Cynthia Ahmar

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
I'm not gonna tell you which one, but it's that of one of my VISAs.

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Not that I consider it a romantic dinner or anything, but last time I had lunch (rather than dinner) with a guy was at a McDonald's.

3. Do you regret losing your virginity to who you lost it to?
I've never lost it.

4. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
Only one? Well, I guess I wouldn't have fallen in love young.

5. Name of your first grade teacher?
Claire. She was one of two Claires that taught in the first grade (the best, in my opinion), but I can't remember either of their last names.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Rewatching .hack//SIGN, and especially the .hack//Unison episode. I'm on the second .hack game right now and it makes me desire SIGN so badly.

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Veterinarian til my late teens, when I realized how much grossness it could involve; lawyer since then, because of the very interesting TV dramas I saw that had lawyers in them.

8. How many colleges did you attend?
Three, long story, don't feel like sharing the details.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
Turtleneck, since the temperature was in the negative Celcius degrees and I easily get cold at the office.

10. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
Ridiculous. People should just use hybrids.

11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you where would it be?
Japan, and I have no idea. There's no one I care about enough to want to live with them.

12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
Five more minutes, must turn off.

13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
I finally beat .hack//Mutation, so I was mostly thinking about what I had left to do to unlock all of the pictures, BGMs and videos. I mostly want to unlock those memory scenes from the .hack//SIGN anime. They're scenes that took place in the anime, but in those memory scenes, they're animated in the style of the games. It was already very interesting to meet Mimiru (character from SIGN) in a dungeon near the end of the game. The scene was slightly reminiscent of her first meeting with Tsukasa, with some of the lines being identical.

14. Favorite style of underwear?
Anything that doesn't involve a tiny line between my buttocks. Those sound painful and damn uncomfortable.

15. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
Maybe two or three times a week at an old folks' home. They're really some of the most interesting people to talk to when they don't go into lecture mode.

16. If you could choose one friend to take to Vegas with you for the weekend.
I don't really have any friends...

17. What is your favorite drink?
Pepsi, hands down. I also like strawberry milk a lot.

18. Get up early or sleep in?
Definitely sleep in. As I always say, morning just wasn't made for work. Least of all when the sun isn't even fully up outside. How depressing is that, anyway, to go to work while it's still semi-dark outside? Plus I'm more of a nocturnal person. I can't very well fall asleep before at least midnight or 1am.

19. What is your favorite cartoon character?
If we're talking about American cartoons, Captain Planet, hands down.
If we're talking about manga/anime, Sumeragi Subaru of Tokyo Babylon. Close seconds are Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man, Kamui Shirou from X, Kira Yamato from Gundam Seed, both Tsukasa and Elk from the .hack series, Andromeda Shun from Saint Seiya and Takaba Akihito from the Viewfinder yaoi series.

20. Favorite thing to do at night with the opposite sex?
Watch anime with some good food.

21. Have you found real love yet?
I thought I did, but it didn't mean anything to the other person. Plus it was young love, so maybe it doesn't count, but I still can't forget about it.

22. When did you first start feeling old?
24, the age when my mother got married.

23. Favorite 80's movie(s):
Does the Disney animated movie The Black Cauldron count?

24. Your favorite lunch meat?
Chicken, hands down. Chicken breasts are ok but very dry, so I prefer the thighs and wings.

25. What do you get every time you go into Costco/Walmart?
I don't go there often, but if I do, Head&Shoulders shampoo and some juices.

26. Beach or Lake?
Not that the beach isn't beautiful or anything, but a lake is so much more picturesque. Not to mention calmer.

27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Marriage is something that people these days take too lightly. I could go on and on about the link I see there between the feminism movement and broken marriages. It just seems like there are a lot more sluts than, say, a century ago. Not to mention women who are vulgar in both their speech and attitude. It's rather disgusting really. And btw, speaking of outdated things... if you're a woman and you have an argument with a man you're living and sleeping with, don't just assume that he'll be the one to take the couch that night. If I were a man and I paid the bills of the house, I'd make you sleep outside in the cold if you dared to demand that I sleep on the couch. If you're going to be a bitch about some stupid argument, then take the damn couch yourself.

28. Do you own property?
Nope.

29. Favorite guilty pleasure?
Yaoi manga.

30. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
It's more the opposite: I want to show everything that I love to everyone I meet.

31. What's your favorite perfume?
Right now, Voile d'Ambre by Yves Rocher. Deliciously spicy smelling perfume. It helps that it has jasmine, as almost all of my favorite fragrances have at least a touch of jasmine. A close second would probably be Yria by the same company.

32. Cowboys or Indians?
Cowboys are hot. *grins*

33. Cops or Robbers?
Cops aren't so hot, but I never did like the bad guys.

34. Who from high school would you like to run in to?
From high school, not much of anyone. Well, maybe Agnes. We weren't friends or anything, but she was a nice, smart girl. But from grade school, I would say Valerie, Marie-Christine and Madeleine.

35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
LiteRock Q92, 92.5 FM, and I totally recommend it. Rock beats all the pop, rap and R&B crap you hear about people's butts (*cough*Beyonce*cough*), violence or their crappy lives, these days.

37. 'The Cosby Show' or 'The Simpsons'?
I don't particularly like either, so I'll say The Cosby Show. The animation style of The Simpsons annoys me to no end.

38. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?
It's like I said above: I never would have fallen in love young.

39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
Well, it's my father, so yes.

40. What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
Eric McCormack. For one thing, he's not one of the Hollywood whores, and he seems like a very nice, funny and intelligent guy.

41. Indoors or Outdoors?
Ideally, outdoors; realistically, indoors.

42. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
Yes, but it was never anything serious or life-threatening.

43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its actual purpose?
Nope.

44. Last book you read for real?
Book 11 of The Wheel of Time, titled Knife of Dreams, probably. But if scanlations count, then Death Note volume 7.

46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
Public restroom. It just feels weird, ok?

47. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
Maybe Hollywood, just for the hell of it? Otherwise, nothing comes to mind.

48. Do you go to church?
Only on occasions like Easter, and only because it makes my family happy. I hate church.

49. At this point in your life, would you start a new career?
Right now, no. A few years from now, maybe. I just don't have any motivation. *sighs*

50. How old are you?
28
