Name: Maria
Nickname: Sara, Merry
Age: 23
Birthdate: 03/01/1986
Height: 1'78 m (quite tall)
Likes: Favourite number is 9, since forever; don't know why.
My favourite type of music is punk rock, but my favourite song in all time is "Now and Then" by Blackmore's Night. I also dig japanese music (and musiciansXD)
My favourite season is spring, because the weather is nicest, and people are more cheerful too, my favoruite animals are wolfs or cats.
My favourite magical creature are vampires, and I like to dress in gothic-punk clothes .
I love films. Favourite filmakers are Steven Spielberg, both Coppolas, Fritz Lang, Hitchcock, Murnau, Lars von Trier, Tim Burton, Baz Luhrmann and the incredible freak that is Kevin SmithXD
And finally, I love books. They're my most precious possesion
Dislikes:Weak, pessimistic or dependent people. I'm probably the opposite to them, and I get very frustrated and treat them harshly without meaning to,so I try to avoid them.
-Making myths out of people and/or artists/musicians/actors/whatever. I particularly hate groupies with a burning passion, as I think almost any music style has stupid fans and a tendency toward machismo.
-Machismo and discriminaiton toward women.
Old people frustrate me to no end most of the time. Bratty kids, I want to slap. I have almost no respect for housewives under 40 years of age.
Strong Points: -Self-assuredness/steem. When times are hard and things look bad, this keeps me going. When insults or treasons are thrown at or made to me, this keeps me over everyone. It sometimes breaches the line and becomes my worst quality, but I love it for what it’s worth
-Intelligence. Whatever I am, I’m not stupid. I’m, actually, very intelligent, and been told so by many different people during all my life. I thrive on it
-Optimism. I’m not cynical, or very rarely so. Optimism is the best way to be to enjoy life to the fullest and be happy and cheerful. It makes you able to think the best of everything, and the same quality forbids you to be very sad when you are let down: tomorrow will be better ^.^
-Uniqueness. I know everyone's unique in his/her own way, but too many times people say this about/to me that I had to post it. Many people say that, though I'm a hard person to be around most of the time, for the mix between being generally good at things and knowing it "too much", they still stick around me because I have "something special", there's something about me that screams "not like others" or something like that. As an incredibly conceited person most of the time, I obviously loved itXDXDXD
Weak Points: -Arrogance. OMG, am I arrogant. And I know it, and I can’t do anything about it. I have a nice body, a sharp mind and a lot of talent at what I do. And people TELL ME. What am I supposed to think? Even so, I try to change it, since it makes my mother unhappy.
-Lazyness. This is bad, because it limits my experiences and makes it hard to work on ANYTHING. I try to change this really hard, but it’s difficult when everything’s so easy to do without doing my best.
-Naiveté. This comes from being so sheltered, and coming from a very exclusive world. This bites my ass when I try to establish romantic relationships, because I feel insecure, and that’s something I can’t stand. Trying hard to erase this one as well, but it’s proving hard.
-Harshness. I'm sometimes harsh to others, even without meaning to. I argue in a loud voice and an agressive manner, almost too agressive sometimes. I'm impatient with weak people many times, and discussing about other people's lives I often simplify things out of sheer frustration with that person
Pet Peeves: I'm a very sloppy person, and I get uneasy if things are too neat. I'm sometimes annoyed by the way people chew their food. Groupies are the most annoying people in existance. I'm obssesive about books of the same series being exactly the same length and their covers looking the same
Hobbies: -Reading. I’m such a geek. I hardly go out, and when I do, it’s usually my friends pulling. Reading has been my life for many years; I have a very high capacity to absorb and memorize everything that I read, and I do so very fast. I like complicated reads, as well as light ones. I read everything that lands on my hands except for romance (except for Jane AustenXD).
-Travelling. I LOVE to go abroad; I wouldn’t say “no” to any journey to an unknown place, and many that I have been to. It’s fascinating and you find in this a richness that’s lacking from everything else in life.
-Writing. It’s how I want to live, so I better like itXD. I love writing for the same reasons I love reading. Though it tends to make me obsessed when I’m immersed in it. I'm very good at it, too, or so I've been told
-Discussion and arguing. I love this. My mom hates itXD. I feel enthusiasm sharing my conclusions and POVs, and acquiring new ones (and information) from other people. And, as I’m a VERY hard and aggressive discussion partner, I feel a lot of power while doing it.
Talents: I'm a fast learner in anything related to History, Arts and Languages. I have an innate talent for learning different languages. I'm a fast reader and a very good writer. I'm an agressive arguer who can defend almost anything. In spite of being too conceited, people say I have a lot of charm and lead people around effortlessly
Favorite Color: Favorite color is Red. I've always been strongly attracted to that colour. Since I was a child, if I could pick any color for anything, I would pick red. It funny, because my second last name is "Rojo" which means "red" in Spanish. It's a summer color, strong, too bright, compliments dark skin rather nicely (and I have dark skin), it's a very fiery Spanish color, it attracts all the attention and can mean both very good and very bad things
Favorite Food: My favourite food is fried eggs with migas, something we do in Spain that I've never seen abroad
Favorite Sport: I'm not athletic at all. In fact, I hate sports, though I have a very good figure. If I have to say one, I'll say swimming, because it's refreshing and I'm veyrgood at it. To watch? Tennis and basketball
Mature or Immature?: ImmatureXD. No question about that. Though I'm very mature where non-romantic relationships are concerned
Leader or Follower?: Leader most of the time, but that's cause leaders don't come in millions. If I find the right person, I have no problem following him/her. It's just that I have a hard time trusting in people's abilities
Words you say would describe you: self-assured, optimistic, ambitious, arrogant, lazy, brilliant, sarcastic, naive
Favorite Sin: Lust, without a doubt
Why?: She has character development, which is more that I can say for many others. Also,she's kickass, feminine and tragic, she's strong and tough, but she also has a wicked sense of humour, she's sensitive, and her story is touching and very romantic. I love her interaction with almost everyone she interacts with
Remember to post at least 1 clear picture of yourself behind an LJ-cut (unless you aren't able to...then a description would be nice):
