Question Set: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

- Q: Instead of taking Rumisiel to your school, wouldn't it be easier 
to just search for some good deeds for him to do?


- A: That would leave me with two options.  Let him go do good deeds on his
own (tried that, didn't work), or skip school, get in trouble, get grounded, 
and end up at home all the time, having to leave Rumisiel to his own devices
on a regular basis leading to the first part of the answer all over again.

 - Q: Why did you say the microwave blew up when a girl asked 
you about your little mishap with the razor??

- A: I panicked.  I was going to say pressure cooker, and then I realized no 
one uses those anymore, and I needed an answer fast.  In hindsight, it was
pretty stupid of me, but I've kind of been dealing with a lot recently.

- Q: What video games do you own besides racing ones?

- A: I also like to play fighting games.  I used to play a fair number of RPGs
as well, but honestly I've had just about enough pretending to be someone
else recently, if you get my drift.

- Q: First off, how did you decide on the XR4Ti?  I know they're neat 
cars with a lot of potential, but how did you get into them?

- A: I kind of stumbled upon the make.  I was in the market for a new car and 
didn't have much money.  I wanted something rear wheel drive, and Harry, our
local mechanic, was clearing some of his project cars out of his garage, so he
let me have it pretty cheap.  It came highly recommended and it hasn't let me
down yet.

- Q: Secondly, any other cars out there you have strong feelings towards?  
I know you mentioned your dad's A6 before, for example?


- A: I do like Audi's, but only the quattro's.  No point in owning the front wheel
drive versions.  I'm also fond of anything with a rotary engine.  I have a soft spot
for Subarus as well.

- Q: Finally, for now, you mentioned a 2nd car back in Ask Ash 3; just 
wondering what that was or if I'll just have to wait and see?

- A: When I bought it, I had every intention of driving it, but it doesn't currently
have an engine in it, and I don't have the money to both maintain my current car and
build up another, so unless I have the need to, I doubt more and more whether I'll
ever get that monster up and running.  It's from the same family as my XR4Ti, but
with some noted differences.  Sort of a more experimental project car I bought
from the same guy.

- Q: What part of being a girl weirds you out the most?

- A: That's kind of a difficult question to answer, so it may take me a while.  So far, 
it's no one particular thing.  For starters, wearing a bra is a constant reminder.  
Every time it squeezes me funny or gets uncomfortable it's a reminder.  Plus, the 
constant remind that I have breasts keeps making my hunch over, and then my back 
hurts, or maybe the back pain is directly from the breasts themselves.  I don't know.  
It's also a pain when I sleep, because I used to sleep on my stomach a lot, but now 
I can't, because it hurts to do that.  Other little things are like when I wake up and 
have to go to the bathroom and I stumble to the toilet and just stand there in front 
of it for a second before the realization of how useless that is hits me again like a 
lead brick.  Having to tilt my head up to talk to people that I used to be the same 
height as.  Walking down the street and having people stare at me and realizing 
they're really staring at my ass.  Almost walking in to the "wrong" locker room.  
The subtly different ways my dad treats me, not to mention my teachers and 
classmates.  It's all just one big mess.  The worst part is, even thought I am 
actually physically female and wearing mens' clothes, when I walk out in public, I feel 
like I'm living a big lie and cross dressing with this body and that everyone who looks 
at me somehow knows, and then it's even more crushing each time I realize that they 
don't, and that to them I've always been a girl.
