It's about time I introduced myself! And don't try to stop me!
*****
Hola.
I'm Michael Lance, an aspiring mangaka and a (not exactly) starving artist. I know I've posted my intro thread already (in the General Topics area, if I remember correctly), but I've been seeing all of these other intro threads where the inroductee answers questions asked of him/her by other members of the forums. So, this is my interview thread - ask away!

[color=#ffffff]Q: 1.What's your favorite amusement park(s)?[/color]
A: Darien Lake, hands down. Though I am also fond of Seabreeze.
[color=#ffffff]Q: 2.Who's your favorite anime characters?[/color]
A: Kanade Tachibana ("Angel Beats!"), Ichigo Kurosaki ("Bleach"), and my own, original character: Michael Lance ("Advent") at his second stage of development, during the "Daylight" arc.
[color=#ffffff]Q: 3.What's your favorite restaurant(s)?[/color]
A: Giovanna's; they make some really amazing pizza there.
[color=#ffffff]Q: 4.What's your favorite food?[/color]
A: Hmmm. I've thought of this one before, but I've never really settled. I'd have to say submarine sandwiches, because of all the different varieties.
[color=#ffffff]Q: 5.Do you have any siblings?[/color]
A: Yes, actually; I have two, though their names will not be mentioned here, due to internet safety precautions.
[color=#ffffff]Q: 6.Do you follow the latest fashion, like in magazines, on models, etc?[/color]
A: Ha! Not a chance. Though I do quite like my scarf - it's very long and billows in the wind. Kinda makes me look like an anime character on a blustery day.

Q: 1. Favorite writers?
A: Tite Kubo - wrote Bleach, which is by far the best manga I've ever read. Christopher Paolini - wrote the Inheritance cycle, a fantasy series which took me almost half a lifetime to read. And finally, Rick Riordan, who wrote the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and is currently working on two other series which I thoroughly enjoy.
Q: 2. Favorite animal?
A: Unless my choice had to be a real animal, I would have to say dragons: they represent power in all its forms, and they're just downright epic.
Q: 3. Favorite color?
A: Sapphire blue.

Q: 1. Do you prefer huskies or chihuahuas?
[B]A: Personally, I prefer huskies: they're big and fluffy, whereas chihuahuas have a tendancy to (literally) climb all over me with their little claws digging into my back and shoulders. Plus, huskies can be trained to protect (or even attack) people, which makes me happy.
Q: [/B]2. What is your favorite smell?
A: Puppies. I can't explain why, but puppies smell really good. My sister's German Shepheard still smells like one even though we've had it for about three years now.
Q: 3. What does 'karakuri' mean?
A: A karakuri is (to the best of my knowledge) a mechanical/automated Japanese doll, in the traditional sense. However, as a slang term, it can also be put into a context where it refers to anything mechanical that has a relatively humanoid shape.
Q: 4. Do you know or are you studying any other languages?
A: I know
some Spanish, and I know some Japanese terms that, unfortunately, would make your hair curl if I told you. This is mostly due to experiences with non-Christian otakus, just fyi.
Q: 5. Can you cross your eyes?
A: Yeah, but I only do it on weekends.

Q: A typical zombie apocalypse arrives. What is your rifle of choice, and why?
A: Probably something along the lines of an M-16 or AR-15, mostly because it's the only non-hunting rifle I'm familiar with. Why? Well, an M-16 can have some pretty powerful bling; grenade launchers, bayonets, shotguns and more can be equipped for added firepower or increased stability. Also, it can either be set to Semi-Auto for conservation of bullets, or to Full-Auto in the event of a charging zombie hoarde. And finally - it's just a freakin' awesome gun.

Q: If you could drop anything off of the Sears Tower what would it be?
A: Now, THIS is a tough question. Considering the fact that I could drop anything I wanted, I'd probably drop the world's largest water balloon, just to watch the flash flood that results on impact ^^.\/n
