I always wanted to be a Tenenbaum.
About you
My name is: Sara!
Gender: Female.
Because we do respect the lj code here, are you over 13?: Yep, I am 22 and 10 months old.
How has your day been so far? (Just curious): Pretty good, thanks. I wrote and filmed myself talking about writing. Typical Sunday in the life of a nerd. How has your day been?

And what is your worst?: My obsessiveness with things is something that initially, people find cute. But then they start to reach for the straight-jacket because I can't calm down when I get like that. And I start to feel like a freak.
What do you think draws other people to you?: My passion and drive for the things that I love. And maybe my naivete about such things? I get a lot of "Aww, cute"s when I'm being serious.

Are you more...
Introverted or extroverted: Extroverted, even though I'm shy. I prefer being with people but I'm usually not the first to strike up conversation. Once, at a party, there was a me-sized hole in a wall and I went in there for a while. Then I popped out and scared people, and laughed. That was my way of starting conversation. If it's possible to be an introverted extrovert, than I am it.
Confident or shy: Confident about the things I've created, but shy about myself. I'm more comfortable being Sara: The Poster Of Comments than I am being Sara: The Girl. It's like a role I take on to avoid ridicule.
Kind or selfish: Kind. I don't do things for myself. Well, except I do eat for myself. Sometimes. But I often self-sacrifice to make my friends happy. I sometimes don't get enough sleep because I hate to leave AIM when my friends want to talk to me, for example.
Optimistic or pessimistic: Optimistic! Everything's gonna be alright! And if it isn't, we can make it better. :)
Mature or immature: Pretty immature. I hate it, but it's true.
A leader or a follower: This is tricky. I am not really a leader because I don't have the right amount of confidence for that, but I am definitely not a follower. I make my own rules/schedules/priorities. So I guess I'm a leader, with limits.
Impulsive or cautious: Impulsive when it comes to a lot of decision-making. I go with my heart and my gut and what I think is right, right then. I don't spend much time really thinking about consequences, cos that takes time!
Disorganized or systematic: Pretty disorganized. My room is nice, neat, organized chaos. I know where things are, but no one else could figure it out.
Wes Anderson
First Wes Anderson movie you saw? Did you like it then?: The Royal Tenenbaums when I was either 14 or nearly 14. Yes! I was briefly in love with Richie.
Favorite Anderson movie?: The Royal Tenenbaums. Ha haha haha.
Least favorite Anderson movie?: I'm probably gonna be stoned to death for this, but Rushmore. I don't know why. It just felt lacking in something.
Favorite character from an Anderson movie?: Right now? I have to say Chas Tenenbaum, because I actually cried real tears for him when I last watched it (last Thursday). But it changes frequently.
If you could magically become one character out of an Anderson film for one day, who would you want to be?: Oh man, that's hard. Probably Dignan. Because I like his style and his excitement about things. He'd get me to get out and do things when I'd rather just veg on the couch, writing about getting out and doing things.
Would you prefer a same gender stamp or all that's listed?: Any and all are awesome!
Anything else you feel like adding while you're at it?: When I wear my Stillerstrong headband and my big sunglasses, I look like a female Richie Tenenbaum. My sister pointed it out to me. I can't help my haircut!
