Soul Society!
Name/Nickname: Chey
Age: 18
Likes: Reading, classical music, photography, going for walks, history and foreign cultures, lilacs, cats, when the leaves change colour in autumn, feeling loved, the elderly, nice people, comedies, movies, having things in common with others, learning languages, joking around, gardening, traveling (which I've yet to do much of.. but hope to!)
Dislikes: Angry people, Immature comments, getting low grades, horror movies (I can get easily spooked, haha), unreliable people, liars, pollution, ridiculously cynical people, mathematics, hot weather, feeling unwanted, in-your-face atheists, being far from the ocean, most dogs, animal/child/spousal abuse, ignorance without the wish to remedy it, rap/R&B music, cruelty.
Strong points: I'm told I have a calming presence. I care a lot about people, and other living things and feel a great deal of empathy. I have a good ear (musically), and I enjoy making others feel happy. I am able to apply myself to things that interest me and go through with tasks that I have, or others, have set for me. I am honest as well, and if I ever do tell a white lie, people can tell right away.
Weaker points: I am a shy person who is most often quiet, unless I know the person well (then I will joke around with them and talk much more, and open up.) I'm a perfectionist that can be self critical to the point I'll feel ill.When I am feeling down or left out, I tend to withdraw away from people. I can also be quite defensive sometimes when the topic is something dear or sensitive to me, and am bothered a lot by certain noises.
Hobbies &/or Talents: Gardening, playing cello, reading, going for walks.
And.. I think I'd feel somewhat full of myself if I listed my "talents." I have high standards for myself, so to get to that point to call them talents... I don't know. I hope to honestly feel that I do have it for some thing, some day.
Favorite color: Sage green
Favorite animal: Little birds
Favorite season: Autumn (late October)
Mature or Immature: For the most part, I think I'm a fairly mature person. Especially in most of the choices I make, I can say that I think it through in a mature way. Of course I enjoy having a little childish fun once in a while, though! Life would be boring without that.
Leader or Follower: I suppose you could say I am a follower, but when I have my own ideas, I will attempt to have them heard if I feel they can contribute.
Outgoing or Shy: Shy.
Confident or Modest: I'm pretty modest.. considering my confidence percentage is likely about a 0.5. Or less.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: I can say that I am most definitely an optimist. Hope is what gets me through my day. If I was pessimistic and cynical, I honestly don't think I could do it. I feel it's important to stay hopeful as often as you can. Of course there are bad days, but I'm grateful that I am not always pessimistic.
Low, medium, or high energy level: Maybe medium (unless I'm excited about some thing!) though occasionally I will have low energy for a few days in a row.
Goals in life: I would really like to make friends, and become a better cello player! Career wise, I'd like to study in botany as well as floral arrangement and maybe take a few years in music school.
Favorite quote & why:
"Emotions are very simple. I don’t find them complex at all, to be quite honest. The girl who got laughed at, or the girl who was laughing at the girl: You’re one or the other, my friend. Or there is one other option: You’re the girl who’s trying to divert attention so you don’t get laughed at, and you’re trying to stay friends with the girl who’s laughing at the other girl. That’s where I was; I think that’s where most girls are. You’re trying to stay friends with the girl who’s laughing at the other girl so you won’t become the girl getting laughed at. That’s cowardice." -Tori Amos
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Describe your personality in three words or more: Gentle, Good-Hearted, Musical
Favorite character & why: Ever since I started reading the series many years ago, Orihime's always been my favorite. I just felt that she stood out among all the other characters in a good way. She was fresh and new, and terribly cute.
Least favorite character & why: Gin sort of creeps me out. A lot.
Anything else: Just a few pictures. (Sorry for the odd sizes!)
