And now, my question.
@Zenax, @Mintaka, @Gligar13 If the three of you were stranded on a deserted island together, with no supplies whatsoever, what would you do?

Get those two's help to build a raft, try finding potable water, a food source, and eventually try to leave the island à la Tom Hanks from Cast Away.

@Zenax What is your favorite song at the moment?

It has been "Don't Stop Me Now", by Queen, for over a year now. So catchy and awesome.

Notable mentions go to "Umbrella" by Rihanna and "You Shook Me All night Long" by AC/DC, though. The former because it played at our small graduation party from sixth grade, which was my favorite year ever, so I get all nostalgic when I hear it.
The latter because I went on a road trip with school around the Gaspésie peninsula in Secondary 3, and someone managed to plus his or her iPod to the bus' speakers (a luxury bus, not a regular schoolbus) and made it play on the last day, when we were going back home. We all sang the chorus together, it was awesome. :') I also get very nostalgic when I hear that one.

Two questions, so I'll ask two:

@Paperhorse ; Why did you decide to become a teacher?

@Zephyrian ; What is the thing that makes you feel the most nostalgic?

You can't forget Wilson, dude. That's like, the most important character on the movie.

And I love your music Selection. "Don't Stop Me Now" is probably the most random song I've heard, which is why it's epic. Alongside "Bohemian Rhapsody", of course.

Now, for the question in hand... I'm thirteen, almost fourteen, so there's not much that can get me nostalgic. If I had to say something, though, it would be playing the Crystal I got a few weeks back. It reminds me too much of Silver, the game that got me into Pokémon. Aside from that, though, I'd say seeing photos from my old house. I lived there until my brother was born, so we moved from the lack of space. Which was a shame, due to me having a couple of friend's there; mainly a family whom we still talk to every know and then.

My turn to ask a question.

@Enzap: Would you say your preferences change a lot, or do you stick with what you like?

When I was in high school, I enjoyed working with the kids at summer camp and decided I wanted to do that as a career :)

@Aestivate: What was the last book you read for fun? Did you like it?

it's called The Brain that Changes itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science by Dr. Norman Doidge.

Technically I only had to read a few chapters for class but I read the whole book because of how awesome it was. It's a story on neuroplasticity and how the brain is able to adapt to different situations and circumstances like injury or whatever. It really changed my outlook on... change.

@Taiki, @Croag - can you explain the british schooling system again. o_o I still don't understand it.
 
@Clowncrete - I like croagunk because a) Brock has one :p, b) I really like its design and c) It's awesome! (In my opinion).

@Aestivate - prepare for tl;dr post.
At the age of four, you start Primary school in 'reception'. This lasts a year, then the next year you go into year 1, etc. This continues until the end of year 6 (when you are eleven) and then you leave Primary school. At eleven you go into Secondary School, starting with year 7. This lasts up until year 11 when students are 16. From this they get what is called GCSEs, usually in about ten subjects. This was the case for me, however I think they changed it in the past few years - students can then decide to permanently leave school, go to college or go to sixth form. In the case of college, this is usually restricted to one or a few vocational subjects, such as beauty, mechanics or child care - for example.

If they decide to go to sixth form, this would last for two years - year 12 and year 13. Some students move schools for these two years, if their previous secondary school doesn't offer it - or they just have the free choice to change. I decided to stay at my secondary school, though, because it was provided. Generally after year 12, students get from, 3-5 qualifications called AS levels. One in each specific subject. Once year 12 has finished, in year 13 they continue the same subjects into the year - sometimes dropping one, or two. Then after year 13 (the last year) they get their qualifications called A Levels (usually 3 or 4) at the age of 18. The grades range from A*-E, and a fail grade is called a U. The grades they get for these 3/4 subjects can be used to apply for University, colleges, jobs or apprentiships. There are some other qualifications students can get in sixth form/college, such as BTechs, however I'm not too sure about these. :p

In university, students usually stay for 3 years - however if they want a 'Masters' degree they stay on for 4 years. I can't really explain the rest as I've been lazy and haven't read up about it. :p

Using myself as an example, the subjects I picked up in Year 12 were Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths - which got me 5 AS levels. I got my grades last summer and I dropped Chemistry, so I'll be getting A Levels in Biology, Physics, Maths and Further Maths. I've actually already gotten my A Level for maths, but that's because I got the opportunity to get it a year earlier. It's not the same in America, where you have semesters and your courses switch around each semester, my courses last me two years.

Uh, I hope that answers your question, LOL!

@Wolverine - Do you want Dento to stay onto the next series of pokemon, or would you rather he left so he doesn't get stale like Brock did?

Mmmmm... I don't know if he'd get stale. He's not just there, he's always involved in things and engaged in what's going on, therefore he makes whatever's going on engaging and entertaining (for the most part). So I don't think I would mind if he stay another saga... 14 years down the road... maybe I would XD

@SSJ_Jup81 Favourite Japanese food?

@Musharnas in Pyjamas - Your username reminds me so much of Bananas in Pajamas that I smiled. THE QUESTION: is it related to the show?

@Parmalee Sorry for the late reply, but yes, my name is indeed inspired by the show Bananas in Pyjamas. Or if you like, Nanners in Jammers.

~AND NOW A QUESTION~​

@hurristat What's your dream in life, man?
 
Mintaka said:
@bluesun ; What's your favorite Pokemon game so far?
Click to expand...
Pearl, for being the first 3D handheld game, for being the first one I thoroughly played through in Japanese, and since at release did so without a guidebook or similar.
The Adventure of Togepi gets a special mention though for despite its simplicity, it somehow manages to keep throwing new levels at me.

@Mintaka; How about yours?
 
@bluesun ; I like Platinum the most. While belonging to the 4th gen that had me obsessed in Pokemon again, it improved greatly from Diamond and Pearl. (I played Pearl before that, so...)
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon : Explorers of Sky can come in second.

@Lumi ; Who do you like more? Kudari/Emmet or Nodari/Ingo? :p
 
@Mintaka Oh gosh, that's so hard. ;_; Umm... I would say I like Ingo better, but only a little bit better. They are both awesome, though. :3

@PokemonTrainerAlexa The Subway twins appear in front of you! What is your first reaction? 8D
