Comment with "PIKA PIKA!"
▸ I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
▸ Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
▸ Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
keep in mind I may be slow in getting those questions to you.
1. What's your favourite city out of all the different places you've lived? - I technically lived outside of Pittsburgh but I could live there happily. It's a very nice city with a lot to do. Heck I could move back into my parents house should they sell it to me, 25 miles to the city but still in the country. The only thing I don't like about PIttsburgh is it's too conservative and a bit anti-alternative lifestyle (not that I live one but I don't like repression). So I would probably have to settle back into Madison WI. Also a very nice city, cleaner than Pittsburgh, less conservative, cool and yes, I would probably live outside the city if at all possible.
2. If my big chunky one-eyed tomcat wandered onto your porch in the rain and meowed his pathetic, squeaky little meow at you and maybe shivered a bit, would you take him in and let him eat all of the food? Why not? That's how I got three cats in the first place. (plus the other two that went missing) Now, Soul may have something to say about him eating all the food. Kanda's like whatever. He has no food issues.
3. Why FMA? It was not love at first sight. Whenevil_little_dog first tried to get me into it, I thought I had seen it and didn't like it (I was thinking of something else). I tried and it was when Kimblee showed up at Devil's Nest. My reaction was the dudein the purple suit and Mustang are hot but who gives a crap about this?
She called me a few months later. FMA is starting from the beginning and they'll be adding the last season to it. So I tried it again and I fell in love with the storytelling. I thought the characters leapt right off the screen, so three dimensional, flawed and yet wonderfully so. I picked up the manga and at first wasn't sure about it either since I liked that Roy killed the Rockbells. It added angst to him but that didn't last. I lost interest in the anime again right around the same spot, Kimbley in Devil's Nest and the manga really was so much more interesting once you go in a few volumes. It's the plot and the storytelling that kept me hooked. As far as I'm concerned, the story is as fine a story as I've ever read regardless of medium. It's not one I'm going to forget even decades down the road (sort of my mid-life LoTR)
4. What's your number one favourite item of British food? Yes, why of course you have one. I know it will be hard to pick. XD Beer. What? Is that not a food? COme on. Okay, stereotypical as it is, scones with devonshire clotted cream on them. Shove some strawberries on it too (okay that might not be how it's served there but it's the American idea of British food) and I'll never leave. Those christmas puddings with the hard sauce is some good stuff too. I could probably eat the beans on toast without complaint. Wow, my diabetes isn't going to like my choices.
5. Which out of your original fic universes, if any, do you think would be fun to live in? hmmm much like your fears of dying in your fandom verses, I have similiar fears so probably one of these three, Hikaru and Liam's because I DID live Riding with Strangers. I got the idea while attending UCF in both Lily and Hikaru's fields (and I'd have a sexy bisexual dragon to play with), Maddelena's in Machiavelli Moon, because again, I lived it already. I enjoy Deadwood SD for the history and the gambling and for the Black HIlls (and I'd have pretty Lakota boys to play with and the vampires and werewolves are friendly) or Arrigo and Luc's universe in Vegas because it's Vegas (though the vampires are more dangerous in this).
Placid and Melantha's world is a little too old fashioned for me. Makai's is blood thirsty. Oh hey, I could live in Killian and Taz's universe in Madison WI too but then I'd be hanging out with teenagers. I'd probably be their teacher. Mirron's world is too dangerous. Temple's world is 1930. Who the hell wants that being female even if there weren't demons? If I were in Savaria's world, I'd be in the group being ethnically cleansed with my luck so...

Date: 2011-06-12 09:33 pm (UTC)2. Okkoto says thank you for all of the food. He is sitting next to me snoring right now.
3. It's interesting that it didn't grab you right away! I think the FMA anime started to lose me once Shou Tucker came back from the dead stuck to a bear and Scar died harder than Rasputin. The manga kind of sucked me in slowly too, but I agree that as a piece of storytelling, it's just superb.
4. Beer has calories, so in that sense it's food? We would put strawberry jam on the scones with clotted cream, rather than fresh strawberries, but that works! I actually thought you were on the team that was spooked by Christmas pudding. I think it's delicious but most of the Americans on my flist are quite scared of it.
5. Ooh, good answers. I should have realised that of course you've taken so many of your modern settings from places you've lived. I'm actually quite tempted by 1930! Less fun to be a girl, yes, (and in Europe there's the rise of Fascism too, yikes) but I love the fashion, the movies, the cars and bikes and the art from that period, so it would be fun for a weekend? I could load up on nice hats, drink some cocktails, and then get out before there were Nazis everywhere.

Black KnightScar. Ridiculous.4. oh good. I pretend i don'tknow what's in christmas pudding but yes I like it
5. Well if I'm just stopping in for a weekend the 1930's wouldn't be bad. I could go see the wolfman with Temple.
