Soul Society... sounds like a rock band.
Name/Nickname: Carrie
Age: 14
Likes: Art - making, appreciating, bungling, posting it online. Sleep in large quantities. Ice cream. Making an idiot out of myself for the amusement of my friends. Helping people with their current drama/personal crisises. Music and attempting to sing it. Adorable animals. Writing crap in journals. Going to bookstores. Grocery shopping. Fuzzy socks. Purses I never use.
Dislikes: People who continuously fail to see the big picture - letting one small problem or crap-up ruin their entire day or put them in a bad mood. People who can't take a joke or laugh at themselves. People who scream at the TV when football is on as though the players can actually hear them. Waking up. Monotony. Feeling unable to help (even if I'm visiting someone in the hospital and hear over the intercom that there's a level 2 trauma coming in, I'll feel somewhat bad for not being able to do anything.)
Strong points: I'm loyal and generally patient and tolerant. I'm responsible and volunteer to help with just about anything someone even sort of asks me to do. I try to see the good in people and make an effort not to be judgemental. I'm very forgiving, and I'm generally ahead of my peers when it comes to things like spelling and grammar. (In classes, people ask me how to spell certain words when they don't know.) I'm also creative. (I want to make a mosaic out of milk bottle caps.)
Weaker points: ....Again, I'm patient, tolerant, forgiving, and try to see the good in people. Sometimes to the point of being someone's doormat and never standing up for myself. I'm incredibly shy. I have little to no self-confidence and as such it takes me a long time to make friends. I can't do math to save my life. I space out easily. I worry about every little thing, and I'm a complete hypochondriac - I end up wiki-ing obscure medical conditions in fascination and immeadiately begin wondering if I suffer from it.
Hobbies &/or Talents: I can't dance, I can't talk, the only thing about me is the way I walk....! Kidding. My friend got it in my head. Aaanyway, like I said - I draw constantly and after a few years I'm actually pretty good at it. I've doodled on my papers in classes and ended up having them passed around for everyone to gawk at before. I have the rare ability to sense when a car door is going to give me a static shock. I never sing in front of other people (because I have no self-confidence) but a grand total of two people who have heard me say I sing well. I don't believe them at all. Also, I can knit (but only afghan squares) and have a good decorating sense (in the past, I wanted a career in interior design.)
Favorite color: Light blue and dark brown. Best color combination ever. I also like them on their own, but I can't wear dark brown much - it matches my hair and I end up looking like a chocolate bar.
Favorite animal: Well... Monkeys, I guess. There's sort of a long story behind it.
Favorite season: Winter - it has pretty snow, hot chocolate, christmas, my birthday (december 31st!), pretty lights, and the smell of pine trees. What more can you ask for? Plus, you can see your breath, and how cool is that?
Mature or Immature: It depends entirely on the situation. I'm mature when I need to be, such as when handling difficult situations or lending counsel to others, but when I'm having fun with friends, I act like a complete child. For what it's worth, people who only know me online often assume I'm in my twenties.
Leader or Follower: Follower. Definitely. I don't have the skill or confidence to lead others - at most I'll try to nudge people in the right direction.
Outgoing or Shy: Shy, to the point that I find greeters at grocery stores incredibly awkward just because I'll have to greet them in return.
Confident or Modest: Modest. I'm pretty sure that's an understatement.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: It varies way too much, so I'll pick the middle of the road and say "realist".
Low, medium, or high energy level: Low/medium, but of course I'm hyper sometimes. I've already established my love of sleep, yes?
Goals in life: Pretty much the usual - go to college, get a job as a nurse, get married, have three kids, etc. I'd also like to eventually have my art recognized in SOME form, and of course I have a dozen other cockamamie dreams that I don't tell anyone about simply due to their implausibility. There are tons of things I'd love to do, but since I've only got so much time to live, I've prioritized to what's contained in the first sentence of this section.
Favorite quote & why: "The difference between what we do and what we could do would suffice to solve most of the world's problems" ~ Gandhi. Because it's 100% true and I'm a lame bleeding heart like that.
Describe your personality in three words or more: I think a lot more than probably anyone realizes - I have a tendency to be lonely and I can't stand to show my true weaknesses to people (though I sometimes do anyway). I always want to help people but I generally have no idea how or I'm afraid of doing more harm than good (I once stalked an old man with crutches through a grocery store for several minutes trying to work up the nerve to ask if he needed any help getting things - he didn't, and I felt like an idiot.) I suppose in brief I would describe myself as "a shy, compassionate dreamer". (how lame!)
Favorite character & why: There are a ton of characters I really like. Hanatarou is absolutely 100% adorable. Unohana-taichou is my HERO. Rukia is pretty awesome, too.
Least favorite character & why: Mayuri. He simply has no redeeming qualities. He's just a horrible, horrible man. XD;;;
Anything else: I think I already know who I'm going to be stamped as. XD;;
