marigorbital replied to your post “i’m sad and anxious about the start of the new semester. what anime...”

Sorry to hear you're sad and anxious. D: Well, Princess Jellyfish usually makes me smile. I don't know if you've seen it? Hope you feel better!

hey, thanks! i’m feeling better now. I have seen Princess Jellyfish. Actually, one of my friends and i watched the live action version last night.

For the question thing, if you're still doing it: 11, 17, 29. :)

Yep! I’ll do it to the end of time, if people keep sending them. 

11.describe your ideal day.

ha! My ideal is probably 30 hours. In my ideal day, I wake up not later 8 am and then I write for the next four hours, hopefully getting at least 1000 words if not more. Sometime during that four hours, I eat breakfast. The next 3-4 hours I spend doing something else, like playing piano, playing video games, watching the anime, etc. Then, in late afternoon, my neighbor/childhood friend invites me out to do something--sometimes hanging out at his house, sometimes going to the pool, sometimes going to a concert/play/etc--usually accompanied by other childhood friend. If there are other people, during the ideal day, we’ll get along and get along and not fight/nearly fight about IMPORTANT THINGS (lol teasing is ok; many of the relationships seem to be built on teasing).

17.would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?

No. I’m quieter on tumblr than irl (I’m still a quiet person irl but not soo much). I’ve figured out how social interactions mostly work irl and have figured out how to sometimes actively make friends, but on tumblr I don’t have all of that figured out (I have guesses on how to make it happen--talking into people’s inboxes or posting a lot about yourself--but knowing that and having the guts to consistently do it is different). There’s other stuff too, but most of the differences stem from being quieter.

29. three songs that you connect with right now.

1. Lost in The Stars -- written by Kurt Weill; my favorite version on iTunes is one by Abbey Lincoln 

2. Teen Idle -- Marina and the Diamonds

3. White Bird -- It’s A Beautiful Day

Thanks for asking!

Aww! Thanks for tagging me! Sorry this took so long ; 0 ;

1. What’s your favorite piece of clothing and why?

My hoddie, because it’s the most comfortable piece of clothing humanity has created and I love it ESPECIALLY when it’s someone’s hoddie and I appreciate a lot that person

2. Do you have any collections? If so, what?

Does manga and anime merch count? Because recently I’m obsessed with them Also I got a lot of books ^^

3. Favorite story of your childhood?

When I was 5 years old and I run away from my new kinder with my cousin beacuse we wanted to get home early instead of waiting for someone to come for us. The teacher didn’t notice we were gone it until my uncle arrived and asked for us and everybody started to panic except my uncle, he just stayed calm and called my grandma to ask if we were there and she laughed with a “yes”.

4. What’s a hidden talent of yours?

I don’t think I have a hidden talent tbh ....^^; maybe if you consider the fact that sometimes no one notices when I’m in a room so I scare the shit out of people when they finally see me. My friends told me I’m like Kuroko :’D

5. Which of the five senses would you be willing to get rid of if you had to?

Smell, not only that but take touch, take taste but never my sight and hearing o__o I seriously don’t wanna live without them

6. Song you would play at your funeral?

I HAVE SO MANY SONGS I SWEAR FKJLKSSFKL I got like 10 but mainly I want Clarity - Sam Tsui cover and Human - Christina Perri. Bascially I love almost all the covers from San Tsui, Alex Goot, Kurt Schneider so It’s hard to choose. I want a lot of songs that actually remind me of good memories. There’s also a band that I loved it when I was twelve (and I still love but they got separated T___T) all their songs are in Spanish btw. I want a few songs in other languages, I actually speak basic Italian and Japanase so I understand them and there are such beautiful songs that I love so much.

7. Favorite children’s book when you were little?

The little mermaid? Even when I discovered the original story, I was always fascinated by creatures like mermaids, fairies, witches, wizards, and that kind of stories  ^-^/ Also I love mithology and fantasy creatures

8. Is there any encounter with a stranger that has stayed with you? What happened/what did they say?

When I was early at the airport and I wanted a coffee BUT in the Starbucks there was no tables so I figured I would‘ve to stand or sit in the floor when a guy near me said that it was fine if we shared the table since he was alone and well I was ok with that. We started talking about basic stuff but I wasn’t going to give him info about me so I invented myself a complete new life and told him, I even changed my whole name. It was funny tbh

9. What’s the anime/manga that made you realize you were a fan? No turning back, you’re in this world forever now.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, ok first I watched the 2003 anime and I hated it but then I read some reviews that disliked the anime as much as I did and they wrote that the story wasn’t even close to the manga so that was why it was terrible and etc SO I discovered the FMA manga, I read it in one week and I wanted to punch myself in the face for saying stuff like “I watched FMA and it was terrible” BUT IT WASN’T IT WAS JUST THE FIRST ANIME. Just then the 2009 anime, Fullmetal Alchemist BROTHERHOOD finished and I read the reviews again that were talking about how good it was that I got really excited and I watched all of it in less than two days so yeah I think that’s how I realized that I would be stuck in this world forever.

10. What scent deodorant and/or perfume do you prefer?

I don’t really know, I just use the brand that my mom gave me ^^ I don’t even use perfume often ; o ;

11. The ocean, the sky, or space?

It’s hard for me to choose between the ocean and the sky since I was raised in a town surrounded by mountain and under a beautiful sky but I like the ocean two, it amazes me. Now I moved and I live far away from my hometown so I miss the moutain, the fresh air and the sky since here there’s much pollution and the “sky“ is grey and horrible but I’m close to the ocean now so...

....I want both, the ocean and a beautiul sky but if I have to choose it would be the sky

 01. what’s the last dream you can remember having? 

Last night I had a dream about Animal Crossing, which I don’t even play except once in a blue moon. But I was going around catching butterflies and other insects in my virtual net. 

02. what’s the most played song/artist in your music library? 

“The Perfect Crime #2″ by the Decemberists, followed by “What’s the Use of Wond’rin” by Amanda Palmer.

03. the best season/series finale in your opinion. 

04. favorite lotion/bodywash scent.

I used to be that kid who would smell everything at Bath & Body Works, but I think I overdid that b/c now most scented things smell super artificial to me. This year I’ve used some of this lotion made out of goat milk which has a super strong “you’ve gotta get used to it” type of smell and I enjoy my friends’ reactions when I use it. 

05. name something that makes you nostalgic and explain why. 

Pretty much everything. I just graduated from high school, so everywhere I look reminds me of childhood. But probably my neighbor’s backyard makes me the most nostalgic b/c he and I had so many imagination games there.

06. if you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life what would you pick? 

This one is hard. Probably either the 2nd or 3rd Lord of the Rings. The movies are magnificent and very full.

07. what’s a trope used in yr media of choice that you’re really sick of?

Since this is a fanfic blog...I’m pretty sick of proposal fics honestly. Most of the adults I know decided to get married together as opposed to one making a grandiose proposal. Although there was this one young justice fic where the guy tried to propose but was to nervous to speak and the girl knew what he was doing so just proposed to him instead.

Since I’ve got this soapbox, I’ll say that I think soul mate aus are overused and underutilized. Not bad per se, but the fics never seem interested in exploring the idea of fate, which is what the creative writing student in me wants to see.

08. if you could tell every single person in the entire world just one thing, what would it be?

Are we talking a word, sentence, or speech? I would tell everyone to try to relate to others and that the best way of doing that is imagining their lives or your lives as a novel/movie/etc. with a sympathetic protagonist and use that as a venue for relating to them and them relating to you. 

09. a song you want played at your funeral.

idk not super religious music, maybe a somewhat sad but majestic song like “Bolero” by Ravel. 

10. what does your favorite pair of socks look like? 

They are toe socks and they have a thick blue band at the toes and at the heel but are otherwise made up of skinny stripes of blue, green, yellow, and white. 

11. favorite meme. ONLY ONE.

rick rolling 

my questions: 

1. Which character in any given fandom do you relate to the most and why?

2. What artistic discipline (eg theater visual arts etc) do you wish you had more ability in?

3. What’s your dream location to live in?

4. Favorite Christmas song?

5. How well do you sleep at night?

6. What did/does your childhood room look like?

7. As you’ve matured, what’s changed the most about you?

8. Favorite season? 

9. Showers or baths? 

10. Movies or TV shows? 

11. First fandom for which you read fanfiction?

If you want to know more about me...

Tagged by: marigorbital indirectly

Name: Katharine Time and Date: 12:42 June 15 2015 Average Hours of Sleep per Night: probably 7-8; I have trouble sleeping in Nicknames: Nicknames don’t really seem to stick. Some people have called me by my last name and my mother frequently calls me by her sister’s name... Birthday: November 28 Sexual Orientation: for a long time I’ve thought I was straight, but I’ve now occasionally been attracted to girls, so I guess I’m bi. Height: rounds up to 5′3″. ~159 cm Favorite Colours: blue One Place That Makes Me Happy: my neighbor’s house.  Favourite Movie: much more of a tv person than a movie person. I’m not sure if I have a favorite. What I Am Wearing Right Now: an overlarge Guild Wars t-shirt that used to be my cousins but is now my pajamas. I wish I was dressed in something nice to describe.  Last Book I Read: Last book I finished was Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Backlash. Next book I will probably will finish will be its sequel. But I’m also currently reading the first Harry Potter book in French.  Most Used Phrase: I’m not sure what stand alone phrase, but my verbal ticks include adding “or whatever” or “if that makes sense” to the end of statement.  First Word That Comes to Mind: how. as in “how can anybody actually answer this question?” What I Said Last Night to a Family Member: After talking about the history of Burma with my father, “Okay, I’m going to my room now. Good night.” Favourite Drink/Beverage: Hot Tea and Orange Juice. Favourite Food: Does ice cream count? And also blueberries. Last Movie I Saw in Theaters: Mad Max: Fury Road. Dream Vacation: I don’t think I really have one. I really like travelling so as long as I’m going somewhere relatively new, I enjoy it. Along with obvious places, I think New Zealand would be a visually really cool place to visit. But I think the idea of living somewhere for a while and really getting to know the place appeals to me more.  Dream Wedding: I’m not sure; it won’t happen anytime soon. The prettiest wedding I’ve ever been to was one in the North Carolina Appalachians, but I’m sure it was super expensive. Maybe at one of the state parks near wherever I’m living (assuming I’m still in the states) but nothing too big or expensive. I’d rather spend the money on something else.  Dream Pet: I’m a cat person and already have cats that I love (one is a calico and the other two are aging grey tabbies). But sometimes I think I’d like to have a dog, if it wasn’t a big one that jumped on me. One of my friends has a part-italian greyhound, part-mutt dog that I really like.  Dream job: I live a double life--one of arts and writing, one of math and science--so I have double dream jobs. One dream job is to be a main writer on tv shows (writing the occasional novel); the other is to be an engineer whose job takes her around the world and lets her help people and help curb climate change

marigorbital replied to your post “I guess one good thing about never being able to rely on people is...”

Ahh. I have a dolly! You should have mentioned something, so I could've lent you it. ._. Sad about the ruined furniture though. :/

awww poop, I never thought to bring it up because I honestly just remembered a few minutes ago tomorrow (today if you wanna be technical) is the first Saturday of the month. Thanks for offering though!
