KanIno pwns all!
What are three positive adjectives that you would use to describe yourself (please try to go into some detail for each one!)?:
Determined - I may not be the most confident of people but what I do have is determination and lots of it. I have dreams and I will achieve them and nothing is going to stop me, nothing at all. Mark my words people... I WILL lose fourteen pounds ready for A-Kon in May, I WILL find the confidence I once had and I WILL achieve my ten-year-old dream of moving to America. My American dream always keeps me going even when i'm seriously low.
Imaginative - I'm prone to daydreaming a lot, which often develops into potential plotbunnies for fanfiction, ideas for days/evening out with my friends and other wacky plans. I can also think of the most random things to say and can take something simple and make it a bloody complicated mess. My friends can also back me up on this as well... back in the days of playing Neopets I always thought of an inventive background for my Aishas and would create brilliant webpages for them.
Trustworthy - When I was a kid and I used to run around the street I lived in my then best friends... sisters... would often tell me gossip about each other and trusted me not to tell the other, which I never did. I then got a rep of being the trusted one and that's never really disappeared from me. Hand on my heart, I will keep your secrets, I will keep your worries, I will keep your problems locked inside of me. At the end of the day I would hate it so much if I told somebody one of my most darkest secrets and they ended up blabbing it to everyone in sight... so I don't see the need in being hypocriticial and telling people what I know about others.
What are three negative adjectives that you would use to describe yourself?:
Quiet - Once upon a time I used to be this confident little girl who would run around screaming and saying what she thought without giving a crap about other people's opinions. Then in 1999, my Gran... my rock... died. Since that day my confidence has slowly but surely gone down the hill, am now i'm seen as the shy, quiet little daydreamer on the information desk... and it irks me. I do have a new years resolution to try and be more confident, to try and be that girl I once was cause dammit I am opinionated and I do have a view on everything whether it's right or wrong... I just tend to not spit it out like I used to. Hopefully i'll be louder come the start of 2009.
Pessimistic - Even when i'm having the best day of my life there's a part of me that wonders how long this is going to last/what is going to happen to wreck said good day. The glass will always be half empty for me no matter what... blame my emotionally-draining-at-times life.
Selfish - I am selfish to an insane degree. Now if it's friends birthdays or Christmas it's a different story as I will buy a ton of things for them... although part of the reason is because I like to see their reactions when they unwrap an awesome gift from me, ha ha... yet any other time of the year? No way am I parting with my precious money. I have been selfish since a kid, when I downright refused to let anybody touch my toys/play with them in case they got damaged... and it's never left me. I'm an attention whore if I need to be, I will do my best to get the most chocolates from the tin/get the pick of anything and everything I own is belong to me. End of.
Would others agree with the above adjectives? Would they possibly use different ones to describe you (and, if yes, which ones would you not be surprised to see)?
Yes and no. They would agree with the positive adjectives and maybe with the selfishness as I know I can be big time... yet maybe not for the other two. They would replace me being quiet with me being confident... yet I always argue that i'm not. Sure, i'm talkative around them and act like a great big spazzoid... that's because I KNOW them and it is NOT how I was when I was a child/in my early teens, where I was sprightly around everyone, including strangers. That's the confidence I want back and until that day I will always see myself as being quiet and shy.
The pessimism is debatable. The friends often call me emotional... my argument? I only seem to express anger and depression well, which I associate with sadness which therefore links to pessimism. *shrug*
If YOU were able to create a ninja village, what symbol would you want on your forehead protector?
Kankuro's symbol. Tayuya flipping the bird. A raindrop.
It shows optimism and pessimism at the same time. When it falls it shows sorrow and dperession but to get to that stage it has to undergo a lot of stages... which can show determination, optimism, that the circle of life will always continue no matter what gets you down/angry.
What type of weather and/or which season do you prefer?
I love Autumn. I get childish kicks in kicking and stamping on the fallen leaves and the weather is generally perfect for me; the sun is not too hot and the breeze is not too cold.
What type of location do you see yourself more likely to live in (for example: near water, in the desert, near a forest, etc.)?
The outskirts of a large town or a city. I'm the sort of girl who has no complaints if I doesn't see my friends for a few days, if I have to do things alone... and I adore travelling on my own. At the same time I also like to hang around with my friends and I enjoy the city life, the hustle and bustle... it really depends on how i'm feeling when I wake up. By living on the outskirts I am not on my own and also, i'm not overcrowded either. A win-win sitch for me!
Would you like ninja training in your village to be harsh in order for the strongest to advance, or would you rather it be more forgiving of mistakes?
Be more forgiving. People can learn from their mistakes and become stronger than those who push themselves to the limit from the get-go. I have learnt from my own mistakes in the past and am now better for it... i'm sure others will be the same.
Speaking of missions, would you prefer only hard or advanced missions for all of your resident ninja or would you not mind them participating in simpler errands if need be?
I say start from the bottom and work your way up; it really is the only way to get through in life, you cannot cut corners. I have worked with people who started off being a somebody who worked on the tills on a Saturday to being a full-time Team Leader and I have been to school with people who were only predicted G's in their exams yet buckled down and passed with flying colours. Patience really is a virtue in life and I would want to live in a village who shares that belief.
Would you prefer living in a more populated and busy village, or one more rural/country-like?
*gestures to the answer to the location question* Something in the middle for moi please.
All hidden villages have a leader...what kind of leader would you most respect and why?
One who will defend his or her people to the hilt yet at the same time is willing to take a risk. Somebody who is mature yet have childish moments. Somebody who doesn't look at people like they are shit or sees themselves as being superior. A person with confidence, determination and is always game for a laugh.
To be blunt, somebody who will see me as their friend and not a subject.
Would you prefer it if your village's leader had almost total power and control over the workings of the village, or shared it with some kind of council?
A council. Where I work I have basically no respect for my Team Leader because she is a bossy, manipulative, lazy, underworked/overpaid, useless bitch who gets kicks from trying to knock me down, abuses her power and who really shouldn't be in the job... yet the trio of top managers at the store? They work well as a team and together keep the store running. They also have the qualities that I stated in my above answer.
Anything else?: I WANT THIS BEANIE DAMMIT!!!!!!!111111111111111 *spazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
