Hi! I was stamped sometime last year (like, September or something) as Amiboshi. I was just reapplying to see if anything in that still stands.
Name: (real name if possible) Lauren
Nicknames: Takato/Tak
Age: 21, turning 22 in November
Gender: female
Likes:
Reading, sewing, drawing, writing, mythology, history, cultures, anime and manga, Japanese/classical/instrumental music, videogames, board games, movies, pirates, ninjas.
Dislikes:
MARY SUES! Close-minded, mean and homophobic people, crowded places, lables, BRATz *shivers*, stereotypes, fashion, people who dress up their daughters to make them look mature (and they wonder why there's so many rape cases), kids in general, preppies, jocks, bullies, my hormones, food sometimes.
Hobbies:
I recently took a four-week crash course in sewing, and I found I like it a lot (I'm hoping to make my Sanzo costume sometime soon!). Though I'm hardly a master seamstress (as I have a lot of trouble sewing zips in), I also enjoy writing and drawing, and researching mythology and cultures. Mythology is one of the things I really love, ever since taking Ancient Civilizations classes in college, and I enjoy the different types of things I find out (such as the fact that in Egyptian mythology, Seth gave his own nephew Osiris the very first pick-up line, and that still amuses me).
Talents:
Same as my hobbies.
Strong Points:
I'm lovable, friendly and creative. I'll always fight for and probably die for my nakama (friends); I love them so much, especially since they're so forgiving for all the shit I do. I have a wild imagination sometimes, and I also care very much for everyone around me. I'm described by my family as the kindest, most caring person you'll find, and it's most likely true; mum said one day that I'd most likely give my last two cents to the hobo on the street corner, though I'm more likely to give it to my friends if they were in a jam with money.
I can be very protective of my nakama, to the point of being willing to kill someone who hurts them. I'm loyal, intelligent, and it takes a long time to gain my trust after all the hurt I've gone through in the past.
Weak Points:
I can get easily flustered and cry a lot, especially if I'm having a panic attack. I'm gullible almost to the extent of being pitiful. I can't handle money very well, as I seem to spend it the moment I get it. I'm also very selfish and can get jealous quite easily, though my jealousy has toned down somewhat after my girlfriend broke up with me last October for that reason. I can get slightly pouty without meaning to as well. I can also get very depressed in a short amount of time.
Favorite Color:
Purple, green, dark red and black.
Optimistic or Pessimistic:
Pessimistic, with a bit of optimism, depending on my mood.
Hyper or Calm or Normal Energy:
A bit of both calm and hyper. I can be calm in situations that doesn't concern one of my fears (such as needles), and in other situations I can be incredibly hyper.
Impulsive or Think Things Through:
Impulsive, especially when it comes to money. I could have four hundred dollars and blow it all on manga, anime and food (and this really happened, though it was about $1000 that was in may bank account at the time). I'm an impulsive buyer. Anything else I think things through.
Outgoing or Shy:
Outgoing when I'm with my friends, shy around strangers.
Mature or Immature?:
A bit of both, depending on situations and my mood. I can be mature with my family and immature with a bit of maturity with my friends.
Leader or Follower?:
Follower. I've never lead anyone in my life.
If you had the 3 wishes, what would they be?:
1.) Give the world a good economic system that can last for years and better world leaders than what we have.
2.) Stop world hunger.
3.) For homosexual marriages/bondings and homosexuals in general to be accepted by everyone.
Favorite Character? Why?:
Chichiri. At first my favourite character was Noriko (still is to an extent), but Chichiri grew on me after his first appearance, and although it's been a while since I've read Fushigi Yuugi, he still is my favourite. It's his personality that draws me to him.
Anything else?:
If you think it will help, take a look at my LJ. Also, I was stamped as Amiboshi last time and would like to be voted as someone different, please!
