1. I don't think that anything I've watched has immediately changed my whole outlook per se, but fiction does bring up themes that I can stop and think about. Or identify with. I see a lot of myself in certain FMA characters, for example :)
2. That the very energy that makes fandom so much fun can also be so destructive - sometimes people get *SO* attached to a pairing/chara/etc that they become difficult to interact with. OMG YOU DO NOT MY LIKE MY PAIRING I HAET YOU!!!1 type of stuff.
3. I suppose surviving it thus far? I am not sure if I have such a thing as a long term goal in life, so it's hard to judge my achievements :)
4. XD; I've already invented and celebrated a variety of fake holidays with my fellow geek friends. One is Pi Day, March 14 - at 1:59:26 pm exactly, one serves a pie from my Pi plate, which is a dish with the digits of pi running around the perimeter. Also, Elricmas (12/17), which is the Church of Elric's fake holiday celebrating uh, getting drunk on irc and writing fanfic? It's happened two years running now, craziness...
5. I am attempting never to say never anymore, because in general, every time I swear never to write something, someone then challenges me to do it because I said I won't, and I wind up writing it just to prove I'm not incapable XD; (This is, incidentally, why such horror as Ed/Hei necro fic exists O.o)
