Next~
Hobbies;
playing piano, listening to music, drawing, reading, philosophizing, having intellectual discussions, observing the world around me (particularly human behaviour), learning new things...
Talents;
I am quite a fast learner, particularly in the arts and languages area. I am also very good at reading the emotions and thoughts in people, and sensing the mood and atmosphere of different places. Another talent I have is manipulating others (either intentionally, or unintentionally...I tend to be rather influential whenever I come in contact with anyone...which is why I usually remain "invisible", because when I do interact with others, the result is usually not neutral...).
Likes;
Philosophy, the paranormal, anime and manga (Juuni Kokki, X, Kyou Kara Maou, Peacemaker Kurogane, Last Exile, Fruits Basket, Tactics, Honey and Clover, Getbackers, Prince of Tennis, Earth Girl Arjuna), fantasy, music, beautiful and elegant things, metaphors/symbolism, elves (Tolkien version), myths and legends, languages, poetry, anything else that happens to be sufficiently interesting...
Dislikes;
Ignorance, politicians, narrow-mindedness, boredom,stagnancy, rudeness, pessimism, being ignored, not having enough time, being ordered around, strong offensive odours (such as cigarette smoke and some perfumes), loud distracting noises...
Strong points;
My best qualities are probably my wisdom, open-mindedness, and calm, observant nature. Because of this, people tend to seek me out for advice and comfort whenever they have problems.
Weak points;
My weakest points--> contradictory nature (for example, I am hardworking but lazy, modest but arrogant, honest to the point of bluntness but also very sly and manipulative), tendency to procrastinate
Favorites
Favorite Color;
I can like all colours depending on what the colours are on...but I guess if I had to choose, then black, white, red, silver, and all shades of blue and green.
Favorite Food;
I prefer foods that have as little oil and fat as possible (oily, fat food make me ill...X__X) and are not too extreme in flavour (especially sweetness...have been traumatized too many times by too sweet foods...*cough, hack*). I also have a taste for somewhat bittersweet food (just like how I tend to like bittersweet artwork, stories, music, etc. XD) Some of my fave foods are: Sushi, strawberries, anything Mom cooks...^__^
Favorite Book;
I can't choose just one anymore so-->My absolute favourite books are the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. If you look at my "likes", I think it would become quite obvious why I love Silmarillion so much. Elves, timeless fairytale-like stories, beauty, fantasy...*getting nostalgic* As for the Hitchhiker's Guide, that book (or rather...trilogy of five. :D) is the most hilarious and clever thing I've ever read. It's very entertaining while at the same time, is very thought-provoking. Philosophical humour, you've got to love it. XD Other books I also love are Prospero's Children by Jan Siegel, the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, Songmaster by Orson Scott Card, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, and the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling.
Favorite Animal;
Ah no...such a hard choice...I like so many animals...dolphins, certain types of dogs and cats, sea otters, horses...can I choose a mythical creature? I absolutely adore the phoenix, so majestic and beautiful...*__* The phoenix symbolizes so much that I believe in...the inner fire, truth, freedom, death and rebirth, and so much more, which is why I made it into my personal symbol
Hyotei-wise
Favorite Hyotei player and why;
Atobe-sama. He is my ideal type of person: beautiful, powerful, multi-talented, influential, strong-willed, proud, complex, interesting. There are just so many facets to his character, so much to explore, so much to be "awed" by. I just find him to be a very admirable type of person (my favourite people/characters are always of the impressive type. There must be something about them that really sparks my interest and makes me "awed". hehe.) Every time Atobe appears, a certain fire, passion, is ignited in the atmosphere and PoT suddenly becomes just that much more interesting and entertaining (as if it wasn't enough already). I think that PoT would just not be the same without this amazing presence that is Atobe. He's just that amusing....^___^
Favorite technique/move by a Hyotei player;
I'm not sure... I love Hametsu no Rondo, Higuma Otoshi, and Scud Serve...I guess if I really had to choose one, then it would be Higuma Otoshi. I never get bored of watching that move. Oshitari makes it look so cool and elegant. :D
Favorite Hyotei pairing;
Ohtori/Shishido and Oshitari/Atobe because I can't choose. The Silver Pair is just too sweet and fluffy to not love. I love how the two of them seem to be so close and devoted to each other. A perfect couple that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ^__^ As for Oshitari/Atobe, they are a couple that really fascinates me (not to mention, they look great together :D). Although, this pairing always seems a bit bittersweet (mainly because I support Tezuka/Atobe, so it's actually a kind of almost one-sided love ;__;) I've always imagined Oshitari to be the person in Hyoutei who knows Atobe best apart from Kabaji, and is constantly Atobe's intellectual partner. It's a relationship with much hidden depth and potential...
If you could be a Hyotei tennis club member for 24 hours, who would you be?
Atobe, of course. :)
Why?
I'd like to feel what it is like to be that charismatic, talented and powerful. Imagine what it would be like to feel the energy of all those who are in awe of ore-sama. It's a lovely feeling. :D Hmm...I also would like to be Jiroh though...completely carefree and cheerful... not worrying about anything, loveable, sleeping the day away....ahhh...
Almost there, PULL!
Hyper or Calm?
I am usually a person who can remain quite calm in any kind of situation.
Leader or Follower?
Leader. I typically hate having to follow others, because I usually disagree with them (my ideas are better, hah! *indignant, arrogant brat mode*) When I leave the leadership to other people, I feel helpless and annoyed because they usually mess up somehow...(in my mind anyways...in fact, I have had many many nightmares of the type where I am not in control and disaster strikes...XD). So yeah, until there finally comes along someone actually worthy of being my leader (and even then, I would not like to leave everything to their control), I would much prefer leading.
Logical or Impulsive?
Usually logical, but I can be impulsive too. It comes from being both a philosopher and someone more connected to their intuitive side.
Conservative or All-out?
I usually am rather quiet, introverted, and conservative in order to protect myself, as I usually don't feel too comfortable revealing too much of myself. However, if I feel really passionately about something, I can go all out I suppose...
Any goal in life?
I guess currently, my goal is to become the best that I can be and live my life to the fullest, leaving no regrets. Ultimately, I want to live a meaningful life, where I have helped to make a big difference in the world (for the better of course...). More specifically, I aspire to become talented in many areas (because of my varied interests...), especially in healing though, so that I can help others... (I am planning on becoming a healer, not merely a "doctor", so that I can help to heal a person's mind, body, and soul, rather than just the body. ^__^)
If a random person walks up to you and holds your hand all of a sudden, what would you do?
I would look puzzlingly at them, quickly pull my hand away and demand to know why they did that. o_O It is a little disturbing to have that happen all of a sudden you know....
Anything Else?
Guess I'll mention some of my fears then. The feeling of utter loneliness always makes me feel extremely uncomfortable (sick even...>.>). I hate parasites (ew...bugs...), gore (blood I am fine with, but gore...no...), and curiously enough, I also have a fear of fragile creatures, especially butterflies. I used to freak out every time a butterfly came near (although I'm getting more used to it now after all that anime and manga...I don't know why they love to torture butterflies so much...T___T). This fear I think is not really a fear of the creatures themselves, but a fear of them breaking *shudders*. Now that I think of it...add delicate fish to that..fish and butterflies...O__O
[post atleast 1 picture of yourself. thanks! ^_^ If you're completely uncomfortable with that, at least post a description. Hair, eye color, height, distinguising features, etc.]
