a. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
b. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
1. What are your nicknames?
Mostly just "Sai" or "the cat", or "Zoro", or other character names... the names my parents call me will not appear here.
2. What is one talent you wish you possessed?
Just one? Mm, I want to pick a different one than the ones I gave for the other meme... I've wanted for years to play the guitar, but never got the chance to learn.
3. What's new in your life right now?
Uh, there's someone I'm becoming better friends with, and... new series I've gotten into lately - Kuroshitsuji, Bakuman, The Big Bang Theory... not much else I can think of.
4. How many colours are you wearing now?
At this moment? Depends on whether you count colour of the writing on my top or not... if so, I've got 4 visible colours on, if not, 2 - blue and black.
5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Introvert. Very much an introvert.
6. What was the last book you read?
Some manga I've already read in scans... currently One Piece, of which the less said about the translation the better (I'll note only that Nami and Sanji keep calling Vivi "Nefeltari", which is at least three levels of fail right there, possibly four in Sanji's case)... last new thing I read was volume 12 of Vagabond, which is amazing... Last prose book I read was Torchwood: The Twilight Streets, which is oddly fannish and Doctor Who-referency, and does weird things with Bilis, and overall reads like good fanfiction. It's really good, yeah, but not nearly as good as Trace Memory.
7. Are you craving anything right now?8. If the person you secretly like is already taken, what would you do?
Try to be their friend anyway.
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Yeah, but I don't want to discuss it.
10. What was the last thing you ate today?
A couple of cheesy cracker things.
11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
If I'm grabbing food on the way and not cosplaying, it can take not much time at all... ten or fifteen minutes, I guess? If I'm having breakfast at home, or if I have a costume or fruits stuff to put on, it takes longer.
12. What websites do you visit daily?
Google mail, LJ, and I try to keep up with some webcomics, and do some RPing at my friend's RP forum (although that's more... semi-daily).
13. What classes are you taking right now? and if you're not in school anymore, what's your job?
I'm having summer holidays right now. XP
But I just finished 2nd year Japanese, and Special Topic In Latin. Next semester I'm taking some 3rd year Japanese and... I can't remember which Philosophy subject I enrolled for, but one of them, anyway...
14. Do you like to clean?
Hate it.
15. What's the last song that got stuck in your head?
Gah, crap, what was it, just this morning... "1985", can't remember the name of the band... "there was Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana, there was U2, and Blondie, and music still on MTV", that one.
16. What are you doing right now?
This meme. Translating Kuroshitsuji (badly, but it's just for myself, and I'm getting enough to understand it). Reading LJ. Reading badly translated One Piece. Trying to get 1985 back out of my head.
17. Who was your childhood idol?
This question should be in the plural, really... Galileo, Mr Spock, Raistlin Majere and Elric of Melnibone. If anyone reading this doesn't know which one of those was a real person, you need to read more. XP
18. Name three unusual/unique things that are inside your purse/backpack/pocket.
Mm... not sure I've got three unusual things... I keep a couple of lists for when I go to bookshops (and comicstores, but considering there's one comicstore I don't have to cross the strait to get to... yeah), of manga and books I'm looking out for and don't have yet, because I have too many moments of getting there and not remembering which volume of something I'm up to otherwise... Um... I guess not everyone keeps a notebook in their bag to do writing, so that probably counts as well...? Can't think of anything else. I always have at least one book in my bag when I leave the house (usually more than one), but doesn't everyone do that?
19. Would you rather be hairy or a werewolf?
Well, I am kinda hairy, so if this is supposed to be a choice between two bad things, it doesn't really work... Being a werewolf might be cool, though, depending on what kind. If it's the HP kind, then no, but the Shadowrun kind... that would be kind of awesome.
20. What's a huge pet peeve of yours?
I have a lot... there are a lot of grammar things among them, like people who won't use capitals or punctuation. American spelling (not calling it invalid, I just really, really hate it). Some of the common confused words like "defiantly" for "definitely" (how does that one even come about?!) and "loose" for "lose". "Bought" and "brought". Also, the way newsreaders can't say long words properly anymore.
And a lot of non-grammar related things that I'm not going to even start on at the moment.
And I tag... crap, I can't remember who's already done it... I'll just go, and anyone who has and is on here can just ignore it. mask_of_red, garaku, okami_tsukuyomi, takatohedgehog, crystal_chan, reno555, kanthia, synvamp. And anyone else who wants to.
Also, I'm watching Big Bang Theory as I prepare to post. Sheldon is so obviously autistic it almost hurts.
