The Basics
1.Name: Red
2.Age: 19
3.Gender: Female
What’s your ethnicity? Irish, Slovakian, Italian
You
4.What is your preferred position in a band? Guitar and backup vox
5.What skills or hobbies do you have? Guitar, bass, cinema, video games, drawing, writing music, reading, writing stories, drinking, and I'm trying to get into martial arts/fencing (whatever class opens up first)... and Batman.
6.Do you have an addictive personality?(if so, what kind of things are you addicted to?) I smoke and drink. But, uh, I'm addicted to learning and discovering things, and music and culture.
7.What was your childhood like? My dad was very sick as I was growing up, so I had to mature a lot faster than my friends to help take care of my family. He was mentally abusive in his misery associated with his illness, and it caused me to become cynical and bitter. But I mean I had a very supportive mother and extended family, so it's not all bad.
8.How do you feel children should be raised? I think kids should be punished. Kids these days get away with murder and it sickens me. They're too coddled and treated like precious elements. I work in retail and I see spoiled brats come in all the time and demand expensive items and whine and cry and the parents don't bat an eye and just give in to all their demands. It's all about control and moderation. Sure it's great to get your kid gifts every once in a while, but give too much and they'll demand the world. In short, spank your kids and let them touch the hot stove; they'll learn eventually. /soapbox
9.What‘s your point of view on God? I was raised in an Irish Roman-Catholic household, so I grew up knowing God and his teachings and going to Sunday school, but my parents never really forced us to go to church or anything. I clung to God in my depression, but when I didn't need Him anymore, I abandoned church and "religion" and I'm a much more spiritual person now. I love studying Buddhism.
10.Do you enjoy being around people? Depends on my mood - sometimes I love to immerse myself in people, but most of the time I can't stand them. I enjoy studying people (i'm a sociologist) much more than interacting with them. I've discovered over the years that most humans are inherently evil and rarely do things to benefit the greater good, they only do things to help themselves.
11.Are you introverted or extroverted? I used to be incredibly introverted, but as I discovered my true passion in life I became more confident in myself, ergo becoming more extroverted. Alcohol also helps me become much more bubbly at parties.
12.What‘s your self esteem like? It's low, but not as low as it used to be. I'm a realist and I don't take compliments well.
13.How intelligent are you? I used to be SMRT in grade school - taking honors and college classes and whatnot, but then I got to college and realised I really needed to work on my study skills. I'd say I have above average book smarts, and a standard amount of street smarts.
14.How determined/motivated are you? It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm studying a class that really interests me, I work my ass off. If I'm doing menial GEC classes I don't work as hard as I should. I work hard at my job because I enjoy what I do, for the most part, and I liked getting paid.
15. Do you like to shop? And secondly, what do you like to shop for? Not really, to be honest. If I do go shopping, I like to get new computers parts or new clothes, and really only if I have gifts cards. All my money goes back into my job - the double-edged sword of working at a video game store.
16. If you were in a metal band, what kind of metal would you play? (ex. Viking metal, Death Metal, Speed metal, black metal, power metal, etc,etc.) I don't think I can define it down to one word. I like to play a mix of metals, like Parkway Drive, Dethklok, August Burns Red, etc... I play whatever mood I'm in. I also love ska.
17.How do you feel about christain rock? LULZ
18. Would you consider yourself naïve or innocent? Not particularly.
19.Who's your favorite character and why? Charles, because there is so much more character to him than what's shown on the show and he's a fucking badass. I also love doing Pickles' impressions.
20.What do you think about relationships?(both platonic and not) I love relationships and I think they're wonderful, for some people.
21.How are you in relationships?(both platonic and not) I'm the asshole and the comedian in my friendships, and in romantic relationships I have a hard time opening up to people and trusting them. I usually end up pushing people away.
22.Post a set of lyrics you feel you can relate to:(please list the artist and song title)
I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,
I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophes,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy
I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so over-dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy.
Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprecation seems okay,
I never thought I'd make it anyway
I'm my own worst enemy

23.If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Don't know, to be honest. Maybe my weight, but I can change that over time.
24.Your best friend just got together with a total bitch, worse slut ever. Ruins everything. How do you react to this? Let them figure it out on their own after I voice my opinion. If this person truly wants to be my friend they'll apologise or try to fix it, or maybe they're just not worth my time.
25.If you were one of the seven deadly sins, which would you be? Wrath
26.Are there olives in it? Fuck olives!
27. How do you explain the dead unicorns? THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TROLLS
28. Would you like to murder? And if so, how would you go about it? I want to lock all the stupid customers I've ever dealt with in my store and fill it with mustard gas.
28. If you were going to eventually become mentally insane, what type of mental imperfection would you have? Super-Sanity
30.And finally:Which, do you most, can't, the least? Have some mustard 'cause it's Easter in your face!
