First of all, please post the links to all the applications (regular OR theme) you have voted on:
http://community.livejournal.com/shrating/86919.html?view=471431#t471431The other two applications I found that were not yet stamped were Origins themed. I've never played it.
THE BASICS
01. Name: Alex.
02. Age: 20.
03. Gender: Guy.
04. Is that also the gender you would like to be stamped as? Bending ain't breaking. Doesn't bother me.
If this is a re-stamp, feel free to tell us who you were stamped as last time and in what ways you think this person does not correspond to your personality: Not applicable.
05. Likes: The color red(candy apple, sports car, fresh blood, lipstick). Raw meat(beef and salmon are my favorites), raw eggs, snakes and chameleons(pets), logic, taking things apart to understand them better. Statements that are both succinct and thought provoking. Open ends, open minds, open hearts, open doors. The potential for change in others. Touching interesting surfaces with my hands. Smelling aforementioned items. Dim lighting or no lighting(I have my window blacked out for this reason). Spending time alone, going at my own pace, when I'm not. Getting pierced and tattooed. Hands, callouses, phalluses, pillow palaces! Clutter.
06. Dislikes: Indecisiveness. Being expected to jump when someone changes their mind repeatedly. Change your mind once? Acceptable. Go back on it, irritated. Switch yet again, and your ass is grass. For this reason, I give fair warning to individuals when they first do this to me. It's up to them, to knowingly press the button again. People who believe that being observant and quiet makes me a pushover. Verbally crucifying people who shove me too hard gets exasperating, they think they can get away with it. They can't. They learn the hard way. Bright lights. Celery. Most underwear. Whining. Babies.
07. Strengths: I see patterns in things. I work to provide clarity, find answers. I'm 'inspirational' and a 'muse' unto some. People 'owe' me for 'changing' them, they say. ('You opened my world!' 'If I hadn't met you, blah blah blah' 'you fixed me!' 'you ruined me!') I'm both loved and hated for this. The thing is, I just do things. I do what I do, I exist, the things I do have consequences, good and bad. That's all. If I do something and there is a good result, it's serendipity. I remember things. I have good aim. I seek to improve.
08. Weaknesses: My 'softie' side when it comes to interpersonal relationships needs development, I hurt others by being too objective in my criticism. I am not sufficiently 'huggy'. I'm too rigid when my principles are being violated, this obstructs change. I let my appetites get the best of me sometimes, this is the primary cause for past downfalls. Occasional sadomasochistic tendencies. Symptoms of mild, onset schizophrenia, which turns people off. A lot. I try to keep it to myself 'IRL'; this leads me to feel isolated(waaah!): need to brood less. Inadvertently push people away. It's hard not to, I need space. My obsessive nature causes others to be obsessed with me.
THIS OR THAT
(Please provide a short explanation as well)
09. Optimistic or pessimistic? Neither. Realism can seem like either based on the mood/interpretation of someone else. I've been called both.
10. Leader or follower? Neither. I will lead if others are too indecisive, and I've been followed, which I suppose is leading. But I won't actively seek one or the other. 'Leading' is usually a big deal to at least one person, and I don't see any purpose in tethering them from getting their megalomaniacal jollies on. Let him/her have their fun. If the person who wishes to lead plots a course I deem illogical, I'll simply leave and pursue my own course of action.
11. Introvert or extrovert? Introvert.
12. Mature or immature? Mature.
13. Violent or peaceful? Neither. I will try to appeal to reason, if this fails and I am violated, and a pattern of repeated offenses tells me I will be violated again, then I will be violent until I am left alone.
14. Selfish or altruistic? If I 'help' someone else, then hopefully I will be helping myself.
15. Rude or polite? Politely rude.
16. Eat here or take away? Both. Order to go, eat what I can here, take what I can't.
JUMP DOWN THE HOLE
17. How do you present yourself in the company of friends? My conversational style is flanking. I communicate INTENSELY when I am one on one with someone, otherwise I prefer to speak only when I am addressed. If I wish to speak with someone, I'll wait until there is an opportunity for privacy with them.
18. And in the company of your enemies? Enemies wither away with time. If I have to stay near them, I'll be silent until I'm pressed. If my hand is forced, I'll hurt them the necessary amount for any point I may have to be ingrained. Otherwise, I'll just leave.
19. And what about the company of strangers? Slightly predatory/aggressive. If I don't know someone and I'm in unfamiliar territory, the more wary they are of me, the less wary I need to be of them. Otherwise, I'll be quiet so long as I'm not bothered.
20. How do you react to people insulting your beliefs (your faith or your opinions in general)?
I wouldn't be insulted. No one is the same. If they believe my opinion is misinformed, then I would like them to enlighten me as to why and how it should change. If they give me clarity, I'll respect them, even if I'm not properly 'indoctrinated'. I can give them clarity as to the nature of my opinion as well, and both parties leave with new information, ideally. Insight is always valuable. The fact that the minds of other human beings are different is what gives me the potential to glean from them to grow and change, myself.
21. And people insulting your loved ones? If it's within my power, likely grind the attacker down to dust. My loved ones are few and far between, I won't coddle them, but I won't allow them to be senselessly defiled, either. Did they do something stupid? Will they learn from being insulted? How badly were they hurt? If the answers are 'no', and 'a lot', the attacker must be made prone, stripped of his dignity, humiliated.
22. And what about people insulting you? Careless insults couldn't bother me any less. It's just drivel. If they're violating my core principles... There are consequences. I will explain that I am offended. It it continues, I'll barb them to let them know they're treading dangerous territory. If the time comes, annihilate them. If it's my personal space or privacy that's been violated, I'll simply backhand them across the face and go from there. Simple punishment, physical for physical. All physical consequences come with a warning from me. First offense is free. Second one will hurt.
23. Are you better at coping with physical or mental pain? Physical. Mental pain leads to physical pain. The opposite is also often true, but I find mental wounds reopen and fester and cause new damage more readily than physical ones. Physical pain can be an escape from reality. Mental pain binds you to it, or takes you somewhere worse(HAHAHA, this is an SH comm, isnt it?!).
24. Are you better at defending yourself physically or verbally? Verbally/emotionally. Rip their psychological armor away, and they have nothing. If you kill their will, defending yourself physically won't be an issue at all.
25. Do you prefer to assault people physically or verbally? I try not to 'assault' people as a general rule, without reason. Nowadays, I attack only when I'm, or loved ones(extensions of me) are attacked. If I'm attacked verbally, I'll attack verbally, same goes with physical attacks.
THE TOWN THAT TAKES ALL
26. Which Silent Hill character do you LEAST identify with and why? Laura. She's the shining jewel of naivete and youth, despite everything. In my mind, I'm caught somewhere between being a sadomasochistic creep, and a hopeful soul who tries to seek truth and beauty in everything. There's just too much dissonance and baggage for me to relate with a sweet little girl at all.
27. Time to introduce you in a CUT SCENE! Are you the protagonist or somebody they meet? If you are the protagonist, then what brought you here? If not, what will you be found doing and how will you react to meeting that other person?
In a horrible place like SILENT HILL? I would probably believe I was having an all senses hallucination(this has only happened twice), I've found that hallucinations tend to strike me as symbolic, and I interpret most of the more detailed things I 'see' as a reflection upon what I think or feel about myself and the 'real' world. If I spotted another human, I would want to learn as much about him as possible, since I'd be under the impression that he was a facet of myself. In this way, I'm not sure if I would be a protagonist or a side character, since we'd be each other. What I'm doing when he shows up depends on how long I've been there. If I've been freshly attacked, then standing in the fog with a knife out, waiting. If it's been a while, probably exhausted and laying on the ground, watching the sky(let 'em get me).
28. Will you stay alone or join somebody else as soon as possible? Reasonable human? Join. Maybe I could learn something. Psycho human? Kill or avoid.
29. Congratulations, you are now deceased! Next to your corpse, written in blood there is one sentence. What does it say? Logical: 'Don't worry, no one's coming for me; if you get desperate, you can eat this body- you'll need it.' Humorous: 'Check the rump roast in back, it's pretty sweet.' Or maybe, keep it simple: 'doooo noooot waaaaant!!!'
30. And which set of lyrics, either from a song or poem would you like us to remember you by?
I only see rainbows
now that the bandages are gone
through my window, there
from the skyscraper... down
to the submarine
bloody smiling, vandalizing,
my wet dream is drying up.
Look at these words,
like a sledgehammer, of truth
they pound the iron heart of sin~
