If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? First of all, let me say that this question took the most pondering and I actually saved it for last. There is so much hatred and labeling in the world. And I’m not just talking about the labeling that goes on in like high school where people are called “goth”, “prep”, whatever. That’s only the beginning of it because it happens in so many different ways. It’s like, how can we all be expected to fit into a neat little package of what society thinks we are? I know personally that the person I am changes from day to day. I’m in no way trying to bash the idea of grouping people into houses as a way of labeling, to me this is just you guys saying “Hey these are the people we think you’d like.” but I hate it when someone thinks they have you completely figured out when they know so little about you. So yeah, I would stop the catagorization of people based on silly things. If that makes sense.
What makes a person respectable? A respectable person is someone who doesn’t let the pressures of society beat down their ideas and beliefs. They stand by and will defend to any ends what they believe in. I understand that this answer could be taken that I am saying people who do terrible things could also be respectable, but the thing is that there very well could be to people who share their beliefs. It all depends on the way you look at it, really.
What do you look for in a friend? I don’t go places with the intention of making new friends, but I would never turn away from someone that I feel connected with. I can be horribly awkward at times. I hate talking to people who I don’t already know, which as you can probably imagine doesn’t exactly make it easy for me to make friends. I wouldn’t classify myself as shy though, since I have no problem getting up and speaking to a large group. I just have problems with one-on-one conversation. The first thing that attracts me to a potential friend is their sense of humor, mine can be a bit warped at times so if we laugh at the same things I’ll immediately like you. Once we get a few jokes going I feel more comfortable and will talk to you more openly. I guess overall the thing I look for in a friend is acceptance. I have a tendency of sugarcoating things sometimes because I’m afraid of being judged or looked down upon, if someone can make me open up and talk about my life and problems candidly I would consider them a good friend.
What are your hobbies? I’m the type of person who wants to try pretty much everything once, especially so with crafting. I could easily just type the word ‘crafts’ and explain my hobbies with just that but I’ll elaborate. I started drawing when I was small, and at the time I had an immediate talent for it. If I had cultivated my talent I would probably be a lot better at it today, but unfortunately I didn’t. I still like picking up a pencil, even though the results aren’t always what I hope for. I also enjoy crocheting, I taught myself about a year and a half ago and this winter learned a few new stitches. I’m still not very good at it, but at least I can say that I can do it! Just recently I also picked up papercrafting, specifically card making, mainly because greeting cards at the store are so expensive and I really wanted an excuse to buy scrapbook paper. I would do scrapbooking as well but I don’t really like taking pictures, I just want to play around with all the interesting tools. I try to make it a point too to read often, ideally I’ll go through a book a week but it doesn’t always work out. Normally I like to read fantasy and young adult books. I find adult books can be too serious at times, and I don’t really want to read about real life situations. If I was interested in that I would deal with my own life instead of trying to get absorbed into a book! I’m also a movie fanatic. Last year I was going to the movies every weekend, I think I must have saw almost 50 films in the theatre!
Have or would you give time and money to a charity? I have given time and money in the past, but nowadays I’m more likely to just give my money.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish? Only one thing? Well, okay. I want to be involved somehow in the making of films. I don’t care what I do, whether I’m in front of, or behind the camera or just getting coffee for someone. I’d love going to my local movie theatre and seeing my name roll by on the credits.
Who is your role model? I don’t have one in particular. There’s a lot of people who I think do wonderful things and are great people, but I don’t want to be just like them. I’d much rather let them influence and inspire me to do my own thing that has the potential to be great.
What trait most annoys you about other people? People who feel that they should be put up on a pedestal, or treated better than others. I work in a more upscale neighborhood than the one I live in, and I see this a lot there. They assume that I should respect them and treat them like their god’s gift simply because they have money to throw around.
What do you want to do for a living? Graphic design, elementary school art teacher, or screenwriter.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do? Well, I’m one of those people who when in a conflict become completely powered by adrenaline and think they’re ten feet tall. So I would probably get myself right into the middle of things and try to push them apart. If it was a person doing the attacking I would more than likely immediately start yelling a string of profanity (haha) and then try to figure out what the person’s issue was. If it was an animal or magical beast, I would grab my friend and drag them away from it as quickly as possible.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason? If myself or someone I cared for was being threatened I would more than likely attempt to use it. Not that I would get pleasure from seeing them suffer, I but I would like to give them what they had coming.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
Creative- I work in a craft store, and I think I am very good at finding ways to put things together. One of my favorite things about work is when kids come in with school projects and I get to help them come up with ways to do it. I remember when I was in high school and our theatre class put together a talent show every year. A lot of the script writing got put on me since I was always coming up with crazy ideas, but I didn’t mind because I love putting my ideas down on paper and figuring out a way to bring them all together. I think this also ties in with me having artistic hobbies.
Good Listener- I will be the first to tell you that I’m not much of an advice giver. But I will sit all night and just listen to my friends talk if they need to talk. I’ve done it before, and I like to get a glimpse at the inner working of my loved ones.
Spontaneous- I am known for the random things that come out of my mouth sometimes. It’s always amusing to hear what I’m thinking because most of the time I have no idea where it came from to begin with. I also tend to get something in my head of the blue and can’t rest until I get it done.
Funny- That’s what people tell me anyway. Yes I do laugh at my own jokes, but sometimes they really are that good! And there’s nothing better than getting someone to smile.
Emotionally Strong- I’ve been through some tough stuff, in my opinion, and I’m always “the rock”. The one people can talk to, whose shoulder they can cry on. I never really noticed this about myself, but it’s been pointed out to me and I think it’s a good quality. It makes me confident that I can face things with the potential to break me but only come out stronger because of it.
What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
Indecisive- I will try on every piece of clothing in a store and then finally decide on the first thing I tried on. I do this all the time! If I’m given two choices, I’ll reluctantly choose one and then wonder what would have happened if I’d chosen the other. Nothing is ever definite.
Aloof- I think this comes from my Aquarius nature, but I have an awful tendency of being distant even with people I care about. I don’t like to talk about personal things because I don’t like people worrying about me.
Which brings me too...
Worrier- I mainly do this with my family. I worry if they’re okay, if I’ve hurt their feelings, etc. I have a nasty habit of taking their problems upon myself because I don’t want them to have to go through pain and sadness.
I’m not really sure what the word for this is but, I’ll just put up with something until I can’t possibility take anymore and it’s just been grating away on my nerves, and then I’ll blow up about it. When I really should have talked about what was bothering me from the beginning.
Define in your own words the following key traits:
Courage: Having the ability to fight for what you believe in regardless of circumstances.
Loyalty: Sticking by a person or cause, no matter what. Being able to celebrate the good times without jealousy and support them through the bad times. Especially in the bad times.
Intelligence: Someone is intelligent when they know a lot about more than one subject. And it’s just knowing a lot about educational subjects, they know a lot about life in general and are willing to share it with others without trying to act superior because of it.
Ambition: The drive to get what you desire, even if it means risking something you already have.
