Rerate me to the EXTREME!
I got stamped as PresentDay!Shouichi some 8 months or so ago. Since then I've graduated HS/am holding 2 part time jobs/going to college and have definitely changed in a good number of ways, so I want to reapply and see who I get now. =)

Basics
¤ 1) Name Michiru
¤ 2) Age Going on 19
¤ 3) Country U.S. of A.
Personality
¤ 4) From a first impression, what kind of person do you appear to be? I apparently come off as being a very sweet, kind, interesting person.
¤ 5) How does that differ from the person you are? I’m not as sweet, kind, or lovely as people seem to feel I am at first. I think I’m only interesting if you can find my quirks amusing. When people first meet me they don’t see my stubbornness, my bossiness (it’s toned down a lot, but it still remains), or how easily irritated I can be if someone is incompetent at performing a task or job. They also don’t often come into immediate contact with my being angry through being stressed or just generally upset because someone snubbed me and I really don’t like when people look down on me/insult me/blame me for something. I’ve also got a slightly vindictive streak and sarcasm that could negate out their viewing me as “kind” or “sweet”.
This isn’t to say I’m a mean person-I try not to be. I’m just much less so a typically friendly person than they tend to think.
¤ 6) What kind of person do you want to become, then? Overall, I want to be more confident when it comes to my relationships with others; I am doing quite well on working on that. I would like to be more able to show that I care about people close to me, because often I find it very hard to express that in words-I more readily show affection with actions. Likewise I need to be able to say “I’m sorry” more readily than I am now. I’d like a better control of my emotions when I’m upset/stressed, because I know sometimes I can stress those around me when I don’t mean to.
In the end, I really do think I just need to figure out a less blunt way of being myself and having more confidence with who I am and how I feel-which I think I’m steadily developing.
¤ 7) What, or who, is your inspiration in life? My overall inspiration is Maximilien Robespierre, one of the members of the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution. I admire many of the Revolutionaries (including Marat), but Robespierre I admire the most. He was unafraid to hold his opinions and to express them, no matter how unpopular they were; he spoke out against things he thought were unjust and for things he thought were fair until he was guillotined in 1794. I believe in essence that he was a good person, and that he is often unfairly given a bad reputation in history. Although he was not without his faults, I really do admire his stubborn adherence to his beliefs and his unwavering want to change things in the world. To an extent, I like to think I have adopted that way of thinking.
¤ 8) What are your major strong points? I’m very creative (writing, music, designing clothing), intelligent, and I think it’s a good thing how much I care for my friends and the lengths I will sometimes go for them (sometimes, this can be bad). I have a knack for learning facts and languages and remembering little details/dates/facts, being opinionated and unafraid to speak my mind/doing what I think needs to be done in a situation (again, could be a bad thing too). I’m a good leader and can adapt to situations when I have to in order to perservere.
¤ 9) What are your major weak points? Sometimes how much I care for friends can effect me too much if I’m powerless to help them; I get depressed as a result. My strong views and opinions sometimes offend people because I WON’T change my mind, even if I listen to and respect other people’s views. I can be obstinate and stubborn, somewhat moody sometimes, often hard to get along with because I think in abstract ways most others don’t and can’t understand. I tend to have a take-charge attitude and cause offense without meaning to by being unintentionally bossy. I’m sarcastic and realistic to the extent that I can make people a bit depressed by trying to tell them something won’t work/is a bad decision, and I’m trying to be helpful. I have a strange sense of humor that can be lost on others or even offend them and again, I didn’t mean to. I’m very blunt, which is good sometimes and horrible others. I deal poorly with authority, especially that I don’t respect.
¤ 10) What makes you (^__^) =D? Sarcasm, wit, history, foreign languages/cultures, forensic/medical shows, porn, manga/anime, cosplay/sewing/designing, writing, music (especially of the hard rock/metal type), hanging out with my friends, doing something random/spur of the moment, pay day, driving (in my big truck. Very fast. :D V8 engine ftw), sleeping, my cat/animals, being outside in a forest alone.
¤ 11) What makes you (¤>__<) >:(? Bad drivers, people who are full of themselves just because they’re rich, people who don’t do their jobs correctly (or at all), overly religious/homophobic/closed-minded/racist/idiotic/hypocritical/ignorant people, liars, people not listening to me when they SHOULD, people interrupting my sleep, people yelling at me over something stupid or that I didn’t even do, my job, people being so selfish they don’t care who they hurt to get what THEY want, my family.
¤ 12) What makes you (;__;) ;(? Animal abuse, child abuse (these two also make me angry), being poor, when I can’t help my friends, feeling worthless, when I hurt someone I care about when I didn’t mean to. Most things on this list tend to turn into anger when I get frustrated too much, because I can’t deal with being sad and I hate crying. But I can deal with being mad enough to beat the crap out of something/someone.
¤ 13) What is your general mood? Typically I’m just pensive and observant, thinking about something or taking in a situation, at which points I’m kind of…flat, emotionally. Once could say I’m calm. I’m neither happy, nor sad, nor angry. However, what I am thinking about or observing can easily set me into being either happy, upset, or any other range of emotions depending on how my day has been.
Thoughts
¤ 14) Do you think taking a humans life can be justified? Yes. If someone is attacking you or someone who needs to be defended (a child, someone elderly, someone injured who cannot defend themself) and that is the only way to stop them, then you do what you must. You are not obligated to let someone kill you-but I believe you are obligated to try and STOP them from doing so, no matter the means.
I also believe that if someone is a menace to society, in the extreme forms (such as being an indiscriminate serial killer or rapist) then they too should be put to death.
¤ 15) What do you think of Love? My definition of it would be caring for someone to such a great extent that you would be willing to make sacrifices for them, to be for their own wellbeing or so that they will be generally happy. Obviously, romantic love has that added dimension of sexual attraction to it. I think overall love is a very complicated thing that can bring happiness if it is requited and the two people involved can work together to meet one another’s needs-but it can hurt just as horribly if it is unrequited or those involved just fail to properly attend to what needs to be done to make it successful. I really don’t think it’s a black and white emotion-there’s a ton of gray area that must be sifted through with love, no matter what kind it is, and a certain amount of accepting the person you love for who they are and not how you want them to be has to come into play as well. It really relies a ton on give and take and meeting half way and just accepting that you can’t always get what you want, 100%, from the other person.
¤ 16) How do you view your life? It’s a bit of a mess right now, but that’s mostly due to family and now that I can cope with them, I feel pretty in control of it. I can make it better, and I’ve already set plans in motion to do so. My aspirations are fairly modest, and I feel once I attain them my life will be pretty good. I believe I can do what I want with it within reason and will do so eventually.
¤ 17) Do you “live” in the past, present or future? Obviously, I live in the present, but I make plans for the future based on what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and what action will best get me where I want to be.
Situations
¤ 18) Could you risk your life on a 15% chance of dying under unknown conditions if you would get really rich if you succeed? If I knew the conditions, I’d say yes, but considering I don’t, no. Simply because I am not the type of person who goes into something unprepared, and I do not feel that money is an adequate excuse for me to run into a situation half-cocked.
¤ 19) There’s war. Some people fight for their lives, some try to flee the field, some protect their family, some hide, some nurse the sick, some organize people, some steal, some try to stop the fights… Where are you? I’m the irritating thorn-in-the-side activist pitching a hissy-fit about what’s going on and what we need to do to make things right again. I’d probably be writing up a storm about what I think is wrong and what I think we need to do to fix it, maybe speaking (or arranging for someone else to do so) at rallies to get my ideas heard, or making videos of speeches and putting them online. And pestering the hell out of officials, because I find it fun and only get angrier if they sneer down at me like I shouldn’t be interfering in their dealings. I know, I did that when my teachers in HS when on strike
¤ 20) If you had Mukuro's power to possess people, how would you use it? It’s a tough question to ask me seeing as I don’t have it, but I think I probably would end up using it to possess people in positions of authority in the hopes of being able to change things that aren’t right in society, even if it’s not a HUGE change. Just to improve the situations that can start to ruin many people’s lives or to cause problems for people would make me happy.
¤ 21) A smiling, white-haired man comes to your house, eats all of your marshmallows, and says he needs your powers in the Mafia to overthrow other Mafias. (You’re getting nicely paid and free ice-cream for a year!) Oh Byakuran I’d probably ask him what exactly he needed me to do to accomplish that, and why, and if I liked his answer I’d be his bitch for a good paycheck. I’m sure it’s better than where I am now either way.
¤ 22) You find a wallet on the street. It contains a lot of money, a drivers license, and two condoms. I’d turn it in, unless I knew the person and didn’t like them. Then I’d take their money and run.
¤ 23) Your house is burning. A lot. You have no idea where the other occupants of the house are. I’m sure my parents could get out, and after grabbing my cat I’d make sure they were before jumping ship. My house has a ton of sliding glass doors, so it’s pretty easy to find an exit in case of emergency.
Random
¤ 24) How do you eat your hotdogs? I don’t really like hotdogs. If I do eat them, it’s just on a bun with ketchup, mustard, and maybe onion.
¤ 25) What’s your theme song? Riot by Three Days Grace
¤ 26) Tell us a character from another fandom that you identify yourself with? I think this used to be more fitting a year ago than it is today, but I still relate to Ishida Uryuu from BLEACH. We’re both pretty tsundere at times, sometimes being flat-out bitchy and screaming at the people we see as idiots around us. We’re both loners at first who, after time, come to open up to those around us because we realize we CAN indeed trust some people in the world. Then, the people we do care for are protected and cherished above anything else. We both have a strong sense of pride and morals, that if wounded cause us to become angry and somewhat withdrawn. We share a love of arts and crafts, of being intelligent and using that to our advantage, of being prepared for anything and planning ahead for obstacles that might come up. On a more personal level, his relationship with his father and grandfather mirror mine with my mother and grandmother to a creepy extent. I find our reactions in some situations are also very similar-the biggest difference I think between us is that I am more outwardly happy than he usually is.
¤ 27) Give us a picture of, or describe your room Because I type too much, here, have pictures. XD;;; sorry this is so ungodly long
