ABOUT;
Name: Merci
Nickname: Merci, Caro
Age: 27
Gender: F
BASICS;
Likes: Writing, writing, more writing, reading, chatting with my friends, writing some more, feeling happy and secure, interesting conversations, learning new things, not having any worries, time to myself, thinking, daydreaming, anime, writing some more, animals, star trek, yaoi, my friends (as opposed to OTHER people's friends ^_^), British comedy, dry wit, helping my friends (finding information, giving advice, offering a shoulder to cry on, or moving a body to a new house), being empathetic (I can sense other people's moods fairly accurately this helps with how I interact with them)
Dislikes: being dismissed and/or spoken to in a condescending manner, people who are insensitive and treat others poorly out of ignorance, ignorant hatered, people who (try) to manipulate me, users, not having any money, being judged, people who piss and moan about their problems but don't actually want or try to do anything to help themselves, people who ask for help/advice and then ignore all my hard work after I spend a few hours with them trying to help, being empathetic (I pick up on other people's vibes and if they're negative, then my mood goes right down the tubes)
Strengths: thoughtful, strong, witty (can make people crack a smile once in a while), creative, a good advisor
Weaknesses: I'm a sap for a sob story (I want to help people <--- influenced by empathy), perfectionist, I have a real tough time connecting to my own emotions (I can see something truly horrible and think callous things, or see Christmas and just get bored with it all.)
Hobbies & talents: Writing, running, I can drive in city traffic and not get stressed (that's a talent, NOT a hobby ^_~)
Pet peeves: people who cut down others to make themselves feel important, people who are FAKE when they talk to you
FAVORITES;
Color: Blue... though GREEN is starting to win out
Animal: I... don't really have ONE in particular. I like all animals, but nothing really jumps out at me so I can't honestly say...
Season: Fall (not too hot, not too cool and pretty colours to boot!)
THIS OR THAT;
Mature or immature? Mature to get through life, though I have a very strong immature streak when I get going with a couple really, really close friends. There's nothing stopping us from sitting in a public place and giggling like FREAKS over random commentary
Introverted or extroverted? Introverted - I absolutely 100% need some space to myself every day to just collect my thoughts. (I was on a trip where I didn't get ANY time to myself and... I started to withdraw and live inside my head. It was a bit weird.)
Leader or follower? Alone; leader. With others; follower (but ONLY if I have faith in the competence of the leader and agree with where we're going)
Generous or selfish? About 75% generous... maybe more, I'm not very selfish so I'm not going to be greedy and take all the percentage. Seriously, though, I like helping people however I can, so... that's why I say this.
Hate or honor? Hate is such a poisonous emotion. It just fills you full of negativity and you attract more and more and in the end... it's such a waste of energy since the only person that is hurt is the one who is hating (not the hated). Honour is far more positive and beneficial to all parties involved.
Fight or flee? Depends on circumstances: if I'm the ony one protecting, say, a village, then I'll fight (presumably I've been hired to protect it, or I'm a member of the village. Either way, I'm fighting), but if I'm, say, walking down the street by myself and 2 guys come out at me... well, there's no real point in me risking my life for myself if there's a clean route of escape, right? I think this would lead back to the honour question above... and my need to help people. I do, however, have a bit of an aggressive (lol, a BIT?) streak, so if I'm caught in the right mood, it's FIGHTFIGHTFIGHT!
WHATS AND WHYS;
What are your goals and dreams? Why? Goal: graduate school without failing too badly. Dream: to somehow get involved in a writing project that would find it's way to publication or some sort of print. I have so many stories inside me that I'd love to get one out there to infect the imaginations of others. Whoo!
Who's your favorite character and why? I like Mugen because he's gritty and aggressive, just down to earth and not afraid to tell people wtf he thinks. (I have a hard time doing this myself, since I can pick up on how it affects them.) Aaaaaand, Sara, because she really is the whole package of what I like in a woman; independent, smart, she's preceptive and the way she fights is just something I could watch all the time. Her fights in the rain were by-far my favourite ones.
Who's your least favorite character and why? Uh, that'd probably be Niwa Kazunosuke & Tatsunoshin. They just seemed really annoying to me. Obnoxious and in your face and completely superfluous to the series.
OTHER;
Anything else? I like crunching my toes in patterns that correspond with geometric shapes in reality. Eg. a tv screen, each flat side of it's frame is crunched as are the corners. I've been doing it since I can remember (age 3??) and it's a great source of comfort while in unfamiliar situations.
