Have you ever considered a future in marine studies, or something similar? What are the books that you think influenced you the most? |

What video editor do you use for your YTP stuff? --- End quote --- Used to have Vegas, but then the computer I was using got fritzed. I'm now on a crappy laptop that can't so much as run Fraps correctly, so there's no real hope for me anymore. :< --- Quote ---What's your obsession with swimsuits? --- End quote --- I've always found swimsuits and water in general fascinating, basically. I'm not sure how it started, but I've liked the idea since I was a kid. Really, there's no deep meaning to it - just a quirk I've always had. --- Quote ---As someone with AS myself, do you think having it has had a significant effect on your life? --- End quote --- Well, I can definitely say it screwed up the first 10 or so years of my education at the very least. Not 'getting' all these social ticks made me sort of an outcast at primary school, and by the time I got the hang of it in secondary school it was too late to really join one of the little circles. I'm not exactly good with independent living either. Let's put it this way - I've only started seriously trying to cook my own dinner this week, and I'm 19. -_- Uni, though, has been a great improvement for me. It's a fresh start, and I've been getting involved in clubs, and there's a group of guys who I'm really friendly with right now. Generally it feels like I'm starting to catch up for real now, and I'm enjoying it. --- Quote from: Sectimonious on April 20, 2011, 11:20:20 PM ---Have you ever considered a future in marine studies, or something similar? --- End quote --- Honestly, as much as marine study and such interests me, I don't think I'd be able to hold down a job there. For one I'm bad with biology, and I'm also terrible with animals. As in I am actually slightly frightened by my own cat. :< Also, I can't actually swim. -_- --- Quote ---What are the books that you think influenced you the most? --- End quote --- Not sure if it counts, but in English class in secondary I read Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, and even after the usual bash-your-head-in-with-all-this-symbolism that English class consists of it's still probably my favourite play of all time. It'sthe one play I'd recommend to anyone and everyone. What else? Well, shamefully for a librarian, I'm far too picky with my literature. My last big rush of books was detective fiction, but there wasn't anything there that really rung with me. The one book I remember actually gripping me and never letting go was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I was 11 or something when the second book came out, and I basically snatched it off my sister the moment she finished and stayed up well past midnight reading it. I fell in love with that world of magic, of fantasy, but when things got darker I don't think I kept up. It grew faster than I wanted it to, or something along those lines. I think Harry Potter was the first story that got me interested in actual writing. It was a fantastical world hidden right beneath our eyes, at the same time innocent yet stunning. I think at some level I wanted to make my own world like that, and things just went from there. |

So, which Harry Potter character would Sango hook up with? What about Touhou? |

How does it feel to come from the inferior side of the country, Weegie? What's your favourite type of swimsuit other than the school swimsuit thing? How would you feel if any of your work actually got published? And no cop-outs like "but it's not good enough to get published" or anything! (That's thoroughly untrue, for one thing. >.>) Jings, Rou-laddie... I hear yer no speakin' wi' the accent! Am I gonnae have tae go over tae that shithole called Glasgae an' chib ye or summit? >.< |

In the end, does it really matter? |
