If you believe the historians, Disney is largely to blame for anime as we know it today.

I'd pick Disney every time; it has a bright, dreamy, fluid quality to it - which stands in stark contrast to the angularity, stiffness and convolutedness of anime.

Well, I didn't start out as a dolphin, that came a few years after I found the furry fandom. Once i'd settled on the animal, I found myself looking for a way of making my character more distinctive. I explored some of the lesser-known dolphin species, and arrived at the Short-Beaked Common Dolphin - mainly because of its distinctive yellow markings. My name came from "Siren", as in merfolk.

All of my character's subtleties and particular quirks came about as I developed him further; so, in summary, the species found its way to me, and it's been an evolutionary process since then :) (That includes the whole 'becoming a pool toy' part! hehe)

German, because it seems like the most useful second language for me to know, given my interests and social circles.

"put a hose in"

I'm looking forward to a summer filled with squeaks, splashes and sun :) It's taking its sweet time to arrive, though...

I used to really love putting Milo ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_%28drink%29 ) on my ice cream as a kid. These days, I prefer it untopped.

Nooooooooo burst.

Well, i'm bound to be biased on this one. To avoid being accused of favouritism, i'll say whales. They are bigger and bouncier, after all :)

The number of views is a dumb metric for judging how good something is, because different people look at things for different reasons. One thoughtful comment is worth 100 views.

Accelerate to 88 MPH, get pulled over and fined for speeding.

Find a parade to conveniently enter myself into ;)

Oh, definitely Shiba-inu - they're so much cuter :D

There's a winter olympics now? I guess us Aussies had better start practising those timeless winter sports like running, athletics, swimming and rowing (all while being occasionally rained on).

Balloons don't do a lot for me; i'd rather be one than cuddle up to one. Big pool toys are definitely where it's at :)

Someone who goes all Terminator on annoying kids who ask him if he has a tumor :3

Not at all. I believe in equality! ;)

Stuff in or around the butt... but not the front bottom.

The 100m "throw the TV out the window to avoid having to watch the Olympics" event.

I was digging in the Earth, then there was a sudden gust of Wind, then for some reason everything caught on Fire.

I have a lot of regrets throughout my past, and I do have a nasty habit of dwelling upon them. I try to focus on the present and the future, though.
