Lots of Tags!

So I've been tagged four times! Wow! Given, three of these are tag-backs, haha cx But still, that's a lot! I'm going to do them all. Well, at least three. The fourth one will have to be separate because it takes a lot of room. c:

First up: ouo

1) If you could ban anyone thing from your country, what would it be?

Oh, gosh...Hm, let's see...I'm going to have to go with candy corn. That stuff freaks me out. I don't play that game. Mm. -3-

2) What is your happiest memory and why?

Wow! I don't know. There's a shit ton to choose from. I should just let you into my brain. c: No, not really, that probs be a disaster cx but, one of my favorite memories is way back when I was in fourth grade, and my sister was in sixth. I had, like, just been diagnosed with absence seizures. I don't think I fully understood the effect this would have on me, because I just kind of shrugged it off then. But I kept having to go in for tests and they put me all sorts of medicines with all sorts of risks and funny and terrible side effects (like one turned me into what my family seems to think Satan would be if s/he were a 9 year old girl) and it wasn't very fun, as you can imagine. So, one time when I went in for an EEG, my sister went with me. And if you've ever had an EEG you know they take a little bit to get all hooked up and situated (especially the ambulatory ones, which this one was), so the person hooking me up was just making conversation and asked my sister, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and she said, "Oh, well, I want to be a pediatric neurologist. So I can fix my sister and make sure she's a-ok to drive cars and so she doesn't have to take all this medicine and get poked with needles all the time. I don't know if she's told you, but she hates needles."

And you know what? 
That girl is on her way to pre-med school right now.

3) If you met someone from online in real life, how would you greet them and why?

Well, it'd depend on the person. I guess generally all you internet people are weird though, so it'd be a really extravagant greeting. c:
 
4) OTP?    ....NOTP? 

e.e My OTP might be PruHun (Hetalia) or Shizaya (Durarara!!). My NOTP is like, any incest basically. PrussiaxGermany, ItalyxRomano, etc. Yeah..No. Like, sorry. I don't play like that. Also, I don't do UsUk (Hetalia). Because I count them as father/son. And that's gross.

5) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change and why?

Probably better skin. My skin's not terrible...it's just...I like soft skin, and my skin is average, even if I use lotion religiously. 
Or I might make myself taller. I'm around 5'4", so I suppose it's a good height for my age (above average according to official charts, but I think those are bullshit), and I don't want to tower over everyone...Just maybe like an inch or two? Or maybe not. I love heels, so I guess I could just stick with those.
I might make myself skinnier, I guess. I'm overweight (according to the charts), but it doesn't look it (not to sound conceited). 

I'm pretty average in all aspects, except for my hair and eyes. So I'd really change anything. I'm honestly a very shallow person when it comes to, like, self-beauty. I care far too much about it. 

6) What's your ideal/dream house? Location? Design? Paint job? Inside paint job? Style? Layout?

It'd be somewhere in Maine, maybe..Or France..Maybe Etretat? But I feel like that's more tourist-y than a living place. I don't know, I've never been to France so I can't say. I love Maine with a passion, though. Design would be a huge manor! Not because I need it or anything, but because I want it to be like a maze! With lots of hidden passages, false stairwells, trap doors, and secret tunnels! I want to be able to maneuver my way through the whole house without anyone knowing. Outside paintjob would be blue/purple pastels, white and black. More black than white, though. On the inside, I might have themed rooms...I don't know. Not, like, cheesy themes like 'disney' or anything, but I mean like, each room has it's own very separate paint job. Like, the library might have black, red, and velvet while the music room might have be bright, yellow and have an open feel to it.

Okay. I'm going to own up to this. I want my house to be like the Biltmore Estate. ^{Only with a plethora of trap doors and secret passages!}

You can't blame me, though. First off, if you knew me in real life it'd make more sense. Secondly, have you seen the library? 

7) Why did you start a DeviantArt account?

I started this one to put all fanfiction and stuff on so I didn't have to do it on my other one. I started my other one because I'd been browsing around DA for a while (for various things, fanfic included) and decided, hey, why not post what I have?

8) If you could start a band, who would be in it and what genre would you be? 

We'd probably be a pop/alternative band. And there'd be some awesomely talented people in it, that's who'd be in it. cx No, but really, uhm.. I really don't have anyone specific in mind. So I'ma just go with some cute foreign boys. 

9) Art style? (i.e. music, drawing or painting, computer art, dance)

Digital art. c: I guess it's considered photo manipulation in some (it's usually something like the client specifies something like, "I want angel wings on [insert celebrity here] on the cover" when it turns into a sorta case of photo manip) cases, but basically what happens is I take a ton of pictures and layer/cut/blend/etc. them in pscs2 until it looks pretty. 

10) If you could change your name, what would you change it to? Or would you keep it the same?

You know, I have four names in total. Four official names that are on my birth certificate--not like nicknames or one's I made up. I'm not going to share them, obviously, but I have them. All four of them are pretty common names. I've met a lot of Mia's (this is a nickname) and a lot of Amelia's (the name which the nickname came from), but I don't think I'd change my name. At least not now. c:

Number Two! Tagged (back) by ^.^

1. Where did you get the idea for your username from?

Lost words! I love words, so I was doodlin' around on the internet once upon a time, as per usual, and I stumbled upon a site that had a whole dictionary of English's 'lost words', or words that had basically gone extinct. Most of these words were 'lost' in the 1400s or 1600s. I thought it was so cool, so I decided to make some of them my usernames. This was a while back, and at first I used acrasial for everything (still do). Acrasial means 'ill-tempered'. c: Then, one time that username was taken, so I came up with affictitious-eternitarian. I liked how it sounded. Affictitious means feigned, fake, or counterfeit and an eternitarian is one who believes in the eternity of the soul. 

^{Sorry, you probably don't want to know about my other usernames. Moving onto THIS one.}

Acrasial was taken, and I didn't want to use affictitious-eternitarian because I felt like it was too long, people wouldn't remember it, and I guess I just didn't feel like it gave the right mood then. Exlineal is another lost word. It means 'to be out of the direct line of descent'. I guess I thought 'exlineal-kings' had darker undertones and gave a sort of story. 

^{i actually started a whole website with this name on some forum but then gave up and idk what happened to it. it was really cool. might go back to it someday.}

2. Favorite genre(s)?

Tragedy; Poetry (more so short story/poetry hybrid); Humor; Fantasy. 

3. If you could dye your hair ANY color(s), what would it/they be? (By they I mean like multiple colors at once)

Recently, I dyed my hair an ombre blue-green and that was really cool. But my hair is dark brown, so they had to bleach it and now the ends are blonde. It's still very pretty, imo. But if I were to put another color in it, I think I'd like to try purple. c: 

4. Favorite kind of ice cream?

^{STRAWBERRY SHERBET FTW}

I mean, like, it's perf. It's like, a serving of fruit, but also loaded with sugar so you don't have to worry about accidentally being healthy! ^.^

5. If you had a Time Machine, what time period would you travel to?

Oh...I don't think I'd go too far back. Maybe the 20s (1920s, of course). c: A lot happened then and hell, they don't call 'em the swingin' 20s for nothing! ^.^

6. If you could have ONE fictional character live with you for the rest of your life, who would it be and why?

I don't know...I would say Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!) because ^{he's so handsome and he's an info broker who can use a switchblade like wow yes please} I think it'd be interesting to live with...uh...someone such as himself, but I feel like he'd just endanger my life the whole time and be a huge dick. ^{I love him with all my heart though.} 

7. Are you a Night Owl or an Early Bird?

Definitely a night owl. My sleep schedule is fucked. I've been forcing myself to go to sleep super early because of school starting so soon, but all summer it's been like,

10:00 P.M.: Oh cool. Only ten.

12:00 A.M.: Hm..It's the next day. Maybe I should go to sleep? No, I'll go to sleep at 12:30.

4:00 A.M.: Fuck.

And then of course, I have to wake up at 5 A.M. to work out, finish around 6, go back to sleep 'till probably around 7-8 then drag my ass out of bed and shower. 

^{it's a struggle that i bring upon myself} *cries*

8. Do you like symmetry?

I like objects to be symmetrical, but their placement doesn't have to be. In fact, it bugs me if everything is perfectly symmetrical. I need a mix of things. I am about 85% certain I'd literally explode if I didn't have a mix of things.

9. If you constantly smelled like one scent for the rest of your life, what scent would you want it to be? (Yay, no stinky armpits!)

^{yay! ouo}

Something fresh, fruity...Maybe coconut, or guava? Or, if someone could capture the smell of Maui in a little bottle, I'd like that. c:

10. Hot chocolate in the Summer, or ice cream in the Winter?

Ice cream in the Winter, definitely. Summer's already hot enough, thank you very much. -3-

Three! <sup>THAT SKIN YOU USED IS SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE WOW HOW DID YOU DO THAT MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER I LOVE IT AND I LOVE YOU AND I CAN'T GET OVER IT WOW

AND YOU'RE READING THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE THAT IS SUCH A FANTASTIC BOOK I AM SO IN LOVE WITH NEIL GAIMAN, IN FACT I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT SAID YOU WERE READING THAT AND I WAS GONNA PULL MY FAVORITE QUOTE FROM THAT BOOK YOU ARE SO COOL</sup>

1. What is your absolute favourite quote and why?

“I have dreamed of that song, of the strange words to that simple rhyme-song, and on several occasions I have understood what she was saying, in my dreams. In those dreams I spoke that language too, the first language, and I had dominion over the nature of all that was real. In my dream, it was the tongue of what is, and anything spoken in it becomes real, because nothing said in that language can be a lie. It is the most basic building brick og everything. In my dreams I have used that language to heal the sick and to fly; once I dreamed I kept a perfect little bed-and-breakfast by the seaside, and to everyone who came to stay with me I would say, in that tongue, 'Be whole.' and they would become whole, not be broken people , not any longer, because I had spoken the language of shaping.” 
--Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

I'm not actually sure why this is my favorite quote. I think maybe it's because I want to hear a language like this--a language that is the first language, one that has that power. Not even necessarily that magic, healing power in the quote, but one that makes you dream of it. But like I said, I'm not sure. It could just be because I like the sound of these words, I may not even need to hear this language. I have no idea what I want. 
The reason I like this quote is just a simple because.

2. If you could click your fingers and suddenly know one other language, what would it be?

Probably Russian. I find Russian a very beautiful language, though I just know it'd be hard for me to learn it. So if I could just know it, that'd be fantastic. Maybe Portuguese, though, so I could understand my step-mom and speak with the rest of her family. Portuguese is another one I have a hard time with, I can write it easily, because it's similar to French (and Spanish, but I've found more so French in spelling), but the pronunciation is so difficult! It's very pretty, I just can't do it.

3. If you had unlimited money and could start a new life anywhere in the world, what town/city would you want to be in?

Maybe somewhere in Norway or Iceland. Not a big city, but a medium one or a smaller one. I don't know exactly where. I know, my answers are all 'maybe'. I'm sorry. ;n; I've never actually been to Europe, so I don't know how well I'd fare there, but judging from what I know from books and pictures and all that, Norway, Iceland, France, Italy, or perhaps the coast of Croatia--like, Dubrovnik. Of course, then I'd correspond my wish for a language up there with down here. c:

4. Student exchanges - Yay or Nay? Do you like the idea? Where would you go?

Yay! Definitely! France, most likely. Mainly because I'm in French. Though I'd love to go everywhere. OuO Russia, France, Croatia, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland--France is my top choice, Russia and Italy second, the Netherlands third...I don't know. ;-; This is hard.. If I can't go off North America, though, might just head up to Quebec. c: I like Quebec. 

5. If you aren't from Australia what is the first "Australian slang" word you think of?? If you are from Australia what is the first word that comes to mind when you think of a random other country?

Mate! Do you say that? Like, you personally?^{If you actually read this, you should def share some of the ones you think of when you think of America. cx
wait, sorry, I'm supposed to be answering the questions, not asking them}

6. Favourite book or any that you would recommend to me? I have this huge reading list but I'm constantly searching for more! I really need to write the list down though... 

Well, you're reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane. OuO I'd definitely recommend Neverwhere, Anansi Boys, and Smoke and Mirrors--all by Neil Gaiman. I don't know how much you've read by him, but those are really good reads. Identical and Crank (this is actually a trilogy; it's followed by Glass then Fallout) by Ellen Hopkins are amazing--though they're novels written in verse. 

7. Where have you been that has blown your mind?

Maui, Hawaii is breathtaking. Went up to the top of Mt. Haleakala to watch the sunrise--I have not seen a more beautiful sight. Some of my best memories are up there. My family used to go every two years because my grandmother was born there and she missed it and wanted to visit family. We went when I was 2, 4, 6 and 8, then money got tight and we didn't go again until I was 13.

Another place is Asakusa, Japan. It was a huge culture shock, but the Senso-ji Temple is really amazing, and to get to it you get to walk down Shin-Naka, or the Shin-Nakamise shopping street, which is basically this long street filled with tons and tons of tiny vendor-like shops in a sort of open-air market (guess that's not the right term, but it was that style). It was really cool. OuO

8. Do you know an anime series that is really good? I have a big list, but I don't know where to start.

Mirai Nikki (Future Diary in English, but the eng dub is terrible), Durarara!!, HunterxHunter (not sexual, I swear cx), DRAMAtical Murder (it's a new anime, only 3 or 4 episodes out, I think), and Sword Art Online are all really good. ^.^ I recommend Durarara!! the most though, I'm watching it now and it's fantastic. OuO

9. If you could give a charity 1,000,000 dollars (AUD) - I'm not sure how much that converts to in different currencies, which charity would it be? Or would you start your own?

I think I'd start my own, focused on epilepsy and getting money for kids who need procedures on their brains (this part would cover all procedures, not just epilepsy-related, of course there'd be details that would need to be worked out and stuff, but that's the overview). Like, been there, done that, it ain't fun.

Tagging...

No one! Anyone who wants to do it, please do! I'm out of people to tag. And I don't want to just keep tagging the same people, haha. cx I'm sure they'd get tired of me. ^.^"
