Zodiac/Birth Sign: Sun sign - Gemini; Moon sign - Taurus; Chinese zodiac - Rat.
Height: 5' 2"
Eyes: Black naturally but sometimes I wear bright blue or green contacts.
Hair (Color/Length): Black; shoulder/lower-neck length.
Hobbies: Cinema, learning languages, photography, reading manga, poi (fire dancing), knitting, traditional dance (flamenco, zapatea, bellydancing...), web site design, and many other things.
Likes: My hobbies, driving fast, boots, in-depth discussions, ferrets, the sound of a language I've never heard before, jester masks, handicrats, art, etc.
Dislikes: Spiders, dishonesty, burnt food, cherries, peanut butter, being yelled at, finding things out through unexpected parties, static on the radio, and other little things.
Strong points: Communicative, quick-witted, multilingual, loyal, honest, perceptive, intuitive, clairevoyant, fast learner, etc.
Weaker points: I can be honest to a fault. I have a hot temper that I have learned to keep under control but can still sometimes go off. I don't trust easily and if my trust is ever broken, it takes a long time to win it back. I don't usually let others help me with my personal/emotional problems and, as such, find myself crying alone whenever I have the need. I am jealous. I forgive too easily and hurt just as easily.

ONE OR THE OTHER
(Do you act on) Impulse or thinking things through? I'm learning more and more with time to trust my instinct over my logic.
Mind over heart or heart over mind? I suppose it depends on the subject at hand. When it comes to people I love, I go with my heart. When it comes to other types of decisions, I go with my mind.
Fame or fortune? Fame.
Selfishness or selflessness? Selflessness.

Got any dreams or aspirations? I wish to become a translator in the field of cinema.
