QUESTIONS:
What do you associate with rainy weather?: Party indoors! And no swimming practice (that's just because too much of my recent life has revolved around swim team D:)! I really like the rain, it's fun to run around in and splash and be childish....and it's also a really nice time to curl up on the couch and watch a movie. :D
What would be your ideal vacation?: Somewhere far away, with some tourism, some lounging in the hotel, and, of course, some shopping! I hate it when I go on vacation and spend ALL day away from the hotel, only coming back at like 8 PM so all I can really do is check my email and then go to bed, and it starts all over again. I need time to just hang out in the hotel room, watch what's on HBO, etc. I'd really like to go somewhere like Japan, where I can do all three: there's tons of ancient cultural stuff to see, I'm sure there are some nice hotels (though watching Japanese....ehhhh, RAW ANIME :D), and o' course, good shopping :D
Speaking of vacations, you've just been invited (or forcibly dragged) to the beach! What will you do there?: Bring my swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen, and maybe a big hat! Splash around, jump waves, eat at the place nearby, try and not get sand in my swimsuit, attempt to build sand castles, dig in the funny quicksand-ish sand (maybe that's only in Texas XD), find shells, draw in the sand, take pictures, and just HAVE A GOOD TIME.
What is your favorite season and why?: Winter, because it's actually sort of cold. Well, down south, anyways. I used to live where it snowed a good foot every winter, which was AWESOME, and we had this hill in our backyard for sledding (so we didn't have to go to the park where it was so crowded :D). Seriously, winter is the BEST! And it's the time for hot chocolate, and movies @ home under blankets, and CHRISTMAS. :D
Yamato and Kakashi offer to show you your elemental affinity! What would your take be upon being introduced to the paper-burning test?: I'd be really excited! It's my own chakra, anyways, so it's not gonna burn me or anything (though I'll probably be suprised by my results). I always want to know these kinda things....you know, when there are corny quizzes like "What's your inner color?" I always want to take them. XD
...Would you even necessarily want or feel like you would need an elemental affinity to begin with?: I would definitely feel like it. I don't think you NEED to know and specialize in your elemental affinity to be a successful ninja, but it certaily helps. :D
What kind of skills would you want to have/specialize in as a shinobi in the Naruto-verse anyway?: ...I don't know, really. I think Shikamaru's whole shadow-manipulation is pretty sweet, but then again, manipulation of anything is pretty sweet in my opinion. XD Personally, I have no idea what I'm suited for (I'm terrible at those kind of questions).
