Ridiculously Romantic
Name: Lausanne.
We respect the LJ code. Are you over 13?: By a longshot. 19 years old and counting.
Five positive adjectives to describe yourself: Open-minded, ambitious, confident, friendly, crazy (yes - this a positive).
Five negative adjectives to describe yourself: Jealous, lazy, emotional, over-whelming, arrogant.
Your hobbies/interests: The big one is musical theatre (if I could sing and act for the rest of my life, I'd be so there), but writing and sleeping are also very good candidates.
Your strengths: If I really want something, I am going to work my hardest to get it.
Your weaknesses: Definitely my jealousy, which, whether I like it or not, will make me see a person differently. I also procrastinate. A lot.
What do people like most about you?: I think people like my drive and my passion the most.
Goals/aims for the future: To finish university with my German degree and hopefully start persuing a real acting career.
Favourite quote/lyrics/phrase and why?: "Give into love or live in fear."
I firmly believe that if it wasn't for the musical Rent (which I've loved solidly for more than 7 years now), I'd be a completely different person. It opened my mind to things I'd been ignorant of before, made me be as understanding and open-minded as I am today, and I think it's a strong lesson to live by. Give into love or live in fear has stuck with me since the very first time I heard it - giving into love makes you realize the person you are and always have been, but you've never seen before. In fact, in a few months I'm getting the phrased permanently tattooed on me, so it's with me forever.
Favourites
Animal: Kitties!
Book: The Count of Monte Cristo, followed very closely by Good Omens.
Food: Lately it's been spaghetti.
Movies: Inglorious Basterds and The Road to El Dorado.
Music: Broadway, Rammstein, Lady GaGa. Those are the biggies.
This or That
Leader or Follower: That depends on the situation. In theatre, or doing something I love, I always take the leader role. If it's pointless to me, I'm fine following.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Optimistic.
Mature or Immature: Mature in the majority of situations, but everyone's gotta be a little immature now and then.
Pleasure or Sacrifice: Pleasure.
Confident or Shy: Confident.
Selfless or Selfish: Selfish.
Introverted or Extroverted: Extroverted.
Rule or Be Ruled: Rule.
Queer as Folk
Favourite character and why?: Michael, all the way. He's incredibly sweet, adorable, completely genuine and the perfect friend. I was attached to him instantly when I started watching the show, and I find that I am always looking at it from his perspective. I find everything about him incredibly endearing, especially his awkwardness and his pouting. Also, comic book love for the win. :)
Least favourite character and why?: Justin. I cannot stand Justin. I don't think there are any words to describe how much he annoys me - if I'm watching the show, I'll often tune out during his parts or skip over them. He reminds me of all the people I went to school with and couldn't ever stand, the ones I was happy to be rid of when I graduated, haha.
Anything else you'd like to add?:
In addition to the tattoo I'll be getting soon, there's one I already have. It's the masks of comedy and tragedy, done in a graphic novel style, looking a little Joker-esque with the words "hahaha" and "boohoo" around it (actually, the next tattoo is going to have a Batman villain spin on it, too.) I had an eyebrow piercing but, sadly, had to take it out because it was getting infected, so that's going to get replaced at some point, too.
