What color matches your personality? Why? Well, according to one of those more common "true colors" personality tests, I'm a "green" (conceptual, rational).
What place(s) do you like to spend time in the best? Why? During the summer, I love beaches and theme parks like no tomorrow, just being outsidem being physically active and forgetting things for a bit is nice. During the rest of the year, my favorite place to be is in my bathrub reading a good book.
Other than Girl, Interrupted, what is/are your favorite movie(s)? Why? The Aviator. Part of it's the excitement and the fact that I am a psych major (double in psych and writing, minor in music! woo!), but most of it is that I just relate to Howard Hughes on all sorts of levels. Kind of sad, but true.
What is/are your favorite book(s)? Why? Geek Love by Katherine Dunn because it's gutsy, intriguing, original, and has a lot of things to say about human nature. It's about a couple who purposely takes teratogens in order to breed deformed children and exploit them in the freak show circuit, and the incest, rivalries, cults and all sorts of general horrors of human nature that occur from this.
If you could only watch one television show for the rest of your life what would it be? House, M.D. no question. Another person I relate to, however sad that is. I am sickly obsessed with this show to the point of downloading stupid little promos and forcing everyone I'm friends with or even vaguely know to start watching. It's hysterical, it's intriguing, it's edgy, it has an eccentric loner as the main character--all signs point to a perfect show, in my opinion.
What is your favorite thing to eat? Mushrooms and movie popcorn (not together, of course).
Girl Interrupted Related
Which character (no matter how obscure) would you like to be your best friend? Why? Cynthia (the "dyke", for anyone who might not remember), because she seems like a funny, well-adjusted person and she can pick locks. ;p
Which character (no matter how obscure) would probably be your enemy or rival? Why? Susanna, probably, because I'm a writer as well, though I have more varied interests than she seems to have. Though, my writing strengths are in writing comical and absurd stories, which doesn't really seem to be her thing, so maybe not. Polly might be a bit of an enemy as well, because I'm not a fan of blind optimism or fakeness.
Imagine that you’ve been sent to Claymoore. What would be the hardest thing to adjust to? Would it really be that much different than college? My college feels like a freaking prison, sorry. Uh, I guess the checks would be difficult. I'm a light sleeper.
If you have any personality quirks or even mental illness(es) that you don't mind sharing, tell us about them!
I have anxiety disorders, and control freak issues. Then again, it seems like everybody else in the world does too.
Digging Deeper
If you knew that you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do?
First of all, I'd have to go tell all of my friends they were wrong about me being too pessimistic or morbid, lol. Then, I'd probably spend all of my money on fancy restuarant food and fling myself at every attractive guy I saw regardless of consequence. I'd definitely spend the night in misery and tears, though. I'm weird.
