Favorite Quote? Why does it have significance to you? "Am I a man who dreamed I was a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming I am a man?" - Chuang-Tzu
"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." - Emiliano Zapata
The first reflects my philosophical side. Similar questions have plagued me since I was a child, and though I'll probably never find the answers I can't stop thinking about it. The second quote is basically what I try to live by. Never give up. Never surrender.
Likes: Ancient civilizations, rain, anime, acting, sarcasm, fantasy, magick, philosophy, psychology, writing, mythology, vampires, manga
Dislikes: Ignorance, stupidity, not having control, smokers, stereotypes, homophobes, bright lights, crowds, being the center of attention, china dolls
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Why? Reading or writing. I've loved stories since I was a toddler, listening to my grandpa read anything from gory mysteries to stock quotes. I was reading the Lord of the Rings when I was 5. I suppose it's because when I read, or write, I get so lost in the story that nothing else seems to exist. I love that feeling of entering another world and becoming someone I'm not.
Who do you look up to as a model for how to live your life? Why? I can find something to look up to in most people, but I don't have one specific role model. I don't want to be like anyone but myself.
Your best quality? Why? My loyalty. When it comes to the people I care about, I would stand by them through anything and do anything for them. I'd die for them. I'd kill for them.
Your worst? Why? I don't trust easily. I hide my thoughts and feelings and push people away, leading people to see me as cold-hearted when I'm really not.
The world's not a perfect place. What would you want to change about it? Why? Raise the average human intelligence to somewhere above that of pudding.
You're not perfect, either. What would you change about yourself? Why? I have an anxiety disorder. I suspect more than one. Panic attacks, agoraphobia, social phobia, a host of fun little fears that make everyday tasks a challenge. So if possible I would love to be rid of it.
Do you believe in people? Certain ones, sure. In general? I'm not that stupid. Humanity is fairly vile and mostly worthless.
In yourself? It depends. I waver from supreme confidence and arrogance to paralyzing insecurity.
If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why? I don't know... Dark I suppose, for the opportunity to pick his brain apart (not literally -_-). Or Krad, just so poor Satoshi could have a break from dealing with him.
Anything else? It's very hard for me to get close to people, but if you can earn my friendship it's yours for life. One of my defining traits is probably my loyalty. I would gladly kill to defend my friends and family. On the other hand, I couldn't care less about strangers. I actually rather enjoy seeing them suffer. Among my friends, I take on the double role of protector and therapist; whenever they need to talk I'm the one they come to. At school, I'm known as the weird scary lesbian who does free tarot card readings at lunch.
