Name: Stephanie
Nickname: Teachers call me S.
Zodiac: Aries.
Age:17.
Current occupation: Student.

Likes: Libraries, old books, anthropology (linguistic, cultural and biological), history (particularly Asian and South-American), languages, neuropsychology (this one is the love of my life), school, 'pure' people, statistics, science magazines, JSTOR, finding research paper topics and reading the relevant literature, anime, manga, pajamas, pillows.
Dislikes: Crowds, loud music (consequently, people who walk around in the subway while I can hear their music), group projects, intellectual dishonesty, stupidity, lack of curiosity, overemotional people, exercising, having to take action, vegetables, people who try to drag me to clubs or bars (even if I was old enough), housekeeping tasks, spelling and grammar mistakes, depending on others, bullies, exhortation, people who still can't use proper referencing styles after two years of college, people who can't appreciate sarcasm, being called an overachiever, people who call me smart and then have a pathetic attempt at manipulating me.
Hobbies: Learning in general, reading (fiction and otherwise), messing around on the internet, annoying others about the most recent thing I learned, tutoring college statistics, violin, piano.
Talents:
- Academics.
- Understanding theories.
- Rapid reading and typing.
Strong points:
- My intrinsic curiosity.
- Childish enthusiasm.
- Good memory and observation skills.
- Ability to adapt to new situations.
- Good control of my emotions.
- I am skillful at manipulation when circumstances demand it.
- My objectivity and rapidity when it comes to crisis situations.
- I'm actually (surprisingly) trustworthy.
- Strong logic.
Weak points:
- Sometimes (most of the time), people can't seem to be able to tell whether I'm serious or not.
- Sometimes outwardly flighty while in reality I'm sedate.
- Arrogance, cynicism and sarcasm.
- I tend to avoid all action and resort to hiding inside my own mind.
- Inability to trust (one of those "kid who skipped a grade gets bullied" stories).
- I'm physically weak.
- I forget to do things that are related to 'real life' (turning my library books in on time, changing out of my slippers when I leave the house, birthdays, etc).
- I'm often unable to muster deep attachments to other people.
- I tend to be very blunt, even when people are looking for emotional support.
- I'm easily bored and need constant mental stimulation.
- I'm messy (and I don't clean up after myself).
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Why? It's too troublesome to be bored this easily, so I'd change that.

How do your friends decribe you? "Opinionated", "BORED." "Thirsty for knowledge", "Would die without the internet -- DIE. Would live longer on internet than food." (Clarification: I get most of my knowledge from the internet, hence my love for JSTOR aka my favorite academic journal database).
Would you do anything for a friend? No. I'm too selfish.
How do you usually dress? Whatever is most comfortable.
Do you believe in supernatural events/creatures? No, but they're fun to think about ^_^

Favorite Color: Grey.
Favorite Food: When I remember that I need to eat, usually junk food and deserts.
Favourite Flower: Tacca chantrieri. In Malaya they call it the Devil's Flower. Strange, fascinating stories surround it, originating, no doubt, from the malevolent way the eyes in the bloom seem to be following your every move.

Leader or Follower? I'm a natural leader, but will only take that place if I deem it necessary.
Logical or Intuitive? I'm intuitive in the sense that I tend to 'skip' steps in my thinking; when the time comes to explain my logic, I have to backtrack to see what jumps I made and insert the appropriate steps. In the day-to-day sense of intuition, however, I tend to ignore it in favor of logic.
Optimistic or Pessimistic? Pessimistic.
Extroverted or Introverted? Introverted, but not shy (in the sense that I don't go towards people, but have no problems talking to people without feeling embarrassed and have no qualms about public speaking).
Confident or Modest? Confident in the sense that I know my capacities, modest in the sense that I dislike getting too much praise.

Do you like cute things? ^_^ Yes.
Do you like shiny things? Not really.
Pick any object of your choice.Why? My laptop. The internet is convenient enough to supply me with an endless supply of information, anime, manga and novels.
Cast a spell for us:  Retsu zai zen.

Have you watched the anime? what's your favourite episode? Yes. All of them!
Favourite TACTICS character.Why?  Kantarou - for his manipulative streak and intelligence not to mention the fact that he's just too cute.
Least Favorite TACTICS Character.Why? >.< None.
f you could be a TACTICS character for 24 hours, who would you be? Sugino.
Why? I get the feeling it would be very interesting.

Do you think the mod should add and/or remove some questions in the application? Nope.

Where did you hear about this community? It was linked in another community's affiliates.

Anything Else? Um... I feel naked without my glasses.

Please post one or two pictures of yourself, all behind an LJ-cut. (Describe your appearance if you have no photos.) Short. Relatively thin. Very pale-skinned. Yellowish green eyes. Light brown hair. Glasses.
