another interview!

[jemz]

because teh wonderful meredyth_13 interrogated asked me some loffly questions.



1. You say you live in the bay area - which bay? and if you didn't always live there, where else have you lived, and what is the most significant thing you remember about each place you've lived?

I live a few heart beats from the center of the Silicon Valley in California. Otherwise known as the Bay Area (for us locals), the GAY area (for all the hatersand homophobic), and the YAY area (for those who love Crunk *some sort of rap style cuz it's all good from the hoods of Oakland* and the hip hop scene). I resided in the strange Lone Star state of Texas for the first decade of my life. I remember rainbows during summer showers, playing in the snow and making snow angels, fourth of july bbqs in HUGE multi-acre lots with lots of firecrackers, and learning how to fall on my ass ungraciously while roller skating. While currently living in Nor. Cali, I remember the hairstyles of my cousins, being teased for a Texan accent (which disappeared for self-preservation purposes), pouting over the lack of a proper snowy winter for my birthday, living in a cramped place (because i loved my old backyard), and all the family get togethers (because i adored my cousins even if i was a mischievious brat).

2. What was your first anime passion, and what was it that drew you in?
I don't remember the series that got me hooked but I remember loving the friends I had during that time. I remember watching cartoons all my childhood and it progressed into Japanese anime. I remember leaving anime behind to apply my few brain cells to my studies to get into college. Once in college, Fushigi Yuugi sucked me right back into anime. The storyline, the artwork, the hawt characters made me want more. Then I got addicted to many others...Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X, Love Hina, X, Weiss Kruss, Initial D, Naruto, Prince of Tennis, etc.) It helped that a lot of my male friends would supply me with anime....with much teasing for liking the "girly" ones.

3. If you could be a Harry Potter character for one day, which character would you be, when (which of the 7 years at Hogwarts), and what would you do for that day?
oooooooh. a tough question. I would pick to be Hermione because she's a smart-ass. I don't quite have all her studying skills but I do have her thirst for knowledge. I get curious over the silliest things. I don't have many friends but the ones I do, I cherish, keep, and adore. I would probably relish in running amok with Harry and Ron, punching Draco (even if my Draco!muse will hurt me later for it. >.> ), sitting in the library and read all those wonderful books, and enjoy the day in its entirety. umm....yah...why did i feel that my ravenclaw side just took over for a moment?!

4. If you could have the choice of either a) being able to sing beautifully, b) being able to draw like a master, or c) being able to write a masterpiece, which would you choose, and why?
If I had a choice, I would choose to draw like a master. That answer popped into my head immediately when I read it. I paused for a bit to consider the singing beautifully but I felt the urge to stick to drawing like a master. Writing a masterpiece is wonderful and all but it implies that you are known for one work of literature. Singing and drawing are more similar to me in that they can be changed and improved upon. They can be done anywhere. Singing is pretty hard....and i love to do it in the shower. But drawing...*sighs* i love art and looking at it. I like the different mediums used to draw. I love the simple lines or the layered paint. Art can be done at any time and be used to express any emotion.

5. (pron) What's the single act lowest on your squick list that you can actually imagine you might be convinced to do with the right partner?
errrrr....

<.<

>.>

darn you! i wouldn't really do any of my squicks or even my kinks! because i'm just shy like that. *snerks* but yah....i would probably do the rimming thing because that squick is totally dying under everyone's influences. need to bury that squick pretty soon. *sniffles*



now that i've bared some of my soul, ask me to interrogate interview you and i'll ask u some questions!


heheh...on another note, i caved in and bought Il Divo because they're so damn hawt and i wanna jump them they sing so damn wonderfully. <3 the remix they did of Toni Braxton's Unbreak My Heart!!! *happy sigh* I need them and Michael Buble in my room, singing me to sleep every single night. *wishes*

Haha I don't know if I would do most of the kinks I read and write in real life. I was with someone who was a bit into powerplay and I just wanted to fight back. And I really don't squick easily, unless it's chan or bodily waste products or extreme bdsm... :p

Cali ♥

*insert evil cackling*

ready, my dear?

1. Hmmm...I just met you recently. If we were to hang out in RL, what would we do to pass the time?

2. Slash is very addictive. Name your guilty pleasure OTP in Harry Potter. Why is it your guilty OTP?

3. "One time, in band camp....." What instrument do you like playing the best and tell us a funny story about band and/or band camp.

4. If you were stuck inside a cabin in the midst of a blizzard, what are 5 items and 5 people you want with you to share the warmth of a cozy fire?

5. What got you into writing and why do you continue to write? What brings you inspiration for your writings?

umm...yeah...dorky questions, i know. =-P

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

yes! it will soon own me.....want to debauch me first? *sly wink*

*gropes*

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the wonderful insights... I would have loved to hear your old accent!

Hope you get to kill that squick *winks*

*hugs*

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

thanks for the wonderful questions!!!! I liked answering them. haha...i wish i had my old accent too.....

as for the squick...must find a hot guy *winks* then it won't be a squick anymore!!!!!

*huggles*

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

d'oh!....i thought i posted the questions to ya last nite?! oh man.....here are some questions just for you!

1. You're currently observing some very kinky orangutangs. What prompted you into studying monkeys and what sort of career do you hope this will pave the way to?

2. If you got to live anywhere and any timeframe in the world (both real and imaginary), where would you live and why?

3. Kinkiness ties us together. Select a favorite kink and a squick. Explain why one is so damn sexy and the other you can never just pimp it out.

4. The faint blush on the cheeks, the soft breathy smile, the shy eyes. Tell us about an incredibly embarrassing moment in your life.

5. Life offers many opportunities. What's the one thing that you've regretted in the past that you would do over again if given a second chance?

hehe...*insert naughty laughter here*

1. We would go and do my ultimate relax!trip; we would go to this fabulous ramen place that I know and stuff ourselves for lunch. Seriously, they give these huge gigantic bowls that are like, a foot in diameter. And ladies and gentlemen, these bowls are less than ten dollars. Cheapest meal is 5.75 (soy sauce flavor pork ramen with bamboo shoots and some seaweed). For like, 50 cents more, you get miso. There are free refills of water (which isn't that remarkable) but we can go to the nearby Japanese grocery store and get some drinks there for a couple of dollars (max). After we are properly stuff (and probably carrying the leftovers), we would go poke around in the grocery store (which is more fascinating that it sounds. Candy, drinks, magazines, what's not to like? -^.^-) and this other Japanese store that has a gajillion odds and ends. I love that place. You can buy 1000 sheets origami paper without going broke ^________^ After we've tired of that, we would hop on the subway and go over to another place that I know. It sells anime and manga, and if you don't like that, we can poke around other various stores at the square. And if we're tired of walking, we can just hang around in the square, watch any acts that may be performing, and just talk :)

2. It isn't really guilty.... HD Why? Fairytale (http://www.twilight.me.uk/mfic1.htm). It's just so- ♥

3. I play the flute and I do love it, but it can get kind of frustrating playing it in band. Honestly, I love hte sound of the French Horn the best. The sound is just so right and full *huggles*. As for funny stories. Well. Two, off the tope of my head:
a. Right now, we're playing Godzilla goes to Las Vegas. On the first page of my music, there's this part where some parts of the band are supposed to clap. Or, excuse, clap APPROVINGLY as if they were at a cocktail party. Then there's also a part where two percussions guys have to howl/scream. You should hear them go at it. The sad thing is, there's a part where the flutes are supposed to scream, and the sad thing is, two guys pwn us, 12 girls, in both volume, and highness of pitch.
b. At the beginning of the year, the band director bet us that we wouldn't get past $100 per person in sales for our band fundraiser. If we did, he would put $1000 into the fund for taiko drums, and dance on a table in a kimono.

We got the $100 per student. So our band director (who's rather, I won't say fat, but definitely not thin) dresses up as a Japanese prostitute, got up on that table, and waved his fat ass around. EVERYONE was cracking up. The ladies dressing him up handed me a camera, and I started shooting pics -^.^- Unfortunately, I haven't seen the pictures since. But fond memories.... *wicked grin* So yeah. We were playing a piece that had a gajillion cues, so Mr. D started dancing around, pretending to throw out cues. When we stopped cuz we were all laughing, I just stage whispered, "put on a kimono!" good times -^.^-

And now I'll post another comment, because i think I'm close to exceeding the limit....

4. I would bring popcorn, a shiteload of DVDs (if that counts as one object. If not, I choose spaceballs), DVD player, gigantic TV/plasma screen/whatnot. And pillows/blankets. I would want saoni along because she is the one on LJ that I have whined talked to the most about personal stuff, AND I get along with her quite well :) I would also want broi around; I talk to her almost every time I'm on msn (I should probably go on msn more....) and I do honestly enjoy hanging out with her. At this point, I'm almost halfway through my friend!allotment, and I have no clue if I want to invite RL friends. There are two friends that I may want around, but I don't hang out with one of them as much as I used to, and my two friends are insanely close to each other. I do believe I want you around too :) Get to know you a bit better, and you can show me some salsa dance ;) Other than that, I honestly have no clue. My RL!friends are kind of getting the shaft though. Why? I'm that much nicer online ;P

5. I've actually had like, 3 waves of writing. The first one was brought about my lurking in the HP fandom. Then one night, my brother ran out because he was pissed at my parents, my mom went after him, and tensions were running high. I was freaking out, so I sneaked onto the computer and started writing. Perfect was the result. I didn't post anything for quite a while. But then all of a sudden (I can't remember why) I started writing more. Including my "prologue" to my "epic" HD romance (it was supposed to be a long story. Yeah, now it's just a one-shot.... ;P) Then all of a sudden, I started writing and posting. The result would be much of what's on my fanfiction.net account. I believe that was late last school year, going to most of last summer.... Then my second wave; that was mostly drabble for hd100. That was mostly inspired by me being insanely depressed in my life. I think that was around winter. Then I dropped off when I kept on being miserable. It got to the point where I felt like I was just repeating stuff, where I was sick of saying how I felt, and just stopped. Now I'm re-starting my third wave. I have no clue what I'm running on this time, but I seem to be writing a lot of smut/innuendo!drabble.... I'm definitely not complaining though! -^.~-

psht. not as dorky as me :)

[motovif.livejournal.com]

Oh, Unbreak My Heart! *squees* I love that song. Saaay you'll love me agaaaain

Me, me, me! ^_^

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

ooooooooooooooooh! i love going to the Japanese stores.....i'm such an anime nut. <3 their candy. ^_____^

*laughs* that's a good director!!!! willing to go through the lengths to raise money for you guys!!! must have been a great memory. wish we had a pensieve so that you can share!

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

I'll be happy to show you how to salsa....or ballroom or swing! :-D

heheh...movie nites are fun.....esp. girly movie nights! force the boys to sit through a ton of utter sap and laugh constantly.

writing is definately a good release. i tend to curl up and read when i'm depressed or stressed.....i just started writing, little pieces here and there...

i'm a total dork...even in my old age!

[allara.livejournal.com]

I actually have a guy-friend that likes chick flicks.

Yeah, I'll probably end up showing you my two left feet *blush*

[allara.livejournal.com]

I wish so too :) oh man, the kimono, the desk, it was PERFECT

[dramaphile.livejournal.com]

Japanese Markets are the best!! There's a cool one in San Diego that sells the most fabulous random things there! I am addicted to these folder things that are really skinny plastic boxes to stick your papers in and I can find them nowhere else! I do hope they never stop carrying them or I may have to cry a lot.

And it's the only place I can find my aero bars, which aren't really Japanese, but they have them there. yum yum.

[allara.livejournal.com]

last time I went to the Japanese store that I live by, I got a pencil case. I never use it, but it's pretty -^.^-

[dramaphile.livejournal.com]

yeah, that's like half of what I buy there. it's pretty, but I never end up using it. :)

[allara.livejournal.com]

I've even gotten pencils at that place. Absolutely wonderful pencils too. I ALSO got lotion -^.^- smells good :) and like, 4 things of 500 sheets of origami paper ;)

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

*guh* i love the guys singing that song too! and they do it in Italian. *loves*

1. Life seems pretty hectic for you and the pressures seem to be holding you down. What are some of your favorite things to do to relieve the stress and pressure and cheer you up a bit?

2. War and politics aside, the state of the world is at hand. What is a world issue that you are willing to devote your entire life to and why?
