 What now, Mezzo-honkeys? Edit: Also, yeah, Toriyama invented Der Slime. That alone makes him a goddamned genius in my eyes, whatever else he got into aside. That's some Mona Lisa business right there. |

Kazuma Kaneko, blugh? You sir...I just don't know what to say. :( You can like Toriyama, or any artist, but...*cries* *sobs* Kaneko... Kaneko has the most style of any artist I've ever seen. Period. Pure. Class. :) Kekeke. I don't care about his stuff either! :D In terms of artists that do game character designs, I like Kojima Ayami's stuff (especially all her pretty men~! ^o^) and Ishikawa Fumi and whoever worked on the Suikogaiden stuff. I don't think it was Ishikawa cuz the art looked kind of different? :/ Actually, the Suikoden V art was sort of neato too! Mr. Belts and Zippers (Nomura) has okei designs too~ |

Suikoden V had five artists I think. I had the list somewhere... Kazuhiro, Kaori Fujita, Riya Hozumi, Subzero Kizaki, Mikisato. I think Kaori Fujita is said the be... the sort of lead designer or something? Perhaps I'm totally wrong about all of these guys. X'D Can't even remember where I read this! I always assumed Ishikawa Fumi had a hand in the Suikogaiden artwork too? :'D Er... actually, if I had to declare who's character designs I love the MOST, it'd be Akihiko Yoshida. No one can compare with the amazingness of his works! (Though the Suiko artists come close! 108 characters, each with their own distinctive personalities visible each time! And Dragon Quest slimes come up close behind!  ) |

Back on quirks: Well well well... looks like I've upped the ante. I flipped out in a supermarket. Yes, me, flipping out. How uncanny is that? Anyway, I flipped out because I was getting boxed in and people have attempted to push their carts right through me. Grown people, unruly grown people, mannerless chumps. My family asked me what was wrong. I had one of those angry looks.
"I'll tell you what's wrong! I'm surrounded by a bunch of fucking assholes that seem to think it's okay to try and walk right through me!"
I yelled that out loud, so that everyone could hear. That'll make them think about how they shop next time. If you're not consciencious, and can't be polite enough to say "excuse me", then you're an animal; and you will be treated like an animal.
One woman did say excuse me. Infact, after I had yelled at the entire store, she had these puppy dog eyes, and responded in one of those voices, those "but daddy, I didn't do anything wrong... I'm sorry" voices. "I said excuse me..." The way she responded, I could see the fear in her eyes, as well as the sense of conviction. She had guts. I turned to her, and I responded in a gentle tone "It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong. You did good. It's okay." but my body language was still saying "I'm in your face, and I'm pointing my finger at you like I'm scolding a child". I was proud of her, proud of myself, and angry with everyone else.
Yeah, I'm back. I'm a little different. I could've been mean and let her think that she was still in the wrong. I was nice to someone that day, and for once, I think she deserved the nice treatment. That, coming from me, is like a pat on the back.
My quirk? I've got a sharp tongue and I'm too open not to tell you what I think, when I think it!

You'd be punching out people left, right, and center! Hell, you'd punch out the cashier! Dammit, I'd love to bring you with me, in fact! Them people need a-punching! Or a-yellin's good too. |

I got more! - About every once a month, I'd head over to www.apple.com/trailers/ and watch a crap ton of trailers. I just did that today. And ... Jean Claude Van Damme? Clint Eastwood? ANOTHER TRANSPORTER MOVIE!? What's going on here!?!?
- I dilute juices with water cuz the feeling I get in my mouth and throat from drinking them unwatered be weird. :/ Typical juices that get watered down are the Fruitopia stuff.
- I clean my work area every day I'm at work but at home, I hardly ever make things sparkling and dust/dirt free.
- I have a bunch of Firefox bookmarks but I rarely ever use them. Whenever I need something, I use Google. :P BUT! It's different at work! I actually make use of the favourites/bookmarks bar under the navigation buttons. D:

I clean my work area every day I'm at work but at home, I hardly ever make things sparkling and dust/dirt free. This. I'm a clutterbug at home, a seeming organization freak at work. And here's another: I draw some of my finest art on post-it notes nowadays. Usually at work or in class. XD |

Actually, that reminds me of another of my own personal quirks. Whenever I'm reading something on the computer, in email or on a message board or what-not, I highlight it over and over again with the mouse. Like, I'll start somewhere near the top of the paragraph (or sentence) and highlight down to somewhere near the end of it, then go down to the end of the paragraph (or sentence) and re-highlight to somewhere near the beginning of it... and repeat, until I finish reading it, at which point I do the same thing with the next paragraph (or sentence). (I'm being nonspecific with the paragraph/sentence thing because I seem to do this differently depending on what I'm reading - with html, for example, I usually go by paragraph, but with text I'm actually typing, I usually go by sentence.) This has caused some issues on occasion, as I do this with text documents at work too, and sometimes I end up accidentally dragging a whole chunk of text to another part of the document, messing myself up.  Not sure why I do it, really. Just a weird little quirk I have! I also crack my knuckles A LOT over the course of any given day. You mentioning "steepling and unsteepling your hands" reminded me of this, as I always crack my knuckles by sort of "reverse-steepling" them together. I always wonder if anyone notices me doing this, but thus far, no one has ever said anything. As for beer: I prefer not to drink anything that will alter my state of mind. I act drunk enough as it is on a regular basis - I don't need any help. -Tom Ha ha, I do ALL of those things. Not one of those I do not follow. I've already been voted "Most likely to be designated driver" in the yearbook last year! I don't know why I do the highlight thing though, but I think it helps me concentrate... About reading though, I need to read in a chair, and do nothing in my room except sleep and store my videogames/movies/books/comics/et cetera. I crack my knuckles, neck, ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, et al. Which is really, really, dumb considering I have arthritis (sp?). My own quirks however: *I organize stuff, and need to repose my Transformers/Gundams/Toys&Figures daily *I sleep with my old Winni the Pooh book like a teddy bear/keep it under my pillow. * I use my teddy bear as a pillow, or hold it when sleeping. I also use a pillow when it isn't around. It is for comfortability. Or an actual work  *I sleep straight down. I hate turning on my side/back or whatever. *I sleep with a pyjama bottoms, shirt, socks and at least one blanke over my body. I hate my arms touching my body when going to bed. * I have RLS. Or Restless Leg Syndrome. * I yell, talk, walk, cry, flail, sing, converse (answering other peoples questions/replying if they're already up and I'm around them). I also get nosebleeds while I'm asleep some times. * Music and reading makes me think of colours. I.E. Blind Guardian makes me think of light blue, purple or red on black along with metallic silver all in the form of lightning (except the silver of course). * I compulsively chew my fingers/nails and lip/inner cheek. * I take out spaces and capitals in title things like Star Wars and instead write Starwars * I think in different accents depending on what it is, although it is almost never my own voice. * I'm Canadian and call sodas "soda". We usually say "pop". I also call it "soft drink" or "cola", although I have a very strict system for what I call each one. * I don't buy food/take out. I hate spending money on food, as it always feels like a waste. * When I see maggots or other gross things I feel like they are on me or inside my mouth. Sour milk also does this. * Like above, seeing certain things makes me feel like I would have it, like psoriasis, or rashes. * I ramble, and take a long time to explain my ideas. I've never been banned from a forum, but have been banned from three IRCs, and people offline often dislike me because I say the wrong things, and think without speaking. And the rambling. * When I'm in a bad position I always dig a deeper hole for myself. I mean in arguments. I also never pick a side. I just list facts and things to change stuff up. * I have a lot of quirks. - Well, my sista wants'ta go on the computer, so I guess this is it... for now! |
