01. Name: XiXi (pronounced CiCi, like CiCi's Pizza)
02. LJ Username: from_elysium
03. How did you find out about the Percy Jackson series?
I found them on my younger brother's bookshelf, and I'd been a huge Greek mythology buff since I was nine years old. So of course, I had to check them out, and I wasn't disappointed. :D
|THE ORACLE|
04. What do you wish to accomplish in life?
Well, the track I'm set on right now is to be a business attorney one day, but I'd really love to be a published author too (it's a dream I'll keep pursuing no matter what). We'll see how things play out.
05. What type of magical object would you like to have?
Something that freezes time. I think this every morning when I'm lying in bed, wishing I had an extra ten minutes before class.
06. What makes you like or dislike a person?
I like people who are funny and outgoing. I like confident people because they're more positive to be around. I dislike people who do not have a sense of humor or think they are better than I am.
07. Are you a leader or a follower?
I tend to take leadership roles, because I trust myself more than I trust other people in getting things done. On the other hand, if there is someone who is a forceful leader, I don't have problems following, but I have to think they are better than I am.
08. What would you consider your fatal flaw?
I care a lot about what people think, so sometimes, I catch myself sucking up to people, simply because I don't want them to have a bad opinion of me. So I'm a little sensitive and easily manipulated.
09. What do you think are your top five best qualities?
01. I'm a pretty forward-thinking person. I don't like past mistakes drag me down. You learn from them and move on.
02. I'm very determined. When I have a goal, I don't let up, whether it's auditioning to get into a band, shooting for publication, or wanting to be best in the class.
03. I listen. I'm not one of those people who is trying to think of what to say next while you're talking. I enjoy listening to people's problems and helping them through. I try really hard to give balanced advice.
04. I'm loyal. I definitely don't like it when others bash on my friends, and I forget grudges at the drop of a hat.
05. I'm mostly optimistic. I have ways to work through stress and keep positive. I don't stress about the future, because I am one of those people who believes I have a grasp on what happens; fate is not tossing me around.
10. What do you think are your top five worst qualities?
01. I'm super non-confrontational. I don't like bringing up problems, even if they're really, really bothering me, which can lead to pent-up feelings.
02. I always think the grass is greener on the other side! I'm easily jealous of things I don't have.
03. I am a gossip whore. I like to hear gossip, even when it has nothing to do with me.
04. I am the biggest procrastinator on the planet. I would save so much time if I didn't always push things off.
05. I'm shy around new people, but really loud around people I know. This kind of makes it hard to meet new people, because I come off as aloof.
|THE SERIES|
11. Who is your favorite character in the Percy Jackson series?
Percy. I rarely like the main character best, but this is one of my exceptions.
12. Who is your least favorite character in the Percy Jackson series?
Ethan. I am not a fan of backstabbers.
13. If you could spend a day with one of the Percy Jackson characters, who would you choose and why?
Percy. He seems like such a cool guy, who could definitely keep me entertained, and he would make a loyal friend.
14. What is something you would change about the series?
I wish Thalia wasn't under a statue when Luke died, but that's pretty much it.
15. What is something you would never change about the series?
The flaws of the gods. They are so fabulously true-to-life and modern.
16. Which god do you feel the least likeness towards?
Either Hera, because she's two-faced; or Artemis (she's my favorite goddess in real mythology), because her prejudice against all males is kind of off-putting, although she seems to have given Percy a chance in the end.
