HERE WE GO AGAIN.

1. THE RP USERNAME MeME

2. From

makemegray:

If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question.
~~Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.~~ While there is a risk that disobeying this part of the meme will result in CRIPPLING GUILT, it's a chance I'm willing to take.

#01 What song are you currently addicted to?
Human by Civil Twilight. Yes, this is an entirely different song from the one I was obsessed with when I did a similar meme two weeks ago. I AM FICKLE. I do believe Steven McKellar may have the most incredible voice I've ever heard.

#02 What game are you currently playing?
Nothing right now. ;; I haven't played anything since I finished Spirit Tracks a few months ago. One of these days I will finally give in and spend money I can't really afford to spend on AA: Investigations and No More Heroes 2. XD

#03 What was the last movie you saw?
Kick-Ass. It was aptly named. o/

#04 Happy news you've just received?
Idek. Nothing especially exciting has happened for a little while. My brother got inducted into his college's honor society, so he's pleased about that; I guess that would be the most recent thing.

#05 At least one detail about a person you like?
Sense of humor!

#06 What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
IT'S THAT SHOW, YOU GUYS. The one with the baby and the kid who's always flying around on fire all the time and that one megane guy who's pissed off all the time but he's really hot so no one cares and also I think he's kinda gay but hush.

#07 Are you a cat person or a dog person?
I like dogs, I really do, but seriously, CATS.

#08 What color are your bedroom walls?
Pale yellow on three sides and a deep red on the fourth. It's nice.

#09 What was the last thing you bought?
A blueberry iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts.

#10 Would you rather date a good singer, or a good cook?
I know I should just change this to a different question like it says in the instructions, but I'm too lazy to think of something new, so I'll just pass over it with a dubious glance.

#11 Something that made you laugh today?

tsunayoshi's latest Primo Arc recap. Honestly, I was a lost cause as soon as I turned the music on. :|

#12 What do you do to change your mood?
Last time I answered "read or listen to music", but having thought about this more, honestly? If I want to change my mood, usually I just... change my mood. It's not too difficult most of the time. Unless I'm really pissed off once in a blue moon, in which case I'll go for a walk or a drive.

#13 What was the last meal you ate?
A grilled chicken sandwich. It was tasty.

#14 Countries that you want to visit?
England (mostly I just want to visit London), Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore... LOTS OF PLACES. Can I get away with it if I just answer "all of them"?

#15 Any plans for today?
Had a job interview earlier, and now I'm going to chill out and do some memes and try to work on some fic and later make some dinner (or order out if I get really lazy). I probably should have just said "no."

#16 Open your mp3 player of choice. What is your most played song?
iTunes always messes this up and resets counts and so forth, but right now according to that it's It Was Nice to Have Met You from the Benjamin Button OST. Which I do admittedly listen to a lot. There's a certain point, starting about 46 seconds in, where I swear my heart just breaks every time I hear it.

#17 What did you dream about last night?
Going to Disney World with my family. We've had really hot and humid weather here lately so I guess it started to trigger memories and stuff. I was so depressed for a moment when I woke up. XD I WANT TO GO BAAAAAACK.

#18 What kind of music is contained in your hard drive?
Alternative rock and looooots of soundtracks.

#19 How do you watch your anime?
"I almost never do" is the real answer these days, but when I do, lately I've been using One Piece of Bleach to stream it. Unless I'm watching something I own on DVD, like Champloo or Bebop or Azumanga Daioh.

He is from pretty much all the books, actually; he's Han and Leia's oldest son, and has been around since the Thrawn Trilogy, the oldest set of books in the SW EU. But he and his twin sister Jaina are the main characters in the Young Jedi Knights series, which was like MY FAVORITE THING EVER when I was younger, and even now I still like them nostalgically even though they were really cheesy in places, and quite obviously written for a younger audience. (They did get more mature as time wore on, though; the last trilogy in the series was actually pretty damn good.)

ANYWAY. Yeah, I used to get so frustrated because my hair is really curly and not really made for any of the Leia hairdos. But I loved them all the same. As for the yuri thing, for me I think it's more due to a lack of really interesting female characters in most of my fandoms. Most of them have one or two, maybe; usually not enough to start pairing them off, at least with each other. It's my theory, anyway.

Ohhhh that looks really interesting. I think I might pick that up the next time I go to the library. :O I think I read the Thrawn Trilogy, is it by Timothy Zahn? (Lol did you ever read Jedi Apprentice?)

Gotta agree with you there...I wish they would at least give the girls more realistic/interesting personalities, and LET THEM FIGHT FOR ONCE PLEASE. ;A; I would love to see a extremely cool girl who can beat up the main character and the main character never gets better than them. ~~PSHHH THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN~~

Yeah, Zahn wrote the Thrawn books. And yeah, I did read Jedi Apprentice... actually, I've still got like twenty of those books sitting on my shelf here (the last few I bought even though I never got around to reading them). Obi-Wan being my favorite prequel character and all, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read about him as a dumb teenager. XD Plus, they were generally well-written, those books; even my dad read a few and enjoyed them.

Yeah, I can only think of a handful of female characters who are just as well-written as the guys are. To me, it's not just about them being capable of beating everyone up, either; I like it when they have both flaws and strengths similar to the male characters, and that seems to be very rare. Usually people just go overboard in one direction or the other. I don't know why it's so hard to find a balance. XD
