A couple of people that I watch are doing this one...

1. What does your deviantart name mean and why did you join this site?

They're my initials and the year that I was born. Only in freshman year of high school (2001) did I catch on that my initials actually made a cool word. So that became part of my AIM screenname. When I joined here "Rad" was taken, so I added on the date.

I joined the site to post my MLP and Escaflowne fanfiction. And to watch other people.

2. What fandom were you obsessed with when you joined and what are you into now?

My Little Pony and Escaflowne. Still into Escaflowne, though not much happens with it. Not so much MLP because I've kinda lost interest in collecting them... and I don't have any money. I just graduated from college after four years of not having money, currently I'm jobless, and I'm getting married in four months and my fiance isn't rich. So, I kinda stopped collecting. I still love the little things; I'll keep my original collection for my own daughters. Or sons. I am also into TMNT, Inuyasha, X-Men (Evolution), Avatar, and anything COLORFUL or funny that catches my eye.

3. How many watchers do you have now?

Uh, watchers...? Eleven! I have eleven!

4. Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA.

Marbletoast, Rose (berryberryrose/morrichan), and... Oh, just go look at my favorite artist list! That's why it's there!

5. Do you comment, fave, or both?

I comment if I have something to say that's relatively different that what several (million) other people have said. If the piece is older and many (million) people have already commented, I fave and run. I do fave if I like the piece or want to come back to it (ie: reading material) in the future.

6. Do you participate in clubs' contests here on DA?

Kinda... no. I did once or twice in the Escaflowne club I'm in. I will in the future (if it is a writing challenge).

7. What is your most popular deviation?

Done: Jester's Rehairing.

8. What are your favorite non-anime TV shows?

LOST, TMNT, NT:NM, Castle, Fraiser, Charmed.

9. What are the things you wish you could draw better?

Everything.

10. Summer or winter?

Summer.

11. Rain or Sun?

Sun.

12. What's your favorite type of music?

It depends on my mood and whether I'm listening to the radio or my own music. I like Christian, some pop, some dance, and some rock. I LOVE the Escaflowne and Shrek soundtracks.

13. PC or Mac?

PC. Though I have never used a MAC. I think the TV commercials for them being represented as men is FUNNY as all get out.

14. Anime or manga?

Anime! Though my one experience with manga would be the English Escaflowne. That... no thank you. I have read one other manga... it was ok. I'm not a big fan of "comics" and... manga is basically a long comic to me. I'd rather do lots of reading and have less pictures.

15. Coke or Pepsi?

Coke, because their Cherry and Vanilla taste better than Pepsi, IMHO. Though both are fine with me. School had Pepsi.

16. Read or TV?

Read, now that I have free time!

17. How many hours a day do you spend on DA?

Depends on how many deviations are there for me to view and hopefully comment or read. Anywhere from five minutes to three hours if I randomly decide to shift though searches and new artists' galleries and favorites.

18. Name a hidden talent.

I can frenchbraid my own hair.

19. Flash or traditional cartoons?

Probably traditional. What TV shows are in flash? I'm not sure I'd know what I was looking at...

20. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?

Burger King. McDonald's is a very close second. They both have their pros and cons.

21. What are your top 3 favorite books?

"I could no sooner pick a favorite star in the heavens," to quote Danielle from Ever After. I couldn't pick three favorite books, actually, because I enjoy reading series. There's a list on my profile page. Go there and look.

22. Wii or Playstation?

N64. I'm old school. Wii to a Playstation though.

23. Name 3 of your favorite bands.

Rich Mullins and a Ragamuffin Band. Um... let's go with two more artists: Jesse McCartney and Clay Aiken.

24. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?

Usually fast-ish. Depends on if I'm distracted or out of practice.

25. Do you like Denny's?

Yes. Great breakfast food for a decent price.

26. What is your favorite emoticon?

^_^

48. What do you want to be now?

Employed!! I want to be a writer/editor.

49. If you could eat one person, who would it be?

EEEEW! I suck face with my fiance... but that's about it!

50. What character would you hate to be stuck in a room with?

O.O Watch me not pay attention to this question... I thought it read "What character would you WANT to be stuck in a room with?". --> Katara or Hitomi.

Now that I am rereading this PLT a few hours later (and catching a couple of mistakes)... Ha. Ha. Ha. I would NOT want to be stuck in a room with Dilandau or Azula. Although as some grand artist has drawn here, I think the two of them together might make a great pair.

51. When is your birthday?

September 19, 1986.

52. Favorite type of ice cream?

Butterfinger!

53. Last book you read?

Currently reading Naomi Novink's Tremeraire 4: Empire of Ivory (I think that's the full title).

54. Which store would you max out a credit card at?

A bookstore.

55. Do you buy / sell / both on eBay?

No, too unlikely to sell something.

56. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?

"Are you excited for your wedding?" Uh... yes? What am I supposed to say? "No"? Of course I'm excited! I'm just not grinning from ear to ear or jumping up and down like an idiot. I'm sensible people, remember?

57. Favorite all time TV show?

One? Just one?

58. What was your favorite show as a kid?

Power Rangers, the original! (Before they went stupid!)

59. What are you listening to right now?

Evanescence: Wake Me Up Inside.

60. What is the last thing you ate?

Three cheese Hamburger Helper.

61. If you were a crayon what color would you be?

Sunset purple.

62. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?

The first thing I notice would of course be looks, because that is the first thing that one sees. The first thing I take real notice of would be character/attitude. And aura... somethings I get vague feelings about some people.

63. Favorite sport to play?

Volleyball!!! And indoors, not beach. Blech. And more competative than "fun!", I'm kinda a serious player.

64. Favorite day of the year?

Meh. The one(s) that I'm alive? (And WHY was "day" and "year" capitalized?? *Fixes*)

65. Hugs or Kisses?

"Kisses" is capitalized, so the questionairre (*too lazy to look up spelling for "questionairre") must be asking about candy/food. Uh... what's a Hug? Kisses. I like the peanutbutter-filled Kisses.

66. Chocolate or vanilla?

Vanilla!

67. Favorite board game?

Dur! "Board game" should NOT be capitalized! *Fixes* Favorite board game? Geesh... they've kinda gone out of use in my family/friends... Trouble.

Cherry blossom!, orange/citrus, fruit punch, licorice (I have licorice-flavored chapstick!! Yes, I'm sure that's spelled wrong... forgive me... I'm in a hurry. >.>, uh... cheese?

69. What inspires you?

Music and oddly, prom/homecoming dresses. Much as I hate to wear them. I think it's the colors more than anything. Other people's fanfiction or fanarts.

70. Do you have any piercings?

Two, on in each ear.

71. How many siblings do you have?

One, younger brother. In four months I'll gain a brother-in-law.

72. Bacon Bits or croutons?

Neither, croutons aren't that good and while I love bacon, Bacon Bits are... fake.

73. Favourite day of the week?

Any one I'm alive, doubly if I'm with my man! (Day and week should not be capitalized.)

74. Favourite phrase?

Um... "Whatever floats your boat, curls your hair, or butters your bread!" And yes, the whole thing!

75. Favourite restaurant?

I don't really have one... WHO started this? WHY did you capitalize "restaurant"??

Dogs and cats. Albino tigers.

77. Favourite thing to do outside?

Walking, sitting with friends, biking, kayaking.
