Eyes on Me... just for a minute :D
Name: Christina.
Nicknames (no FFVIII nicknames though, as it might sway votes): Variations on Christina. You know, like "Chris" and "Chrissy"... but I refuse to let anyone call me Tina.
Age: 25.
Gender (and gender-rating preference, if you have one): I'm female, and I don't have a preference.
Interests: Viruses (the biological kind, not the computer kid), meteorology, astronomy, psychology, video games, weird facts, medieval history, geology... lots of 'ologies. Not apologies though.
Pet Peeves: I have a million, seriously. Everything annoys me. Well, not everything exactly, but I do get irritated by lots of things. Most of my pet peeves are centered around things people do. However, I hate it when people use the last staples in the stapler and don't fill it back up or even mention to anyone that the stapler's empty. ..I guess that one's people-centric too :-\
Hobbies/Talents: Hobbies: baking, video games, writing, reading, housewife-type stuff I guess. Talents: NONE :P Just kidding. I'm really good in bad situations, I learn very quickly, I write fairly well, and... I'm astoundingly considerate of people? Since hardly anyone is anymore I guess this is a talent.
Dreams/Ambitions: I'd like to open up my own psychology practice.
Strengths: I'm intelligent, intellectually honest, and have an open mind. Again, I'm really good in crisis situations, and I learn very quickly.
Weaknesses: I'm critical, judgmental, and paranoid. I'm also a perfectionist. This is a good thing in some ways, but it's also a weakness. I hold myself and others up to absurdly high standards, and when those standards aren't met, I get angry. I can get absurdly irrational and emotional. I'm also not very feminine in some ways.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Realistic. I'm sorry, I know that's not an option, but to me, both 'optimism' and 'pessimism' imply a certain willing blindness to reality. 'Realistic' implies cynicism, but my usage is to say that regardless of whether the situation is good or bad, I see it for what it is.
Hyper, Calm, or Somewhere in Between? Calm. I'm astoundingly laid-back.
Impulsive or Cautious: Cautious. I'm incapable of being impulsive - I'm too aware of consequences.
Outgoing or Shy: Shy, but it's more like 'introverted'.
Mature or Immature?: Mature. I have immature sides of me, but I don't let people see them, for the most part.
Leader or Follower?: I tend toward following, but if the leader's screwing up right and left and doing a horrible job, I'll step in at that point because it's obvious no one else knows what's going on, and no one else could probably do it right anyway...
What are the 3 top characteristics you look for in a friend? A sense of humor, patience, and, I dunno, not being just like everyone else.
Are you more of a lover or a fighter? ..Lover, I guess. Can I say 'neither' or 'both'? 'Cause that's more accurate. I switch between fighting and loving depending on the situation.
What's your fighting style (FF or RL-verse)? I... have never been in a RL fight. FF, I tend to rely on strength and abilities.
Finally, if a situation isn't going the way you like, what do you do about it? Whine and bitch about it. Then deal with it. lol
Pictures (optional):
Anything else we should know?: ...No? Probably, but nothing I can think of right now.
