I feel a Spirit Storm comin' on~
BASICS::
Name: Amanda.
Nickname: Azka.
Age: 18.
IN DEPTH::
Personality: I'm dedicated, and I'm always trying to better myself. I feel like helping people is my purpose in life. I'm indecisive and can be a little bit obsessive as well as anal-retentive. I'm very academically driven and I fear that I will be in school all my life, since I'm almost afraid of being without what's kept me driven all these years. I'm incredibly non-confrontational and forgive too much, but I tend to walk away if I see that you're not genuinely sorry. It is nearly impossible for me to be mean to those I am not incredibly close to. I can be very mothering even though I'm not the greatest around children.
Likes: I like a lot of things. I like most people, since I'm willing to give pretty much anybody the benefit of the doubt. I harbor a love for all kinds of colors, especially green and orange. I also have an unprecedented love of ducks and tea. European chocolate, psychology, satire, Clive Barker books, good slash pairings, and pointy earrings are all pretty awesome things.
Dislikes: I'm not fond of closemindedness, loud noises, artificial flavoring, most television, or jazz music... I tend to have the inclination to dislike female fictional characters, also, for some reason. I don't like many kinds of meat, especially fish or pig. I guess I'd almost be a vegetarian if I ate more vegetables. D: I only recently even started liking food at all, really... as odd as that may sound.
Strong points: I set a high standard for myself, and never seize pushing my limits. I look at a situation from every angle possible. I make people laugh, and am known for my love of helping anyone that will let me in. I'm patient, I don't let myself get caught in the moment, and always live as realistically as I can. I tend to be good at academic subjects--especially at things like math, literature, and psychology--and I have a special place in my heart for editing, for some reason. (Video and literature editing, mainly.) I also have a lot of humility/modesty, so I always take these lists from other places that I've already done this in, since it's hard for me to think of this stuff on the spot, or even admit to a lot of it...
Weak points: I'm not very domesticated at all, and I kind of hate cooking. I can be very indecisive, too passive, can have a lot of bottled-up anger from said passive problems, can sometimes be judgmental, I worry too much, and I give too many chances. I have trouble not over-complicating things, and I sometimes let myself get caught up in the beauty of tragedy. I'm not very fond of strong emotions, and oftentimes I make myself guilty if I don't think my feelings are "right." And as much as I love them, I'm not very good with kids, as I said before.
Hobbies & Talents: Internet-ing, playing video games, reading and writing on occasion, studying, and making AMV's.
Peoples' first impression of you: It really depends on the situation. I'm usually pretty friendly unless I'm in a terrible mood, but sometimes I'm too quiet, and I do a lot of listening. I'm a naturally shy person who taught myself to be social, so my quiet, analytical nature comes out when I'm not in an outgoing mood. I'll always be very polite, however. :] And I'll usually say the least about myself as possible.
Your dreams for the future: After quite a few more years of college, I plan on becoming a school psychologist. Even though I've spent most of my life completely immersed in school, I have a deep desire to start my own family. And I'm engaged, so I actually know who I will be spending the rest of my life with. :]
THIS OR THAT::
Shy or Outgoing: Completely in the middle. I do need my time alone, but I am not afraid to be friendly and talk to people. I appreciate both company and solitude.
Hyper or Calm: More calm, I suppose. But I can get hyper on occasion.
Controlled or Impulsive: Haha. Again, I waver. A lot of the time I'm pretty cautious and controlled, but I can definitely surprise when I need to blow off some steam. I kind of had to teach myself to be that way. XD
Pessimistic or Optimistic: I'm too openminded to be either of them most of the time. I can be very cynical and pessimistic when put in the right mood, but I think my inner nature is to be more optimistic.
Decisive or Indecisive: Indecisive, for sure.
Mature or Immature: Mature.
Messy or Clean: Clean.
Leader or Follower: I guess more follower than leader, but I don't really mind leadership positions anymore. I take on whatever is best for the situation.
Talkative or Quiet: Quiet, even literally. My voice doesn't carry very well. Although I am talkative at times, I always have a kind of quiet demeanor, or so I've been told.
Your Overall Personality In Three Up To Six Words: Nice, compassionate, logical, sarcastic, self-sufficient.
YUYU RELATED::
Favorite Yu Yu Hakusho Character: Hiei.
Why? I can't even... XD I don't even know. He just follows that cliche pattern that I tend to follow in liking characters: the angry, broken, misunderstood, and yet still somehow lovable male. I guess I want to help him. I'm also very drawn to Kurama and his backstory, as well as his demonic/human struggle, but "favorite" really falls to Hiei for some reason.
Least Favorite Yu Yu Hakusho Character: Mukuro and Kuronue.
Why? Both characters I dislike not even really because of their character, but because of things I feel that they falsely represent. Because I find it incredibly unrealistic that Hiei would throw a fight for Mukuro or "fall" for her like the anime portrayed he did without a LOT of time for his character to adjust to that kind of... weird Mary-Sue-type situation. That just wouldn't happen. It was sloppily done and out of character and it made me want to tear my hair out. Same thing with Kuronue, although that didn't bother me AS much because I don't even consider that movie canon, and it wasn't even made by the same people. I have a hard time believing that Kurama was truly attached that closely to anyone during his time as Yoko. He was cold, calculating, and a criminal, and his demonic nature didn't leave room for that kind of HUMAN-like emotion, even if he COULD have felt that before he became human. His relationship with Yomi made sense, as they held the same kind of grudging respect and expectancy that ex-demon partners would likely have for one another. But his relationship with Kuronue was just... weird and didn't make sense. ////super rant
Favorite episode/story arc: ...Wow, that is incredibly hard. I found the Surprised To Be Dead Arc to be very intriguing, and I wish they would have made it longer, but... I guess if I have to choose one, I'll go with the Three Kings Arc. It was interesting to see everyone go their separate ways and to watch their characters develop for their own reasons, independent of each other, even if it was a little sad. A close second would definitely be the Chapter Black Arc, though. @_@
Favorite Spirit Weapon: What would constitute as a spirit weapon? I'm not even sure... I've always been partial to healing, so let's just go with that.
LAST STRETCH::
Any preference on your stamp (such as gender, really against a certain stamp, etc?) Nope. Go wild. I don't mind being rated as a guy or anything like that. Go ahead and stamp me as Mukuro if you REALLY think that's who I'm most like. XD
Anything else?: Um... no? :] OH, this is completely random, but~ it's sacryde 's birthday in a week! Happy early birthday now so I don't forget. XD
