The journey starts in Konoha [re-stamp]
I've been stamped before, but that was a long time ago. I don't remember who I was originally stamped as, plus I'm pretty sure I've changed since then.
...................
THE BASICS
Name: Anne
Age: 21
Gender: F
...................
THE PERSONAL
Likes: Theatre, driving in terrible weather, Tim Roth (and subsequently, all of the Tarantino movies he's been in), Half Life 2 (and other FPS's), electronic music (house/electro to be more specific), travelling, big cities, when people laugh when you say something that you didn't intend to be funny, mushrooms, Hamlet, severe thunderstorms.
Dislikes: Running late, getting too much sleep and feeling groggy as hell, people who are intolerant and/or are willfully ignorant, procrastinating (even though I do it), getting into petty arguments that result from poor communication.
What do you feel is your best quality?: I try to be very considerate of others, but often do so at the expense of my own needs; I'm pretty good at multi-tasking; I'm good at motivating others/reading their emotions/being able to comfort and empathize with others; and I'm very adaptive-- I enjoy being in hectic situations where nothing is familiar and trying to make my way through it.
Your worst?: I don't know how to say "no" sometimes; I can be pretty lazy (when it comes to cleaning my house); I would rather do things myself than let others because I don't trust them to do it correctly.
Pet Peeves: Just look at what I wrote for "dislikes". Oh, and when other people don't check their emails as often as I think they should (and I'm expecting a response from them). And when people aren't as good at directions. Sometimes I have unfair expectations of others.
Dreams & Ambitions: Well, once I graduate from college, I plan on moving to Chicago and working in the theatre community there as a stage manager. I'd also like to travel a lot (go back to Japan and London, go to India). And I'd like to further my Japanese language studies.
Personality in 5 words or less: independent, laid-back, adventurous, determined
...................
FAVORITES
Favorite Season: Fall. I love wearing sweaters/jackets. And the smell of dead leaves is wonderful. Although I don't like that fall means it's almost winter.
Favorite Element: Earth because it's very calming; lighting because it's unpredictable.
Favorite Naruto character & why: I love Yamato (not just because I have a crush on him). He's a great mentor for Naruto and the rest of team 7, and he just seems like a really nice guy, especially considering all he's been through when he was younger.
...................
THIS OR THAT
Mature or Immature: Mature. I'm an only child and grew up around adults. I feel more comfortable talking to people older than me than I do talking to people younger than me. I've also dealt with a lot of crap in my life, so that's forced me to behave in a more mature way.
Leader or Follower: Leader. I'm good at managing people but also being friends with them. I do know when it's time to shut up and follow someone else though (as long as they are a good leader and not a total ass-hat).
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Optimistic-- though not to the point where I lose sight of reality. I'm hopeful that things will turn out all right, and if they don't, then I'll deal with it.
Impulsive or Cautious: I (usually) weigh consequences before I act.
Outgoing or Shy: Outgoing. But I don't really like small talk just for the sake of filling the silence.
Hardworking or Laid-back: Why can't I be both? I work hard when it comes to things I care about (scenic carpentry, stage managing, projects for class, etc.), but I'm pretty laid-back in my free time.
Hyper, Calm, or somewhere in-between: Generally calm. I try to keep a level head when I'm under stress and when I'm excited about something.
Modest or Bold: Modest. I'm not looking to be outspoken or controversial or to make a statement in how I dress, express myself, act toward others, etc.
Lover or Fighter: Lover. But I do like violence in videogames and movies-- the bloodier the better.

SITUATIONS
You really don't like someone and find them in a heap of trouble. Would you ignore their pleas for help or give a helping hand?: I'd help out. Regardless of whether or not I like the person, they're still a human. Besides, I'd expect someone to do the same for me if I were in a tight spot.
When the going gets tough, do you stay your ground by yourself, call for help, or run away?: I'd dig in my heels and tough it out. Of course, during the aftermath, I'd seek out others for emotional support.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting 10 minutes. What do you do?: Depends on my mood. If I've nowhere to be, I wouldn't say anything, but if I were in a hurry or if I were in a sour mood to begin with, I'd politely ask the person to move to the back of the line.
NARUTO VERSE; Naruto has been following you around all day, trying to get you to teach him a new secret move he saw you do that he thought was cool. What do you do?: I'd work with him until he got the move down. Then I'd want to practice with him and see what he can do with that new move.
NARUTO VERSE; Would you rather be attacking up close and personal, hiding far off using a type of long range attacks, or not on the battle field at all? Up close and personal.
NARUTO VERSE; Your friend has joined the "dark side" and wants you to join them. More power and money, they say. Would you join them? No way, dude. There's no amount of money or anything else that would make me join. I'd talk to my friend and try to convince them that they shouldn't join the dark side, but if they won't listen to me, that's fine. They've made their choice-- it's not my place to order them around. But, after that, I'd see them as an enemy.
...................
INSPIRATIONAL
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?: My inability to verbally express myself when I become upset/emotional.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?: Selfishness. People should be more generous with all of the things they have to offer-- food, money, time, love, understanding.
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?: Killer Bee-- he's hilarious and he's such a powerful Jinchuriki. It would be neat to see what I could do with his moves.
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the Naruto-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?: No-- it seems like there's no place for the arts in the Naruto-verse. Plus, I wouldn't want to leave behind everyone here.
