Favorite Quote? Why does it have significance to you? "There's more beauty in the truth, even if it is dreadful beauty. The storytellers at the city gate twist life so that it looks sweet to the lazy and the stupid and the weak, and this only strengthens their infirmities and teaches nothing, cures nothing, nor does it let the heart soar." John Steinbeck, East of Eden
I like this most because most people in life would rather have pretty lies instead of the truth, which is sometimes not so pretty. In my opinion, the truth, even if it's not always pretty, is a lot better than a fake, plastic lie. And sometimes, the truth at its most bare can be far more pleasing to the eyes than anything fake and manufactured, and I wish more people would understand that. It takes a lot of courage to face the truth, but in the end, at least you're getting the real thing.
Likes: Lessee...I like video games, reading (books and manga), drawing, writing, acting (I love acting), listening to music, just thinking for no reason, sex (did I say that?), but my friends most of all, they mean a whole lot to me. Oh, and the beach and the ocean, I love them. There's nothing like spending the day there and watching the sun set.
Dislikes: Hypocrites, close-minded people, and food. I don't have an eating disorder...but I dislike eating food anyway.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Why? Uh...anime, manga, video games, those are the top three. I also like music and movies, playing guitar, and I love acting. I like sex too. I guess I enjoy doing these things because it's a way to unwind from every day life, y'know? Not to be an escapist or anything like that, but sometimes, it's good to defocus on reality and just entertain yourself a little.
Who do you look up to as a model for how to live your life? Why? I guess my older brother. Mainly, because he has so much talent in art, talent I always wished I had, so I always tried to catch up to him and to be as good as him. I realized that it won't happen, but he's still my benchmark anyway.
Your best quality? Why? I guess my best is that I'm independent. I enjoy doing things my own way and just doing what makes me happy. I think it's my best simply because lots of people live their lives according to one particular way, and I don't want to do that. I want to make myself happy first and foremost, and I can't do that if I'm doing what others want.
Your worst? Why? Though most don't really notice, I'm very oversensitive. People'll say things and think it rolls off my back, but in reality I internalize it and think over and over about it. I know that not everyone means things the way they say it, and I know I have to not always listen, but it's a habit.
The world's not a perfect place. What would you want to change about it? Why? I think just have people listen to each other more. People hear what others say, but they're not really listening. If they were, then we'd be much better off. If we could listen to one another, we'd know what was really wrong and how to fix it.
You're not perfect, either. What would you change about yourself? Why? Nothing, because if I did, I wouldn't be me. I'd be someone else. I have faults and I have good qualities, and both make me who I am.
Do you believe in people? Yes, and people should more often.
In yourself? Of course.
If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why? I think maybe Satoshi. He's very enigmatic, but at the same time, we start seeing his motives behind his actions. He clearly does things for a reason, and I'd like to know what those reasons are.
Anything else? Ice cream is beyond awesome.
I shall vote on apps now. ^^;
