Q577: Large clothes (jackets, trousers, long sleeve shirts, etc) go in the wardrobe, small clothes (t-shirts, shorts, socks, etc) go in the drawers.
Q578: No and NO. Advance Australia Fair is pretty awful. Who the fuck would ever say "Our land is girt by sea"?

European music history I guess? I'm not really that interested in history but this is part of my Uni course.

Um... I guess Yesung? It's either him, Leeteuk, or Zhoumi. I think.
I still have no idea about any of this stuff

Here's yet another gay person to chuck their two cents in.
I want LGBT content in the game even if it's not done very well. I'll cringe, yes, but I'll live with it. It's not ideal, sure, but I'll manage. It would be unreasonable for me to expect perfection on the first attempt at anything. The first attempt should be more like a promise that there will be future attempts and that improvements will be made.
If the writers are not ready to make that commitment, then they shouldn't. Having LGBT content in one game only for it to disappear in the next would be more frustrating than having to wait a bit longer for it to be included. If tropey/stereotypical characters are included, I can give the writers the benefit of the doubt as long as the next game improves from there. I don't think an unsatisfactory first attempt will cause that much long lasting damage. I think the permanent damage would come from the writers refusing to move on from any tropes/stereotypes that they use.
I want this content but that's entirely selfish on my part. If there can't (or won't) be a commitment to future improvement on representation, it's probably better to wait until there can be. I can wait. I'm a very patient guy.
Then again, I'm highly ignorant of not only Japan's attitudes towards LGBT issues, but also the west's attitude towards them and the LGBT community at large. Feel free to disregard my opinions as being selfish and uninformed.
EDIT: Gah, typos.

Tricky.
My natural shyness wants to use a pseudonym but unless the fame grew to massive, unmanageable levels it'd probably just be easier to use my real name.
My real name is also a bit annoying to me because people get it completely wrong worryingly frequently. I'm already sick of reminding people that I've known for a while that my name is not Joshua.
But I'm also hopelessly lazy and just using my real name and calling it a day would be easy.
I'm leaning towards pseudonym. Paranoia trumps laziness.

Q570: I've got nothing against travelling, I'm just far too boring and lazy to be excited about it.
Q571: My stage performances in high school. It held cabarets every 2 years and I got to perform in 2 of them. The first one in year 10 reignited my interest in singing, the second one in year 12 cemented music as the thing I wanted to do with my life.
I was also in the school production of The Tempest last year as Prospero. That was pretty cool.

Uh... Does laziness and generally not giving a fuck count as a family tradition? My parents both ditched their family traditions and couldn't really be bothered coming up with new ones.

Leg. I remember how much harder my life got when my dominant hand was out of action due to a broken thumb. Don't want to do that again.

Q554: My parents don't listen to much music. I'm studying music at university. So no.

I go back to when Whitlam was Prime Minister to get a University education without a lifetime of student debt attached. Then I come back and struggle to get a job with my useless degree.

Q550: Computers. I wish I could properly maintain my PC instead of relying on other people.
