An Eye for an Eye
Name: Alexandra
Nickname: Alex (Call me anything else and I get really irritated. Really. Ally? Umm, no, kthxby)
Age: Sweet 16
Height: 5'4 (Where does that little apostrophe go?)
Likes: So many things. The first things that comes to mind is being alive with all my organs where they should be. I definitely love Diet Coke, MATH (I can factor polynomials all day and not get bored), learning, yoga, knitting, running, tennis, writing, talking (oh, I love to talk. xDD), organization, shopping, makeup, filing interesting things out of magazines in a binder by subject (*dorks* They'll come in handy one day!), volunteer work, new bras (haha), laughing, yaoi, reading, and more stuff...
Dislikes: CHILDREN! (They're seriously awful beasts), being mimicked, people who can't make their own decisions, people who take what they have for granted, IGNORANCE (if people were more educated, I think they would be more accepting of other people's beliefs and lifestyles), censorship (yes, LJ, you tick me off), fast food, people thinking global warming was invented for political reasons (and yes, mom, I am talking about you and your refusal to take global warming seriously because it's endorsed by Al Gore), the government in general, so many more but I'd start to sound mean...
Strengths: I don't think I have any. What's that quote... "Jack of all trades, master of none." That pretty much describes me. I also think I'm very grounded and can see reality well. I know what I like, what I don't, and what needs to be done. I'm proud of that. Finally, I love that I'm very feminine, but still intelligent. It's such a stereotype that "pretty" (I'm pretty in my head. I have that self-confidence, thank you very much) equals stupid (Thank you, Jessica Simpson!). I doubt that's a strength, maybe the self-confidence in my physical appearance (without being conceited) is a strength?
Weaknesses: I have a temper. And when I'm angry, I become stubborn. I also have a problem with doing something I want to do, because I'm afraid I'll fail. (I have no self-confidence in my ability to do things) Sure, I'm alright at something, but can I make a career out of it? What's the chance that I will/won't? That's basically how I think. I don't trust easily and I'm cynical. As much as I love life, I can see so much bad in people and the world. Like House says, "Everybody Lies." Yep. I agree.
Hobbies: Tennis, knitting, looking up articles to better myself or go green or stuff...
Talents: Errr.... I'm sarcastic. So when I'm debating someone and I make a sarcastic remark about one of their points, they try so hard to defend that one point, it makes them look like a fool.... I don't think that's something to brag about... O.O;;; Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm able to drink a whole 12 pack of diet coke in a day. (I've stopped that, but I used to. I think it's a talent in itself to get over a diet coke addiction)
Favorite Color: Yellow! It's been my favorite color since I was little. xD
Favorite Food: This is odd. If you let me, I'll take a bag of croutons and soak them in salad vinegar and eat them. I love it. x.x; It's not healthy, but it's my feel good food. And the macaroni from KFC. xPP
Mature or Immature?: Definitely mature, but I can switch back and forth if it'll entertain people. I like seeing people smile and laugh.
Leader or Follower?: There's a leader, and then there's me, cleaning up the mess of the leader when they screw up or drop the ball (because they always do).
Optimist or Pessimist?: Optimist. Even if people screw up, it'll be alright. One mistake won't end the world. As long as someone tries to correct it, things will be okay.
Favorite D.Gray-Man character and why: How about we change this to favorite pairing? Because I love all of the characters. Really. They're each unique (but if I had to choose one, it'd be Tyki. He's so god dammed sexy. I love how he literally has two sides to himself and can admit that to himself and accept both of them. People normally pretend they only have one side, but that's not true.) My favorite pairing though, is an ot4. Man, I'm bad. xP I love Ravi/Kanda/Lenalee/Allen. Really. I'm horrible. I just love how they all interact with each other.
Anything else?: Errr, I'm sure I sound very mean.... I'm really not! ♥
And reading through this, I don't see how you're going to rate me... O.O;
Sorry it's so long! I write like I talk: A lot.
Picture(s) or very detailed description of what you look like: All the pictures I have are outdated. I cut my hair recently and I've never had a digital camera.... I have an athletic build (but still not tall), greenish/yellowish eyes, light brown hair that's cut just under my chin and it flips out all fluffy like. I normally dress very preppy, in clothes from American Eagle, Hollister, and they're always in season. (I think Nordstrom might be my favorite store.) I don't normally wear any make-up (I just got rid of my acne I've had for 5 years and I'm enjoying that I don't have to wear anything to cover up pimples) but if I do, it's only powder and blush. My skin is light, though I've tried to tan (It doesn't last long...) and err... That's descriptive, right?
