1. *sobs too* Because my employers don't allow me enough room for Cathy- time. However, come the end of the month, I'll have my Thursday administration shifts back, so, hey, what do you know? LUNCH!!!
2. You know, I don't know. :-) You don't really have to get me anything, you and Lisa exceeded the maximum possible level of generosity when the ever- wonderful Zaphod Beeblebrox costume came into being. However, if you really want to give me something, just a burnt disc of some anime would be nice. :-) Hell, I'll give you back some that I borrowed from you, oh, five years ago. :-)
3. Wow! This one's incredibly perceptive of you! I mean, incredibly so - my life would've been completely different! Georgia and I would've been forced to communicate on a basic level that consisted of "Hello" and "Goodbye", and I don't suppose I would've made it to Anime Night via the route I did. I probably would've had to rely on Liam discovering JAFWA independently, then asking me to come with him. So, we probably would've made it, give or take a few years dressed as Goths, by around 2004. Of course, if I hadn't seen Evangelion, I'd also be less familiar with the oft- quoted Book of Revelation, from which comes the title of my journal. Plus, I never would've harbored the desire to beat up a 15 year- old Japanese boy, how Alistair and I came to loathe Shinji's whining... We could've piloted the damn robot... I don't care if it is his mother.
4. Man, when I first came to JAFWA, it was a beautiful night. I'd spent the afternoon with Shasta and Georgia, then met you and Lisa, Aaron, Adele, Louise... Sure, I jumped around and made up some manic mime about "two- dimensional fighters", it was a wonderful evening. Running back and forth on a university campus that was always much more interesting during the night. I seem to recall that it was winter, I was very much inside my own head, but so utterly taken aback by these interesting and fun people that I had encountered. I remember not actually sitting on a chair for most of the evening, because I was hugging Shasta, which was a combination of comfortable (arms) and uncomfortable (lower spine). The episode of Slayer's Next that was shown that evening was by far the funniest in the series, with Gourry dressed up as a squid. "Oooooooh", he moaned. Kenshin was on, securing my love for the "I will kill you, no, sorry, I won't, I'm a very nice person, I will talk to you, then maim you" school of philosophical samurai cinema. Was Lupin on that night? Or was that another? You know, I do actually have so many happy memories of Anime Night, so very, very many, it's almost worth going back, just to relive being fourteen with you guys. I couldn't imagine a better place to have made friends.
5. I used to say that my favourite food was lasagne, because Garfield enjoyed it so, while my favourite video game used to be whatever Sonic the Hedgehog game I was playing (as long as it wasn't Sonic Spinball, which is utterly dreadful.) These, however, aren't quite the case anymore, I selected them because I realised that I should have a favourite "something" when I was younger. However, my favourite colour is purple. After a brief flirtation with pink (age 5) and black (age 10), I have settled on purple, especially rich, dark purples, because purple is the colour of Donatello, the finest turtle, and The Phantom, the greatest comic book hero of this and any other time.
