For Aslan, always.
Hi, this is pretty long, but I want to be accurate, so, yeah. ;)

Describe your personality: I think there's different facets to me, though I think there is to everyone. I'm typically a little more guarded around others, but in my head I tend to see things in an imaginative way.
I really want to be wise, and I always hope to do the right thing that will help everyone in a situation. I tend to be very torn: I value discernment and being able to understand the motives of others, but I also always desire to give people the benefit of the doubt and trust them. I enjoy the company of others, but a lot of the time I just like being by myself or working in the background. I am typically referred to by my friends as a sociable hermit. Of all the historical figures of all time, I relate the most to Joan of Arc. I feel responsible for my friends and the people around me, and instead of defending the French army, I'm always wanting to defend my friends' goodness and virtues from bad influence. This can sometimes lead me to judge others who appear to be that bad influence, and I struggle with knowing when a friendship is becoming unhealthy. In a group, I'm typically the unassuming chaperone, quietly leading people to do the right thing and follow their hearts. I'm never forceful about it though--I can't stand coming off as a know-it-all, unless I'm doing it to be funny. :P ;) guess I have the heart of a defender, a bit of a crusader, but I'm not one that typically likes to cause any form of conflict, though I hope to have the strength to do so if it will bring justice into a situation, especially one where others are unable to defend themselves.
I am a complete geek (I love fantasy, science fiction, folk music, poetry, etc.), can be terribly silly when I'm trying to cheer someone up or make them feel comfortable, but I love being serious, somber, deep, and thoughtful. I can talk for hours with good friends on subjects we feel deeply about.
I want to be a writer who writes fiction, works of theology, and maybe some cultural things (I usually say I want to be a modern-day, female version of C.S. Lewis). I really just want to help people discover the truth in a wise, kind way. I love to try to detach from situations and look at them from all different sides, always trying to rid myself of my own biases and selfishness. As I said before, around others I tend to not truly be myself. I'm a lot more poeticy, idealistic, and vulnerable then I like to let on. I don't really know how people would react if I was that way around them, so I try to find a middle ground. I keep things to myself (everything from ideas and opinions all the way to my writing and art) unless I think it will help them or a particular situation. I'm an INFP, and though I am very dreamy and idealistic sometimes, I do relate a lot to the "prophetic" INFJs. They're probably my favorites. I get sudden, deep, and heartbreaking bouts of nostalgia when I think about the past. I tend to ask for advice a lot, even when I think I'm capable of handling a problem, because I like to hear opinions. I typically stay calm in situations where others panic. I pace a lot while listening to music and I may or may not fantasize about one day living in Narnia, preferably as a queen. :D ;) My favorite thing about Narnia is probably Aslan's sacrifice for Edmund and Edmund's change of heart. It's really lovely.
Strengths: considerate, kind, conscientious, rule-follower, good with words, thoughtful, deep, wise (hopefully?), intellectual, spiritual, silly, forgiving, keep-calm-and-carry-on, creative, fairly expressive, discerning. My talents are writing and acting. :D
Weaknesses: easily torn, over-analyze, doubt my perceptions and discernment, tend to ignore when people mistreat me in favor of keeping a cool head, easily overwhelmed (when this happens I tend to sort of check-out and try to ignore stuff), can become awkward, sometimes feel guilty even when I'm forgiven, perfectionism over things that don't really matter, frustration, procrastination. Stuff like that.
Likes: wisdom, intelligence, kindness, stories (hearing and telling them in every known form), good food, being alone, being with a few close friends, thinking things through, spirituality, smart people that stay humble, poetry, any kind of music that's poignant, poignancy in general, being understood, making people laugh, giving and receiving advice, when people do the right thing, prayer, belief systems, loyalty, the holidays, cold weather, tea, winter clothes, folk music, night skies full of stars, foreign languages, movie theaters, being a geek, libraries and book stores, performing in plays, going to see plays, the Bible, the sea, Britain, big cities, fairy tales, feeling the slightest bit of loneliness, J.R.R. Tolkien's stories, cherishing every magical bit of life.
Dislikes: flippancy, strife, immorality, confusion, bitterness, disloyalty, betrayal, hatred, ridiculous levels of jealousy, bad fiction (though I can forgive it if the author is sincere), shallowness, injustice, human trafficking, self-indulgence, competitiveness, cliques, manipulation (especially adults towards children), cursing, hypocrisy, excessive immaturity, taking things for granted, tuna fish sandwiches, crude humor, Twilight (haha, sorry!), other shallow romance stories, when people get girl/boy crazy, peer pressure, judging people based solely on their appearance, regrets.
This or That
Extroverted or Introverted - Introverted
Idealist or Realist - Idealist, though I try to see things from every side.

What do you value most? - Faith, self-control, wisdom, innocence, virtue.

-book - Oh wow. I always want to say The Hobbit, but I haven't read it since I was nine. I love Narnia of course, a lot of classics, Rosemary Sutcliff's books, um. I really ought to read more because I never have a good answer for this. ;)
-movie - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Long Lost Brother (over the rhine)
I thought that we'd be
Further along by now
I can't remember how
We stumbled to this place
I loved you like a long lost brother
On a bad day maybe I thought why bother
I've seldom seen so much anger in a face
I wanna do better
I wanna try harder
I wanna believe
Down to the letter
Jesus and Mary
Can you carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness?
I don't mean to laugh out loud
I'm trying to come clean
Trying to shed my doubt
Maybe I should just keep
My big mouth shut
More often than not
When it comes to you
You want whatever's not in front of you
Deep down I know this includes me too
Trouble is I'm so exhausted
The plot, you see, I think I've lost it
I need the grace to find what can't be found
Jesus and Mary
Come and carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness.
and
Lakes of Canada (the innocence mission)
Look for me another day.
I feel that I could change,
I feel that I could change.
There's a sudden joy that's like
a fish, a moving light;
I thought I saw it
rowing on the lakes of Canada
Oh laughing man, what have you won?
Don't tell me what cannot be done.
My little mouth, my winter lungs,
don't tell me what can't be done.
Walking in the circle of a flashlight
someone starts to sing, to join in.
Talk of loneliness in quiet voices;
I am shy but you can reach me.
Rowing on the lakes of Canada,
rowing on the lakes of Canada.
Anything Else? - The part in Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe when Lucy runs up and hugs Edmund after he talks to Aslan is legitimately my favorite hug in the history of mankind. Just saying.
