Seriously though, you're my best friend, we have a lot of common interests, and you've helped me through some really rough times in my life. Perhaps that's why. <3
Should I change The Satori Maiden's Christmas Wish's status in the PSL catalog to "neglected FOREVER"?

It's right here, open at all times. I haven't forgotten .______.
If I am not mistaking, you had that one girl in your avatar + signature with the large glasses. Who is she and why do you do that.
That was Matsuri Sakuragi, my favorite character and namesake, from Ichigo Mashimaro.
Because strawberries.
(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll65/momijitsukuyomi/sutekikisekikanpeki.gif)
Where'd you get the name "Matsuri" from?
See above!
What is your favorite pastime?
A year ago, I would have said watching anime and reading manga. Two years ago all the way to when I was just a little kid, I'd say video games.
That said, I haven't been doing anywhere near as much of either in the past year or so in comparison to how much I used to. I just like hanging around online with my friends-- though I have really been getting into photography, as well. I'd have to say that'd be my favorite indoor and outdoor pastimes, respectively.
What is your greatest achievement in life, what your greatest failure?
I'd have to say my greatest failure was allowing myself to become a timid, introverted, self-loathing mess through the nightmare that was high school.
On the other hand, I'd say getting out of all that was a pretty great achievement-- though I absolutely cannot say I did it alone-- I had a lot of help, and I'll always be grateful for it. <3
Why is it I always have the urge to refer to you as a "she" when I know that this is inaccurate?
Probably because I had the top femininity score and lowest masculinity score on the BSRI a year or so ago. That said, I dunno why you have that urge-- it's not like I hide my actual gender. :P
When is the festival?
When is it ever not festival time? You lost me. o_o
Night or day?
I don't really have a preference! Nighttime is quiet, peaceful, and calming, and daytime is time for doing things. :3
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Oh god. Hmmm.
If I could do away with prejudice and avarice and just have people just generally care about those less fortunate than them, it'd be pretty great.
I know it's not the most inspired or interesting answer, but to be honest, it's not something I've put much thought into. I'll have to think a lot more about that.
Was this intentional?
I actually didn't notice until you mentioned it Of course it was!
Yes.
Seriously. 8)
How did you arrive at MotK in the first place?
The same way I discovered Touhou, actually. My first online friend, who I have known for years, introduced me to them. :3
Who said we're wack?
You did, clearly. :P
MATSY
Why is Rainbow Resort about as good as it gets?
Because Rainbow Resort bros. 8)
/me brofist.
Why are you accepted as legal tender?
I still don't know where this is all coming from. Ferrets are not currency.
/me looks at Kerigis.
Or food.
:<
What would you consider to one of the more memorable moments on MotK, Thread / Event wise? Why did you like it so much?
The Special Anniversary Board (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/board,28.0.html)! I personally found it to be a blast to be a part of its execution. :3
If you could bring something in (or back if it existed before) to MotK, what would it be and why?
Mmm, pretty much everything currently mentioned here (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,9575.0.html), I suppose.
Do you love doing things for us lovely people?
I always did have fun surprising folks with name changes, avatar switchings, fake bans, and so on. Haven't done as much of that as I used to, though. :<
If all Admins, Mods and other users of a high title were to engage in a contest to end all contests, who would win and why?
Also, would you let us 'idiots' decide what the contest involves? :derp:
You 'idiots' should come up with more contests amongst yourselves first! :derp:
As for who would win, it'd all depend on what the contest was, I suppose. =O
Why are you drawn to Ellen, in all seriousness?
Originally, it was because I really loved her theme. However, after reading more into her, she became one of my favorite characters-- if not entirely because of her memory loss issues. I myself have a really lousy memory, and it frustrates me a lot-- so... eh, I dunno. Something like that.
Also, because fuwafuwa.
What is more important to you in a game: Scorin' or Goalin'?
While I was notorious a year or so ago for being all AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MUST PLAY FOR SCORE AT ALL COSTS, THE 1CC WILL COME LATER-- I eventually realized that I was getting more frustrated at playing games when I was forcing myself to play them for score. So at this point, I'd say they're both equally important to me, I suppose?
who the fuck are you
(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll65/momijitsukuyomi/1297499890679.jpg)
Who the hell do you think I am?!
What is your favorite way to eat strawberries?
With more strawberries. :3
What led you to pick the Psychic type as your favorite type of Pokemon?
Well, I like Grass and Steel types just as much! It's a three-way tie.
That said, it's probably because the Psychic type was so hilariously overpowered in the first generation. :P
What is your fondest childhood memory?
Probably when the whole Pok?mon craze started, and all of a sudden, it became a common interest among people who wouldn't normally associate with each other. It was sort of a fun way to make new friends. :3

Your favorite Pok?mon?
Any advice for people who want to get more involved in the MoTK community?

[19:38:52] <Matsurnia-Teppelin> There were so many all at once, I'm sorry :<
[19:38:57] <Matsurnia-Teppelin> Fixing that now
Hi Matsuri! o/
Your taste in anime is somewhat-similar to mine! Which do you prefer: Action/Adventure or Slice-of-Life/Comedy?
To be honest, the only slice-of-life I can still say I'm really fond of is Ichigo Mashimaro. Barasui just has a unique sense of humor that you don't really see anywhere else, and none of the other slice-of-life shows compare in my eyes.
I'd have to say Action/Adventure, of the two options.
Your favorite Pok?mon?
Mm, it's a split between Lilligant, Jirachi, Celebi, and Togekiss, I guess. I don't have a definite, absolute above-all favorite.
Any advice for people who want to get more involved in the MoTK community?
Don't be afraid to talk to people. They're not going to bite your head off.
Are you, in person, fluffy?
My hair kind of is, I guess. o_o
What do you want to do when you grow up?
I just wanna help people in any way I can.
What are the existential ramifications of OBJECT?
OBJECT is simply a concept of STUFF.
Which is a concept of THING.
Which is simply a part of IT.
Which is only a tiny piece of THAT.
It never ends, my friend.
List of electronics you have. Everything.
More than I'd like to bother to count. I do use my laptop and camera the most out of all of them, however. >_o

STRAWBERRY DRILLS OR STRAWBERRY SWORDS
QUICK, YOUR MASCOT NOBU'S LIFE DEPENDS ON THE ANSWER
As manly and awesome as drills are, the answer will always be swords.
So, :sword!:
music
I don't really have an absolute favorite genre/style of music, to be honest. I tend to jump around from video game soundtracks to anime OPs/EDs/OSTs to other random whatnots.
At the moment, I'm quite fond of music from the Mother/Earthbound series (since I have played through Mother 1 and will soon finish Mother 3 within about a week of each other), but I've also been listening to stuff by School Food Punishment, marble, Shoji Meguro, Rise Against, Yuki Kajiura, and Kalafina recently.
What are your opinions on the girls in Xenophilia? B)
I'm very intrigued by Hiroko's character development, and look forward to seeing what you're going to do with her in the future.
As for Sakuri... damn. ;_______;
Are you into sports? If so, what sport do you like the most?
More fun to play, less fun to watch. That said, I don't really watch or play sports, nor would I be particularly good at them. I probably wouldn't say no to watching them or playing them if someone else wanted me to do so with them, though. I'm indifferent, I suppose.
Where would you like to live if you could escape the dread clutches of Indiana?
I've never been west of Chicago, I admit. I'd love to head that way and see what I could find. :3
Alright pal let's do this thing.
Gorbachev vs Trotsky, no holds barred ladder match. Who wins and who loses?
I am ashamed to say that I know little more of Russian history beyond what is mentioned in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWTFG3J1CP8).
That said, Gorbachev-- simply because I was Matshail Gorbachev back when we did the commie hijack. :x
What's the deal with Indiana?
I think the sheer boredom of this place drives people into insanity-- or submission, to the point where they don't even make the effort to leave. When people say they like it here, my only response is '...why?'
Aside from that, we have corn, conservatives, construction, corn, churches, and corn. :<
Why come no Ellen manga?
Because I keep forgetting to ask how I'm supposed to properly scan it so it can be scanlated/translated/whatever. I suck. :fail:
Why I am your favorite?
Because I'm your favorite. Search your heart, for you know it's true. :smug:
Why do all these punks keep biting my style?
They just hate you 'cause they ain't you.
What's your approach to moderating a problem?
Depends on the problem. I'm online around the clock (though this is somewhat of an illusion thanks to the 15-minute login timeout, as far as time online goes, as I'm often juggling tasks, and am often just refreshing every so often to keep track of stuff, such as mod reports and threads I've been paying attention to), so I'm usually around to respond to things as quickly as possible. That said, if it's a simple offense or issue, I just fix it up as I see it. For more complex issues and problems, I tend to wait for other staffers' input before deciding what I think of it. I dislike jumping to conclusions (and I admit it's something I have a tendency to do), so I do try to wait until I at least think I can see all sides of an issue before deciding where I stand.
Have you ever fought a ferret?
When I was a little kid. Little bastard bit me. >_>
Still love 'em, though :3
Stargate?
Haven't watched it, I'm afraid.
Recommend three anime I need to watch.
Hmm.
I have no idea if you've seen them or not, but Revolutionary Girl Utena (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=207), Kaiba (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=9178), and Kuuchuu Buranko/Trapeze (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10953) come to mind. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on 'em.
Stance on vegetarianism.
I'd be a vegetarian myself if it wasn't for poultry and seafood, I suppose. Not really into any other kinds of meat.
/me shrugs.
It's all cool with me. :3
Favorite apocalypse scenario.
Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZpqRmRXEBw&feature=related)
Draw?
'fraid not. I tend to have more fun taking pictures of things instead of drawing them myself. I'm not much of an artist. :x
How many's a crowd?
It's not the number of people, it is the size of the area they are in. :P
Destroy one historical monument without ramifications, provide reasoning.
I can't think of one I'd actually want to destroy. :<
Favorite mythology.
I recall being quite fond of Greek mythology a while ago, but I have found myself more interested in the youkai, gods, and so on of Japanese folklore as well. Haven't read too much into it yet though, I'm afraid.
One actor/actress you would want to spend a day with.
Not really crazy about actors and actresses and so on, I'll admit. I'm not sure. :x
Imagine life without fruits.
A life without fruit is no good life, sir. :<
If you could be any class in an Etrian Odyssey game besides gunner, which would you be?
Hmm. Protector, or Alchemist!

Damn it all, I had all of my answers typed up, and I stupidly pressed Refresh instead of Preview. Argh -__-
Let's try this again.
Satori vs Koishi cagematch. Who wins?
What Satori lacks in power, she makes up for in strength of will. That said, Koishi's abilities could still prove to be very much formidable against that.
Really, I think it'd be a draw.
If you could change any historical event to have an outcome of your choosing, what would it be and why?
I had been considering such things back in my history class last semester. Like, how would the world be now if Pope Urban II had dropped dead before starting the Crusades, for example? What would have happened to Europe had the plague not killed off 1/3-1/2 of its population? Stuff like that.
Why have we not yet met up for swords and awesome?
Lack of funds and time on my end, I suppose-- and I'd never ask anyone to come and suffer in Indiana BV
Do you have some kind of object that means a lot to you?
My laptop is my connection to the world outside of the little bubble I'm more or less trapped in here. It's my connection to my closest friends, a form of entertainment, and a near-boundless source of information. It has more functions and utilities than I know what to do with, functions as a notebook that virtually never runs out of paper, and so on-- all in a tiny, compact machine that weighs approximately three pounds. *_*
Oh, and my glasses, I guess. I'm kind of useless without them.
Favourite color?
Anything with red. Red itself, purple, orange, and pink. :3
What things do you usually take pictures of?
Flowers! Once I get around to it, I'll be making a thread for my best photos.
How did you end up here?
I go wherever the wind takes me. It just happened to send me here.
Seriously though, I already answered this question. :<
Not so serious question:
What time is it?
Festival time.
All the time.
(It WAS 1:13 when I originally answered this. It is now 3:03, as I type these very words.)
What type of candy do you like? Sweet or Sour? Chewy or Crunchy?
I prefer sweet to sour, and have no preference between chewy or crunchy-- unless it comes to candy bars and whatnot, in which crunchy is preferable.
That said, I don't really eat candy much. :x
If you could choose anyone from past, present, or future and be stuck on a deserted island with them, who would it be?
Someone who I could trust with absolutely every bit of me. It would be rough being with someone I wouldn't get along very well with-- or worse, someone who has no qualms of making me an emergency meal. ._____.
Siblings?
I have one brother-- twelve years old.
Obligatory how did you become a member of staff?
Rather rapidly, I must say. I applied for Shrine Janitor in November '09, and was a Global Mod just after the April Fools' incident. I was later promoted to Admin around last September.
Technically, I'm supposed to be helping run Henrietta, Triela's sister server. However, I'm still waiting for TSO to tell me exactly what I'm supposed to be doing with that. ^^;
Obligatory so what DO you do here, what's your function?
A bit of everything, really! I still function as a Janitor, but now that we have a small army of Janitors, they tend to beat me to the punch. Most of the time, I just answer mod reports as they come up, provide input on more complex issues, and take action when necessary.
Chicken or Sea Bass?
Can't say I recall ever having sea bass before. Chicken, by default, I suppose.
Also, it's surprising that you're an Indiana resident too, because so am I! :o
Considering going to GenCon-Indy this year?
Last year had this one video game music concert. Video Games Live I think it was called. (Still pissed that they didn't have Magus' Theme in the Chrono Trigger segment...)
I did not even know about that-- but even so, not particularly :ohdear:
Baseball, Football(Soccer), Football(American), or Basketball.
Which of these sports is your game of choice?
Baseball and Football Handegg bore me to sleep. Basketball and soccer are much more interesting to watch, and I'd probably enjoy playing them more, as well.
Ever played Magic: the Gathering before?
Once or twice, with people I was hanging around with at college. They had a spare deck on hand, and let me learn to play with it. It's okay. =O
What's your D&D Alignment of choice?
I don't play D&D, but I'd probably say Chaotic/Neutral Good.
Your opinion on Text Adventures?
I haven't really looked into them, so I'd have to say I'm indifferent.
Who's got the best sword in all of Gensokyo?
Tenshi. 8)
Even been in a strawberry crisis? How about a raspberry trap?
Sure I have. Mix 'em together, and you get one of my favorite breakfast cereals, as well! :V
What would you do for the touhou of your dreams?
I can't say, in the three years I have been a Touhou fan, that I have ever had an actual Touhou-based dream. :P
Respect +++++++++++++++++++++
I've been fond of Rise Against for ages-- in fact, they're one of the very, very, very few bands I am still fond of from my angsty adolescent years. I'm rather new to Kajiura, though. Good stuff.
Sorry the responses are so late, folks. :x
-
pressed Refresh instead of Preview. Argh -__-
How does that even happen
Also get more and more into Kajiura Yuki as you can, for she is a god

Satori vs Koishi cagematch. In capes and nothing else. Who wins?
What is the last good book you've read?
-
Arashi vs Ruro cagematch. Who wins?
-
Satori vs Koishi cagematch. In capes and nothing else. Who wins?
everyone :yumemi:
Serious answer: Satori, overwhelmed with the thoughts of her audience, would be paralyzed in embarrassment. Koishi would likely win. :V
What is the last good book you've read?
I've slowly been working my way through Fuyumi Ono's Twelve Kingdoms series, and the most recent book I finished was the second one. I have a copy of the third and fourth on hand, so I'll be picking those back up right away, as soon as I get a couple other things out of the way. :3
Arashi vs Ruro cagematch. Who wins?
Depends. Who is Arashi's Rose Bride, and do you think they can compare to the Rurolutionary Girl Utena + Anthy Himematsy team? 8)

Welp, if you ever decide to co to GenCon-Indy, and we bump into each other, I'll be more than happy to play a few rounds of M:tG with ya.
I hardly ever find any worthy opponents 'round where I live anyhow, so it's terribly dull.
As you stated earlier on, it's pretty much..
Corn, Conservatives, Corn, Construction, Corn, Churches, and Corn.
Or in my words..
Boring, boring, side order of boring, and oh look, more boring.
Long story short, Indiana's a nice and quiet place to visit, but you sure as heck wouldn't want to live here.
Unless it's one of the cities, then it's a pretty okay place.
And i agree with ya on the sports things, basketball's a way more enjoyable sport.
I remember the time I practically sunk a 3-pointer on accident...High pass gone wrong if you must know. (To this very day, I still wonder how I pulled it off.)
But anyhow, back to asking questions!
Ar Tonelico 1, 2 or 3. Which one has the overall best OST?
Would you go to GenCon-Indy if given a chance? (For those of you who love Mechwarrior, Rejoice! They have a Mechwarrior VR simulation tourney!)
How would you describe yourself in 50 or less words?
Swordsman, Lancer, Archer, or mage?
-
Ellen's Magic Shop vs Rainbow Resort cagematch. Which would come out the most fuwa fuwa?
What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
-
Donut vs Sapz vs Baity cagematch, who has more DoDoDoDoDons per Pachi?
-
ALL YOUR KETSUI ARE BELONG TO ZENGAR?
-
How good are you at the Touhou games?
What would you like to do as a career?
If you could just observe any era of history without interacting with it in any way, what location in space-time would you choose to watch and why?
Strawberry it easy?

I don't even remember how to play. I'm afraid you'd throw me around like a rag doll. :ohdear:

I will give Indiana that much-- it's much more tolerable in the city than it is in the countryside. That's not saying much, though, because there really isn't that much to see in Fort Wayne. :/
But anyhow, back to asking questions!
Ar Tonelico 1, 2 or 3. Which one has the overall best OST?
I've actually never played any of the three, or heard any music from them, either. I'm afraid I have no opinion here!
Would you go to GenCon-Indy if given a chance? (For those of you who love Mechwarrior, Rejoice! They have a Mechwarrior VR simulation tourney!)
I suppose it'd be an opportunity to try to take pictures of people instead of flowers, I suppose. =O
How would you describe yourself in 50 or less words?
An optimist to a fault, whose main goals in life are to love, and to be loved, and to be happy, and to make others happy.
Swordsman, Lancer, Archer, or mage?
Swordsman!
Ellen's Magic Shop vs Rainbow Resort cagematch. Which would come out the most fuwa fuwa?
Ellen is indeed the queen of fuwafuwa. Rainbow Resort, sadly, would not stand a chance.
What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
That I'm willing to fess up to? Using soap/shampoo/conditioner marketed toward women. Sorry, I'd much rather smell like a strawberry or a rose than a forest or a rock. BV
Donut vs Sapz vs Baity cagematch, who has more DoDoDoDoDons per Pachi?
Sapz. Gotta give it to the man I took under my wing to introduce to arcade shmups, with DoDonPachi being the first one I threw at him.
THEY GROW UP SO FAST ;_______________________________;
ALL YOUR KETSUI ARE BELONG TO ZENGAR?
FOR GREAT JUSTICE 8)
How good are you at the Touhou games?
Somewhere in between Normal and Hard, I suppose.
What would you like to do as a career?
As I said earlier, I just want to help people in any way I can-- though I must admit that I would love to do this while wandering around the world. Staying in one place just seems kind of...eh. Life's too short to not get out there and explore the world around us.
If you could just observe any era of history without interacting with it in any way, what location in space-time would you choose to watch and why?
I find this difficult to answer without knowing much about world history beyond...well, the history of Western Civilization, which I took a class in last semester.
That said, I think I'll cheat on this one and say '1000 years from now'-- particularly to look at how the people a millienium ahead of us have changed, and how they view our societies, cultures, and technology-- as what is modern to us would be ancient to them.
Strawberry it easy?
I am currently unable to strawberry it easy, as I have no strawberries.
Once this is remedied, then I am able to strawberry it easy :yukkuri:
-
Well, by "Worthy Opponents", I mean folks to actually play with. M:tG players are a rare occurrence in these parts. :fail:
I'm pretty much out in the boondocks compared to the city-dwellers. Fort Wayne y'say? That was mom's old stompin' grounds when she was younger!
Hell, if I had a car(or even knew how to drive, I don't trust myself behind the wheel of a car) I'd come up there and drag you to GenCon-Indy myself!
As for the pictures, you'd definitely get more of them, one year I even saw someone in a life-size Chewbacca outfit!
And then there's the other cosplays....and Belegarth (http://www.belegarth.com/)...man, I love that game! The guy I fought was a pro, and he was impressed with my sword skills.
What can I say? I think of moves most wouldn't think to execute. :3
And now for the questions....again...but this time with Vocaloid flavor!
Matryoshka or World's End Dancehall?
Who's a better singer, Mystia or Teto?

The fresh air in a forest or in the early morning is the best of all natural scents you take those slut words back
Make me. :colbert:
Are there any limits to the visceral that you can take? (RL photos, writing, etc)
I'd say it all depends on my mood and the subject matter. Not much fazes me, but if you can manage to hit me in the right place, it hits me very, very hard.
If you've watched Madoka Magica, who's your favourite meguca?
I've only seen through episode 7 so far, but my answer is Mami and will likely remain as such, unless something obviously happens to change my mind.
WHY DID YOU PLAY DEMONOPHOBIA???? WHATEVER COMPELLED YOU TO DO SUCH A TERRIBLE THING???? DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL DIRTY AND LIKE YOU'RE A VOYEUR????????
Xenophilia did, actually. I figured it would help me understand the imagery you were trying to convey.
And then I found out that it's a horrible, horrible game :<
Therefore, I blame you. >:<
You should take pictures of fruits. I mean, they're essentially pregnant flowers! OR ARE YOU BIASED AGAINST PREGNANCY.....
OF COURSE I'M NOT :<
Sure, I'd take pictures of fruit, given the chance.
And now for the questions....again...but this time with Vocaloid flavor!
Matryoshka or World's End Dancehall?
Haven't heard the latter, so I'd have to say Matryoshka.
Who's a better singer, Mystia or Teto?
Actually, I have found songs covered by human singers that are infinitely better than any Vocaloid. ^^;

Who's your daddy?

You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?

The fresh air in a forest is one of the best of all natural scents, you take those floosie words back.
Agreed.
Matsuri, did you have a favorite dinosaur back in the day?
What about a favorite animal?
Do you dread going to the dentists' or doctors'?
How is the weather in Indiana?

Favorite gemstone?

Catchphrase.
If given the proper time and resources to make anything you so desire, what would be your first creation?
What is the circumference of a moose?

Sapz. Gotta give it to the man I took under my wing to introduce to arcade shmups, with DoDonPachi being the first one I threw at him.
THEY GROW UP SO FAST ;_______________________________;

Out of all the words in all languages, which one is your favorite word?

Favorite time of the year?

Who's your daddy?
A man who knows more about cars and how they work than anyone I know. Usually pretty laid-back, though he tends to let his temper get the best of him over silly things. Plays video games far more than I do.
You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?
I needed the money, okay? ;_;
Agreed.
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the floral scent of my shower.
Matsuri, did you have a favorite dinosaur back in the day?
I dunno, I wasn't alive back then. :V
Don't really have a favorite though, to be honest.
What about a favorite animal?
Cats, dogs, ferrets. I can't think of any animals I dislike, however, outside of mosquitoes and whatnot. :S
Do you dread going to the dentists' or doctors'?
Dentist: Oh god, yes. I need the nitrous oxide to keep me from flipping out on the poor people who are doing things in my mouth. It does not go well with my anxiety at all.
Doctor: Eh, not really-- generally because If I go to a doctor, it's because I'm sick, and need something to fix it.
How is the weather in Indiana?
Normally, it varies, and can change at the slightest notice.
However, it has rained almost every day for the past three weeks. :/
Favorite gemstone?
Amethyst. Also happens to be my birthstone.
Describe today's popular music in a maximum of three words. They do not have to be in a sentence or phrase.
Auto-tuned failures
Catchphrase.
I... don't think I have one :x
If given the proper time and resources to make anything you so desire, what would be your first creation?
My first creation? A giant, delicious strawberry cake.
What is the circumference of a moose?
I actually googled this to see if it was some sort of joke I didn't know. There's a facebook profile dedicated to the circumference of a moose, however. Huh.

What was your favourite before you discovered Mushihimesama?
You sort of answered your own question! The first shmup to actually get me interested in the genre was, in fact, Mushihimesama. A friend of mine was a fan of the game and mentioned it once, so I looked it up to see this ridiculously complex-looking shooting game with thousands of purple bullets everywhere. From there, I was all 'I MUST PLAY THIS'. Unfortunately, it wasn't on MAME, so that friend told me to give DoDonPachi, Guwange, and ESP Ra.De. a go, instead. They were too hard for me at the time, but that didn't stop me from wanting to play Mushihimesama. I then remembered that a friend of mine had mentioned Touhou to me before, and then I realized 'hey, this kind of reminds me of Mushihimesama, but not as hard!', so I grabbed the PCB demo, and went from there. Unsurprisingly, Mushihimesama, which I obtained the PS2 port for a few months later, is my favorite arcade shmup to this day (this also extends to Futari), and PCB is my favorite Touhou game (though SA, MS, and PoDD are more or less tied for my favorite as well, depending on my mood).
Out of all the words in all languages, which one is your favorite word?
It's as cheesy as can be, but it doesn't make it any less truthful. "Love".
What do you know about Sweden?
Nothing really, I'm afraid :(
Favorite time of the year?
Spring, especially when flowers are blooming.

Power of love, power of friendship, or power of believing in yourself - which is most...powerful in your opinion?
-
Power of love, power of friendship, or power of believing in yourself - which is most...powerful in your opinion?
I would argue that the power of love is already an element of the power of friendship, and occasionally, in the power of believing in yourself. Therefore, I say the power of love is the essence of both of the latter options, and is the most powerful of the three.

As you've said you're an optimist, what would you say to someone who's a pessimist?
Life just isn't long enough to spend your days being negative about everything. Yes, life isn't perfect. Yes, shit happens, and it will keep happening. We've all been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It sucks-- we all know-- and it's okay to be down about things when bad things happen. I'm not the kind of person who says there are silver linings in every situation, and I'm not the type to say optimism is just thinking positive. Optimism, if you ask me, is not simply looking on the bright side, it is trying to be a light that shines to make things bright.
What are your pet peeves?
Miscommunication or lack thereof is always a red flag for disaster.
Oh, and definitely racism/sexism/abuse, etc.
also:
passive-aggression
when people chew with their mouths open
overuse of memes
seriously, cut it out
If the world blew up today, what would you do tomorrow?
Give up on trying to take over the world.
Seriously. I'd be dead.
If you were on a plane about to crash headfirst into the ocean, what would you do?
Assure the person next to me that no matter what happens, they are not alone-- and tell them to pass it on, if possible.
What's the craziest idea you have for a career path? (We all had crazy ideas as brats, right?)
Hmm. I think I wanted to seriously be a hotdog vendor when I was little. :derp:
The hell kinda question is this
It appeared to be a rhetorical one.
The hell kinda question was that
It appeared to be one sans punctuation.
Power of hatred, power of anger, power of despair - which do you think the most powerful?
Well, if anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering-- which I'm sure leads to despair, I'm sure despair has the most blind, sheer desperation behind it. Power of despair, I guess?
Power of kitten, power of bunny, power of marshmallow - which do you think the most powerfuwafuwa?
Mashumaromitainafuwafuwanyanko (http://www.sanrio.co.jp/english/characters/detail/masyumaro/index.html)
If wafu is the anti-fuwa, then Sana is the anti-you. So what would happen if we fused you and Sana together?
Unfortunately, we would cancel each other out. However, it'd be cool to be a fightin' strawberry marshmallow dog... in space 8)
@choose Nodame Cantabile or Kaiba or Nichijou or Azumanga Daioh
Nichijou hasn't really caught my attention, so I haven't watched it.
Azumanga is good for a laugh, but I'd suggest Ichigo Mashimaro over it because I like Barasui's sense of humor more than Azuma's.
I think it'd come down to Kaiba or Nodame. If you want a nice, high-quality show with music and some romantic comedic elements to shut your mind off to and enjoy, go for Nodame. If you want a mindscrew with that will blow your mind, go with Kaiba.
^_^V
What is your favorite thing about MotK?
My friends, of course!

What's the best operating system, in your opinion?
What's better: fun little bonus features or reliability?
Who would be the best parental figure in all of Gensokyo?

What's the best operating system, in your opinion?
I'm quite fond of Windows 7, but any kind of Linux with a GNOME interface seemed pretty cool when I was fiddling around with it last year.
What's better: fun little bonus features or reliability?
I would definitely say 'reliability', unless the fun little bonus features are just that much fun.
Who would be the best parental figure in all of Gensokyo?
Mmmm.... Keine!

What's the best hairstyle for a girl? For a guy?
Ever walk through a place alone, and believe you ran into something of the supernatural?
Do you believe in supernatural beings?

If you had to live in a pre-Enlightenment (or regional equivalent) society, where would you live and why?
Mmmm... ancient Greece might be kind of neat (though as for why, I'm not sure). Maybe Renaissance-era Italy, for art and culture? Or go way, way back and see what society was like back in Mesopotamia or something. I don't know for sure!
Less serious answer: Take me back to the Mesozoic era. I will tame dinosaurs and make them all my companions, crushing, thrashing, or maiming anything that stands in our way. 8)
What is your idea of a relaxing vacation?
Hmm. I'd either love to be surrounded by nature with as little human construction in it as possible (a private island, maybe?) (the more flowers, the better!), or go to a big city and explore, enjoying whatever interesting stores or restaurants I could come across. Having a close friend tag along would be ideal, as well. :3
What's the best hairstyle for a girl? For a guy?
I don't really have that much of a preference for either, really, beyond the fact that I find long hair to be more attractive in general. That said, it depends on the person, since what would look great on one person could look really awkward on someone else. Whatever the person in question wears with the most confidence is best, I suppose. :P
Ever walk through a place alone, and believe you ran into something of the supernatural?
Not seriously, I don't think. I've definitely had apprehensive feelings about walking through seemingly-deserted places alone, though-- any little sound will make me think someone's there, and so on. :<
Do you believe in supernatural beings?
Mmm... I dunno. I mean, in a religious sense, sure, I believe in God and so on-- but if you're talking in terms of creatures of folklore like vampires, werewolves, and so on-- no, I really don't. :X

Don't really care for either. :ohdear:
Mokou's theme is better though, I suppose.

The moon, I guess?
/me shrugs.
What would you like to accomplish this week?
Not being completely useless, I guess.

The moon, I guess? :S

1. Pour copious amounts amounts of oil on the road.
2. Run like hell.

Probably a pterodactyl! That way, I could command my reptilian warriors from above. 8)
What would you do with an army of android lolis?
> Send them to schools as student tutors
> Program them to be very effective (read: armed and dangerous) Girl Scouts; sell cookies; profit
> Dress them up as Touhou characters, send them to cause and solve incidents
> Biggest tea party EVER
...
> Send them all to torment Justin Bieber
Have you ever considered being a teacher?
I did briefly think that it'd be fun to be a teacher for kids or something (let's face it, the curriculum would be easy, there'd be no middle school/high school drama, and I have to admit that some kids can be pretty cool too), but didn't really think much of it beyond that. :<
When is the best time of year to have a celebration?
Any time! Who needs a reason, either? Simply being alive is reason enough to have fun and such~
Do you know any foreign languages? Are there any you'd like to learn?
I know a little Spanish and a little Japanese. I'd definitely like to become more fluent in Spanish, but Italian and French seem nice, too. Maybe Russian?
What is the most disappointing book you ever read. Go into elaborate details!
To be honest, nothing is coming to mind here. I guess I can't think of any, because I tend to set books aside and lose interest entirely if they don't grab my attention and hold onto it.
Anyway, that's that for my week. Next!
