Your favorite book or movie, and why: My favorite book right now is Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith by Gina Nahai, which tells the story of a woman from a 'cursed' line of women who run away from home and bring misfortune to their families. One night, she flies away... The novel is a work of magic realism. It is a story of a tragedy that can happen in real life. It hurts and touches you, at the same time, which is what makes it really powerful.
A favorite quote or song lyric:
What do I need to do
To keep on living
Without dressing myself up?
If I can't even believe in myself
So what should I believe in?
The answer is so close that I can’t see it
I cry black tears
I have nothing
I'm so filled with sorrow
I can't even put it into words
My whole body begins to ache
I can't bear this alone
- from the translation of Anna Tsuchiya's Kuroi Namida (Black Tears)
I love these lyrics because they are so sad and honest.
What you want to do for a living: Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to be a journalist but recently, I've been thinking about whether or not it really is what I want to do for a living (coming too late in the game, ne?).
Favorite Clamp Character? Why?: Hm. This is hard. I fangirl Fay from TRC a lot because (bishiness aside :P) he is very mysterious and so obviously melancholic that I want to put my arms around him and tell him to cry. :P Another favorite would be Hikaru from MKR. I just admire her personality -- her courage, dedication, and optimism really draw me to her.
Least favorite Clamp character? Why?: Well, TRC!Sakura annoys me a lot sometimes, for some bizarre reason. ^^;
Favorite Clamp pairing and why? Even though I say TRC!Sakura annoys me, my favorite pairing is still SyaoranxSakura...because their pain breaks my heart. And in the end, I want Syaoran to be happy.
You find the journal of one of your friends that was left at your house. What do you do?: Although naturally, my curiosity will be piqued, I'll probably just put it in a safe place. Then I'll call my friend up and tell them they left their journal and would they like me to bring it the next day?
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?: I was going to say I would want the power to turn back time but that would be too painful. And then I thought of clairvoyance but that would bring about the same result in the end. Superpowers are a headache. ^^; But maybe I'd like the power to open doors to other worlds...
If you were stuck on a desert island and could pick five things to bring, what would they be?: I was going to go about this logically but since they don't seem to be allowed...:P I'd bring a solar-powered computer (if there is such a thing :P), books, pen and paper, a portable toilet, and a bed. XD
Likewise, if you could have one Clamp character with you on the desert island, who would it be?: I'd love to say Fay but I would probably be struck speechless so it would have to be someone fun and easy to get along with...how about Tomoyo from CCS? It would be fun to see her design and make outfits with what resources are available. :P And we could have long conversations about anything and everything.
Anything else?: Thanks for reading my app. I'll be voting on new apps as they come in, as well.
Clamp series you know: (The ones in bold, I've watched/read, the rest I've just heard of) TRC, CCS, MKR, Legal Drug, xxxHolic, Wish, Angelic Layer, X/1999, Suki, Kobato, Chobits, Clover
Any special requests? EDIT: I know this is weird since two people already voted but can I request for getting stamped as a character outside Card Captor Sakura? ^^; I was stamped as Tomoyo before so I kind of expected something different. Sorry and thank you very much.
Because the mods are curious, where did you hear about us?: I was randomly browsing LJ interests, I think.
