1. Why did you sign up for LiveJournal?
Many moons ago. I was taking part in a sort of crack FF7 roleplay, and I'd never been on LJ before. I finally figured out how the format worked, and made a journal for me rather than my characters.
2. Why did you choose your journal name?
It's a pun. I'm just that kind of girl.
3. Do you crosspost? Why or why not?
One journal is stressful enough.
4. What do you do online when you're not on LJ?
Deviantart -> Reddit -> Livejournal -> Minecraft
5. How about when you're not on the computer?
Reading, drawing. Recently, I've been having fun with Sculpey. I'm learning how to cosplay really convincingly. I bought my first wig, and I'm waiting impatiently for it to come in the mail. I am so excite about it.
6. What do you wish people who read your journal knew about you?
Just call me a ghost on the wind.
7. What is your favorite community on LiveJournal?
grangersnape100 is so active, it surprises me in a good way.
8. What community do you wish was more active?
zelda_dressing v_v
9. Are there two people on your reading list that you think should meet?
Um... I couldn't say. I always find it strange when people that I know meet each other.
10. Tell me about your default icon.
The Briefs family. The most strange and adorable family.... The recipe goes:
1/2 super-rich scientists
1/4 blonde airheads
1/4 bloodthirsty space monkey royals
Mix well for about... 20 years before it finally stops exploding/people stop dying.
11. What features do you think LiveJournal should have that it doesn't currently?
More icons for errbody.
12. What do you consider the five most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why?
Hmmm... I list several ancient "holy" symbols. I always thought it was so interesting that certain shapes are nearly universally considered more "holy" than others. It's along the same lines of how art works - why does representation in any form evoke feelings in people? I could write essays and essays about this - about how and why you can draw an object a hundred different ways and change the relationship the viewer has to the object a hundred different ways. It's so manipulative, it's the closest thing there is to magic.
13. Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?
"geothe's brain" I would like to eat it to gain his mental strength.
"ferras vansen" The most attractive of all fictional characters.
"men in spacesuits" Namely, David Tennant In A Spacesuit
14. Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on LJ?
My gateway fandom was Final Fantasy 7. I still like it a lot.
I segued into Harry Potter - mainly SS/HG.
After that, Legend of Zelda.
I'm really still into all of the above, but to list all of my other interests would take a long paragraph.
15. What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?
A Song of Ice and Fire - it's already my favorite book series of all time, and I'm only on book 2 of 4. PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL ANY OF IT FOR ME, IT IS LIKE READING A FINE CHOCOLATE WINE and I haven't had that for a while. It's so exciting how often people get stabbed in the throat. I think I'll do fanart. I haven't been so excited about a fandom in a long time. IT HAS A SHOW ON HBO, I am so lucky I didn't have to wait years for that to come out. Haha!
VOCALOID - the fan-driven aspect of this fandom really interests me. It's like... I don't know, JK Rowling never existed and instead of her writing Harry Potter a bunch of fans got together and wrote it instead. And made it as a series of music videos. I enjoyed Black ★ Rock Shooter, it was a surprisingly touching song that was made into a surprisingly touching OVA. My favorite VOCALOID is Miku - I ship MikuxKaito. I like their duets. I like how you can ship these robot people based solely on their duets. I also like Ren + Lin.
16. What are you glad you did but haven't really had a chance to post about?
I lost 20 lbs this month! It's pretty exciting!
17. How many people on your reading list do you know IRL?
A good portion. Let me not list them - I wouldn't want to miss any.
18. What don't you talk about here, either because it's too personal or because you don't have the energy?
I don't say a lot here.
19. Any questions from the audience?
Hnn. Well?
20. Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?
It's great! Though, I've found I only get really fannish about straight pairings.
21. What's your favorite thing about LiveJournal?
Reading down my friends' page is like reading a bunch of people's private journals. Oh wait.
Actually, it's a great way to keep track of the lives of strangers. So interesting. <3
