What constitutes a hero anyway?
It's All About YOU
Name or Nickname: The name's Jess, but there are too many of those around! Call me Silvertipped c:
Gender: Female.
What do you LOVE?: Foreign languages, art, music, horseback-riding. I'm studying Japanese and Swedish on my own, and Spanish in school. I love to draw and, to an extent, to write. I play the oboe and the piano, and mostly just dabble in my own stuff and the school orchestra, but it's something I can't live without. Horseback-riding is the best thing in my life right now, which is the only thing I can say with absolute confidence. xD I ride an Icelandic pony and I love him to bits, his bad habits and limitations and all. I'll talk your ear off about him if you let me, so I'll stop here. I also love to teach people things. I like seeing the moment they understand, and I also love sharing what I know. It makes me feel useful, in a good way.
And what do you HATE?: I hate not being up to my own standards, spicy food(and by this I mean anything that is not completely bland!), um. xD There aren't a lot of things I'd say I hate, I'm a pretty tolerant person for the most part. One of my pet peeves is people who aren't serious about something; if you want something, be proactive about it! Which sounds incredibly lame. But I guess that's a less tangible thing I hate. If you want to do something with your life, there's no time like the present. It's a recurring theme for me.
Strengths: I'm a creative person who honestly trusts and tries to see the best in people. I have a good ear for music (I often play things by ear, without any sort of sheet music) and I've never taken an art class before this year, but my art teacher says she "can't believe that." I have high standards and absurdly high morals, I suppose this is a strength and a weakness.
Weaknesses: I'm prone to anxiety, and have a minor obsessive-compulsive disorder. I either care too much, worrying over stupid little things people say, or not caring at all because I can't make myself. I can't comfort people at all-- if you come to me crying, I'm about as useful as a lump of lead. I'm also practically a hermit; I don't like leaving the house, and I find socializing outside of school to be a bit of a waste of time. I wouldn't say I'm shy-- I tend to be rather self assured, actually-- but I just find it tiresome XD I have enough energy to be "8D" online, but not "8D" in real life, you could say. I also tend to come off way more serious than I am, when really I'm just emotional. I cling to things and put meaning in them, so I'm not spontaneous. But someone the other day said that in the two years they've known me, they never saw me smile. What. xD I also have a tendency of smacking, poking, or cuffing my friends when I'm just joking around. It's (not often) harmful but I was a violent little child and never quite grew out of it I guess :D
Hobbies: Drawing, reading, music(listening to & playing), horseback-riding, knitting and making artsy-fartsy little things with my hands (i.e. bookmarks, notebook covers, those friendship-bracelet things from embroidery thread, the list goes on). I also like to hold "language parties," as we call them, with my friends, in which we nerd over language rules and speak in funny tongues for fun. :D How wonderfully nerdy of us. My lunch break at school consist of babbling in Spanish/Japanese/Swedish to my Russian-speaking friend, pointing out things in respective languages. We fangirl over foreign languages. XD
What is your favorite food?: Spaghetti.
Favorite Country (without taking Hetalia into consideration): Japan or Sweden. c: They both sound like really awesome places to live in and to visit. And they are friendlier to introverts than the US!
Mature or Childish?: Mature, for the most part, though my sense of humor and optimism I would say is childish. Everyone around me calls me mature, though, so we'll go with that.
Would you prefer to lead or follow?: I would rather follow, though if there isn't a good enough leader I would offer if I was confident enough in knowing what I was doing. I only like to lead because I micromanage things so they get done to my standards. As a result, I tend to be "bossy" and impatient and micromanage things. I'm not a good leader. |D
Let's Talk HETALIA
Favorite Character and WHY: Iceland, mostly because his history/relations with the other Nordic nations, America and England fascinate me in relevance to his Hetalia character. That is a terriblly OOC reason, let's try this again. Austria, because I love his piano playing and his stuffiness and strictness, yet he seems like a generally sweet guy who means well. I'm fuzzy with the strips and the anime, actually. I hope that's at least mildly accurate.
Is there a certain strip that really sticks out for you?: I'd have to say the mood-whiplash one about Poland and Lithuania's scars stuck out for me. I guess I just thought about it a lot, whereas the other ones were lighter and less "weighty" to put it that way. xD;
Hamburgers or Tea OR MAPLE SYRUP?: Tea c: I always got distracted and forgot to stop steeping my tea, so I like strong green and black tea. *manly pose*
Who dresses the best in the series? ♥: Poland. The shoulder-flap-thing (what do you call it? o.o) just looks fabulous on him, you know it. ;D No really, his color scheme and clothes are just fantastic on him. XD; I also think Taiwan's outfit is beautiful though. All of the Asians have such pretty clothes! But in general I'm such a huuge sucker for military uniform-type stuff in general(and was even before Hetalia), so I love most of the nation's outfits. They have that no-nonsense, military-type flare, anyway.
America/Alfred wants to watch a scary movie! Which one would you pick?: I've never seen a horror movie, so I wouldn't know! :'D Something with a good end to it, if that is even possible...
How about a favorite ship/couple?: Denmark/Norway. It's cute and non-incestuous xD; I do find myself fangirling over the sibling relationships more than true pairings, anyway. But as siblings. XD I'm a bit on the fringe of the fandom in this respect.
AND A LITTLE MORE~
Do you believe in spirits or ghosts?: Nope. But I do find people's accounts of "encounters" with otherworldy things to be interesting despite this.
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?: Hm. I know nothing about war, but I'd lay back and try guerilla tactics. Get numbers down from a distance so when you finally have to face them, it's less of a haul. Also I think an ambush would be a good idea..
You have to be transported to a deserted island! Oh no! You're allowed to take three items; what are these items?: (discounting food and water), my ipod, a blanket, and some rope. I cannot live without my music, and blankets are key if I'm going to survive an anxiety attack of holy-crap-what-am-I-even-doing-here. Or a chilly night. And rope is incredibly useful. And amusing, when you think about it. You can make a swing with it, drag it through the sand, use it as a pully... I'm easily amused.
Please describe how you look or share a picture if you have one:
Because I don't like describing myself. Excuse the fanciness. e.e;
Any final words?: Nope~
Would you be so kind as to link those surveys you voted on before posting this?: en, två, tre!
Oh, can I see your vital regions?: Nope, sorry to dissappoint. ;D
