What's the story behind rdj?

Do you predict Purvis will ask "why am I your favorite?"

What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done? By the same token, what's your proudest moment?

What's the story behind rdj?

When I was little, and discovered the internet for the first time, I wanted my mom to help me register for Neopets. Her suggestion was to first make an e-mail address that was easy for me to remember, and suggested using things I already knew. I ended up going with rdj522 -- a combination of my initials and my birthday, February 52nd May 22nd. I've stuck with that ever since.

Do you predict Purvis will ask "why am I your favorite?"

Yes.

What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done? By the same token, what's your proudest moment?

The most embarrassing thing I've ever done... First thing to come to mind is during my junior year of high school, when a good female friend of mine had baked me some cheesecake bites with a chocolate-chip crust. I tried one, and noticed that they were a bit burnt on the crust side. Being the (sometimes brutally) honest person I am, I told her that.

She wouldn't speak to me for the rest of the week, and I felt both sheepish and miserable about it.

As for my proudest moment, it'd have to be the accomplishment of graduating in the top 1% of my high school class. Frankly, I think I should have been lower, since quite a few of the people "below" me had displayed quite a bit more knowledge of the world, particularly in politics. Still, it was amazing to be up there with the best of them when we received our diplomas.

Reason for GC?

I was raised Nintendo, so there you go.

Your work?

Snowdens of Yesteryear?

The obligatory "Who is your favorite touhou?" question.

The obligatory "How awesome am I?" question.

The obligatory "How did you get your modshiplikeness? question.

I applied for SJ way back when, asking if there was a way I could help out the board. After a while, I forgot about it until SUDDENLY GREEN EVERYWHERE :o

Please wait 30 to 35 minutes for delivery.

Favorite obligatory question?

"What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

If you stopped slacking on things, what would be the first thing you'd get around to doing?

If I had been asked this at the start of this week, I'd have replied that I would get my assignment for my communications class out of the way early so that the rest of the week could be used to relax. Since yesterday, however, I've been more concerned with how I can help people, in whatever manner I can.

REAL MEN drink POWERSQL!

Really, though, I can't answer the question as I only know Java.

Depends on what type of fish it has in its mouth, as well as whether it's African or European.

Ahh yes, RDJ!

What is your favorite kind of activity?

What have you pooled the most time into?

What would you say was one of your more difficult trials that you had to face?

Everythings gone FUBAR. Two of your ships' generators have gone out, weapons disabled, communications down, remaining power diverted to the shields. Only four out of the ten engines are still online. Your crew is panicking. There is a planet not too far off, whether it has an environment capable of life and the oxygen needed for you and your crew's survival is unknown. In front of you is the mechanism that can possibly thrust your engines forward but will dwindle the power within your shields. If you take no action you have ten minutes until your ship's inevitable destruction. What do you do!?

Why am I better than Ammy?

Because you've got hobo power.

How'd a small town girl like you get mixed up in this crazy kibosh?

I wanted to learn how to use Danmakufu shortly after being introduced to Touhou, and began searching for resources. I came across the Danmakufu wiki, which was connected to this site. The rest just fell into place.

If you could change one thing around here, what would it be?

I'm honestly not sure. Things seem to work fine around here as is, from what I've seen.

Why I am your favorite?

Yes.

Shoplifting?

I think shops are typically too heavy for that.

Is it permissible to chuck woodchucks?

Only if they've chucked their wood quota first.

What is your favorite kind of activity?

Sitting somewhere quiet and either reading or doing something else on my own. I'm starting to rethink whether I actually like doing so recently, however...

What have you pooled the most time into?

There's an RP forum I joined when I was relatively new to the internet, based on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. There's still a handful of people there, myself included, even though the head admin left forever ago due to life issues.

What would you say was one of your more difficult trials that you had to face?

Suffice it to say that I developed some *ahem* natural male curiosity prior to high school. And then acted on it. >_>

Took a bit for me to regain my parents' trust after that, and it had also been interfering with my grades. Also, for those who know me better than others, this is also the reason I primarily use Safebooru -- to keep that from happening again.

Everythings gone FUBAR. Two of your ships' generators have gone out, weapons disabled, communications down, remaining power diverted to the shields. Only four out of the ten engines are still online. Your crew is panicking. There is a planet not too far off, whether it has an environment capable of life and the oxygen needed for you and your crew's survival is unknown. In front of you is the mechanism that can possibly thrust your engines forward but will dwindle the power within your shields. If you take no action you have ten minutes until your ship's inevitable destruction. What do you do!?

If waiting will do no good, there is no way to go but forward. To that planet!

If you could dine at any establishment, assuming price/location/companions/meal times aren't a problem, where would you go?

I'd really like to go to Pappadeaux again sometime, if only because I really like seafood. If that's not an option, pretty much any sit-down restaurant is fine with me.

Okay, so who is your least favorite Touhou character?

This used to be Orin for quite a while, based solely on her difficulty when I was trying to 1cc SA Normal (still haven't). Now I'm not sure who it is.

What's your preferred way to deal with stress?

I deal with stress by trying to play games or watch videos that I know will make me laugh under normal conditions, while at the same time trying to pretend nothing's wrong. I've gotten fairly bad at that recently.

Any favourite manga/anime?

I haven't read very many manga at all, so I don't really have an opinion there. Similarly, there are so many anime I haven't watched due to time constraints as well as "...eh, there are other things I can do" that my current favorite of Ika Musume would probably change if I started watching more.

And outside of that, favourite books and movies?

My favorite book...tough decision. ...I keep thinking of Brave New World for some reason, even though the entire premise of it is depressing.

As for movies, I don't watch too many of them these days. Out of my childhood favorites, it'd have to the The Wizard of Oz. By far.

Which real-life person is your idol?

(Not American Idol, I mean someone you actually look up to in nigh-reverence)

Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Despite his less popular decisions before AND during World War II (court-packing plan, Japanese internment, etc.), he was able to hold a nation in shambles together with his New Deal policies until the war kick-started the economy again. It takes a true leader to make the most out of a situation like that.

I tend to just eat whatever's around over the course of the day, but of course meal times have larger portions. I typically don't eat breakfast, though.
