I've been for a walk on a winter's day~
THE BASICS
Name: Panny
Gender: Female
Stamped As: Canada, eh~
ABOUT YOU
Likes: Anime/manga (especially works by CLAMP =w=), music (particularly older jazz and blues and classic rock), a really good piece of literature, British humor, a good cup of tea, Italian food, accents, writing, a good discussion on sociology, learning about genetics, sewing, acting, wood work, working lights/sound for a production, Commedia dell’arte, the name “Xerxes”, mythology, horror films, sleeping, etc.
Dislikes: Coffee, alcohol (never had a taste for it D;), being too hot, bananas, deadlines, word limits, lots of noise, chlorine, pink, shipping wars, make-up, when people sugar-coat things when I ask for their opinions
Introverted or Extroverted?: Oh, it really depends. DX It tends to switch with my mood. =w= Sometimes I prefer to just be left to do my own thing and don’t really want to talk to anyone, other times I'll just run up to people and randomly bug/glomp them. It also depends on your perspective. As far as drama kids go, I'm one heck of an introvert, but normal people tend to think otherwise.
Rational or Emotional?: Bit of both? I tend to think things through and thoroughly analyze situations, but I also tend to have strong emotional reactions to things - it’s just been a matter of learning to suppress it so that my rational side remains dominant. However, if things get to a certain point, rational definitely won’t win.
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: Again, a bit of both? D; Like the introvert or extrovert thing, it can easily change depending on my mood, but for the most part, I tend to look at things from a pessimistic perspective, but maintain an optimistic attitude…if that makes any sense?
Dominant or Submissive?: Gah, another one where I’m in the middle (sorry to be such a walking contradiction, guys). It depends on with who, I guess. I mean, I like to be in charge and I do really well in a leadership position…I enjoy doing the organizing and working with other people and motivating them…but I also have my more submissive side. There are a lot of times where I’ll just go with the flow and value someone else’s preferences over my own. I also tend to like being the more submissive partner in a relationship…
Large Groups or Small Groups?: Small groups, preferably. I mean, I don’t mind large groups, but small groups are usually more intimate and comfortable.
Cautious or Impulsive?: I guess more cautious? I tend to think things through and I’m definitely wary of the consequence of my actions.
Pet Peeves: Homophobia (I know that’s a pretty general thing to throw in with my pet peeves, but if you want to get me really angry really fast, one of the easiest ways is to make a derogatory comment about gay people - same would go for racism and sexism too, but I find myself running into homophobia more often than those two as of late), people who show no commitment to group work, people who don’t even try and then wonder why they do poorly, anyone who classifies something as “easy” without seriously trying it themselves, when people say “no offense” and then follow it with something intentionally offensive, people who try to push their religion on to other people, etc.
AND A LITTLE MORE~
Do you believe in spirits or ghosts?: While I never rule anything out, I don’t actively believe in them, no.
What is your favorite season and why?: Fall~. I enjoy the changing leaves and I like it when it’s just cold enough to be jacket weather - the air’s so crisp and clean. =w=
You're at war! Do you take the enemy head-on with full force or lay back and take time to tactically move your forces?: I’m a strategy, girl, I must say. Head-on with no planning has never been my way.
The enemy has the advantage and you're about to lose! Do you seek help from other nations, continue fighting alone, or give up and surrender?: Well…I don’t see the logic in not seeking help in that situation. There’s nothing wrong with asking other for assistance if you’re having problems.
Huzzah! You won the war! What's the first thing you plan on doing now that there's peace?: Umm…I guess it depends? I mean, how badly was the economy affected by putting funds into the military for this war? Did it cause friction among different segments of the population within the country? What kind of damage did I take that needs to be dealt with? Just because we’re not fighting anymore doesn’t mean I get to rest.
You have to be transported to a deserted island! Oh no! You're allowed to take three items; what are these items?: …Can I take a boat? Okay, okay, I know - that’s cheating. Well, a lighter or a pack of matches or something to light a fire because I’d be completely useless at it otherwise. A knife because I can think of several things I would need that for. A bowl or something so I can collect and boil water. As much as I’d like to take my favourite book or something to keep me entertained, looking at this practically, I’d probably be far more appreciative of having a few things to help me survive. And I won’t even consider anything electronic because it only stands to reason that there’d be electricity, service, etc. on a deserted island.
Are you okay with have same gendered parents, or would you rather they were male and female?: I’m absolutely fine with same gendered parents if that’s the way it works out.

Anything Else?: Ummm…I don’t know. XD Apparently I’m good at giving advice and making people feel better, if you ask my friends. As previously mentioned, I’m a bit of a walking contradiction - I’m way too nice for my own good one minute and the next I’m a bit of a giant beesh (but in a well-meaning sort of way). If I like you (as a friend, romantic interest, whatever), I will poke fun at you and on a regular basis at that. Crack (i.e. crack couples, crack theories, crack fiction, etc.) is…well, it’s my crack and I will spend hours discussing the logic of crack with someone until it makes complete sense in both our minds. I get hyper protective of anyone I care about.
