More about you

Solitary walks. Discussing religion. My fandoms. Art. Writing. I have two more hobbies but they are too close to the hobbies/talents of one ( or two) character(s) and I don't want to be thought of as a character pusher. I've become quickly addicted to these stamping comms.

I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.

Mr. Miyazaki
First Miyazaki movie you saw? How old were you and did you like the movie then?: Princess Mononoke. I remember Howl's Moving Castle had just come out and I had heard great things about it and Spirited Away , Kiki's Delivery Service, and Princess Mononoke was available to rent. I enjoyed it so much that I was kicking myself for not renting his films sooner. Age wise I think I was in my teens/late teens.
Favorite Miyazaki movie?: The easier question would be which one I don't love. I can watch My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke,Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and never get bored. Though I must say the voice casting they got for the English dub of Howl Moving Castle & Kiki's Delivery Service impressed me a lot. I haven't seen Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea yet but it looks so adorable.
Least favorite Miyazaki movie?: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It just didn't click with me.
Favorite character from a Miyazaki movie?: Jiji , I'm such a huge Phil Hartman fan and he did such a great job with Jiji.
If you could magically become one character out of a Miyazaki film for one day, who would you want to be?: Although I haven't seen it I would like to be Ponyo. I'm a horrible swimmer so I tend to avoid pools and beaches. It would be nice to see the world below just once.
Would you prefer a same gender stamp or all that's listed?: *whispers* Can I ask for both? If not then female because I think he creates wonderful female characters.
Anything else you feel like adding while you're at it?:
I'm very much the nurturer in my family. I'm very sensitive to other people's feelings. I'm told I'm considerate.I have a strong sense of responsibility and duty. I take my responsibilities very seriously. When under stress , I become quite critical of myself.I have a hard time expressing my feelings.
