This isn't no Disney movie! dfkajlskdjf grammar /cries
Name: Heather
Since we respect the LJ code, are you over 13?: Oh christ; in exactly one month I'll be an entire 10 years older than that.
Zodiac Sign: Aries
Does Your Sign Suit Your Personality?: To be honest, I feel like I'm much more of a water sign. I can get REALLY angry, but I'm just not a huge bossy person or anything.
Describe Your Personality In Six Adjectives: Determined, Protective, Imaginative/daydreamy, Prideful, Impatient, Sensitive
Your Hobbies: Drawing, Internetting, Role playing, hanging out with friends, reading
Your Strengths: Working in the last minute/under pressure, relating to people, having a "feel" for the arts, organizing (when the mood hits me right)
Your Weaknesses: Temper tantrums (I can direct my anger away from people at least, but I can't keep my explosive anger in), keeping in contact with other people (I tend to just straight up forget unless they're right in front of me), STAYING organized (I tend to procrastinate and if I have a LOT to do, I get kind of lazy and halfass things sometimes), resisting delicious chocolate
What do most people like about you? My sense of humor? I'm good in a group setting at making people laugh. I have a pretty quick rate when it comes to popping off jokes, so if I'm together with a clever friend, we can bounce things off of each other and have the entire table in tears from laughing so hard.
I'm also dependable. If you ask me to do something, or if I say I will do something for you, I'll do it. It's actually one of my huge pet-peeves when people flake off or go against their word, so to combat this, I always try my best to do everything I can for my friends and people depending on me.
What are your goals in life? To do something with my creativity (preferably be part of a team that helps create the concept for a great story, whether it be in movie, animated series form, or what-have-you… I enjoy drawing, but I like dreaming things up too), and also to find someone to share my life with (something platonic is fine; I just want to be with someone whom I love and trust).
Favorite quote/lyric/saying & why: "Whether you think you can or can't, you're right!" -Henry Ford. I just feel like your life is what you make of it, and if you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will either. On the flipside, if you DO believe in yourself, you can make so much more happen than you would have ever even imagined. Confidence is everything.
What do you feel is your best quality? My determination. I just have it ingrained into me not to fail. I work as hard as possible to achieve the things I want. Of course I enjoy to play and to procrastinate, but I have this passion, and this bull-headedness that helps me put my nose to the grindstone when the time is right.
What color would you say you are and why? Even though hot pink is my favorite color, I'd say I'm probably more of a shade of blue-- like the water, like the sky… just, idk, dreamy places. Also, water can have a fierce, dangerous side, so… I'm like that person that seems nice and quiet, but I can be friendly and nurturing, but also your worst nightmare if you piss me off.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? I think if everyone could acknowledge their own mental shortcomings and work on making themselves better and overcoming them, we'd end a LOT of problems we have in the world.
Favourites
Food: Mongolian Beef over rice
Book: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Animal: Any kind of cat, dachshunds, and otters
Movies: Back to the Future, most of Tim Burton's movies (Big Fish especially), Pixar films… basically anything that can appeal emotionally to me or make me cry
Music: Oldies, 80's, Symphony, Classic Rock, New Age. Those are my favorite genres, but to be honest I can find something I like in every genre. I'm pretty eclectic. It's not about the genre, artist, or group; it's about the feel.
This or That
Implusive or cautious: Cautious in huge decisions (I'm an INFP; we tend to go back and forth FOREVER trying to put the puzzle together and collect pieces we may have missed), rather impulsive in small ones (like eating delicious-but-bad-for-you food, or buying something nifty while out window shopping)
Leader or Follower: Leader when I'm confident that I can do a good job at it, otherwise I'm fine with being delegated tasks that play to my strengths. I refuse to accept the term follower, because even if it seems like I'm staying in line and following others, I'm always thinking and deliberating. Follower has this negative connotation of being blind and stupid. :/
Optimistic or pessimistic: Pretty optimistic, actually, though some people who know me at my worst may find this hard to believe. In negative situations, I tend to throw out a lot of sarcasm-- it's something I learned from my dad. Some people find it annoying, but the dry humor helps me cope with otherwise unfavorable conditions. But I've always had a way of continuing to look forward even in the worst times. I guess it's just me being big-picture oriented by nature, but if something goes wrong, I can usually work around it or find a way to adapt and fix it. I'm very nose-to-the-grindstone about fixing kinks in the gears. I don't like small, unpredictable things making me look bad.
Selfish or selfless: I'm naturally inwardly focused, so I tend to feel pretty selfish from time-to-time, but if the mood strikes me right, I am happy to give time and effort to someone that deserves it.
High or low self esteem: High in skills and my sense-of-self, low in physical looks and social skills (I'm so fucking awkward in 1 on 1 situations with new/uncomfortable people; my brain can't handle them because it wants to wander and not give someone its full attention. I'm so much more fond of meeting people in groups; people I've met this way were actually shocked to learn that I AM introverted, which weirded me out haha, I always think it's painfully obvious).
Warm hearted or cold hearted: Warm-hearted. I'm just too emotional and empathetic to turn the other cheek to someone who really needs help. … unless there is some emotional manipulation going on. Then I get out as fast as I can, ugh.
Introverted or extroverted: Iiiiintroverted to a fault. I need lots of alone/down time. But I also need plenty of time with close friends, too. It's actually pretty hard-- at least when you're extroverted, you always know that people stimulate you. Sometimes, I need some alone time, but other times, I have a hard time recognizing cues that I need to get out and be among friends, or more likely than not, I recognize them but just lack the means to act on them (everyone is busy, I'm not close with many people, etc etc). LONELY. ): My favorite place to be is in a small circle of friends that know me well and love me… and won't judge me. A good friend to me is someone that will relish the silence between us instead of always trying to fill it awkwardly with words. Let me sit and think for a bit; silence is awesome.
And even more this/that...
Love or Passion: Love. Any kind of love-- friendship, between partners, between a parent and child… Love and support are what get me through life. I need the people around me to be there for me, as I am for them.
Loyalty or Honour: Honor, most likely. Loyalty is EXTREMELY important, but I hold my values dear, and as I've grown up, I have learned that staying true to myself is far more important and mentally healthy than simply assimilating for the sake of others' admiration. I'd rather be disliked for who I am than liked for who I'm not, as that old saying goes.
Rule or Be Ruled: I don't typically think in these terms. I'm so much more of an individual than to consider myself as 'being ruled,' but I'd rather not have the leader's position either, unless it's something I KNOW I'd be best at (in which case I tend to shine; I'm a damn good leader in the right positions, if I do say so myself). I'd rather be in a situation where I'm in a group of intelligent people, and we're all weighing in when making decisions.
Giver or Taker: Given that I am happier to see the reaction of a friend when giving them the perfect gift than I am to receive something I've been wanting, I guess I'll go with giver.
Low, medium, or high energy level: Pretty low. I'm pretty laid back and low-key.
Animation
Favorite animated movie (can be Disney)? That is a HARD. FREAKING. DECISION, but if I had to be honest, I'd say the Brave Little Toaster… I just adore the idea of inanimate objects coming to life, I love the songs, and there's some huge nostalgia factor things going on, lol.
Least Favorite overall animated movie character (can be Disney)? Maybe Tinkerbell, if only because she's become overly sexualized and the symbol for bratty, bossy little 13-year-old girls, meh.
Favorite animated villain? Frollo! I have a thing for religious bad-guys. I adored that he was so human.
Anything else? Thanks for voting. :D
