Name/Nickname: Tez
Age: Must I say? Sigh. Old enough.
Likes: Chocolate (really, just about anything with sugar as long as it isn't artificially banana flavored; my waist hates me for this addiction), anime, manga, the occasional video game, music, dance, good comedy, really entertaining reality TV (We're talking Project Runway here, not Survivor), spending time with my sweetie, RP, good friends, interior decorating, Northwest weather in the spring and fall
Dislikes: Idiots, bigots, narrow-mindedness, artificial banana flavor, nuts of all stripes (except peanuts but those are legumes, yo), micromanagement, not being in control of my own destiny, people who think I ought to be able to read minds, people who pre-judge without actually thinking first
Strong points: I'm a talker, and I'm a good one. For a long time I was in the sales field, and I could probably sell you on anything if you gave me a bit of time to talk it up. I'm outgoing, I'm friendly, I love kids, I'll bust my ass for you if you've earned it out of me, I always do my best no matter what life deals me.
Weaker points: If I don't like you I can be the cattiest bitch on the planet, or the iciest. Depends on what you did to make me not like you. I don't have a lot of patience with stupidity, I can be lazy at times, I often succumb to inertia (not really wanting to do anything if I haven't been doing anything for a while), and I really don't take well to people lording their authority over me.
Hobbies &/or Talents: I sing what I'd deem to be fairly well; I majored in music. I dance, though I'm very rusty at the moment. I like to think I'm an OK RPer. I read, I write (mostly mediocre slashfic), I draw worse than Rukia.
Favorite color: Man, do I have to have one? Probably some variant on maroon or brown, since that's all I seem to be wearing these days. Either that or red; my hair is bright red.
Favorite animal: Tie between cats and betta fish. I have both.
Favorite season: Fall. There's a certain charm to my area during the first part of the fall; the weather's usually beautiful, the rain hasn't really started up yet, the leaves are falling...it's lovely, it's serene, and I like the crunch of dead leaves as I'm walking.
Mature or Immature: Mature. Most of the time.
Leader or Follower: Leader; I don't like other people dictating my life.
Outgoing or Shy: Outgoing! Hi! How ya doing?
Confident or Modest: Overconfident on a lot of things.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: Realistic.
Low, medium, or high energy level: Medium. I'm too old to have a high energy level.
Goals in life: Get my masters' degree, most likely in public relations or political science, go to work with the legislature, take over the world. (Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?)
Favorite quote & why: "The prayer is this: that we do not become a monster in order to defeat a monster." Bono, Rose Garden, Portland, OR, 12/19/2005. One of the most memorable moments of the best concert I've ever been to. I haven't listened to "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" the same way since.
Describe your personality in three words or more: Extroverted, Unpredictable, Unique.
Favorite character & why: Aizen Sousuke. Hands down no questions asked. It is so rare that you get a genuine honest-to-god villain in any decent story, and to have one that flew under the radar for centuries as the nicest guy known to all mankind...? Sheer freakin' genius. It gets no better than that.
Least favorite character & why: Anime: Lilin. Oh lord she grates on my nerves so badly there aren't words for it. I almost dropped the Bount arc entirely when I heard that damn giggle. She makes me want to claw my ears off with my acrylic nails.
Anything else: Anyone who votes for me gets mochi out of Ukitake's treat stash!
