"I'm not a gull."
W00t, I haven't done a meme in forever and a day. XD Thanks, kanisi_kokoro!

❶ I'll respond by asking you five questions to satisfy my curiosity.
❷ Update your journal with the answers to your questions.
❸ Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions.
... I may have changed the action phrase.
1) How did you get into writing?
God, I can't remember that far back. XD;; I seriously always wanted to be a writer. It was my first career goal as a kindergarten student, right after I learned that people actually made the stories I liked to read. Mom still has all of the "books" I tried to write in a box somewhere (they're all about lost kittens and environmental pollution, I kid you not). And somehow it just... never went away. I kept writing short stories and plot outlines straight up through middle school.
I was absolute and complete crap at it until I got to high school, of course. But a teacher helped me learn how to edit my work and work off of feedback; she was way ahead of her time and too cool for our rural school. College was the same story: worked my ass off on it, practiced harder, . Still working my ass off on it both in the office and at home with personal projects.
Seriously, I'm a lazy dorkface. But writing is my passion. ♥
2) What was your first fandom? Are you still a part of it, or has it fallen by the wayside?
God, uh... My first fandom. Er.
Johnny Quest.
... Because Hadji was awesome and hot. XD ♥
I'm not a part of it, and I honestly was hardly a part of it back when I first started. It was where I discovered fanfiction, though. At least, I think so. I was pretty young. I look back and kind of cringe. But I met my best friend through that fandom, and we're as close as sisters today. ♥ AND HAVE FOLLOWED EACH OTHER THROUGH EVERY FANDOM SINCE. XD XD
3) If you could eliminate one thing from this world, what would it be? How do you think it would affect the world at large?
That's... hm. That's a tough one. XD;;
Prejudice, I suppose. The inability for others to look at something from more than one perspective. Given how deepy rooted that is in the human condition, the affects would be pretty fucking huge. But isn't that half the adventure?
4) If you could be a personification of a country (like Hetalia), what country would you want to be and why? Would you share any stereotypical traits?
OMG. THIS QUESTION. ♥
Uuugh, so hard, so hard. I... I think I'd want to be the personification of Mongolia. Because Mongols are hardcore. *brofist* Also, I find their landscape fascinating.
Stereotypical traits... Er. Being hardcore awesome. Yeah.
Also, I'd herd stuff. In a hardcore awesome way.
5) Show me your favorite fanart of whatever pairing you choose; can be Hetalia or otherwise.
I went to grab my favorite fanart and I realized you said "pairing," LOL. XD;; That makes it a lot harder. My favorite fanart is this one (please don't spread around, folks, I just knew some people couldn't get to Pixiv):
But if we're talking pairings... hmmm...
Probably this one. It's just... somehow so adorably them.
Mmmnf. Bed now. Did not find laptop yet, but I'll try again tomorrow. =_=
