Are you open to cross-gender votes? Indeed. Personality matters more than form.
1. Please list three positive traits you possess and why you chose them.
Bravery: Courage is the testing point of all qualities. To be true to yourself when others encourage or demand you not to be required courage. Without it it is very hard to be yourself so courage is imperative.
Determination: When stuff gets bad I keep going. When I'm tired and in pain I keep going until the job is done. This has been especially valuable to me as my health is not the best.
Independence: I have always played devils advocate, the one to question the ideas on offer. I like being able to do this. Someone has to and every group needs someone who is willing to question. It's not a role I took consciously, it's just something I found myself doing from an early age but I like the fact this is my place.
2. Please list three negative traits you possess and why you chose them.
Impulsive: This is a problem because it causes me to miss out on things I would otherwise have been able to do if I had NOT just spent all my money on that/committed to this thing and not that thing I would rather be doing etc. It does cause me a fair amount of trouble.
Detached: I have trouble connecting with most people. I just don't know where to start. My social skills are, generally, pretty lame. It's really something I don't like about myself as I tend to be off to the side of things a lot.
Dogmatic: When I get on to a point, especially in an argument, I won't let go. It can lead to some very heated arguments, of course. I can admit I am wrong but I demand some sort of proof and my pride is easily stung.
3. If you could do something illegal without any consequences whatsoever, would you do it and why or why not?
Well, there was a time when homosexuality was illegal. In some places is it illegal for a woman to read. Just because something is against the law doesn't mean it's wrong. In fact, some laws are inherently wrong.
I would break a law if I felt the act was not wrong. I would wilfully break a law if I felt the law was morally wrong.
4. If you were faced with a situation where you only had time to make a choice that allowed you to use your intelligence or strength to prevail, which would you choose and why?
Intelligence. I am small and not especially strong and, while force can be useful, there are often better ways. Use your smarts and you may get even more than you came for.
5. What do you value above all else and why?
My friends and my family because they are hard won and dear and if I had no one to share this life with, to laugh with, it would mean almost nothing at all.
6. Would you consider yourself to be more of a leader or a follower and why?
Neither. I am a questioner. As a child I always desired to be the second-in-command. The one who had the leaders ear because I knew I was better at reacting to what he did than leading myself but I also knew I could not just follow blindly so I desired sufficient rank to avoid that necessity.
7. If you could choose to possess one trait or physical aspect, what would you pick and why?
Telekinesis. It's spectacular. Imagine being able to stop a car speeding towards you? How dramatic is that?
Unless you don't mean super powers and then it's agility, to dodge and twist like a mongoose.
8. Anything else you would like to add?
No. Just thank you for your consideration.
9. Please include at least one picture or a description of yourself.
