Once Upon A Time...
The Basics
2. Over 13 ( LJ policy, sorry) :Well, I'm 30, so...yes.
3. Five positive adjectives about yourself: Creative, intelligent, witty, pleasant, loyal
4. Five negative adjectives about yourself: Stubborn, at times mean-spirited, sarcastic, moody, loud
5. Describe your personality: I'm not really sure how to describe it, but many of my friends have told me I'm loyal, smart, and have put up with so much adversity and kept going that they don't know how I do that (I guess that's what happens when being stubborn is a good thing). I won't give up on something I want without a fight, and if I have to I'll fight dirty, but at all other times I hate fighting and strive for peace wherever I am.
6. Likes: Writing, music, movies, TV, photography, manga, reading in general, school, blue
7. Dislikes: Rampant stupidity, people who don't learn from their mistakes, anything that disrupts the tranquility around me, my weight, being all wishy washy with the guy I have a crush on, neon colors, spicy foods
8. Hobbies and/or Talents: I've been writing fic for thirteen years in quite a few fandoms and I used to make graphics. I read a lot (generally shonen manga like Bleach or fantasy novels...I'm in a college class about J.R.R. Tolkein's works right now which I enjoy thoroughly)
9. Favorite Musician/Band(s): Jun Areia's remixes of Korean pop songs are mostly what I listen to, but I also like Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, f(x), T-ara, 2NE1, Girls' Generation and Shiro Sagisu's scores to the Bleach anime. I also heartily enjoy the remixed "TRON: Legacy" soundtrack.
10. Favorite Movie(s): Clue, Alice In Wonderland (just about any version, from the 50s Disney one to the 80s Care Bears one to the 00s SyFy one), RED, Die Hard (numbers 3 & 4, mostly), Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost, most of the Harry Potter movies, what I've seen of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (like the books better, though), Sucker Punch, the new Star Trek, all the Star Wars movies, Thor, Captain America...I could go on for hours.
11. T.V Show(s): Doctor Who, Criminal Minds, Eureka, Hawaii Five-0, and I'm slowly catching up on Castle again.
Are you more...
1. Optimistic or Pessimistic: I really am one of those people that it depends on the situation, but I veer towards optimistic most of the time
2. Extroverted or introverted: Extroverted
3. Girly girl, tomboy, or somewhere in between: Somewhere in between
4. Planner or Improviser:Depending on the situation I could be either or. If it's work related I'm usually a planner; if it's for fun I'm an improviser.
5. Head in the clouds or Down to earth: Down to earth
6. Aggressive,passive, passive-aggressive: Agressive most of the time, but passive when it comes to fighting and relationship-type stuff. I am not, however, passive-agressive.
7. Playful or serious: Serious, unless it's about some fandom thing I'm into. I do get kind of playful around the guy I have a crush on, though...not that he notices.
8. Trusting or Cynical: Trusting more often then cynical, though I will admit I have a more jaded worldview on certain topics like relationships

Finishing Touches
1. How would you describe your relationships with your family and friends? Well, my mother and I get along great when it's not house related (we live in transitional housing, where she's a resident and I'm in charge...can lead to awkward times), my son adores me and I adore him even though we don't see each other often, and my sister and I have a strained relationship for a large variety of reasons. But I get along great with my friends.
2. What are some of your goals and dreams? I want to be a novelist, career wise. I don't have to be super successful, but I'd like to be able to support myself by writing. In the short term, I want custody of my son back, which means I need a job to support us and a safe place to live. And even shorter than that, I want to get through the month without killing any of the women I live with as we gear up to move out of the home we're in now.
3. Is there any character you don't want to be stamped as and why do you not see yourself in this character? I would prefer not to be stamped as Rumplestilskin. I may have a mean streak but I wouldn't go doing some of the stuff he does.
4 . Is there anything else you would like to add? Nope, I'm good.
