First time or re-stamp? Um, first time. -quakes-
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, confident, passionate, creative, talkative, strong-minded, wilful, loyal (fiercely so), good sense of humour (often dry/sarcastic), unusual dress sense, generous (so I'm told), rebellious, proud
How about bad traits or weaknesses? Brutally honest a lot of the time, impulsive, shy (believe it or not), moody, quick to anger, vicious and quick-tempered, obsessive (particularly over music), indecisive, easily bored, hard-headed, I wear my heart on my sleeve
What are your musical talents? I've been playing guitar and bass for two and one year respectively.
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! I like to think I'm a decent photographer, I love drawing (although I'm not much good at it), singing, writing, knitting and baking. I love baking.
What are you afraid of? Spiders, snakes, mosquitoes, horseflies... anything that flies/bites/stings, dogs. Losing friends or family.
And what makes you happy? Learning new things (I love visiting museums), history, reading, music (music is the best thing ever. Seriously.), comedy, sarcasm, playing my guitars, when a plan comes together

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: Nowhere Boy, a film by Sam Taylor-Wood. It's technically the story of John Lennon's early life, how he felt lost at school because of his family issues, but when he found music he found himself. Music is the most important thing to me at the moment, and I felt exactly the same when I heard my first AC/DC record. I picked up my friend's guitar the next day and I haven't stopped playing since.
What color or colors would you use to describe your personality to others? Green: bright, vibrant, both warm and cold at the same time. I always think of green as the colour of life.
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: I have only a couple of close friends, but I hold them incredibly dear. Hate parties, I'm far too shy for that kind of thing. And I'm very, very slow to fall in love.
Do you crave recognition and fame, or do you prefer to work behind the scenes? Both, really. I wouldn't want to be really famous - so famous that you couldn't be seen in public without being mobbed - but I'd like to be known for being a really good guitarist. That's what I aspire to be.
What causes, if any, are important to you (animal rights, fighting poverty etc)? Human rights and animal welfare. Can't think off any others of the top of my head.

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 love rock and roll music. My dad always says I was born 20 years too late, because lots of my favourite bands and artists were born in the 60's/70's/80's. I love AC/DC, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Cher, Chuck Berry, Elvis, The Who, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, The Doors, The Eagles, Oasis, Florence + The Machine, Lady Gaga, all sorts of movie soundtracks.
What qualities do you admire in other people? Generosity, compassion, honesty, the ability to make others feel comfortable around them, humour, and eccentricity.
Filling out applications can make one hungry. What's your favorite kind of food? Dark chocolate. Lemons. I like anything citrussy.
And what about the drinks? Tea. I'm such a Brit T__T
If you could travel anywhere in the world and you had to leave tomorrow morning, where would you go? Scotland. Or Ireland. Not very adventurous, but I feel like my heart's in those two places; I love their traditional music and the myths and legends their countries are steeped in. Scotland and Ireland are such beautiful places <3

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'm in a band. I'd go crazy if I was on my own; I'd need my friends to hold me up.
Give us a piece of lyrics from any song that you would accept in your repertory:
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough; I've seen the toughest around.
And I know, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.
As every huge star, you also have the essentials that you MUST have in your dressing room, backstage. What are they: Tea, chocolate, internet, a decent collection of books. I get bored easily, but a good book is a fail-safe distraction.
Do you like flamboyant performing costumes and big shows, or is music the main thing? Music is the important thing. You don't need tons of pyro or hydraulic stages or wild costumes or makeup to make good music; you just need your friends behind you, decent rigging/amps/instruments and somebody to play for.

ONE OR THE OTHER
Are you more...
OUTGOING or SHY: That depends. Shy around new people or those I'm not particularly familiar with, but I can get unbelievably rowdy with my best friends.
AGGRESSIVE or CALM: Mostly pretty calm, although it's not hard to get me angry. Thankfully my temper also burns out fast.
LEADER or FOLLOWER: I like to be a leader, but I'll follow my friends and those I trust to the ends of the earth.
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: I suppose the girl next door, although there's elements of both.
THE PRANKSTER or THE SERIOUS ONE: I'm all for practical jokes, but I'm more often pretty serious.
