Greetings, people of the Internet. Because my birthday was recently, I thought it would be appropriate to write a "random facts about me" article. But instead of 20 facts like the previous articles, this one gets 50! Because why not! Also, pictures! Because why not!
So here you go: 50 random facts about me that literally no one asked for.
1. I always keep my phone completely silent, and only turn the sound on when I want to watch a video or when I play certain games.
2. I once slept for 36 hours and probably would have slept longer if my grandma hadn't forced me to get up.
3. I didn't cry when I was born. Not only that, but apparently it took a long time for the doctors to get me to wake up.
4. I can't dance to save my life, but I really want to learn.
5. The first anime I ever watched was Yumekui Merry, but the one that really got me into anime was Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.
6. I have been playing World of Warcraft since around 2006.
7. The first character I ever made in World of Warcraft was a gnome Warlock named Corandy. I still have that character today; she is level 101 at the time of writing this.
8. I have played the piano for most of my life, but have only recently started taking lessons. (I was self-taught before then.)
9. Caffeine actually has the opposite effect on me. I get even more tired rather than becoming more energetic.
10. I am very pale. Like, so pale that some parts of my skin are practically translucent.
11. My favorite character to cosplay is L from Death Note.
12. Some characters I am currently cosplanning are Lucifer from Hataraku Maou-sama!, Kousei Arima from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, and Chat Noir from Miraculous.
13. I have misophonia.
14. When I was younger I used to drink Sunkist all the time. And because I drank it so much and so often, I ended up getting so sick of it that I haven't even touched a can of it to this day.
15. I once bought a shirt from this really expensive designer brand without even realizing it was from said brand. I didn't notice until two years later when I cut the tag off because it was bothering me.
16. My favorite characters in Mystic Messenger are Yoosung and 707.
17. Mystic Messenger once opened by itself on my phone. I was convinced that 707 must have hacked it.
18. I really enjoy making databases and lists.
19. I am most definitely a crazy cat lady.
20. Ciel Phantomhive is the anime character I have the most figures of. I have 5 different figures of him.
21. The first high quality anime figure I ever bought was of Asuna from Sword Art Online, which I bought at a convention in 2015.
22. Both my first Nendoroid and my first Figma were of Levi Ackerman.
23. The most expensive figure I own is a Figma of the TV version of Black Rock Shooter, which was around $150.
24. I am aromantic/asexual.
25. I have never seen the first episode of Spongebob.
26. I believe that what happens to you when you die depends on what you believe. If you don't believe in anything, you believe multiple things, or aren't sure, then you get a choice.
27. The main reason I believe there has to be something after death is because I just can't imagine suddenly not existing anymore. Like, what happens when your consciousness disappears? There can't just be nothing. It just doesn't make sense to me, so that's why I believe there is something after death.
28. I am practically nocturnal. Every time I try to have a normal sleep schedule, it ends up lasting a few days, and then it's back to being awake all night and asleep most of the day.
29. I am really interested in fashion and designing outfits. I've had this interest for most of my life, but it only recently dawned on me that it was something I really had a passion for.
30. Being more specific, I can't design articles of clothing to save my life, but I can put together an outfit based on stuff that already exists.
31. I absolutely love Italian food. Basically, if it's something that would be served at Olive Garden, I love it.
32. I take great pleasure in owning expensive and/or rare things.
33. My favorite title in World of Warcraft is "[Name], Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent and Disappointing Minions." Unfortunately, it's a temporary title so you can only keep it for 30 minutes (in real time). Oh how I wish it was a permanent one!
34. My favorite flying mount that I own in World of Warcraft is Yu'lei, Daughter of Jade. My favorite ground mount I own is the Blue Shado-Pan Riding Tiger.
35. The only reason I am planning to cosplay Chat Noir is because my best friend wants me to be the Chat Noir to her Ladybug. She's completely obsessed with Miraculous Ladybug; meanwhile I've tried to watch it multiple times but I just couldn't bring myself to like it. But I'm willing to cosplay him to make her happy.
36. I actually really like spiders. As long as they're not crawling on me, anyway.
37. My ultimate holy grail anime figure is an extremely limited edition figure of Light from Death Note. Only like 500 of them were ever made, so even if you do somehow manage to find one for sale, it's insanely expensive. I doubt I'll ever actually get this figure, but omg it is so beautiful.
38. I think most modern pop songs sound absolutely terrible. Once in a while I do stumble upon a gem, but it's pretty rare.
39. My favorite song to play on the piano is either "Kisetsu wa Tsugitsugi Shindeiku" from Tokyo Ghoul or "The Girl Who Fell From the Sky" from Castle in the Sky.
40. I really enjoy creating characters and writing about them. Over the past few years I've made so many that I can't even remember all of them. Some of my favorites that I've created are Haruki Akiyama, Hideki Nakao, Ryuu, Akane, and Hope.
41. Over the course of my life, I have owned 9 cats.
42. The first concert I ever went to was a Green Day concert last August. It was definitely the best thing I've ever done.
43. I haven't cared about my gender identity for years. I really don't care what gender people think of me as, and I don't care about pronouns either. Basically whatever you think of me of is fine with me. That's part of the reason I've started going by Akira -- it's a unisex name.
44. I really love the rain. I live in a desert too, so that makes the few times a year it does rain all the more special.
45. While I don't consider myself to be that great at drawing, I love redrawing things I drew in the past to see how much I've improved. I think my favorite redraws I've done are these:
46.My favorite color is red.
47. As I've probably said before, I'm terrible at picking favorites. But I think I have finally decided what my favorite anime is:
48. I used to make YouTube videos. I want to start again but I just don't have the motivation to make anything. Some of my old videos are on this club, actually, so if you don't mind cringing yourself into another dimension, go check them out!
49. There's so many things I want to do and be successful at, but I have a huge problem with motivation. It seems like no matter how badly I want to do something, I just can't seem to motivate myself enough to actually do said thing. I really don't known why, but I don't like it, and I think I could really do great things if I wasn't this way.
50. It took me two months to write this article because I'm so lazy.
And we're done! 50 facts and 20 pictures that literally no one asked for! I was going to include a picture for every fact but it wouldn't let me upload more than 20 ;-;
Let me know if you'd like to see more of these! Or better yet, tell me what kinds of articles you'd like to see me post because I have no ideas XD
