Tic! Toc!
I totally understand if this is tl;dr, and I'm sorry. I tend to go overboard on these things, even when commenting on others. D:
Name/Nickname: Gabrielle/Gabby
Age: 18
Likes: Generally -- reading, writing, movies, theatre, art, learning, music, sleeping. There're more specific things (like fandoms), but that could take forever. XP
Dislikes: Inconsiderate/impolite people, close-mindedness, bad grammar, living in the city, being hot, vermin of any kind, being told what to do, anything math-related (this often includes little things like figuring up tip at restaurants).
Hobbies: Reading, writing, singing, acting, studying, fangirling. I also knit and bake when I'm in the right mood. :D
Strong points: I'm very polite, and I try to be conscious of others and their feelings as much as I can be. I'm also extremely protective and motherly, especially of and toward friends, but also those I feel may need protecting and/or a little bit of affection. I like listening to others and helping other people. I'm a generally loving and accepting person, and I trust others easily. I work hard to achieve goals, and I'm very much a perfectionist.
Weak points: I've been told I come off as a little cold/distant at first because of my manners. I can sometimes be downright cutthroat in a competition (usually in the academic arena but sometimes in other areas), and, when something I've done falls short of my own high standards, I'm very hard on myself. I trust people too easily and get myself hurt by it way too often; I'm also sensitive and very emotional to begin with, which makes it that much worse. I can be a little too protective sometimes. I can be resentful and bitter. I'm a worrier. And I'm a procrastinator.
Future goals?: Get my Ph.D in History and become a teacher. Travel everywhere, and live for awhile in a different country. Ultimately, though, I just want to meet my true love, get married, and be a mommy. :D
What do you think is the best quality about yourself? Why?: That I'm motherly and affectionate. I know that there are people in the world who don't feel loved, even though they ARE lovable, and I don't think that's right. I like taking care of others and making people happy.
What do you think is the worst quality about yourself? Why?: I'M SUCH A PROCRASTINATOR. DX I could eliminate so much stress for myself if I'd just do what I needed to do before the last minute.
If there was one thing you would change about the world, what would it be? Why?: I would have people be mindful and respectful of others. I go outside everyday and see people walking around, being rude to each other because we're all so self-involved. If everyone would stop for a second and realize that other people exist, and that we all have responsibilities and loved ones just as important as everyone else's that need to be taken care of, I think the world would be a better place to live in. All it takes is common courtesy and respect.
If there was one thing you would change about yourself, what would it be?: Pretty much everything about my appearance.
Let your inner fangirl out. Answer this question by gushing about your favorite member. (If you don't fangirl, say so. If it’s explicit, bold a warning beforehand.): GUH. This is the worst question. Honestly, my favorite member changes once every two weeks or so. BUT, I do have a very very special place in my heart for Kangin. I adore him because he's not as rough and rowdy as he seems (though I love that persona as well); he's really kind and sensitive. Numerous bits of shows I've seen give evidence to his sweet side -- especially the final episode of YaShimManMan and a thing he did with Heechul on 3 Color Women where Kangin talks about building a home for his grandmother with tears in his eyes and Heechul has to stop him from saying more before he starts to cry. Donghae's relay talk about him and his relay talk about Kibum from the repackaged 2nd album proved, in my opinion, that he really *is* the appa of SuJu; the way he is with children melts my heart, because he looks SO sincere about the joy they bring him. He's gruff and rough and sometimes obnoxious on the outside -- which I truly love because it makes for absolute hilarity (the pantsing trend he started during those couple episodes of EHB had me in tears) -- but he's totally soft and warm and loving and kind-hearted on the inside. He's the one member that consistently has the power to make me go all teary-eyed and wibbly-lipped. But don't get me wrong -- I also think he's absolutely hot. His voice is one of my favorites of the group because it's very throaty, warm, and sensual (totally thinking about Don't Don here XD). And the way he smiles (when he genuinely smiles) -- his eyes turn into little crescents and his cheeks round out -- is the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life. I also think he's inordinately sexy when smoking and should do it more often in front of cameras because HOMG that would be pretty orgasmic. Oh, to be that cigarette...<3
(I do have to say something about Siwon, though -- he was the first one I *noticed* in Super Junior, because he's HOT SEX on legs, and his face is priceless. <3)
On the flip side, who’s your least favorite SuJu member? Why? (Try to be a little nice; your least favorite is probably someone’s favorite.): I feel bad for saying this but...Yehsung. He's definitely sexy, and he was the cutest little dork on EHB, but otherwise...I just haven't spent enough time fangirling over him. I don't dislike him; I just like him least. I don't know enough about him, besides his voice, his religion, and his Jeju Island birthmark LOL.
What’s your favorite SuJu pairing? (if you have one): KANGTEUK, BABY. Umma and Appa are my SuJu OTP because I am a total sucker for Mommy/Daddy pairings. But I do love their relationship -- they have wonderful chemistry. Their personalities balance out, and they totally fit their mom/dad roles within the big, loud, dysfunctional SuJu family. And they just look good together. XD HOWEVER, KiHae is a very close second with me because DAMN. Those two are fucking HOT. And there was way too much UST going on between them in the movie. :D
If you could be a SuJu member for a day, which member would you be? Why?: Kim Heechul, without a doubt. Who WOULDN'T want to be Rella for a day? First, I'd go find Hankyung and drape myself over him while he makes me some Beijing Fried Rice, then I'd go cuddle with Siwon and then order Hankyung over and have a threesome and then take half-naked pictures of myself with Heebummie the Cat to post on my cyworld. Oh, and THEN I'd barge in on some of the other members while they're in the shower and force them to take half-naked pictures with me. Afterwards, I'd come back downstairs and play computer games with Kibum, AND THEN I'd call up Mithra Jin to hang out. BEST DAY EVER. <333
Favorite color?: Lavender and orange
Favorite movie? Why?: I have two -- Reservoir Dogs and The Princess Bride; I enjoy tense heist dramas and ultra-violence AND I'm totally a hopeless romantic who loves screwy comedy.
Favorite saying/quote?: "As you wish." -- Westley from The Princess Bride XD
If you were an animal, what animal would you be, and why?: Probably a house cat -- I like to sleep, I do my own thing, but I can be very affectionate.
If you were a dessert, what dessert would you be, and why?: Fresh Apple Cake -- sweet, warm, and comforting.
High, medium, or low energy?: I'm usually low-key, but when I'm energetic, I'm totally off the chart. I really have no middle ground, but I tend to stay on the low end of the spectrum most of the time. High energy bursts are violent but rather infrequent.
Impulsive or cautious?: Impulsive when it comes to decisions that affect myself, but cautious when advising others.
Mature or Immature?: Mature, mostly, but I have my moments.
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: Somewhere in the middle. I'd say realistic, but I find that realism more often equals pessimism. D:
Touchy feely or not?: VERY touchy-feely. I could easily compete with Siwon in a skin-ship contest. XD I LOVE hugging people, holding people, and generally being physically close to other people. It's how I express that I care. I sometimes put people off by invading their "bubbles," but most who are uncomfortable at first get used to it after a while (in my experience, at least) and then eventually initiate the contact with me (since they know it's coming anyways). :D
Any pets? Tell us about them!: I have a cat whose name is Dulcinea. She's a torby-shell calico who enjoys sleeping on her back with her big white belly in the air. She loves to play in water and eat insects/spiders. She also does this "dance" on certain blankets -- she's a VERY eccentric cat.
Leader or follower?: Leader, mostly. I end up being a second mom to my friends, and I also usually end up taking a leader-type position in other areas.
Though I don't mind following someone else's lead when it works out that way.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?: Hmm. Well, there's this fountain outside of the Borders near my mom's house, and my friends and I got in it one afternoon and splashed around after spending most of the day studying for a huge history final. Yeah, not so crazy, I guess, but it was the most spur-of-the-moment decision I've ever made.
It's Saturday night. You have no obligations, a pocket full of cash, and time to kill. Where can you be found?: The bookstore, reading something. No, really. I'm a loser like that. D:
Some random stranger hugs you from behind. How do you react?: I'd probably say, "Um, hello," after quickly withdrawing from the hug.
You’ve been called on to be an actor/actress in a TV drama. What kind of drama/what genre of drama would you want to do? Why?: A comedic drama. There can be angsty bullshit or whatever, but I'd want some comic relief, too. No hardcore soap operas, I guess. Stuff that's all about the angst and such really gets on my nerves (unless it's absolutely pitch-perfect, but that rarely happens, IMO).
You're onstage... when you have a wardrobe malfunction. What comes next?: I'd continue whatever I was doing while trying my best not to collapse in hysterical laughter. When I'm on stage, I get giggly-nervous, so it'd be really hard to keep a straight face.
Pictures of yourself: ( Completely optional. :D)
Here's my hair eating my face.
More of my hair eating my face. D:
Hair is NOT eating my face (it's actually very tame in this picture...must've been a day with low humidity. XD)
