Here now, plebes! I demand votes!
1. Name: Bindiya, with the alternatives of Bindy, Diya, D, Tempest, That One-One Girl, and Hey Sexy. Won't answer to those last two, as fair warning. *pause* Unless you're pretty.
2. Age: 20. And a half. Gods, I feel like such a child, adding the half. But really. Six more months, and I'll never have another birthday to look forward to in my life. So let me count the half, while it matters.
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? I couldn't choose just one place. If anything, I'd want to travel the world, it's always been a dream of mine to visit every place I could...a few home bases might be nice, but until I actually go and see those places I've dreamed of for myself, I don't know if I'd want to live there or not. Plenty of places are nice to visit, but you don't want to live there. So...I guess my non-definitive answer would be 'nowhere' or 'everywhere', depending on how you looked at it.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like? Somewhere with things to entertain me. Comfortable, luxurious chairs, plenty of room for the various projects I'd no doubt be involved in, and lots of delicious foods and my favorite drinks, for when I started to wear myself thin, as I tend to do when concentrating on other things. I have short attention span, at times, and being able to jump from one thing to another with no stretch of boredom in between...you'd have a Hell of a time convincing me OUT of that room.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character? I'll probably get glares over this, but I could never stand Ron Weasley. I honestly tried to give him a chance, you'll just have to take my word on it, but from the very beginning, his entire attitude just annoyed the ever-living Hell out of me. I imagine it'd be natural to be a little jealous if your best friend was as famous as Harry is, and if you constantly had to play second banana, but...and forgive me if I go a little Jedi here...Ron's bottling it up too much. The boy is fit to burst with negative energy, and I feel like that's something the 'Dark Side' could take advantage of all too easily. He's rather dense, blatant, loudmouthed, over-emotional and awkard, and those are just the sort of people I have a hard time dealing with in my day-to-day...more than likely because I behave in almost exactly the opposite manner, and as such, it makes the person harder to understand. Why on Earth would I find that appealing in a book character?
6. Is the glass half empty or half full? Who cares? All I care about is what's in the cup, whether I'm thirsty or not, and who's cleaning the glass when I'm done with it.
7. Give us a quotation (Can be from a famous person, a song, or even a poem-whatever you want) you feel represents your life or personality. In my experiance, those that do not like you fall into two categories...the stupid, and the envious. ~The Libertine
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends? Oh gods. My friends are more of a family to me than my relations will ever be. 'Family', indeed. You never met a group of people that despised each other so much. I take care of what I feel are my obligations to my family...but they really mean very little to me, if I were to be completely honest.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory? ....I cannot remember a single event from my childhood that was in any way happy. I'm sure there were moments. There had to have been, or I'd be even -less- stable than I am now. I just can't remember any off the top of my head.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw? Can I do this question later? Ahhhh, guess not...well, that answers part of that question doesn't it? I'm huge in procrastination. I guess I hold out in the hope that someone will take care of the lesser business for me so I can continue whatever I was doing earlier. It's actually rare when someone doesn't, either out of concern that I won't do it, or exasperation with the fact that I'm getting nowhere on a certain project...which is how I can often afford to be lazy. Puppy eyes or good reasoning will get the job done just as well as getting up off my lazy arse and doing it myself, nine times out of ten. But eh...that tenth time tends to get stickly, now and again....
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.? That's a tricky one...my desire to do something semi-constructive to further my own magical prowess, not to mention showing everyone else up by having that extra experiance under my belt...versus my inherent laziness...I think I would have honestly had to actually BE in the situation to know for certain.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations. I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away. I am not the confrontational sort, and I'd just as soon have someone else handle that sort of thing for me, if at all possible. However, if it's just me...The more pressed I am for time and options, the more snappish and isolated I tend to become. I can only hold my cool for so long, like any human being. Lucky for the world, I've yet to truly reach the breaking point. Let's all hope it stays that way, ne?
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice? ...depends on which end of it I am. If we're dealing with ME, I'd rather we did the compassionate thing and let me off, for whatever it was I did. If we're dealing with someone else, I tend to side more for whatever seems 'just'. ...however, we probably shouldn't go on MY version of 'just'. Bit skewed. Generally towards whatever will give me an advantage. But everyone wants what's best for them, in the end, no matter what they say to the contrary.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul? A combination of the two. I have a side to me that refuses, absolutely REFUSES, to grow older. I have an almost child-like appreciation for new things, and I live to enjoy myself and have fun. I also have a tendency to pout or sulk when I don't get my way. However, there's also the side of me that knows it can't last, that tempers my impulsiveness, that's really just sick and tired of the world in general, that feels like I've already seen most of what the world has to offer, and is already bored with half of it. Geminis are known for their duality, and I'm your typical Gemini...I see things from both perspectives.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in? Slytherin. As if I could go anywhere else. I've got the cunning, the desire to be the best at anything I truly set myself to do, resourcefulness and adaptability, and, as Dumbledore put it, 'a certain disregard for the rules'. I -could- do well in just about any of the houses...but my heart lies with the snakes. I couldn't bring myself to root for anyone else. And I'd likely threaten that hat with unraveling if it didn't put me in Slytherin.
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
Yes, I'm a camera-whore...I'm pretty, so it's allowed. *hair toss* *smug*
