July 1999
Name: Not comfortable giving out my real name.
Nickname(s): Princess
Birthday: 07-04-85
Strong Points: Intelligent, compassionate, idealistic, creative, open-minded, good listener, loyal, protective, nuturing, artistic.
Weak Points: Moody, shy around new people, procastinator, gullible and easily manipulated, oversensitive, short-tempered, prone to exaggeration, stubborn and rebellious.
Likes: Music, romance, animals, children, politics, snow days, feeling pretty, art, legal dramas, old movies.
Hobbies: Writing & reading, mostly. Some community theatre. Also drawing a little, even though I'm not very good at it. I'm not sure if just hanging out counts as a hobby, but I do it a lot.
Favorite color: Pink.
Favorite animal: Cats.
Favorite Angel Sanctuary character: I have two I don't think I can pick between. :( But it's definitely either Sara, because I really admire her gumption and devotion to Setsuna, or Kurai, just because she's so adorable and I love seeing how much she grows up over the course of the manga.
Dislikes: Being told what to do, people who are biased on the basis of things like race/nationality/religion/sexual orientation/gender/age, chewing with your mouth open, not knowing what's going on, people who say really hurtful things and try to cover it up with, "I was just joking!!", not remembering where I put things.
Least favorite animal: Snails.
Least Favorite Angel Sanctuary character: Yahweh. He manipulates people less powerful than He is for His own amusement, and I can't really find anything likable about that.
What are your views on revenge? Depends on the situation. Usually morally wrong, sometimes justifiable or even necessary, sometimes both. Sometimes a good way to keep a stupid, meaningless pissing contest going forever (the revenge starts out small and inconsequential, but then they have to get revenge on you for your revenge on them, and then you need to take revenge against them for their revenge against you for your revenge against them, and then they need to take revenge against you for your revenge against them for their revenge against you for your revenge against them, and so on, and then someone's friends get involved...).
What are your views on sacrifice? Part of life, even if it's an unhappy one. Everyone, at some point, is going to have to give something up, either because it's the right thing to do, by mistake or to get something else. It'd be nice if nobody ever had to give up or lose anything, ever, but unfortunately, life doesn't work that way. Every time you make a choice, you're sacrificing one thing for the sake of another.
What are your views on love? Ultimately a beautiful thing, even if it hurts sometimes. I think (grand)parent-child love, sibling-sibling love and friendship are all just as important as romantic love, too.
Should you sin (pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, sloth), what would you indulge in and why? Anger/wrath. Aside from the fact that the adrenline rush you get from being angry can feel good, not all anger is inherently bad. Some of the best things mankind has done have been motivated by outrage and fury at unfairness or cruelty. On the other hand, some of the worst things mankind has done have also come from outrage.
Should you choose virtues (chastity, abstinence, liberality, diligence, patience, kindness, humility) then what would you opt for and why? This is a hard decision because I think all the virtues are honorable in their own way, but I think I'd probably choose either kindness or diligence, if I had to pick one. Kindness because it's something I've already got in abudance and the world can never have enough of it, diligence because it's something I could use a lot more of and it would go a long way toward helping me achieve my goals.
What is your greatest goal in life? To help people? More specifically, I want to be a lawyer for the ACLU someday, because I believe America's civil liberties are important and deserve protecting. I also want to do charity work and spend time in the Peace Corps, because I admire people who do non-profit work for the good of others. I hope to see Paris someday, or, better yet, tour a lot of Europe's major cities.
What would you go through hell for? My convictions. I have a lot of things I believe very strongly in, and I'd go through hell to hold onto them or see the things I've dreamed of enacted.
Optional
Pictures or a description of how you look: 5'4 1/2", 110 lbs, shoulder-length brown hair. My eyes are weird -- there's a light brown ring in the middle, around the pupil, and a blue-green ring on the outside around the light brown ring. I'm supposed to wear glasses, but I usually don't. I wear a lot of girly-looking jeans and, since it's cold here right now, long-sleeved shirts.
