~About You~
Positive traits: Intelligent, creative, contemplative and resourceful. I'm also loving, kind and loyal to those I love and care for. I am driven, inspired and ambitious. I am open-minded and I think that people should be treated fairly and equally, regardless of difference. I do have a lighter side, and I do like to make light of a situation if I can. I can be the comedic relief when the right moment comes along.
Negative traits: I'm incredibly aloof and I am by all definitions a textbook loner. I am emotionally awkward, even though I've recently got back in touch with my emotions, but it still comes out really awkward as mentioned. I have a tendency to seethe and not tell what's wrong with me. I'm stubborn as all get out, and even when I'm told no, I'll still do it. I have a real problem with people telling me what to do. I am forgetful and I can be intimidating, especially to people who don't know me.
Likes/interests/hobbies: Writing, reading, spending time with my loved ones, watching movies/television shows, listening to music, contemplating, spirituality, roleplaying, journaling, sleeping, making graphics on Photoshop, the occasional video game, following American football. I also like helping others and being involved in different causes. And, I've also realized that I'm interested in cooking and baking. I'm normally not a domestic, but you learn new things about yourself everyday.
Dislikes/pet peeves: Bigotry, the self-righteous, hypocrisy, animal cruelty, fakes, mundanity, the ignorant (and people who glorify in said ignorance), teeth grinders, men who leave the toilet seat up, internet/text speak (LOL, DIAF, it's all alphabet soup to me), getting woken way too early, being hot, being thirsty
What are some of your goals and dreams? My biggest dream is to become a published author. I really want to be out there, publishing my books, making people think or feel or both, and creating something that means something. I would love to be a jill-of-all-trades. I would love to publish books, scripts for movies/television/stage, write graphic novels, and whatever else I would be drawn to. But then, my other goals are more down to earth. I am a victim of Fibromyalgia, PCOS and severe depression. I am not ashamed to mention that I live with these facts. But my main goal is to be healthy and find a way to cope with them, instead of letting them dominate my life. I want my debts cleared, and to be financially stable. I want to make a difference in this world and help people fight for their rights, their needs, and to make this world a better place. I want to travel and experience life in different places. I want a lot out of life, and I am trying my best every day to do it.
How do you feel about love and relationships? I feel love is one of the most important things in the world. Where a lot of people would say money makes the world go round, I would love for it to be instead love. With love, I see it as different things. There's romantic love, sexual love, familiar love, and platonic love. All of them are needed and special. I have had some bad relationships in the past, but, I still keep going. I do believe that there is someone out there for me, even if I don't meet them this lifetime. With non-romantic relationships, I value the ones I have, the ones that have stand the test of time. These would be the people I do consider family, whether it be blood ties or not.
~This or That~
Cynical or trusting? Cynical. Trust is one of my biggest issues.
Choosing your own destiny or accepting your fate? Choosing your own destiny. In my opinion, I believe in fighting fate and doing what you believe in, regardless if it's wrong or right.
Introverted or extroverted? Extremely introverted.
Idealistic or realistic? I'm realistic. Now, this isn't to say that I don't have my own flights of fancy or fantasies, but my feet are firmly placed on the ground.
Optimistic or pessimistic? I'd like to say that I'm an optimistic-pessimist. I like to look on the brighter side, but I like to keep it real too.
Confident or insecure? Confident. I've fought long and hard for my own confidence. It's something that does need tending to, sometimes, but I really feel I've gotten so much better about it.
Independent or dependent? Independent, fiercely so. I live my whole life to the beat of one drum: my own.

~If you were in a fairytale…~
Oh no! An evil witch/dragon/ogre/evil king has kidnapped you! What do you do? Fight back. I'm not going to sit around and wait for someone to save me. If I do that, I'd probably be disgusted with myself and probably dead. Granted, I'm not much of a fighter, but in this instance, I'd pull out everything to keep alive.
You are at a ball, and you notice a handsome prince trying to catch your eye. How would you react? Be amused, very amused actually. If I was at that ball; I'd probably be trying to catch the eye of one of the princesses or a lonely fairy godmother. ;)
A very old woman comes to your door and asks you for a bit to eat and a place to sleep for the night. What would you do? Do as she asks. You never know, she'd probably be something that's just waiting for you to do the wrong thing, and you would be turned into something.
If life as you knew it was suddenly turned upside-down and you lost everything, what would you do? Move on. I'd be sad and grief-stricken if I lost everything, don't get me wrong. But, I know that I would have to soldier on. I know that the people in my life would be upset if I didn't.
~Other Fairytale Questions~
Do you like fairytales? I love fairytales, and I still read them. I find them to be literature at it's most purest point. I love the retellings as well, it's so creative how people can take an old story and make it new.
Is there a character (or two) that you don’t think is like you, or that you strongly dislike? The one I don't feel fits me is Snow White. Okay, if some strange woman keeps pestering you and lurking around your house, I doubt I would be like "okay, go ahead and kill me!"
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Nope, I'm good.
And because votes are still a must…
