07-Ghost - The World (Part. 2)

Episodes 11-20 of the 07-Ghost radio show. I’m really enjoying listening to this. It makes me want to investigate which other anime have radio shows. The only other one I know of is Zetsubou Sensei. Pretty funny that the lesser known shows would be popular enough to be on the radio. Links below for anyone who wants to listen (raw Japanese only).

Episode 11

This episode kind of feels like the beginning of a new season because they got a new opening and ending theme. They’re nice to listen to but not something I would want to download or anything. They have a cheesy mid-2000s vibe to them (gee, I wonder why?) This episode was cute because they had Hakuren’s VA as a guest. It’s fun to imagine Teito, Hakuren, and Mikage all hanging out together since that never happened in the series.

This time around they discussed “what would you do if X happened to your best friend” scenarios and read a lot of fan mail. As usual Mikage’s VA lost every game lol. I think Jun (Hakuren’s VA) said at one point that he thinks of Mitsuki (Teito’s VA) as an “ikemen” looool. I just googled her name and she does look really androgynous.

Episode 12

More of the same, more teasing of Namikawa (one of the fanmails was just asking if he got bad grades in school lol). This time around the beginning conversation was about “who would make a good brother, sister, mom, etc. in the 07 Ghost universe?” It kinda bugs me how surface-level and basic their answers are. They never really mention side characters or manga-only characters so they really only have a tiny amount of people to shuffle through again and again. On the other hand, Namikawa never read the manga so...

They played two games: “which thing is smaller?” and what’s in “Pandora’s box?” Saiga flat out said she didn’t want to do the second game lol. She’s getting bored with the formula. I do think the show is stronger when they’re just chit-chatting or bouncing ideas off listener mail, but the games are easier to understand language-wise so it’s good to have a mix of the two.

Episode 13

This episode had Kuroyuri’s VA on as a guest which was a nice change of pace. They discussed grades again (you can tell a lot of the listeners are very young based on the listener mail) and played shiritori using dialogue from 07 Ghost. I feel like they’re getting pretty creative with the games they come up with.

This episode and the previous one had a lot of ads at the end for 07 Ghost content (DVDs, drama CDs, manga, etc.) They mention the “upcoming live event” which I’m guessing is the same one that was released on DVD. Are live anime events still a common thing? I know the Tales of series has an annual festival so I guess they must be. -sigh- why can’t I live in Japan :(

Episode 14

This episode was fun to listen to, Namikawa and Saiga crack each other up a lot and have great chemistry. I feel like I’m enjoying this radio show more than I enjoyed the entire series? Loool

Anyway, in this episode they spent a long time talking about and giving each other nicknames (they settled on “Wada” for Namikawa and “Ouji” for Saiga). Namikawa got roasted by the listeners a bunch, as usual, and they had a “dad joke” competition. Two listeners wrote in about their worries, one was worried about his sore neck and the other’s husband was mad at her for spending too much on anime (lol). I guess this episode came out around the mid-point of the anime’s broadcast because they referenced the Frau dolls and the weird noises they make, which was funny.

I think I need to listen to more Japanese podcasts cuz this is fun and great practice. If anyone has any reccs, please let me know!

Episode 15

Sho Hayami (Ayanami’s VA) returns!! His voice is sooo dreeeammy. One of the listener mail’s mentioned his fan club and I totally get it lol. I would join if I could. Anyway, this episode was cute. They talked about their first crushes (Hayami’s was a boy!) and played a game where they had to read some exposition from 07 Ghost and pick out what was wrong about it. Honestly, I struggled to understand that part because fantasy world vocabulary is tricky. Namikawa lost as he always does and his punishment was that he had to talk like a baby for the rest of the episode. He did a really good job lol.

They did a “last supper” segment again where they ate pudding (flan) with soy sauce, which apparently is supposed to taste like sea urchin...ew.

Episode 16

This episode was decent, a little meandering lol. They had Hyuuga’s VA on as a guest and he seemed surprisingly shy compared to the character he plays. He was very quiet and didn’t contribute much to the conversation. I was a little nervous when he lost one of the games they played and had to speak “rabbit language” (basically adding “pyon” or “usa” to the end of every sentence) for the rest of the episode, but that actually was exactly what was needed to spice up his debut lol. His awkwardness plus the vocal tic was pretty hilarious.

This episode took place after the live event because they had some fan mail about it. One girl went with her mom which is so cute (I can imagine dragging my parents to something like that lol). They discussed what it would like to be a twin and played a game where they had to read a bunch of tricky words (mostly katakana) really fast. It sounded really hard! I kinda wish I had the script so I could try for myself. I really like reading katakana

Episode 17

This episode felt really short, the nico nico video is only 38 minutes long! Castor’s VA guest starred this time and was way more energetic than Hyuuga’s VA in the last episode. He was hamming it up a lot. They discussed sleeping positions and played a game where they got a list of 3 07 Ghost characters and had to figure out what they all had in common. I had fun playing along (although I didn’t do very well lol). Namikawa lost and had to use “zamasu” language? I’m not really sure what that is.

At the end of the episode they read some listener mail and gave love confession advice lol. Almost made it a third of a way through the show!

Episode 18

A nice, simple no-guest episode. This time around they discussed what pets would suit them and played family feud basically (and failed miserably). Saiga and Namikawa both got “punished” for failing the game and had to speak like the opposite gender. They both really struggled to do so lol. Masculine/feminine speech is so weird to me. I’m sure English has some, subtle version of this, but if someone told me to “talk like a guy” I wouldn’t know what to do. (Lower my voice? Say “bro” a lot?) It’s always interesting when other languages have a quirk that there’s no real English equivalent for.

This episode felt kind of lazy. They spent most of it just chit-chatting and didn’t seem like they wanted to do the regular corner. They ended up running out of time for the final fan letter reading. I’m not complaining really, it was just noticeably less professional than some other episodes.

Episode 19

Not gonna lie, the Japanese was a little tricky for me in this one. Haruse’s VA made his show debut and I didn’t recognize his voice at all lol. Haruse barely talks in the show so I was like “???” They asked him what kind of character Haruse is and he was like “...nice?” Lol poor Haruse. Not much to say about him anime-wise.

This definitely felt like a “we’re running out of ideas” episode. The game they played was really weird. Basically it was “what do you do when X natural disaster occurs?” with 07 ghost characters illustrating what to do vs. what not to do. Haruse’s VA lost and his punishment was to speak in broken Japanese (like annoying foreigner characters do in anime). It was really obnoxious lol. The episode ended with a “Last supper” segment but I had trouble following what they were eating :/ Almost to episode 20!

Episode 20

Another Hyuuga episode, although I felt like he didn’t talk as much this time. These episodes are really starting to blend together. This one was recorded in October so they discussed autumn and things they like/dislike about it. Practically every fan letter was about Namikawa (either bullying or praising him). I finally understand the “Wada” joke (namikaWA DAisuke), it took me a few episodes.

Unfortunately I didn’t really understand much of this episode, especially the game they played. It sounded like they had to pick a symbol to represent a character from 07 Ghost, but I’m not sure if that’s the gist of it. Namikawa lost as usual and his punishment was to speak like an old man. I thought he did a great job! Sometimes I forget I’m listening to voice actors instead of regular radio hosts. It makes sense that all of their punishments would be impressions related.

Stories from my history: 9/20/17: The Sand Pits

So, laying out my entire life, (or at least my most interesting stories) in blog form might take a while. I have many of them. I will avoid doing them chronologically at times. This particular one is the story of how I got myself into deep shit (actually sand) and through persistence, sustained belief in my abilities and some help from my friends, I was able to have a fantastic night that affirmed my self confidence AND extricate myself from a tricky, potentially costly situation.

So, it was about a week before my birthday last year and I had recently met my then-lover, Crunchy. We had hung out a time or two before that and just chatted in my car at the beach (my 1978 Buick Century Station Wagon, Frank)... but this time we had our first real adventure. I’m pretty sure the first part of the adventure consisted of walking around near Longwood Estate and then visiting Gotham Smokes, rolling a blunt and getting extremely stoned in Frank’s front bench seat. At this point, it was starting to get dark and I proposed we go take the Buick into an off the road kind of dirt path that I had discovered nearby when I was in High School. Obviously Captain Crunchy was as adventurous as I, so we took the Buick down that back road and parked it on the edge of the path, about 100 feet down the path alongside the road. We then rolled UP the windows, because the mosqueets were kind of annoying and smoked ANOTHER blunt.

Fast forward a little bit, we got out of the car and walked sky-clad amongst the trails of the Pine Barrens and the fresh feeling of the Early Autumn winds against my stony skin was such an incredible experience and I was tremendously grateful to share the moment with someone else, other than the mosquitoes. Staring into the sky at the clearest stars in the area, we had such a great time sharing space and affection that night. (The Earth was, that night to turn its cycle further into the harvest season and bring us into Mabon.)

So, around 1am, we walked back to the car and Crunchmaster suggested that we go home. Now, for whatever the fuck reason, I thought it was a good idea to put the car into DRIVE instead of reverse and go explore the trails IN A REAR WHEEL DRIVE BUICK. So, obviously as we rounded the first sandy-pit turn, the rear tires dug themselves into the sand and BAM, I was stuck with the first woman who had liked me in any reasonable capacity in a vehicle that I had stupidly dug into the sand pits at 1am.

Now, trying not to panic, we start throwing around ideas on how to deal with it. She had AAA and I had no such thing, so we call that and sit there for about an hour before the guy comes down the road backroad. I see him, hail him and he pulls over and asks me where the car is. I push open the gate and he gives me a look like I’m fucking crazy (which is true, but doesn’t excuse him not doing his job.) I assure him that it’s actually quite a wide path and that his tow could easily fit in it and that the ground is quite well packed until you reach about 500 yards in (or something like that...) He backs his truck through the gate and goes about 50 feet in before he stops the truck, puts it in drive and yells out his window that he’s sorry and that he can’t help me and that he will call his friend, but he’s not sure they can help and that I should just “call the cops”... then without calling his friend, he drives his vehicle continuously out the gate and down the road, far the fuck away from where I was standing, slack-jawed. I didn’t know if he called the cops or his friend or why the hell he just SCATTED. I knew the woods were somewhat of an intense experience (I had seen spirits there before, but nothing too terribly crazy), but I didn’t think a grown man would run away from helping out another in need of his services. Either way, I was stuck.

Now, I walk back to our little “camp in the sand” with the bad news. Crunchy had been asleep in the car, as she had to be up at 5:00 in the morning. I didn’t wake her. It was now 2:30am. Trying to keep panic at bay, I did my best not to worry about the potential fines for both “trespassing” and towing or what my beautiful friend thought of me after this whole ordeal on what was, essentially, our first date. Instead, I focused on solutions. I tried to run the car on some cardboard, on some wood slats I had found, using a tire strapping technique I had learned on youtube, considering if there were “off road” towing companies, like my other friend, QBall had used when he drove his mini-van into the woods and destroyed his entire transmission and front axle... I didn’t think he would answer me at 2am and I couldn’t find an evidence of such a thing existing... so I figured he had probably just “known someone”... then I realized... wait... I know someone.

I called upon my LONGEST STANDING BUT VERY HERMIT-Y FRIENDSHIP, with my friend, Deutsch. Deutsch had a four wheel drive, built as hell jeep with EVERY POSSIBLE survival tool I could imagine. I couldn’t think of a person who was more prepared if shit hit the fan. Conveniently, Deutsch also doesn’t have a normal sleep schedule and is more or less completely nocturnal... so this time, it worked out in my favor. She says she will be there in 45 minutes.

She shows up, Crunchy is still asleep and I am more stoned than before. She puts on a tow strap, tells me to put my car into reverse and drive... she cranks me out of that sand like my car was a ladle out of a cup of soup (YAY WEIRD ANALOGIES)... boom. I am at the top of the hill, tires freed with a wonderful, still running car and a sleepy passenger. I thank Deutsch, give her some cash for her time and am RIGHT THE FUCK OUT OF THERE. I drive Crunchy home or to her car or whatever she wants.. and somehow, she seems completely unphased. Now, I was thinking this was some kind of “calm before the storm” and that somehow I was about to get my ass chewed out the next time we spoke... Obviously this a thing I’d want to talk about right there, rather than let it sit. I ask her how she felt about the whole ordeal.

SHE SAYS TO ME THAT SHE TRUSTED ME MORE AND HAD GREATER RESPECT FOR ME MORE BECAUSE I MANAGED TO GET MYSELF OUT OF THAT SITUATION AND HANDLE IT ON MY OWN. She then kissed me and fell into my arms for a moment before we parted ways.

That night, I drove home in a total fog. I didn’t understand how she appreciated me after the shit that I got us into. I deprived her of many hours of sleep when she works such hard hours. I felt like such a fuck-up, but somehow the glimmer of hope in the situation was her, loving me anyways. The next few months we spent together we transformative for me and her. I have a tremendous amount of respect and love for her soul and our friendship still stands strong, though we are no longer lovers.

mathias self para 001

his outfit

word count: 2,290

Mathias' stomach turned as he sat in the passenger seat next to Orion. He must have noticed Mathias' nervousness because he turned his head and looked at him with a comforting smile. The nerves must have been rolling off of him in waves.

"You okay?" he asked, raising his brows a bit.

"Yeah... No... I will be?" Mathias huffed, embarrassed about how he was so jittery about meeting Orion's friends. This would also be the first time he'd be going into a situation where he and Orion would be recognized as a couple. They'd been in public together, obviously, otherwise they wouldn't be where they are currently, but it was different walking around with strangers around them in the big city that Orion lives in. This time they'd be making an announcement of some sort, telling people they were together. He knew that it was a completely different kind of crowd than what Mathias knew, but the knowledge didn't stifle the fears that were burned into his mind.

Making a good impression on them brought up a whole different set of fears, however. He was afraid that he'd embarrass Orion, or he wouldn't be good enough for them. They're actual stars, for Pete's sake. Not forgetting the fact that Mathias had had approximately 1% the amount of human interaction outside of The Church compared to anyone who'd be there. He wore what he thought was the most socially appropriate based off of what he'd seen when he was out with Orion. He only had a few items in his closet that would work so it didn't take long to find them, even though he spent hours debating on whether it was good enough.

He currently wore a blue sweater that was Mormon approved, khaki's and boots that were also Mormon approved; however, he didn't leave the house in them. As far as his parents knew, he was missioning in a neighboring city with his friend Lana who had agreed to help Mathias out with this if he helped her out in return with her own little trips into the city, an aspiring musician. He ended up having to change after Lana had dropped him off at he and Orion's meeting point. The line right where Mathias' small town met Orion's big city of glamour, Mathias changed out of his slacks and dress shoes and into the rest of his clothing items in the backseat on their way into the city before he climbed up front.

"We're almost there. You'll be fine, and you'll blow them away, just like you did, me. Got it?"

Mathias exhaled loudly, nodding. As they pulled up to the building, his heart thudded in his chest too annoyingly to be ignored. It was... huge... Possibly the biggest building he'd ever seen, with smaller surrounding buildings all around it. "This is it? All of this?"

"All of it." Orion nodded and grinned, admiring his place of work.

"Don't you get lost?" Mathias questioned, a small smile starting to appear on his face.

"Nah," he started, then began explaining his routes and how he learned to get around -- then made a joke about getting around. The chat was helping soothe Mathias' brain as Orion parked the car and came around to open Mathias' before he could open his own, getting stuck staring out at the scene in front of him.

"I can get my own door."

"I know you can." Orion smirked at Mathias and locked the car after he got out. "Come on," he insisted, reaching a hand out for Mathias. He grabbed it quickly, needing the comfort of his hand in his own. As they began to reach the entrance, Mathias gripped his hand tighter. Orion turned to him before they entered and wrapped his free hand around the back of Mathias' neck. "You're amazing, okay? You're gonna be just fine, and they're all gonna be incredibly jealous of me, alright?" He chuckled as Mathias nodded at his words, though his eyes were still flooded with fear. Orion pressed slow and reassuring kiss to his lips, then pulled away to admire Mathias' flustered face afterward. Orion always made Mathias melt, and his reactions to Orion's actions were always something to witness. "Okay, ready?"

"As I'll ever be." He really hated himself for making this seem like it's such a big deal, but for him, it really was. It must be annoying for Orion to have everything he and Mathias did be a big deal for Mathias. Sometimes he wondered why he was with Mathias at all. However, he had to push his self deprecating thoughts away as he heard a shriek coming their way. They'd entered what looked like a lounge, and there was a brunette girl charging toward the two of them.

"Oh my God!" she shouted, "He is way cuter in person than in the pictures you showed me!" She jumped at Orion, wrapping her arms around him.

"Yes, hello, AJ," Orion laughed, pulling back from the hug to look at a very surprised Mathias. "This is my best friend AJ, Mathias."

"Hi," he said shyly, hoping his cheeks weren't changing any different shade. "I've heard things about you." He kicked himself. Hard. That sounded so awkward. That was really awkward.

"Things?" Autumn said with a certain sass in her voice, looking pointedly at Orion. She was only joking, but Mathias was oblivious.

"I meant good things, sorry." Here comes the flushing of his cheek color. He was pale, already screwing it up.

"I'm kidding, you cutie!" She leaned up to hug him and kissed his cheek, squeezing him.

"Oh," he choked out, shocked at her... entirely. The hug, the kiss, her demeanor.

He smiled a bit awkwardly as she let go of him. "C'mon, you gotta meet everyone else. We love our Orion -- well, your Orion now," she winked at him, "and we're dying to meet his new boy candy."

Mathias looked at Orion almost incredulously, "Boy..."

"Never mind," he interjected, a laugh hanging at the edge of his lips.

Apparently the lounge was more than just that one room, but a few different rooms combined. They walked into one that had food everywhere. Everywhere. He hadn't ever seen so much food in his life, not even at holidays and wakes.

"Wow."

"You can have anything you want." He squeezed his hand as he spoke and smiled over at Mathias.

"I think I'm still a little too..." His voice was quiet, not wanting anyone to hear how embarrassingly anxious he was.

"Okay," Orion nodded reassuringly. Pulling Mathias with him in the direction of more people sitting in a large -- very large -- purple booth around a table full of drinks and plates. "These are some cast members and behind the scenes folks for the show I work on, along with some from other shows," he said quietly to Mathias before they reached the table.

"Hey, guys," he directed at them all. In return, there was a loud and drawn out group hello. Suddenly there were voices from all over, including at tables next to this one and from people standing around the room.

"Is this your new boyfriend?" "Of course it is, stupid, they're holding hands!" "How long have you been together now?" "Where did you meet this kid?" "Ooh, Orion, best keep a leash on this one!" "Oh my God, you lucky fucker."

Everything was catching him off guard, some things shocking him, some making him uncomfortable, but at the same time it was exciting and he liked it. He suddenly felt Orion's arm making its way around Mathias' waist and he was flooded with a new feeling of comfort he hadn't had before. It was really nice. Orion rolled his eyes at some comments, dodging others, and answering just a few of them. After some of them were satisfied, they got up, and Mathias and Orion slid into the inside. He smiled at the girl he sat next to, leaning as close to Orion as he could without being obvious about it.

People slid in and out of the booth for the next 20 minutes, and the two of them remained stationary in the very middle of it. Mathias stayed quiet much of the time, Orion discussing various things, mostly things regarding the two of them. Mid-sentence, Mathias' stomach interrupted Orion as it growled. Loudly. He froze, disbelieving that that happened.

"Hungry?" Orion laughed, pressing his finger against his stomach playfully. Mathias smiled small, shrugging. "I'll go get us something, be right back." He gave him a reassuring squeeze on his knee and gave him a chaste kiss before having two people on his side move so he could get out.

Mathias' face turned very red, everyone staring at him after 'aw'ing in unison. Someone commented on his red face and he turned even redder somehow. He cleared his throat and looked down, not wanting to meet their gazes. He thought about the first time he and Orion kissed. It wasn't just their first kiss, it was Mathias' first kiss ever. Besides when he'd kissed a girl named Candace when he was in 6th grade. It was just a peck, but he felt so guilty about it that he told his parents and had to confess his sins. Good God, the repentance they'd require if they knew of the sins he'd committed since he met Orion. Wearing the leather belt he had on, for starters. He didn't even want to think about their reaction to him kissing period, yet alone a boy, and even better, a non-white.

Orion took Mathias to a carnival, knowing he'd never been on a ride before and he'd previously shared how he'd always wanted to try going on a ferris wheel. He'd made that dream, which probably seemed small to many but significant to him, come true. They were only friends, but Mathias was lying to himself if he said he didn't feel more. They went up, and Mathias was downright terrified. He'd never been more scared in his life, every time it slowed down to add a new passenger, his heart skipped a beat. As they reached the top of the wheel, Mathias looked down to the ground, the people looking small, one of the most beautiful scenes he'd ever seen. With a big smile on his face, he looked to Orion, who'd surprised him by immediately placing his hands against Mathias' cheeks and pressing his lips against Mathias' before he could give it a second thought. His heart stopped but felt like it was beating out of his chest at the same time. It was magical, for all of the two seconds it lasted before Mathias pulled away, his face looking like he'd just been given the most puzzling riddle of his life. He took back his thoughts about fear. He'd never been more scared in his life than he was now.

Scared because, well, he was however high in the air for starters. Two, he was here with a beautiful boy that made him question everything he thought he knew about... everything. Three, he liked it. He liked the feeling of his lips against his, however short the kiss was. He liked being next to Orion, and spending time with him. That scared him. He'd never felt anything like this, and what was worse was that Orion was the exact opposite of every single thing that his family and his religion told him he was supposed to be with. Staring into Orion's eyes though, he didn't care. With wild eyes, Mathias looked into Orion's, soft and caring, waiting for Mathias to process what had just happened. Mathias relaxed, his heart slowing into an excited sort of beating rather than terrified. Seeing this, Orion smiled and pulled Mathias' face back toward his at the same time the ferris wheel finally began to move into a constant motion. Butterflies began to flit around Mathias' entire torso, and he felt lighter than air as Orion slowly moved his lips against his.

They stayed on the ferris wheel for another few rides after that, in which Orion also held his hand for the first time. That whole day, he couldn't pinpoint a "most anything". Orion was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen, kissing him and holding his hand and being with him was the most beautiful feeling he'd ever felt. He was happier than he'd ever been, more scared, more everything than he'd ever anything. It was like the first day of his life. His new life, and he never wanted to go back. Being with Orion was... surreal. Except, it was real. It was the realest, and purest thing in his life. At this point, going back home was the surreal thing.

Someone broke his thoughts and he looked to her, sitting on his right. He hadn't even noticed that a few new people had replaced the previous ones while he was lost in thought. "Will you be around here often, now?" she asked.

"Uh, I dunno," he said with a shrug.

"Everyone's gonna want you as their new GBF, unless I claim you first. Do you wanna?"

"What?" he asked, furrowing his brows, entirely confused. He had no clue what a 'GBF' was, but he was 99.999% sure he didn't want to be it.

"Ignore Katy," Orion said as he approached the table, Autumn at his side. "She's stupid." This girl whom he assumed was Katy rolled her eyes and got up.

Orion grinned at Mathias and held his hand out. "I changed my mind. You met the important people, and everyone else got to see you and be jealous, so I'm ready to leave. Let's eat out." Mathias looked up at him with a happy smile, nodding.

He'd go anywhere Orion went.

1. selfie-I’ll post one later! :)

2. what would you name your future kids?--For girls my favorites are Rosie, Lucy, Alice, Chloe, Cadence, Penelope, Olivia, Hazel, Opal, and Willow. For boys my favorites are Edward, Phillip, Oliver, Forrest, August, Emmerson, and Noah. :)

3. do you miss anyone? Yes. My great grandparents (they’re still alive, but just live far away), some friends I haven’t seen in a while, and my old elementary/middle school teacher.

4. what are you looking forward to? I’m looking forward to a mini weekend vacation I’m going on with my family next week. :)

5. is there anyone who can always make you smile? My mom, for sure. :)

6. is it hard for you to get over someone? OMG, YES. I’ve never dated anybody, but I had a “break-up” with one of my best friends last year, and I still think about her pretty much every day.

7. what was your life like last year? I was in 8th grade. I was best friends with a girl named Ava. I was very passionate about violin (I still am, but am focused on some other things now).

8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed? Yes! Lots of times.

9. who did you last see in person? My mom. She just told me she was going to the store like three seconds ago. :)

10. are you good at hiding your feelings? I like to think I am, but I’m really not. My mom says you can always tell by my face what I’m feeling. :)

11. are you listening to music right now? Nope. :)

12. what is something you want right now? I want to be able to write something good right now, but I just am having trouble getting started.

13. how do you feel right now? Pretty neutral. Not especially happy or depressed. Just kinda relaxed (well, as relaxed as I can get). :)

14. when was the last time someone of the opposite sex hugged you? Does my dad count? If so, I think sometime yesterday. If my dad doesn’t count, I literally have no idea.

15. personality description--I’m intelligent, ambitious, creative, passionate, thoughtful, open-minded, anxious, obsessive, and introverted. I try really hard to do well in school and usually get good grades. I play violin and love music. I love to read and write, but lately have been having trouble finding time to do them. I love my family and spending time with them is very important to me. I love hanging out with friends, but I can only socialize for so long before I need to go home. I’m definitely a bit of a homebody (my mom has to force me to leave the house and do something sometimes). I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and low-grade depression. I am, at the moment, trying to figure out whether I’m lesbian or bisexual (whatever the case, I know I’m attracted to girls, but am having a hard time figuring out if I’m at all interested in boys). I get SUPER obsessed with characters from books and movies and get SO passionate about my OTP’s, it can literally be scary. I accept people for who they are, and if you ever want to ask me anything or just talk, I’m open to it. :)

16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t? YES. Lots of times.

17. opinion on insecurities. I think insecurities are just a part of life. Everybody has them, just in different aspects of their lives. There are people who are SUPER smart, but think they’re ugly, and then there’s people who seem SO confident and outgoing and love their bodies, but secretly think they’re stupid. There are many variations of insecurities, and literally everybody has to deal with them, no matter how big or small they are.

18. do you miss how things were a year ago? A little bit, but not really. I miss my old teacher and orchestra conductor, but overall, I think my life is better this year. I have more friends, I like school better, and I’m more in tune with who I am and what I need.

19. have you ever been to New York? NO. :(

20. what is your favourite song at the moment? Answering what my favorite song is has always been hard for me, so I usually just say who my favorite artist or band is. At the moment, it’s probably Green Day, Linkin Park, or Evanescence.

21. age and birthday? I’m 15 years old, and my birthday is October 30, 2001.

22. description of crush---Oh...here’s a fun one! :D It’s a girl. She goes to my high school. She has long brown hair, green eyes, and nicely tanned skin. :)

23. fear(s)-- Failure (in school, in my relationships with my family and friends, and just in life in general), death (especially of somebody I love), elevators (I know...LOL), separation from my family (going to sleepaway camp is a nightmare for me...), and lots of other silly things I can’t even think of right now.

24. height--5′7″

25. role model--MY MOM, my big sister, Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, the list goes on and on...:)

26. idol(s)--I know there is a difference between “role model” and “idol”, but I’m having a hard time differentiating them in the context of my life.

27. things i hate--Bullying, prejudice, rude people (people who interrupt when you speak, especially), inequality, books and movies that take FOREVER to come out, books, movies, and shows that END (okay, I know they all do eventually but it HURTS, it really does).

28. i’ll love you if…You respect me and others, you treat me and others with kindness, you have compassion for others and the world around you, you are polite, and you help others in need (and me when I need help).

29. favourite film(s)--Pitch Perfect 1&2 (and 3 SOON...), Stepbrothers, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Fried Green Tomatoes, Good Will Hunting, Titanic, Matilda, Frozen, Beauty & The Beast, Mulan, Brave, Lilo & Stitch, The Lion King, Up, Ramona & Beezus, Elf, okay...I should probably stop. :)

32. are your friends mainly girls or guys? Mainly girls, but I have had best friends who are boys. :)

33. something you want to learn--I want to learn how to play the piano and the guitar, and how to sing better (which I doubt will happen...). I also want to learn how to act better. :)

34. most embarrassing moment--One time in third grade I went to the bathroom and, not knowing that I had toilet paper trailing out of my pants behind me, I went back to class. Literally nobody told me until I noticed a few minutes later. Also, one time this year (in ninth grade), I farted in class during a test and some people looked at me weird. I’m not sure which is more embarrassing, so I just put both. :)

35. favourite subject--Since starting high school, I’ve learned to love SO many subjects better than I did before. My favorite subject used to be English, but my English teacher (more like professor, my mom says, since he is SO FREAKING INTENSE), kind of ruined it for me. Now I’d say my favorite subjects are math, German, history, and music.:)

36. 3 dreams you want to fulfill? 1. I want to be a professional violinist. 2. I want to publish a book. 3. I want to explore as much of the world as I can and help as many people around the world as I can.

37. favourite actor/actress--Some of my favorite actors are Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell, Zac Efron, and Johnny Depp (don’t hate me, I know he abused his wife and that is HORRIBLE, but he is just so freaking talented. He’s one of my favorite actors, but definitely not one of my favorite people. Let’s just put it that way). :) Some of my favorite actresses are Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Aubrey Plaza, and Kate Winslet.

38. favourite comedian(s)--Ellen DeGeneres, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey (literally one of the best duos ever), Will Ferrell, and Steve Carrel. :)

39. favourite sport(s)--Basketball, swimming, gymnastics, and dance. I’m terrible at sports, but these are the ones I’ve tried and at least slightly enjoyed. :)

40. favourite memory--I don’t know if I can name just one favorite memory. Some of my favorite memories are road trips with my family, visiting my great grandparents at their farm in Wisconsin, visiting my best friend who lives REALLY far away in Illinois (I live in California, just to give you guys perceptive about how FAR it really is), celebrating Christmas Eve and Day with my family, camping with my family and friends, reading with my little sister, early-morning coffee runs with my big sister, fun car trips with my mom, late-night chats with my grand,a, and really just any moment spent with my family and/or friends. :)

41. relationship status--Single, but really wanting to get out there (but realistically way too shy).

42. favourite book(s)--Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus Series, Harry Potter Series, Ender’s Game, Practical Magic, A Year of Wonders, A Year Without Autumn, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, The Secret Life of Bees, To Kill A Mockingbird, and the list goes on. :)

43. favourite song ever--”Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds

44. age you get mistaken for--I think I look about my age, but I am pretty tall, so maybe I’d get mistaken for 16 or 17 at the oldest.

45. how you found out about your idol--I’ll just say my biggest idol is Anna Kendrick, and I found out about her through Pitch Perfect. :)

49. where i want to be right now--Wisconsin, Illinois, San Diego, or maybe just my big sister’s house would be good.

50. favourite picture of your idol--Im a little bit confused about this one. Should I post a picture of Anna Kendrick or describe one? I’m just going to skip it...

51. starsign--My basic sun sign is Scorpio. For those of you who are more into astrology and know the terminology, I’m a Scorpio Sun, Aries Moon, Gemini Ascendant, and Libra Venus. :)

52. something i’m talented at--I’m good at playing the violin. :)

53. 5 things that make me happy--Music, family, good books, movies, and shows (though that’s technically three, I’m counting it as one), nature, and good food. :)

54. something thats worrying me at the moment--My grades, my anxiety and depression, my future (which I’m probably too young to be worrying about), my crush (who I am literally obsessed with), and just my general identity.

55. tumblr friends--I don’t really have any Tumblr friends yet. :)

56. favourite food(s)--Pizza, chicken, mashed potatoes, watermelon, broccoli, curry, yogurt, oranges, the list goes on and on. :)

57. favourite animal(s)--Lions, tigers, dolphins, panda bears, sloths, and dogs. :)

58. description of my best friend--I have a few best friends. One of my best friends is named Margaret. She is 14 years old and in 8th grade. We met and have been really close since kindergarten. She likes reading, acting, and playing Sims (which we love to play together). She loves cats. Her star sign is a Taurus. :) Another one of my best friends is named Roan. She is 14 years old and in 9th grade. We met at a violin recital a couple years ago, but didn’t get close until we started at the same high school last fall. We have lots of the same classes together. She likes reading, writing, playing violin, and playing video games. Her star sign is a Leo. Another one of my best friends is named Ione. She is 15 years and in 10th grade. Our moms (my mom Molly and her mom Heather) are best friends and have been really close since they were kids, but they slowly lost contact when my mom moved as a teenager. When I was 8 years old, they reconnected through Facebook. On our trip to Wisconsin, we stopped by their house, and I got to meet Ione. We instantly clicked and have been best friends ever since. We spend a few days to a week (depending on our schedules) at their house every summer, and stay in contact through texts and letters during the school year. She loves reading, writing, playing violin and piano, basketball, and volleyball. Her star sign is a Libra. :)

59. why i joined tumblr--I joined Tumblr because I think it’s a cool place to express yourself, see posts related to your interests, and connect with people who have similar interests. I also think the concept and setup of Tumblr is a lot more creative and original than any other social media site. Also, since none of my family members or (sometimes very conservative) extended family members are on Tumblr, I can be free to share my very liberal views without getting pounded. I can also be free to share my lesbian/bisexual identity, as well as my passionate support of the LGTBQ community, without getting disowned by any homophobic extended family members. :)

60. ask me anything you want--I’m not sure what it means by this, but yes, I’m open to people asking me anything they want on here. Obviously nothing TOO personal, but I’m pretty open about most things, so don’t worry. :)
