    The Hunger Games Trilogy

    I've only read the first book so far, but I have the second one on hold at our library...along with 20 other people. XD I really liked the first one, though. I read it in less than a day. The movie looks amazing! I can't wait to see it. :D

    Your Thoughts on MJ.

    Not necessarily. Lack of evidence does not mean that a crime was not committed. Personally, I didn't care for his music at all. It just wasn't my taste.

    Replaying Video Games

    I love replaying games. Usually I try to wait a while before replaying, but for some (like Portal, most recently) I can replay them right after I've beaten them. Right now I'm replaying TP to pass the time until SS arrives.

    Why Buy a 3DS?

    If you don't like the 3DS, that's your opinion, and I'm fine with that. However, I'm curious as to why you even bought it in the first place. It's been known for a while what games will be released soon on it, and if little to none of them interested you, why did you spend the money? Also, you...

    Games You Regret Selling

    I regret selling my original GameBoy and the Pokemon games for it. Also, 6 Golden Coins for GameBoy, although now that I got it from the 3DS shop I'm happy. Still miss the original Pokemon, though... :/

    Should I Join....

    This isn't really a decision that other people on the internet can make for you. Heck, don't even let your brother make it for you. You're the one who will have to live with what you decide, so think about the pros and cons and go from there. Best of luck, whatever you choose.

    What is the Last Book You Read

    The last book I read just for myself was Cell by Stephen King -- sort of an apocalypse story, pretty appropriate for Halloween. I also just finished WITSEC - Inside the Federal Witness Protection Program for my NaNoWriMo research.

    Is Using a Gaming Guide/walkthrough Cheating?

    I think it's mostly a personal preference. For me, I will do my best to not look at a walkthrough my first time playing a game (and I can be stubborn -- I've been stuck for weeks at a single point in a game and still refuse to look up the solution), and then on my second playthrough I'll use a...

    I Chose the WORST November to Try Out NaNoWriMo.

    I tried NaNo last year, but didn't do so well owing to the fact that I moved across the country that month. As long as you pace yourself, you should be able to do it. A lot of us doing NaNo are planning on using a "reward" system -- for me, I will not allow myself to play any video games until...

    Family Christmas Traditions

    We spend Christmas Eve with my father's side of the family. Hang out, catch up, open presents, that sort of thing. Then on Christmas morning, we open presents at home, and then go over to my grandmother's house to spend Christmas with my mother's side of the family. Then, in the evening, we go...

    What is Your Favorite TV Show?

    In the area of shows that are no longer actively producing new episodes, it would be Frasier. That show is hilarious, and never fails to make me smile no matter how awful I'm feeling. For shows that are still ongoing, Fringe. It is amazing.

    Uhh, Lord of the Rings Fans Discussion Thread?

    Me too! Ever since Fellowship came out, I've been hoping that they would make The Hobbit into a movie. I'm glad that it's being split into two parts; I feel like they'll be able to do a better job that way. This all reminds me that I really need to re-read the series. I haven't read it in at...

    Final Fantasy XIII

    Ah, then I wasn't the only one. That makes me feel a lot better; I felt really stupid. :D

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    I'm playing way too many games right now: Link's Awakening DX (3DS) Pokemon White (3DS) Ocarina of Time (3DS) Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360) I used to try to only play one game at a time, but I guess that is out the window.

    Final Fantasy XIII

    Since I've only ever played FFX before I played XIII, I had no problems with it. And in general, I'm not a very picky person when it comes to video games; it takes a lot for me to dislike a game. I loved the story and the music, and I enjoyed it. So I was satisfied. :) (Although it took me a...

    What Are You Thinking About Right Now?

    My mind has been occupied by thoughts of how I'm about to move in just about a week, and all of the things that I still have left to do and how much there is left to pack...and in general just nostalgia about all the memories I've had in this past year living in Florida.

    Which Do You Prefer? Handheld or Console?

    It really depends on what I'm looking for. I love both handhelds and consoles. If I'm in the mood for some serious in-depth gaming, I'll head for my consoles. If I want a casual distraction for a little while, I'll pull out a handheld. I can't say that I prefer one over the other. That's why I'm...

    Galaxy 1 or 2?

    Well, I haven't finished Galaxy 2 yet, so I can't give a definitive opinion, but so far I think that I like the original Galaxy better. Galaxy 2 is good so far, but it seems like just an extension of the first -- nothing new and original. Plus so far I like the levels in the first Galaxy better...

    Latest Video Game Purchase

    I just downloaded Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins on the 3DS Virtual Console. This was my first video game, and I adored it as a child. So, basically, my life is complete. I've been waiting for them to add this to the VC ever since I bought my 3DS.

    Ocarina of Time Ocarina of Time Getting Boring & Disappointing :(

    Since OoT is regarded by many as being one of the top games of all time, I don't think Nintendo would have dared to make it into a whole new game. You can't please everyone, of course, but we're getting SS soon, so there's your whole new Zelda game for you. Plus, if they had made an OoT2, how do...

    Ocarina of Time What Locations Would You Visit in OoT?

    I would definitely go to Lon Lon Ranch, since I love horses. Kakariko Village is on my list, too, and Castle Town to do some shopping - before it was infested, of course. Maybe even Kokiri Forest, although I'd feel pretty out of place with all the Kokiri since I'm so tall. ^^

    Is It Fair For A Teacher To Fail You For . . .

    Do I ever! Haha. This actually just happened to me last week. I had made a hotel reservation over the phone, and the woman I spoke to was having issues getting the spelling of my last name right. I spelled it to her four times "L as in lizard, etc", and thought all was well. Then, when I got to...

    Zelda Dungeon Scorn

    I read the news articles, I just don't see a need to comment. It doesn't seem like a huge deal that I don't leave comments on the articles.

    What You Do when Watching a Movie?

    I either play my 3DS, work on my various crafts, or do puzzles like Sudoku or fill-ins. It is very rare that I only watch a movie -- I always multi-task.

    Pokemon for DS - Suggestions?

    Well, I have WiFi, but I've never really had anyone to play with over WiFi, so I've been leaving it unconnected to conserve battery. I might try it out sometime, though. :)

    Pokemon for DS - Suggestions?

    Thanks for the advice; I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I am a little bit of a nostalgia lover, so I will have to distance myself a bit. Again, my thanks! (I do agree already that the soundtrack is amazing!)

    Pokemon for DS - Suggestions?

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Since I'm leaving on a trip in the next few days I went out and bought White today, since the majority seemed to recommend that. (Might try out HG/SS later, but for now White will do.) I feel like I've regained part of my childhood. :D Yeah, I know, I'm...

    Pokemon for DS - Suggestions?

    So, I was a huge fan of the original Pokemon games for GameBoy (Red, Blue, Yellow), but haven't played another one since then. I would like to get one for my DS, but I need some suggestions on which one to buy. I tried reading reviews online, but of course I couldn't really get any solid...

    The One Thing You Can't Live Without

    Definitely my phone. I was without it for a few hours while it was getting repaired, and I honestly felt lost. When I was leaving the house to pick it up, I literally walked around the apartment for a few minutes looking for it. I was so confused.

    Club Nintendo Rewards?

    As far as I can tell, some of the rewards available right now have been around for a long while, but they seem to add some new ones every month or so. So I guess it depends on if there's anything in there right now that you really want. Tough call.

    On Your Instrument....

    I learned the Mario theme on my clarinet in grade school, and our school band even played a Harry Potter medley in one of our concerts (I had a solo -- I was so proud!). More recently, I've been transcribing Legendary Hero from Wind Waker on the piano by ear. ^^

    What Do You Do when You're Depressed?

    The Most Scared You Have Been in Your Life.

    No, I don't mind. I had a seizure, which got me to the ambulance, and then I had a bunch more and they couldn't stop them, which landed me in the ICU. I've been living with my epilepsy ever since.

    Wii U - Buy It Immediately or Wait?

    Just because someone doesn't get a system right away, I don't think that means they're not a hardcore gamer. It just means they want to play it safe, or maybe they can't afford the system at the time. For me, I'll wait. I'm not sure how I feel about the new controller, and to be honest, my Wii...

    The Most Scared You Have Been in Your Life.

    When I was a teenager, I went to sleep one night and woke up in the driveway on a stretcher outside an ambulance surrounded by paramedics. Next time I woke up I was in the ICU. I was in the hospital for about a week. >.>

    Personal Ninja Moments

    A few years ago I was at our annual family reunion. It's a huge event, and we were all gathered for a picture. I was in the middle of the crowd. I was getting annoyed with so many pictures (it takes forever), so I wanted to get out. I managed to sneak out of the picture crowd without running...

    Should Nintendo Change Their Mascot to Link or Keep Mario.

    As much as I love the Zelda series, Nintendo should stick with Mario. Ask 20 people on the street what they think of when they hear "Nintendo", and I'm sure the majority will answer "Mario", whether they play video games or not. He's an icon. He is what got Nintendo started.

    Tattoos

    I have nothing against people who have tattoos; it's their choice, more power to them. I personally will never get any. It's far too permanent. Years from now, I don't know what my likes and interests are going to be. It's just not my thing.

    Anime!

    As of right now I'm just rewatching Fruits Basket for the heck of it, even though I liked the manga better. I can't think of any animes that I haven't seen before that I'd like to watch at the moment.

    Can Your Mom Talk Zelda?

    My mom doesn't know anything about the Zelda games. My dad, however, loves to watch me play. He watched me play a lot of TP, and would ask me casually over dinner "How's Link doing today?" and we'd discuss how I was doing in the game and what was next. :D

    What's Your Favorite Anime/Manga?

    Well, the only manga I've ever read is Fruits Basket -- I think right now I'm on chapter 112, so I'm almost done. As for anime, my favorites would have to be Code Geass, Clannad and After Story, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

    Favorite Books

    Of course, there's the Lord of the Rings trilogy, plus The Hobbit. I got into those books when I was in grade school, and I've never stopped loving them. They're classics. Same with the Harry Potter series; I started reading them before they got so popular, and even now that I'm older they are...

    Things to Do when You Can't Sleep?

    If you can't sleep, don't be on the computer or watching TV, etc. The bright screens send signals to your brain that it's daytime, and therefore it's harder for you to get to sleep. Also, during the day, try not to sit in bed reading/surfing the internet, or stuff like that. Get in the habit of...
