QUESTIONS:
What do you associate with rainy weather?: This might sound a little bit weird, because I’m a very nostalgic person, but I’d have to say cookies! I remember when I was a little kid, on Saturdays when it rained and me and my mother didn’t want to go anywhere, we would stay home and bake cookies together. It was really, really fun. (oh dear god I sound like Haruhi Fujioka)
What would be your ideal vacation?: Hmm… I’m not sure, actually. I went to New York a couple of years ago, and that was really fun… They had yummy sugar coated peanuts, and I saw a show on Broadway, which was amazing, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t be as fun if I were experiencing it the second time around, you know? I’ve always thought going to Paris would be really, really fun. I loveeee food, so that would be really great. Or Italy, maybe!
Speaking of vacations, you've just been invited (or forcibly dragged) to the beach! What will you do there?: I like the beach, as long as it isn’t all windy and sand blows in my face and eyes. I might go swimming, but from my experiences of the beach, swimming in the ocean isn’t really fun… It’s very cold, and the mud feels weird under your feet, and I stepped on a shell once and it hurt like a mother. I got a nasty cut. =( I might stay on the beach, build a sandcastle, read a book… All depends on what mood I’m in.
What is your favorite season and why?: Oh, jeeeeez. I’m not that much of a fan of winter, because winter in Oregon is horrible- it rains constantly. x.x Although, it’s snowing right now! I am looking out my window and the flakes are really pretty and I’m hoping we won’t have school tomorrow. Buuuuut that’s not really the point! Um. I guess probably autumn or summer. Summer I really like because I have so much time to myself-both of my parents work, so I’m alone all day, and it’s really nice. Autumn I love because it’s just so beautiful, oh my god. I love the colors of the leaves and the way the air is thin, so if you’re running, you feel all breathless and lovely and nice, and the cold(I really love cold, it feels so nice) and the way you can see your breath when it gets cool enough, and gahh. I guess out of those two, I’d have to pick autumn.
Yamato and Kakashi offer to show you your elemental affinity! What would your take be upon being introduced to the paper-burning test?: …I’m probably having a total moment here, but I cannot remember for the life of me what the paper burning test is. I’m probably gonna click the button to submit this and just then, remember what it was and feel like a total idiot.
...Would you even necessarily want or feel like you would need an elemental affinity to begin with?: I think it would be cool, having one, but I don’t really need one. I could probably get by without one, even if they do look so freaking awesome, haha.
What kind of skills would you want to have/specialize in as a shinobi in the Naruto-verse anyway?: Mmm… Being good at developing strategies would be really useful, but I’d also want to be able to actually have fighting skills too. I think if you’re good at both things, then you could be really great. I guess an example would be Kabuto or Shikamaru.
