I'm a HERO~!
It's All About YOU
Name or Nickname: Caribou or Caz, but "that weird girl that likes superheroes way too much" works too. =)
Gender: Female!
What do you LOVE?: My one true love right now is science, I think. For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a vet (large animals like livestock, or exotic ones like big cats), and now I'm studying microbiology. I ADORE biology. I also love nature, especially anything involving large rocks, so the national parks out in the Western US with mountains and deserts with stuff I can hike around and climb all over and explore. I also love farms and agriculture, and this sounds insane, but I like waking up before the sun and working till my bones hurt, especially if it involves growing things or working with animals. I'm also addicted to technology of all kinds, and I love, love, love outer space exploration. I LOVE SUPERHEROES. Batman, Superman, anyone that can beat up bad guys and just seeps badassery, oh god yes. One last also, I adore airplanes and flying like whoa, and am kind of obsessed with WWII aircraft and modern fighter jets.
And what do you HATE?: Relentlessly pessimistic people who always see the glass as half empty, and people in general who refuse to see that life isn't always out to get you. I also can't stand people who think everyone is just out to pin a label on them and be neatly on their way. You need to have faith in your fellow man, man!
Strengths: I tend to be very relaxed and just go with the flow, and I guess I'm good at coming up with new things to do, and am almost always open to whatever suggestions people throw out there. I like to think I'll try anything once. And I'm not sure if this is really a strength, but if one of my friends has a habit I find annoying, or is particularly proud of something that I don't like/also find annoying, I'm very good and grinning and bearing it and spewing praise just to get a smile. I've also heard that I'm a good listener, and I don't spread around other people's business. Don't get me wrong, I love to gossip, but if someone tells me something it usually ends with me, cause I generally think if someone wants you to know something, they'll tell you personally.
Weaknesses: I talk. A lot. About everything. Once you get me going, I will. not. shut. up. Even if I can tell the people around me aren't interested in what I'm saying at all, I'll keep going. I think I try a little bit too hard sometimes to get people to like me, so I tend to exaggerate or make things up to meet that end. There are certain people in my life that I care very, very much what they think about me, so I'll constantly go to them for validation of some kind or another, just to know that I'm not a total screw-up. Also, I tend to fish for compliments, cause I'm very good at putting on a confident face, and normally I genuinely am a rather self-assured person, but I'm always plagued with feeling like I'm the less experienced, less mature, generally least wise person in any group I happen to be in. Lastly, I'm sort of obsessive when it comes to my weight, and I'll stuff my face with terrible stuff, then go on healthy eating and workout binges, then swing right back around (but not like eating disorder-ish, just "Bah this day sucked I need biscuits and gravy!" self-indulgence kind of thing).
Hobbies: Doing science, haha, I work in a lab and finally got to start my own research project! I also love being outside, so I'll go for runs or walks along the river. Normal stuff includes reading (sometimes), playing video games like whoa (violent, bloody, lots of machine gun zombie-killing action), and cooking, lots and lots of cooking.
Favorite Color: Green, aqua-ish blues... anything bright!
What is your favorite food?: Spicy stuff (especially Cajun!), red meat (mmm, cattle), soft-shelled crabs, coffee coffee coffee, brown pop, watermelon, oranges, corn bread, fast food... I just love to eat. =3
Favorite Country (without taking Hetalia into consideration): Australia! One of my best friends lives there, first of all, but mainly I want to go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef and go camping in the Outback. That place is beautiful!
Mature or Childish?: Childish. I have my moments where I can be an adult, but the situation usually has to really call for it. I honestly don't know how the world let me get to 19. They should've stopped me at 15 and waited a few years for me to catch up.
Would you prefer to lead or follow?: I used to say follow, but since going to college I say lead. I sort of have leadership roles thrust upon me and tend to adapt pretty well. I don't necessarily like being the center of attention, but I loathe being ignored.
Let's Talk HETALIA
Favorite Character and WHY: America, because... lookit his face and tell me he's not the most amazing sonuvabitch you've ever seen. England, because I adore the thought of him being all pirate-y and sailing around kicking ass. Denmark and Prussia, because I want them to be the brothers I've never had. Spain because he's mothereffing Spain, and Romano because you can't like Spain without South Italy.
Is there a certain strip that really sticks out for you?: All the Revolutionary War strips, and all the ones with young America, because I am an absolutely sucker for that baby-face, and papa!England makes my life.
Hamburgers or Tea OR MAPLE SYRUP?: BURGERS, GOD, YES. Smothered in mayo, globs of melting cheese, ketchup, lettuce, the works, and stacked so high you can't fit your mouth around it.
Who dresses the best in the series? ♥: America. Two words: bomber. jacket. That glorious, glorious mofo.
America/Alfred wants to watch a scary movie! Which one would you pick?: 28 Days Later, fuckyes. Anything with screaming, rip-you-apart-while-you're-flailing-to-survive zombie action. Yes, please.
How about a favorite ship/couple?: USUK like burning. Also, Spamano, Denmark/Norway, and for some unfathomable reason, Prussia/Austria.
AND A LITTLE MORE~
Do you believe in spirits or ghosts?: Yes! Of course I do. =3
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'd probably charge full ahead while have super-secret meetings going on in the background full of talk about tactics and strategy, so when you think we're beat - HA - it was all part of the plan, bitches, now bend over cause all your vital regions are belong to us!
You have to be transported to a deserted island! Oh no! You're allowed to take three items; what are these items?: A machete (because really, I'm American, everywhere I go I'm packing =3), an entertainment system, and a portable generator. Cause that's how I roll.
Please describe how you look or share a picture if you have one: Tall-ish for a girl (around 5'7, dunno how many cm's that is), kinda lean but maybe on the chubby side, greenish blue eyes, super-curly dark brown hair that's just below my shoulders, dimples, glasses, and a surprising lack of freckles for how much time I spend in the sun.
Any final words?: I'm so sorry you had to read my ranting. I love you all!
Would you be so kind as to link those surveys you voted on before posting this?: Uno!, Dos!, Tres!
Oh, can I see your vital regions?: Make me a sammich, and then we'll talk. ^_-
