THIS OR THAT
(Please provide a short explanation as well)
Optimistic or pessimistic? A little of both... it depends on what I'll be feeling at that time. I'm quite a moody person overall. There are times when I'll be on top of the world, feeling positive about everything and everyone and in love with life. When I'm in a bad mood, I'll just be very gloomy and "life just sucks" about the world in general. In short, there's just no telling with me, haha.
Leader or follower? I'm better off as a follower. I'm quite indecisive and flaky as a person and way too disorganised to inspire a whole lot of confidence! While I'm good with obeying orders and am not completely averse to authority, if there's something going on that I don't agree with, I will speak up. I have my flaws but I don't think of myself as a doormat or anything.
Introvert or extrovert? I'm shy at first but will warm up to people as I get to know them. Close friends and family know me best. I like parties and big social events though, they're a lot of fun. But I very much value my personal space and need a few minutes of 'alone time' every day.
Mature or immature? Overall I think I'm quite mature, I do have my childish moments though.
Violent or peaceful? Peaceful... violence just turns me off. Physically I'm not even capable of using it as a weapon anyway! XD I dislike pointless fighting and war and all that. Whenever diplomacy or words are an option, I say use 'em.
Selfish or altruistic? Altruistic to a fault, unfortunately, if there is such a thing.
Rude or polite? Polite - but only to people I like. I can be a huge bitch to somebody I don't get along with or who I can't stand. I tend to freeze them out.
Eat here or take away? Whatever the circumstances call for.
MISC.
What do you consider to be your one very best trait and why? Umm... I'm very eloquent? That is I'm great with words and have no trouble expressing myself, especially through writing. Argumentative essays are my strong point and I can put across and explain my opinions quite easily. I'm also an excellent speller.
And what do you think is your worst? I'm very lazy and an expert at procrastinating. I'm trying my best to change that though.
If you could change one thing about yourself or your life, what would it be? Taking a gap year before starting Uni.
If you could be any inanimate object, what would you be and why? A book... I think they're the most interesting things.
What element do you most identify with and why? Water. I love the beach and the ocean, the rain, having a warm bath at the end of a long and trying day, an ice-cold drink in the middle of a hot summer afternoon. I don't know exactly why but I'm very much drawn to it.
LOST
Providing food and water is not an issue, which three items would you want to have with you on the island? Please elaborate. A nice long book - War and Peace perhaps as I never seem to find the time to finish it! A compass, because I'm a person that gets lost very easily. And a weapon for protection. I know I said I didn't like violence, but it's difficult to sit down and talk things out with wild boars, polar bears or smoke monsters :P
Which Lost character do you personally think is most suited to be everyone’s leader and why? At the beginning of Season One I though Jack was a good leader but eventually he became so self-absorbed and whiny I couldn't stand him any longer. Locke seems too gullible and is easily swayed, for all his survival knowledge and natural affinity with the island. Ben is a good leader but, well, he's psychotic XD so overall I'd have to pick Sayid. He's calm, self-assured, good at problem solving, has fighting experience, and is patient with people around him. I'd have no trouble following him.
Would YOU accept this position? Why? Why not? No I wouldn't. Refer to why I'm more of a follower than a leader :P I also think I would spend too much time on trying to please everyone.
Which Lost character do you least identify with and why? Kate. I can't stand her character; never empathised with her at all. All that business with Jack and Sawyer! I can't wrap my head around it.
Anything else you would like to add? Brand new LOST on the 21st!!!!!!! XD
