Three positive adjectives that describe who you are: Confident, intelligent, generous.
Three negative adjectives that describe who you are: Apathetic, procrastinating, cold.
Pick a line from a song that you think describes you: "Be a dream in color even on a winter's night, Thinking George Seurat, afternoon bathed in light. Get your joy no matter who says it's right,Their cover's blown. Find the story of your own."
Favourite quote "In the depth of winter I found there was, in me, an invincible summer." -Aldous Huxley & "Ultimately you must venture out on your own to determine the meaning of life." - Raine Maida
Hobbies/Interests: Journalism, xbox, travel, horses/equestrian sports, books, law/media law, philosophy, spanish.
Likes: [in addition to the above] Mel Brooks, Robin Williams, Leonardo DiCaprio, snow, jolly ranchers, gilmore girls, europe, a ton of stuff I don't remember.
Dislikes: People reading over my shoulder, drugs, cigarettes, binge drinking, tons of other stuff.
Either Or...
Bravery or Revenge: Bravery, revenge is so malicious. I prefer to just step up and deal with it - if I survive then I'm venerated and if I don't then I'm mourned. Win win situation :D
Social or Anti-social: Preferably a mix of both, but I guess social moreso.
Brilliance or Imagination: Brilliance, I feel like that could include imagination along with regular intelligence.
Street smart or Book smart: Street smart. Anyone can pick up a book and learn, picking up street tips is much harder and probably more vital.
Pessimist or Optimist Optomist who carries an umbrella. Hope for the best, expect the worst etc.
Night or Day Day, bad things always happen at night.
Leader or Follower Leader definitely, but I'm not too stubborn to relinquish control to someone who'd be better.
Laid-Back or Tense Usually laid-back. I'm pretty apathetic and it takes a lot to piss me off.
Realist or Dreamer Real dreamer? haha. I have dreams but I don't let go of reality so much that I can't practically achieve those dreams.
Favourites:
Movies Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein..okay well all of Mel Brooks' movies. What Dreams May Come, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken... honestly anything that Leonardo DiCaprio and Robin Williams have been in.
Books The Great Gatsby, Harry Potter, Janet Evanovich books, The Phantom of the Opera. I read so much that I really can't choose favorites, but those are certainly up at the top.
Music Third Eye Blind, Our Lady Peace, Dave Matthews Band, Rilo Kiley, Carla Bruni, Incubus, Jimmy Eat World, etc.
Artist (optional) Miró :)

Would you attempt the impossible, even if you were told it couldn't be done? I wouldn't attempt it just because I was told it couldn't be done. But if it was something I wanted, I'd attempt it.
Would you do what you thought was right, even without the help or support of others? Sure, I always do.
Are you dependable? Generally, yes.
Who or What would you lay in front of a tank for? Anyone who is a vaguely decent human. My friends, my family. I'm not really afraid of death.
The Movies and Characters-
Favorite Johnny character and why?: Sweeny Todd, but that's probably because I loved the play so much. It was one of my first introductions to irony and a really great plot twist that, when I was young, astounded me. As for the movie version, I just loved Johnny's portrayal - he captured the character in both his vengeance and obsession so perfectly.
Which character do you relate to most and why?: JM Barrie. I can relate to someone who turns their life experiences into a story that has delighted kids for years (even if it didn't delight the kids it was about, I think they all died pretty terribly). He's a former journalist who desperately didn't want to grow up (due to childhood events which didn't happen to me, but I still don't want to grow up).
Favorite scene from with a Johnny character in it? Probably any scene from Fear & Loathing, that movie unsettled me enough for me to make it memorable.
Favorite quotes by Johnny characters (no more then three):
"Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, 'He can't climb that mountain, he's just a man', or 'That's not a diamond, it's just a rock.' Just. " -J.M. Barrie
Favorite Johnny Character movie, and why?: What's Eating Gilbert Grape (I know I'm all over it with my movies) because it has Johnny Depp and Leo in it. Can't get any better.
