♪ REGULAR PERSONALITY APPLICATION ♫
Name: Tegan
Age: 18
Gender: Female
First time or re-stamp? Never done this before.
Want to be stamped as male/female/don't care? I prefer male, but if there's a female artist I'm more like, then go for it.
. . . . . . . . .
THE USUALS
Describe good qualities or strengths in your personality: Intelligent, thoughtful, good sense of humour (although very dry and a bit twisted at times), optimistic, naive, trusting, honest, vulnerable, passionate, opinionated. I'm a bit quirky and, as some would say, eccentric. I can write expressively very well. I have a good aesthetic sense.
How about bad traits or weaknesses? Sometimes I'm too naive, trusting, honest, or vulnerable. Need to think before I speak or I say things that are ill-considered or could be taken the wrong way. When I get angry, I tend to get overly angry and jump down people's throats - vicious temper. Shy with strangers to the point of anxiety. Hard time communicating coherently with normal people - too intellectual. Sometimes I take things too hard. I'm a little bit resistant to change at times. When I like things a lot, I can get rather obsessive. Oh - and I'm very absent-minded and forgetful, which I forgot to mention originally.
What are your musical talents? At one point, I played the clarinet. I'd love to play the guitar, but am terrified of failure. I can appreciate most music, regardless of whether I enjoy it.
And what other talents do you have? Are you an amateur-photographer, astrophysicist, or a brilliant cook? Go on, brag as much as you like! Well, I can take fairly good pictures. I knit a bit. I teach acting and act a little sometimes myself, but it's not really my thing.
What are you afraid of? People who hurt me emotionally - intentionally or not - and the utter cruelty or some members of the human race towards individual of all species. Nuclear weapons and violence of all kinds.
And what makes you happy? Music, my pets (cats, dogs, birds), comedy, the kindness of others, learning things, achieving things, sharing my favourite things with like-minded people.
. . . . . . . . .
THE HARD ONES
Think of a book or a movie you identify with or that you feel describes you somehow. Feel free to go into detail: I really enjoy Robert Fulghum's philosophies on life (they're a lot like mine), so All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten is a favourite book of mine and has been for some time.
What color or colors would you use to describe your personality to others? Sort of a pale red-purple, since it's both a warm and a cool colour, which feels like me. But other people might think different things about this colour than I do, so I wouldn't describe myself in terms of colours. Bit too abstract.
About your social life: do you have many friends or just a few very close ones? Do you like parties, or prefer a quiet evening at home? Fall in love quickly or hardly ever at all? Tell us what you like: Just a few close friends. I'm not so good at approaching people, so I sometimes have a hard time making friends. I'd rather be at home cuddling with my cat than at a large party, but small parties can be nice. I fall in love perhaps too quickly and too deeply. It tends to scare people off.
Do you crave recognition and fame, or do you prefer to work behind the scenes? Some measure of each. I want to be fairly low-key, but I also want as much recognition as I can get.
What causes, if any, are important to you (animal rights, fighting poverty etc)? Animal welfare, human rights, better sex ed programs, banning smoking in public places.
. . . . . . . . .
PREFERENCES
What kind of music do you usually listen to? (Bear in mind that artists often listen to all kinds of music and not only music similar to their own) I am most intrigued by artists who aren't boxed in by genre, but I also listen to rock and roll (especially early stuff), big band, jazz, the soundtracks to musicals, some folk. I'm not particularly fond of Led Zeppelin, but I suppose I haven't heard much of their music. The artist must have a sense of humour, too. I don't like people who take things too seriously, and that applies to music too.
What qualities do you admire in other people? Generosity, compassion, honesty, kindness to animals, the ability to make others feel comfortable around them, the ability to create art of any kind.
Filling out applications can make one hungry. What's your favorite kind of food? Broccoli. Pretty much any vegetable, really. And dark chocolate, though I'll eat any sort of chocolate.
And what about the drinks? Tea or cranberry juice.
If you could travel anywhere in the world and you had to leave tomorrow morning, where would you go? Somewhere in England, maybe.
. . . . . . . . .
IF I WAS A RICH MAN
So you're a huge superstar now. Would you prefer to be in a band or do you fly solo? I'd like to be in a band. Working with others seems like it would be a good experience. Also, there's strength in numbers. I think I would do a few solo albums on the side if I really felt that I was creating music not appropriate for the group, though.
Give us a piece of lyrics from any song that you would accept in your repertory:
Because you're a sweet and lovely girl
I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely -
Girl, it's true
I'm living every moment, girl, for you
As every huge star, you also have the essentials that you MUST have in your dressing room, backstage. What are they: Tea, chocolate, internet, probably a board game like Trivial Pursuit or Tribond.
Do you like flamboyant performing costumes and big shows, or is music the main thing? The live show must be an experience. If it isn't people will just stay home and listen to the album. So, cool costumes and a bit of showmanship - as long as it doesn't compromise the quality of the music. I like cutting loose a little onstage.
. . . . . . . . .
ONE OR THE OTHER
Are you more...
OUTGOING or SHY: Depends on who I'm around. People who don't know me well are sometimes surprised when I do speak because I speak so little, but if I'm with people I'm comfortable around I can get a bit rowdy.
AGGRESSIVE or CALM: Mostly calm, I can get quite aggressive at times.
LEADER or FOLLOWER: Depends. If something is really important to me, I want to lead. If I'm unsure, I follow.
THE ONE WITH NEW IDEAS or THE ONE TO COMBINE IDEAS: Both. Using old ideas can inspire new ideas.
THE LADIES MAN/FEMME FATALE or THE BOY/GIRL NEXT DOOR: Neither, but more like the girl next door.
THE PRANKSTER or THE SERIOUS ONE: I can be either. Depends on the situation.
