Far too few, sadly. I need to beef up on my anime, clearly.

To answer your second question: Yes. To answer your first question: Fuck yes!

No. Change is gradual. You may not see it right away, but nobody truly changes overnight. Even when we - as people - have those sudden, life-changing moments, they're the culmination of past events. Even when someone SEEMS to change in a moment, there had to be something building to that, even if they themselves were not aware. If someone seems to change overnight, the truth is you simply didn't see all the elements that factored into a more gradual change.
To be honest, the only person aware of everything that factors into a person changing is the person themselves. However, we rarely notice that we've changed because we're too close to ourselves. We experience every moment that leads us to change, so it's harder to see it. But anyone outside of ourselves can't see what's going on in every aspect of our lives. They aren't with us every second of every day and they don't hear our thoughts. They don't know all of our fears and hopes, our insecurities and secrets.
So, again: no. Barring medical issues - physical or mental - that I'm not knowledgeable to comment on, I do not believe it's possible for anyone to change overnight. It can seem that way - to both people around a person and to the person themselves - but an examination of the events leading up to the apparent overnight change will show you that the change was coming for some time. -
The meaning of life is to live it. The answer to the greatest question, on the other hand, is forty-two.

I did not know that, no. Nor did I think you were spam, because I figure people can be asked the same question individually, anyway.

Let me answer this out of order.
The career I'm primarily pursuing, and am most passionate about, is filmmaking. This includes writing, directing, cinematography, editing, acting and pretty much any aspect of filmmaking (though the mentioned bits are the bits I want to be the primary aspects for my life).
I can also see myself in careers of journalism, graphic design or theatre. I know, that's four, but theatre kind of overlaps with film, for me.
The trouble with answering which is most sensible is that NONE of these are sensible in the slightest. If I were a sensible person, I'd have never picked up a camera, wouldn't spend so much time dreaming up stories and I certainly wouldn't feel this intense, burning NEED to create.
I honestly see myself, ultimately, in ALL of the aforementioned careers, though with a focus on film/theatre, followed by journalism, followed after that by graphic design and such. Oh, and writing and/or drawing comic books. But to me, that's just filmmaking without motion. Storytelling, if you will. I live to tell stories.
Anything else would not be a career for me. A job, maybe, but not a career. The ways I make money now - with day jobs and clients telling me to make this promotional video or that - they're not careers. They're just jobs. They get me by, more or less, but even the video stuff isn't yet what I consider my career. I'm pursuing my career, but so far it pays zilch. But, as mentioned, I'm not a sensible person. I wouldn't be me if I were. -
My grandmother, Doris. I have a lot of heroes, but she was my superhero, my Superman (even if she was a woman).

Abraham Lincoln. I think you call him "Mother". Possibly in a creepy Norman Bates way, being as he's been dead for, well...some time. o.O

Didn't I already answer this question? I told you: your mom.

Your mom.
No, seriously, I have no idea what this question is referring to. -
I've never really given my ideal house much thought. Honestly, as long as I feel relatively secure (from both theft and the elements), I can live just about anywhere that has Internet access. I could technically live without Internet access, but I kind of need that to do most of the things that I do, especially sharing the videos and other art that I create.
When I think of an ideal place to live, I tend to think less about the house itself and more about the surrounding area. Is it near shopping? Is public transit available? Am I going to get shanked walking out my front door? Is all of my equipment going to suddenly relocate into my neighbor's apartment or worse while I'm getting groceries?
That said, I can tell you a few things I want just from things I've lacked in the past (or present):
1) I want to be able to make adaptations. At the very least, paint the walls. I hate white walls. I hate them with a passion. Especially when they are everywhere. The only thing worse than white walls is yellow walls.
2) SOUTHERN EXPOSURE WINDOWS. I suffer from depression, and a lack of sunlight makes it worse. More sunlight also makes it easier to be productive and stick to a schedule. In the last place I lived, before it was condemned, I had a huge southern exposure window. As a result, I would always wake up in the morning, no matter when I went to bed, feeling refreshed and ready for the day. I didn't even need to set my alarm, unless I needed to wake up super early, because the sunlight would cause me to wake up naturally. In my current home, the only room in the entire house with a southern exposure window is the laundry room. The house itself makes no sense, as my south-facing bedroom wall - the wall connecting with MY OWN YARD - has NO WINDOW WHATSOEVER. Instead, my only window faces into the NEIGHBOR'S YARD. Which leads to much annoyance, as they constantly have noisy gatherings directly beneath my window.
3) People I enjoy being around. Whether they're roommates or neighbors, I need to live around people that I enjoy hanging out with. For one, it makes forgiveness - in both directions - a lot easier when someone does something that annoys or pisses off the other person. Another factor, however, is again the depression; the longer I go without positive social interaction, the worse it gets. I'm also not very good at taking care of myself - I often get so into a project (or fall so deep into depression) that I forget to do things like, oh, eating. I'm also terrible at remembering to have things on hand that I don't need every day - like medicine for when I'm sick. So it's nice to have friends nearby who can loan things or run to the store for me, usually in exchange for a favor or a loan on my part at another time. -
If I knew a 100% surefire way to get more subscribers, I'd have at least several thousand by now. All I can tell you is to keep making videos, make a lot of them, and get engaged in the community. That means make video responses, comment, get to know other YouTubers and collaborate with them.
I can tell you that the only times I've had consistent growth in my subscribers is when I'm consistently making videos. I gained more subscribers than I lost during the month I made daily videos. However, keeping to a consistent schedule - especially daily - can be challenging if your daily life doesn't involve a whole lot of time in which to make videos. -
Well, I'm afraid that all depends on who you are. You asked this question anonymously, and I can't be giving my address out publicly or to strangers. Once I'm monetarily stable, I do hope to get a P.O. Box at some point, but right now, I'm horribly in debt to a number of people, and still having trouble paying the bills I have. So there's not presently a way for most people to mail things to me. If you're someone I know, you probably already have access to all of my contact info, even if you don't know it.

I generally prefer Marvel over DC, but I do enjoy a good amount of DC as well.

I own three hats that I wear regularly, and I've been gifted two hats that I don't really wear, as they don't quite fit right - though one of them I need to try on again since I've had my hair cut since I last tried. My puppet has two homemade hats of his own, but both have their imperfections.

I believe we met via the Stickfam, but I can't remember the details.
-
I honestly can't remember the first time I met you, so I can't remember what my first impression was. I'm pretty sure it was positive, given how awesome you are.
-
Very much. Though I have been sucked into a lot of all-night Tinychat sessoins lately by Vidcon folks. You should join us sometime!
