What's the one thing you abosolutely cannot live without?
On a related note, would you be willing to live without technology for a year?
Have you had any odd or weird foods that you ended up liking?
Anything to look forward to this summer? (Like vacations, etc...)

food My friends!
Too related a note, perhaps! Since the only way I can communicate with many of my friends (including those I had known in real life for years beforehand) is online, it'd be kind of painful. have gone without technology before, but that was before I had much access to it... So while I could go for a year without technology, I wouldn't be a happy camper.
I never doubted I would like them, but some weird things I've eaten are armadillo meat and cow brain (actually a popular taco filler in parts of Mexico).
Well, my job and Otakon have come and passed, so I just have a few weeks to relax and do nothing important. A nice day to day life is still worth looking forward to on some level, right~?

What is one of your optimum lifetime goals?
If there's a difference between these two, why might that be?

Hopefully, doing a job I like in which I can help people. Part of why I've been looking into law enforcement recently is that I would like to be part of a force that can help and protect. I'm still continuing psychology, my one true love... Maybe I could be a detective or something. That could be fun, but I don't know if I could go to school for long enough!
Financial stability and happiness.
I have already lived in poverty and sadness before. I've promised myself to never go through that again.

What do you think is your greatest achievement in life so far?
Similarly, what do you see as your greatest failure?
Why do you have no taste Would you really call something like this "loud yelling music"? :derp:

I dunno, pay attention! >.<
I don't think I have any great achievements in life. But as I mentioned before, simply surviving some things may count.
I do have some significant failures in my life... I failed my first year of college due to my own inability to get my head around that fact that I would actually need to work on something academic for once in my life. That's still something I struggle with; working hard when I could get by on raw talent for most of my life isn't something that I'm used to yet. Not to mention all the financial troubles that I'm still in years later. ^^;
It isn't... The instrument-playing isn't bad at all. But it is really long, so I got kind of bored.
Now it's my turn to ask a question! You're not obligated to answer, but I think it'd be more fun if you did!
They say money can't buy happiness, but I think financial stability is a big part of being happy. What do you think?
Aya Squawkermaru:
Well, while a person who doesn't have any money at all will definitely be very sad, I've seen happy families who live in poverty. They're able to look past their financial instability, and find joy in each others' love. Also, I think there's a point where being super rich doesn't make you much happier than just being very rich, you know?
Gah, I don't know you well enough to think of any good questions right now. I'll ask more later.

I won with the timely use of my Rank D Counterattack. That victory gained me some recognition, as my two allies were actually fairly high-level players for those days. I was invited into a guild that one of them led, which was soon merged with a guild lead by the player whom I now refer to as Mai Bossu. That was how I got to become acquainted with so many elite players and guilds, and I'm still friends with many of them to this day.

Nice. I wish I could have done something like that for my G1 run, but I think I was more concerned with finishing it at that time instead of being awesome.
Outside of battles, what is your fondest Mabinogi memory?
Favorite memory of MotK?
What sort of work were you doing for your dad?

Some degree of stability is important so that you can afford to pay rent/mortgage, utilities, and so forth. Simply having a place you can call home can go a long way towards making you happy, and having some money can help with that.

I have seen some families like that, and I don't think I need to be rich to be happy. Just not living from paycheck to paycheck, you know?
I appreciate you taking the time to answer me anyway! :>

There will be other G1 Finals... And plenty of other Finals!
There was one time that I just spent hours playing music in Tir Chonaill's town square with a few other musicians. I can't wait to rank music skills on my main character so I can do that kind of thing again.
Like I said before, I don't have specific favorite memories... I'll just share a nice one! I really liked it when Sana changed everyone's avatar to Flonne on his birthday some time ago, and everyone was talking about LOVE without complaining about it.
Janitorial work. ;-;
It's not especially difficult work, but it did require me to be on my feet for 6 hours in a hot warehouse, so it wasn't very fun. I did get close to $1000 after all was said and done though, for a little less than 4 weeks of work. (I was only covering for one of my dad's coworkers who went on vacation.)
Enough to cover the basics would be enough for you then? That isn't a bad viewpoint to have.
