You people are evil!!!
And that is why I love you so much. You guys never let me down. Definitely one of the best question sessions in a while. I knew you would give me some good ones. Now, without further ado, I am going to open up my image folder and unleash my answers upon you!!
Solo: If you had the opportunity to perform to some music, what would the music be and what would you wear?
I, wanna rock 'n roll all night...and party everyday!
Back in the day I use to be really REALLY into music. I play many different instruments since, well, I can't sing. Lately I have overcome my singing stage fright and now love karaoke. I would love to sing cheesy 80's rock ballads while wearing something outrageous. Like those really tall Gene Simmons platform boots I have told you guys about. I so rock.
Chocobo Gene: How did you become a writer?
::scribble, scribble, scribble::
Good question. I always had a love of writing. In the 4th grade (waaaay back in the 1980's) I entered a creative writing competition and was picked as the winner for the school. I actually had to read my story out loud at a school assembly in front of the entire student body. I then won a trip to the "Young Writer's Conference" to learn more about being a writer. Get this, my story was about toys coming to life. It had Barbie in it and she was a real snotty rich brat. My main character was a beat up stuffed bunny rabbit. I really should sue the "Toy Story" guys for stealing my story.
the fizz: You've done alot of things for Myo/TheO/OB, what is/was your most exciting/coolest/funnist/ect.(that got you worked up in some way) for you as you were doing it?
Happy Dance!
I would have to say it is an interview I have in the works right now. I am not going to spill the beans on it just incase it doesn't pan out. That would really suck to get everyone excited about the interview to only have it go down the drain. I will let you know that the person I want to interview has already agreed to the interview. When I got that confirmation I went a bit on the fan girl side and got really REALLY excited. It actually made me feel like my new career is going somewhere.
myoshi: How do you feel about Bush putting social security into stock??
There are many things the govt. needs to address.
Wow, my first political question. I generally stay clear of politics and religion since it usually ends up in a big ol' debate. My opinion on the Bush social security stock thing is that yes, social security is really messed up and changes need to be made. Bush said: "We must strengthen Social Security by allowing younger workers to save some of their taxes in personal accounts, a nest egg you can call your own and government can never take away." But I am not sure if this is the way to do it. I really don't have much info about it except that they need a huge loan, it's like $700+ billion, to impliment this. To make a definite pro or con stance on it I need to do more research. I really need more information before I can make an informed decision.
Bank of mulitple questions Kev:1. What else do pandas eat other than bamboo? 2. Are pandas meat eaters?
Ready to eat?!
I am going to answer these two questions together. Pandas eat many different things besides bamboo. Bamboo makes up the majority of their diet but they also eat other fruits, veggies and sometimes...small animals! So yes, pandas have been known to eat meat.
3. If a Guy With A Idea came in contact with a panda what would happen?
I might have to pratice my stabbin'!
I wouldn't have to worry since I would have you to protect me Kev. Talk about an inside joke. Let me explain to my faithful readers. At Anime Expo in 2003 before the Harmony Gold (HG) panel there was this guy who was bugging the HG staff. Kev was great, he basically rescued the staff from having to deal with this rabid fan boy who had this great idea he wanted to sell to them. This guy was uber creepy! At the end of the panel we were all going out to a dinner with the staff and needed to make sure the guy didn't follow us. Kev basically told us to all get going and he would explain later. Needless to say the way Kev told us to get moving we all got out of there like the building was on fire! We made it out safely...mostly. I think I was the only one injured in the great escape. I was running down the stairs next to Jay who at the time was a writer for Newtype. Somebody asked why the rush and he turned around to point at the guy but ended up poking me in the throat! Lucky he didn't poke my eye out! Oh what fun.
4. Should pandas be cloned?
I don't think pandas should be cloned. The entire cloning thing is really not all it's cracked up to be. Like Dolly for instance. The age of her cells etc was the same as the donor sheep. You end up with a new old animal. It's like they are born with Progeria. More research needs to be done before it becomes (if at all) a useful medical method to continue a species.
5. Does the Cupid Panda help H.O.B.O. saddled fanboys find love?
Cupid Pandas, no, Devil Pandas maybe.
Ewwww, no. Pandas, especially cupid pandas are totally anti-HOBO. For those who don't know, HOBO stands for Horrible Otaku Body Odor. If you have been to a convention I am sure you have smelled these guys who don't bathe. Ewww. No HOBO. This is a HOBO free zone!!
6. If you were with Kiefer Sutherland in a elevator what would you do?
I would probably end up just pretending he wasn't there. I always feel a bit odd about being around stars since they get so many crazed fans I am sure they like not being bugged everytime they are out in public. Now if the elevator got stuck, I would definitely chat with him and ask for an autograph!
7. Will you visit the San Diego zoo to see the pandas this year?
Are you lookin' at me?!
How I would love to. I am not sure if I would be able to. I would really REALLY love to go see the pandas. You know what is really sad is the fact I have never seen pandas in real life with my own eyes. I did look into the requirements to work with pandas. You have to have a PhD in Zoology in order to work with them. Bummer, no simple vet tech allowed. I hope someday I can go see the pandas.
zels hoseki: What cultures are you interested in (like such as, many anime fans are into japan ^_^) learning a lot about?
John's family even makes their own Sauerkraut!
I find Japanese culture very interesting since it is my heritage. Next to that I find Germans very interesting too. That would be my hubby's background. We do eat lots of traditional foods. I think one of the funny combos I like to eat includes brauts, sauerkraut, white rice and soy sauce. A nice ethic miss mash of foods. Oh and yes, I do own my own dirndl like the good German wife I am. Luckily I can fill out my dirndl! Many Japanese girls are, well, not blessed in the chest area. Just call me the St. Pauli Panda! What can I say, I am every guys dream! Cute panda with huge overflowing...beer steins.
enin: What would your bright happy site look like if it were themed dark and scary?
I am your worst nightmare!
We all know that nothing is more terrifying than something that is super cute. Fear the cuteness of the Panda!! I am not sure what my site would look like if themed dark and scary. I would probably only go for a black and white theme. I think that is as dark as this Panda's site would ever get. After all panda are black and white. Eats, shoots and leaves. Oh I just love it!
Mouse: 1) Do you ever chat online any more via YM or MSN Messenger?
I can't keep up!
Oh hardly ever. With my RA it has been very difficult to keep up the pace of messengers. The last time I was on a messenger was AIM a while back. I did get to chat with a few of you guys. That is when I was inspired by Lady K to do some fan art. I really don't spend much time on messengers anymore. Darn achy joints! Bah!
2) Do you have time to respond to emails?
Gah!
Ok Mister Mouse, I will email you. I have been really REALLY bad about responding to emails. You know you can always call me! Oh the guilt! I will try to be better about emails. Now this is really bad. My neighbors asked my best friend if she had seen me! I swear, I am going to be the talk of the neighborhood. I am sure that they all think that John has either killed me or is keeping me lock in a box under the floor boards. One day they were out walking their dog and John made me go outside and wave to them. Their response when seeing me was "You are alive!!" John told them: "See, I didn't kill her!". It's bad when the neighbors think I am dead. I really need to get out of the house more often. I really need to start communicating with people more. >_<;;
Doc G: In an issue of Scientific American, (which I borrowed from my teacher), They talk of the Loop Quantum Theory. What is it?
You have got to be kidding.
You are truly an evil person for asking me this question. In a very watered down vague definition would be the theory trying to unite quantum theory and relativity. Two great theories that aren't great together! The two theories aren't thought of as being compatible so this is a bit of a controversial theory. Other than that, I am not an expert on the subject so I am sure someone else could explain this in a much clearer, detailed way.
Mamma Vash: What would be the first thing a Panda president would want to do in office?
Take Washington by force!
Well, the very first thing is wonder why I am there. I am not a musician,actor or professional wrestler...so there really is no good reason for a Panda to be in office.
-What would be your favorite bedtime story, and snack?
zzzz
My favorite bedtime story...hmmm, I don't have one. Strange isn't it. But a favorite snack. That I do have! I love to have hot cocoa before bedtime. It always makes me feel all warm inside...literally!
Phew! That was a bunch of work. Hope you enjoyed my answers. Hopefully I didn't miss any questions. If I did I will pick them up tomorrow. I am off to get some rest. For some strange reason my RA decided to flare up in my ankles today. It sucks. Oh well. Before I go I wanted to thank you all for the well wishes for my friend. She is doing pretty well considering. Love you all and hope you are on your way to a great weekend!
