Location: Stateside

Dislikes: pants, clothes in general but being cold sucks -- my blood is soooooooo thin! lol, most remakes and sequels, conflicts (if I'm not starting them or see no reason to be involved), when people are afraid to be themselves, when people don't take responsibility for their own shit, any however "legitimate" fear I might have, Joss Whedon's "Astonishing X-Men"
-Please List No More Than 10 of Each-
Favorite Movies: What About Bob?, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, Airheads, Koyaanisqatsi:Life Out of Balance, The Boondock Saints, Pan's Labyrinth, Citizen Kane, Jurassic Park, Leon aka The Professional...
Favorite Musicians and/or Musical Groups: David Bowie, My Chemical Romance, Covenant, The Moody Blues, Bauhaus, The Who, Queen, Muse, The Rolling Stones, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness...
Favorite Books: Good Omens, Frankenstein, Watchmen (yes, comics are books now, didn't you get the memo?), Fray, Beyond Good & Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future, Harry Potter series, Altered States, Exquisite Corpse...
Favorite Foods: cheese, broccoli, pasta, Things That Are Bad For Me
Favorite Television Shows: Buffy, Angel, The Wayans Bros., Firefly, The Simpsons (sometimes), The X-Files, Living Single, The Lone Gunmen, The Walking Dead, Jersey Shore (casually, lol...idg the hype...or the hate...ooh let's stereotype and slut-shame everybody *eyeroll*...they seem pretty normal to me...but that might say more about my definition of normal, idk this might be one of those rare times when I feel like the only sane one in a world of crazy...and lol)
Strengths: I learn quickly, and am actually very good at planning to an extent and thinking things through, but I thrive on hands-on tasks and improvisation, I can be pretty charming when I want to be and good at getting what I want, I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong or have made a mistake, I'm flexible and able to adapt to almost any situation, I have mountains of doubts but I don't really let any of them stop me...unless physics or law enforcement are encouraging said doubts...
Oh yeah that's a fun game, Let's defy physics! Fun and stupid...and fun.
Weaknesses: My biggest problem is treating the world like it's some way hostile or untrustworthy to me, I don't always care about how my actions effect other people until or unless it might affect me in some way (or my reputation anyway, the part of me I care anything about.../self esteem issues), I can be pretty impatient when making plans that involve counting on other people to follow through, I don't generally read directions unless I know I can't do it on my own -- otherwise I think I can try, I don't particularly like explaining anything (my motives, feelings, etc.) because I find it irrelevant and/or repetitive, I HATE TEDIUM and I'm terrified of commitment and always feel like a fool asking anybody else to commit to me or my schemes...so sometimes I lie and don't. My communication fail: let me show u it.
Fears: Being stuck or pidgin-holed into something that would be tantamount to failure..."Decisions, decisions, I'm a president, I don't make decisions!"
Hobbies: changing it up, dragging things out, fandom activities, making fun of assholes, making shitty graphics, photography, writing...
The One Thing You Want To Do More Than Anything: Make Movies, influence people on a wide scale, Teach Kids (At Any Age) What Their Parents Don't (Or Didn't) Have Time To Say
House Related Questions
Who is your favorite character and why? HECTOR!!!!
Do you have a favorite episode? Care to Share? Not really, no. Each one is kind of better than the last.
Do you have a favorite quote and/or snark? Wanna tell us? "Another day saved by girl-on-girl action."
Do you have a favorite House accessory? Tempted to say House's guitar, but I gotta love that red rubber ball.
If you were sick, would you want House as a doctor? Fuck no. He can add insight, because, yeah, he's a genius, but he cares too much about being right than the welfare of the patient, to quote the immortal words of Tom Hanks in Castaway I want "WILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!"
Which character do you identify with most? This can include a patient. Foreman, probably. See above (strengths, weaknesses, fears) for why. Maybe I'd want to be Jack Moriarty -- just because Elias Koteas is a bamf, I thought it was actually a pretty weak "homage" -- but I couldn't shoot House. I might just want to occasionally...then the feeling passes as I realize that I'm better than that. Even if House kind of wants it. I would not be opposed to an elaborate prank...or two.
Most importantly, what is your non-House favorite quote?
Ooookay, but I'm a bit suspect why this is categorized as "most important"
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
**extra** please include a pic of yourself, it would be really nice. :)
Sure, but not because I'm being nice XD
