The "Ask iori" Thread

Ok, I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but have'nt
really gotten areound to it.

I had actually intended to use my blog for this, but I got
fed up with trying to work the thing, so I quit using it.


Anyways, so basically you can ask me anything, it can be
trivial, personal, or even ask my opiion on something or
for my advice.

So yeah, ask away.

Okay......
#1.) Do you ever get sick of being called lori? j/k I already know the answer!

#2.) What does iori mean? Is there a nationality behind your name?
For instance Jennifer, my name is Old English/Celtic/Welch and it means "fair"

You know I never have looked at what it means in the old sense,
but Iori is the Japanese equivalent of my born english name, and
for various reasons I just started going by Iori instead, than I just
replaced my english last name with Komei, it's my de facto name,
though when I'm 21 (simply because I never find enough time to
do stuff) it will be my legal name.

Very cool, thank you Iori, for anwering my question to the best of your knowledge.
Next.....

Iori what do you do with presents you get at Christmas that are just useless to you or that you don't like. I get presents like that sometimes. And I can't return them because there is usually no receipt.

Is it okay to package them up again and pass them on to someone else who might like them?

Or is that "not the done thing"?

Me personally, I just let them sit in my closet, and take up space.

If it's in good condition, and it's not to close to the holiday you
got them, and the giftgiver is'nt likely to find out, yeah it's a
good idea to do.

Iori, do you have any New Years Eve resolutions you would like to make?

If so, are any of them from previous resolutions?

New Years resolutions, well I have'nt made New Years resolutions
for a very long time, so I have none to accomplish, but as for this
year, I have a few.

-Have 8000+ posts.
-Find love, or atleast a boy/girlfriend.
-Get atleast one tattoo done (I can never seem to find the time).
-Purchase a TechnoGoth outfit.

Those are my only resolutions.

Because I dislike having really long lines of text.

Hi Iori,

Do you like to read books? If so what was the last book you read? Not for school, but just for pleasure?

Yes, I indeed do like to read books.

The last book I finished reading was;
'The Stone Rose' by Jacqueline Rayner.

It's a Doctor Who book.

Come on, I know I'm not that interesting, but I figured
there'd be more people wanted to know.

Remember, you can ask me anything.

Hi iori,

Ok, why are there so many devil, lucifer, and satan threads going on here today?
It's like "Devil Day" or something.



oops, sorry iori, I fixed it. lol

iori..

I think it's because one person made a successful thread about it,
and there ended up being a lot of look-a-likes who wanted to make
a popular thread, and seeing the popularity of the first one, the rest
capitalized on the topic.

Material wise, the Chocolate (the cell phone thing).

Otherwise, peace on Earth.

Thanks, like I said, I've been meaning to do it for awhile.


My favorite musician that has influenced me I would have
to say is Yoko Kanno.

Iori,

Do you get upset if no one replies to a thread you made?
