About You
Favorite Color: Red.
Favorite Food: Spaghetti, I guess.
Favorite Song (and why): Asking me that one is like pulling teeth. Right now it's 19sai by Shikao Suga.
Strengths: Quick thinker, smoothe talker, convincing, fairly good at pushing a point until I get what I want. Aware of my own limits, in control of my mind and body - which is a tougher thing to do than you might think. Clever enough to take the time to determine what's to gain and how much I can get away with. Clingy, will remain by someone's side even if it really is a stupid idea. Very accepting, flexible, and forgiving. Sensitive and empathetic. Confident and creative.
Weaknesses: Irrational, quick-tempered, rarely thinks before speaking. An extremely threadbare doormat. Opinionated and can be biased at times. Not fond of change or of trying new things. Bragadocious. Picky. Lazy. Messy and clumsy. Fake. Tries a bit too hard at times to come off as a likeable person.
What you love: Singing, gaming, writing, and occasionally drawing. Walking in the park, winning, finishing things that I start, accomplishing something, making people understand the way I see things. Reading, soda, pocky!, a nice fresh foot long tuna sub on Italian with pickles, black olives, and vinegar from Subway. Swords, animals, pretty people, foreign languages, and adventure.
What you hate: Seafood, anesthetic at the dentist's, aches and pains, stereotypical Republicans, stereotypical people in general, stereotypes, close-minded people, religious zealots, fraidycats, people I can't identify with (although this is more of a frustration than a dislike), making typos, losing, being second best.
Hobbies & Interests: I exude disturbing amount of talent in activities including singing, drumming, playing tamborine, writing fantasy/romance novels, video gaming, and photography. I'm also a pretty bitchin' comedian and artist. Since I have such acute reflexes, I like games like DDR and Rock Band. Also, I make a pretty good makeup salesgirl (and salesmodel). Any time that I'm not doing something involving the above, I'm role-playing, which I'm pretty badass at too, if I may say so myself~ And yeah, I'd spend time laughing at people who get pissed off at my pride, but I'm too much of a lazy ass to bother. Plus it's funny.
Your dream: I want to be a famous vocalist, but... heh. My dreams are a black-and-white silent movie. I don't pay attention to them right now.
Either-Or
Optimistic or Pessimistic: It depends on my mood. Fairly optimistic, with an edge of cynical sarcasm. I say what people want to hear out loud, and say what the truth is to myself.
Mature or Immature: I'm a jackass, but I don't tend to make retarded decisions.
Summer or Winter: Neither. They're both boring.
Morning or Night: Night. Mornings can eat me. So can daylight in general.
Outgoing or Shy: I'm not shy, really, but I'm not outgoing, either. Just a recluse.
Conservative or Risky: Depends. If I foresee a lot to gain on the other side of a gap, I'll take a long jump. But I'm not doing a backflip and risk breaking my neck for chump change.
Lead or Follow: I'll follow if the person leading manages to convince me that they're competent, and that they'll tell me to do things the way I want to do them. Otherwise, I can handle it myself.
Confident or Modest: If you've read this far, you really don't need to ask. Although, when I get bombarded with compliments, I tend to recoil a lot of the time. People lie.
Logic or Emotion: Think with your head, act with your heart.
In-depth
Can you put your trust in people? Why or why not?
No. They lie. They cheat. There are so few people that can put someone else before them no matter what that they're basically mythical. In order for me to be able to lean on someone, I'd have to know that they won't crumble under the force of my turbulent life. Not many can, most don't even try. After awhile, you just think, Why bother? Instead, I latch onto one or two special people and become their pillar, and their pillar alone. No one else. If they decide to break away, I might feel a little colder, but hey. I'm already the support, so it's not like I'll crumble.
Do you prefer working with a group or alone? Why or why not?
Usually alone. Whether you think so or not, there's always a leader in every group. I can't always be bothered to become the leader, and if the lead person isn't my idea of someone I want to stand behind, I won't. I take the time to decide what's effective for myself, and that's how I'll want it done. Whether it IS effective, or whether it's more or less effective than the leader's plan, is irrelevant to me.
Do you: Help people whenever you can; Wish you helped people but walk away anyway; or believe people get what they deserve?
No, people don't get what they deserve. No good deed goes unpunished. I know this. But most of the time, it ain't my damn problem. Unless it's someone that I care about, or in the rare event that I just feel REALLY bad, I think people need to learn their life lessons and get the hell over it. There's consequences for every action, kiddies. Deal.
Do you act on impulse and instinct or do you take time to think things through?
I think if I have time for it, or if I feel like it. Most of the time, thinking an entire situation through takes too damn long, and I just want to get through it already. But I will buckle down and calculate everything when I'm planning on gaining something.
What is your choice weapon and why?
Short swords are my favorite, the kind you can hold in each hand. I also really like shotguns and the occasional pistol.
What is one thing you believe in more than anything? Would you fight for it?
Good things are waiting around the corner for people who expect them. If you look for the bad, you'll surely find it. What I wouldn't give to make more people realize this. But no, I wouldn't fight for it. You can't MAKE people think the way you do... not without totally mind-raping them, anyway.
If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?
I don't need to change anything. Maybe I could lose ten pounds. Whatever. Maybe I could be less of an idiot. Whatever.
Extra
I like playing dress up.
Psst, last one doesn't suck.
