What do you feel is your best quality? Why?: The quality that I love the most about myself is my above-average intelligence and ability to comprehend, but I doubt that it's my best. Then again, I don't think I have many. I believe it would be my consideration for other people, and independence. I'm more considerate than anyone I know. I say Please and Excuse Me to no end each day, and I try to never complain, in fear I'll burden someone else. Wherever I sit, I make sure I'm not blocking anyone's view. Anything I do, even if I don't like the people around me, I make sure that they're comfortable. That's what really matters. I don't want to bother someone after all. As for my independence, it's more like indifference. I'm a confident and self-assured person, I know who I am. Hence, I'm sure that sort of aura emmitts from me, and as a result, people commonly look to me as a leader. I know how to take control, and I like it. But I know how to do things myself, and I prefer it that way.
Your worst? Why?: I've got many more horrible than wonderful, I'm sad to say. If I had to pick one (Or two), I would certainly put in there how hard on myself I am. Personally, I don't believe it. But everyone who's ever seen through me (Which is usually my teachers, since I always get attached to them), has told me that consistantly, with some sort of worried expression. I have the need to push and push myself, because I'm never satisfied. I've never been relaxed, my mind is always churning, and I can't ever just be at peace. Nothing is good enough for me. Even though I'm very lax and accepting of the accomplishments of others, for myself nothing is satisfactory. I get to the point that I feel sufforcation, in a way. Where I can't breathe, because I'm trying to breathe in something more; I'm trying to grasp that air, but I can't. I'm trying to reach for something more. It's a horrible feeling, being caught in lingo like that. Not to mention, I've been to the point of self-harm because I wasn't satisfied with myself. I've cut, bruised, and verbally abused myself, to the point I was insanely close to being sent to a hospital. Unless it's beyond perfect, I just can't be happy with what I've done. It's a wretched state.
What's your favorite quote? Why?: "When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't." - Thomas Edison. This quote inspires me, because we always have a choice. We're individuals, and we make our own power and future.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Why?: To stop pushing people away. Independence is a double-edged sword, as many know. And whenever someone gets too close to me, my body and mind react naturally, to push them away. It's so hard to let people in, even in public situations when guys come to hit on me, I suppose, I recline into myself. I've surrounded myself with armed guards, at the point I can't let anyone in. Even my closest friends, if they try to pry in too deep, I push. It's so hard to control.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? Why?: The mindsets of people. I want them to open their eyes, to clear their minds; to see what they're really doing. The violence, the murder, the sadness, the anger... I want them to be able to be happy and awake. Not blind.
Why do you like the anime/manga Prince of Tennis?: Prince of Tennis is an excellent series, especially for the characters. I love examining the psyches of the different characters, and how they evolve and develop over the series' time. The fandom is very amusing as well.
Who is your favourite character? Why? (You won't be judged on this): It's hard to pick, but... I really like Akutsu. Then again, it's more like love. He's simply... fascinating. He's different than everyone else. He smokes, reads porn, and he's the complete opposite of everything I am and stand for. Perhaps it's true opposites can attract?
Who is your least favourite character? Why?: Not really anyone. They're all vital, and unique, in their own ways.
What's your favourite pairing? Why?: Tachibanacest (Tachibana Kippei x Tachibana An) all the way. I mean, it's perfect. An's brother complex is at a scary level high, and they both seem to silently understand each other. Plus, they look darn, dare I say it, sexy together. Ahh~ Now I'm embarressed! So crude...
What's your least favourite pairing? Why?: Yaoi, and RyomaxSakuno. Really, I'm just not fond of Sakuno, and I'd love to see Ryoma paired with a much more interesting girl. Now, don't hate me for this, I just don't support BoyxBoy relationships very much. I have exceptions for real life, but in fandom, I'm not a big fan to put it lightly.
If you got to choose a character in the show to be for 24 hours, who would it be? Why?: Perhaps... Jackal. No, I'm serious! He's a very hard-working character, and very un-loved! I'd enjoy spending some time in his shoes~
How did you find this community?: Through

Anything else?: I've been dreaming of a place like this <3EDIT: I thought I should also add... how I am THE ultimate control freak. Seriously! I NEED control all the time! I dictate my surroundings, I have a CERTAIN seat where I sit, and I don't sit anywhere else, so if it's taken I don't sit at all. When playing a game, I HAVE to be player 1 so I can be in control. Seriously, it just goes on from there xD I get all pissy and twitchy when I don't have control. I also do the mirror/reflection thing where you stare at yourself in ANYTHING you can whenever you pass by something. Haha~ Not to mention I am supremely sarcastic. 50% of what comes out of my mouth will be sarcasm.
