🏁 press pass with denny hamlin
 
HIIIIIIIIIII EVERYONE! IT'S TIME FOR AAAAAAAAAAAASK ashley MEEEEEEEEGAN.

okay, enough of that nostalgic info. i'm obliged to introduce myself sooooo yeah!

My name is...........well, my online name is Megan. Some PC members that know me personally know my irl name but stick with Megan for now. I'm currently a college student, majoring in Information Technology. I live in a Mexican border town in California...where no one literally knows where it is. I have two sisters, two cats, and two dogs.

The things I like to do on my spare time are reading, writing, surfing da web, making random graphic designs, and cooking. To be quite honest, I spend 90% of my time alone, because well...I kinda prefer it that way. Although I have friends, and I have a social life myself, but I get things done quicker when I'm alone, so that's why I prefer it that way. I also love to garden, and to work out (especially Zumba <3).

PC-wise, I've been here for four years and I don't regret it at all! I mainly joined the forum for rom hacks, and then moved on to fanfiction after my failure as a rom hacker, then moved on to Pokemon Anime where I spent most of my free time there. Then fast forward, I became active in NU/W (waaaay before it was renamed/rebranded as TWL) and a few months later I became a moderator. After I resigned, I moved to a brand new account named Leaf Storm, because I felt I wanted a brand new start, but it was April Fools this year that prompted me to return to this account due to all the memories and the nostagia I felt when I posted around anonymously with this account. Nowadays I either lurk, or post occasionally, but I find myself mostly on PC's battle server, where I'm currently learning how to battle competitively. I may not be the best like no one ever was, but I treat it as something fun.

OH RIGHT, YEAH. I mod Fan Clubs & Groups now, since February 20, 2014. It's fun and it's less stressful so I just simply love it. I'm also a battle server moderator, since May 1. It's a cool place to mod at, albeit stressful, but it gets me going.

Some of the things I like are NASCAR, indycar, baseball, The Walking Dead, My Little Pony, Top Gear, Anime (such as Angel Beats, Sword Art Online, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, etc), Full House (and basically every 90's TV show & cartoon ever created), Pokemon (obviously!), The Hunger Games...and literally more. xD I listen to every music genre out there. Yes, even a bit of Justin Bieber and One Direction. I'm not a fan of both but I have a few songs on my playlist. Country & Rock are my top genres. My all-time favorite arists/bands are Pentatonix, Luke Bryan, Outasight, Foster the People, The Wanted, Dierks Bentley, Carrie Underwood, Marina & The Diamonds, The Script, Nickelback, Bon Jovi, Guns & Roses, Depeche Mode, and KISS. As you can tell, I'm easily into anything, so I can touch/get into any interests you may have. I'm basically open. :D

Umm...so I think that pretty much covers everything about me? I'm imagining myself at a NASCAR press conference right now, you guys are the press and I'm the race car driver who just won the race and is prepared to answer some questions you guys may have. (no really i am denny just ask me anything)

Ask away, guys! I'll answer as many as I can! <3

Do you have a favorite NASCAR driver?
Favorite Full House character?

droomph May 5th, 2013 1:28 PM

If you could rename yourself anything, literally anything, would you still stick with Megan?

Overlord Drakow May 5th, 2013 2:20 PM

If you could drive any vehicle, what would you choose?

Palkia May 5th, 2013 2:24 PM

If you could by any country, which one would you choose not counting the one you live in?

My favorite NASCAR driver? TONY FREAKIN' STEWART. He is like the most badass driver ever and also the most sweetest. He is an amazing team player! Second favorite driver is Martin Truex Jr, who is on my avatar/Sig currently.

My favorite Full House character is Stephanie Tanner. I can relate to her a lot.

Nah, I feel like Megan is my real name even though it's not. I prefer (and will always prefer) Megan than any other.

Somewhere in Europe, probably Italy or England considering that I have friends there. But i might have to go for Italy because I find it easy for me to maneuver, knowing a bit of Italian myself!

Ho-Oh May 10th, 2013 4:13 AM

If you could be born again, as ANYTHING (car, human, person, meganium, a tree idk), what'd it be? Why? What if you had the memories from this life? How would you react knowing you'd never get it back?

derozio May 14th, 2013 11:51 AM

Do you think the hatred Justin Beiber/One Direction receives is unjustified? What are your opinions on it? Do you condemn it?

On that note, do you think anything that becomes popular/mainstream is bound to get hated on for no reason? SAO's popularity went off-charts but along with it came thousands of people on the internet that have nothing but negative things to say about it (and I partially agree with them but that's another matter). Do you dislike it when people criticize something you like? Like SAO, maybe? Do you even like it or have you merely mentioned it since you've seen it? :p

What's the longest anime you've ever seen? Any plans of watching something like One Piece? (okay, I'm sure NO ONE saw this one coming, haha!)

Guess that's all for now. I'll be back to ask moar later :D

Esper May 14th, 2013 12:38 PM

What kinds of things do you like to cook? Anything you like to eat that you can't cook yet? Are you excited about the new Sailor Moon anime?

Hikamaru May 14th, 2013 7:35 PM

What made you get into NASCAR? Cos I know that not many fans of it are girls lol.

What did you enjoy the most about modding The Welcome Lounge?

Treecko May 14th, 2013 7:44 PM

How did you celebrate your 21st birthday? Just wondering since it's my 21st today. :)

Favorite color?

I feel that I should be born again as a human one more time. Even though I might not be aware of the mistakes I've done in this life and may probably do so again in the next life, all I want to be as much successful as what I am now. I know I've done a ton of mistakes in my life and I regret them, yes. There are even mistakes that makes me cry whenever I mention them. I may not be the most perfect person now, and I don't look forward in becoming the most perfect person in my next life, but I do not want to create the same mistakes as a teenage girl ever again.

Guess that's all for now. I'll be back to ask moar later :D

1. Both Justin Bieber and One Direction are great artists/bands. I applaud for their success over the top. But what really repels me from becoming a true fan of them is their fandom in general. They're all so obnxious. They are so careless and they think their whole world revolves around them when it's not. Like...if they make a mistake, they'll riot. For example, the day of the Newtown, Conneticuit shooting of an elementary school. On that same day Justin Bieber was supposed to perform on The Ellen Show, and it was preemptied because of news coverage of the horrific shooting. How did these fans react? They never said "pray for the victims" etc. They said "OH MY GOD I WANNA SEE JUSTIN BIEBER PERFORM NOT THIS STUPID NEWS COVERAGE". I mean, I just wanna punch these fans so badly it makes me want to cry.

The hate these two successful artists receive is certainly unjustified. I mean, look at them. They're both successful because they make great music. Both have musical pasts that led them to where they are now. I'll admit that I was a hater of these two artists back then, and I'm now coming out as a fan myself, not a true-true fan, but just a casual fan who just has a few songs of them on the playlist. I don't find myself going to their concerts either, unless a friend invites me.

2. It actually depends on a certain thing. I mean, that's how I was when I was hating on Justin Bieber and One Direction. That's how I was also when I was hating on My Little Pony and NASCAR. But curiosity seems to be the winner. It's curiosity that brings more fans into the mainstream. It wasn't PC that brought me into SAO or any of the fandoms introduced, it was curiosity. If people don't like what's currently in mainstream, then it's fairly their opinion. I really don't care for that. For that, there's a simple answer: If you don't like it, don't look at it.

3. I guess the longest anime I've watched was Fullmetal Alchemist. I watched both the original, and Brotherhood series. I'm still watching Bleach but I'm waaaaaaaay behind lmao.

1. I'm more of a dessert person. I love baking cakes, cupcakes, muffins, and cookies. My favorite dessert is the Choco Flan, which is a Mexican dessert that has chocolate cake on top, flan on the bottom. My grandmother passed on that recipe down to me and today everyone prefers my style of Choco Flan and every family gathering has got to have one. xD I'll have to thank my aunt, who is a professional cake baker, for passing on her traits to me. :3

2. I'm very curious of making certain chinese food dishes, like Pineapple Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken, and Lemon Pepper Calamari (sp?). Those look pretty difficult to make, but I'm willing to take on the challenge. ;3

3. YES I AM SO EXCITED FOR IT. OMG. I'VE BEEN WATING YEARS FOR IT.

1. I watched my first race in 2010, I don't remember which track, but Tony Stewart won the race, and I didn't watch another until mid-2012 when PC member Sector Revenge was getting ready to watch the Pocono race, and he was talking NASCAR non stop. By curiosity, I decided to watch the race as well. In that race, Joey Logano won, and week by week, I started watching races as well, and it was a subject me and Sector started talking about throughout the season. Race after race, my interest in NASCAR was solidified, and I look forward in attending my first race in Fontana next year. :)

2. I wanted to say the making of the emblems, but it's actually the open availability. I kept a promise to myself that I would help as many new members as I could while I was a moderator, and hoping that each member would have a wonderful time in their first few days on the forums. I felt bad for leaving someone out, so I always PM or VM them, or simply reply to their thread saying I'm there for you if you need help, and I just want them to feel okay. That's my favorite thing.

What are your favorite MLPFIM character as well as least favorite?

If you were stuck inside Aincrad, what weapon would you wield? What trade skills would you try to learn?

What pokémon games do you own / have you played? Do you still play?

1. I was jumping between two ponies, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity. But I stayed with Rarity because of her element of generosity. Least favorite would have to be Applejack.

2. oooo, an SAO question. <3 If I was stuck in Aincrad, I would have two daggers on each side of my waist. Totally not referring to my SAO: Infinity RP character I had in the past. :3

3. I have Silver, Soulsilver, and White. I used to have Red but I lost it when I was moving back then. Silver seems to be in very good shape, actually! Hopefully it stays that way. :)

Treecko June 3rd, 2013 9:47 PM

I'm guessing since green's your favorite color, then you love the new color for supporters then?

What other Pokemon games do you plan on getting in the future? Like are you gonna get X and Y?

WELL OF COURSE! I simply adore the color. I wasn't around when the h-staff introduced the proposition to change the supporter color (because I was on my 40-day absence due to Lent) but it was certainly the best choice possible and it definitely stands out.

I want to get Platinum because I want to become more familiar with the 4th generation. 4th generation is the only generation whom I am not accustomed to and there's still Pokémon out there whom I'm thinking like "IS THAT A NEW POKEMON OR WHAT? OH IT'S FROM 4TH GEN. DANG. :(" I want to get Black for trading purposes, White 2, and I am looking forward to getting Pokémon X...that is, if I get a 3DS as well.

A few weeks after I resigned I did felt some regret in me, because at that point Cirny was having a bit of trouble. But at the same time I felt it was the right thing for me to do, because of the schoolwork that was piling up right next to me. As I'm seeing how TWL is shaped up now, I'm actually proud. Both Cirny and Cid (back when he modded for a few months) did a fantastic job making the place so much friendlier than ever.

Yes. A thousand times yes. All I was asking when using that account was a fresh start and hopefully I'd be treated the same way I was treated on this account. But I felt that I was viewed differently, like I'm not the same person anymore. Returning to who I am now finally cleared a few clouds, and that is a lesson learned on my part.

omg there's a list of regrets I'd love to post but there's actually one that happened just recently. Losing a best friend. Due to my anxiety I stopped talking to him because I thought he was mad. As I felt better, he refused to respond to everything. So now we're literally going nowhere. If I wasn't so anxious things would have been better. But now I just feel extremely heartbroken and sick and I just call myself an evil friend.

Meganium June 14th, 2013 8:49 AM

I....guess imma go ahead and bump this?

It's been past five days, so yeah! Open for any questions! :)

oh i love them! This song is my all-time favorite from them <3 I just absolutely love the guitar part in between verses. :3

Overall yes! I listen to them most of the time and they are part of my favorite bands. :D

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting that at all for some reason haha :D as you can probably see I love them too. Heart in a Cage is a pretty good song, though this is probably my favourite out of all them. But to be honest I love all of their albums so far. Maybe not Angles; too many ups and downs. But enough about them aha

If you were given a choice to go back in time and change something in your life and restart your life from that point, would you do it? Why if yes?

Freshman year in high school, because it was the time that I went from good-grade student with a bright future to bad-to-the-bone student who got in trouble a lot, fought a lot, ran away a lot, and hung out with the wrong crowd. I really want to take back what I've done in high school and do it all over again. I would have a brighter future if I didn't do all those bad things. :(

Sector June 17th, 2013 9:42 AM

You answered the first race you watched Tony won at in 2010, it would be either at Atlanta or Fontana, in that order. I would guess Fontana since its your hometrack? lol Besides the reason of your first ever race, there has to be another reason why you like Tony Stewart so much? How about a favorite Tony Stewart commercial? & I noticed you've been taking a liking in Martin Truex Jr, why is that?

Why do you go by your "Megan" name rather than your real name?

How does it feel to live close to Mexico?

Do you have any role models/idols?

What is your top 3 favorite songs by the best singer ever, Carrie Underwood? :)

1. It was Fontana iirc, probably the last race Fontana had in the fall? Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

I love Tony Stewart because he's a guy who's never afraid to step up and speak his opinion about anything. Sure, his comments could be witty, stupid, silly, or borderline offensive to some haters out there, but he knows his stuff. He knows how to defend. During this year's Talladega race when Denny Hamlin returned to race after his time off due to his injury, he stood up and said "I'll protect you buddy" and started in the rear with him. Those are the reasons why I absolutely love Tony Stewart.

How I took a liking for Martin Truex Jr is not only because he's the most adorable driver out there, but his "I won't give up" attitude is the reason why. I'm sad that he's been in Cup races for so long and he only manages to win one race of his career. This year he kept getting top 10, sometimes top 5 wins, and even finished 2nd in Texas this year. I mean, I believe in Truex. I know someday...hopefully this year he'll get another win, whether it'd be in Dover again, or another track he may be good in.

My favorite Tony Stewart Commercial is this one.

2. This is an old reason, but back then when Anastasia.R was a mod for A&D, it felt like when people call Ana, I always think it was me that they're calling. But it was Anastasia that they were calling. But the primary reason why is that at that point my ex-boyfriend, after breaking up with him for almost a year, kept searching for me online everywhere. He looked up my name on google just to see if I made an account somewhere. So, I realized that an online alias would help me protect myself from him. So, days after the creation of this account, I went by the name Megan because Megan = Meganium. Afterwards, it stayed, and I now want that name to be my real name. By now, my ex may have given up searching for me.

3. Would Tim Tebow count as a role model? Yes. He is a role model for me. Being a religious person myself, Tim never forgets to bring his faith everywhere he goes, even during a football game. People put him down because of it, but I know he won't give up. :)

4. It's...ugh. I mean, it's awesome for tourists, but it gets boring after a while when you live 5+ years. Unless you live in San Diego that's a whole 'nother ball game. But here in the valley? Ay dios mio I tell people to gtfo because there is nothing to do here.

5. Good Girl is my top song. Then there's Before He Cheats, and So Small. :)
