What You Bring To The Table
What kind of person are you? Describe yourself with four “I am” or “I am not” statements:
1) I am intelligent.
2) I am a bookworm.
3) I am impatient with stupid people.
4) I am organized.
What are your major hobbies and interests?: I read a lot, and I spend a lot of time on the internet, mostly in an IRC channel full of people I know from GaiaOnline. On Gaia, I'm mostly in the Breedable/Changing Pets subforum, where I work as a colorist for a shop called Faekats.
Do you have any body mods? Which? What? Show us! Just one hole in each ear, and my left nostril. The nose piercing should be visible in at least one of the photos above. I wear a small green screw/stud.
What do you consider your biggest accomplishment so far?: Planning my wedding was pretty big. Academically, I was a valedictorian for my senior class in high school.
How much time do you spend on the internet daily?: A lot >__>
Are you very talkative? In a good way?: Not IRL, but online, yes. I think it's in a good way. At least, people don't tell me to shut up.
Do a lot of people have romantic crushes on you?: I don't think so. Maybe a couple people.
Do people ever tell you you’re too serious or not serious enough? Why?: Probably too serious. I like to stay home a lot; I'm not big on parties or getting drunk.
Have you ever been involved with rating communities? What do you think of them?: Nope. They're not something that has ever appealed to me.
How much education do you have?: High school, and several years of college, although I didn't graduate.
Do you think degrees and book learning are important?: Yes
What is the craziest thing you've ever done in your life?: I don't really do crazy things. I did go to Japan when I was 11. Not really crazy, but it was a big deal. I also took a Greyhound bus from Columbus to Baltimore to hang out with friends from the internet.
State a strong opinion or view that you have and can defend: Internet friends are just as much 'friends' as people 'IRL.'
Let’s Get Personal
Would you rather be 20 or 30 forever if you could choose?: 30
How do you define your racial and identity?: White, American, of western European descent. [And what?]
How do you define your sexuality and gender? How did you arrive at this identity, and do you feel comfortable?: Bisexual female. I realized I liked girls in high school. It really wasn't a big deal. My boyfriend (who is now my husband) and my parents were supportive. So yes, I'm comfortable with it.
If you could have one super power what would it be?: Some combination of telepathy/telekinesis/teleportation would be pretty badass.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?: One, two, many, lots.
Do you have a label like “goth” or “emo” or “preppy” for your sense of style? What is it?: Not really. I pretty much live in jeans and message/picture tees. I like soft and comfortable clothing.
Are you a vegetarian or vegan? Why or why not? Nope. I like meats.
What are your philosophic or religious beliefs (in general) ?: Basically agnostic. I don't ascribe to any specific religious tenets, although I do occasionally attend St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, which is very liberal and progressive.
Make us laugh:
The Crowd Wants To Know
What do you want to get out of The Dinner Crowd?: Is 'food for thought' too trite? (I said I like terrible puns!)
Do you think highly of yourself? Explain why or why not?: I suppose. There's no sense of self-loathing, but I'm not stuck up either.
How did you find us?: Cece's journal
