:D!
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
After pondering for several minutes, I've decided I wouldn't change anything. First I thought about eliminating people's need to stereotype and discriminate bases on the loosest impressions. Then I flipped to something about stopping deforestation or obesity or helping the hungry (humorous considering I often want to take Swift's Modest Proposal more seriously). But none of it really makes any difference. The world is as it is with all it's imperfections and negativity and beauty. It's the flaws that lead to advancement and make life so interesting.
What makes a person respectable?
Loyalty and Integrity.
Loyalty to one's beliefs. Loyalty to one's promises. Loyalty to one's friends. Control, intelligence, and maturity are important as well. Someone can be dumb as a box of rocks (I'm using that trait as a basis for comparison since I'm usually first attracted to very witty and intellectual people) and still keep their moral ground and commitments, and they will have earned my respect.
What do you look for in a friend?
Intelligence, competency, aptitude, interest, diversity, stubbornness, trust, honesty, maturity, comfort.
My closest friends are all people who are very accepting, very funny, and pretty layback. They're not going to talk behind each others back, behind my back, or do anything to just purposely hurt someone else. I look for stability and that special mix of odd traits and quirks that makes someone who they are and interesting to be around.
What are your hobbies?
Reading, drawing, music listening, learning, researching topics of interest, joking around, hanging out, movies~ I love retro weird stuff and sardonic humor and black comedy and just being enjoying life.
Have or would you give time and money to a charity?
I have. But less for the benefit of the charity than for myself. I'm too thoughtless and inconsiderate to do much for others on my own. I like to help others...but only at my convenience.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish?
To be satisfied with my life, happy with my circumstances. I'm at the cusp of choosing a college and furthering my education. I'm gonna get my degree. I'm gonna have a career. I'm gonna have money to support myself in whatever I want (traveling, staying still, supporting my anime addiction, experiencing culture, sporting). And hopefully find someone of similar perspective to share it all with.
Who is your role model?
Kazusa Takashima...er...My strong female teachers who know what they're doing, what they want, and don't take any shit. People with direction and intellect and success and inspiration are my role models.
What trait most annoys you about other people?
Complete and encompassing ignorance or disregard of other's property, rights, and/or opinions.
I'm really possessive about things. That's not to say I'm not generous. If someone asks, and unless I need it (whatever this hypothetical object may be), I'll eagerly share. But people don't ask, who assume permission, agrivate, annoy, and vex me beyond any other action. There's bigotry and lots of ignorance in the world and that's a cultural pity, but nothing angers me more than purposely violating another.
What do you want to do for a living?
Somethin' medical researchy. Pharmaceuticals maybe. I'm pretty open. I could go into computer programming; I could head into law; I could go to medical school (though I'm extremely afraid of the ill); Or maybe I'd end up a graphic designer. I don't know. So long as I enjoy it, and it supports me in the life style I want, I'm good.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do?
It really depends. On the damage inflicted on my friend, on my status and capabilities, on our surroundings and resources. If I couldn't provide the necessary aid myself at that instant, I'd escape and look for help. If there was something I could do that would help us both, I'd do it. If there's something I could do but most likely get hurt doing...I really don't know. I can't honestly answer. It depends on so many factors and variables.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason?
Yes. Intent is what should define misuse, not the tool itself.

What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? (This question is optional for those who feel they just DO NOT fit in a house. Please explain WHY.)
Where did you find out about us? Oddly enough, coaltrain_613 posted a reply to one of my artsy/spamagy entries with an acceptance letter of sorts to...this I suppose. I got the e-mail, what is now probably weeks later, and decided to check it out :D
Now with some requested revision and expansion :D
