describe your personality: i have a very dry sense of humor and tend to be really sarcastic in order to avoid being open with my emotions, but most people know that's just me and i don't really mean half the snark that comes out of my mouth. i'm also rather blunt, but out of honesty, not meanness. i tend to be mostly optimistic. i'm not very sentimental or girly, but i have my moments. i fangirl over everything like it's my job. i am naturally hyper to the point where people have told me never to drink coffee. i'm very imaginative (especially when it comes to writing) and a perfectionist. i like to have fun and laugh. i have immense curiosity for the world around me and i love to learn new things. i try to be open-minded and not judge people before i get to know them (keyword being try). i try to be as non-confrontational as possible because drama is such a waste of everything. i try not to let stuff get to me.
what kind of person would you project yourself to be for the games? i could totally play the "i'm so sweet and innocent and non-threatening, please don't target me" card. i have that "sweet little kid" look about me.
positive traits: i'm happy/hyper 98% of the time. open-minded. positive. i'd like to think i'm smart and i've been told i'm funny (or well, people just laugh even if i'm not trying #_# i wonder if i should be proud or upset?...)
negative traits: stubborn. no patience. too sarcastic sometimes. insensitive. keep things bottled up inside. can come off as a loner.
likes: food, chemistry, fantasy/sci-fi, anime/manga, movies, astronomy, coca-cola bears, sarcasm, philosophy, pop/rock/punk/any-combination-of-those, and errrr... boy, this question is just too broad!
dislikes: ants. writer's block. hypocrites. being hungry. musicals. war. people whose first language is english and yet have worse grammar than i do. people who talk to you once and suddenly think they're your BFFs (and will therefore stick to you until you are forced to be rude to them).
best quality: open-minded, or at least i try to be. in fact, i have the unfortunate tendency to try and see things from the opposing side and play devil's advocate.
worst quality: i can be a little insensitive sometimes, but mostly because i just don't notice stuff.
what do you value most?: my family. i don't know what i would ever do without them.
THIS OR THAT
optimistic or pessimistic: generally i'm optimistic. sometimes to the point of being annoying.
reserved or outgoing: well, i tend to be quiet, but not because i'm shy, i just don't care to say anything until there's something worth talking about. with the people i'm close to, however, the issue is more how to get me to shut up. as i'm sure you can see from the sheer length of my answers in this application.
trusting or cynical: cynical.
impulsive or cautious: when doing things, i think them through. when saying things, i just blurt them out.
adventurous or homey: homey, i think. i'm very attached to my routines.
stoic or openly emotional: i wouldn't say stoic but i'm definitely not open with my emotions.
selfish or selfless: it depends on the situation, i think. there are some people i would help without thinking of myself. there are some people who don't deserve that.
leader or follower: i'm the kinda follower that states her opinion loudly and repeatedly until everybody has heard it and considered it, and then ends up following someone else anyway. i go where the majority goes most of the time. not if it's jumping off a cliff or something but... you get my drift.
calm or temperamental: calm, usually. i always try not to let things get to me or lose control.
SITUATIONAL
a close friend/relative of yours has been selected for the hunger games! how would you react? depends on the relative but i'd probably try and be strong for them. tell them it'll be alright. try to come up with ideas for strategy they can use.
you find a fugitive from another district on your territory. what would you do? i'd probably tell them to go anywhere else, but help them think of how to go somewhere else without getting caught. and then remind them that if anyone asks, they never heard it from me.
how willing would you be to kill if you were in the games? what if it was your best friend? i don't think i could kill people directly-- whichever strategy i come up with, it has to involve me not being in direct contact with the other tributes as i kill them. i don't think i'd be able to just kill them one on one. probably some kind of en-masse killing force like beetee was originally going to do with the lightning. also, i could never kill my best friend or someone i'm really close to. i think i'd rather kill myself than be put in that position.
it's your first day in the hunger games and everyone is gathered at the cornucopia. you spot your weapon of choice right out in the open, but you know there's going to be a bloodbath. what do you do? uhhhh, try and be as stealthy as possible? i'm pretty short and not heavy at all, i could manage to sneak past the carnage somehow.
what would your weapon of choice be? probably a longsword or a baseball bat. something i can just swing around without needing to have a good aim, 'cause i suck at that.
a fellow tribute has approached you asking for friendship, what would be your first reaction? 1. "who are you?" 2. "do you have any food?" 3. suspicion.
you're hiding up a tree when you spot the career pack coming and they're below you, although they seem to not notice you yet. what would you do? stay up there as quietly as possible, and keep watching them to see if i can catch any weaknesses.
you're starting to get thirsty and you suspect that there won't be another water source up ahead. you have no choice but to head back to the first lake you're spotted. would you risk being spotted by other tributes to go back? heck yes. if i don't make it, at least i have a better possibility of my death being quick. dying of dehydration would be too much torture.
your stomach has been empty for quite some time now and you're starting to feel tired from the lack of food. you spot some berries nearby but they look foreign to you. what do you do? all berries look foreign to me! i'd rather not eat strange plants. i might try for the leaves first, actually.
you've won the games! what do you think led you to your victory? knowing when to stay and fight, and when to run. not overexerting myself. outsmarting others.
what's the most important thing for you when you're in the games? FIND WATER.
THE BOOKS
have you read the hunger games? if so, did you enjoy it? i just finished catching fire and will be starting with mockingjay soon. and yes, i thoroughly enjoyed them, CF especially.
what was your favorite part? i loved the entirety of the third quarter quell (that arena was genius, and the escape plan even more). the development of peeta and katniss' relationship. and, for some reason, the moments where katniss, peeta and haymitch act all domestic-y and family-like in their own dysfunctional way; it's adorable.
who was your LEAST favorite character? i don't think i have one, so far. maybe the district 1 tributes... but to be honest i think that's just because of their names... ^^;;;
anyone you prefer not to get? (please limit this to 2 characters and give valid reasons why you're not like them) nope, i'm game with anyone.
anything else? that's a very boring walrus.
