A Snippet From A Song That Suits You Well:
Ha. How about two to represent the two major parts of me?
You'd be surprised at all that I've become.
You'd be surprised, I've changed while you've been gone,
And I learned so much more from you than I could ever say.
If you were here, I think that you'd stay...
You'd be surprised how far these arms can reach.
You'd be surprised there's a promise I can keep.
Would you believe that I seldom fall to pieces anymore?
If you were here, you'd like what you saw.
(You'd Be Surprised - Idina Menzel)
What are we waiting for?
These years are dying slowly,
Today is still in front of us
And we're breaking out
Cuz today is now or never.
I don't want a life of agony
I won't be another tragedy
And close my eyes while everything burns.
And I won't pretend I don't exist
Invisible until I turn to dust,
Open your eyes we're still alive.
Standing still is criminal
And never lasts forever.
The safest place in life is now,
Today's the day we're breaking out..
(Now or Never - Madina Lake)
Your Favorite Quote:
Oh, I'm a big fan of quotes. I could never pick one favorite. Pretty much anything that comes out of my mouth was said by someone else first.
Likes: Quotes, music, acting, teh interwebz, books
Dislikes: Drama, Mondays and Wednesdays of this semester (work from 6AM to 12PM, classes from 1PM until 5PM, then rehearsal from 6PM until 11PM. BLEH), confrontation
Talents:
I'm double-jointed in my fingers? I don't really have any special talents. Maybe my ability to catch on after a while. I just can't do something and, whether I practice or not, one day, something will just click and I'll nail it randomly and be able to do it over and over. It's like staying in white for a while, then suddenly leaping straight into into black without dealing with all the grey in the middle.
Hobbies:
Theatre, writing, reading, rehearsing, listening to music
What Do Your Friends Like About You?
How cheerful I am and how I'm always up for something new. My dirty mind, even though the rest of me is pretty innocent (in the words of my ex: "You don't drink or do drugs, you're a virgin, you don't smoke...honestly, you're the most innocent girl I've ever met, and have the dirtiest mind.") My academic advisor often tells me I'm stubborn and opinionated (but in a good way) and my Jazz instructor always laughs about how "[I] don't play. [I] might look like [I'm] not being serious, but [I] don't play".
What Do You Like About Yourself The Most?
How much I've changed and the person I've become. How everything above can be said about me when that wasn't always the case.
It’s Late At Night and You Have No Work to Do. How Do You Busy Yourself?
Internet, dance, write a little...sleep. Honestly, the situation you described is very unlikely. See my Mondays and Wednesdays and please go ahead assume that any other days are lighter, but just as long (that is, mostly those hours, but with much-needed breaks in between).
A Little Deeper…
What do you believe is your ideal career?
I've always wanted to do something in the arts. My original goal was to write and I still hope to do that, but I like becoming characters more than writing about them. Even when I was focused on writing, I'd have to get up and do an action or conversation to figure out where I was going with it. For now, I'd like to start out doing something fun but keeps me busy, like auditioning for a Renaissance Fair or working as a Disney character. Honestly, I can't see myself doing much outside of something in the arts.
What were you like as a child?
Quiet. I was very low on the social ladder. Still am, but I'm much bouncier now.
Are you satisfied with your life?
Can't complain but sometimes I still do.
Someone kills someone who was important to you. How do you react?
Did you ever see The Boondock Saints? You know that bit at the end in the basement where they're tied to the chairs? Probably something like that.
Your Favorites…
Favorite Book(s)?
Harry Potter series, Chuck Palahniuk novels, 1984, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby
Favorite Movie(s)?
Repo!, Velvet Goldmine, Moulin Rouge, Across the Universe, Clue, Fight Club, The Boondock Saints, V for Vendetta
Favorite Artist(s)?
I don't really like one artist over all...just certain pieces.
Favorite Music?
Jack's Mannequin, Something Corporate, random musicals, 3OH!3, The Format, The White Tie Affair, David Bowie, Straylight Run, Placebo, Mindless Self Indulgence, Madina Lake, The Cat Empire, Gorillaz, Scissor Sisters, Flight of the Conchords
Favorite Place(s)?
Bookstores, my room, alone on the road in the dead of night in the middle of nowhere when it's raining. :D
What is Your Favorite Childhood Memory?
I can barely remember what happened an hour ago and I'm pretty sure my family thought I was on drugs last night because of my random tired word-spurts. You expect me to remember some happy times from a long time ago?
About Repo!…
What song do you find yourself singing when no one else is around?
Whichever one is playing the moment. Honestly, if I'm able to, I have my earbuds in and sing along whether people are around or not. I was early for a rehearsal and half my castmates walked in on me belting out Night Surgeon on stage, I did a spoken Thankless Job for my scholarship audition, and a friend of mine and I randomly do one of our Jazz combinations to Zydrate Anatomy. I have no shame when it comes to Repo!
Which character can you imagine yourself hanging out with?
Shilo. I love the other characters as fictitious beings, but I'd probably stay very far away from them if they were real.
Who should be running GeneCo?
It should shut the hell down. Organ failure death >>>>>>> missing payments and being eviscerated. At least with the organ failure you have the hope of pain killers. Besides, that world's obviously gone to shit anyway. It's unfit to live in, so might as well either figure out how to fix it or just accept the inevitable.
What are your feelings on ascots?
... *snerk* Sorry I just have to go...snuggle my scarf or something...and not die laughing at people who wear ascots...
If you could undergo any surgery without having to pay, what would you have done?
Darling, there are many things I'd love to change about myself, but you'd have to pay me five times what the Largo family is worth to get me into that chair.
Who from Repo! do you dislike the most?
Rotti. I mean, really, are you serious with this? Seventeen years ago a chick left you and so you develop an elaborate scheme to ruin the lives of the woman, her husband, her child, and all of your children? Get over it.
You are able to go to dinner with one of the characters. Who is it?
Nathan. He seems like a warm guy and a nice dinner companion as long as you're not related to him. :|
