The Basics
Name: Shanin
Age: 20
You
1. Describe your personality:
It really depends on who I’m around. With friends and close family (read: mother), I’m more likely to be loud and out there. But around certain family and other people, I’m more quiet and withdrawn.
Dealing with online people though, I’m much like I am with friends and my mother: out there and just crazy.
2. What are your flaws?
I’d have to say my short fuse is my major flaw. If there’s something I don’t like or don’t want to talk about/see, I will explode in a manner of speaking. I also say things in the nicest way ever with the harshest tone or come off completely sarcastic.
I’m also too kind at times when someone has done something to hurt me in the past and tend to forgive them too easily. And due to that, I have a hard time trusting others, even if they are extremely close to me.
3. What are your best points?
I listen and try to help out others the best I can when they come to me with a problem or question they may have. I’m also quite protective of those that I consider close in such a way that if you hurt them, you will deal with me.
I’m pretty thoughtful and creative due to the thoughtfulness, usually coming up with things whether or not they make sense to another person.
But it's probably better to ask others what they think my best points are, as I tend to say that I have none.
4. Likes:
Sleeping and being lazy are my main likes but others include drawing, reading (both manga and regular non-comic books), chatting with friends, meeting new people with similar interests, coming up with fandom crack/craziness.
Though I am open to anything that catches my interests so there’s a million more likes really.
5. Dislikes:
Annoying people (in the sense of being annoying to annoy people and not in the sense of humour/making others laugh), kids under 5, parents who can’t control their kids, people in general (depending on the person/group of people though), fighting (I’m a pacifist really despite my short fuse).
Again like likes, there's a million that would take all day.
6. What are your hobbies and talents?
I draw mainly but honestly I think that’s about as far as hobbies and talents go. Others who know me though might disagree but, that’s others.
7. How do others perceive you?
I’d say probably a lone wolf, withdrawn, quiet though at times crazy and out there. Caring, helping, forgiving.
Favourites
8. What is your personal motto?
“Tomorrow is another day.”
...sure it’s from Gone with the Wind but it’s honestly how I live and have lived my life so it’s become my own motto.
9. What is your favorite color? Why?
I actually have three.
Black due to it being a lack of “color” and it also represents things such as death and grief, something that’s actually part of me in a way (I’ve had three deaths in one year and one a few years after, and with death comes grief).
Red due to it representing magnanimity, which means “...encounters danger and trouble with tranquility and firmness...” among other things. Even if my fuse is short, I try to keep from fighting/arguing too much. And it’s kinda pretty, more so when it gets darker.
Silver is really just one of those colors I just like, however it means calm, maturity, modesty, and sadly boring. But it’s really just a color I like.
10. What color do you think you are? (it can be the favourite color or another color)
Honestly, I have to go with a favorite and that’s silver because of it meaning calm, modesty, maturity, boring and other things that I feel describe me best.
11. Favourite Animal?
Felines mainly.
12. What is your favorite season?
Spring. This could be a bias though since I was born during spring.
13. This Thing, That Thing
Optimistic or Pessimistic or Realist: I’m an optimistic pessimist.
Possessions or Ideals: Ideals.
Mature or Immature: A little of both, though I find myself more immature than mature.
Leader or Follower: Depends, but mostly follower.
Light or Dark: Dark.
Think Before You Leap? or Leap!: A bit of both and depending on the situation. If it’s a horrible one, I will think but otherwise I’d say I leap.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted.
War or Peace: Peace.
Secretive or Open: Secretive.
High, Medium, Low Energy? Medium to high, but more so medium.
14. Reactions
How do you react when with your friends? Close friends get the more crazy, talkative me. Not so close, I’m more quiet and reserved.
How about your family? Around my mother, I’m more like how I am with close friends, but the rest of the family, I’m more quiet and annoyed than anything.
In a group? Quiet like you won’t believe. I’m not that good around a lot of people.
If your peers/friends/family were in trouble, what would you do? Try my best to help them, even if they aren’t close to me.
How do you react to Stressful things? Depending on how stressful I’ll either be fine and rant/do something that kills the stress or breakdown (though the latter is really rare).
Other
15. What are your dreams?
To be an artist.
16. What are your fears?
Losing my mother is my biggest fear. I’ve had countless dreams where she’s gone or dies, so it’s definitely made me fear losing her.
Other than that, just regular normal fears: bugs, clowns, the paranormal (even if I’m interested in it due to the fear).
17. Would you do something you wouldn’t normally do if you had to?
If it’s a life or death situation, maybe.
Additionally if it involves close friends or someone close to me, yes.
Otherwise no.
18. If you had to choose a side, would you choose the government, rebels or just being a loner?
Loner. I don’t really care about what goes on with the government to be honest.
19. Anything else about you?
Not that I can think of really.
Optional
20. Anything else you would like to add?
This is actually my first time really participating in one of these (I’ve been in a couple of other rating comms, but this is my first one I actually voted on stuff/posted my own app so xD) so I apologize for any "wtf-ery" in this.
And if I forgot something, please to be pointing it out to me. @_@
Almost there!
