I AM A TOTAL LOSER DORKFACE. That being said, you may imagine my inner child as being the stereotypical 40-year-old virgin man living in his parents' basement watching cartoons aimed at prepubescent Japanese schoolgirls and awaiting Wednesday like the shiznit. No, wait, I lie. I like cartoons aimed at prepubescent American boys. THAT BEING SAID. Read on!
OH MY VALENTINE I once joked about how Vincent Valentine was my god.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PIE? Best served warm with cream on top.
I NEVER UNDERSTAND A GODDAMN THING YOU SAY. It's okay, we all have deep-seated issues.
LISTENS TO? Shiina Ringo and Tori Amos, and a general penchant for a good, strong female vocalist with versatile musicality. Certain video game soundtracks, because they rock my brightly striped socks. Opera, too. I grew up with The Magic Flute on repeat in the brain. Love it for the theater and costumes and lovely, lovely music and vocals and everything, yes. One may also conclude that musicals make me squeal like a little girl.
SNATCH OF SONG THAT MAKES HER TOTALLY DOOFY "Who do you think you are? / Barging in on me and my guitar / Little girl, hey, the door is that way / You better go you know the fire is out anyway." Ah, Roger. Sing it, baby, sing it good. By the by, you can download Another Day from the extras section for a chortle, too.
PIANO / HARPSICHORD Adores those godbugger crazy Chopin waltzes, Mozart in general, the Debussy fancies. I used to loathe Bach until, one day, the mathematics cleared; I was a rather clueless harpsichord major with no idea how it came to this. I love to dance, but only when it snows or no one is watching.
FALLING SNOW? DANCING? I have all these silly romantic and what have you notions about snow, and more so if it's all drifting hazy white; there's just something so dreamlike and beautiful and not quite real about the world. Just that little something that's hard for me to describe, but it makes me want to dance. It makes me feel alive.
ER, OKAY. Yeah, we'll stick with that.
WHAT IS THE EMOTION YOU VALUE MOST? The feeling of wonder, that certain quality of joy. Love, in my ever humble opinion, is highly overrated. So clichéd, and yet so true! Addendum. Will accept love if wrapped in large amounts of cherry blossom petals and two shades of light too bright. May possibly also accept if offering party smells good and makes one mean peach pie.
AND WHAT ABOUT VIDEO GAMES? VAGRANT STORY. ♥ ♥ ♥ ... oh, okay, fine then. Um. Metal Gear Solid 2. Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics; alternately, Final Fantasy VI, VIII and IX. Xenogears. Valkyrie Profile. I have given my firstborn to the Suikoden series, and am shamelessly drawn into anything with a Megaten-stamp.
YOU LOVE THOSE STUPID JAPANESE COMICS RIGHT? Tokyo Babylon, X, RG Veda, Clover, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Card Captor Sakura, Lawful Drug-- OH CLAMP JUST TAKE MY FIRSTBORN WHILE YOU'RE AT IT. ♥Fruits Basket, Petshop of Horrors, Hybrid Child, Mangetsu Monogatari, Earthian, Loveless-- rounding out the girlside, plus levelling up with Nakamura Shungiku in awesome. Bleach, Shinsengumi Peacemaker Imon, Gintama-- for the Weekly Jump powerup fighting boyheart in me. Indifferent to anime in general, unless I love all over the manga like stupid, but I still have the sparkly hearts for Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Escaflowne, Samurai Champloo, Kyou Kara Maou and Ouran Koukou Host Club.
RANDOM FANDOM CHARACTERS all seven Seals, Sumeragi Hokuto, Segawa Keiichi, Fay D. Flourite, Ashura, Seta Soujirou, Arisugawa Juri, Kiryuu Nanami, all the nice Fruits Basket folk make me stupid happy. The Shinsengumi in various incarnations. Maes Hughes. Takeshi Yamamoto. Abarai Renji, Ishida Uryuu, 11th Division thug love, Ichimaru Gin's creepy hands, ASANO KEIGO. GIVE KEIGO YOUR DOOFY LOVE. Shibuya Yuuri, Wolfram von Bielefeld. Daredevil, Black Widow, Iceman, Emma Frost is my goddamn idol, Jubilee, Morpheus, the Morningstar, Midnighter, Chase Stein, Abe Sapien, Lobster Johnson. I am so gay for Karolina Dean, I wish I was lying. Éowyn, Éomer, Faramir, Lúthien, Gil-galad. Sirius, Lupin, Hermione, Snape. The Ankh-Morpork Watch, Lord Vetinari, Death, and Miss Susan. Thaddeus, Agnate, Eladamri, Freyalise. Artemis Entreri, Jarlaxle Baenre, Pikel Bouldershoulder, Thibbledorf Pwent. Leia, Obi-Wan, the Solo kids, Palpatine, the Rogues and Wraiths! (Wedge Antilles on the good days, Wes Janson on the bad-- Face Loran anywhere and anytime, baby.) Does Anakin Solo get special mention because he makes me CRY LIKE A LITTLE GIRL? No, thought not.
BECAUSE VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS GET A CATEGORY OF THEIR OWN
Sydney Losstarot, Commander Neesa, the Crimson Blades; Selphie, Zidane, Celes Chere et crew hit me to the core, Larsa, Ashe; Mustadio, Agrias; Billy Lee Black, Maria Balthasar, Bartholomew Fatima, Vincent Valentine, Wakka, Rikku. Eikichi Mishina, Baofu, Ulala, THE SUOU BROTHERS, Cielo, Heat. Albel Nox and his super girl panties. My Valkyrie Profile crew on crack: Kashell, Llewelyn, Lawfer. (The killable and grillable.)

Am also going to bear Caesar Silverberg many fine, fine redheaded children. (If Caesar were a muffin I would eat him! ...Uhhh. Next.)
FASHION STATEMENT printed tees and A-skirt. Bright colours that'll sometimes take an eye out: a thousand shades of blue, streaks of orange, dash of pink, flare of yellow. Spunky pigtails, woefully coloured kinda blonde. Raspberry swirl lip balm and limegreen worn close to the heart. Wants to grow up polished like a Chanel suit. Lusts after Shiina Ringo's old-style rocker wardrobe and wants Kubo Tite to throw up on her closet, I would totally wear pants if you asked me to, baby.
TELL ME SOMETHING INTERESTING I can finish an entire cake in a timed setting. Wait, no, that's just scary.
