Name: Laura
Nicknames (no FFVIII nicknames though, as it might sway votes): //
Age: 24
Gender (and gender-rating preference, if you have one): female / no preference
Interests: reading, writing, videogames, sports
Pet Peeves: mean people, liars, people who double park, people who wear sunglasses indoors, fake laughter, noisy eaters, drivers who don't use a turn signal
Hobbies/Talents: see interests
Dreams/Ambitions: Uhm. Well, I'm not an ambitious person by nature and my aim in life is definitely not to make money and be famous. I think I want to live my life at its fullest, because we only live once. And I want to live my life without big regrets. I do regret some things I've done in my life, and there are things I want to change about my past, this is why I don't really want to live life with more regrets. And I would like to always enjoy where I am and whatever I am doing. I don't want a boring life. When I think about my future, I imagine myself doing something that matters.
Strengths: Loyal, determined, adventurous, good analytical skills
I'm very loyal but that loyalty comes with time and my trust must be earned. I'm very determined. When I set my mind on something I usually get it, because I see nothing but my goal and I'm not satisfied until it's done and failure is not an option. I think I'm intelligent. Whoa, actually I think I'm not stupid. I think with my own head, I don't get fooled easily and I can decide things by myself. I had good grades at school, but I think that intelligence is not based on school records. I think an intelligent person is someone who has good problem solving skills in the real world. I'm very adventurous. I have done a little travelling but I would like to do a LOT more! I love to travel because there are so many places and people to meet and explore, so many things too see and learn!. And well.. I have good analytical skills. I'm a good strategist (My sister always beat me at chess btw) , mostly because I'm good at understanding others. I really think it's far more easy to understand others than myself.
Weaknesses: lazy, impulsive, pessimistic, critical
I'm very pessimistic, I always expect the worst. I know being pessimistic isn't a good thing but I can't really help myself. I'm impulsive by default. Normally I don't think things through, and I'm too impulsive for my own good. I used to be always in trouble when I was younger because of my impulsivity. I'm still impulsive and that's part of my nature, but now I'm more cautious and thoughtful in the things I do in public. I'm a bit paranoid, I'm always suspecting people of screwing me over and this is why I don't trust people easily.I procastinate a lot and always regret it. Somehow I always end up doing other stuff than I should be doing
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Pessimistic
Hyper, Calm, or Somewhere in Between? somewhere in between
Impulsive or Cautious: impulsive
Outgoing or Shy: outgoing
Mature or Immature?: immature but with mature moments
Leader or Follower?: leader
What are the 3 top characteristics you look for in a friend? Someone friendly, cares for his friends, hard working, a bit of a sense of humor never hurts.
Are you more of a lover or a fighter? A bit of both. But if I have to choose I'm going with fighter
What's your fighting style (FF or RL-verse)? I'm a long rage fighter. I don't mind using dirty tricks if necessary. Especially if I know that my oppenent is more skilled than me and and I have to find a way out from this situation. Like Macchiavelli said the ends justify the means. I know I can't rely on my strength alone to defend myself, so I would try to think about some good strategy or something that can give me an advantage to win this fight
Finally, if a situation isn't going the way you like, what do you do about it? I'm very determined, so I think I would do my best and try to get what I want

Anything else we should know?: i was stamped as Cid 3 years ago ( this is my old application ; http://community.livejournal.com/balamb_rating/47458.html ). I think we're not very much alike, so I would like to do a re-stamp :D
