3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

My questions were from sapphirestar_
  

1. What fandoms are you in? 
Oh, lord. Mostly anime/manga. The fandoms I'm currently active in includes: xxxHolic, One Piece, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Petshop of Horrors, Naruto, and Bleach. Especially One Piece and xxxHolic -- those two own my soul. I'm really in to Kingdom Hearts, and I'm getting in to Supernatural (damn, Dean is hot).

2. What are you studying, if anything at all?
A nurse! I'm a sophmore at  my local college, so I have a couple more years to go. D: I hate school, but I hate working even more. So I'm enjoying my summer break while I still have one.

3. What other interests and/or hobbies do you have? 
Besides manga and anime, I like video games, music, and writing. I like to talk and laugh, too. It might not seem like a hobby to most, but as much as I talk and laugh it really IS a hobby. >.> I, uh, babble. Frequently. Oh! I also like to watch cartoons. Not anime, but  cartoons like The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Tom and Jerry, and the like.

4. What did you want to become when you were a child? 
That changed every week! Haha, but... I wanted to be a cop, a forensic scientist, a writer, an actor, a librarian, a firemen, and a vet.

5. What are your favourite books?
Books! One of my favorite subjects evar. I really like Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' series, the 'Dark Tower' series by Stephen King, and 'The Mediator' series by Meg Cabot. The rest of the books would have to be manga, and there's too many books that I love to try and pick my favorite. I HAVE AN ADDICTION, OKAY? *sob*

Huh. Looking back on this, I've just realized:

I'm boring. And as my friend Sarah would say - *Le gasp*

 THE RED WINGS WON! YESSSSSSSS!

XD Doesn't sound boring to me! But yeah, books rock. My bedroom is overflowing with books as I speak, but I can't bring myself to read any of the new ones until my sister finishes the last book in the western series I've been reading so I CAN FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS TO SAM!!! I love Sam. He's awesome. ^^ (And 42 with no love life. Poor guy. XD But he has a pet dog named Beauregard!!!)

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

DEAN IS RATHER HOT, YES. >DD but yeah, i'm in all of those fandoms except for petshop and one piece. i've been thinking of watching them, though, because i hear so much good about them. are there any ghei otp's in those, by any chance? >DD

and BOOKS YAY. i must check out your favourites - i've sort of been should-i-should-i-not about reading the dark tower -series, as well as pratchett's discworld, but i guess i really should read them, just not now - i've got finals coming up next here, so sadly i don't have much time for fiction. D:

and you're not boring at all! if you are, then so am i. :D i've got pretty much the same interests as you and stuff, after all. XDD

[genuinelie.livejournal.com]

Hello darkness, hello sunshine...hello not at all, hello all the time...

(I like cartoons too XD. Also, Discworld is something that's been reccommended to me, a lot.)

[popkin16]

:D I guess it just seemed boring to me. I don't have a room big enough for all my books, so I have some in my room, and a lot in storage.

So...you're reading a Western series, but the last book is currently being read by your sister. You want to read the last book to find out what happens to Sam? (I don't get the 42 with no love life, thing. >.> Sorry. Ooo, Beauregard! That sounds like a really sophisticated name for a dog).

[popkin16]

DEAN MAKES ME FEEL RATHER WARM. >.> OMG, YOU HAVE TO READ PETSHOP OF HORRORS! The anime is only like 4 episodes long, which so doesn't give the series justice. You'd have to read the manga (I know where you can read the entire series online). The two main character's are both male, and the ghei is pretty much canon. I TELL NO LIES. *nod* XD

One Piece - oh. my. god. I cannot tell you how great this series is. And how amazing the fandom is. The best I can come up with is: adsk;adsiewvkabp. As for teh ghei otp, I'll let you find your own favorite (if you decide to give One Piece a try). There's SO MANY PAIRINGS to choose from. Once you get in to the series a little bit, I'll tell you my OTP. BUT DOOD. If you decide to watch the anime, stick with it. In the beginning the quality is a little...meh. But once you get farther into the series, it gets better. I read the manga first, so I already knew how awesome the series was, so I never gave up on the anime. And some of the characters are hot. (And I'm so, so sorry for going on and on about One Piece, but I just love it so much).

Oo, let me know what you thought about the books if you decide to read some of the ones I mentioned. I hope you like them. Which type of books do you like?

I thought the way I wrote my interests and whatnot was boring. I just...there was nothing funny about it.

[rushofcadence.livejournal.com]

lol, yeah i think a lot of people find their own life to be boring simply because it's become monotonous to them, yet it's new a fresh for other people.

Anyhow, about Sam. *happy sighs* I love Sam . . . such a good ending. Hehe, I just finished the last book. And I correct myself. He's not 42 years old. He's only 36. XD I'm so bad with numbers! Haha. *cough* Yes, good old Beau even saves Sam's life. ^^ In the end, Sam gets his true love and they live happily ever after. Good stuff.

[anna-q.livejournal.com]

Curiosity got the best of me so I googled Petshop of Horrors - wanting to know more about that series. OMG - they sound so canon !! I'm going to hunt down the manga XD

Thanks for the suggestion!!

[popkin16]

You're so welcome! Thank you for giving it a try. XD Let me know if you'd like a link to the site where you can read it online, no downloading. I know some people prefer to read it in real life, and not on the computer, so I'd completely understand if you don't want the link. :D

[popkin16]

That's so true! I never thought about it like that.

I adore happy endings. I'm glad he gets his true love and the happily ever after. I've never read a Western book, because I thought they would be boring. What book are you reading? Or were, since you finished the last book.

Oh! And would you like some questions?

[popkin16]

Cartoons are great! ♥ I enjoy talking about some of the older ones too from my childhood. Do you have a favorite?

Discworld was a series I heard a lot of people say good things about, so I thought I'd give it a try. You should too, it's really worth reading :)

Would you like some questions? :D

[rushofcadence.livejournal.com]

lol

I'd never read a western either, but these are pretty good. Not exactly thrillers, but I adore the man character, Sam, in case you hadn't gathered. XD They're all mysteries written in the first person. I love the first person. The books I'm reading are by Sigmund Brouwer. There are four in the series called Sam Keaton: Legends of Laramie, and the republished versions of the books are Evening Star, Silver Moon, Sundance, and Thunder Voice.

Questions? Sure! Wait, what sort of questions?

[popkin16]

:D I think I might have gotten the idea you liked Sam from somewhere. >.> Not sure from where, though. Ohhh, for some reason I never thought of Sigmund Brouwer as a western writer. Thriller and/or mystery, sure. But when I thought about his books, it was never in a Western setting.

LOL! Well, according to the meme, 5 personal questions I ask to get to know you better. *Nod* I promise they won't be too bad.

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

HE MAKES ME FEEL RATHER GIDDY, TOO.

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<_<>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

HE MAKES ME FEEL RATHER GIDDY, TOO. <_< I DO? THEN I SHALL. and lol whut, four episodes? XDDD that's got to be the shortest anime i have ever known to exist. a-and PRACTICALLY CANON OMG WHUT I GO READ NOW YES. but i think my sister might have downloaded the manga, so i could start immediately! YAY!

... s-so <i>many</i>? ... i rather like the sound of that. >DDD I SHALL FORCE MY WAY INTO THAT ONE AS WELL. from what i've gathered, it's quite ... cracky. is that true? XDD (AHAH it's alright, i like your enthusiasm. IT'S THE SIGN OF TEH TRUE FANGIRL. XDDD)

alright. and, well. i don't know, really. i sort of read everything, but i'd rather it was prettily written with a good enough plot. that's pretty much the only thing i need for a book to be good. 8DD but i do dislike detective novels, but everything else? BRING IT ON.

really? o.O i didn't think so. :)

[anna-q.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm reading online. Don't think it's gonna be an easy hunt in real life. As I'm writing, I'm on my way through the 7th volume since morning! Oh dear I'm totally hooked!!!

Btw do you know any good fanfic on this series?

[genuinelie.livejournal.com]

If you'd like to give them to me, lol!

[popkin16]

Okay then. :D I haven't been able to find a store that carries them in real life. I'm going to have to order them from Barnes and Noble. WOAH, the 7th volume already? You're zooming through that series!

As for fanfics for PSoH, here's my memories: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=popkin16&keyword=Petshop+of+Horrors&filter=all

http://nym.amplexus.org/ff/ficindex_byfandom.html#psoh

and http://telanu.thirteenblackbirds.net/shop.html

If you have an account on fanfiction.net, then I can give you my name on there and you can check out my favorites, because I have some there, too. XD

Would you like some questions, too?

[rushofcadence.livejournal.com]

Well, the westerns are mysteries. That counts, right? XD Actually, he's both a great historical fiction and science fiction writer, though I admit that while his sci-fis are good, I like the historical fictions better. XD He puts a lot of research into them and pulls them off wonderfully, like you're living during that time. Tis awesome.

Anyhow, I should do those 5 questions. Been I while since I updated . . .

[anna-q.livejournal.com]

Oh sure. Bring it on!

XD

[anna-q.livejournal.com]

Haish. Stupid me forgetting to thank you for that links. I'm sure gonna check them out!

Thank you so much!

[popkin16]

You're very welcome! Some of them might be spoilers for the last volume, so I'd be careful. I'm so happy to be spreading the PSoH love!

[popkin16]

I'm not sure if you meant, "Bring it on" as in give the link to my fanfiction.net account or "Bring it on" as in gimme some questions, so...I'll just do both (just to be safe).

http://www.fanfiction.net/~severusfan Check out my favorites for the fics.

And as for some questions...
1. What hobbies do you have?
2. Do you go to school, or do you work? If so, what are you studying/have as a job?
3. What are some fandoms you're in? I know a few (like One Piece, xxxHolic, etc.) but is that it?
4. What are some of your favorite books?
5. If you could have one wish granted, what would you ask for?

[popkin16]

Okay! XD

1. What hobbies do you have?
2. What fandoms are you in? I know One Piece, but are there any others?
3. If you could have one wish granted, what would you ask for?
4. What are your favorite books?
5. Do you have any tv shows you're particularily fond of?

[anna-q.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Sorry for the confusion. It was meant for the questions but thanx for listing the links too. I was ecstatic to see there are many of them! Would you mind if I put your collection in LJ for my memory?

I've read up to Shin PsOH. I miss Leon. I truly do. I mean - I want D with him - I miss their actions. Personally, I found Taizu quite annoying. Ironic, isn't it? Because that man isn't really much different from Leon except for his manners.

I miss Leon :(

Sorry for the ramblings. I guess I really like that character. Honestly I can't wait for them to meet again.

As for the tag, I'll sure do it for my next post! XD

[genuinelie.livejournal.com]

1. Hm...I wish I had more, lol. I suppose writing (obvious one), reading (also obvious), I used to take Tae Kwon Do (I'm a green belt) but I gave that up a little over two years ago...*is boring!*...idk if you'd count traveling as a hobby or not, but I love doing it...
2. The one that has somewhat eclipsed One Piece is Weiss Kreuz...I'm a mod of a WK RP ( The Black Cross ) and I've been writing in that fandom (obsessed, to be honest), FMA is LOVE but I find it hard to write, so I don't (often, lol)...I used to like reading Trigun, but that fandom is fairly dead...I've been reading Saiyuki these days too (GojyoxHakkai).
3. Wishes scare me. It's the time-old lesson of you really don't know how they'd be granted.
4. Tad Williams' "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" trilogy, Patricia C. Wrede's "Dragon" series, Garth Nix's "Sabriel", Lynn Flywelling's "Nightrunner" trilogy (it's like fanfic!), Dianna Wynne Jones' "Chrestomanci" series and "Howl's Moving Castle", James Thurber's "The Thirteen Clocks", Lloyd Alexander's "The Cat Who Wished to Be A Man"...you know, I mostly prefer YA books, with the exception of "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" and "Nightrunner".
5. Haha. *gulp* - America's Next Top Model and So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway, Heroes (if it ever returns! Augh!), the X-Files (though it's over), Torchwood (is LOVE!!!!)

^_^

[kakairupowns.livejournal.com]

Cartoons rock XD

Books… don't even get me started! :D My bedroom is covered, and I have several bookshelves around my house filled as well =P Reading is one of my favorite pastimes :)

<3

Okay, lyric…

"So what if you can see, the darkest side of me,
no one will ever change this animal I have become,
help me believe, it's not the real me,
somebody help me tame this animal I have become"
