General
Name: Heather Lynn
Age: 20
Favorite food: Mongolian Beef over steamed white rice. <3 I've also become obsessed with avocados lately. :O Mmm guacamole... Dude, I'm also a huge fan of taco salad with fajita meat squares sprinkled overtop, with queso dressing. ... wow, okay, I'm making myself hungry AND you only wanted one example. Shutting up now.
Least favorite food: I really hate thick, cooked, unseasoned juicy meat (on the bone if you REALLY wanna gross me out). My family loves it that way, but I'm always like "gag." Despite my favorite foods, I usually tend to enjoy things with less meat in them.
Likes: drawing, music (my life is in dire need of a soundtrack), reading, animation, Pixar, livejournal, stamping communities, Harry Potter (Ravenclaw ftw), Pokemon, Ouran High School Host Club, Death Note, shounen-ai, (some) shoujo-ai, Gravitation, FAKE, cats (big and small), the beach, the city at night, New York City, Disneyworld/land, being with my best friend, bike-riding, being introspective, late-night trips to Starbucks, Sanrio, collecting toys/merchandise of my fandoms, American Idol, John Mayer, Tim Burton and his movies, role playing, waking up early on days I have off, staying up into the early morning hours (I make no sense, I know), inspiration, complements
Dislikes: being corrected, rainy days, people who think I have to think exactly like them or else I'm wrong, people who have no sense of humor/couldn't spot a joke if it danced naked in front of them, waking up and having to go somewhere that I don't necessarily want to be, losing things/possessions, reality, bigots, homophobes, people obsessed with their organized religion to the point of becoming "us" and "them" about the world, crazy Twilight fans, losing in competitions, when people live up to their stereotypes, sheeple, labels, being stagnant
Five adjectives to describe your personality: eclectic, passionate, young, open, creative
Life goals: to become a successful animator and find someone awesome to live/share my life with
Favorite Azumanga character and why: I love Sakaki. She and Kasanoda from Ouran High School Host Club would be the perfect pair, haha (oh crap, I'm crossover shipping, what is wrong with me?). I love how she's quiet and intimidating, but has this thing for cute animals. Honestly, she kind of reminds me of myself. Not that I'm quiet and intimidating, but I'm usually mild mannered anyway... but I have this huuuge thing for cats. It's so tragic that they all try to bite her, haha. I want my own Mayaa. D: Seriously, when I was through reading the manga, I was like "EBAY. MAYAA PLUSHIE. NOW." LOL I was sad when I couldn't find one.
I also like Chiyo because she's cute. <3 And because her friends' crazy random dreams about her are freaking hilarious. XD
Least favorite and why: Probably Mr. Kimura. His bits are supposed to be funny, yes, but even so, I'm usually just like "Eh heh... yeahhh..." *shudders* LOL if I were a student (and he were a teacher in America- obviously I understand Japanese laws are different, lol) I'd be like "LOL YEAH GETTIN U FIRED NAO PEDO."
Specific
Do you have any pets? Mmhmm. We have three dogs, but I only consider one of them "mine." She's a dachshund. <3 I wish we had a cat, though. ): I used to, but he passed on my 17th birthday. D:
Are you shy or outgoing? I'm introverted. I think there's a difference between that and shy. Shy denotes fear of people; I'm not afraid of people, I'm just... not interested, usually. You'd have to initiate a conversation with me, usually, unless you were a really good friend of mine.
Would you consider yourself tolerant of others? Super tolerant, usually. On sight, I see everyone as exactly the same- I'm real big on equality. I usually wait for personalities to prove themselves to me, and even then, I give everyone multiple chances. (: Even people who prove themselves to be 'stupid' I usually just ignore on the principle of "they're just not worth my time or effort arguing with." I always say that if I'm willing to argue with you to your face, you should consider yourself honored because I see us as equals, haha.
Do you participate in extra-curriculars or are you part of the Go Home Club? I'm all about extra-curricular activities. In highschool, I don't think I'd have lasted without band and art. The only academic course I'm even remotely interested in is English, SOMETIMES, because there is writing involved. I'm real big on creativity, you see- I hate doing things that don't involve it. :/
What type of people do you hang around with? People who are undramatic, tolerant, passionate, driven, and have a sense of humor, usually. I couldn't give you a 'label,' per se, because I don't adhere to any myself. People have actually told me that I am UNLABELABLE, which is actually a really cool thing to be, haha. The closest I can come for this question is to say that in high school, most all of my friends were in the band with me. So we were 'band geeks,' yaaay. Heh. XD
You can be too tall to be cute. True or false and why? I think 'cuteness' is typically thought of to be tiny/petite... but cute is a word like beautiful- ie, it will always be in the eye of the beholder. So I'd have to say no, this isn't true if you're applying it generally to the population.
What are you afraid of? The death of my loved ones.
Are you a slacker or do you study/do homework? I'm one of those naturally smart people that got lucky and never had to study much in high school, haha. I typically only study if I'm completely clueless about something. But even then, I'm hot stuff at looking for keywords and skimming just the right paragraphs. THERE'S a gift I'm glad for, haha.
What is your cure for hiccups? I just inhale and hold my breath. Flexing my diaphragm like that usually causes it to quit within one or two hiccups. Take that, epiglottis!
Favorite school subject? I mentioned this earlier- art and band. :D Creativity ftw.
A shark is a type of fish. A dolphin is a mammal. Well then... is a snail a bug? A snail is a mollusk, bb~.
Most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you: You know, I have no idea. I tend to block those things out- it's a natural reaction to protecting my sanity, haha.
Chiyo-dad. Real or imaginary? SO REAL IT'S AMAZING.
Finally...
Fill in the blank: "Three years went by so fast. Chiyo-chan has gotten taller. Sakaki-chan's breasts have gotten bigger. I became ______." Heavier probably. OH SIGH~. But if we're focusing on positives, hopefully... more skilled in drawing...? :D
