Mishaps are like knives...
Name: Bindiya
Age: 21
Location: Anywhere but where I ought to be.
Birthday: May 28th 1985 Valerie's birth year in the movie...you had no idea the squeeing that occured because of this.
Zodiac: Gemini
Gender: Your silly binary system amuses me.
Orientation: Pansexual
Lineage: Maternal side is primarily Punjabi, North Indian. ...from India, just in case that needed clarifying. A preemptive to prevent embaressed questioning later.
Paternal side is a strong German/Irish mix, with a little Dutch, French, British, and a DASH (reading as one individual) of Roma tossed into the mix. I am the increasingly common Euromutt.
•Behind the Mask•
Decribe yourself in 5 words: What my mirror reflects. Sometimes.
Likes: One-of-a-kind objects and thrift/retro stores, skydiving, things of wit or exceptional cleverness, my friends, wasabi, aesthetically pleasing things, jewelery (silver, not gold, please), orchids, GOOD quality food, a good story (whether in a book, movie, or word of mouth), roleplaying, alcohol (trust us, we KNOW why the rum is gone), toying with people's heads, culturally unique music (techno irish, traditional Indian, German trance, Japanese rap, etc), exotic weapons, action/adventure/fantasy movies, orchids, flirting, and the smell of AXE in the morning.
Dislikes: Close-minded people, people who can't be themselves, my biological mother, being bored and/or alone, too much neat, order, or quiet (chaos > order), authority figures who either get a big head over their 'power' or try to impress their authority on ME, snobs, prudes, bible-bangers, and the ones who keep trying to shut the party down. It never fails. You start having fun and they call in the law enforcement...
Talents: Well, I can keep a cool head in most situations...I'm a rather smooth talker, if I do say so myself. And I do. Oh! Does being able to send a 6ft+ professional football player crawling away on his hands and knees in terror count as a talent? That'd have to be one of my favorites. I've also got a bit of an artistic streak in me...writing, drawing, music making, the whole lot of it fascinates me. What can I say? A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Hobbies: Role-playing, graphics and drawing, writing, being snarky, turning heads, throwing computer monitors off bridges at moving trains at midnight (alright, it was just the once, but it was fun!), indulging in various forms of substance abuse, ordering people around, scaring people (intentionally and not), sleeping, and being too lazy to give a damn.
Favorite color: Silver. Like quicksilver, a liquid that, if you try to force in one direction, it scatters everywhere and slips away from you. Mercurial, eye-catching, and compatible with other cool colors. It has a mystery and an elegance to it...not as brash as gold, but not as mundane as a simple grey. You get where I'm going with this, don't you? It DOES happen to be my favorite color...but I really do feel it's an appropriate color for my personality, as well.
Favorite Food: Sushi, hands down. Especially unagi. Mmmm, eel. Squid's good too. Getting quite fond of alligator, as well. Rather big on seafood in general.
Favorite Movies: Little I love better than a rolling adventure. Swords? Magic? Fantastic creatures and the eternal struggle of man's inner nature played out on grand scales? Bring it. So on my list of current favorites would be Pirates of the Caribbean, The Princess Bride, Gladiator, Labyrinth, and Lord of the Rings. More reality-grounded movies are fine, too. (*cough*V for Vendetta*cough*) And I love movies that make you sit back, scratch your head, and make you go 'wtf?', until you've seen it a few times (or watch it under the influence of your favorite substance) and can finally wrap your head around it. Pink Floyd's The Wall, Natural Born Killers, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas are also HUGE favorites of mine.
Music: Hardly a type of music I don't like. I tend to stick to rock, whether it's classic, hard, or foreign altogether. Classical is also a favorite of mine, particular scores and soundtracks from my favorite movies. In fact, look at the list of movies above. Look at the soundtracks and scores. That's pretty much what I listen to on a regular basis.
Phobias: Being forced to depend on someone else and being let down. Having my past decisions return to haunt me. Anything with a mouth large enough to bite down and come away with a decent sized chunk of me. Not being remembered after I'm gone. Really really really tall things (don't know why, they just unnerve me...statues...high ceilings...they make me irrationally dizzy).
Goals: At the end of my life, I want to be remembered. To have someone think back on me with even the smallest amount of fondness or curiosity when I'm no longer around. To have something to live on in...a movie, a picture, a story, something that stirs the memory and keeps the dust from collecting, so that it doesn't fade with time, but remains new, something added or something elaborated on as it passes on through time. Because by that time, nothing else is really going to matter to me, wherever I end up at. And in the meanwhile, I plan on taking life a day at a time. The future will come, and the past is gone. The now, the moments existing that we can touch and hold, those are all that matter to me at this point.
Give song lyrics that describe you:
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
I Miss You by Blink 182. I'm not really a fan, and the overall romantic sentiment of the song isn't quite what I was going for...but the imagery is lovely, and those particular verses have meaning, scarily similar to certain instances in my life. Inquire at will, if you're curious, or smile, shake your head, and move on to the next question.
•This or That•
Hero or villain? I have no issue whatsoever being the villain. It's a part I play very well...though as far as villains go, I'm terribly well-meaning. I'm more interested in having a good laugh at the hero's expense than, say, conquering the world. Who wants the responsibility of so many people's lives on their hands? I'm not good authority figure material...though I acquire followers/minions with surprising ease. Don't ask me to explain, I couldn't possibly.
Past or future? The past is gone and the future is uncertain. Why not simply live in the present, for today and what is in your hands?
Water or fire? No one could possibly deny the power in water...but personally? Give me something shiny that goes boom. I'll be happy cackling to myself over there.
Wisdom or knowledge? Knowledge is easily accquired over time. The wisdom to USE it, however, is not. Knowledge also brings dispair, if you haven't the wisdom to put it to the proper use. So...wisdom, most definitely.
Reality or fiction? I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Simplicity or complexity? I am a very complex person. If you've noticed, most if not all my answers contain a certain...duality to them. I blame being a Gemini, entirely.
That isn't to say I don't appreciate simplicity. I can just never be a part of it.
Cautious or brave? Being brave involves facing what you fear. I don't fear much, but I'm horrible at dealing with the fears I do have. Besides, what use is bravery, really? A good dose of caution is always the wisest course.
•Ideas are bullet-proof•
A paragraph on something political you feel strongly about: Religion in politics. So much stupidity has occured in the name of religion. The funny thing? Just about ALL these religions preach the exact same concepts. And here we have these morons running around, using their religion as justification for being, pardon my french, complete asshats.
STOP USING RELIGION AS A CRUX. Jesus loves you. Allah has promised you a paradise with fourty virgins. That's wonderful. I couldn't care less if it was Krishna or Buddah or Elvis Presley that loves you. That doesn't give you the right to impose YOUR holier than thou routine onto everyone else, because you feel you're somehow 'enlightened' and you're somehow doing the rest of us a favor by letting us know that we're not fufilling YOUR ideals of what should or should not go down. Stick to the basics of your religions. And the basics are essentially the same. If you're so keen on attaining whatever paradise you've been promised, be decent to other people. Don't steal, don't kill, just mind your own business, for crying out loud. Do you REALLY need a higher power to tell you to behave yourself? It's not. That. Difficult. Ye gods.
•V for Vendetta•
Favorite character: Valerie. I adore that woman's story so, so much...it chokes me up everytime, and makes me FURIOUS that that sort of injustice isn't just fiction. It's happening all around us. Still. It's a cause I feel very strongly about...
Least favorite character: Sutler. Yes, Creedy's a scumbag, but at least he has the sense God gave a grasshopper. Sutler doesn't have a clue about diplomacy, tact, manipulation...all these things, he hands off to someone else. He's USELESS. How did he end up a politician anyway? What POSSIBLY made that transition in his life?
If you were given a chance to look behind V's mask, would you? Of course not. That's fair near insulting. I'm a curious person by nature, but that's as close to sacrilege as you could get outside religious context.
Would you have joined V's revolution? We're here, aren't we? I think that's a fairly obvious question. If you're a fan of the book or film, then you obviously take these things to heart. So in your own way...you're already part of it.
One or two pictures of yourself please. If you have none, you can describe how you look:
