Write 20 random facts about yourself, then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts. If you're tagged, it's your turn.


1. I’m more of a voyeur than a participant.
2. … The above might change depending on who's doing what
3. I like beer and wedges/pizza
4. I think penguins are cool
5. Love my dad because I can have arguments with him about the moral ethics of the Jedi-order
6. Can’t stand capsicum, unless it is so finely chopped that it can’t be tasted anymore
7. Can’t eat chicken feets because they remind me of baby hands
8. Like tomato sauce and vegemite. Together.
9. I feel pretty after sex.
10. I should have sex more often.
11. Red is my favourite colour, I blame this on my mother’s indoctrination that RED is the BESTEST colour ever!
12. I’m happiest when I’m busy
13. I think Keanu Reeves is kind of hot, despite his mediocre acting talent
14. I read RP-fanfiction, and this is very distressing, except my Evil brain likes it a lot.
15. I’m one of those people who flip right to the end of a novel/movie because I can’t stand the not knowing.
16. …Then I go back to where I left off and read the whole thing.
17. My preferred genre is fantasy, and my least favourite genre is sci-fi (novels), though half of my top 10 favourite books of all time are sci-fi
18. I’m more straight than I’m bi. Viewing females as a sexual partner just doesn’t happen that often.
19. Can’t stand Halle Berry because of the way she looks, and her obnoxious views.
20. My second and third toe are overly long *cries*


Um, took seven minutes. I tag whomever is interested.

Yeah, I was disappointed too. It would be interesting to have a heroine at least once.

I am also #15. XD

But have you seen him?! He's like, like, like *gestures madly* WHAT HAPPENED?!

I'm compulsive when it comes to #15. No self control at all. Hmm, probably why I LOVE spoilers.

I don't know... Besides, if Falena is really a *queendom* (meaning, I suppose, that it is always ruled by a woman and men are prohibited from the throne), shouldn't the prince be a woman? XD

Yep, spoil me all the way.

Yes, but that's working under the assumption that women like seeing another woman as a lead. I mean I have to admit I tend to avoid the books where it is the woman that's the hero; many of them are Mary-Sues in disguise (not saying I don't like Mary Sues, I do, I just like my own :p) In addition, I rather fantasise about the male lead (or the two male leads) rather the female lead (unless they are really appealing, gods knows I read enough het-Farscape fanfiction, and 'Utena' was my fandom for the longest time. But the female characters need to be TRULY compelling.)

... Actually, now I'm going to get slightly side-tracked.

I was commenting to one of my guy friend (also a writer in trade) how, in general, I find male characters more interesting than female characters because I find many female characters to be extremely blend and boring. He replied that he thought it was the complete opposite, he find that female characters are more interesting because there’s always more than there is, either in their actions or in what they say; layers upon layers. He went on by saying that men were the boring characters, as they are what they represent. I’m not sure I agree with him but I have to admit it does throw a spanner in the way I see things. There has always been a basic assumption by me that it was almost universal that people found male characters to be more compelling and interesting, and now I’m beginning to question if it is a gender thing. Do an individual automatically find the opposite sex more interesting in fiction. Hmm.

Although, I don't know if the target audience of Suikoden really is females. I had thought it was more general. Personally I tend to avoid books in general (cause I have too many I need to read) unless recommended to me or spoken of highly XD, but I often find male leads also uncompelling and tend to latch onto the secondaries.

Hmm, perhaps it is a sexuality thing? I recall with Ranma 1/2 fandom, the only one I observed where there were a lot of male writers, that a lot of them focused on the female characters and could get quite passionate about defending them. (Ah, fanboys) Actually, from fanboy behavior in general, I notice that a lot of them spend a lot of time talking about the female charas. (This also ties into the way not all female heavy shows (in terms of numbers) are directed at women, while not all shows that have only male characters are directed at men...)
