That's all that was up for now!
[You:]
[Favourite Character:] I love almost all of the characters, especially because of how easy it is for me to relate to most of them. When I was regular stamped, I just left a list of my favorites - I think I'm going to just say Adrian Andrews this time because her development from JFA to T&T was something that stood out most to me during a replay of the games.
[Favourite Case:] 2-4. I liked driving myself crazy with
[What Role would you play?] In a relationship, I'm usually the one that does all the listening but never fully confides in her partner.
[Likes:] Hiking, horseback riding, knitting, reading (fantasy, mystery, sci-fi), scrapbooking, tennis, thinking (more of a 'what if' chain than an all-out daydream chain), writing (free form poetry, haiku, short stories). I'm also very interested in various attempts to analyze personality (from astrology to blood type) and I like to look up such things to compare my own traits. I also like to just sit down with some good music and a cup of herbal tea for an hour or so to unwind. [copied from my original survey, yes XD]
[Dislikes:] I really don't like it when people act as if they're afraid of me; I don't see how I'm not a perfectly approachable individual (I'm nice, I swear!). I hate hypocrites, unfair treatment of others, racists, homophobes, people who change their lifestyle completely only because of another person, etc. A lot of personality types tend to get on my nerves as well since so many people believe they are the absolute truth, or that they are welcome when they aren't, etc. I also have a lot of really trivial pet peeves, certain sounds mostly.
[Hobbies/Interests:] Pretty much anything I'm interested in becomes a hobby with me. The most regular things as of late are chess and horseback riding though.
[Strengths:] I am very in-charge of my emotions, so I'm able to control how people see me to a degree; if I don't want someone to see me below full-strength... they won't. I'm highly intelligent and catch on to things almost immediately, along with possessing a photographic memory. I'm very organized, and I'm able to continue working far past the 'acceptable' mark so that my work always is the best it can be. Despite people not wanting to approach me for normal things, they do come to me for advice - so I guess I appear trustworthy? I have enough of an understanding of many around me to be manipulative when I have to be, and I can put on a much more confident and self-appreciating front than I actually feel most of the time.
[Weaknesses:] I'm really distrusting of people, and it takes me weeks to finally warm-up to them enough to show more of myself than a generic front I use for situations I'm uncomfortable in. People also seem to be intimidated by me, which makes it even harder to make lasting friends. I have very little patience for idiots and poorly put together events; this leads to me having a rather short fuse in situations I feel aren't running smoothly. I'd rather fail an assignment [such as a research paper] than turn it in without my stamp of approval. And, uh, I'm paranoid - really paranoid.
[Outgoing or Shy:] I'm not shy - but I also don't like to bond with a complete stranger so people assume that I'm shy. Really, I'm not. I just like to have a better idea of the people I get involved with after working with / being in class with them for a while.
[Dominant or Submissive:] Balanced, slight lean toward dominant.
[Them:]
[Most important thing about them in a relationship:] They have to be able to give me my space when I need it. I respect others' personal spaces, and I expect the same from them.
[What role would they play?] I have no idea.
[Outgoing or Shy:] Please not overly outgoing. I would not want to meet new people all the time.
[Dominant or Submissive:] Not overbearing, not wimpy.
[The both of you:]
[What would you relationship be like?] Reserved in public, more relaxed at home.
[If you were convicted of a crime, how would your partner react?] Honestly, I would hope it'd depend on the evidence. It's important for my partner to have faith in me, but it's also important to consider the possibility of me actually being guilty.
[If your partner was convicted of a crime, how would you react?] I'd try to act like what I've suggested above; whether or not I managed to hold it together would probably depend on the crime itself.
[Who would defend them?] A competent lawyer.
[Anything else?] I think that's it.
