Favorite Color and why?: I like blue, but I'm not really sure why. I also like green. I guess it's because...they're nice, spring/summer type colors? I don't really like black at all, and that's because it's such a dark color, so...yeah.
Favorite Sport: I'm not really into sports, but I'm good at running. I'm pretty lazy, but I can run fast.
Mature or Immature?: I like to think I'm mature (don't we all?), but I'm sure I have many moments when I'm more immature.
Leader or Follower? Explain why you believe you are that way: Follower. I have depression and anxiety, and I really try not to draw attention to myself. Anxiety has no logic, and sometimes I feel like everyone's looking at me, although park of me KNOWS no one really is. I just like to stay quiet when I'm around people; it's easier that way. That's not to say that I do what everyone else does. I do what makes me comfortable/happy--I just try not to stand out too much while doing so.
Some Thoughtful Questions
If you were an alchemist--what would be your specialty and why? Um...Running away? Really, I don't know. I'm so timid that I can't imagine myself fighting anyone. Could I use my alchemy powers to make tasty food instead?
You have a friend who digs turning objects into gold. S/he doesn't care about the taboo. Do you tell the authorities, join up with him or her, or congratulate/scold the person but leave them alone? Why? I can see my fiance doing that. He loves gold, and he's always checking the prices of gold--he says gold is the one thing that rarely ever loses any value. Anyway, I'd probably help, since gold means money, which means fewer money problems! (We're trying to get out of debt.)
If you could get rid of your most painful memory, would you? Explain why or why not. I've actually thought about this one before, and the answer would be no. Even though it was something very difficult that affected me for years, everything from my past has made me who I am today and brought me where I am today. I'm happy with my life as it is now, and if I erased the memory of what had happened, I might be a much different person.
Answer honestly. Could you kill someone? The very first time is the hardest, most say. Could you look down the barrel of a gun--or whatever weapon you have--and pull the proverbial trigger? If the person had done something horrid to you? If that person had killed the best person in your life? Remember that you'll likely go to jail/get in some form of trouble--so think who you might rather go to jail for too or if it's even worth it. No, I could not. That's not to say that I would never forgive that person, but...I would not kill someone. If it happened unintentionally through self defense, I suppose that would be a different story.
Is there anyone you look up to in your life? And I mean in real life, not anime or movies. Real life (where it is rumored that the three-dimensional roam). If so, who is it and why? If not, why not? I don't really think there is. Sure, there are people I admire for various reasons, but I don't really aspire to be like anyone other than myself.
Do the ends really justify the means? Don’t look at anime/movies/books/etc-because usually, they do. Think of your own life and the real world around you. I would say no. There are personal beliefs and principles of mine that I'm not willing to violate just to get what I want.
Are you pedantic? I had a teacher a couple years ago who told me that my writing style was "pedantic". Of course, then she went over basic sentence structure with a class of college freshmen. I guess maybe I can be a little pedantic, but I don't think I'm THAT bad.
If you didn’t/hadn’t know what that word in the above question meant-did/would you look it up or just wing an answer? I kind of knew what it meant.
Anything else?: I don't think so...
And, lastly, if you want--please post a picture or two of yourself.
Me with my bunny, Smokey, in August '07. I love my bunny--she's like my baby.
I'm a pineapple in Hawaii! June '07.
I really don't have a lot of current pictures of myself xD;
