It's the old mantra : I'm a leaf on the wind
Obligatory Questions
01. Name: Steph
02. Age: 24
03. Gender: Female
04. Location: Belgium
05. Likes: sci-fi, reading, roleplaying, redheads, art, writing. Does my cat Stella counts as well? Because I adore her. I also admire people who are able to think for themselves. I admire the occasional brave soul who dares to say that I'm 'utterly wrong and that I need to chill', because when I get spitting mad, I lose all sense of logical reasoning. That takes a lot of nerve.
06. Dislikes: Oh, I have a lot of pet peeves, if you could call it that. People who think that they're 'holier than thou', just piss me off to no end, and have resulted into many a rant in my journal. Racism, there is no good excuse for it, ever. Being pushed back in any way because of my handicaps. And I could just go on and on.
07. Hobbies and/or Talents: Once upon a time, I was quite good at drawing and painting, but I've gone a bit rusty at that. I like to write, read, and I know how to knit. Well, most of the time.
08. Strengths: I'm definitely loyal. I always try to take care of friends and family and often will choose them over my personal life. I'm definitely able to 'think out of the box' up to a point where only a few can understand where I'm wanting to hint at.
09. Weaknesses: I can be a terrible procrastinator, and will wait until the time 'feels right' to do it. I can get so angry that I lose all sense of reasoning, and will carry a grudge toward people for years.
Favourite
01. Colour: Turquoise, petrol blue, indigo, burnt sienna.
02. Movies: Blade Runner, Boondock Saints, Good Morning Vietnam.
03. Books: Frank McCourt, Rimbaud, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg.
04. Music: Steve Earle, The Clash, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Billy Joel.
This or That
01. Leader or follower? Most of the time, a leader, but only because I get pushed into so-said positions, and even then, I rely on people to help me out.
02. Brains or brawn? Ah, a bit of both. Depends on how angry I am, really.
03. Fight or run? Again, depends on how angry I am. If I am very angry, I will kick your ass, and I will win. If I'm not angry, then you're not worth my time and effort.
04. Psychological warfare, or a good ol' fashioned ass-kickin'? :D Ass-kickin', please!
05. Dreamer or realist? A realist, definitely.
06. Win at all costs, or honour until the end? Win. Honor doesn't matter, because I've probably relinquished it already by getting into the fight in the first place.
07. Paper or plastic? Paper. Please take care of the environment.
Random
01. How to do react to stressful situations? It depends on the situation, really! There have been times when I've mentally panicked and screamed until I couldn't think see the forest from the trees anymore, but appeared to be frightfully calm on the outside. And on other times I WILL definitely freak out, and usually either run away and blather and cry like an idiot, or in the worst case, slap someone or break something until I'm calm again. Only, not really. There's a reason why my teeth are the way they are. I need to stop grinding them whenever I'm angry or stressed out.
02. Who is your least favourite person in the universe, fictional or not? That would be my brother in law. Asshole to the first degree.
03. The eternal question. You find a wallet full of money, credit cards, etc. What do you do with it? Keep it, because I'm poor.
04. How well do you take and insult? Never very well. There's been times when I've almost gotten to blows with people over such a thing.
05. Pick a weapon. Hm, I'll go for ... a broom. Quite a domestic thing, but such a good weapon!
06. You're sending a capsule into space, to educate any alien races who might find it on human culture. Remember, you have to impress them, or else they'll think we're stupid and blow us up. What do you put in the capsule? A video of monks meditating. With a bit of luck, they'll think we're an easily conquered race, and then we'll blow them back into space with our arsenal of rockets. Only, not really.
No, I'd probably gift them candy. Anyone remember those Ninja Turtles squishy candies? Let's face it, candy is one of the things ANYONE can appreciate.
