongoing jokes came out of that project. We even made a mask of his face and I still have it.
Top 5 crushes (fictional or real life!) In no order whatsoever! (cough or so I say) 1. Kim Hyun Joong + the two characters he's acted as (SS501) 2. James Marsden 3. Kai (EXO and let me go hide my head in shame) 4. Hiruma (Eyeshield 21) 5. Alphonse (FMA)
A fandom you never thought you’d get into. One Piece, Bleach, Fairy Tail, D.Gray Man and any other shounen series. I said Naruto was the only long one I'd stick with but look at me now.
Silliest thing you’ve ever done? Well, last weekend I had to sweep a bit of the stage where they were going to have a break-dance battle last weekend. There was about 150 people in the crowd, 70ish of which were very attractive b-boys, and I had to sweep in front of them while the DJ, who I was assistant to, was setting up. The MC kind of ran out of things to say and when I came on, he told everyone to, "Give it up for the broom-sweeper!" and I fist pumped into the air (I had to quell my embarrassment) and it was less of me being silly but more of me feeling silly.
One thing that never fails to make you smile/laugh. Thing as in not a person, cough otherwise I would have said Kim Hyun Joong. Either way, I'm sorry but you can't make choose just one.
Favourite pokemon? You know that pokemon, it was in the game and it had eyes and a unique name. Yup, that one.
