I don't think you could ever 100% know the answer to that question until you've had your first week. I'm not scared/worried/freaked out, but... you know that feeling you get because you feel like you haven't done enough? That's pretty much the only current issue. -fingers crossed-
How was your first week of post secondary school (if in high school then how was that)?

It was sheer awesomeness. I felt a little lost, but unlike many freshmen, I already knew about the campus map in the back of the day planner. I also felt SO EFFING COOL. That feeling lingers. ;D
Senioritis much?

F%&* Yes. Yet, it hasn't really shows up on my grades and so I'm taking it all in stride (took EASY courses for second semester anyways... TAKE THAT SYSTEM)
How do you deal with stress?

*arches brow* You really need to ask? I write. Threads, short stories, rants, messages, and offline IMs. I research the hell out of things and hunt down pictures. I make signature images for people, and the occasional Photoshopped image just for the fun of it. I read, though most of my books are in storage right now. I have a feeling I could work a blog that got a couple followers, but I've never actually blogged before. I need to write more when I start ranting in OOC...[/minirant]
Same question to v

YES! I have been able to get a rant (well mini-rant) out of you -feels accomplished-
Hmm, I do write and draw and rant and harass the living daylights out of my friend (ok not so much but HEY, they ask and I answer), but I usually I meditate. I've tried it a couple of times about two years ago and it always had a great affect on me. So I'll put my pencil/pen/laptop down, meditate for a good 15 minutes, get up and continue writing/drawing/harassing.
If there was one thing you could say to all those who don't understand the world of RP/fanfiction/writing/drawing/reading etc. what would it be?

*resists the urge to say something snarky* How about... I'm not a loser! YOUR MOM is a loser! heh heh heh...
RP is an easy way to write quick stories. The world is provided, so you've got a starting place and add just the details you want. There's less self-inflicted pressure to add those details. It's a way to relax and be creative in a group setting, however impersonal it might be in some aspects, a way to explore the human psyche and understand things beyond the scope of your personal situation. There are infinite things in life which are better experienced than read about, and this provides safe opportunities for that experience. It's obviously not a replacement for the experience, but hey... where are you going, I'm not done yet! YOUR MOM!
Again, same ? to v

If it was someone who didn't understand and dissed it I would say "I don't feel the need to justify it to you. You wanna have a go at it then fine, wanna look like an ignorant fool and run up your mouth about it, fine. Now instead of looking like an ignorant fool and asking me here's a laptop and here is internet. ENJOY"
If it was someone who just simply didn't get what the hype was then I'd say "If you like to write, read, and experience your own creativity in a literary level. Then give it a try and come talk to me a bit later if you still have questions." I would sound much sweeter here than in the above mentioned one.
Something along those lines.
Have you ever thought back to a response to a question and then immediately formed much effective one a second after the nostalgia? Regrets?

Yeah, I usually come up with the perfect response about three days later. I've found regret on a large scale to be a waste of energy, though without some regret, no one would ever hear an apology and relationships that could have strengthened could be permanently scarred.
Have you ever heard yourself rambling and not really cared as much about what you were saying as you made it sound like, but kept going anyway for the sense of closure you feel at the end of a well-worded rant? ;D

Hahah, yup. On multiple occasions. I usually receive odd looks, but people are generally used to them.
If you're called on to answer a question in class do you a) bullnuts b) admit to not knowing the answer or do you do something else?

If I must b.s., I b.s. The classes I had gave creativity points and points for critical thinking. Therein lies a major difference between high school and college. High school doesn't want thought so much as regurgitation of facts. College (at least in my major) was about being persuasive for your case, whatever your case was.
When/if you b.s., do you try to make it convincing, or just have fun with it?

A combination of both. If I'm being graded then I just have fun with it, at one point I started quoting comic book villains (I remember one of them being from Mister Sinister), and I got bonus credit in my philosophy class just for creativity and using very. When I'm being graded, I make it as convincing as possible and I usually pull it off. Of course who the teacher is sometimes plays a role.
Is there an old show that was canceled (possibly hasn't aired since you were really little) that you would like to see revamped or at least brought back to life?

Tons of them, I'm sure. I can't really think of any, but I'll jump on the nerd train and throw out Seaquest DSV.
Is there an old toy they don't make anymore that you wish they would?

Hm... honestly I just wish they would go back to the old days when stuffed animals didn't talk and dolls weren't little prostitutes. there probably is a toy, but I can't seem to remember it.
When someone asks for a favor and it's something you either don't want to do or can't do, do you tell them straight up, or do you beat around the bush?

It honestly depends on who I'm talking to and what the favor is. If I can't, I tend to just tell them. A lot of people simply will not accept "I don't want to" or even "I'm miserable and I'd rather not socialize today" as excuses.
Have you ever avoided someone just so they couldn't ask you for something?

Nope. I'm not going to for example take a different route to class because of someone, nor am I going to wait till they leave the cafeteria to get food... or whatever the situation is. I'm going to go on with my life and if the person asks me to do/give/help with something, then I'll let them know. I'd rather set the nuisance straight then hide away from it.
Have you ever just had enough with someone and got so irritated that you set them straight, but it may have come out a bit too harsh?
