Favourite number is 9, since forever; don't know why.
My favourite type of music is punk rock, but my favourite song in all time is "Now and Then" by Blackmore's Night. I also dig japanese music (and musiciansXD)
My favourite season is spring, because the weather is nicest, and people are more cheerful too, my favoruite animals are wolfs or cats.
My favourite magical creature are vampires, and I like to dress in gothic-punk clothes .
I love films. Favourite filmakers are Steven Spielberg, both Coppolas, Fritz Lang, Hitchcock, Murnau, Lars von Trier, Tim Burton, Baz Luhrmann and the incredible freak that is Kevin SmithXD
And finally, I love books. They're my most precious possesion
Dislikes:
-Bees and similar insects. I can’t really explain this one, it’s something I was born with. Past experiences with them didn’t help, either, because I’ve been bit thrice: in my face, in my armpit and in my groin. Go figure -Weak, pessimistic or dependent people. I'm probably the opposite to them, and I get very frustrated and treat them harshly without meaning to,so I tyr to avoid them.
-Making myths out of people and/or artists/musicians/actors/whatever. I particularly hate groupies with a burning passion, as I think almost any music style has stupid fans and a tendency toward machismo.
-Machismo and discriminaiton toward women.
Old people frustrate me to no end most of the time. Bratty kids, I want to slap. I have almost no respect for housewives under 40 years of age.
Hobbies & Talents:
-Reading. I’m such a geek. I hardly go out, and when I do, it’s usually my friends pulling. Reading has been my life for many years; I have a very high capacity to absorb and memorize everything that I read, and I do so very fast. I like complicated reads, as well as light ones. I read everything that lands on my hands except for romance (except for Jane AustenXD).
-Travelling. I LOVE to go abroad; I wouldn’t say “no” to any journey to an unknown place, and many that I have been to. It’s fascinating and you find in this a richness that’s lacking from everything else in life.
-Writing. It’s how I want to live, so I better like itXD. I love writing for the same reasons I love reading. Though it tends to make me obsessed when I’m immersed in it. I'm veyr good at it, too, or so I've been told
-Discussion and arguing. I love this. My mom hates itXD. I feel enthusiasm sharing my conclusions and POVs, and acquiring new ones (and information) from other people. And, as I’m a VERY hard and aggressive discussion partner, I feel a lot of power while doing it.
I'm a fast learner in anything related to History, Arts and Languages. I have an innate talent for learning different languages. I'm a fast reader and a very good writer. I'm an agressive arguer who can defend almost anything. In spite of being too conceited, people say I have a lot of charm and lead people around effortlessly
Strong Points:
-Self-assuredness/steem. When times are hard and things look bad, this keeps me going. When insults or treasons are thrown at or made to me, this keeps me over everyone. It sometimes breaches the line and becomes my worst quality, but I love it for what it’s worth
-Intelligence. Whatever I am, I’m not stupid. I’m, actually, very intelligent, and been told so by many different people during all my life. I thrive on it
-Optimism. I’m not cynical, or very rarely so. Optimism is the best way to be to enjoy life to the fullest and be happy and cheerful. It makes you able to think the best of everything, and the same quality forbids you to be very sad when you are let down: tomorrow will be better ^.^
-Uniqueness. I know everyone's unique in his/her own way, but too many times people say this about/to me that I had to post it. Many people say that, though I'm a hard person to be around most of the time, for the mix between being generally good at things and knowing it "too much", they still stick around me because I have "something special", there's something about me that screams "not like others" or something like that. As an incredibly conceited person most of the time, I obviously loved itXDXDXD
Weak Points:
-Arrogance. OMG, am I arrogant. And I know it, and I can’t do anything about it. I have a nice body, a sharp mind and a lot of talent at what I do. And people TELL ME. What am I supposed to think? Even so, I try to change it, since it makes my mother unhappy.
-Lazyness. This is bad, because it limits my experiences and makes it hard to work on ANYTHING. I try to change this really hard, but it’s difficult when everything’s so easy to do without doing my best.
-Naiveté. This comes from being so sheltered, and coming from a very exclusive world. This bites my ass when I try to establish romantic relationships, because I feel insecure, and that’s something I can’t stand. Trying hard to erase this one as well, but it’s proving hard.
-Harshness. I'm sometimes harsh to others, even without meaning to. I argue in a loud voice and an agressive manner, almost too agressive sometimes. I'm impatient with weak people many times, and discussing about other people's lives I often simplify things out of sheer frustration with that person
Fears:
-Bees and similar insects. I can’t really explain this one, it’s something I was born with. Past experiences with them didn’t help, either, because I’ve been bit thrice: in my face, in my armpit and in my groin. Go figure
-Death of my close family. I guess that’s something most everyone would have. They’re my strongest allies and I love them fiercely
-Fail at life and never reach any of my dreams. I’m very concerned with success and with transcending in history. I’m creative and I go nuts when I can’t film, write or read and analyze something. I have huge goals and expectations; not being able to achieve them would be the worst kind of thing that could happen to me. And I love the high life, the beautiful people and the comforts of success, the big houses, expensive travelling and rich exotic foods; and of course, I love travelling and knowing new cultures and places. Not being able to know all of them by myself -and not my parents- would be the worst thing possible.
Dreams and aspirations:
I wanna be a screenwriter and/or writer, and I would love to live in Paris in a big XIX century house full of artistic masterpieces and a huge library, and dress up in velvet/silk/lacy clothes
Favorite animal:Wolves. They are beautiful, headstrong, loyal, practical and hard, but their whole life doesn't revolve about another like dogs' do
I also love cats, because they manage to be cute and huggable while being stuck-up jerksXD
Your favorite book or movie, and why: For books, the whole A Song of Ice and Fire series. A Storm of Swords is the best book I've ever read. I'm a hardcore fan of these series, it's so good, so varied, with multiple POVs and wonderful characterization...the story is grim and dark, but it has some wonderful romantic and heroic scenes, and very good prose, and snark lines and the best female character EVER (Arya Stark). Theories and discussion is one of the most interesting out of all the fandoms I've known. Jaime Lannister is one of the best written character development I've read, and his rescuing scene made me cry like crazy.
For movies, The Mission: One of the best films ever in existance; good script, compelling, very unknown, true history, good characters, astounding acting, good direction, very good photography, impressive soundtracks and one of the most beautiful sceneries in the world. It's a touching (but not too emotional) tale about two different men and their different apporaches to life and to certain death, and the wonderful thing is that the movie doesn't side with any, because they're equally acceptable and honourable; they are brought to life by two of my greatest loves, Robert de Niro and Jeremy Irons. What's not to like? By the way, I always cry like crazy at the end.
A favorite quote or song lyric:
"The meaning of life can be summed up in two words: to live"
Others:
-"Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings"
-"Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself."
-“Sometimes, I even amaze myself”
-"You can't have everything. Where would you put it?"
-"Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love."
-"The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple"
-"The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live"
-"A mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work well when it is not open"
What you want to do for a living:Be a screewriter, as I said. I've always loved to write and tell stories, and writing for the screen (be it big or small) is the way to reach the biggest number of people
Favorite Clamp Character? Why?:
I have two:
Subaru is so lovely, quiet, nice, sad, tragic, and his fall from grace is so spectacular, his feelings so immature while he's very mature around others, he is so warm and wise, and oblivious and detached at the same time...his story with Seishiro has made me cry harder than any other story since I started reading/watching anything. He's also one of the most lovely and angsty-for-a-reason characters out there...I have to mention Hokuto as well. One of my favourite female characters ever; I wish we had known more about her
Fuuma is...wow. He's a man of contradictions. No, wait, that doesn't even begin to cover it. He can appear batshit crazy, but actually he's the most subtle of the whole cast. I firmly believe that, while he awoke when Kamui chose, he's always been the Wishmaster, and he's always been hading out to others what they wanted, without realizing it. I also believe he's in it for the good of everyone, and that his wish involves Kamui being happy, or safe, or surviving, or discovering surprising revelations about himself. Fuuma cares, Fuuma angsts and Fuuma has to be one of the most desperate characters out there, what with knowing exactly what he wants (and everyone, and isn't that a one-of-a-kind character in X?)) and knowing the future and not being able to change it, specially regarding his most important person, who can but won't because he doesn't KNOW. His face when Kakyo asked him about his wish...wow. Nothing ever touched me more deeply and painfully. On a more frivolous note, he's very very VERY hot, and hsi fashion sense is top notch. He has chemistry with everyone on screen/page, specially SeishiroXD
Least favorite Clamp character? Why?:Chii. So damned annoying, deprived of a personality, degrading to women, just a pet with boobs. Urgh. Not kickass, funny, cute, witty, or charming in any way whatsoever. Even Chobits drawing style is my least favourite out of all CLAMP's works
Favorite Clamp pairing and why? Subaru/Seishiro, without question. They are my OTP of OTPs in manga/anime, and possibly, the whole world. They just make me cry, and tear my hair (heart) out and my vision blurred so much after Rainbow Bridge I had to go to the bathroom to wash my face so I could finish the damned volume. There's something about their relationship that has trascended time, as they're one of the most (if not THE most) popular m/m couples in Manga History, something precious and disturbing, a balance of opposites and total, hurtful, self-destroying devotion...and ultimately, though all of us loved the tragic end...we can't help but hope that, if for a little while, in some way, in Tsubasa they'll finally have their happy ending
Besides, Seishiro was the first serial killer/raper with cherry blossom attacksXD
You find the journal of one of your friends that was left at your house. What do you do?: I read it, of course. Couldn't contain my curiosity, and I bet my friend wouldn't believe I hadn't read it even if I didn't. Besides, if he/she left it at my house, it's because she/he doesn't mind much my reading it.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?: Either flying or invisibility. The first one is obvious, man's great dream since he was born; I think it would be awesome and liberating if I could fly without aid of anything, I could reach any place I liked by my own and see places and things beyond my reach. Invisibility is...well, possibilities are obvious, seeing, knowing and hearing things not for our ears, getting into any place at any time I wanted...and it's also something liberating, in that people don't stare or look at you at that time, a fate no human can truly escape
If you were stuck on a desert island and could pick five things to bring, what would they be?: Note that a "boat" or anything that would get you off the island is not a good answer XD And your cell phone doesn't get reception, sorry.
A long, light and sharp knife, a good looong series of books (one of which would be about building boatsXD), a dildo (come *ON*), paper and pen to write, and lots of rope.
Likewise, if you could have one Clamp character with you on the desert island, who would it be?: "Sakura, because she could use a flying card" is not an appropriate answer. However, "Seishirou, because it would be funny to watch him go nuts and try to feed the palm trees" is.
Fuuma. He knows everything, specially about wishes. So, even if we couldn't get out, he would fulfill all of them ^.^
(in every sense of the wordXD)
He'd also be fun and witty, and VERY nice to look upon.
Same goes for Yuuko, but I can't imagine Yuuko being trapped anywhere, so if I couldn't get out it would be because she didn't want to help me out (and enjoyed seeing me there), and I would get madXD
Hokuto counts as well, for the same reasons as Fuuma, minus Crazy Wishmastery and more fun
Clamp series you know: Let's see...RG Veda, Tokyo Babylon, X, Card Captor Sakura, Wish, Clover, Lawful Drug, Chobits, Tsubasa and Holic.
Because the mods are curious, where did you hear about us?:Looking for "stamping communities" ^.^
Pictures and/or Describe Yourself:I have no pictures, so I'll have to tell: I’m VERY tall (1'80 m), very slim (56 kgs), with very long shapely legs, small Chinese feet, slim waist, cute butt, medium breasts, wide slim shoulders and long neck. My hands are thin, graceful and little as well. I have mid-back long brown straight hair with a japanese fringe, small brown eyes and high cheekbones. My skintone is golden brown
I usually dress in a gothic-punk-lolita style
