Your Personality
How would you describe yourself?
To myself, I seem like the mother figure of my friends. Whenever we go camping or they come over to spend the night, I will always cook them up supper and bake assorted goods for them whenever the holidays are coming up. At football games, if they are cold I will go to the concession stands to get them a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. I am also there to always be a shoulder to cry on and make sure my loved ones get home safely. Also, I tend to come off rather shy to people I first meet, making me socially awkward. I am hardworking, often doing my share at animal shelters and helping out an older lady named Beatrice with her strawberry field. I am hardworking (especially outside of school) and try to make things remain the way they are, even if it means helping my friends clean their rooms. I just do it on impulse.
How would others describe you?
My friends tend to say that I'm housewife material, the type that men would dream of having for a wife because I bake wonderfully and manage to cook something with whatever is in the fridge. Yet, they say that I'm innocent and way too much of a sweetheart for my own good. We are a tight knit group of friends and even when we were little and played house, I would always be the mother.
What are you passionate about? Rather, what are some things you enjoy? I enjoy baking, to be honest. I'd love to be on the Food Network show Ace of Cakes when I get older. I also enjoy children and I do hope to have a family (or even be a single mother) when I'm older. The only reason I took a librarian job was to get more in touch with children. Alas, my job entitles that I read and interact with them and if it wasn't for that then I would not take that job even if I'd love to work at a library.
What are some things that get on your nerves? What could you do without? A few things are when people gossip and backstab each other. I hate watching people who were once friends go at each other's necks. Also, when my loved ones are hurt (physically and emotionally). I hate seeing them hurt and it pains me also.
Do you have any talents? What are you good at? I am skilled at baking and ballet. My nana taught me how to bake when I was five and was estatic when I got my easy bake oven for Christmas. It wasn't until I was ten that I started baking with a real oven. I've also been in ballet for ten years and this upcoming year will be my eleventh year in it. I joined it when I was seven years old.
What are you not so good at? Probably socializing with people outside my group of friends because I was never good at talking to strangers in case they found me strange or awkward. I also find it difficult at times to express my emotions when taking care of my own friend's problems.
Relationships
What do you look for in a significant other? Physically? Mentally? I don't really care too much about looks as long as they are intelligent, polite, serious when needing to be, loyal, trustworthy and willing to start a family. My significant other is bound to be somebody that I have known for a while and has a fondness for homecooked meals and prefers having pets around the house.
"Love" -- how do you look at it? I believe in love and I have fallen (in and out) for men numerous times but I have not dated nor had a boyfriend or got kissed yet. I think that it can happen but I don't believe in soulmates or finding your significant other on dating sites. I think that as long as you look, the person has got to be out there.
How do you feel about cheating? Have you ever considered it? I don't like it because I've seen one of my best friends suffer through it and she seemed torn apart so I have never considered it.
How do you view friendship? Friendship is very important to me. I don't judge my friends based on their outer appearance but what they are like on the inside. I only have three close friends and I believe that we will remain close friends even when we are old and grey. We are one small family, always there for each other whenever we can be. We even kiss each other without intimacy..just like a close family. We pretty much do everything together like visit each other's family and go on vacation together.
Given a choice, would you prefer many acquaintances or few friends? Few friends.
Concerning friends, could you leave them to pursue your goals and dreams? Yes. If they have dreams of their own that they'd want to follow, I would try to make them also follow their dreams if it came to that. We would still be friends even if we are miles apart; I'd still make time to visit them whenever I possibly could. They mean a lot to me and if I left them for my goals and dreams, I surely wouldn't let them slip through my fingers.
Are you more faithful or more cynical of others? I'm more faithful of others, to be honest.
Other Stuff
A picture is optional, but what of your looks?
If you were in a band, who else would be in it? What instrument would you play? Why? I'd probably just be a fan since most of the instruments I play are made for orchestras. Though it would be nice to use my voice to sing in order to let my emotions out through music though I'm not much of a singer. There would probably be a few talented people that I knew. It would be fun to have a punk rock band with a drummer, bassist, guitarist and singer but I'd let the musicians play what instruments they wanted to play as long as they sounded well.
At a live show... What kind of fan are you? A wallflower? Part of the mosh pit? I'm a wallflower who enjoys soaking up the music and it's emotion.
Could you sum up who you are in a single song?
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
What are (some of) your favorite lyrics?
I chose this song because I am a child at heart and I have always liked this song when I first watched Beauty and the Best.
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
