Are you more...
Introverted or extroverted: Introverted, though I can be very friendly. I just can't handle big groups for very long, I need to be alone.

Kind or selfish: Kind.
Optimistic or pessimistic: Optimistic, or better yet, idealistic.
Mature or immature: Mature if I have to be, but I have a very silly side.
A leader or a follower: A modest leader, but really I’m more of a loner. I wouldn’t follow blindly but I’d have no problem complying with a competent leader. Or co-leading with someone, whatever works.
Impulsive or cautious: Always impulsive.
Disorganized or systematic: Organized in my own, messy way. I know where everything is in my room, for instance, but no one else would be able to look past the mess.
Wes Anderson
First Wes Anderson movie you saw? Did you like it then?: I first saw The Darjeeling Limited and absolutely fell in love. I was thrilled at finding a director who shared my sense of humor completely. And the soundtrack, ohmygod.
Favorite Anderson movie?: This one's tough. It's either The Royal Tenenbaums, which i have and will watch twice in one day, or The Darjeeling Limited. Rushmore comes in at a VERY close second; I've only seen it once, so I probably like it more than I think. And Fantastic Mr. Fox was amazing. I can't choose one. :/
Least favorite Anderson movie?: Well I haven't seen Bottle Rocket yet. So I'll cheat and choose that.
Favorite character from an Anderson movie?: Either Max Fischer or Richie Tenenbaum.
If you could magically become one character out of an Anderson film for one day, who would you want to be?: Max Fischer. I love that kid so much. If only I had his motivation!
Would you prefer a same gender stamp or all that's listed?: All that's listed, please!
Anything else you feel like adding while you're at it?: I'm an INFP if that helps anyone. Very happy this community was made. And thanks for reading and voting!
