Once you do something, you never forget. Even if you can't remember.
About you:
My name is: Blue.
Gender: Female.
Because we do respect the lj code here, are you over 13?: Mm-hm.
How has your day been so far? (Just curious): I haven't even had breakfast yet. X_X But I have seeing if someone will keep a promise to me for today to look forward to. Or dread. Depends on how it turns out.
More about you:
What are your hobbies/talents/interests?: Writing, sketching, painting, and to a lesser extent at this point theater, cosplay, and dancing. I've always liked video games (horror's been shaping up to be my genre of choice for most mediums) as well as music, and I'm trying to learn bass for the sake of my friends' band.
Give us 5 positive adjectives to describe yourself: Clever, loyal, creative, charismatic (to people I don't intimidate or give the creeps XP), reserved.
Give us 5 negative adjectives to describe yourself: Secretive, paranoid, unpredictable/hard-to-read, stubborn, perfectionist.
And what do you think your best quality is?: I'm really horrible at picking which qualities aren't just good and bad but among my best and worst. XP My biggest asset is probably my cleverness and artistic inclination, but as for what my biggest strength is as a person, I think I was told at some point that that would be my loyalty. I don't deal it out or trust easily at all, but it's vicious. I try to be the biggest help and as reliable as I can to those select few I really care about.
And what is your worst?: My perfectionism, probably. I hate doing things wrong or failing myself or others and have had ridiculously high standards for myself for ages, which ends up forming a double standard - if I do end up letting myself make a mistake, everyone suddenly wants me to be perfect again. Also, I hate making myself look like an idiot unless I can make up immediately for it by two hundred percent or more. This also probably contributes to my anti-sociability and impression of being cold/withdrawn.
What do you think draws other people to you?: I'm not even entirely sure, but something does. XD I didn't really make friends on my own - they came to me. I guess they might see things we have in common initially, but again, I seem to have a weird charm towards certain kinds of people.
Your favorites:
Books: His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, assorted Stephen King.
Movies: West Side Story, Romeo + Juliet, The Last Unicorn, The Court Jester, The Lion King...
Music/bands: Tegan and Sara, Garbage, Queen, Pink Floyd, Billy Talent, Alanis Morissette, Moby, AFI, the Killers.
Animals: Spiders.
Quotes/sayings/lyrics: ...I'll be stretching this out with favorite lyrics all day. X_X There are way more than this, but let's make me keep it brief.
"I feel like a fool, so I'm going to stop troubling you
Buried in my yard, a letter to send to you
And if I forget, or, god forbid, die too soon,
I hope that you'll hear me, know that I wrote to you." - Soil, Soil
"Hard-hearted, don't worry, I'm ready for a fight
Unnerved, the nerve, you're nervous -
Nervous that I'm right." - Sentimental Tune, both by Tegan and Sara.
Are you more...
Introverted or extroverted: Introverted.
Confident or shy: In myself, or just socially? Erm. X_X I'm confident in my abilities, at least where it matters to me, but I'm competitive, a perfectionist, and occasionally I have an inferiority complex. I like to impress and know I've done well, but honest gratification doesn't always come easily, and I tend to act modest/underrate myself to embellish my friends as opposed to myself even if it stings while I'm doing it. And in the social way, I'm more inclined to call myself reserved than shy.
Kind or selfish: Kind, I'm told in spite of an ambiguous exterior, especially towards those I seriously like. We can all have selfish tendencies, but I always end up regretting it if I try to do anything for my own profit at a friend's expense.
Optimistic or pessimistic: I consider myself more of a realist, but the fact that I can be paranoid and cynical probably turn me into a little of a pessimist.
Mature or immature: I'm told I'm mature for my age, but I can have immature tendencies.
A leader or a follower: I'm more inclined to follow people I really, really like and/or really, really trust, but in general I don't attach myself to heirarchy, at least conventionally. My brain will place people I dislike/distrust below me, people I admire above me, people I like/trust as equals, and crappy set authority figures as disregarded.
Impulsive or cautious: I can tend toward both on extremes. X_X It all depends on the situation.
Disorganized or systematic: Systematic in action and personal plans, infamously disorganized otherwise. XP
Mr. Miyazaki:
First Miyazaki movie you saw? How old were you and did you like the movie then?: I think it was Kiki's Delivery Service, and I was, like, four. XD I can't remember what I thought about it, but I probably liked it.
Favorite Miyazaki movie?: God, probably Spirited Away or Castle in the Sky. @_@
Least favorite Miyazaki movie?: ...Nausicaa. Sure, Grave of the Fireflies is depressing, but it's historical fiction. I can't get over how bleak the whole completely poisoned post-apocalyptic wasteland setting is.
Favorite character from a Miyazaki movie?: Difficult to choose. I'll just say for now I love pretty much the entire cast of Howl's Moving Castle. XP
If you could magically become one character out of a Miyazaki film for one day, who would you want to be?: Definitely Haku. Who wouldn't take a chance to be a part-time wizard, part-time dragon? Flying like the wind has got to feel amazing.
Would you prefer a same gender stamp or all that's listed?: Anyone goes.
Anything else you feel like adding while you're at it?: Not that comes to mind.
