Name: Heather
Age: Elderly... wait, a well-preserved 31.
Favorite Color: Black to wear, light blue for everything else.
Favorite Food: Mmm, if someone is treating filet mignon, medium rare... if I'm cooking? Mozzarella and tomato salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Ooh, and tekka maki.
Favorite Episode(s) of Fullmetal Alchemist and Why: My favorite episodes are 13 for the sheer Tachi love and the canon leg nuzzling. Episode 37 also makes me very happy, it's a much needed break in the drama and I love the Tachi, so it was great seeing more of them. Plus, that episode at the end where the big guns come out. I forget the number, but I squee every time. Oh wait, because it's the Tachi doing what they do best!
What gender are you looking for? Male... though if I'm very tipsy I'm gender opportunistic... I just like kissing. She has to be "hotter" than I am. I'm shallow in my opportunism.
Likes: Coffee(I spend far too much on lattes), books, cigarettes, my dog, my jeans, going to concerts, writing, OLD movies... usually with Audrey Hepburn in them and cartoons. I don't watch the news, ever. Girly girl stuff like fashion and Sephora. You can never have too many handbags.
Dislikes: Waking up early, being told what to do (I AM the Boss.), conformity, practicality, conservatism, out-of-character fan fiction, most typical American food. Eww pot roast and cooked fish.
Strengths: I'd like to think I'm witty, off-beat sense of humor(snark), physically flexible(yay yoga), generally optimistic, and I'm a creative problem solver.
Weaknesses: I am stubborn, I procrastinate, I'm very opinionated and don't like being told to change. For example, a boy I was seeing suggested that I grow my hair long... I got it cropped into a pixie cut and I've kept it ever since. Yep, initially I cut off all my hair to spite him... thankfully it suits me.
Hobbies: Fandom, fiction writing, my DOG Tino, playing the flute, yoga, road tripping, crafting-it depends on my mood, usually it is "Funkifying Furniture". Yay for decoupage and acrylic paint. I love trivia, I am a font of useless knowledge, but you WANT me on your team for any quiz type of game.
Describe a normal day in your life: After hitting/beating/subduing the snooze many times I stagger out of bed, let Tino dog out, then smoke the first cigarette of the day. After letting the dog in, I make sure all the pets are fed(birds and dog) and hop into the shower. I stay in there until the hot water is almost gone. There is a lot of girly fun stuff in there. I love bath products. Then I put my pj's back on and check to make sure the internet has not disappeared overnight. If I'm working that day, it's retail, so it depends... I get dressed(generally in makeup and matching clothes, in LESS than 20 minutes), leave the house and hit up my local coffee house for a 20 ounce latte with three shots of espresso in it... don't you DARE put sugar or syrup in it. I've been described as a "Coffee Nazi", and it's true. Good beans are RUINED when you put the sweet stuff in there. THEN onward to either sling denim as a wage slave, or to somewhere else, to write and goof off. I don't write well at home. After returning (I've probably had at least another two lattes by now.) I hop on the net again to see what LJ did, if anyone wrote anything yummy, and to see what the "chat room" posse is up to. With Cartoon Network on in the background I'll edit stuff with my beta, and if there has been no creative output, we will all ogle our favorite 2D characters. The dog chills with me while this is going on. When I'm finally barely able to keep my eyes open I'll shower again, and hit the hay with Adult Swim on, and the sleep timer engaged. Then I do it all again.
What traits do you look for in a partner? Humor and wit, kindness, a sense of the absurd and silly. I laugh a LOT, so he'd better too. I'd like for him to be able to keep up with me MOSTLY intellectually, but not be a total smarty pants. He can appreciate that I am both beautiful and smart. Hahh... I've been asked by bad pick-up line, "Is it hard?" "What?" "Being so beautiful and smart." Yes, he should worship me like a goddess... I'll worship him right back. Oh, and he should be tall. I'm 5'9" and so many shorter guys get all neurotic about it.
Which traits do you find annoying? Wanting me to change for them... if you like me so much, well, then why would you want me to change things for you? IT's just cosmetic stuff like that... the "grow your hair" thing... or wear this. Shallow stuff. Guys are not experts on fashion, I am. I'll wear and do what I please. Deal, and know that I AM going home with you at the end of the night. Players... players annoy the heck out of me. Oh, and he has to be nice to "the help". You can tell how a guy will evolve in a committed relationship by how he treats his mother, and service-people. If he's rude to the server, he's done.
When looking for a partner, do you judge by looks or personality? A bit of both. I'm initially attracted by looks, I mean, if I found someone to be hideousI probably wouldn't talk much to them. But having a great personality can make a "below average" looking guy incredibly hot.
Where would you want to go on a first date? My favorite type of first date is where you get to spend it outdoors, no, not in the wild... but exploring the city. Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica and State Street in Madison come to mind. You don't have the awkwardness of "touching" and sitting still, there is a ton to look at/talk about and you can then decide on what to eat... and that is often fun, and TELLING about what a guy is about. Wind up the date at a coffee house, as you can talk and chill out. (I really don't like bars, unless there is karaoke or live music.)
Pick One (For You):
Leader or Follower? Both... I lead by example, but still maintain my own convictions. A good leader is also good at following the right cause/person.
Hero or Villain? I hope I'm a hero, though I do have a naughty streak.
Quiet or Loud? It depends on who I am with. I am very outgoing when I'm in my element.
Extroverted or Introverted? Extroverted... generally people know I'm around and how I feel at the moment.
Instigator or Wallflower? I don't mind sitting back and watching the world go by, but I don't stay quiet for long, so instigator.
Pick One (For Your Ideal Significant Other):
Leader or Follower? Someone with the strength of his convictions, who is loyal to a cause he believes in. He doesn't follow blindly. So a bit of both really. You have to have strength of character to find someone worthy to follow and not do it blindly.
Hero or Villain? Hero, though bad boys can be fun. That never lasts long though. Can he be a "naughty" good guy?
Quiet or Loud? Someone who is able to be the life of the party, and equally at home getting cozy with me. There is a time and place for everything.
Extroverted or Introverted? Mmmm... I do like those boys who play the comedian. Oh, and can deal with his girlfriend wearing a mini-skirt "cut up to there".
Instigator or Wallflower? Again, I want someone who is confident enough to initiate... so instigator.
Other:
Post a picture or two or describe yourself. I am SO SORRY for so many pictures... I am a big ham, and LOVE mugging for the camera.
"I'm going to marry VASH! Vash! Vash! Vash!"
I can also pull off that "classic" Audrey Hepburn look. It's true!
