The Oracle totally saw this post coming
01. Name Sarah 02. LJ Username asuka_roses 03. How did you find out about the Percy Jackson series? It was in January 2010 and I was reading a certain author's blog and she mentioned how this amazing book has a movie adaption coming up soon. So I typed "Percy Jackson" into my google search bar and I liked what I found. So that weekend I went to Borders and picked up The Lightning Thief and Sea of Monsters. I've been hooked ever since :)
the oracle 04. What do you wish to accomplish in life? [I want to make an impression before I leave this world. I want to be remembered. My ultimate dream is to write a book and get it published. It doesn't matter if it becomes successful or not, feeling the weight of the book in my hands and seeing my name in print is worth a million dollars to me. I want to go all around the world and visit all the places that I've only seen on tv or read about in books. Finally, I want to get married to someone I love and grew old with him.] 05. What type of magical object would you like to have? Oh that's a hard one! I'm going to have to choose a wand though. It serves many purposes, it's very easy to carry around, and it contains more powerful magic than most other objects, no? I think it's better than just a weapon that only has one specific function. 06. What makes you like or dislike a person? Well each person differs for me. I'd have to say that the most likeable trait for me is being clever/witty/funny. They're also things that I find attractive as well. I like it when I can have a decent discussion with someone or if they can always make me laugh. It's the first thing that makes me go, "Wow, I let's be bffs forever!/Marry me! The least likeable traits have to be the lack of a strong personality (when a person never seem to have thoughts of their own, or when they do something just because everyone else does it. I find that disgusting and very off-putting.) and shallowness. I hate it when someone just writes you off on the first encounter or just judges you on stupid little things. 07. Are you a leader or a follower? Hah. I'm gonna be honest here and say that I'm not a very good team player. So I don't put myself in either categories. I know this sounds negative but I just don't work well with people sometimes. For example if I have this school project and I have to work with 3 other students, I have to be in charge and do like, half of the work. I feel like the project is my baby and I don't trust them with it, it has to be exactly like it is in my head. I realize that this is a negative trait and I'm trying to be more cooperative but the last time I had to do a presentation with a group, the whole thing ended in tears, and they weren't mine. I didn't feel remorse because the presentation looked just like I wanted it to. I ended up apologizing but the teacher has been careful about which group I should be in ever since. 08. What would you consider your fatal flaw? Insecurity. Ever since I was a little kid I've been getting picked on at school. I've changed schools many times in my life and yet there's always this person in my class who makes it their life mission to make me miserable and nitpick every little thing I do. I'm 17-years-old now and I'm no longer the easily broken child that I was before, but I still spend extra time in front of the mirror in the morning so no one would make fun of my hair or something (I could actually hear a voice in my head throwing a nasty comment on my looks and I keep fixing it until it shuts up), I talk a bit too harshly sometimes so people would fear me and avoid trying to cross me, I spend hours on any school work that involves reading out loud/presenting to impress everyone in class. It has gotten better because my bullies aren't in my life and I'm in a safer environment, but sometimes I an still hear their voices in my head. 09. What do you think are your top five best qualities? 01. I'm Acceptant. I like discovering things that I'm not familiar with. New things excite me and I'm more accepting of them than other people would usually be.
02. Witty. I'm the funny one in my circle of friends. People often find my remarks funny (although they could be a bit harsh/blunt sometimes.) 03. Cheerful. I always manage to cheer up whoever is with me. I hate feeling down, and I always play happy songs whenever I can. 04. Resourceful. I'm guilty of spending hours on Wikipedia, devouring page after. I love reading about subjects that I don't know much about and so I ended up having knowing about a little bit of everything and my English teacher looks at me whenever she's looking for a random piece of information. 05. My mom and teachers constantly tell me that I'm really smart and mature for someone my age, this is also the first impression that people get from me, and I love learning new things. Also, Pottermore and most online sorting quizzes tell me I'm a Ravenclaw!
10. What do you think are your top five worst qualities? 01. I'm lazy. Like, the getting into serious trouble because of it type of lazy. I often keep putting important things off until it's too late, and I've tried to change that habit but it's stuck with me now. 02. I'm also really bad at domestic chores, we've had live-in maids in our house ever since I can remember so I can't do my own laundry, iron it, cook anything that's not instant noodles, or clean my room. My mom scolds me a lot for not being able to do any basic chores, since it's part of the reason why I'm lazy in the first place. 03. I also tend to drift off and daydream a lot, I spend so much time thinking that I've grown a few white hairs at age 15 ! It makes my friends worry when I just like to sit alone and doing nothing instead of spending time with them, it also gets me into trouble with my teachers because it keeps me from focusing in class. 04. have a short-temper that I had a hard time controlling in the past but I managed to cool down as years went by. 05. Confrontations. I tend to avoid them as much as possible and I especially hate it when I have to face the harsh truth.
the series 11. Who is your favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Can I pick two? Okay I'll assume you let me pick two. The first has to be Annabeth! I love that she's not only extremely bad-ass but also very intelligent. She's one of my favorite female characters of all time. I even see her as a role-model. The second is Leo. One of the main reasons is that he's exactly me type haha. I like that he doesn't let his painful past get to him. Despite all what happened, he can still smile and crack jokes. I also find the way he can almost fix anything and his fire-summoning power very cool! I wish the other characters would appreciate him more. He's an awesome guy and he needs more love. 12. Who is your least favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Rachel. I'm sorry but I never really liked her and I would cringe whenever she made an appearance. Maybe it's because Annabeth wasn't very fond of her either haha. 13. If you could spend a day with one of the Percy Jackson characters, who would you choose and why? Leo! He's really fun to be around and I would love to spend one day with him. I think that we'd get along well and that we would have a blast together. 14. What is something you would change about the series? Hmm. Sometimes I wish the books where a little more mature. They did become more mature with the Heroes of Olympus but sometimes I felt like I was reading a book geared toward 12-year-olds while I was 15-17. Also I would change whatever it is that annoyed me about Rachel. 15. What is something you would never change about the series? The characters. I loved almost all the campers and I felt like they were old friends by the time I finished the series. I would follow Percy's story no matter where it goes. etc 16. Pick a fictional character from any book/movie/tv show/etc. Which cabin would you place them in and more importantly why? I would take James Potter and put him in the Zeus cabin. He was a natural leader with a strong sense of loyalty, he was good-looking, and excelled in almost anything he did. His main negative trait was his arrogance and his ego. His pride would sometimes make him do stupid things that he would regret later. 16.Sort these words in order of appeal to you: beauty - glory - security - power - wealth - self-fulfillment - freedom. Explain your answer. 1.Self-fulfillment - Being satisfied with myself is very important to me. I wouldn't mind if any day after I reach that point in my life. 2. Freedom - I wouldn't accomplish the first without it. 3. Security - I need to feel safe before attempting anything. 4. Wealth - Money can't buy you love, but it can buy almost anything else. 5. Beauty - I like saying that I'm both attractive and smart at the same time. Seeing a pretty face in the mirror boosts up my confidence like nothing else does. 6. Glory - I wouldn't mind being loved and appreciated, although a big dose of it might go to my head and turns me into a terrible person. 7. Power - It frightens me and I don't trust myself to be in high possessions. 17. Which god do you feel the least likeness towards? Probably Mr.D. He was funny at times but mostly he was just obnoxious. half blood hill 18. Age: 17 19. Location: United Arab Emirates (I'm ESL btw. Does it show?)
