What is your favorite part of being a moderator?
Honestly, my regulars, especially in challenges. They are all so amazing and wonderful and supportive and AH. Just recently I gave them all a shoutout in the User Appreciation Thread, so you could go see me gush in that post if you'd like haha. As for my other forums, they're all things I enjoy. I love Pokemon games in general, so there's the catch all with PGC. Adv Gen is my favorite gen...no brainer. Who DOESN'T like gen I and II?! And then...there's...spin offs...yeeeah. Anyway, I also like helping out the community as well, and discussing things that may change on the forum. And blue. I really like blue. To add to that other question about being an smod one day, the hardest thing about that would be becoming orange. I just really like blue. It matches a lot of things. And it's blue. I just woke up btw...thought I should mention.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
I am a cookies n creme kind of gal. ...That also applies to cakes, cheesecakes, puddings, frostings, almost anything. It has an Oreo? I want it.

What if I told you my party would be reasonably sized so like around ~10 people, would consider attending?

What one Pokemon challenge would you recommend to someone?

Maybe. Because of my job, I have to learn to get used to big groups, so 10 isn't really too much of a problem for me anymore. Though it will take me a bit to feel comfortable enough to actually speak out and such, haha.

What one Pokemon challenge would you recommend to someone?
Random. Always the random. The thrill of not knowing what the hell your team will end up like is fun and you end up using things you might have never thought to choose and you get a new favorite out of it.

How do you go about randomizing the Pokemon for the random challenge?

You ever been to an anime convention before? If you could choose to cosplay as anything, what would it be?

There's a randomizer linked in the challenge, and you could just google it. It'll show up. :) It's actually quite fun to just play with and see what you get even if you're not gonna play one, haha. But when you sign up in the challenge here, someone will use that randomizer and post what it gave you. :)

You ever been to an anime convention before? If you could choose to cosplay as anything, what would it be?
I have not, but the few times it was a possibility, I thought about cosplaying as Petilil. If that doesn't go through, I can cosplay as Ness. I have the hat and shirt and a Courage Badge. :)

What are some of you favourite YGO and Pokémon cards?
Since I was never big into YGO cards, that's easy. Dark Magician Girl. As for Pokemon cards uhhhh. I don't think I could ever pick an absolute favorite card, but my favorite set is Neo Destiny. :) If I had to pick a favorite card, I'll go with Neo Discovery Umbreon. The Holo Rare one, not the regular rare. My first Umbreon card. <3 Still have it. I also really like Expedition Butterfree, Neo Genesis Bellossom, Jungle Eevee, Neo Destiny Shining Celebi, Unleashed Xatu, and Darkrai Cresselia Legend (idk the set though).

If you had ~ two minutes for the entire world to listen to you, what would you say - assuming you don't faint on the spot, bite your tongue etc etc.

What gaming consoles do you have?

How long have you been collecting Pokemon cards for and how long you been into YGO for? Do you have any fully complete Poke TCG sets / which sets have you collected the most from? You should also start shipping over the competitive cards you pull :p

Nothing, as I would have already fainted regardless. Kidding. I would tell the world they need more love. Cliche? Probably. But I'm tired of the hate in the world. I feel like John Lennon now.

What gaming consoles do you have?
I have all Nintendo home consoles except for the SNES (but my grandmother has one and I grew up with it) and the Wii U. I'll fix that problem, of course! I have all Nintendo handhelds as well, except for the GameBoy Pocket, Micro, and DSi. And I don't have a Virtual Boy either, if you count that as handheld since it was marketed that way, and as much as I like to collect Nintendo handhelds, I will gladly skip the VB. And I also have a PS2 and Xbox 360. :)

How long have you been collecting Pokemon cards for and how long you been into YGO for? Do you have any fully complete Poke TCG sets / which sets have you collected the most from? You should also start shipping over the competitive cards you pull :p
I've been collecting on and off since I was about...5 or 6 I believe? I have no complete sets sadly, but my ultimate goal is to have a complete Neo Destiny set someday, whether by pulling it all or buying it. I don't care how I get it, but I will get it one day. :) I am currently collecting Plasma Storm, so I probably have the most from that, but I have a ton of stuff from a lot of ex sets in my drawers. I may collect Plasma Freeze as well. Haven't decided, but I do want a booster box. As for YGO, I was into it when I was 10-12 years old and I kind of quit caring about the anime during Virtual World in DM. I got back into it this year after catching it on tv during spring break. I made fun of it, wanted more laughs, rewatched YGOTAS, and then...wanted to actually read and watch it and here I am feeling 11 again. n___n Not big on the cards though, but I would love to have a Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl card at least. And I would love to ship cards and trade them with others, but living with my mom and not being financially stable on my own, I don't think that'll happen. Bet on it one day!

I'm not really partial to posting my pictures on PC, but this one is so old it won't matter. This is me, with two of the first four cards I got from my cousin. Oddly enough, the ones you see here...are still in my binder today. :)

Which Pokemon game is your all time favorite? Least favorite?
Emerald is my absolute favorite. It's no secret that gen III is my favorite and I am the Queen of Hoenn, so naturally, the best of Hoenn would be my fave game! My least favorite, again no secret, is Diamond and Pearl. They run so slowly, most of my least fave Pokemon are from Gen IV, Sinnoh is my least favorite region, too many HMs...just bad. I love Platinum though. I will give it that. But DP? Stay away.

Who is your favorite band/singer? Least favorite?
My favorite band is Kings of Leon. Thank you to Klippy for introducing me to them, as I've never looked back haha. I have all their songs and albums on my iPhone. They're the only artist I have all their stuff with me at all times. My favorite singer is Ariana Grande. I loved her character in Victorious as well, and she's just a sweet and wonderful person. Least favorite is Taylor Swift. I could go ON and ON about how much I dislike her, but I really don't feel like it. I mean...I think it's obvious.

Have you ever met up with someone from PC before?
I have! I met Jon, or Mr Cat Dog, in London on the first day of 2012. It was grand! It wasn't really planned, more like...joked about. And I didn't think it would really happen. I always thought my first PC meet up would be in the US, not when I was out of my country. Sadly, we didn't get a picture together, but oh well, we both have blog entries about the occasion (his is better than mine), so you could go read up on that if you want his perspective! I will say that I spent most of the parade looking for the sign he said he'd make for me, heheh. And MASS CONFUSION from my friends like "whoa how do you know someone from london???" and explaining PC. Secret out, whoops! :P

This post is so long, I'm sorry you guys!

Would you say that you're more of a person that sugarcoats what you say sometimes to a person, or are you more on the blunt side? o: Or would you say that you're a mix of both?
I would say I'm a bit of both. Sugarcoating never helps much, but I don't have it in me to be totally blunt or rude all the time, unless I feel that person really needs it. So for the most part, I'm both, but I'm a bit more on the blunt side.

Seeing as you have a strong interest in Education (at least, I hope I'm right in this) have you ever considered teaching at perhaps the high school level, perhaps? Or maybe become a private school teacher or anything like that? Or do you feel that you won't be branching out from your original goal (being a special ed instructor) and staying where you are to help those who have special needs?

If I were to teach high school level, it would be English and I'd only consider it if I no longer prefer younger students. I would rather teach at a lower class school than a private school. I want to be somewhere that I feel children would need me. And there are schools here, such as the one I graduated from, that I don't feel need me. They're doing fine and the teachers are great. I want to be somewhere that's not really the best in the state and hopefully improve lives and give new life to learning. My major isn't strictly special education, however students with special needs are mainstreamed more nowadays, so I'll likely be in a regular classroom. When you choose elementary education here, you have to choose it with early childhood (preschool) or special education. I obviously don't want two year olds, and I always have done well with students that are different than others. I have two great kids to thank for that, Seth and Landon. I don't see them anymore, but I owe them a thank you for being an early influence in my life. :)

Fun fact: I used to get ketchup packets and just eat the ketchup out of them. So yes. They are.

[supporter]Derk[/supporter]
Touching on that, are there any teachers in your life that you feel would have a strong influence on your teaching methods? To further expand on this, what instructor(s) in your life made you go "Wow, I love their method of teaching, I might pick up on some of these methods!" And what would those teaching methods be, if you could explain that?
I have my positive influences, but I also have the opposite. As in...I don't want to be like my 1st and 3rd grade teachers. So I have teachers that I want to be like and those I don't want to be like. The kindergarten teacher I observed was very helpful and did so many things I liked. I want to be like her. :)

I feel happy about that and even screenshotted it lmao. It's funny because I originally thought this forum was silly, and here I am with the most popular thread. Also shows I'm awesome and well liked here, so someone can go tell that user that posted that lovely letter to me in Adv Gen to eat a deck. What? Deck of cards. You pervs.

Do people ever call you Syd or Sydian in real life?
No, but I would be more than okay with it. :)

What do you do when you get a headache?
Take Aleve.

If you could choose any superpower to have, what would it be?
I've always wanted to transform. That was the monkey's power on Jackie Chan Adventures and my Chinese Zodiac sign is a monkey, so I am totally content with that. I thought it was destiny.

Are you a person that's afraid to speak directly to a crowd of people, or are you comfortable with it (aka do you have a fear of public speaking)?
I have issues with talking to people I don't know, let alone big groups of people I don't know. I asked everyone at my table individually if they wanted dessert or coffee tonight, cause I didn't feel comfortable asking them as a group. And plus they were all talking and I don't want to interrupt and I'm not loud enough and just ugh. I am fine with kids though. Or well, I'm better with kids. It's still nerve wracking, but it's not as bad as adults. Kids are more honest and vocal, but I feel adults, and peers my age, are more...harsh and can actually do more damage.

Also, I used to throw my jacket off during speeches in 11th grade English. And I sweat and get shaky and you can totally hear it. Humor is my medicine. It's how I try to break the ice and get more comfortable with groups. Or anyone, really. I also have a major eye contact problem. It's natural that I don't look people in the eyes and so I have to remind myself and force myself to do it, but it's really uncomfortable and doesn't help. I've been trying to focus on other facial features instead, like a nose.

So you intend to get a Wii U. I'm going to wait until the summer before deciding whether to get one. What makes you inclined on getting one?

Tell me, Sydster. What's your favourite fruit and why is it your favourite?
Gonzberries. Kidding. Strawberriesssss. idk why they are though. Maybe I'm just partial to red or something. But they're so good and I am always excited when someone buys them haha. Not a fan of them being refrigerated though. My teeth are sensitive and strawberries get super cold. :(

Drakow
Do you do any physical activities?
I like to dance and twirl baton, but I'm also in marching band. I know a lot of people just see it as nothing, but until you actually do it yourself or at least come to a practice, you see it's a ton of work. Let's not forget my instrument is almost my size. I love it though.

Do you have any siblings?
I have a sister and a step brother!

So you intend to get a Wii U. I'm going to wait until the summer before deciding whether to get one. What makes you inclined on getting one?
EARTHBOUND!!! That is the thing that really pulled me in. I'm probably still going to wait for a price drop but omg EARTHBOUND. No more having to buy a super expensive SNES cartridge!

Where did the nickname syd bby come from? I'm just really curious about that?
Some people call me that, since I'm Syd (duh) and bby is just like baby. I also like it cause it goes with seed bby. :) Which looking at your join date, I have to explain that too.

So I was avoiding gen V spoilers in 2010 and I was importing White. And Kaori was using this avatar with such a pretty grass Pokemon (Lilligant) and I asked Shivi if he knew what evolved into Kaori's avatar so that I knew what to look for. So he just sent me a picture of Petilil and I said "omg it's like a lil seed bby!!!" And there's that. I know that wasn't your question, but you were gonna be like "tf is seed bby?" So there, knocked out two questions. ;3

What is your favourite flavour of lollypop?

How what are the highest set of times tables do you know in your head?

How do you keep cool after a wound up member loses it?

Something basic like cherry.

How what are the highest set of times tables do you know in your head?
10. The 11 still confuses me once it gets up to 10 x 11 and I was never taught my 12 times tables. inb4 i'm made fun of for this sigh

How do you keep cool after a wound up member loses it?
I have a bit of a temper, but it's easy to keep cool when a member is so wrong that even Al Gore won't give them a recount. In the case of someone that's actually competent though, I usually just review my actions with another moderator, or a higher staff member.
