I spy with my missing eye...
Name/Nicknames: Acky/Aki
Age: 20
Birthdate: 17th March, 1987
Height: 5'0"
Likes: Reading, alone time (sitting in my room, looking out the window), watching the rain fall, listening to music, documentaries, aquariums, art galleries, playing video games, witty people, astronomy, anthropology, the sea, mythology, philosophy
Dislikes: Creepy-crawlies, rude people, stubborn ignorance, being disturbed, loudness, overprotectiveness, snakes, excessive and unnecessary swearing
Hobbies & Talents: My hobbies are making graphics, surfing the 'net, reading, drawing and painting, learning new things (through the net or by reading), photography. I'm musically talented (singing and brass band) and I'm a good dancer.
Strong Points: I'm emotionally very strong and I always show integrity. I don't follow the crowd and I have no problems with saying no and doing my own thing. I've never felt the need to do something just because it was what everyone else was doing and I almost never cave in to peer pressure. Not to sound pretentious, but I think that distinguishes me from most people and I'm very proud of my inner strength. A lot of people also say that I'm one of those lucky people that are naturally extremely intelligent and I suppose that's true. I don't have to try as hard as most people to be the best at something and I learn things very quickly (in school, I was often the top student in my year). My strength is in reasoning and logic and I've been told that I'm wise and have a very good head on my shoulder.
Weak Points: I'm shy, but I think it's something that I think I'm beginning to grow out of now. My shyness sometimes puts me in a very negative mindframe and it makes me worry about things that I don't need to spend so much time thinking about. Since I'm becoming a bit more confident now, I think my biggest weak point is my reliance on my natural talent and intelligence to get me through everything. Even I don't think it's right to be arrogant in such a way and I hope I can grow out of that as well before it gets me into trouble.
Fears: Failure, but not just academically. Failing academically would be a huge, crippling blow, but I've always seen myself as a strong person with a good set of principles. So, if I were to fail even on a personal level, I think I'd regret it for a long time. I'm an ambitious person with an optimistic attitude to the future... and I can't even imagine how bad things would be if I failed to stay strong and achieve my goals.
Dreams and aspirations: I want to lead a full and happy life. My dream is to become a successful lawyer, a very intelligent and worldly woman, and above all, I want to fall in love and be a good mother to my children in the future.
Favorite animal: I love the cat family, from the cute cuddly domestic kitten to the regal and powerful tiger.
Your favorite book or movie, and why: I love Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. They really speak to me on a deep level and I love the rich, elegant world she has created. It's dark and beautiful and that really appeals to me. One of my favourite movies of all time is 'Interview with the Vampire' for the same reasons. Despite the mystical aspects of the Chronicles, I love the tragic philosophies behind the stories.
A favorite quote or song lyric: "Be the change you want to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi. This quote always empowers me. It's about being brave and taking the initiative to do what you know is right.
What you want to do for a living: I want a career in Law as an advocate for Human Rights.
Favorite Clamp Character? Why?: Tomoyo Daidouji because she reminds me a lot of myself. That probably makes me sound a bit vain, but it just means that I feel as if I can really understand her character. She's just so loyal, kind and intelligent - she makes a great friend.
Least favorite Clamp character? Why?: Honestly, I really can't think of anyone that I particularly dislike... but since I have to choose, I pick Li Syaoran. I personally never found him all that interesting a character.
Favorite Clamp pairing and why? Kamui and Kotori (X/1999) mainly because they look so cute together and they are two of my favourite X/1999 characters (so what's better than seeing them together?). Kamui obviously cares about Kotori a lot and I think they'd look very sweet as a couple.
You find the journal of one of your friends that was left at your house. What do you do?: I know what it's like to have someone read your private journal, so I definitely wouldn't read it. I was so angry, embarassed and devastated when it happened to me and I still can't quite believe that someone I was supposed to trust would invade my privacy like that. It's not right.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?: Telekinesis. I'd love to be able to move things with my mind. I'm always trying to do two things at once and having an extra hand would be so helpful. Not to mention that I'm cheating a bit. I also like the power of flight and with Telekinesis, I can use my powers to lift myself off the ground and fly around. =P
If you were stuck on a desert island and could pick five things to bring, what would they be?: A very, very long book, a water purifier, a tent, a camera (assuming I'll be rescued, I'd probably end up taking some gorgeous pictures of paradise just for the heck of it), and a switchblade.
Likewise, if you could have one Clamp character with you on the desert island, who would it be?: Probably Yuzuriha Nekoi (X/1999) because she's sweet and energetic and seems like the sort of person that you can get along well with. Also, she'd be accompanied by Inuki and I'm sure that would insure against any dull moments.
Anything else?: I don't think so.
Clamp series you know: Cardcaptor Sakura, Magic Knight Rayearth, Chobits and X/1999
Any special requests? Nope.
Because the mods are curious, where did you hear about us?: From keybladerating.
Pictures and/or Describe Yourself:
I'm really not comfortable with sharing my photos with strangers owing to a harassment/stalker incident last year online, so I'll describe myself. I have tan skin, waist-length black wavy hair, brown eyes, 5' in height, about 94 lbs so I have a small/slender frame. I have a good sense of style and I'm never scruffy.
