#ching!

Thebibi's questions:

1. What were your favorite toys/games growing up? A Michelangelo (of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) action figure that was given to me as a Christmas present. It had an arm that would move when you pressed a tiny button, so that it looks like he was spinning his nunchaku around.

2. Favorite comfort food? Er... coffee? It's not exactly food, yes, but it's something that does help me relax (there's also booze like beer and sake that works better if I had a reaally long day at work... can that be considered comfort food??) Also, chocolates with fruits&nuts and sometimes cheesecake (as long as they aren't too sweet).

3. Ideally, how would like to consume manga and anime? Uh, chop it up into tiny little pieces to make a salad and add an unhealthy dallop of mayonnaise? Alternatively, maybe blend into a drink with alcohol and set it on fire like a Flaming Lamborghini...? (actually, I'm not quite sure what you mean by this question... ^^; ) Seriously though, if I could afford it, I'd like to purchase all the manga volumes of my favourite series. I don't know if I would even spend that much on buying complete DVD sets, so I suppose the best way for me to consume anime is via Torrent.

4. Name a genre of anime/music/tvshow/book that you weren’t expecting to like, but like regardless. I am not a huge fan of magical-girl genres, so it was a pleasant surprise to know that I liked and enjoyed PMMM (though I still have some issues with the ending... it felt a little underwhelming and cliche, and I thought it could have been better. But overall, I do still like it enough).

5. If Tumblr was your job, what would you change about your blog? You mean if I was paid to blog on Tumblr? XD Hmm, I'd probably keep reblogging the same things, maybe with more cats. And I would probably write more character discussions/analyses or animaga/book/tv show reviews and such. Or perhaps even do fic giveaways (I mean hey if people are paying me to blog, why not?)

I would probably troll more too, just for the hell of it, lmao.

6. When did you grow up? Was it a feeling, a day, through an experience? I think... I'm still growing up, sort of. Like, there are some days where I think I've 'been there, done that' and that I know all the adult stuff that I'm supposed to know as an adult.... only to experience something, or meet and talk to people (regardless of whether they are older or younger than me) and I suddenly realise that maybe I haven't finished growing up yet. Because I still learn something I don't know, or haven't really thought about. And that's both a scary and intriguing feeling.

I feel a lot older than several years ago, of course, but at the same time, I also still feel a bit like how I was when I was 10 or 17 or sometimes even 23-ish or so. I don't quite not how to describe it, but it really does feel that way. So I'd say 'growing up' feels more like a gradual experience for me, and not 'a day' or a single emotion on its own. To me, it's many days and many emotions that builds and meshes together over time; shaping and re-shaping my outlook about things and people overall.

7. Are you religious/spiritual? I'm not religious anymore, that's for certain. Not quite sure about spiritual though (maybe? sometimes? idk) I do have my own principles and beliefs in life, and I suppose that's good enough for now.

8. What kind of cellphone do you have at the moment? Sony Xperia Go.

9. What websites do you visit besides Tumblr? Livejournal, Dreamwidth... um, sometimes I glance through new sites like Al-Jazeera, BBC, CNN. Also, Pixiv, Tegaki and dA for art, and AO3 and FF.net for fic. And FB, if I remember to check it, even. lol.

10. Your ideal anime/manga consists of ____, ____, & ____. Great dialogues/characterizations, gadgets and a healthy dose of ridiculousness/humour.

11. Favorite meme at the moment? Can't think of any, tbh ^^;

My Questions: 1. What's your favourite type of pet? 2. If your life was set in an alternate-universe, what would it be? 3. Team Rocket or Ash Ketchum & his friends: which group would you choose to be with, and why? 4. Bronze, Gold or Silver? 5. Think of a person you haven't met in a long time and wish you could see just once more: what would you say to them? 6. Something that you wished was portrayed better in film/tv/media. 7. Actual books versus E-books. 8. Have you ever thought of revenge / taken revenge? 9. Have you ever prank-called someone? 10. Something you wished your school/college had. 11. Favourite snack(s) from the convenience store.
