[Storylab Sonicflight]

Does sitting in one of the gas chambers of Auschwitz count?
Yes, I am an extremely twisted and sadistic person. But why not, when horror fuels my muse so?

Choose, TNP. Would you rather give up your life, or the thing you've always wanted to have?

[Buttlovski]

The one thing I've always wanted. It's just powers.

What element best represents you?

[Seraphine Holodore]

((OOC: It's been a while since I last thought in those terms. Do we mean classical elements or chemical elements? At the moment I think I might be compared to... carbon, with its stable electron shell. Likewise, I'm a bit too comfortable; I need to be shaken up if not compacted together with fellow 'atoms', to participate where the reactions are.))

TNP: Which is your favourite holiday - secular or religious - and why?

[Eldritch Elder]

Oh, I'd have to say Thanksgiving. Why? Because for me it's always meant getting together with my family and eating lots of good food. Love my family and love the food they make. So, yeah.

What fruit/vegetable would you be? And why would you be that one?

[twinbirds]

Hmmm. Maybe I'd be a carrot. I can be really sweet, but I have to be warmed up first? Haha, I don't know. I've never really been able to metaphorically compare myself to inanimate objects well.

What's your favourite art form? Do you participate in it or just observe?

[Johannes Cabal]

One of my favorite art forms is stained glass. It's not something I participate in, but I'd like to incorporate it into an animation at some point.

What's the last thing that upset you?

[Storylab Sonicflight]

Getting whined at by a fellow internet user to finish a webcomic I was doing. Honestly, I understand where she's coming from, but bugging me every week when I'm having important examinations is just no.

TNP: If your muse could provide an endless source of inspiration, what would you choose to be it?

[hideous monster face]

I'd like a muse to inspire me to write an amazing preteen book series, that would become a series of movies and make me tons of money.

What is your least favorite sterotype?

[Umpenscrump]

That a person/character's personality is dictated by their appearance. 'Cause I mean, come on.

What's your favorite song and why?

[Houkito]

"The Story You Don't Know" by Supercell
I can't find the original on YouTube because of copyright issues, so that one is a cover by Amatsuki.
The original is sung by a girl, but it's refreshing to hear it sung by a boy.

The English lyrics are as follows:

On that ordinary day
You suddenly stood up and said,
"Let's go stargazing tonight!"

"You get good ideas once in a while, huh?"
Everyone said and laughed.
We joked around and walked
Like fools on that unlit path,
So we wouldn't be crushed
By the loneliness and anxiety we held.

Gazing up from the pitch black world
The night sky seemed like it was raining stars.

Since when I wonder,
Have I been chasing after you?
Somehow, please,
Don't be surprised and listen
to these feelings of mine.

"There's Deneb, Altair, and Vega."
You pointed out the summer triangle.
I remember and look at the sky.
Finally found Orihime-sama,
But where's Hikoboshi-sama?
That's a bit lonely.

Next to you, who was having fun,
I couldn't say anything.

In truth, I had already
Realized my feelings for you some time ago.
I found them,
but they'll never reach you.
"It's no use. Don't cry."
That's what I told myself.

I bluffed in my faint-heartedness,
Acting like I had no interest.
However,
That prickling pain in my chest, growing...
Mn...that's right.
Falling in love is like that.

What do I want to do? Please tell me.
There was a voice in my heart.
Being beside you is enough.
Reality is harsh.

I didn't say it.
I couldn't say it.
I'll never get another chance.

That summer day,
Those sparkling stars
Even now I still remember.
That laughing face,
And that angry face,
I really loved them.
Strange isn't it?
Even though I knew that...
You didn't know,
The secret only I knew.
That night long-ago
In a distant memory,
You pointed,
And with an innocent voice...

So something I really like about Supercell's lyrics is that they're incredibly raw, real, emotional, and honest. This was the first song I heard from them and it's been my ultimate favorite ever since. I've never heard a song that described my feelings so well (shut up). Because sometimes, it just happens and you're like, "Wow, I really like this person." And you realize it's a feeling you've always had towards them but never gave form to. Of course the lyrics mostly emphasizes the fact that it's an unrequited love, and I've unfortunately had one too many experiences with that feeling. Haha. So it stings, but it doesn't make me love the song any less.



How does your desk look (or wherever you use your computer)?
Provide a picture if you can! And mention anything notable (figurines, magazine stacks, etc).

[iabiel]

I am at work right now so... My desk looks like total crap. I have a DSM to my right with a book of company assessments by it. Like twelve pens hiding amoungst tons of disorganized paperwork that covers my entire desk, two large empty thermoses of tea, three empty diet coke cans in random spots, a paperwork organizer thing to my right and a picture of my family by it.

It's chaos incarnate.

Discribe yourself in three words.

[K i m z y]

Tea loving girl.

What movie would you like to go and see at the cinema?

[Syunii]

Currently playing?
None of them.
(I don't care for most movies.)


If you traveled back in time 5 years, what would you
do to change your future?

[twinbirds]

Easy. I'd get a job. I would have so much more money now (or hell, even just a little would do) and I wouldn't feel like such a burden. Also I wouldn't have to work a million hours now, and the experience would help me get a better job than I currently have. I really regret not working through high school, but I always had the excuse of having to maintain the best grades. In truth I could have had a job and a slightly lower GPA and it would have been fine, and I'd be having an easier time of things now. You can't change the past though.

What's something you worry about? It could be a large thing or a small thing.

[Winters Gate]

Well, I am currently worrying about car accidents. When I was really small I saw a person get hit by a car (full on gore of that) and now that I am learning how to drive all the fears I have associated with cars are coming up.

What kind of food could you eat everyday and not get tired of it?
