"All art is an imitation of nature." -Seneca
Basics
Name: Faye
Age: Sixteen
Location: Southern California, but I'd rather live somewhere rainy and cold like Britain(:
Likes: History and sewing historical clothing, Lord of the Rings, movies, fashion, writing, reading...
Dislikes: When the clasp of someone's necklace comes forward, dog/cat hair on my clothes (but that's what I have to deal with when I have wonderful pets ^_^ ), spiders and creepy bugs in general,
Positive adjectives to describe yourself: Optimistic. I adore affection - I'm a lover! I have a childlike view of life - I'm easily amused and almost always happy, because I appreciate the small, everyday joys in life. (The rest are what others say about me, because I feel like I'm being boastful if I go on and on about myself - so I asked friends!) Good judgement of other people's character. Radiant. Intelligent. I learn quickly if something interests me; apparently, I even learn quickly if something doesn't interest me.. (Who knew?)
Negative adjectives to describe yourself: Trusting. I forgive easily (these two could be good or bad, I guess). I can be selfish, but I've learned to stop and listen to the people around me.
Hobbies & Interests: Sewing, watching any of the LOTR or Narnia movies, sewing :D, learning,
Optional Pictures:
^my halloween costume, which is something I made (everything I'm wearing except the shoes was made by me) :D yay!
Favorites
Color: Buttercup yellow.
Movie: All Lord of the Rings, all Narnia movies.
Music: Alternative/Indie/Folk. My favourite artists are: Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, and Bright Eyes. I also like older music like The Andrews Sisters and (!!) Frank Sinatra!
Novel: All Lord of the Rings - or J.R.R. Tolkien, in general.
Animal: Sheep - they're so fluffy and cute! Foxes, there's something so majestic and mysterious about their intense cunning and intelligence. And I adore horses(:
Fragrance/Scent: I love the smell of rain on the air. Any natural smell is amazing - earth, a burning campfire, evergreen trees.
Quotation/Lyric: The lyrics from Face in the Clouds by Gaia Consort.
This or That
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Optimistic.
Realist or Idealist: Idealist.
Light or Dark: Light.
Introverted or Extroverted: Honestly, I'm not more one than the other, so BOTH!
Calm or Chaos: Calm.
Intuition or Logic: Intuition.
Personal
Hopes, dreams, wishes for the present and future: To live in the English countryside writing fiction when I don't have a movie to design for(:
What is your ultimate dream to achieve?: To become a professional costumer and design costumes for movies.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned?: Not to take life or the people you love for granted; I've realized how precious life is when my disease almost took my own a few times, and when I thought my dad was sick :(
Something you admire/love/respect: Anyone who's defeated a disease, or who has a disease but doesn't let the disease have THEM.
Something you detest greatly: People who hold prejudices and don't have a reason to hate a person or group. Hate and bigotry is totally avoidable, and totally unnecessarily - there's just no real way to justify it.
If you could have one "supernatural" power, what would it be?: Time travel!
Where do you feel most at home?: In nature.
Do you have any creative talents?: I taught myself to sew, and now historical costuming is basically all I do(:
Where is your favourite place to be, and why? In a forest!
