I seem to have misplaced one of my eyes.
Name/Nicknames: Liz
Age: 20
Birthdate: December 30th
Height: 5'3" ;_;
Likes: Sunshowers, wind, the ocean, bookstores, that new book smell, scrollwheels, baking, autumn, chocolate, bad puns, sleeping, writing stories of questionable quality, making graphics of questionable quality, silly 3AM MSN chats, randomly bursting into song (I do it a lot mentally. Not so much in reality), Disney movies, crack!fic, good!fic, laughing at badfic, good literature (particularly 19th century for some reason), novelty socks, warm blankets, architecture, astrology, astronomy, learning random facts, windchimes, and writing insanely long apps, apparently.
Dislikes: Bad smells, cigarette smoke, being rushed, feeling useless/stupid/left out, standing in long lines when I'm in a hurry, driving, doing paperwork, bad moods, pushy people, mean-spirited people, the administration office (my eternal foe), doing badly, and cooked vegetables.
Hobbies & Talents: Hobbies: Reading, watching TV, writing, sleeping, playing video games, RPing. Talents: Finding things, being a smartass, being good at Tetris, writing well (apparently?), sleeping through anything, remembering the general layout of a building, sensing other people's distress.
Strong Points: I'm pretty organized and neat. I'm a decent listener and I'm pretty good at giving advice or making people feel better. I'm a quick learner. I can be determined and dedicated when I need to. I give 110% in everything I do. I can work with almost anyone if I need to.
Weak Points: I take forever to get things done. I can be easily discouraged and easily hurt by others. I'm hard to get to know (I've been accused of being aloof). I have trouble finishing things. I can be annoyingly stubborn. I'm difficult to console. I flip-flop between perfectionism and apathy.
Fears: Falling, being abandoned, letting people down.
Dreams and aspirations: I'd like to have a job I love and be able to support myself and my parents. I'd also really love to travel Europe and Asia one day.
Favorite animal: Cats. In every form.
Your favorite book or movie, and why: Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones because the characters and their interactions are wonderful and feel authentic. Plus there is a lot of wit and imagination to the book and it just cheers me up to read it.
A favorite quote or song lyric: "The art of losing isn't hard to master;/so many things seem filled with the intent/to be lost that their loss is no disaster." - from One Art by Elizabeth Bishop.
What you want to do for a living?: I'd love to be a writer, but I would also be happy being an interpreter or an editor. Anything that allows for creativity and involves expression.
Favorite Clamp Character? Why?: This is hard, but I'm going to say Syaoran. I think it's the combination of determination and a kind-but-just heart. And he's adorable.
Least favorite Clamp character? Why?: Probably Kaho. I don't hate her, but she got on my nerves a little in the first season of CCS. I liked her much better when she reappeared, though.
Favorite Clamp pairing and why? Sakura/Syaoran. Partially because it's my first CLAMP pairing ever. But I also think it's because I'm a romantic and an idealist at heart and their devotion to each other is wonderful. I think it's the first pairing I encountered where it was evident that the two loved each other wholeheartedly. Also, I am a sap.
You find the journal of one of your friends that was left at your house. What do you do?: Call them and let them know they left their journal. Then put it somewhere safe until they could pick it up. I'm not going to read someone's journal without their permission, you know?
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?: Teleportation. Just because it'd be really convenient to get around. That and I could leave at a moment's notice if a situation turned bad.
If you were stuck on a desert island and could pick five things to bring, what would they be?: A good book, sunblock, a knife, a tent, and something to filter seawater.
Likewise, if you could have one Clamp character with you on the desert island, who would it be?: Kurogane because he probably has some decent survival skills and he seems pretty trustworthy. That and we probably wouldn't kill each other. Probably.
Anything else?: Nope.
Clamp series you know: Angelic Layer, Card Captor Sakura, CLAMP School Detectives, Magic Knight Rayearth, Tsubasa, xxxHolic.
Because the mods are curious, where did you hear about us?: I found this community via interest search. But I think I initially saw it on an affiliates list somewhere.
Pictures and/or Describe Yourself: Short, fat, medium-length brown-blond hair, very fair skin, longish face, brown-green eyes, very faint freckles.
