the PERSONALITY
What are some of your positive traits? loyal, trustworthy, artistic, thrist to learn
What are some of your negative traits? lazy, shy, flighty
How do you view love and relationships? blah! I've been burned by so many people - and I don't mean that in a romantic relationships way - people just tend to screw me over. I am now trying this thing in which I try not to care. To hell with everyone. The less you let these people in, the less you'll be hurt. But all that said...you still kinda need someone to love.
What are your some of your goals and dreams? to be happy in life. I want to travel. I want to write.
THIS or THAT (feel free to elaborate)
Optimistic or Pessimistic?both but it seems to be pessimistic right now
Realist or Idealist? again, both
Introverted or Extroverted? introverted
Impulsive or Cautious? impulsive when out shopping. otherwise I tend to think things through before I leap in to anything
Leader or Follower? neither. Im not the type of person someone follows, but I don't follow either. People go with the crowd in the hope of fitting in somewhere, I couldn't care less. I see things my way - i'm not changing just to follow someone.
Mature or Immature? both, swings more towards immature
Selfish or Selfless? I don't like that would 'selfless'. I'm not selfless, but Im not selfish either.
Trusting or cynical? too trusting.
Romantic or not? I can be romantic :)
the HEROINE
Describe your personal style: It's casual. If I wasn't so self conscience I would be out there in flowy dresses and headbands but it's generally jeans and tees
Describe (briefly!) your ideal romantic partner (or if you’d prefer to be alone, explain why): I don't mind being alone. Other people just bring in there own crazy and I have enough to deal with with my own brand of crazy. But that said - someone to spoon at night would be nice. ;) Ideal partner would have to be someone who knows themselves and what they want. Be a film buff and a non drinker as I hate clubs and pubs.
How do you overcome obstacles and hardships? I don't know how I deal, I just somehow seem to get through. Its like the strenght in there inside you and it surprises you when it pulls you through because you didn't think it was.
Where would you most like to live? (this may include houses, locations, climates, etc.) Edinburgh. In a forest. On the beach.
What kind of heroine do you think you would be? I'd be loyal, fiesty and wouldn't take shit off people.
Which heroine do you think you’re least like? Marianne Dashwood. I just can't connect to her for some reason. I'd be more like her sister. Hiding my emotions from the man I loved.
Is there anything else you’d like us to know and take into consideration?
