Positive adjectives: optimistic, joyful, empathic, determined, artistic, nerdy :D, intuitive, mysterious, don't care what others think of me in the least, loving, creative, loyal, I can make light of a situation or make fun of myself even when I'm feeling my worst

How do you deal with change?: Relatively well. I've never had to undergo any big changes like moving, and the last person I knew who died was over 10 years ago so I don't remember it, so it might be that I'm not very good with change but just don't know it. I won't deny that! :) Though I've had to deal with having Crohn's disease for seven years and I've always been extremely resilient in that way. It's pretty dang hard to get me down!

Describe yourself in one paragraph: I said a lot of it up in the positive/negative adjectives up above(: Basically just combine what I wrote in there with the rest of what I'm going to say here.. I'm a nerd! Yup, that's right, I just out-and-said it. I'm a total and complete nerd(: I love learning and intelligence, reading and writing, English and Psychology and History.. I'm a historical costumer. I obsess over The Lord of the Rings on a daily basis. I like to dance (averagely) and sing (badly) and, most importantly, hum - I'm CONSTANTLY humming, it's just my little "life music"(: I try to find the good in every situation, and I help out whenever I can. I'm empathic, and strong emotions affect me so that I'll start shaking if someone in the room is in a rage.. I also have a very medieval mindset.
How do you handle problems?: Well. I'm usually the one with a cool head and an intelligent solution if a sudden problem arises (for example, my friend and I had made a dress together for our other friend's birthday, and she was coming over and the last part of it wasn't finished. The friend that was making the dress with me started panicking but I just thought a second and realized that instead of measuring all sides and carefully marking with a pencil we could just measure one side and then use THAT side to mark all the rest. It saved oodles of time and we finished before the birthday girl got there!).
What are your goals and dreams in life?: I'm going to be a writer of fantasy/fiction novels! I'd love to design costumes for films, but I'd be completely content if I was just able to go on designing and making outfits for myself and those around me. Hopefully, by the time I get older there will be a cure for Crohn's, and then I'll be able to move to my ultimate dream spot - Britain! - and live in the country. I'll need plenty of land for my six sheep (they're adorably cute, PLUS I can use their wool for garments!), a goat or two, one dairy cow, and horses (one if it's only me living there, but definitely more if I'm not living alone). I'd live pretty close to a forest so I could go ride through there and explore, and even write or paint in nature. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to write under a pseudonym so that when I use my credit card in the city people won't be like "omg you're that author person!" when they see the name pop up on the screen, since they won't know my real name! I don't want to write for the fame, I want to write to.. well, to WRITE!
What are your hobbies and interests?: sewing (my favourite method is by hand - very calming - though I also use the machine), costuming, reenacting, riding, writing, sketching designs, painting, reading, learning, watching films, listening to great music
With no financial restraints, how would you spend a week free of work or school responsibilities?: Probably exactly how I described my ideal life up there :)

Which of your skills/talents do you value the most, and why? I can easily start up conversations with strangers, whether they're my own age or older (though I usually get along better with adults; I don't particularly like most teenagers). I've been told I make others comfortable. People often tell me their problems or secrets, even if I hardly know them, because they feel they can trust me. I like being a person that others look up to and feel they can rely on, and they know that I'll tell them the truth because I'm not one to lie. Also, the fact that I can bounce back from sadness and illness so that I don't dwell on my bad situations. I love the fact that I always have some humorous comment, even if I'm in the middle of sobbing ^_^
What would you want to be remembered in history for? For being a person that inspired others - who caused children to dream, who reawakened the imagination in adults who'd forgotten how. I want to be an author who was loved for inventing a beautiful world that was a safe haven for people who felt lost or alone. I want to help those who I've never met feel welcome, and happy, and beautiful.
In a social scene like a party, what role would you be playing? I'm with a group of around four people, chatting on and on about anything and everything!
What is your main philosophy in life? How do you prefer to live? I prefer to live however life allows me to at that moment. For example, when I'm well I spend a lot of time going out and to my friend's houses, and to Disneyland. But now, since I'm in the middle of a relapse of Crohn's, I tend to watch lovely movies and read lovely books and all the while I'm sewing lovely garments :) Dwelling and pitying myself is not how I generally act, so I guess my philosophy is just to live a life that makes one happy, as long as it doesn't harm others. I can honestly say that I completely accept and support any and all religions. I have no judgement towards others about how they should live their life and faith, and I've sort of learned this the hard way - I'm Pagan, and we generally get tons of incredulous looks and nasty comments from people who, sadly, know little about my way of life. I'm frequently immediately thought of as a "satanist" or as an evil person when, in fact, I don't even believe in the devil - he is a Christian invention. It's a little bit sad the way people judge others :\
What is the first thing you think when you wake up normally? Roll around and enjoy my bed! I love how comfy it is :)
