HEY SISTER SOUL SISTER
Name/Nickname: Kelly/Kinks
Age: 20
Likes: Writing (poetry in particular), animanga, gender & sexuality studies, psychology, astronomy, music, cute things! ♥, bright colors, polka dots and stripes, live performances (the energy is fantastic), urban areas, public transportation (I'M WEIRD I KNOW, but people-watching can be interesting), adrenaline, fandom meta 'cause I'm a dork.
Dislikes: Arrogance (although some can make his awfully charming), ignorance & bigotry, close-mindedness. Pretension. People who can't control their tempers (although I'm beginning to fall into this myself...). Anything boring or bland. Blind optimism. People who take serious situations too casually. Being ignored. People who run away from problems. Feeling inferior or overlooked. Ridicule.
Talents/hobbies Most of the things I listed in 'likes,' really. I'd like to think I'm decent at writing, in the very least.
Strong points:Intelligent, curious; I seek information out and value knowledge. I'm an independent thinker (for the most part), and rational, so I can make a mean argument~ I'm passionate, and care about and become dedicated to causes. Trustworthy. I can recognize my own faults, which opens up opportunities to better myself. And I've been told I'm nurturing, but this isn't always the case: it can venture very much into tough love territory, honestly. I'm also told I can be unbearably cute? ♥ :D
Weaker points: I'm an emotional wreck, too vulnerable, and too easily affected by shit. I don't let things go easily. Lack of confidence. Nervous, paranoid, distrustful. Stubborn and challenging, possessive. Easily envious of other people. And my hold on my temper is getting looser and looser. I can also over analyze and stay in my head too much, which not only leads to self absorption, but also issues in being authentic and open with people, as much as I really would like to be.
Mature or Immature: Why must all these applications throw this question at me :| I honesty vacillate a hella lot between the two extremes. I could handle my emotions better, and god I wish my latent ambition wouldn't keep succumbing to my laziness. In that sense, my instability points to immature. But I think I have a very honest view of myself, and because I am learning how to better myself and be a bit more resilient, I'll go with mature.
Leader or Follower: I do my own thing. I'm not overly obedient but I'm also not a standout leader.
Outgoing or Shy: Shy. I still speak up in conversation, of course, and this applies less if I'm friends with someone (as then I can be very loud, oh lawd), but I prefer others to approach me.
Confident or Modest: Modest? As much as I would like to flaunt my peacock feathers if I'm good at something, I wouldn't want to make anyone else feel bad. And the insecurity issue kind of cancels out confident, anyway.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: Realist. I focus on possibilities and potential like an idealist would, but I think it's a little foolish to be overly optimistic to the point where you don't see the potential roadblocks and thus don't prepare for them accordingly. While I can be hard on myself, I try not to hold a pessimistic view of life because--frankly, it's just not fun. I fawn over Eeyore like everyone else but it's no way to live life.
Goals in life: Stay committed to my social causes and personal values. I'd like to improve my craft in writing, as well, to the best of my potential. I'd like to become the kind of person that's worthy of being admired, someone who is self sufficient and properly driven and. You know. All that cliche stuff ♥
Favorite quote & why: "If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance."- George Bernard Shaw. I encourage walking on the darker side of life, so whatever shadows contort themselves into your life, don't run away from them: make the best out of the situation, into something ironic and humorous, even if in a grotesque way. Sometimes, it takes courage to laugh.
Describe your personality in three words or more: I AM SUCH A FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. I--I kind of feel bad for people who become my friends, ffff. People think I'm this nice, sweet, innocent, gentle person with some sort of halo on my head when they meet me. And then they befriend me, and it's like--no, no, I'm really this quite rough around the edges and loud and opinionated and crude girl who flails a lot, and I'll probably poke an eye out at some point. And then you know me longer and, okay, I really am sentimental and sappy and shy slip of a thing so I. I make no sense :|
Favorite character & why: YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CHOOSE :| Okay. So I usually go for hot blooded characters, like Grimmjow. And I do love the Jackerjacques, don't get me wrong. But my top 3 are Ichigo, Soi Fon, and Ulquiorra. Ichigo for the softy he is under that tough exterior; Soi Fon also for her coldness yet secret vulnerability. And Ulquiorra because, despite the arrogant 'I couldn't care less' attitude I usually hate, his curiosity really appeals to me. I find that side of him interesting.
Least favorite character & why:I don't really DISLIKE anybody, but--I don't give a crap about Barrangan?
Name one character you absolutely don't want to be stamped as and why: Well. I'd prefer not to be stamped as Orihime; it was my first stamp at bleach_rating and I kind of see it, but not fully, and I think other characters could fit me better. But. If you really feel she fits best, then go ahead and vote for her.
Anything else: I'd like a reason along with your votes, if you don't mind ♥ And thanks for putting up with my ramblings, darlings.
