Favorite Character Names...

For all male characters I usually use the name Flare (and you should be able to figure out why).

For all female characters I usually use the name Jade (which is a shade of green which you should also understand why).

However, I don't think I would ever name any of my kids with these names though.

Maybe for middle names? . . . hmmm...

How I Determine Favorites...

So, I have a weird process to determine what my favorite things are. I make a highly unlikely scenario that goes a little something like this:

You are trapped in a room and a mysterious force will give you whatever you want but it only lets you have one item from every category.

Whatever I happen to pick must be my favorite because it was my first preference and it's something I would enjoy for a long time even in repetitious circumstances. I'll use my previous posts as an example:

What color do you want the room to be? Emerald Green.

What is your room number? 136.

What do you want to eat? Fruit Salad.

Now you are all probably thinking that since this scenario's conditions are infinite that I may alter my answers because while some things are considered favorites there are other items that perhaps I could tolerate for a longer period of time, but that's not the case. Even if I do become annoyed with something it will still be my favorite; that's why I picked it.

Favorite Color...

I also went through a phase of color favorites. Originally it was blue. Then it was red-orange because that was my favorite crayon-color to use. Then it became green around second grade due to a Sonic & Knuckles book I bought from the Scholastic Book Fair. The chaos emerald portrayed on the cover has always stuck out in my mind and I actually found a picture of the book!

So, I guess it's hard to pick out the exact shade of green I like from the picture, but to make it easy for everyone to understand it's the average color of the green lights found on Christmas lights, or that deep, rich, green ornament nearby.

I always say that my favorite color is Emerald Green because I like to be specific... and well, now you know my reference. Chaos Emerald Green!

Favorite Numbers...

So I have a favorite number... and I also have favorite numbers. When it comes to the guessing game of "pick a number between __ and __" I have a set of numbers I always use.

Between 1 and 10: 1. 1 is the common number in my four favorite numbers (including this one of course). Additionally, I like 1 because of a character named Taichi and his partner Zeromaru (making 100% [as they never lost, they always won, you can see that on the cover near the bottom-right corner]), the star of a Digimon manga. They were an awesome team.

Sorry, no Agumon here.

Between 1 and 20: 12. It used to be 15 but that was Kevin's favorite number too (this is back in the Junior Jazz days). So, I changed it to 12. That's really all there is to it. This was also my earliest favorite number. No picture here.

Between 1 and 100: 91. My favorite Gundam from the whole Mobile Suit Gundam universe is by far Gundam F91. I love everything about his design (even though I'm not a fan of his "human face" mode, but he's the only one who has something like that so that makes him even more unique... and he was trans-am-ing before it was cool). He has awesome equipment and features so enjoy the picture as much as I do.

I own three of him: Model, FIX, and Robot Spirits.

 Between 1 and anything above 100: 136. This is my favorite number above all the rest. And the reason for this is a simple one: Flareon. Flareon is just awesome! If I can I will always have him on my team. He was my fire type champ in Platinum, Soul Silver and will be on my team in Black once I get to the point where I can transfer previous generations.

You will always be my favorite!!
