How long have you been a Nutanger?

Since almost Christmas, 2005. I was too impatient to wait until it was actually the twenty fifth. (And this was when I still had dial-up, so I couldn't stay on the extra hour anyway)

What kind of blogger would you consider yourself?

An average one? Maybe a slightly overactive one. I think I've changed from hyper-random to more serious since I started on Nutang. (You can tell by the way my "stories" change from weird and random to um... "serious.")

Have you ever been attacked by bears? What about other animals dressed up as bears?

I haven't personally been assaulted by any live bears, or animals dressed as bears (in my memory), but I'm pretty sure I've had my fair share of teddy bears thrown at me.

1. Are you Asian in any way?

Indeed I am. 100% Chinese, though I'd rather not be. I got rejected by the asian crowd in elementary school, so I've kind of been anti-Chinese since. (And you didn't think I had a reason!) You'd never be able to tell if you hadn't seen me. I don't speak Chinese, I don't like Chinese food, I barely even look Chinese, according to some people. (They think I'm Hawaiian...) My family doesn't celebrate Chinese holidays, either. We don't even have a really asian-sounding last name, though of course I shan't tell you what it is.

2.You dislike anything popular along anime/manga. You dislike anime/manga because it is popular or because it is Asian, or both?

The styles of art used in anime and manga are unoriginal and boring. You can always tell when something is anime/manga. It's not like that with other cartoon styles. I don't really have anything against the Japanese. I don't like anime/manga for the same reason I don't care for stick figure animations; everyone does it and it's gotten tedious. (And yeah, I know people say they love anime for the storylines, which are SO deep and stuff. But couldn't the writers find any other medium to express themselves?)

3. What is The International Club of Sex Muffin Extraordinaires?

The club I started. We don't do anything. It's great! We have a mascot named Fred. I think.

4. What is your ideal job?

Over the years, my ideal job has changed. I used to know what I wanted. Now I wonder if being a hobo is so bad. (And I put that in my college essay, by the way.) My ideal job also changes according to how I'm feeling. Sometimes I think it would be great to be a comic book author, or just a normal writer. Other times I feel like I could design stuff, but when I actually think about it, I don't seem to have the skills or motivation to really do any of the jobs I'd like. [Look at me, I'm dodging the question! Sophia says I'd make a good politician.]

5. Given the chance, would you turn back time? If yes, why?

Oh hell yes. I've made lots of mistakes over the years, and I say I've learned from them (well, technically I have), but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go back to fix them. I think my main issue has been not having enough self control. So I could go back and not laugh uncontrollably whenever I was embarrassed... Ah, that'd be great.

6. If you had an extremely large aquarium, what would you put in it?

Gee, y'know, I've never been one for fish. Could I put some genetically modified parakeets in it? I had this dream about parakeets swimming around in an aquarium before. They were like frogs, or turtles or something. Every now and then they'd come up for air. It was interesting.

7. Do you use the Nutang toolbar?

Nah. The not-crappy computer I use is the family one, so I don't download toolbars. I hear good things about it though.

8. If someone came up to you on the street with a knife and demanded your wallet, what would you do?

Probably try and explain to them that I don't usually carry my wallet. If I did have it with me though, I guess I'd ask them if they were really interested in Barnes & Noble giftcards and three bucks. (Y'never know, really.) I figure that if they had to rob people, they probably need the money, so I'd try and help them out a little. (I don't really value my life a whole lot, so if they rejected any help I could provide and decided to kill me for the giftcards, eh, whatever.)

9. If you had to choose to be any inanimate object in the entire world, what would it be?

Well, I know what I wouldn't be. (Vibrator... my brother's lotions for his eczema... money) Oh, I know! I'd be a secret base underground. Then if people discovered me they'd be all like "whoa, it's a secret base underground! This is cool!" Yeah... (That counts, right?)

10. If you knew you were going to be locked away in solitary confinement and had one final request, assuming it could be anything at all, what would you request?

I guess I'd ask them to lock me away in a gigantic mansion with everything I've ever wanted in it, and many, many windows. Oh, and it should be equipped with a large rock climbing gym with auto-belaying. If that doesn't count as one thing, I guess I'd just ask for a moderately comfortable cell with a window low enough for me to see out of. (I'm kind of short)
