Because I'm always suprised by this kind of thing.

[cynchick]

Stolen from everyone. Seriously.

I know I don't blog and such a whole lot, but.

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist/"friending me"? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head?

Post this in your own journal and see how you have surprised people!

Well I didn't really have preconceptions because I had never read your fics or never heard anything about you, but I remember noting how serious (in a good way) you are when you posted the pic that you drew of Sakura in the dress Sere designed for her on the KakaSaku FC on NF, and there were some small comments but then people kind of went back to their silly stuff... I remember I had been at school while it happened, so I came back and saw that you had been kinda miffed and I remember thinking "She has a total right to be! This was a serious thing and people didn't really give it enough attention." I mean, I love the FC and how silly things get there sometimes, because it's all good fun, but for people who had known Sere for a while and who had probably read the fic the picture was from, I thought that in general that they were a little too flippant about the beautiful picture you posted.

So your first impression of me was when I was bitching people out? Lol. Yeah...I adore the FC ladies, but I cant keep up with the freakish speed, and honestly sometimes what goes on there is too frivolous and random for my tastes. I had been friends with Sere for over 2 years and talked to her regularly over chat, so it pissed me off that the FC didn't even really pause to honor or discuss the passing of someone who was so highly regarded in the KakaSaku community, and was a regular poster at the FC itself.

Yeah, I mean, right when she died I remember a lot of stuff-- although maybe to me it just seemed like a lot because I didn't know Sere, where in fact to people who knew her it was not enough. Your picture if I remember came a little later. So why I can kiiiiiinda see why maybe they were like "mmm don't wanna rehash the sad", your picture, IMHO, still merited a little more attention. (It's a really nice picture, and I still look at it sometimes. :) ) Unfortunately I never really got to know Sere, because I had just joined the FC around that time

I'm not sure, really. They say you can get to know a person through their writing and artwork, but I don't think so. Through your LJ, I've come to see you as someone worthy of my respect - not only because of your talents, but because you stick up for what you believe in, and above all, you're kind. I know you say you're cynical and all, but I think you are kind and humble. You can tell this from the smallest things, like the way you answer 'thank you' to every single person who comments in your LJ on one of your art pieces.

I just appreciate that my fans take the time to show their support. Bottom line, I just appreciate that I HAVE fans, because you know, its not like I'm a real celebrity or something. If anything, the fact that I spend so much time writing/drawing for fandom says I'm a bigger geek than all of you. XDD

I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this. To be perfectly honest I don't really read most of what you write because I'm not into anime/manga/whatever it's called, though I do look at the art you post and admire it (I can't even draw a stick figure).

What surprises me the most is how little of your thoughts, feelings and day-to-day activities you share here. Since all I have to go on is this journal I would have to believe the only thing you do in life is read, write and illustrate. I know that's not true but I don't have a better glimpse into your life to find out.

[cynchick]

Lol. Thats partly because this journal is mainly for things related to my writing and art, but mostly because I'm a pretty private person in general and I just don't feel the need to advertise everything that goes on in my life to people I don't really know. That's why I hardly ever use my Facebook or Myspace either.

You probably know me (at least my personality) better than most of the people on my F-list because we've actually conversed live and not in text. Lol. Btw, I miss playing WoW. I would come back, but I'm so busy I don't think I would have the time to play anyway. I have the entire month off in Dec, so maybe. Everyone has probably forgotten me by now.

[shortitude]

That you are so...amazing. That you friended back ahahaha I still have issues about friending authors I love because it's like I put them on an unreachable pedestal.

Completely unexpected--that you drew fanart for me. *__* /squee

When I read your comments to how you thought, for example, when you wrote Perception that "loving a person is accepting all about him/her" and that Sakura couldn't accept everything about Itachi, that is what made me realise how intelligent you actually are. Not that I had a doubt you were intelligent, it was just so much more thought into that than I thought. I've also read about how you believe your readers are intelligent enough to understand your fanfic, so that the subtle meaning gets through... I really felt like you respected us readers then. I feel like you're a strong, but still humble and such an intelligent and talented person. I guess you were so much more than I thought ^^ (whoah, much "Thought" in there xD)

Sorry about my English, I'm from Sweden so I'm not really that good at it...
