This seems like fun. Swiped from bottle_of_shine.

Ask me a question about anything -- fandom, real life, music, vegetables, the weather, etc. -- and I will answer you and then ask YOU a question and then the whole process could be repeated if anyone wants to keep it up. If this works, by the end we could know each other so well we're sick of each other and have to quit one another for a while.

I, too, am not a fan of tomatoes but like ketchup. I've gotten more willing to eat them as I've gotten older, though, cooked anyway. And I've always loved tomato sauce. Still won't eat them raw, though.

I was born in the afternoon. 2:30 PM, I think.

Why FFX-2? As in, why is that the fandom you have chosen to write about primarily?

I guess it's because I got into fanfiction not long before I played FFX-2 for the very first time. That and the fact that FFX/X-2 are my favorite playstation games of all time. Spira also has so many more characters in it than the FF8 world, so I've found it easier to write about (I never quite bonded with the main characters in FF8 the way I did with the ones in X/X-2, either). I've never really gotten the inspiration for a Harry Potter fic, either.

PS: I was born at 8:18 in the morning :)

What was your first job, and how old were you?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with you regarding all of Spira's characters. It's such a rich world, too, with its long history and complex cultures. There's so very much to write about. I think it might keep me busy for a long time!

Not counting regular babysitting gigs (among other things, I used to do the childcare for my parents' church choir practice in exchange for voice lessons from the director), my first job was at a movie theater. I started behind the snack bar but moved fairly quickly to working in the ticket booth most of the time. I was 17 (started the summer before my senior year of HS), and I worked there through the end of the next summer, when I went to college. Not a great job, not a terrible one. The free movie passes were a great perk.

Have you ever had a pet?

We had a dog from about 3 years before my older brother was born until I was about 5 years old, and we've got a dog now, but I've never personally had a pet. My older brother does though: they took in a stray kitten into my dad's house in the winter of 2004 and it has since then become specifically his cat, so when he moves out he'll take the cat with him.

did you ever get a detention in school? I've only ever gotten one, for talking too much in 7th grade one day...

I might have gotten a couple of late homework dententions in junior high. Usually, though, the only thing that ever landed me there was cutting class. Not that I did that often, maybe two or three times a year on average. More my senior year; senioritis hit me pretty hard, especially once I knew I'd gotten in to college.

Who's your favorite author?

[yuna-flowering.livejournal.com]

JK Rowling, hands-down. I love Matthew Reilly, and I love Diana Gabaldon, but Harry Potter has been my favorite for years :)

Where were you/what were you doing on September 11th, and how did you first hear about it?
