Room 707
The Basics
Name: Lish or Liz. I like Lish better. But I'll beat the crap out of anyone who calls me Lish when I don't like them.
Age: Sixteen.
Describe the meaning or significance in your username: The words "Pharmacy keys" are lyrics from a song covered by A Perfect Circle. I had to change it to "kees" because "keys" was taken, I believe. I just liked the song a lot, and the words sound nice together, to me.
Favorite color: Green. Pretty much any shade of it, but I generally love olive green.
Do you give orders or simply follow what's given to you? I give orders a lot. I seem to be put in charge most of the time, even if I don't take the initial lead. I don't like being bossed around, anyway.
Is the glass half full or half empty? There is no glass, only reality. What's in the "glass" is what we put in it.
Your favourite drink is? Green tea. Usually iced, but I like it hot when winter comes around.
Smoking. Yes or no? I don't, but sometimes I get tempted to. I like how it looks. If I did smoke, I'd smoke menthol or clove cigarettes, probably.
Scraping the Surface
What are your interests? I like to make my own clothes and read. I also like to do pretty much anything creative. I have great interest in music and politics. As well as history. I have a hard time sitting still, so I like to go downtown (Chicago) a lot.
What are your pet peeves? Pretentiousness, lying, hypocrisy, arrogance, etc.
What are your hobbies? Special talents? Making clothes, I suppose. I wish there were other things I was good at, though.
Your strengths lie in… and why? My strengths vary.A big one is my independence. My parents usually neglect me because my brother needs more help than I do, and because of that, I do a lot on my own & like being alone. I'm also a strong person when it comes to difficult times. I've been through the death of two grandparents, my brother has learning dissabilities, my dad had to go to the hospital 3 times last year, & we had a house fire and couldn't live in our house for about 4 months. It takes a lot to make me cry and I try to be the person who picks up the pieces and stays strong.
Your weaknesses are… and why? A big weakness for me is probably my addiction to change. I like to discover new things and I love to go out. I'm not fickle, necessarily, I stick to my convictions & I'm extremely opinionated & loyal. But I get bored of things pretty easily. I'm far from jaded, though.
Digging a little Deeper
Who do you admire (whether it be fictitious or real life) and why? A lot of people. Most of all, Shirley Manson. She made it in the world and has probably the best voice of any female singer currently out there.
What do you look for in a friend and why? Honesty & independence. I also love uniqueness. I have a hard time being around someone who isn't interesting. I can't stand backstabbers, either. If I get stabbed in the back, I withdraw from the person quickly.
If you were in a rock band, which position would you play and why? Lead singer or keyboardist. I love to sing and I love the passion that goes with it, but I can also play the keyboard, so it could be either.
How would your ideal room/apartment look like and why? I want a loft. I want it to be cozy and I want a japanese bath tub. It has to be in the city because I love the city environment. It would probably be messy because I'm a messy person and I like how mess looks. It has personality. It would have a big stereo system and a hardwood floor so I could dance around to music. It would also have a japanese bathtub because I like taking baths to relax. But I could be happy even if I had nothing. Anything else would just be for fun.
If you were a piece of jewelry what would you be and why? Rings. I have a hard time wearing anything else, I find bracelets & etc. too clunky when moving around.
From the Manga
Who is your favorite character and why? Nana Oosaki. She has a lot of spunk & she went into Tokyo as a strong, independent women. I hate weakness and she has none.
Who is your least favorite character and why? Sachiko. I think she's whiny and I hate how she became Shouji's girlfriend. It seemed too backstabby.
Your favorite pairing? And why? Reira & Shin, I just like how they interact and how he inspires her.
Your favorite relationship? And why? Reira & Yasu, even if it was an old relationship. Yasu just seems like a good person. I can't really explain why else. It just seems right.
Et Cetera
Where did you hear about us from? Randomly stumbled onto the page while looking at other Nana groups.
Anything else you'd like to add? I guess if you need to find more about me, you can look on my myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/lishybewwy ) Oh, and please don't judge me off of my livejournal. I haven't changed it/updated in a long time and it doesn't suit my personality too much.
