Pudding... L LIEKS. L CAN HAS?
Name: Heather Lynn
Age: 20
Height: 5'6"
Personality: INFP. My personality is really hard to pin down, because it seems like on a week-to-week basis, I change how I think. I'd say a huge part of who I am is being eclectic- though I'm introverted, I tend to get along with just nearly anyone at all because I'm not incredibly defensive and I can find common ground with just about anyone. I don't consider myself a huge nerd, but I don't consider myself a normal person either. I know many people are prone to say this, but I honestly feel as if I'm in the middle of everything- unlabelable, if you will. I've actually had people tell me that I AM unlabelable, so I'm not just saying that to try to appear unique. For the most part, though, I am laid back, understanding, and child-like... I'm perpetually stuck in this looking-to-the-future attitude about life, thinking that even if things aren't the most desirable presently, there is always something to look forward to around the bend. I'm a very firm believer in that life is what you make it- lucky breaks are few and far in between, and if you sit around waiting for somebody to start your future for you, you're going to end up with nothing to show for your life. My most important goal, though, is happiness. I'm a little stubborn in that I get so caught up in one thing that I tend to forget what my initial goal was, but the good thing is that I'm usually never too late to save myself. I stop, reanalyze my feelings, and then set my internal compass for the correct direction. Another point to note about me is that I am extremely open- I carry no bias or prejudice towards anyone, and even though it is human nature to WANT to do this, and to label others, I strive to think outside of that box as often as I possibly can. My least favorite thing in the world is stereotypes.
Strengths: I'm confident in my abilities (sometimes to the point of being arrogant). I'm intelligent; I CAN be booksmart- I graduated rather high in my class, but I'd say I'm more proud of my ability to observe others and find patterns in society- thanks to this, I'm pretty good at familiarizing with other people no matter what the circumstances. I'm creative, too- this mostly comes from a long history of role playing, drawing, and being pushed by my family to use my ideas. Though I tend to be pretty quiet around people I don't know well, I am very very open to my friends and loved ones, and would do anything to protect them. I'm fiercely loyal to anyone who has my complete trust, though it may be hard to earn initially.
Weaknesses: I'm rather forgetful, cluttered, and disorganized, emphasis on the FORGETFUL part- my friends and I laugh at the limited capacity of my memory. At the end of the day, though, I guess I'd say it's more of a selective memory thing than true stupidity. If I really want to remember something, I'll remember it forever. I'm also lazy... I'm all about instant gratitude, and I tend to lack lasting willpower- for instance, I can diet for about a week, but if something depressing comes along, I make excuses and things fall apart. I'm very very impatient and hate waiting for anything too long- it either makes me angry or makes me sick. Speaking of anger- my temper, children, is crazy hard to take the reigns on. One of my biggest pet peeves in the world is being CORRECTED- I can take criticism to a certain degree, but depending on how it is delivered, I may become really nasty. I need to vent- NEED. Usually, if someone irritates me, I publicly put on a happy face and try to 'kill a person with kindness,' if you will, but the second I get a chance, I'm on the sidelines ranting to a close friend using every expletive I know til I feel better- I've always been explosive about my anger, just not necessarily to the face of the person causing it.
Bad Habits: Eating when depressed/bored/whatever other excuse I can find (I love food D: ), pushing people away that show interest in me too fast, spending money on things for my collections
Likes: drawing, music (my life is in dire need of a soundtrack), reading, animation, Pixar, livejournal, stamping communities, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Ouran High School Host Club, Death Note, shounen-ai, (some) shoujo-ai, Gravitation, FAKE, Azumanga Daioh, 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
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 haughty about it, when people live up to their stereotypes, sheeple, labels, being stagnant
Hobbies: drawing, writing, daydreaming, role playing, reading, playing video games (rarely- only if they're really good, like Zelda, whoo am I a fan of that...!), making graphics, collecting
Talents: drawing, writing (to a certain degree), creating stories and characters
Interests: Honestly? See likes. They're... the same. :P
Favourite character: ... It's pretty much impossible for me to pick a single favorite. Here are my most favorites, with reasons:
L: I like L because he's the ultimate match to Light (I don't mean in a yaoi-like way, but lol, I'm not against it). Near was an acceptable substitute that did eventually catch Light, but nothing will compare to those awesome one-on-one mind battles between Light and L in the beginning of the series. L is smart and for justice, but there's also this degree of innocence to him that came from having so little of a social life. The way he acted when Light agreed to become friends with him- his gratitude, despite his suspicion in Light, felt so genuine. L was a genius, but between his happiness to have 'friends,' his constant eating of sweet foods, and his 'unique' body language, he felt like a kid to me.
Ryuk: I like Ryuk because he's very... relaxed. You know, not on anyone's side, a bit of a trouble maker, but ultimately just taking it easy the entire time. I know this is mostly because he's not human, so he doesn't have to abide by our rules and morals as everyone else in Death Note does, but I still liked his attitude. And I found the puppy-like behavior of begging for apples to be cute. Heh. :P
Mello: To put it simply: I always like flawed characters. Characters with lots of emotion, out there in a diabolical position, making mistakes. Raw characters. Mello's definitely one of them. Driven by a childhood need to one-up Near, though he is smart, he's more one to act on impulse and instinct than to sit back calculating for too long. I just like him because he's wreckless, dastardly, and somewhat unpredictable.
Mikami: I love Mikami for reasons similar to Mello, actually. Honestly, in real life, I tend to despise blind followers (especially ones doing so for ultra-religious reasons, urgh), but Mikami's past is what did it for me- somewhat of a tortured childhood, ripe with death and despair... Mikami, you can tell, had the right idea (his love of helping people stemming from their expressed gratitude), but just kind of got mixed up along the way. He's like this grown child, looking for admiration and approval from God for his ideals and actions, since his mother would give him none. I don't know, Mikami was just a victim of circumstance. I like him.
Matsuda: Come on, how could you not like Matsuda? I admire his faith in people, his ability to work hard and want to prove himself, and his genuine attitude. He may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but I did find it rather irritating how much he got yelled at or disagreed with. Even in stating simple opinions, everyone would say, "You're wrong, Matsuda. It's not like that." Too bad fact and opinion are two different things! >:P Poor guy.
Least favourite character: It's hard to say, considering the entire storyline is so great, and I tend to love all characters that help to move the story along if it's written well enough... I guess I'll go ahead and say Misa is my least favorite, though. I appreciate her as a character, but in real life, I can't stand her type of woman... Putting their faith into one man they hardly know, placing him on a pedestal, completely IGNORING his faults... Light in Misa's mind and Light in the real world were two entirely different people, but Misa was too blind to care. She just allowed herself to be used. She was a decent plot device, but much like Light, I can't see her as much more than that.
Would you use the Death Note?: Absolutely not. Divine judgment is just that- divine. I am far from perfect, and I'd have no business ever writing in that sucker.
Who would you use it on, and why?: I wouldn't. I HAVE had a few instances in my life where I've thought "Man, if this person was just gone from my life, I'd be so much happier," but even in THOSE times I wished the person simply had never existed, as opposed to wishing to kill them. I suppose that's almost worse, in a way, haha... but at least that wish is impossible.
Do you support Kira?: No. World peace and happiness could never be achieved through fear- the entire world would constantly be watching its back, and spending all of your time and energy second guessing yourself, hoping Kira would not pass judgment on you would never be the path to true bliss. At best, the world would be on the brink of chaos, all the time. I'm not a fan of dictatorships.
Anything else you'd like to add?: I just finished reading the manga earlier today for the first tiiime. :D I'm so crazy obsessed with stamping communities... XD
