In The Know (an interview thread)

[rocklobster]

hm. So you're earth-conscious. Well, I have a question for you.
1. Gaia's decided to revive the Planeteers and has chosen you. Which element do you think you'd get?
2. Do you watch Fox news? (note: Not really a political question)
3. Ever read Elfquest?

3. Ever read Elfquest?

1. Ummm, probably earth. My friends all accuse me of being very down-to-earth!
2. Sometimes. But I have noticed a lot of discrepancies with their reporting methods that makes me think that even though it's nice to see a different view on politics, they're horribly biased in their own ways.
3. That's a comic book, yes? TBH, I just don't follow comics ^.^" Too much else on my hands.

[Furen]

how has your life been in the last year?

[rocklobster]

1. Ever watch Azumanga Daioh?
2. Would you ever want to babysit Yotsuba?
3. Favorite Christian Rock artists?

[Atria35]

how has your life been in the last year?

Stressful. I had to get used to being back in America (I studied in England last Fall), I got rejected from my first-choice college, got accepted into the university I'm going to now too late to be able to apply for any scholarships- and various other little things that have made the year stressful.

1. Ever watch Azumanga Daioh?
2. Would you ever want to babysit Yotsuba?
3. Favorite Christian Rock artists?

1. Yep! I owned it for a while, but then realized that I dind't have the space for it/didn't like it that much. I mean, it was okay. But not enough for me to keep it.
2. YES! It would be aggravating but fun.
3. Ummm..... none. I don't really care for Christian rock, or most rock for that matter.

1. I don't care for scrolling signatures, since I always end up 'catching' on them and scrolling down them instead of down the page I wanted.
.....sorry?
2. My Brown Bear. He's a stuffed bear I've had since I was born. And he goes everywhere I do.
3. Aria series
Monster
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Summer Wars
Kara no Kyoukai
4. Moon! I'm a huge fan
5. Um, definitely! XD I remember you posting why you picked that one, and all I could think was that it was a great one!

[animefanatic777]

Nah, tis is aight, I understand =D It is kinda long XD It's surprisingly shorter then it looks though, it's just caused I pushed the 'Enter' button a lot XD

Aww! That's awesome =D I have something like that to, except it's a Jack-In-The-Box I got for my first birthday, and a Pooh pillow from when I was six =D I like that, is the bear in good condition? =D

I've never heard of ANY of those anime... I was expecting to know at least one... XD Well, if they are your favorites, then they must be good! =D

I agree with you there, the Moon reigns superior over the Sun :3 XD

And thank you very much XD I am glad you like meh screen name, and that it fits in here XD I like yours to, it rolls of the tongue, especially if pronounce the 'R' in it like an 'L', gotta love the Japanese pronunciation of things :3 XD it sounds like your favorite anime, Aria, except you have a 'T' in your name, did you mean to make it look like the anime? lol

Sorry, I asked two questions there XD Here are some more questions :3

1: If you could spend a week on tour with an artist/band, who would you wanna be with? =D

2: You win a contest to travel anywhere in the world! Where do you go? :3

3: What is it you want to do most with your life?

4: If you wrote a song, what would the first verse and chorus sound like?

5: If Elmo from Sesame Street was real, would you hang out with him? If not what would you do to him? XD

[Atria35]

Aww! That's awesome =D I have something like that to, except it's a Jack-In-The-Box I got for my first birthday, and a Pooh pillow from when I was six =D I like that, is the bear in good condition? =D

Yes! It's fantastic. Brown Bear has lasted far longer than a few of my stuffed animals over the years- he even made it to England with me! The stuffing in his legs is a little squished, but that's okay. The rest of him is still fluffy!

I've never heard of ANY of those anime... I was expecting to know at least one... XD Well, if they are your favorites, then they must be good! =D

Aw, thank you! Yeah, I tend to enjoy less-known anime. Two haven't been licensed yet! (and I doubt Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ever will- just because it's not that well-known. Which is sad, because it made me cry so much! I loved it!

Thanks for liking it! :3 I came up with the screenname long before the anime came out- I actually based it off the name of one of my favorite characters in the move Neverending Story. I had such a crush on Atreyu!

5: If Elmo from Sesame Street was real, would you hang out with him? If not what would you do to him? XD

1. I... have absolutely no idea o.O" I think I'd be too scared to, since I'd feel like I was intruding and wouldn't know what to talk about!
2. Okinawa. I hear they have killer food there! (and I like good food!)
3. Be a biologist and make the world a better place. I don't know how, be it saving an endangered species or discovering a cure for cancer, or finding a way to more effectively recycle.... but I want to make sure that people and animals stay as healthy as possible.
4. Probably like Civil-War era music (the background music to the movie Gettysburg is a good example). I would like it to be in that folk-music style, and probably start out with a line about the wind.
5. .... I love Elmo, so I'd have him introduce me to the rest of Sesame Street, and I'd probably make some cash babysitting him since he's obviously not supporting himself! lolz, but it would be pretty fun to play Hide-and-Seek with him.

[animefanatic777]

A brown bear that's life-span has lasted longer then things younger then it... Jesus loves you greatly :3 XD You live in England? O.o That's awesome! XD Do you have the accent? :3

No problem! =D You just seem like someone with good taste XD That's always good, to enjoy lesser known stuff =D I unfortunately only know the really well known stuff lol Except Slayers and Getbackers I believe >.<; And that anime is emotional? O.o I wanna watch it now... I love animes like that, like One Piece and Full Metal =D

That is awesome XD I can see the similarities, yet I can see how it's unique to your person, so I think that's pretty darn spiffy :3 yes, I just said spiffy XD lol And It's like I know who you're talking aout, yet I don't... Last time I watched that movie was like... 10 years ago XD

Now responding to your responses :3


Lol XD Tis is alright, I understand how nerve wracking it could be being with famous people and stuff O.o; I bet if you hung out with Family Force Five (Assuming you know who they are O.o ) You'd fit in just fine XD lol

Okinawa? That sounds tasty already... XD Good food is awesome :3 Is it better then Americas food? O.o And I don't mean 'Better For You' XD

Ooh, I like that! =D Wanting to change the world for other people :3 I like that a lot! =D Is that what you're trying to learn right now? Or going to do it? =D

Ooo, that sounds interesting =D I can picture it quite well actually, now it just needs to be written... XD

ELMO ROCKS. And he is to supporting himself! Remember? All he has to do is color his own world and he's doing just fine :3 He draws himself a sandwich, he's fed for lunch :3 He draws himself a house, it'll be the best house in history XD lol

Now... Questions...

1: How do you think Obama is doing? XD

2: Pirates or Ninjas?

3: Roy Mustang VS Sanji, who wins and why? :3

4: Do you like Eggnog? =D XD

5: Marvel Comics VS DC, who do you think would win, if you know about them? =D

Sorry for the simple questions, I just typed a lot... Sorry for so much words XD

[Atria35]

Well, no, but I studied there last fall. Unfortunately, I didn't pick up the accent!

Okinawa? That sounds tasty already... XD Good food is awesome :3 Is it better then Americas food? O.o And I don't mean 'Better For You' XD

I've heard that it is, which is why I want to try it or myself- I've been wanting to try all sorts of seafood when I can since it's not too fresh out here in the Midwest!

Ooh, I like that! =D Wanting to change the world for other people :3 I like that a lot! =D Is that what you're trying to learn right now? Or going to do it? =D

Yep! At least, I think that's what I'm learning to do right now It's a lot of basic classes in bio and chem, and I'm not sure how much I'll actually put into practical application

ELMO ROCKS. And he is to supporting himself! Remember? All he has to do is color his own world and he's doing just fine :3 He draws himself a sandwich, he's fed for lunch :3 He draws himself a house, it'll be the best house in history XD lol

... That's so not the Elmo I knew! Back when I was a kid, he just kinda wandered around at will- I thought he was a homeless happy kid!

1: How do you think Obama is doing? XD
2: Pirates or Ninjas?
3: Roy Mustang VS Sanji, who wins and why? :3

Sorry for the simple questions, I just typed a lot... Sorry for so much words XD

1. Indifferent. I don't think he's doing terrible (what most people don't care for is the healthcare bill, but because of some provisions, I can afford some really expensive medicine I need because I'm covered under my parents until I'm 26 now). I also don't think he's doing the best job as president that he could..... but I'm wondering how many of the things that I'm upset about aren't being pushed through by the Congress members. Presidents have virtually no power in legislation, so it's Congress who's really in charge of passing the laws.

2. Ninjas! While Pirates have the cool clothes, Ninjas can walk on water. Win.
3. Roy Mustang. Because he's too cool to lose to Sanji (sorry, Sanji!)
4. I keep trying to! Every year I have a small bit. I think I like it better than I did a few years ago.
5. No idea. I'm not big into comics, so I don't know who owns whom!

[rocklobster]

3. Turkey day plans?

1. Traveller (White Horse), USC. I admit it, I have a fondness for riding.
2. Believe it or not, I've never actually played Monopoly! o.O I haven't played all that many board games in general
3. Well, I head for home on either Tues evening or Weds morning (depending on what's better for my parents, since they have to make room for me). On Weds I help my mom make Deviled Eggs and fruit salad beforehand, so we're not swamped with cooking on Thurs. On Thurs we're cooking Thanksgiving for the.... second time in my life! (we usually go out to eat). We eat Turkey for lunch, and see the Harry Potter movie that afternoon. Leftovers for dinner

[rocklobster]

5. Ever read or watch To Kill a Mockingbird? (I highly recommend either the book or the movie)

1. Once or twice. It was never a big thing in our house. We were also usually out when it came on, at the bookstore or an early lunch (since we usually ate out for Thanksgiving- mom hates cooking, and it was just us four).
2. YES! It's the movie we're going to see on Thanksgiving Day!
3. Maybe. I wasn't happy with Prince Caspian. Epscially since that prstty much means no more Susan in Narnia.
4. Nope. I keep thinking 'one day', but I'm really just not interested in them. But I like Macross.
5. Yes- it was required reading in High School. I LOVED the book, but the guy who played Atticus Finch in the movie made me cry, he was so good.

[rocklobster]

1. Is Susan your favorite Narnia character?
2. What's your opinion of the Twilight thing?
3. Ever thought of going down to New Orleans?

[Atria35]

1. Is Susan your favorite Narnia character?
2. What's your opinion of the Twilight thing?
3. Ever thought of going down to New Orleans?

1. Yep! She was always the one I sympathized with/understood the best
2. Ergh. I get a stomachache thinking about it. I'm not into Twilight- I loathe the books and thing the movies are silly.
3. YES! But I have no one to go with me But I do want to go! I want to see the city and eat the food and just have a good time!

[rocklobster]

1. What's your favorite local attraction?
2. Hardest video game you ever played?
3. What do you normally eat for breakfast?

[Atria35]

1. What's your favorite local attraction?
2. Hardest video game you ever played?
3. What do you normally eat for breakfast?

1. Ummm.... The university? Honestly, there aren't any local attractions within 2 hours of where I am. That's how far out in the sticks I am.

2. Too many to count! I'm not very good at them, so I am only good at a few. So if it isn't Halo or The Elder Scrolls stuff, it's hard!

3. Cereal. With a banana. And a glass of water. And then I'm good to go!

[rocklobster]

1. Favorite soda?
2. Do you think we're in danger of any dystopias you've read about becoming a reality? If so, which ones?
3. Ever see Sin City?

[Atria35]

1. Favorite soda?
2. Do you think we're in danger of any dystopias you've read about becoming a reality? If so, which ones?
3. Ever see Sin City?

1. Tossup- I love Pepsi, and I love Ginger Ale!
2. I think we're in danger of some of the things happening that are in those books- genetically engineered diseases are possible, and even the most liberal (I mean generous, not political liberal) estimates of our oil reserves say that we only have enough for another 50 years without some sort of rationing. But do I think it would devolve the countries into scavenging nations a la Mad Max? No.
3. Nope!

[Furen]

1. Favorite kind of juice?
2. Worst book you had to read for a class?
3. Do you have any portable game systems (like a GBA)?

1. Orange.
2. A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemmingway. Pure trash.
3. I have a GBA! My gameboy color was stolen, so my brother gave me his GBA when he upgraded.

[rocklobster]

You should know there are Final Fantasy games on GBA. I believe all games 1-6 are available. There's also a Chrono Trigger game--GET IT!
1. What made you decide to be a Christian?
2. Favorite Norse myths character?
3. How studious do you think you are?

OOooh, nice! XD
1. Um.... Just because. It's just... expected that you are in the community I'm from. Though it was always hard to explain why I didn't go to church on Sunday (my parents never agreed on one).
2. The Valkyries and Loki. Awesome characters!
3. I osciilate between very serious and not serious enough. I think I'm 'moderate', since I always get my homework done on time but don't really go the extram mile.

[rocklobster]

1. Do you like to watch the sun set and/or rise?
2. Do you like Jane Austen?
3. How long do you think you'd last in a slasher film?

[Atria35]

1. Do you like to watch the sun set and/or rise?
2. Do you like Jane Austen?
3. How long do you think you'd last in a slasher film?

1. The sunset is pretty nice to watch. The sunrise occasionally, but only if it's during the winter. If I'm watching it during the summer then I am up WAY too early.
2. No. I don't know why, but for some reason I've never been able to get into her books.
3. I like to think myself decently genre-savvy, so I think I'd last either to near the end or survive the movie. With any luck!

[rocklobster]

1. Do you like Charles Dickens?
2. Ever read or watch The Time-Traveller's Wife?
3. Ever watch Lost?

[Atria35]

1. Do you like Charles Dickens?
2. Ever read or watch The Time-Traveller's Wife?
3. Ever watch Lost?

1. No. His writing is far too drawn-out for me to really enjoy it.
2. Nope. I've read The Time Machine, though! XD
3. I saw the first couple of episodes, but then dropped it. I'm not sure why I din't like it- usually those are my types of shows- but it just didn't interest me.
