Leave me a comment and I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better. Update your journal with the answers to the questions. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. What kind of weather do you like?
Freezing Cool weather, preferably not rainy. Hot weather is evil and terrible and I hate it. Besides, I'm pretty resilient to the cold, I'll be running around in a t-shirt and shorts and everyone will be like "What the fuck, are you insane?" but that doesn't matter 'cause I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.
2. What are your opinions on the Endless Eight arc of the anime?
Well, it has certainly been an ordeal and a half and I won't lie... It has pissed me off just like it has a lot of other people. But still... It really wasn't that bad. It was a tough gamble and it kinda worked. The idea of repeating the same episode over and over with alternate costumes, angles and line deliveries really isn't that bad an idea to demonstrate a time loop. However... What I will criticise is the fact that they could have varied each iteration a bit more. New costumes, angles and line deliveries are fine, but it's still pretty much the same script over and over. Also, it was dragged out far too long. I mean, the fact that such a large amount of people gave up because of how it dragged on so long is proof of that. They could have easily made the story in two episodes, and could have within reason perhaps dragged it out to four for the effect. But eight episodes of almost the same thing really is absolute overkill. It was honestly rather tedious for me, as one of the people who actually did watch all eight episodes, but each alternate take had its own little gems which made them interesting and slightly fresh.
If this was one of those ongoing series like Dragon Ball, Pokémon or One Piece, I'd honestly have pretty much no problems at all now that it's over. HOWEVER... What does still really annoy me is that we know that season 2 should have a total of 14 episodes. Endless Eight takes up 8 of those, and with Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody that makes 9, leaving us with only 5 episodes left. Considering that this season has been filling the gaps in season 1, we'll likely get The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya which of course will result in us not having enough episodes for The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is the one thing I was really really looking forward to having in this season. Hopefully season 3 isn't another 3 years away.
3. Have you ever been to America? If you have, what are your opinions on it? If you haven't, would you like to go?
No, I haven't. I've never been out of the country at all actually, which kinda sucks, but whatever. America would certainly be an interesting place to go, although I'd rather visit Japan first.
4. How often do you go to the movies? What genre do you mostly see?
Not often at all really... I hate having to spend my money, so I'll generally just go with my parents so they end up paying. I do sometimes suggest certain films to them like Dragonball Evolution and Transformers 2 so they'll take me. (Not that DBE was really any good, but as a Dragon Ball fan, I kinda had to see what exactly they were doing with it.) And uh... Sometimes my sister rents films from the Blockbuster Video around the corner when she's bored and I'll often watch those with her too. So uh... Genre? All kinds? XD;;
5. Do you come from a land down under? If you could make just ONE Pokemon real, which one would you pick?
... I'm not even sure how I can justify giving that an answer. 8| Um... Tough question, I mean, there's almost 500 to choose from... Uh... TROPIUS? I mean, it's like a dinosaur crossed with a banana tree AND IT CAN FLY. I mean, how awesome would it be to ride through the sky ON A DINOSAUR WITH UNLIMITED BANANAS!?
Yeah, it's kinda hard to beat that, so yeah. Tropius.
