Your Personality
How would you describe yourself?Hmm~I've always been a little quirky, but people always say that, don't they? I'm passionate, intelligent, curious/nosy (very); trustworthy, loyal, idealistic. I'm emotional/moody, pretty damn vulnerable, more than I'd like to be, although I'd never want to live life if I couldn't feel things intensely. I yearn to be independent in my thinking, but I tend to stumble on my own two feet a lot. I can be nervous, and paranoid, and am easily envious of other people. I distrust people often, but the few I allow in I cling to. Possessive. I have a repressed, but nasty temper. Stubborn. And I can be pretty challenging/rebellious when provoked to be so, despite being shy and insecure. I'm introverted, and need a lot of alone time, but I still want to do a lot in the world.
How would others describe you? A lot of people assume I'm really nice and gentle, not realizing how awkward and rough around the edges I am. Those closer to me say I have a lot of personality & energy. Another assumption is that I'm kind of quiet, but I can be pretty damn loud at times, and swear much more than people ....anticipate, I suppose. Wacky. Silly, sometimes. Stubborn again. Complex. Sentimental. Clever. Funny, apparently. Proud? I guess I can see it. Caring.
What are you passionate about? Rather, what are some things you enjoy? Writing writing writing (poetry). Gah ♥ I'm really insecure about it, but I...it means a lot to me. Really. I also love psychology and the bits I know of philosophy; I like trying to understand what I can about the world. My social causes are also really important to me.
What are some things that get on your nerves? What could you do without? Arrogance. Ignorance, close-mindedness. Pretension. People who can't control their tempers. Anything boring or bland.
Do you have any talents? What are you good at?I'd like to think I'm decent/fairly good at writing. Is it weird I like to think I'm at least decent at swearing? It just sounds so awkward coming from some people. Unnatural and weird.
What are you not so good at? Making decisions; I'm opinionated but still somehow suck at that. Directions. Being coherent about my feelings unless I'm writing them down. Handling my emotions/keeping my head level. Finding the right balance between passivity and aggression. Being concise.
Relationships
What do you look for in a significant other? Physically? Mentally? Physically, I don't tend to go for super skinny boys. I'd like a little bit of muscle on them, if possible. AND I HAVE THIS THING ABOUT BASHFUL SMILES. T-they're just kind of...cute. Mentally/personality wise: I want someone who's a little strange here and there and not afraid to embrace it. I'd like someone who's sensitive enough to deal with my moodiness, but I don't want someone to coddle me and enable my more negative behavior. Intelligent, truustworthy, passionate. I like intensity in people. A challenging disposition. A sense of honor in staying true to his ideals and who he is. A protective edge can be cute, so long as he opens me up to taking risks and generally forces me to stand on my own two feet without relying on him all the time.
"Love" -- how do you look at it? I'm in love with the concept, just wish it could be a little easier, is all. That kind of really powerful, intense, deep connection really appeals to me.
How do you feel about cheating? Have you ever considered it? Maybe it's unfair of me to judge since I've never really been in the position, but it's something I usually really dislike. Problems should be worked out in the open whenever possible, and all cheating does is break the trust between two people. I'm sure there's a couple circumstances where it's not such a bad action, but in general, I tend to really regard it with distaste.
How do you view friendship? I freaking love friendship. I think it gets sidelined far too often in terms of its importance. It can be just as meaningful as a romantic relationship; friends can help a person grow just as much. My friends mean the world to me. They've helped me out a lot, as awkward as I am expressing that to them.
Given a choice, would you prefer many acquaintances or few friends? Few friends by far.
Concerning friends, could you leave them to pursue your goals and dreams? ...You don't need to leave them necessarily. Physically, distance isn't that much of an obstacle in friendship. If the bond's strong enough, it won't break. And I can't see how my dreams would require to me to cut off all contact with my friends. If I had to be by myself for a while to figure things out? Sure, okay. But I'd come back to them. I couldn't not. Besides, I'm too possessive to let them go for good.
Are you more faithful or more cynical of others? I always distrust people in regards to myself; I always assume they have negative intentions or opinions towards me. But I'm getting better at trying to be level headed about my paranoia, and regarding humanity as a whole, I tend to be more faithful that things will work out somehow, for whatever reason. Any contempt I may hold for humanity arises because I love them too much to not care when they do something stupid.
Other Stuff
A picture is optional, but what of your looks? Meh. I'm really pale, which I used to dislike, but it's so part of who I am by now I can't imagine myself without it. Average height; pretty skinny. Dirty blond boring hair, but I've been told I have interesting eyes..they're light, kind of dull, really, a weird greenish almost blue color, but there's some yellow circled around the black.
If you were in a band, who else would be in it? What instrument would you play? Why? Drums drums drums ♥ I've always wanted to play them, something with that kind of energy. If I could sing, I'd totally want to try that out, too.
At a live show... What kind of fan are you? A wallflower? Part of the mosh pit? Somewhere in between; a cheerer, not completely quiet or in the mosh pit, but totally high on the energy and willing to express it in cheers and maybe some movement to the music.
Could you sum up who you are in a single song?... I...n...no XD; Um. Hmm. I'll give two examples, I guess. "Dress Me Up" by OLIVIA represents my frustration of people projecting onto me their idealized image of who I should be, and how I try to reject that. "Runs in the Family" by Amanda Palmer could focus more on the parts of my identity I'd like to disown, but are so deeply embedded in me that I have to face up to them. OH. And "Once in a Lifetime" by the Talking Heads really epitomizes the feelings of disillusionment I have often, especially these past couple years.
What are (some of) your favorite lyrics?
"Shake your rattle-snake skin
And become a part of society
Wait on down the highway
To see how far I'll come a-run a-run run running
All that we had salvaged from the fire
Was a waste of time
(But) what a waste of time
Should I trust all the rust that's on TV?
I guess with some distaste I disagree
With quite a fashionable dispassion for
The dispossessed under-stressed
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
And I don't care if you don't like it
Or just don't see"
-"In This Home on Ice," Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
"You said you hate the sound
Of the busses on the ground
You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
I said pretend it's whales
Keeping their voices down
Such were the grounds for divorce I know"
-"Grounds for Divorce," Wolf Parade
Runners up: "Yeah I'm gonna act up/Just not in your fucking play" & "Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary" (Modest Mouse, "Dance Hall"; Cursive "Making Friends and Acquaintances").
