Curiosity will kill the cat if you don't answer my questions. (contains pics)

I have been answering 100 random questions all evening so I want to ask you guys some of my own serious, random, stupid, personal, weird questions that have either been swarming around my head like bees for some time now or they are ones that I have made up on the spot.

WHAT IS THIS THING? WHAT'S GOING ON???? What is it with the side-swept bangs???
I'm not saying it's bad. I just want answers.

3. If you left Blue Cheese out, will mold grow on the mold?

For now,

I will answer 100 random questions PART 3

Almost done :)
This is supposed to start with
Forty-one

  6. What did you want to be when you grew up? When I was little, because I love animals, I wanted to be a vet for quite a long time until I realized you had to perform surgeries and look at the insides of a live animal. Then I wanted to be a writer.
  7. If you could have any job, what would you want to do/be? Work with WWF or some other NGO and save tigers...is one. The other is a published writer that keeps getting requests to write :)

  21. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Night owl. Actually I like to say "cat" because cats are nocturnal. Anyway, non-domestic ones are. I once read that domestic cats have adapted themselves to our schedule and tend to sleep even during the night.
  22. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? I know I can't even before I try.
  23. Can you close your eyes and raise your eyebrows? I tried. I can but I probably look like someone who had just been woken up in the middle of the night and can't get their eyelids to open even when they try to force them open by raising their eyebrows.
  24. Do you have pets? I have one. A cat. Her name is Hana meaning "flower" in Japanese. She is a Ragdoll and she is ten years old.
  25. How many rings before you answer the phone? Depends if anyone is in the house. If I'm by myself, two or three. Sometimes I'll wait for more to see if the person might just give up so that I don't have to deal with them.

So that's the end of "I will answer 100 random questions" series. I thought I was gonna skip some but I answered them sarcastically and hopefully in a funny way instead while avoiding the truth.

Anywayz...

See ya later, alligators! :D

I will answer 100 random questions PART 2

Here is the rest of it... I may have to make a part 3, but we'll see (intentional rhyme).

Last one was number 30 and it's supposed to start with 31 but the automatic system refuses to do that so, just, deal with it :/

  1. If you could change something about your home, without worry about expense or mess, what would you do?
    My parents would hate me if I did anything. Certainly one room would be exclusively for beanies and stuffed animals and books and comics and just lounge space so I can get all my clothes into my closet.
  2. What was the last thing you bought? With my own money? Uhm...a comic book.
  3. Have you ever ridden on a motorbike? No and definitely would not. Those things...GAH! How much do you have to lean when turning before you fall over and...and...no way!
  4. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? ....neither. I like the ground, thank you.
  5. Do you have a garden? Nope. My mom does.
  6. Do you really know all the words to your national anthem? Yup. I could, but I won't, sing it at karaoke.
  7. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? "That was a weird dream..." or "I wanna go back to that dream it was amazing...there was a cute guy that liked me..."
  8. If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be? Jennifer Lawrence. She's someone I feel like I could make easy friends with. If an actress doesn't count then...Michelle Obama seems pretty nice. I'll ask her about tigers (my other blog is dead now, sorry guys. But tigers are still endangered. #thatdoesn'tchange!)
  9. Who sent the last text message you received? My two friends from uni. Trying to find a day to meet-up with them.
  10. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? BARNS & NOBLE!!!! I once spent two hours, ate lunch, and spent two more hours looking at books. I bought twelve. OH HEAVEN HERE I COME!!! (There are no Barns & Noble in Japan so that will explain the crazy.)
  11. What time is bed time? When I feel tired. Hahaha, well, some time between 12-2.
  12. Have you ever been in a beauty pageant? Nope. Never will be. Fake beauty blah. I wanna be myself without having to do so much and worry and stuff.
  13. How many tattoos do you have? None.
  14. If you don't have any, have you ever thought of getting one? Never. It stays until you die. Heck, all that wrinkly skin...your tattoos will surely look sad and disgusting.
  15. What did you do for your last birthday? I went to school. Endured pain. Got presents from my friends. Went out to lunch and had coffee with them. They told me happy birthday... Meh, it wasn't too bad I guess. Good to have friends that actually remember your birthday and remember to do something about it. And of course I do something in return. I always celebrate their birthdays :)
  16. Do you carry a donor card? I don't know. I have a health card that says stuff about donor stuff on the back and you have to check boxes and stuff.  So yeah, I guess I do carry it around. I mean, I have to. It's like your identity card or something.
  17. Who was the last person you ate dinner with? If it's like going out to dinner other than with my parents, it would have to be my ex. As friends, of course. I can talk to him about anything because we HAVE dated and have known each other in personal ways. (This is a secret. Don't tell my mom or my dad. They'd kill my phone.)
  18. Is the glass half empty or half full? If the stuff in the glass tastes good, I say any bit will quench the thirst :)
  19. What's the farthest-away place you've been? The States.
  20. When's the last time you ate a homegrown tomato? Gosh...elementary school??????
  21. Have you ever won a trophy? This is kinda funny. I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER (x10000) won anything. I have very bad luck with things like that. No matter how hard I try :)
  22. Are you a good cook? I'm good at making miso soup. Does that count?
  23. Do you know how to pump your own gas? I learned how to pump gas into my mom's car last month. Does that count?
  24. If you could meet any one person (from history or currently alive), who would it be? Here is a list of the people that popped into my mind. Ellen Degeneres, iisuperwomanii, Grace Helbig (been watching lots of YouTube today), Candace (she was on soulpancake channel for a while), Cher Lloyd and Little Mix at the same time (I really think the two should do a song together and I would help with music video ideas :D )
  25. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to school? My junior high and high school. In Japan, it is the norm with a few exceptions like schools that have colleges connected to them.
  26. Do you touch-type? blind type? Uhm, I don't look at the keyboard unless I have to type anything around the number realm or the "" ! # $ % & ' () = ~ | and other stuff.
  27. What's under your bed? Dust. Hair. Old pens.
  28. Do you believe in love at first sight? Not really. I think it's really iffy. I mean, how can you trust that a guy likes you if he tells you he wants to date you because of "love at first sight"?
  29. Think fast, what do you like right now? danisnotonfire and Legolas (movie version). Sorry. But I'm not boy crazy, I swear!
  30. Where were you on Valentine's day? I stopped celebrating it in high school it became such a pain to buy chocolates for my friends and worry about if they'll give back on White Day (3/14)... I just did what I normally do on Saturday. Sleep, eat, mess on my phone, go out to coffee by myself, read a book, write...
  31. What time do you get up? 7:30-10:30 are about the times you can expect me to be up.
  32. What was the name of your first pet? Pixie. American Shorthair mix. For those who don't know, Pixie is a cat.
  33. Who is the second to last person to call you? Probably my mom. You know how mom's are. (Winnie the Pooh second reference).
  34. Is there anything going on this weekend? I have a part time job at Seven-Eleven on Sunday and Saturday I'm supposed to give a presentation to my parents on stuff to do with academic stuff that I'm reading.
  35. How are you feeling right now? Pumped up with caffeine.
  36. What do you think about the most? "Will I find the perfect guy for me? Will I get married? I wanna get married and have kids, that would be nice. I need to write, write, write Liaffon. I wonder if anyone on Figment has posted on my cover shop in the forumssss... I'm sleepy, hungry, WHY WON'T MY PARENTS UNDERSTAND ME???" and...yeah, I think about stuff a lot.
  37. What time do you get up in the morning? Go to Question 31 on this page. It answers your pending question.
  38. If you had A Big Win in the Lottery, how long would you wait to tell people? I'd keep it a secret and take it to my grave. Because I know that no good ever comes out of telling people you won the lottery.
  39. Who would you tell first? I SAID NO ONE! Well, okay, maybe my cat. She's good at keeping secrets.
  40. What is the last movie that you saw at the cinema? I thought we talked about this, god, can't you remember? Sorry, God, I didn't mean you. It's just the way we say things. Anyway God, you should definitely watch The Maze Runner. Awesome sauce (iisuperwomanii reference)
Okay, that was the forty thieves (Aladdin and the Forty Thieves reference).

See ya in the next episode, alligators :D

I will answer 100 random questions


100 random questions site link linked

I would study but my brain is like melted ice cream...
Phew, I just rushed downstairs to eat a watermelon cuz my parents are gonna eat all the sweet juicy watermelon I picked out today. Is the key to good sweet watermelon, one without so many seeds?

Anywayz. Here are the questions. Some of the numbers might go missing if I decide to skip them because they were either too personal or private or ones I just don't wanna answer.
  1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.
  2. Which isn't a question but I'll do it anyway. "It is worth noting that a private sector company undertook measures normally left to various Government departments" (Biswas et al., 2014).
    The book is called "Creating Shared Value   Impacts of NestlĂ© in Moga, India" by Asit K. Biswas et al.
    Sorry it's so academical but I didn't have any fun books nearest to me (british accent).

  3. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can, What can you touch? Uhm, air? My closet door is currently there but...I don't feel it...oh, there it is! Wayyyy over there!
  4. Before you started this survey, what were you doing? I was watching Colleen's Corner on YouTube and tearing up when I watched her proposal video.
  5. What is the last thing you watched on TV? I don't watch TV.
  6. Without looking, guess what time it is 16:40 ish?
  7. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time? 17:14. CLOSE. Don't tell me I wasn't close.
  8. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? Actually my laptop is totally silent. I can hear my air conditioner. And some birds tweeting.
  9. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? I went out with my mom at about 10:40 to shop for lunch and sell some used books.
  10. Did you dream last night? Of course, nuts! Everyone dreams every night! Don't anyone say you didn't dream! You just don't remember it. Plus, the only dreams we remember are the ones we had just before waking up.
  11. Do you remember your dreams? A lot of them. I made these stories out of them but you know how dreams are, you can't remember everything perfectly? So I came up with Dream Fiction. I'll post some but most of them are pretty creepy. I wake up, surprised at myself, wondering where on earth I got those ideas from.
  12. When did you last laugh? About ten minutes ago.
  13. Do you remember why / at what? I snickered at a question on this site.
  14. What is on the walls of the room you are in? The room I am in is my own room at home. There is a fantasy like dolphin-lagoon-paradise-forest-jungle poster on my wall. And a piece of annoying paper my mom made when I was studying for GRE. It tells me how to right Issue and Argument Essays. Blah. Gotta take that down.
  15. Seen anything weird lately? Miranda Sings. When I saw her for the first time, I thought she was a real person. Therefore, I thought she was pretty weird. Until, of course, I found out she was fictional. I still think she's weird but I don't hate on her.
  16. What do you think of this quiz? If your brain is melting, it's s good thing to do...WAIT WHAT? It's a quiz?!?! You mean then, there's like a right and wrong to my answers?!?! GAH! I'VE FAILED! (joking of course)
  17. What is the last film you saw? I went to see...The Maze Runner. Very good stuff. Some cliché moments but the plot is super interesting.
  18. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? In an old house in Paris, covered in vines... (Madeline reference) No, well, maybe somewhere in Europe. How about Madagascar? Has a nice ring to it if you could say you've lived in Madagascar. People will think you're so frickin exotic :D
  19. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? I probably would keep the money hidden away somewhere until I stop panicking. Then I would buy plane tickets for first class and book all expensive deluxe hotels in Europe and travel around with people waiting on me and helping me out. But I would tell them if I need help. I have this sort of pet peeve of doing things on my own. I'm not a weakling.
  20. Tell me something about you that most people don't know. Who is "me"? And I'm not gonna tell "you" because if I tell "you" most people WOULD know.
  21. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? Japanese style toilets should be banished. And smoking should, too. Two things. But if I had to choose, probably smoking.
  22. Do you like to dance? Not so much. I like to watch it, though. And I like to sing. I have, sometimes, improv-danced to Little Mix songs when I was alone in my dorm room.

  24. Does your name make any interesting anagrams? N. J. Folettia....Toilet J Fan... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (straight face laugh creeepyyy)
  25. Who made the last incoming call on your phone? Probably my mom. You know how moms are :D (Winne the Pooh reference. The one where Piglet learns how to skate.)
  26. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? I rarely download anything on my laptop. I did download something from the Big Fish Game website. The free trial.
  27. Last time you swam in a pool? OH GOD. I don't even remember what a pool looks like it's been so long...just kidding, I remember but really, when the HECK was the last time I got into a pool??? At least 4 or 5 years ago.
  28. Type of music you like most? Pop. LITTLE MIX!!!!! OWL CITY!!!!! And others.
  29. Type of music you dislike most? Screamo. THAT IS NOT MUSIC, YO.
  30. Are you listening to music right now? Nope. I can't concentrate on typing if my fav song is playing in the background. That's how much I focus when I type.
  31. What color is your bedroom carpet? White??? But that's my bedroom rug... I like bare flooring.

So like, I didn't realize how many 100 random questions really were. I didn't even read them before hand so I'll just have to make another post.

So,

see yah in the next chaptah, alligatahs :D

Lions, Tugboats, and Tubby Toast OH MY!

When you think about it, you're never really too old for anything because, the people who made those things are adults. So, why shouldn't adults like them, too?

I'm not talking about clothes because that would just be ridiculous or maybe some sort of fetish. I'm talking about certain characters and TV shows.

Like, I would still watch Between the Lions.



It was always a great show. Yeah sure there are all those "Let's make learning fun, kids!" moments but hey, the stories were nice :D  And, not to mention super clever.

Click is so cute. I mean, the idea of the name. A mouse clicks. Get it? :D

I liked the part where the mother and father cook and hear how long they have to put it in the oven and then they say "Nah!" and eat it raw! :D

GO LIONS!

It was the best kids show and I would definitely still watch it :)

Another one is...Theodore the Tug Boat or something like that. I remember the song a little and liked the stories.



THIS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR, yet forgotten, classics. It was on the same channel as Barney and Friends. There was an episode called The Secret Cove or The Dark and Secret Cove or maybe it wasn't called that but it was about a "dark and secret cove" I think. It was a little creepy with creepy sounds and stuff. I think that was the first moment I watched anything close to horror.

And I LIKED IT!!! :D

Still one of my favorite episodes today. I mean, here I am about a decade later talking about it. There were lots of other ones I saw but I remember that one the most. And today, I watch even spookier horror with real live people and BLOOOODDDD *evil snicker* But I don't like too much painful gore *regular calm smile*. I don't like movies like "SAW". Those are awful in my opinion :/

Okay, back on track. Another one I would watch again just for the fun of it is... get ready guys, it is

TELETUBBIES!

Yes, I said it, er wrote...typed it, I would watch that strange show again. There was one about pancakes and this machine kept making them so the Noo-Noo??? had to suck it up and clean it up and stuff.



Looking at the captions in this pic reminded me that the pancakes were called Tubby Toast. I had forgotten that.

I remember, even as a kid, thinking "This is weird...but kinda interesting so I'll watch it."



When I really look at the Teletubbies now...they are some weird creepy monkey like things...sorry tubby fans.

That baby sun was the weirdest and those microphone-like things that came out of the ground and spoke in some sci-fi-woman-like voice. That weirdly calm yet cheerful voice...

But it was weird and...interesting.

Others would be...to get back on track, hehe...Magic School Bus, Arthur, the Puzzle Place, Hamtaro...you know Hamtaro, right? It's actually a Japanese anime but I watched it in English...and instead of Hamutarou (Ha-moo-ta-rou)it was Hamtaro. And "Hamu" is from "Hamusuta (Ha-moo-soo-tah)" which is basically the Japanese pronunciation of hamster.

Anyway, pic,





Others are...Barney and Friends but only a certain episode. There was one about your five senses. For some reason I really liked that one and wouldn't mind seeing it again some time...in the future...


A final one...I only remember clearly "By the Numbers"...which is apparently what this episode was called. I liked it for some reason. Or maybe it's just because it was the only episode of this show that my grandmother taped completely. She used to cut it off a lot. Or it would change to magic school bus or something.



Remember this one guys? Anyone remember this one?


Here are all the characters.

Oh, wait, another one I would watch!

Dragon Tales!!! :D  "I wish, I wish with all my heart. To fly with the dragons in the land apart."
For a long time I thought they said "in the land of art" and wondered if the dragons were really the dragons on the wall and that's where they went all the time, just in the walls or in a picture or something like that. You know, the dragons didn't do much flying. When they went on dangerous adventures, it would have been less dangerous if they just flew. Like when they went to a rainbow valley or something to collect colors.






Just to let ya guys know, I'm in my twenties. And I'll probably never stop liking kids' stuff that adults made :D

If you like it, age should not matter!!...is what I always say :)

"I don't care/What they're going to say!" --"Let It Go"--Frozen

See ya later alligators!

Disclaimer Note: None of the pics are mine. I own none of them.

How to Solve the Female Rubik's Cube

Someone on BuzzFeedYellow just said that women are like Rubik's Cubes. Well, actually it had to do with sex, but I don't talk about those things here.

It seems right, though, that when women are said to be complicated, they are just like Rubik's Cubes.

And I still haven't figured out my own puzzle and I don't know if I EVER will. Yes, for those of you who haven't realized, I am a girl. Er, young woman, maybe.

Anyway, maybe I can give guys some tips on how to solves us?????

So, red...hmmm...maybe anger...

When women are angry, DO NOT TELL THEM TO CALM DOWN.
That's like poking a frustrated lion with a stick. IT JUST GETS WORSE, guys. RAWR.

I would just... let the anger run its course. Just nod at her every word, don't fight back. If the situation doesn't seem to calm down, you leave the room and come back. But let her know where you're going and that you're coming back. Otherwise... "WHERE DA HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" will happen.

Guys might be like fight, fight, punch, scream, okay we're good, love ya bro. But women have more expression of feelings and sometimes they just need to let it all out. Vent. Come back. And hopefully they've checked back on the situation so that maybe they will forgive you and love you again. Depends. Unless, of course, you've cheated on her. Then yeah, your fault man.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a couple's counselling professional. Not all of my words may be helpful.

Orange...period.
The female period comes in all shapes and sizes. It's all I can say.

Yellow...um...idk.

Green is envy. DO NOT CHEAT ON HER if you truly care about her and love her.  For me, I don't like a guy who boasts about himself or doesn't make the lines clear between his girlfriend and his friend that is a girl. Don't touch her, I said! But I don't say because envy is very ugly. I'm going off on a tangent. Hope you guys know what you're doing.

Blue. Sadness. If she has had a bad day and is looking down and if you know just the things, like food or other things that she likes, give it to her. If she just wants to talk, don't ask her what's wrong, tell her you're there to listen if there is anything she would like to talk about. Tell her you'll be completely focused and listen to her. Women want their men to listen to them and be there for them. THAT'S WHAT MAKES US FEEL LOVED GUYS. This is very important in a relationship. A guy who doesn't listen, well, the girl is just wasting her life on ya.

HARSH but THE TRUTH.

White. What da heck is this color. If you guys reading this are wondering, I have dated a guy that only thought about what HE wanted and what HE liked and didn't care if he was putting my safety in jeopardy, that frickin idiot. If you don't want to be called a frickin idiot behind your back, I suggest to listen to your woman and be there for her and think about what she might like or what might make her happy. THAT'S WHAT MAKES HER FEEL LOVED.

So, hopefully you guys read this. Hopefully maybe one of you is single and you and I can have something going... maybe not :P

I'm an educated young woman who vents and talks on blogs and writes stories and likes abandoned buildings and makes up different versions of "Let It Go" in my room so you might be in for a storm.


I put the caption and words in myself :D
Plus, I did this in like less than 5min.
Anyways...
See ya later alligators!
