About You
Favorite Color: silver, black, deep reds and purples, shades of sky blues
Favorite Food: salmon anything, including sushi
Favorite Song (and why): I like too many to choose...
Strengths: Dispite my LJ entries, I am intelligent. I have IQ tests to prove this, and will debate your ass off over politics, religion, etc. Art, I suppose is another strong point of mine. Creativity, and mental visualization, also. I'm loyal to a fault, but only to the few I trust and consider important to me.
Weaknesses: I will admit I'm opinionated, and rather stubborn when it comes to my opinions. Recently I've learned to give a little more way, but I'd rather it be my way. I'm hard on myself. I'm used to being the top, the best, etc, so I really kick myself if I'm not what I think was "up to par", even if others don't think so.
What you love: creating things - be it images, soundfiles, clay models, food, whatever. Being the "alpha". Getting feedback on what I do. Accomplishing something to the standards I've set for myself.
What you hate: Liars, people who don't know when to go away/stop talking, Conservatives, people who always have to be right (I am aware of the hypocrisy), people who can't seem to follow simple instructions, people who act they have more authority than they really do, being "second" best. I. HATE. CHILDREN.
Hobbies & Interests: collecting things, anime, yaoi, internet and 'net coding (html, php), one-player video games, daydreaming
Your dream: Hmm. I've been thinking career-wise lately, so that's the first thing that comes to mind, or the "where do you want to be in xx years". I want to.. travel the world, learn all I can, own a motorcycle, see the ocean with a close friend or lover... FIND that one person out there... Yes. That.
Either-Or
Optimistic or Pessimistic: a little of both.
Mature or Immature: immature. I can be mature, I just prefer not to. Immaturity is "funner".
Summer or Winter: summer. Winter is depressing.
Morning or Night: night, ftw! I'm totally nocturnal.
Outgoing or Shy: outgoing as of late. I've adopted a "hey, I won't see these people again so what's it matter" or "don't want to have any regrets about what I could have done" attitude.
Conservative or Risky: depends on the situation. If it's not really important or not a lot to lose, then risky.
Lead or Follow: lead.
Confident or Modest: somewhere between.
Logic or Emotion: logic, captain.
In-depth
Can you put your trust in people? Why or why not?
No. It takes a LOT for me to trust others. I've been deeply hurt and betrayed by "friends" too many times. Especially when I was little... I was niave and trusted everyone, and my life was miserable and lonely for it.
Even if you've managed to gain my trust, you only get bits of it. I don't know if I can ever fully trust someone.
Do you prefer working with a group or alone? Why or why not?
Alone. I don't have to worry about coordinating with others, or them not listening to me and my ideas. I follow the "if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself" philosophy.
Do you: Help people whenever you can; Wish you helped people but walk away anyway; or believe people get what they deserve?
Wish I had helped. I was raised not to talk to strangers, and learned that other people WILL take advantage of your trust, so I'm very wary. I'd like to think I could have helped, but you never know if that guy who asked you and your friends for money to get gas to see his daughter in the hospital really needed gas money, or just needed drug money. I feel bad because there's the chance he might be telling the truth, but there's also the chance he just wants money.
That, and cars along the side of the highway. I'd always love to stop and help someone with car trouble - I've got a kit in my car - but damn being female as we can get taken advantage of. =/ *curses gender*
Do you act on impulse and instinct or do you take time to think things through?
A combination of both, and it depends on the situation. If I'm lost on the highway, for example, I can think it through all I want, but if I just listen to myself and take that next exist or whatever, I get home no prob.
If it's something that involves money or other tangible goods, I'd certainly think it through.
I think generally any decision should be made with a balance of both instinct AND logic.
What is your choice weapon and why?
Small, close-range knives/swords.
I (theoretically) like close-range combat, and have pretty good reflexes. One of the few times I'd accept, enjoy even, the invasion of my personal space would be during such combat. There's something primal and feral about it that I like.
Also mind-fuckery, because it's so fun to drive people insane/piss them off. I doubt I'd have time to delve into an individual's psyche enough to mindfuck them in a combat situation, though.
What is one thing you believe in more than anything? Would you fight for it?
Hmm. First thing that comes to mind is (at risk of sounding corny) love. And hell yes I'd fight for it. Die, even.
Evener cornier and more cliche, the one I love. Whoever that may be. Fighting and dying again applies.
If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?
Phsyically, I'd like to be taller and stronger. Probably stronger, if I had to choose one. Thankfully, that's something I *can* change.
Non-phsyical, I dunno. Be more motivated? Or less lazy. Sort of the same thing, really.
Extra
(If you have three (3) clear pictures of yourself, provide them. If not, provide a detailed description of yourself)
I don't think I have 3 clear or recent pics of myself in non-cosplay, so you get a description.
I've got short-ish blonde hair (but my friends and I are attempting to dye it for a cosplay. Won't say who, it mightinfluence your decision).
Like I said, I'm short... 5'2". But for whatever reason, people don't seem to really notice this about me.
My eyes are green/hazel with gold rings around the pupils. (I can see really well in the dark!)
I've got some muscle build, especially in the shoulder/arm area. Certainly not overly so, but I'm getting to a point where I'm proud of it. Getting abs, too.
Very pale. (I work 3rd shift, and can get sunburned from 30 minutes of driving in the car. You expect me to go out in daylight?)
What else is there to say, really?

Most of those were probably already rated at this point, but I *do* have this requirement to fill.
I don't have a witty closing statement.
