THE PERSONAL
Likes:
*deep breath* I like cupcakes, cake, candy, anything sweet basically even plain sugar and honey, I like reading, writing, music of all kinds (and I do mean all), sewing, knitting, and basically creating things in various forms be it fine art or popsicle sticks and glue crafts, I like food in general (especially cereal and eggs) and trying new things, taking long walks, storms, snow, Victorian style items, making friends, ice, my kitties, studying, cleaning, helping, surprises, keeping busy, chatting online, tea, animals, little kids, fashion, makeup, anime, manga, antiques, and tons of other things but most especially I love and adore my friends. More than I could express.
Dislikes:
Black licorice D:, normal sleep schedules (apparently), people who pick on others and/or start fights with them with no provocation, people who choose the easy thing over the right thing, PETA (rawr), coming in second place in any situation, people who hurt others because they're jealous, people who are angry all the time and scream about everything, when I disappoint people, having to lie to people I care about, when I upset someone, when people are angry with me, criticism, failing, and being alone. Especially being alone.
What do you feel is your best quality?:
I guess... that I'm understanding towards people and I try not to pass judgment. I initially am pretty receptive and accepting of other people, even people who have killed others. It's really hard for me not to like someone. You have to be pretty foul for me not to want to talk to you.
Your worst?:
Being stubborn and defiant of popular notions or trends. Eventually I end up interested in it, but initially I'll shun it and be a general brat until I feel bad for being such a d-bag, then I sort of get too curious. I think it's one of my biggest turn offs to other people. Not giving some stuff a chance.
Pet Peeves:
People who eat with their mouths open or the sound of people eating something crunchy like chips or ice, people who burp weakly on purpose especially if it's frequent, men who can't be gentlemen, women who can't be ladies, people who push their views on others, people who can't think for themselves but will firmly believe in whatever they're told, and a few other things like lazy, slobby roomies who wreck the place and leave me to clean it even though I was gone all the time and they were home 24/7 skipping their classes. *eye twitch*
Dreams & Ambitions:
I was going to be a psychiatric nurse, or even just a regular RN, because I like helping people and I figured I could probably help understand and offer acceptance towards mentally ill patients but I've decided instead to major in Business and going for Fashion/Accessory design and trying to open my own boutique. The sudden change? I was in nursing school and at the top of my class and helping the other students get better grades and all, but when it came to getting on the clinical floor, I was too scared of hurting my patients that I wouldn't even touch them. I was afraid of taking blood pressure, bathing patients, checking any vitals really because I was so scared I'd do something wrong and hurt them, so due to that and my inability to get to class anymore, I resigned. But, I'm really hoping someday to own a nice home, grow a beautiful garden, have kids, and hoping to live close to my friends because without them I'd probably be dead right now.
Personality in 5 words or less:
Contradictory, Humanitarian, Total Nutcase

FAVORITES
Favorite Season:
I really love the spring. Especially right around now and into May. I love the flowers and the sound of all of the birds singing. It also gets nice and warm so it's pleasant to go outside. It's my favorite, it's just so gorgeous and everything comes to life. But I also like summer for the different flowers and autumn for the beautiful leaves and awesome festivals, and winter for the snow because I'm not very keen on cold weather (I get cold easy and stay that way) I love snow and I love watching it fall. When it does snow a few feet, I won't come in for days. I'll go out and sit in it and watch it all fall down. Maybe sled or watch the sunset and often I'll bury fox caches of water for later.
Favorite Element:
Are we dealing with earth, air, water and fire? Or metal, water, earth, wood, and fire? Or is there air and ice/snow? And is light an element? Or are we talking about natural elements, too, (not that the others aren't natural) like rain, lightning, etc.? Is spirit an element? Of course then there's the periodic chart of elements an-*smacked upside the head* Itaaaiii... Okay, I'll decide!! Definitely frost/ice/snow because although I don't like being cold, it's the only element that fascinates me more than the others. I guess that's easy to guess from the last question. Maybe it's the unique patterns, the fact that it's temporary, or maybe the nacreous shine it has? It's hard to tell.
Favorite Naruto character & why:
I'm not sure I'm allowed to choose a favorite for absolute sure as I haven't watched the entire series through. Doesn't seem fair. And in a way, I feel like it's kind of cheating, even though I know very well it's not ^^; I hope that's an okay answer.

THIS OR THAT
Mature or Immature:
I can be mature when the situation calls for it, but for the most part I'm pretty immature. I glomp people, stick my tongue out, pout, attack candy, get excited over coloring books and even just going for a walk or to the store makes me excited and happy. I love getting out. And I also have the habit of bringing animals home and begging to keep them and I get cranky and teary when I'm sleepy.
Leader or Follower:
I'm sort of both and sort of neither. Sometimes I'm off in my own little world where I'm not leading or following but just entirely off on my own. Most of the time I just do whatever everyone else wants to do because I'm just happy being there that I'm not all so picky, and when I'm told to do something I more often do it (depending on who's giving the orders), but when everyone is unhappy or there's an emergency and everyone is panicking I'm the one delegating duties and getting everyone calm and organized. I'm not easy to disturb or make panic, though I can be pretty chaotic, myself.
Optimistic or Pessimistic:
When I'm upset... fatalistic pessimist absolutely. When I'm happy... disgustingly cheerful and optimistic.
Impulsive or Cautious:
I have a lot of will power and forethought but unless it's important, I'm usually impulsive.
Outgoing or Shy:
When I'm in a group of people I'm not familiar with I'm often very quiet and very shy and am really nervous. It's mild anxiety, they keep telling me, caused by-... stuff. But when I'm with people I'm familiar with or interested in, I'm often very talkative and have the habit of not shutting up. I'm also very talkative to strangers one-on-one like in grocery stores or in the street. I just can't handle more than one stranger at a time ^^; but otherwise! Rather loud and hyper with close friends.
Hardworking or Laid-back:
When I get into something I like doing or feel I am doing for a purpose, I am very doggedly hardworking. I will go without sleep and without food to continue. So I have the habit of being a bit of a workaholic and an over-achiever and I'm pretty energetic so I usually have the energy to keep going. The bad part is that if no one stops me, I will go several days without sleep and hardly any food and start to break down and start crying when I can't keep going and pass out. This often results in my getting sick. However, if something isn't interesting to me or I wasn't asked by specific people to do it, I'll get around to it whenever and I couldn't care less. If it gets done at all.
Hyper, Calm, or somewhere in-between:
Veeeerrryyyyy hyper. I tend to be energetic to the point where I'm exhausting to others and sometimes irritating. But I can be very calm when I'm scared, nervous, angry, or very very tired. I find this difference is laid between the same as shy or outgoing. If I'm with people I'm comfortable with, I'm hyper. If I'm not familiar, I'm very calm and quiet and polite.
Modest or Bold:
I can be sort of arrogant and egotistical about some things. I'm a show off with some of my talents and my body at times but if someone compliments me, saying I'm pretty, kind, sweet, adorable, cute or a good person I blush fiercely and hide my face or just hide entirely. I'm not used to people saying nice things. It's only come up recently.
Lover or Fighter:
I'm definitely more of a lover. I'm very friendly with people and I guess I'm more like a puppy who gets excited when master's home or people come to visit. I just love being around people and hearing their voices and not being alone. But if someone threatens the people I love, if someone threatens someone who can't defend themselves, I'm usually the unexpected visitor who comes between and has them running in the other direction. I'm not usually very violent, but to protect those important to me or innocent people, I put up one hell of a fight. Nothing I can't stand more then injustice or the idea of not being able to protect friends.

SITUATIONS
You really don't like someone and find them in a heap of trouble. Would you ignore their pleas for help or give a helping hand?:
It depends on how they got into trouble and what sort of trouble. If they were in trouble because of something they did wrong, I'd probably wander off and think about it for a while and let them stew in their own stupidity. If they were in trouble and were faultless, I'd most definitely help them without a second thought. Just because I hate them doesn't mean they deserve to go unaided.
When the going gets tough, do you stay your ground by yourself, call for help, or run away?:
I stand my ground. Or have in the past. I used to be pretty vicious in high school. I fought a decent bit. And I always fought alone. Defending my honor or the honor of a friend. And even though there were more than enough people to over-power me, I didn't ask for help because I didn't want my friends getting hurt for my sake. And I wasn't about to run, because I'm not a coward. I'd rather get beat bruised, bloody and unconscious than turn tail and take off. Incidentally, as fate would have it, I never lost a fight. And they thought I was insane, and THEY would take off running.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting 10 minutes. What do you do?:
It depends on their attitude, I guess. I've had obnoxious teenage boys cut in front of me and laugh about it and I told them to get the hell to the back of the line. But if it's people who didn't realize it or someone who seems to be in a hurry, I usually just smile and shrug and look around. What's 10 more minutes? Stop and smell the roses. Or stare at the magazines.
NARUTO VERSE; Naruto has been following you around all day, trying to get you to teach him a new secret move he saw you do that he thought was cool. What do you do?:
I probably wouldn't tell him. It is a secret move after all. And besides, it's kind of fun sometimes frustrating other people and teasing them. Who knows? I might relent once I get bored.
NARUTO VERSE; Would you rather be attacking up close and personal, hiding far off using a type of long range attacks, or not on the battle field at all?
I think I'd prefer long attacks. It seems like there's less chance of being attacked and the distance often increases your reaction time to defend yourself. Not that there are guarantees. But I'd still prefer to be on the battlefield. I just prefer higher defense than absolute close range can offer. I always did like the sniper as a position in war games.
NARUTO VERSE; Your friend has joined the "dark side" and wants you to join them. More power and money, they say. Would you join them?
Thanks, but I've been fighting the dark side already in me. I'm not about to give it up. Friends are important, but doing the right thing is more important than that. I'd do my best to find a crack in their change. To pry back the friend I had and try to make them see they're wrong and get them back on the right side before they do something they regret. If I was ever that important to them, to be their friend, they'd have to change over or be forced to kill me.

INSPIRATIONAL
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?:
I'd really rather like to not have borderline. That way no one would have to worry about me doing something stupid. I'd be less of the occasional burden because I'm thrown into my own personal "you've ruined everything! you destroyed everything and your family HATES you! DIE!" hell. Some people are pretty shocked to hear about my past after seeing how I act. But... I'm getting better. No more hurting myself.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?:
I'm afraid of changing one thing or another about the world. I'm not sure what would happen as an effect. If there were no bad effects from it, I'd really like for there to be a perfect government made where everyone could be happy and prosperous. If only.
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?:
I don't know. If I could be any character, it would most definitely be a boy, though. Because, regardless, seriously... what would it be like to pee standing up? (Maybe we're going back to the immaturity question, here.)
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the Naruto-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?:
*looks around nearly condemned house* ....But... *points* my kitties. And... my friends... even to get out of this god awful place, I'd totally not go if I couldn't ever see them again. They'd have to be able to go with me! So that's really my answer. I'd go but only if I could take them with me.
...................
Is there any character that you strongly would disagree with being voted as?:
Choji -.-; As much as I do like food, I do share 90% of it.
Please link to 3 applications you've voted on recently:
1. Behind door number one we have: okashimomo!
2. Door number two: ur4evargrl!
3. And your prize, door number three: Wildcard! There are no more Icha Icha Paradisers left to vote on and I'm not very sure or confident in voting on applications for the current theme of partnering. Do you want me to suck it up and haphazardly do a Two's Company or will you be lenient and let me do an IOU and post the very next application I vote on? I won't mind if you detain my app stamp until I do. So long as you don't delete my whole app in 24 hours. I'm all open for suggestions here, mod gods. I don't want to be a pain.
