Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Do you have a name?

Yeah, we're all given one at birth, right? But I'm not gonna give you that one. Just call me Mandy... or some variant of my username. That works too.

Where do you live?

Do you guys not read? Seriously, it's in my profile, but oh well. I live in Texas. Longview, Texas to be precise. That's the eastern part of Texas.

You're not a gun-totin', God-fearing, Christian redneck, are you?

No, but I am a Christian (not God-fearing in the least) and I do listen to country music. I also go to a lot of tail gating parties and drink a shitload of iced tea. Oh, and brownie points for you if you listen to Loretta Lynn.

Okay, so I see you've got this wide variety of music you listen to. Do you listen to rap or hip-hop?

That really depends. You see, I don't like the gang-banger s**t. That's not what I call music. It's more like, complaining about how life dealt you a shitty hand, but whatever. Most of the music on my iPod is J-pop.

How old are you?

Getting stalker like her, are we? I'm eighteen, old enough to vote. Old enough to buy cigarettes. Old enough to gamble.

Who did you vote for on Election Day?

I voted for the McCain-Palin ticket, bby. And if you think it's because I'm racist or something, you're dead wrong. Obama's a cool guy, but I don't think he has enough experience to lead our country in its current state. He also hasn't even been in the army, and yet, he's now Commander-in-Chief... I just seriously don't think that's right.

Your profile background has some pretty Asian girls on it. Who are they?

Glad you asked. That band is PUFFY, known as Puffy AmiYumi in America for their short-lived cartoon series on Cartoon Network (and yes, for the record, I watched that too). In case you didn't know, they also sing the Teen Titans theme song, and "Sunrise" on SD Gundam Force, as well as the ending theme song for One Piece.

You've pretty much told me that you're a nerd. Are you a gamer girl too?

Oh hell yeah, honey! I play a lot of RPG games. My favorite video game series ever is Xenosaga but The Legend of Zelda comes in at a close second place. I think Final Fantasy is overrated, to tell you the truth. I do though, for some reason, really like Quistis. I don't know. Maybe it's her look? Anyway, I think she kicks some major a**.

Oh, I see here that you worked at GameStop. Can I have a discount?

Haha, no.

Alright, time for a serious question. Are you going to college?

Yeah, after I graduate, I'm heading to community college for a couple years to get my basics out of the way, and hopefully after that, I'll transfer into the University of Texas at Austin. I'm planning to go to their Radio-Television-Film school and minor in Asian studies. I wanna be a screenwriter, director, and film producer.

Damn, that's a long list of achievements. No wonder you have such a long list of movies.

You know, I could make it longer if you like. I've got piles of movies sitting on the shelves in my room, but honestly, I only really watch Asian cinema anymore. Lately though, I've been getting into some action-adventure movies, like Indiana Jones and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The Mummy series reigns supreme as my favorite action-adventure movie series (except the third one because I haven't seen it and refuse to; I will not accept the new actress as Evelyn. On the other hand, Isabella Leong is was effin' awesome).

Oh s**t! You like girls, don't you?

Why, yes. Yes, I do -- and I really hope that we don't have a problem with that. By the way, I am no longer single. A special somebody helped me to realize that it was time to give in and let someone new into my life. Thanks, love. <3

Whoa, how did you get the items on your avatar?

Well, my account happens to be a bit deceiving, although not by much. I made this account about a week after my original account, so I've been around a little longer. The items, however, we painstakingly quested for since I didn't have a life at the time (and really still don't). I can't draw worth a flip, so opening an art mini-shop wasn't an option for me. I admit, I beg for gold here and there, but I've also participated in giveaways and contests in order to gain some gold. Also, my friends randomly donate to me when I whine or when they're just bored. razz
