Zelda: kicking people in the face!!
Okay, random story. So, in my eternal awesomeness, I might have spent a good portion of Saturday night going to various Gamestops trying to get a copy of SSBB. And then, when we found the game, we sure as Samus weren't going to let the late (early?) hour be a deterrent to playing. So I might have been up to about four.
CUT TO: NEXT MORNING, when it's eleven o'clock but it should be ten, but feels like maybe six, my phone rings. It's my mom, who has guilted me into taking a trip home. She told me to pick a time and email my father, who has frequent flyer miles.
ALEX: Hello?
MOM: Were you asleep?
ALEX: Well, I'm not anymore.
MOM: You're father's a bit confused about this trip thing. You sent him two weekends to come home.
ALEX: Yeah, like I explained in the email, I was thinking maybe one of them wouldn't work for you, so I was being flexible.
MOM: Right, okay. But if you had to pick between the two weekends, which would you choose?
ALEX: Well, I suppose the weekend after next.
MOM: See, that weekend your father and I are out of town.
ALEX: !!!!
In other news, Brawl is way fun.
ABOUT YOU / YOUR JOURNAL
❶ What is your LiveJournal username? How did you come up with it? As you are here, you know that it's terra. I named it for the Final Fantasy VI character, who is a magical green-haired witchchild/gundam pilot, just like me. Also, I think it is pretty.
❷ Have you renamed before? If so, what were your old names? If you haven't renamed, what names would you want to rename to? I used to be fallingsparrow and ellimere.
❸ How much does your userinfo say about you? I says that I like Nash a lot, which is most of what you need to know.
❹ How long have you been on LiveJournal? Five years. Eeeek.
❺ What is the longest amount of time you've gone without posting? A few months, I'm pretty sporatic and horrible.
❻ On average, how many entries do you post per day? (Divide how many total entries you have by how many days you've been on LJ.) MATH?! *sqints* .15 or thereabouts.
❼ What are your posts normally about? What I feel like talking about, which is mostly videogames but also includes other things just as dorky.
❽ Is your LiveJournal friends only? Why or why not? I friendslock some entries, but generally with my friending policy having my journal friendlocked would be redundant.
❾ Does your LiveJournal have an actual title or are you merely USER @ LiveJournal? Never actually thought about giving my journal another title. People do that?
❿ How long do you see yourself staying on LiveJournal? You ain't rid of me yet, lemme put it that way.
ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSLIST
❶ How many people are on your friendslist, not counting private journals, media journals, etc? About 250.
❷ Why do you choose to add a person to your friendslist? Lots of reasons: similar interests, friends from message boards/college, website stuffs, they added me...
❸ Is your friendslist an actual list of people you consider friends, or more of a reading list? Both? Some people are there because they are my friends, some people just write interesting stuff.
❹ How often do you read your friendslist? Once a day.
❺ Do you use filters when viewing your friendslist? No, except I have one for update journals.
❻ How much do you talk to people on your friendslist off of LiveJournal? Pretty often, both on AIM and face to face talking.
❼ Do you do friendscuts? Why or why not? No, I think anyone who wants to be my friend is cool enough to be my friend :)
❽ Do you regularly participate in friending memes? If not, how do you normally find people to friend? Somewhat often? I think they're fun.
❾ How often do you add new friends to your friendslist? Once a week or so.
❿ Do your friends have to have things in common with you? Yeah, generally.
ABOUT YOUR ICONS / USERPICS
❶ How many userpics do you get maximum? How many of those slots do you actually use? 39 of 42.
❷ Do you mostly use icons made by yourself or by others? 100% me.
❸ Do you have your own icon community? How often do you post in it? I am antigonist, but I neeeveeer post.
❹ What fandoms are most frequently seen in your userpics? FFVI? Suikoden? I make like half of the icons available for these fandoms.
❺ How do you find icons to use? I make them all myself, so, uh, yeah.
❻ How often do you upload new icons to use in your userpics? Not very, but I might do it more soon.
❼ Which of your userpics do you use the most? Ummm, will update when FTP works.
❽ Which of your userpics do you like the most? See above!
❾ The old minimum number of userpics was three. Could you see yourself "surviving" on three userpics now? I did allright with six for a while.
❿ What do your userpics say about you? That I really like Locke. Also, jokes where the punchline is Hitler.
ABOUT YOUR FANDOMS
❶ How many fandom communities are you a part of? Approximately thirty.
❷ Do you join fanfic or icon communities or only the general communities? Depends on the fandom, but mostly just the general.
❸ How many fandom communities do you moderate? Just one.
❹ How often do you check fandom communities for new posts? Again, once a day.
❺ Do you contribute to fandom? If so, by way of what? I icon, and write crappy fanfic on occasion. But mostly I contribute by making dumb jokes about everything I love.
❻ Which fandoms are you most active in? Probably Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI, but also Suikoden. I generally tend to participate on the fringes of fandom, even if most of my posts here are fandom related. I don't think anyone knows me for my icons, for example.
❼ What do your choice of fandoms say about you? I like anachronisms, outdated hardware, and machavellian prettyboys.
❽ Do you make friends based on fandom? Of course.
❾ Have you ever read (or been featured on) fandom_wank? I read it sometimes, never been featured.
❿ What is one thing you wish you could change about fandom? I'd like to say the bitchy pseudo-politics of it, but the truth is drama is funny if it doesn't involve me.
