1. What scent is your shampoo?

🌬️ Mint!

2. What’s something interesting that you’ve carried on your shoulders or back?

Probably my little brother...when he was much littler, obviously.

3. What’s your favorite dance step or move?

"I don't dance", Sasuke snapped back. Honestly, though, I can't really think of anything in particular...when I listen to music on a portable device I guess I do pace around? And like, snap my fingers or occasionally do a twirl without thinking about it. Embarrassing when other people walk in on me doing that. 😂

4. Who do you spend the most time with?

Myself...but also some family members.

5. Is there anything in your daily life that you need to stand on tiptoe or get a stool to reach?

At 5-foot-0-or-1? Yep. Especially at work, always having to reach for items on high, high shelves. Again, embarrassing when other people see me struggling with that, lol.

1. How many languages do you speak?

Fluently? One, English. I know bits of Spanish (I understand more than I speak) and a little less of Japanese.

2. What is your mother tongue?

Well, English. 😂 My parents were born in Puerto Rico and speak Spanish as well, but my dumb child self didn't want to learn any and now my adult self lives in regret....

3. What is a language that you would like to learn and why?

More Spanish and Japanese! I feel ashamed for not knowing more Spanish (especially when I get customers at my job asking for help en Español and I have to tell them that I'm not totally fluent).  As for the latter...it's a really interesting language.

4. Does it bother you when people speak a language you don't know in front of you? Why or why not?

Nope! I'd only get irritated if I suspect someone's making fun of me, but it'd be the same if they were whispering to someone in English and I couldn't understand them. It's not on the language and I would never get on their case for that....

5. Speak to me.

1. Do you like spicy food?

Yesss! I don't care that my snot leaks out!

2. Do you like your cereal crunchy or soggy?

Crunchy for the most part, but I also kinda love soggy Cocoa/Fruity Pebbles lol



3. Do you like ice in your drinks?

Not really! When I get drinks from soda dispensers I never add ice (the drink's usually cold anyways). And in the rare times I do, it's usually like two cubes only.

4. What is the strangest thing you have eaten?

Chicken gizzards at Golden Corral when I was younger. I had no idea what they were, but as soon as I found out, I had to stop. 😂 I also once ate a sandwich made up of mashed avocado, spinach leaves, and bbq sauce on French bread. Tasted weirdly good to me.

5. What food would you like to eat right this minute?

Those fried cheddar bites from Zaxby's. I always get them with Honey Mustard. (Another weird food combo. :P)

First, thefridayfive! Time to expose myself~

1) What's the most cluttered spot in your home?

My bedroom lmao.

2) What's your method for decluttering?

Choosing a small area and then picking stuff in a specific order (ex. picking up any scattered papers, then stuff like clothes and going from there). Also taking breaks if I have to.

3) What are your favorite cleaning products?

I don't always use them, but when dealing with dusty areas, I prefer wearing gloves. For dishes, Mrs. Meyer's soaps!

4) What helps get you motivated to clean up?

Listening to music or videos on youtube (short comedy sketches, commentary channels, or video essays lately). Also the thought of having a clearer area, and more space to actually decorate a room however I like.

5) What's the most organized spot in your home?

Kitchen and bathroom, thankfully.

From this week's thefridayfive 

1. What is the last book you read and what book(s), if any, are you currently reading?

I'm ashamed to admit this, but it's been a long time since I've actually read a new book. And I love reading! I really should go visit our library. There's plenty I'm interested in reading, like the Locked Tomb series. As for the last book I've read, just rereading old ya novels I read back in high school. Oh, Julie Ann Peters....

2. How about moving pictures? Are you a fan of any TV show or movie right now?

Yep, a bunch of them! For movies, my recent favorites have been the Ghibli films I've seen (about 2/3 of the collection), Pixar's Turning Red , both vols of Kill Bill, the Austin Powers trilogy, Heathers, Clueless, and more.

The last show I've watched was Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! It was quite interesting. Love the character designs, very unique and diverse, also I was so surprised when I heard Asakusa's voice for the first time. Her voice's on the deeper end, like a stereotypical shonen protagonist, I LOVE IT. And I related to her and Mizusaki's characters in quite a few ways.

3. What's your favorite genre, and why?

Human relation stories (be they romantic, familial, friendship, etc), comedies, action/adventure, musicals. Honestly, I think I'm fine with any genre, I can't think of any I'd exclude except maybe like, torture porn or something. (I did just watch American Psycho last night, but I don't it counts.) Anything that can entertain me and/or make me think. 

4. If we were all evacuating the planet, and you could only bring 3 unique works of entertainment for posterity, which would you pick? Let's just assume that we've coordinated it so there are no repeats.

Aw man...broadly speaking, I'd pick

• a drama or more serious media property
• a comedy
• a banging or boppin' music album

5. Do you make new works as well (fannish or original both count)? Or is that not your skillset/interest?

Not very recently. :( I used to have so many ideas for both but lately, it's hard. I haven't been as involved in fandom as I used to beyond passively looking at fanart or pretty gifs or reading discussions other people had. Though I do have some ideas for original stories....

Pour one out for the many icon posts over the span of nearly two decades ruined by Photobucket's fuckery.

Seriously, it makes searching for icons so much harder. Wish I had the skills (and actual computer) to make some of my own....
