Name/Nickname: Laura / Elle / Hey You / Get off me / Girl
Age: 18 (almost to 19 though)
Likes: Wind, the color red, bleach, dogs, books, fonts, design. Especially design. I really like good designs, like the Starbucks ad campaign (ignoring the ugly graphic extravaganza they had last summer... ew), or other well designed ads. Design books are my porn.
Dislikes: Freezing rain, artificial light, too much white, being sick, bad design. ICKY ICKY EVIL BAD DESIGN. I loathe it when people try to market things that look like they were put together in Microsoft Word. Because they most likely were. So gross. I will literally not buy a product because the design is ugly. Icky icky ick. I also hate it when companies try to market to younger demographics by using 'text speak'. It's annoying, grammatic genocide, and most importantly DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOOK COOL. So just stop with the 'U's and the 'TTYL's and the 'OMG's, if you don't know that they stand for, ok? Ok.
Strong points: I am opinionated, stand up for myself, and refuse to be walked all over. If I need people to do something, I'm very upfront about it and usually get exactly what I need. I am funny, have a good sense of humor (or so I think, ha ha), can manipulate photoshop into doing my will, and I know how to cook.
Weaker points: I tend to alienate people because I judge them too easily. I am unforgiving and seldom give second chances. If someone violates my trust, I take it WAY too personally. I am often indecisive when it comes to major decisions, which annoys me (but I still can't help it). People say that I'm way too violent, but what they're failing to understand that violence is my way of getting out of insecure situations or questions.
Hobbies &/or Talents: I am an icon-making whore. I can look at a font and identify what it is without any reference (if I've seen the font before), I can bake anything you ask, I can cook for groups of up to 40 people. I play the piano and the violin (not masterfully, but well enough to listen to), and I am quite capable of beating people up.
Favorite color: Red. Darker reds.
Favorite animal: Birds of prey, falcons especially. Also, cats.
Favorite season: Winter.
Mature or Immature: Mature, but only when I need to be. Immaturity is so much more fun.
Leader or Follower: Leader. I get annoyed when I'm forced to follow and people do a shoddy job (I usually end up taking over or going off on my own)
Outgoing or Shy: Outgoing
Confident or Modest: Modest. I hate talking about myself, be it regarding positive or negative aspects.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: None of the above. I'm a Cynic. It suits me just fine, thanks.
Low, medium, or high energy level: High energy level. If I don't have something to do, I take over other people's projects. I MUST HAVE THINGS TO DO. This, I think, is one of the reasons I love iconing so much. They're little projects that I can tackle, one at a time >D
Goals in life: To complete my schooling, get a nice job, find a family, yada yada yada. But before all of this I'd like to travel the world a bit more. There is so much to see and learn.
Favorite quote & why: "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper." ~ T.S. Eliot. This, to me, is one of the best lines ever penned. I love it because it's so true. Worlds (not THE WORLD, but smaller worlds, like the world of innocence, of romance, of expectations) are always ending without notice, whimpering until they die. I get so excited whenever I read this poem ('The Hollow Men') because I want to discuss it to death. I love this quote.
Describe your personality in three words or more: Gregarious, headstrong, preachy, but yours forever if you earn me. XD
Favorite character & why: Rukia Kuchiki. I can not get enough of her. She's not BLAND, as some claim. She has such grace and poise. Yes, she is flawed, but she still manages to go on. She is beautiful, skilled (not at drawing, but we can't all be perfect, ha ha), funny, understanding... I could go on forever. One of the main reasons I read Bleach is because of her. I am serious.
Least favorite character & why: Momo. I simply do not get why people love her so much. I find her to be whiny, used, and... weak. I get that she was brainwashed and used, but there's only so much of that I can take. I'm sorry, but she's just too... ugh.
Anything else: Thank you for taking the time to read this! I'm excited to know the results =D
