"Edo this, Edo that...I'm not the f-ing capital of Japan!"
General Stuff
Name/nickname:Sara, Merry (believe it or notXD)
Age:22
Likes/Hobbies:
-Reading. I’m such a geek. I hardly go out, and when I do, it’s usually my friends pulling. Reading has been my life for many years; I have a very high capacity to absorb and memorize everything that I read, and I do so very fast. I like complicated reads, as well as light ones. I read everything that lands on my hands except for romance (except for Jane AustenXD).
-Travelling. I LOVE to go abroad; I wouldn’t say “no” to any journey to an unknown place, and many that I have been to. It’s fascinating and you find in this a richness that’s lacking from everything else in life.
-Writing. It’s how I want to live, so I better like itXD. I love writing for the same reasons I love reading. Though it tends to make me obsessed when I’m immersed in it. I'm very good at it, too, or so I've been told
-Discussion and arguing. I love this. My mom hates itXD. I feel enthusiasm sharing my conclusions and POVs, and acquiring new ones (and information) from other people. And, as I’m a VERY hard and aggressive discussion partner, I feel a lot of power while doing it.
Favourite number is 9, since forever; don't know why.
My favourite type of music is punk rock, but my favourite song in all time is "Now and Then" by Blackmore's Night.
My favourite season is spring, because the weather is nicest, and people are more cheerful too, my favoruite animals are wolfs or cats.
My favourite magical creature are vampires, and I like to dress in gothic-punk clothes .
And finally, I love books. They're my most precious possesion
Dislikes/Pet peeves:
-Bees and similar insects. I can’t really explain this one, it’s something I was born with. Past experiences with them didn’t help, either, because I’ve been bit thrice: in my face, in my armpit and in my groin. Go figure
-Weak, pessimistic or dependent people. I'm probably the opposite to them, and I get very frustrated and treat them harshly without meaning to,so I tyr to avoid them.
-Making myths out of people and/or artists/musicians/actors/whatever. I particularly hate groupies with a burning passion, as I think almost any music style has stupid fans and a tendency toward machismo.
-Machismo and discriminaiton toward women.
Old people frustrate me to no end most of the time. Bratty kids, I want to slap. I have almost no respect for housewives under 40 years of age.
I'm a very sloppy person, and I get uneasy if things are too neat. I'm sometimes annoyed by the way people chew their food. Groupies are the most annoying people in existance. I'm obssesive about books of the same series being exactly the same length and their covers looking the same
Strong Points:
-Self-assuredness/steem. When times are hard and things look bad, this keeps me going. When insults or treasons are thrown at or made to me, this keeps me over everyone. It sometimes breaches the line and becomes my worst quality, but I love it for what it’s worth
-Intelligence. Whatever I am, I’m not stupid. I’m, actually, very intelligent, and been told so by many different people during all my life. I thrive on it
-Optimism. I’m not cynical, or very rarely so. Optimism is the best way to be to enjoy life to the fullest and be happy and cheerful. It makes you able to think the best of everything, and the same quality forbids you to be very sad when you are let down: tomorrow will be better ^.^
-Uniqueness. I know everyone's unique in his/her own way, but too many times people say this about/to me that I had to post it. Many people say that, though I'm a hard person to be around most of the time, for the mix between being generally good at things and knowing it "too much", they still stick around me because I have "something special", there's something about me that screams "not like others" or something like that. As an incredibly conceited person most of the time, I obviously loved itXDXDXD
Weak Points:
-Arrogance. OMG, am I arrogant. And I know it, and I can’t do anything about it. I have a nice body, a sharp mind and a lot of talent at what I do. And people TELL ME. What am I supposed to think? Even so, I try to change it, since it makes my mother unhappy.
-Lazyness. This is bad, because it limits my experiences and makes it hard to work on ANYTHING. I try to change this really hard, but it’s difficult when everything’s so easy to do without doing my best.
-Naiveté. This comes from being so sheltered, and coming from a very exclusive world. This bites my ass when I try to establish romantic relationships, because I feel insecure, and that’s something I can’t stand. Trying hard to erase this one as well, but it’s proving hard.
-Harshness. I'm sometimes harsh to others, even without meaning to. I argue in a loud voice and an agressive manner, almost too agressive sometimes. I'm impatient with weak people many times, and discussing about other people's lives I often simplify things out of sheer frustration with that person
Talents:
I'm a fast learner in anything related to History, Arts and Languages. I have an innate talent for learning different languages. I'm a fast reader and a very good writer. I'm an agressive arguer who can defend almost anything. In spite of being too conceited, people say I have a lot of charm and lead people around effortlessly
Favorite Color and why?:
Red. I've always been strongly attracted to that colour. Since I was a child, if I could pick any color for anything, I would pick red. It funny, because my second last name is "Rojo" which means "red" in Spanish. It's a summer color, strong, too bright, compliments dark skin rather nicely (and I have dark skin), it's a very fiery Spanish color, it attracts all the attention and can mean both very good and very bad things
Favorite Sport:I'm not athletic at all. In fact, I hate sports, though I have a very good figure
Mature or Immature?: ImmatureXD. No question about that. Though I'm very mature where non-romantic relationships are concerned
Leader or Follower? Explain why you believe you are that way: Leader most of the time, but that's cause leaders don't come in millions. If I find the right person, I have no problem following him/her. It's just that I have a hard time trusting in people's abilities
Some Thoughtful Questions
If you were an alchemist--what would be your specialty and why?It would be hard for me to be an alchemist, because I'm so not inclined toward science, but for the cool pay-off, if I put my mind to it, I would probably have something like Roy's power, because it doesn't require that much calculations and/or level of control, and because it's fierce and wild like me
You have a friend who digs turning objects into gold. S/he doesn't care about the taboo. Do you tell the authorities, join up with him or her, or congratulate/scold the person but leave them alone? Why?
I probably wouldn't believe him/her to be capable of doing it; I would congratulate him/her, remind him/her of the taboo, ask for some of the gold for myself (when it is done, so as not to be accused of anythingXD) and leave him/her to his/her own devicesXD
If you could get rid of your most painful memory, would you? Explain why or why not. I wouldn't. Each and every memory of mine has served to shape me into the wonderful person I am today, and who knows what taking out any of them would do to me? Specially something so earth-shattering
Answer honestly. Could you kill someone? The very first time is the hardest, most say. Could you look down the barrel of a gun--or whatever weapon you have--and pull the proverbial trigger? If the person had done something horrid to you? If that person had killed the best person in your life? Remember that you'll likely go to jail/get in some form of trouble--so think who you might rather go to jail for too or if it's even worth it.
If that person had hurt/killed my family and/or friends, I would pull the trigger without a single doubt, and enjoying it. But for someone like that, I would probably prefer the slaughter to be more painful and humiilliating. My family specially is the most important thing in my life, and anyone who thought him/herself in the right to breath their air would get what's coming to them in the most ruthless way I could concot
Is there anyone you look up to in your life? And I mean in real life, not anime or movies. Real life (where it is rumored that the three-dimensional roam). If so, who is it and why? If not, why not?
As a person, my mother. She's nice, intelligent, kidn, the best mother in the world, beautiful, elegant and with a strong intelletual curiosity
As a profesional not, however. She has the worst luck, and she gives more importance to other things.
Do the ends really justify the means? Don’t look at anime/movies/books/ect-because usually, they do. Think of your own life and the real world around you.
It depends on the end, doesn't it? Generally, I would say they do, if the end is worth all what the means cause.
Are you pedantic?Yeah, a bit, in the academic meanining; I'm so not a follower of formal rules, though
If you didn’t/hadn’t know what that word in the above question meant-did/would you look it up or just wing an answer?
Ilooked it upXD. I was mostly sure what it meant, but English is not my first language, and I wanted to check
