Stamped; Soundtrack Theme
Here goes…
Basics
Name: *Mickey Mouse Club* M-O-N-I-C-A~...um...that's all
Nickname: Eh, let's just go with Momo, at least I can avoid Japanese connotations by mentioning that I only got the nickname because a friend of my sister's only remembered that my name was 'Mo-something'
Age: My birthday was about a week ago, so I'm eighteen :D!
Gender: Female
Personality
Describe yourself (how you perceive yourself -- can be as short or as long as you want! ;)): My old phrase used to be nosce te ipsum (know thyself), but it took a while to realize that I don't know myself. I just know that despite being completely honest about everything (including how dumb some people can be) I'm afraid of making others angry. I mean, if they're a non-threatening sort, like say someone younger than me (not saying all of them are non-threatening), I wouldn't be afraid of making them mad...although I would be a little displeased with myself I'm naturally a critic.
I know that I'm very, very obsessive and that scares the hell out of me. Sometimes I’m patient, diligent, determined (read: Very, very stubborn), other times I’m extremely short tempered and not wanting to deal with the utter nonsense that’s being put before me. Is there anything positive about me? Well, I don't really like to think of positive things seeing as I think it's a waste and there's nothing good about me.
I suppose I'll have to admit, though, as I said before nine times out of ten I can make people laugh. I suppose my I.Q.'s a little above average, too. Otherwise, though, I'm a pretty dull oddball, seeking out the mundane and familiar so I don't get excessively nervous and ramble about useless things...like I'm doing now.
Did I mention also that I ramble when I'm nervous or excited? Lordie Lord, it's embarrassing. Oh, and I seem to really vary on how social I am (although it's mostly not social at all) and I like poking people...although sometimes I feel it's harmless and other times I feel what the hell? That was stupid and rude, why did you do that? I am also a foul-mouthed little puss.
You've heard people say you are: Mean, sad (good Lord, people don't know a neutral face when they see one, do they?), interesting, funny, I've even heard 'brave' a couple of times...can't imagine why, though *shrugs* my heart races when I see things like spiders at least five feet away from me, one amusing one was the exclamation of 'you remember your parents getting divorced when you were FIVE?!' so apparently that was an admission that I have a good long-term memory as well >3
Overall, would you say your life is:
Peaceful/Full of conflict? That varies, as with other things, a lot of the time it's peaceful, otherwise it's conflicting. Whether I'm fighting with my mother over something or dealing with people who just don't get it
Filled with other people/Full of Solitude? Solitude, I mostly just stay away and read or draw or something. I find that I butt into conversations a whole lot more, though (which, in itself, is extremely rude and I usually don't have anything interesting to add, anyway)
In general, would you say you are (expound if you can, please)...
Loud/Quiet? Quiet...even when I'm doing my psychobabble, it's usually in an even tone. Sometimes it will have a tendency to carry, but that would be only if...well, I don't know
Faithful/Skeptical? Depends, if it's something like my religion, of course I'll be faithful (although sometimes in the back of my mind I find myself questioning it...which is kinda scary), I--um--sometimes have faith in my family, I obviously have enough faith to believe in all sorts of things like Karma and aliens, but obviously not enough to believe in people I don't even know. I'm always skeptical about strangers
Realist/idealist? Curiously enough, I'm mostly realistic about things; I'm even realistic about believing in inherently idealistic things like aliens ("oh, come on now, a universe as big as ours and we're all alone? Spare me." Yes, that does sound snooty, don't it?)
Shy/outgoing? Shyyyyy, unbearably so, I embarrass myself with how much I have to do just to get me to walk into an unfamiliar place and do something mundane like order curly fries
An extrovert/an introvert? Introverted, although it would appear that my supposed personality assigned to me by my zodiac sign (Leo) bursts through sometimes
An optimist/pessimist? Certainly pessimistic, I usually feel if I’m optimistic about something it will end up disappointing me severely as it has in the past
Music-Related
Favorite song/s: I don't really choose favorites, although I will be an utter geek and say that I like this track from a video game (Final Fantasy VII), it's called 'Cosmo Canyon' and be it the piano version or the game version, it always puts me in the mind of that time when I was at camp, I looked up and saw the entire expanse of the universe, the Milky Way, shooting stars, even a few planets. It was all very mystical and pleasant, as such I want to learn to play the piano version one day
Hm, I just waxed poetic about a video game track…o_o shoot me now, please
Favorite artist/s and/or composers: Once again, don't choose favorites, I don't even choose favorite bands seeing as I listen to so many different songs and there doesn't seem to be a pattern in what I listen to
Favorite lyrics: With this question, the song that immediately came to mind was a song I had never even heard of up until this year (which is weird seeing as my stepfather is an oldies-type) 'He starts to shake and cough//Just like the old man in//That book by Nabokov' 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' by Sting and The Police, it makes me laugh because Nabokov is the author of Lolita >3
What sounds (e.g. birds singing) do you find pleasing to the ear? And vice versa? I like the sound of a cat purring, and sudden, loud sounds I dislike the most (especially of you're ultra-tense, just waiting for something to happen...and then the phone rings! Or like the music that plays when Scissorman suddenly pops up *shudders*)
What genre/s or type/s of music do you prefer? Which ones do you dislike? I don't have a particular problem with any genre, except some pop (some of it is either really twee or really skanky) and metal (yes, there are many words for which type, but I just dislike the ones where it consists mostly of screeching and growling...I mean, besides being impressed that they can go on like that, I don't listen to it because I have enough problems with my ears, thanks.)
If your life had a soundtrack, what songs would be in it? Why? Hmm...that's a toughie, maybe "Dare to Be Stupid" by Weird Al, "I Need Some Sleep" by Eels, "Happy" by Liam Lynch, "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley most of all (heh-heh), "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.
"Dare to Be Stupid" is just very silly and funny and…stupid kind of like me. Such as, "Burn your candle at both ends//Look a gift horse in the mouth//Mashed potatoes can be your friends."
"I Need Some Sleep" for the chorus of "everyone says I’m gettin' down too low//everyone says 'you just gotta let it go'//you just gotta let it go//you just gotta let it go"...of course, I don't know how much of a chorus it is in a song only two minutes long, but that's not the point
"Happy" is a song sung in a tone of someone who really is not happy, even says it himself 'I can't do this man, I'm not happy' and ends it with 'I'm outta here! Screw you!'
"Crazy"...is a little obvious, isn't it? Eh, okay then, the opening line does it for me "I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind" this line also "And I hope that you are having the time of your life//But think twice, that's my only advice."
"Everybody Hurts"...well, it's just very truthful: "When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.//Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes." it's like what I'd say to someone, "If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone."
That should be sufficient.
If you were trapped in a room (feel free to enhance on this scenario) and had to listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers or maybe "Whip It" by Devo, those are two songs I could never get sick of seeing as the obviously Scottish accent of the twins amuses the hell out of me ('And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be//I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you') and "Whip It" has such a positive message ('I say whip it!//whip it good!')

Anything else? Mm, no, not really, I just hope I didn't alienate anybody with my babblings.
