Description of your personality [Feel free to include personality test results]
Aw, jeez. Well...let's see...Around people I don't know very well, I'm very quiet and shy. I tend to completely revert into my head and stay there, and just spend time thinking about things, rather than interacting. Lately, though, I've been trying to interact with people more. Around people I know, I'm quite friendly, and I'm generally a very cheerful and optimistic person. I have very strong opinions and I'm extremely conscientious. Most of the time I'm pretty darn logical and practical, but my sense of morality is ruled purely by feelings. Like most people, I guess.
Some positive adjectives/traits: Optimism, cheerfulness, intense loyalty towards my friends and family, strong willingness to help people, a sense of humor, the ability to do really well under pressure
And the negative: Naiveté, absent-mindedness, stubbornness, I'm kind of childish sometimes, sometimes I complain, I tend to ignore people (not out of malice or cruelty--I just get lost in my thoughts and don't pay attention)
Likes [hobbies, fandoms and general]: Watching television shows/movies, listening to music, reading books, learning new things, chilling with my friends, watching TV shows with my family, writing stories, bicycling to God knows where
Dislikes: Willfully ignorant people, hateful people, getting caught in the rain, roller coasters, airplanes, drug abusers, insects/spiders, being interrupted...
Strengths/Talents: I'm pretty good at writing--I often get complimented on my creativity and imagination and my way with words. I'm also very good at looking at things objectively...people tend to ask me advice or for help on stuff. Hmm...I read fairly fast, and I have an expert knowledge on sentence structure and other related things (which comes from a lifetime of writing as a hobby).
Fears: Heights, definitely. Most noticeably with roller coasters and airplanes. Er...I guess that also ties in with a fear of wildly falling to my death. I'm somewhat afraid of insects and spiders, but really only when they're crawling towards me--if they're minding their own business, I don't mind them.
Favourites [and why?]
Colour: Green--mostly just standard. It's been my favorite ever since I was small, and it reminds me of forests and grass. I like forests and grass. :)
Word: "Dilapidated." It's just so fun to say!
Place: I haven't been to many places. I guess home.
Band/Artist: Green Day, followed closely by the Beatles, which is in turn followed closely by Lady Gaga. That's the top three...I like many more. Recently, I've been really getting into the Beach Boys.
Quote/Lyric:
"The most solid advice...for a writer is this, I think: try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell, and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough."
-William Saroyan
And my favorite lyric:
I've got to keep on chasin' that dream
Though I may never find it
I'm always right behind it...
-Boston, "Foreplay/Long Time"
This or That
Mature or Immature: Uh...I don't know. A little mix of both? On the one hand, I'm a teenager, and I am pretty teenagery. On the other hand, I'm fairly mature for my age, I'd say...
Leader or Follower: I tend to be more of an observer. I am my own leader, more often than not.
Outgoing or Shy: Shy, most of the time, but with my friends I'm fairly outgoing.
Impulsive or Cautious: Cautious, definitely.
Emotional or Stoic: Uh, a mixture, I guess...? I'm not entirely ruled by my emotions, but they are certainly passionate. My facial expressions tend to be rather blank, though.
Laidback or Uptight: Laid back. My default stage of emotion is contentment. :)
Justice or Compassion: Hmm...justice. It is compassionate to be just.
Fun or Serious I'm in it for the fun.
Organised or Chaotic My room tends to get really messy really quickly, but it's mostly a matter of clutter rather than me being unorganized. I know where everything is, at least, and they more or less have their places...
Is there a character you don't really relate to at all/think is very unlike you? Explain why...
Lucifer? Uriel? Lucifer, because, well, he's the Devil, and the embodiment of pure evil. Uriel...was a jerk to Castiel. D: Er...I don't connect with a lot of the female characters, mostly in part because I don't think they had much chance to develop anyway. Poor gals. Also, I don't think I'm very much like Sam and Dean at all.
