Can YOU see Haruhi with Tamaki 24/7?
1. Name: Melanie.
2. Nickname: Offline: Mel, Wormtail, Pye. Online: Greenie.
3. Age: Nineteen.
4. Likes: Sometimes I feel like I have great love for the whole world, and everything in it. But if I left that as my response, it would negate the point of answering the "Dislikes" question. Anyway. I like lots of things, far too many to list hear. Music, first and foremost, music defines my life. Violent indie films. Really expensive good food, especially Japanese. Co-incidences. Colours. People with more wit, talent and intelligence than I have. :D Smileys. :D The internet - it's amazing. Grammar. Writing, in fact! Talking, I talk a lot. My best friends, who I would be nothing without. The fact that we exist at all. I am generally in awe of stuff like the human body and the solar system etc. Philosophical debate. Astrology, though I don't believe it. People in general. Just. Humanity is awful, but people can be kind of amazing.
5. Dislikes: The destruction of our environment. Homophobia, racism, and other flights of ignorance. Religion. Heights! Cockroaches!!! Red meats. Boring people. Class division. Netspeak. Feeling stupid. People who dismiss things wihtout trying them first. American rap. Vulgarity. Most flash animations. Network television (I tend to watch shows on DVD or download them.) Uh, this is getting harder and harder. Lists of things I dislike, I suppose. :))
6. Strengths: I can see both sides of a situation, person or argument. I am open-minded and try not to judge people. I am very good with words and body language, and can express myself in a conversation or argument quite clearly. I am incredibly imaginative, and love to create. I am intelligent but do not let my intelligence define me, and I try not to make others feel inferior to me. I have an excellent memory, particularly for people's names, hobbies, strengths, weaknesses, appearance etc. I find lots of different things funny, from slasptick to sarcasm. I am independant and do not let social norms and expectations define me. I'm confident in my body and sexuality.
7. Weaknesses: I tend to be very self-critical, overanalysing all my thoughts and emotions and work. I am also quietly criticial of other people. I can be very hypocritical about others' weaknesses, as well. I often don't think before I speak, and can hurt people easily, or make a fool of myself. I am not very good at revealing true emotions, particularly anger or upset. I berate myself too harshly for silly mistakes. I am indecisive. I am lazy - I have great ambitions that I will probably never achieve.
8. Talents: Writing. Acting. Singing. Critical thought. Debate. Kissing. Interior design.
9. Hobbies: Reading, reading, reading. I read plenty of books, and occasionally fanfiction. Roleplaying, online and offline, especially Vampire the Masquerade. Watching anime~! Livejournal and the internet. Watching films (I'd like to be a film critic one day.) Graphic design and coding. Cooking. Spending time talking with friends. Going clubbing. Smoking (I'm trying to quite, I swear.) Performing in musicals. Learning the keyboard. Computer games, sometimes.
10. What's your personality in three adjectives: Eccentric. Contradictary. Human.
11. Favorite Color: Metallic lime green.
12. Favorite Animal: Giraffes in the abstract, filled with gentle beauty and grace, however my favourite animal is my pale Laborador Retriever, Barney
13. Favorite Food: Rice, asian green vegetables, fish and tofu in pretty much any combination. Sashimi especially.
14. Favorite Quote: "We learn only from history that we learn nothing from history." - George Bernard Shaw.
"You can find work and sort your life out anytime. The pub closes in five hours." - Bernard Black.
15. Favorite Host Club Character: Tamaki-san, whose whole-hearted passions and innocence are adorable. I do have a soft spot for Kyouya, however, but moreso in the manga than the anime.
16. Other Non-Host Club Favorite Characters: Severus Snape and Peter Pettigrew (Harry Potter), Crowley (Good Omens), Soubi (Loveless), Light and L (Death Note), Warren Mears (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), V (V for Vendetta), Bernard Black (Black Books), Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl), Dream (Sandman), Kaworu (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Magneto and Mystique (X-Men), Tyler Durden (Fight Club).
17. Are you Mature or Immature: I am mature for my age, however I have the ability to let go and be completely immature, especially around little kids.
18. Are you a Leader or Follower: I am definitely a leader, though I am willing to listen to other people and obey thir wishes.
19. Are you Optimistic or Pessimistic?: I would say optimistic, because I can generally see the good in any situation and person. I don't delude myself, however, and people who don't know me very well might think I'm a bit of a pessemist.
20. Are you Outgoing or Shy: I am very shy, but I overcompensate and so appear very outgoing. I am nervous about interacting with new people so I tend to come off as loud. I am very outgoing and crazy among those I know well.
21. Pictures:
These were taken a couple of months ago, just after I'd gotten my hair done. I've just dyed it black, however, so I can be Harry Potter for Hallowe'en.
Generally I wear black with band t-shirts - it's not that I'm a goth, it's just than pretty much everything I own is black, except the formal stuff. That outfit there is my "oh crap I have to go see my grandmother" outfit. ;D I do love the homeless-person!coat, though.
22. Anything else: This is lengthy - my apologies. Also. Shoutout to daisy_2261, Padfoot to my Wormtail, and shorelle. ♥~!
