~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Favorite Book and reason why you love it.
I've got to say that my favorite book (or what I can think of now) would be The Sorrows of Young Werther. YES, I KNOW IT'S A REALLY HARD TO DIGEST BOOK TO SOME AND I ONLY READ IT BECAUSE OF CLASS REQUIREMENTS, but in retrospect I really related to the narrator because he was pursuing a woman he knew he could never have and ultimately (spoiler!) commits suicide. Around that time I was coping with my first and only rejection from a very dear friend of mine. There was seriously one part when the character reads a poem to his love interest and I started sobbing grossly. And then I wrote an introspective letter to myself. Ah, the feels.
2. Do you play an instrument? If not what instrument would you like to learn?
I learned how to play the piano around 6th grade, but I stopped taking lessons last year because high school was getting really stressful. I also took guitar classes when I was in 2nd grade but I was discouraged because I was using an adult-sized guitar and my wee little fingers couldn't hold frets and got blisters. I wimped out and have regretted it ever since.
3. Besides your native language do you know other languages?
Well, my first language was Burmese (my family's from Myanmar!), so I guess my secondary language would be English, though I admit my Burmese sucks right now. My mom's teaching me the alphabet right now, so hopefully I'll get better. I also took Spanish classes since elementary, but after AP Spanish last year I forgot most of it. :'D
4. Do you stick to liking a specific genre of music or are you willing to listen to all types of music so long as you like them?
I'm not that picky when it comes to music. Whatever strikes my fancy (which I cannot really categorize), I'll pick up. Something with a good beat, clever lyrics, impressive instrument playing, the works. But I can't listen to heavy metal or rap. I've tried. It hurts my head. @_@
5. Dream vacation?
A trip through all the parts of Japan via those cross-country trains.
6. Favorite childhood memory?
We have a small backyard, and every year we'd plant these giant gourds that'd grow by vines and hang down from a wire roof thing. I loved holding those, because they were home-grown and kinda fuzzy to the touch and bigger than my head. Nowadays there's something in our backyard that's killing all of our plants, so I sorta miss those times...
7. What is your talent?
People say I have a pretty voice. And I like building stuff out of paper and hot glue guns. Oh, and making clay stuff. :3
8. Favorite Artist, please give reason why you enjoy listening to them, and a song you recommend.
My favorite artist of all time is Hikaru Utada for many reasons. Her song Passion was my introduction to Japanese music, and her versatility and wide vocal range really impress me. Plus, she's fluent in Japanese and English and I want to be like that too. AND. She's a pretty skilled Tetris player. Hehehe. ^^"
9. Most silliest thing you’ve done.
One time my cousin tried buying some chips from a school vending machine and the bag got stuck. I tried to get it out for her by shaking the machine but the vice principal came to stop me because apparently I was shaking it very dangerously. ;w;
10. Favorite type of ice cream.
Mint chocolate chip. ♥
11. What is the song you most listen to?
There's no one song that I listen to most. But recently I've been playing Shiver by Shawn Desman a lot because I never knew Canadians made such nice songs that never get around to the US. :O
=======================================
1. What is your name?
Shannon.
2. Favorite fandom:
The Korra fandom. Every time I see an Amon pun/joke I just start spazzing, haha.
3. Favorite horribly written fanfic:
I don't really read fanfics, so I can't answer. D:
4. Favorite crackship:
Gintoki and Otose from Gintama lmfao just what.
5. Some really obscure thing about yourself that you’d like to share:
Sometimes when I flex my right ankle it makes a huge snap sound. It kinda sucks when I'm trying to ninja around. :c
6. Coke, Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper?
Butterbeer Dr. Pepper. Though I prefer Sprite/Sierra Mist more.
7. The movie that you had seen most recently:
Rio. Yeah, I don't really watch movies. I see trailers and go "Omigawsh I have to watch that!" and totally forget. ;_;
8. Favorite fictional character that you’d have your way with:
Ughhh why would you make me choose Uhm maybe Shizuo from DRRR! because chucking giant objects in midair is pretty manly and he has glasses (megusta) and dresses spiffy. I feel like he'd be a caring boyfriend. Too bad about the smoking, but it's okay he makes it attractive.
9. A favorite memory of yours:
Back when my brother and I were in elementary school and shared a room, we took one of the mattresses off of the bed stand thing and drew a Pokemon stadium on the wood with a Crayola marker. In the night, we'd take flashlights and have Pokemon battles with little Pokemon toys and keychains we'd pick up from random merchandise or from McDonalds.
10. Do you like to reenact scenes from your favorite movie or tv show when no one’s looking?
... you been watching me, fool? Jk. Sometimes I like doing quotes. :D
