Name: Libby
Age: 18
Height: 5'5"
Personality: Oh, dear. XD A telling behavior pattern, I think, is that I like to say incredibly awkward things because I find people's reactions hilarious. I think I have a decent sense of humor (who doesn't?), but I'm out to amuse myself, not anyone else. I have a tendency to brood and wallow when I'm depressed. I'm also highly cynical. I really, really hate stupid people. They get on my nerves. I can be kind of an elitist bitch about it. I dislike being around people for prolonged periods of time, no matter what their intelligence level. ...on the other hand, I feel strong compassion/sympathy/empathy for other people, and often cry over the misfortunes of people I've never heard of. I love reading books and fanfiction that make me ache. I'm opinionated, and will often forego politeness in favor of outspoken defense of my beliefs. (Then I hide in my room for the rest of the day. I'm too much of an introvert to be outspoken for long.) I enjoy debating with people, although I tend to get passionate and start talking loudly. XD I'm usually pretty laid-back, though, and will go with whatever the people I'm with are doing because I don't want to upset them or cause inconvenience, and also because I'm a bit apathetic. ...is that enough information? XD Also I like talking about myself, apparently...
Strengths: High IQ, willingness to defend beliefs, caring...ness (I'm kind of a sap sometimes, really), honesty, singing voice, writing ability
Weaknesses: Immaturity, lack of common sense, emotional fragility, laziness, skewed priorities, ridiculous pickiness regarding food, irrational fear of sharks (sometimes I am afraid of taking baths)
Bad Habits: Biting nails, jiggling leg, answering questions in grunts decipherable only by my sister, drinking too much Sunkist. I asked my sister for her input and she said: "chasing me around the house with knives... eating babies... eating babies is a pretty bad one... coming up with new ways to say 'I eat babies'... drinking my vitamin water..." (I told people at my high school that I ate babies. It provided much amusement at first, but then they got used to it. -_- ALSO, the knives incident was years ago ¬_¬ and another example of my amusing myself at the expense of others' sanity... I was seven, she was five.)
Likes: Singing, writing, aikido, sleep, cold weather, animals (I was going to list my favorites but the list got too long, so -- all but bugs, except I do like caterpillars, butterflies, and ladybugs), anime, manga, teh tubal intarweb, Sunkist, the stars, video games, well-written fanfiction
Dislikes: Dreams, forgetting things, sharks, spiders, stupid people, crowds, coffee, chocolate, hot weather, living in a dorm, the fact that my birth control is making my hair fall out, people who're voting for McCain because Palin's a woman, people who're voting for Obama because he's black, feeling numb
Hobbies: Aikido, writing, singing, reading, video games, D&D... ranting, making mediocre graphics... um, dicking around =\
Talents: Singing, writing (XD), bullshitting papers, lying (usually... and I don't lie often anyway), thumb wars, noticing tiny instances of asymmetry
Interests: Redundancy tiem. Aikido and writing and singing. Also, linguistics, D&D, video games, anime, manga, sometimes politics, college football, fantasy literature
Favourite character: L. Very original, right? I connect with him on a weird and possibly imagined level... and no, I'm not trying for the L stamp, I would be much more subtle. XDD Also he is cute. =3
Least favourite character: Takada... she's just so... ugh, idunno, boring and grating at the same time... I don't know how she manages it. It takes an impressive level of vileness.
Would you use the Death Note?: Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the guts. I'd give it back, if it had been dropped specifically for me, as it was for Misa. If I'd picked up Ryuk's... I'm not sure I'd pick it up, actually, but if I did, and I realized he'd just drop it again, I'd probably burn it.
Who would you use it on, and why?: See above. If I did use it, it would be an assisted-suicide type thing, like in the extra chapter. Except much better-researched, only done after I was 100% sure they wanted to die and their condition would only worsen and without the killing of random people going OMG U SHOULD KILL ME. Also I wouldn't have them die of heart attacks when I could make it peaceful, what the hell.
Do you support Kira?: No. I think somewhere inside Light's incredibly twisted head, he had noble intentions -- in the beginning, before the Death Note and the power trip warped him beyond recognition. And honestly, even had he not become a lunatic, I wouldn't support him. Justice has to be decided by the people, not by one person acting as judge, jury, and executioner -- and his arrogance doesn't erase the fact that morals are in fact relative, and what he decides is worthy of the death penalty might not be what, for example, L feels is worthy of the death penalty. Who decides? They're both of roughly equal intelligence. Light also completely failed to take into account the possibility of rehabilitation. ...::stops:: See what I mean about ranting?
Anything else you'd like to add?: Several. First: I am unaccountably nervous about receiving my stamp. 0___o Second: I want a Sunkist. =\ I JUST HAD ONE DAMMIT. FifthThird: I spent a stupid amount of time on this. Fourth: if you read my app and are thinking "damn, this chick is a pretentious bitch": I'd like to tell you you're wrong, but... you probably aren't. Dammit. Oh well. XD
Pictures!: ::digs through Facebook:: ...okay, these are all from the same event, because it was one of the few times when I bothered to look halfway decent.
And now for something completely different.
Actually, here's another, newer one -- from that unedited photo of yourself meme that's been going around. It's bigger so I'll give you the link instead of the actual pic.
