Name/Nickname: Allyson
Age: 20
Likes: Reading, writing/working on a story, singing in the car to Disney songs/Broadway, cooking, my friends, the color blue, stars, Sleeping Beauty, Disney World, traveling to places both old and new, going out to eat, photography, lakes, theater, Harry Potter, sleeping in on the weekends (especially if it's rainy outside), thunderstorms, Conan O'Brien, movies, FRIENDS.
Dislikes: Tomatoes, birds, awkward situations (that's one way to get me to leave a room, anyways), rudeness, cowardice, dishonesty, anything with a stinger.
Strong points: One of my strongest personality traits is definitely my easy-going attitude. I try not to sweat the small stuff because life is really too short to get worked up over stuff that, in the long run, doesn’t matter. I’m also very loyal to the point that I will get angry when people badmouth my friends. I’m pretty bluntly honest most the time, not wanting to beat around the bush. I try to live honestly and without hiding (secrecy bothers and annoys me). I'm a pretty upbeat person as well with a happy-go-lucky sort of sense of humor. I am very good at cheering people up and/or talking them down from their issues. I'm great in a crisis since I can keep a cool head. I stick very firmly to who I am and I don't sacrifice any bit of myself to please others.
Weaker points: My weakest personality trait is definitely my stubbornness. If it is one thing that annoys me, it is when someone tells me I can’t do something or that I’m not allowed. I’ve been like this ever since I was little. It’s like I get this indignation where I think, “Who are you to tell me that I can’t do that?” It doesn’t even matter if I agree the sheer fact that someone is telling what to do annoys me. I am pretty independent which can be good and bad. I'm sure you can understand the positive aspects so I will explain the negative. I'm so independent that I'd rather deal with my "burdens" on my own and, in a strange paradox, I would gladly give my help but I don't let people in easily. It's not that I'm arrogant to believe that no one would do any good, it's just that I get self-conscious about it.
Hobbies &/or Talents: My main hobbies include writing and reading. I’m always working on a novel of some sort (currently it’s the sequel of a completed novel which is in the editing process; I do like to keep busy). I read a lot (it’s an accomplishment if I can enter a book store and come out empty-handed). I really enjoy cooking but, as a college student, I content myself with watching Food Network. The only other hobby that I can think of is photography. Like I said earlier, a talent of mine is cheering people up and listening to their troubles.
Favorite color: Blue
Favorite animal: Cat
Favorite season: Spring
Mature or Immature: I'm pretty much in the center. When I was younger, I was told that I was mature but now it seems like I've caught up. I can act mature and I've been known to act immature at the same time. *shrug*
Leader or Follower: Again, a bit of both. I'm not one to actively pursue leadership only because of my own feelings of inadequacy but I've never been afraid of it. I'm just too easy-going to make an issue.
Outgoing or Shy: I'm shy when I first meet people but I gradually warm up. I'm actually a very friendly and warm person but I don't usually come across as such in the beginning.
Confident or Modest: Arg. I hate to do this but I can be both. I'm a lot more confident than I used to be. I'm a bit more sure of myself but I still consider myself very modest -- this is where low self-esteem comes in.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: I'm pretty much an optimistic. I'm typically the one telling my friends not to get upset before the fact or to try and look at the bright side of a situation.
Low, medium, or high energy level: Medium. I can have a high energy level but not always.
Goals in life: Wow. Well, the first thing that comes to mind is a family. My parents divorced when I was 6 years old so I haven't really known that normal family. It's almost weird that I fantasize about it, actually. But I dream of getting married and having kids...not that I really want to be a soccer mom. My other dream is to write a book so I guess in my perfect ideal is to be a stay-at-home mom, lol. I guess one way of looking at it is that a goal in my life is to love and be loved.
Favorite quote & why: "Everyone deserves the chance to fly." - Wicked. There's so much truth in this, to me. Note that it says "chance." I think that we all have equality and we need to chance to be thrown up into the air. Whether we soar or fall into the sea a la Icarus, well, that's our call.
Describe your personality in three words or more: Warm. Humble. Bluntly honest. Hopelessly romantic.
Favorite character & why: I have two currently: Orihime and Yoruichi. Yoruichi, well, I'm pretty sure the only reason I like her is because she's just cool. I mean, you know she is. Orihime I love because I love her character. Her character has definitely evolved. On the surface, she seems really simple but underneath there is really just a real thunderstorm of stuff going on. Plus I love her optimism and her humor. She's just this really good person who seems to get a bad rap -- I really hope she gets a chance to really assert her power because I think she really deserves it.
Least favorite character & why: Aizen. Not to say that he isn't a great bad guy but...dang...I'm really hoping he gets hurt just to wipe that smile off his face.
Anything else: Nope! Thanks for taking the time to read this! =)
