Most elaborate scheme to injure someone:
Make them love you and then leave them in the cruelest way possible. To me that is the worst thing a person can do. I personally have never done that, but to me, it’s the most horrible way to hurt a person.
Most effective way to avoid conflict:
Keep your mouth shut. However, I never do, but then again I think before I speak, and I can handle the consequences that accompany my opinions.
---------
Grade Point Average:
OR
Current Occupation: College student (photography major).
SAT score: I didn’t have to take this.
OR
ACT score: 22. The funny part is that I managed to get that score even after answering random answers for the science portion and half of the math portions. That just goes to show how inaccurate standardized tests are. I had a 29 on the English portion I believe.
---------
Your Talent: Photography and making things for people.
You are not good at: Taking people's shit.
Your Political Party Affiliation: I truly hate politics, but I am fully aware that people need to be aware of who leads their country, their state, and their city. The Democratic party has views closer to mine. I agree on a few Republican issues, but the things I don’t agree on, outweigh them.
Why?: I stated my reasons above.
---------
At least 4 pictures of you: [one must be for the sole purpose of showing us what you look like. The others may be artistically inclined.]
Sorry guys, I have a big nose. And no, I am not topless in the 1st one.
I made this for a friend’s birthday:
These are some of my photos. The one of the guy is from a portrait project I had to do for class. He’s my boyfriend by the way.
I’ll end it here because I have too many photos.
---------
Why do you think you belong here?:
I’ve never seen a community like this. I am in a community that’s supposed to be about inner beauty/intelligence, but people that don’t know the difference between: "You’re ugly", and "your house", or "that’s too bad", and "let’s go to the park", easily get in.
I want to be in a community where people truly are intelligent and interesting in every sense of the word.
