Probably red for boldness or black for my darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/b&gt; I like movies,music,tv shows that promote strong female characters.

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Artemis&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 21&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Location:&lt;/b&gt; New Zealand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Paganism, swimming, reading, writing, sleeping, watching anime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Spiders, broken promises, soap operas, drama queens, bitchiness, extremism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; I'm always organised about things and don't procrastinate, I'm usually emotionally self-controlled, I'm fairly open-minded, and I'm pretty multi-faceted, so I can at least come across as being many different things depending on what the situation calls for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Impatience is my worst point (I don't mean impatience over waiting in line or anything; it's more to do with me. If I want something bigger, like a change in how well I can do a task, I want to be better at it -now- despite knowing that it does in fact take not only hard work but also time). I'm also moody and can be shy when it comes to people I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Same as in 'likes', really - swimming, reading, writing, anime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fears:&lt;/b&gt; Spiders. But on a deeper level, I fear not growing to be a strong person, and that I'll fall short of my own expectations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite book(s)?&lt;/b&gt; Anything at all by Sherryl Jordan, The Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier, and the Otori trilogy by Lian Hearn. Basically, I go for the fantasy and historical fiction genre when it comes to novels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite movie?&lt;/b&gt; The Lord of the Rings, The Last Samurai, Sin City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote?&lt;/b&gt; "Know Thyself." I know it's something that so many people say, but I think that there' a lot more to it than knowing basic stuff about yourself like what you like and dislike. Really knowing yourself - what actually fundamentally makes you tick - is the work of a lifetime, but I believe it's also one of the keys to life itself, so to speak. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do you want to die?:&lt;/b&gt; Hopefully in a relatively peaceful way. I'd like to think that when the time comes, it wouldn't bother me so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any special talents?&lt;/b&gt; Swimming would be my main talent, as I've been swimming competitively since a young age. And writing I suppose, although that depends on what people like to read.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;In your group of friends, where do you stand (leader... follower... comic relief... etc):&lt;/b&gt; I'm more of a follower, although I can also be a bit of a loner. I go along with whatever goes on, and if there's something I don't like or wan to do, I just absent myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When you imagine yourself ten or fifteen years down the road, what do you see yourself doing:&lt;/b&gt; I don't know. But that's the fun part, to some extent. I know what I want to have done in that time (completed my PhD, traveled some, maybe had a kid), but I don't know what I'll actually be doing at the end of all that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which is more important to you? Love, or duty:&lt;/b&gt; I think the two can go quite nicely hand in hand. But if I have to go with one, I'll pick duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/b&gt; Deep blue, or black. I'm not a particularly loud personality, so it would have to be a darker or cooler colour. And blue is a watery colour, which would also suit me just fine. Or black might do, since I've been told I'm a hard person to figure out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/b&gt; I don't think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post at least two clear pictures of yourself:&lt;/b&gt; I'll describe myself if that's okay, as I don't have any current photos that I'd feel comfortable posting. I'm tall(ish) at 5'10"/177cm, and slim and tan from all the outdoor swimming training that I do. I have straight, dark brown hair (dyed from the original blonde) that I'm growing long, and bluey-green eyes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;/b&gt; I prefer smaller gatherings to larger parties. So something more casual and fun, with people around that I actually know and like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/b&gt; Intelligent, witty, self-aware, curious, stable, cool-headed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your style:&lt;/b&gt; Simple and tidy. I don't go for lots of flashy colours or heaps of jewelery or anything, but I do like to look good and show off my femininity in more understated ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&lt;/b&gt; My immediate goal is to finish up my current Honours year at University and go on to complete my PhD. And my overall dream is to become a strong person; independent, self-reliant and confident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?&lt;/b&gt; I don't really have one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimistic. My outlook on life isn't necessarily negative, but I tend to be fairly cynical regarding people in general. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy?&lt;/b&gt; Shy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words:&lt;/b&gt; Self-contained, self-aware, controlled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Character and why:&lt;/b&gt; Alec. At first I didn't like him at all, but he really grew on me after a while, especially as Max grew darker and more sullen (understandably). He's intelligent, which I always like. He's more complicated than he looks, which I also like - I prefer characters where what you see isn't necessarily what you get. And he makes me laugh, which is always a bonus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Episode:&lt;/b&gt; C.R.E.A.M was pretty good because Max got to kick arse in a black-market casino. I also really enjoyed the beginning episodes of the second season, because Alec made his appearances in some pretty cool ways. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&lt;/b&gt; This one by Normal cracked me up:"Well, well, well . . . so far, your moron colleagues have come up with the following excuses for why you're strolling in here at the crack of noon - you had a dental emergency, your aunt died . . . again, and my personal favorite from this idiot - you were detained by the sector police for practicing witchcraft. Now, would you care to further insult my intelligence?" And there's another quote where a steelhead says is talking to Alec: "What's a poofter like you need with five hundred bucks, anyway, eh?" Alec replies in an awesome British accent: "Actually, I need it for a ride on your mum."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your political standing?&lt;/b&gt; Liberal, I guess. Pro-abortion, anti-war, etc. I don't like politics much, but I can't stand ultra-conservatism and extreme right politics. I have a problem with anything extremist though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?&lt;/b&gt; New Zealand isn't big on social classes, so I can't really say. It's one of those things I need to experience in order to have any strong opinion on.&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Arabella, but most people call me Bella&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 23&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Location:&lt;/b&gt; Washington State&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Passion, kindness, intelligence, challenges, music, comedy, travel, wit, sarcasm, originality  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Ignorance, intolerance, violence, thoughtless words and actions, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Adventurous, optimistic, generous, good sense of humor, creative&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Indecisiveness, insecurity, procrastination, avoidance issues&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt;  Music, of all kinds. I sing and play piano. Astronomy and mythology are so fascinating, they're hobbies of mine. I'm a bibliophile, reading everything I can get my hands on. I also write, both fiction and music. I've tried and love both photography and drawing, though I'm not so great at the latter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fears:&lt;/b&gt; Something happening to the people I care about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite book(s)?&lt;/b&gt; The complete poetry of Maya Angelou&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite movie?&lt;/b&gt; The Boondock Saints if I can only choose one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;em&gt;I am a lioness&lt;br /&gt;And my body will be no mans resting place.&lt;br /&gt;But should I consent&lt;br /&gt;I will never yield to a dog,&lt;br /&gt;And Oh! the lions I have turned away.&lt;br /&gt;-Aisha Bint Ahmad&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do you want to die?:&lt;/b&gt; In a blaze of glory!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any special talents?&lt;/b&gt; Other than music? I'm artistic, creative, and oddly double jointed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In your group of friends, where do you stand (leader... follower... comic relief... etc):&lt;/b&gt; It depends. I hate to say my circle of friends has a leader at all, but I am the one who is both there to motivate the group into doing things they never would try before or giving advice. I suppose I step and take the position of leader when the situation demands it and when it doesn't I can step back. So Leader/2ICish?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When you imagine yourself ten or fifteen years down the road, what do you see yourself doing:&lt;/b&gt; I have &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; idea. I love to sing, hope to do it, because if it's a job, I want something I can be happy with for the majority of my life. But honestly? Things change so much, and curve balls are so often thrown my way, I don't make plans that far ahead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which is more important to you? Love, or duty:&lt;/b&gt; Love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/b&gt; Blue-green. It's the best of both colors, but still deep, intense, and beautiful. You're never sure what you're looking at. A mystery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please post at least two clear pictures of yourself: Posting those are too invasive for me, I like a degree of privacy...not to mention my camera is at my sister's house right now. I'm about 5'9, dirty blonde, hazel eyes and am proud of my lips :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Questions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;/b&gt; Loud, fast, fun, lots of people, and doesn't stop just because it's sunrise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/b&gt; Someone you have an intense connection to, and I'm a sucker for the bad boy. A fun personality and sarcasm are must haves, along with someone I can have an actual intelligent conversation with. I love a guy who is affectionate, passionate. Part of the reason they're listed in my likes, I like them in a person.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Describe your style:&lt;/b&gt; Comfortable, usually dark colors and jewel tones, but I do love pink and cool jewelery. I can be really girly that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&lt;/b&gt; I'd like to sing, but like I said, I don't look that far ahead. Whatever it is, I want to happy with what I'm doing. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?&lt;/b&gt; I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Optimistic&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy?&lt;/b&gt; More outgoing than shy, but I have my moments.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words:&lt;/b&gt; Sweet, vivacious, headstrong&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Character and why:&lt;/b&gt; Max because she's smart, strong, sexy, funny and drives a ninja, or Logan because he's gorgeous, smart, and dedicated to bringing down the corrupt. Please don't make me choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Episode:&lt;/b&gt; Blah Blah, Woof Woof&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&lt;/b&gt; LOGAN: Oh. So . . .what, you liked it 'cause it was shiny?&lt;br /&gt;MAX: No, because it's the Egyptian goddess Bast, the goddess who comprehends all goddesses, eye of Ra, protector, avenger, destroyer, giver of life who lives forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opinions, etc.&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your political standing?&lt;/b&gt; Liberal I suppose. The government was created to aid the people yes, but it is run &lt;em&gt;by&lt;/em&gt; people, fallible and corruptible in that degree of power.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?&lt;/b&gt; The entire social class system is terrible and unjust.</content>

"I tried to be someone else but nothing seemed to change.&amp;nbsp; I know now, this is who I really am inside.&amp;nbsp; Finally found myself, fighting for a chance.&amp;nbsp; I know now, this is who I really am."-"The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you want to die?:&lt;/strong&gt; In my sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have any special talents?: Writing, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In your group of friends, where do you stand (leader... follower... comic relief... etc):&lt;/strong&gt; I'm sort of the seemingly quiet one.&amp;nbsp; Like, on the surface I'm pretty quiet, but once I'm comfortable enough people I get really talkative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When you imagine yourself ten or fifteen years down the road, what do you see yourself doing:&lt;/strong&gt; Working a 9-5 job that hopefully has something to do with my passions.....like maybe teaching high school english or working in a publishing house, and writing poems and stories on the weekends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which is more important to you? Love, or duty:&lt;/strong&gt; Love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/strong&gt; Probably blue, because its a very calm color, and I tend to be pretty calm and serene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/strong&gt; Nothing I can think of at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please post at least two clear pictures of yourself: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="225" alt="" width="300" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/BeckyHelene/personal%20pics/untitl.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img height="225" alt="" width="300" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/BeckyHelene/personal%20pics/untitled.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img height="225" alt="" width="300" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/BeckyHelene/personal%20pics/untitle.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Questions&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;/strong&gt; A casual get together with friends involving some music, some drinks, and lots of conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/strong&gt; Artistic in some form (musician, writer, artist, etc etc), intelligent, caring, tall (well, not necisarily like Shaq or anything, just taller than me........which isn't that hard, heh,) compassionate and opinnionated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your style:&lt;strong&gt; I have a pretty laid back style.&amp;nbsp; My style really revolves around jeans and differant types of tops.&amp;nbsp; I do regular shirts on normal days and cute funky tops when I'm feeling especially cute and want to look nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&lt;/strong&gt; I want to be a published writer and maybe someday reach like Stephen King or J.K. Rowlings type of recognition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?: I don't think I have a motto.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/strong&gt; I try to be optimistic, but sometimes pessimistic thoughts kind of creep in.&amp;nbsp; So, I think I'm somewhere in the middle.......or maybe optimisitc laced with a little pessimism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy?&lt;/strong&gt; Shy, definately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words:&lt;/strong&gt; caring, loyal, nice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Character and why:&lt;/strong&gt; Max.&amp;nbsp; She's just so sassy and cares so much about those close to her.&amp;nbsp; Plus she kicks some serious ass, which is cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Episode: I've got two favs-Red because it shows Max really going out there to protect her friend and &lt;/strong&gt;Art Attack, I thought it was funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&lt;/strong&gt; "I had to have radical emergency amateur brain surgery to remove a nanochip from my cerebellum before I stroked from a neurochemical overload." Max to Normal in Red.&amp;nbsp; Her delivery of that line was just so hilarious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Opinions, etc.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your political standing?: Liberal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?: I think they're stupid and&amp;nbsp;obsolete.&amp;nbsp; A person can't be judged by how much money they might have.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A person's worth and character is decided by&amp;nbsp;what's inside their heart, not by what's in their bank account.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Love, or duty:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;i think fulfilling your duty is important, and sometimes that defies love. but a lot of times, love is the reason why you need to fulfill your duties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;black because it's so bold a color, it shows great strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;that i'm not a very opinionated person, but if i do feel a certain way about something, i'm not afraid to put my ideas forward.&lt;br /&gt;Please post at least two clear pictures of yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img height="255" width="200" alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/mcfreaky/P1010031-11.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; &lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/mcfreaky/P1010005.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questions&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;i'm not big in the party scene, but just a couple of friend chillaxing is usually pretty awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;someone who makes up for my flaws, someone who's honesty and definately funny because without humor, there really is no point to life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your style:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;hahah, that's a tough one. i'm pretty hybrid when it comes to clothes - i wear whatever i like. there really aren't very many rules to what i wear except that it has to be very comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;i dream of becoming a doctor. plain and simple, i only see myself doing that one thing and nothing else. i don't even know what i'd do if i ever changed my mind...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;my motto is pretty simple: i will not lose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;i'd say i'm more optimistic, but in a rational sense. i'm not at all the dreamer-type, but i do believe that life isn't out to be a bitch. things work out for the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;i'm more outgoing than shy, but i tend to be shy around a lot of new people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;enthusiastic, ambitious, and realistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Character and why:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;i like original cindy because she's just a downright loyal friend to max. original cindy is also pretty hilarious, but more than anything, she'll always have max's back despite whatever danger they may be in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Episode:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;that's a tough one. i really liked all of the episodes from season one, but just yesterday, i was rewatching season two and i remembered how much "the berrisford agenda" stuck out to me in that season. it was so heartfelt. we finally get to MEET the real alec and what he's been through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;funny how the cut is called "hope is for losers" because my favorite quote was that one. i remember rewatching the pilot in that very beginning part because that quote pretty much summarized the entire show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Opinions, etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;i wish they never cancelled "dark angel" but i guess the season two couldn't really live up to the amazingness of season one. maybe someday, they'll bring it back, but until then, i have the DVDs to rely on. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your political standing?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;i don't follow any one party, but i learn towards more moderate standings. i don't believe in very liberal ideas, and i don't believe in very conservative ideas. i don't think any extreme can help better the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your opinion on social classes? &lt;/strong&gt;it's unnecessary, but it exists. there's no way to control the wealth and the classes in the world, but if we were to get rid of it all, then we'd become socialists and that would just be weird. it's there for a reason, i guess, to keep the delicate balance of the earth.&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Sirené&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Location:&lt;/b&gt; Houston, TX &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; art, music, water, the ocean, beaches, islands, tropical locations, traveling, animals, children, learning foreign languages, culture&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; ignorance, inconsiderate people, hate, unnecessary violence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; calm/level-headed, kind, compassionate, open-minded&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; quiet, sometimes too introspective, secretive, too mistrustful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; drawing, painting, playing the piano/violin, singing, writing, reading, swimming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fears:&lt;/b&gt; rejection, failure, losing the people I love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite book(s)?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;The Snow Queen Cycle&lt;/i&gt; by Joan D. Vinge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite movie?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Amadeus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote?&lt;/b&gt; "The most beautiful thing we can experience is that which is mysterious." - Albert Einstein&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do you want to die?:&lt;/b&gt; As painlessly as possible, preferrably. It's not something I give much thought to, though, so I don't have any specific way I want to die. That's kind of depressing to think about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any special talents?&lt;/b&gt; Mainly in art and music. I've been playing the piano since I was two and I've been drawing longer than I can remember.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;In your group of friends, where do you stand (leader... follower... comic relief... etc):&lt;/b&gt; Um. Well, I'm not really a leader or follower - it more depends on what is needed for the particular situation. I guess I would say I'm the peacemaker of a group. I'm often told that I have a very calming influence on people and I can usually help people put aside their differences and compromise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When you imagine yourself ten or fifteen years down the road, what do you see yourself doing:&lt;/b&gt; Who knows? I really don't think that far ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which is more important to you? Love, or duty:&lt;/b&gt; Love, although in a way, I also consider that a duty. If you really love someone - or wait, let me phrase that differently. When &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; love someone, I consider it my responsibility to do whatever I can to ensure their happiness and well-being, and that comes before everything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/b&gt; Definitely turquoise. Blue is a very calm and peaceful colour, but I think the addition of green in the colour turquoise adds a bit of vibrance that blue seems to lack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/b&gt; Well... not that I can think of?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post at least two clear pictures of yourself:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/michirukaiou/gaia-neri.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For larger images, click here: [&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/michirukaiou/michiru-highschool.jpg"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;] [&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/michirukaiou/michiru-swimming2.jpg"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;] [&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/michirukaiou/michiru-august2004ish.jpg"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;] [&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/michirukaiou/michiru-eye.jpg"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;] [&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/michirukaiou/michiru-current1.jpg"&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;] [&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/michirukaiou/michiru-current2.jpg"&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Questions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;/b&gt; I'm not into parties, honestly. I don't particularly care for crowds or noisy places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/b&gt; Outgoing, laidback, good sense of humour, honest, caring&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your style:&lt;/b&gt; Usually something between dressy and casual. I wear a lot of black, white, and blue/blue-green.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&lt;/b&gt; I'm currently attending school, majoring in Interactive Media Design. I hope to become a web designer or coder. Other than that... nothing much. Or at least, nothing I feel like sharing. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?&lt;/b&gt; Nothing comes to mind, sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Definitely more optmistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy?&lt;/b&gt; More shy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words:&lt;/b&gt; calm, quiet, kind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Character and why:&lt;/b&gt; Alec. I'm terribly biased because Jensen Ackles is one of my favourite actors (and he's the reason I decided to watch the show), but I honestly think he would be my favourite character, anyway. He's such an entertaining character, but there's also much more to him than you realize initially. He's very interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Episode:&lt;/b&gt; The Berrisford Agenda (season 2, episode 11)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&lt;/b&gt; Many of Alec's lines make me laugh - usually ones that are directed either torwards Max or Logan. Although, as for one favourite quote in particular... I might get back to you on that. At the moment, I just can't think of one at the top of my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opinions, etc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your political standing?&lt;/b&gt; Moderate, in terms of liberal or conservative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?&lt;/b&gt; They will always exist.</content>

(or i could, i used to take hawaiian dance classes.) i would probably do well in a fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In your group of friends, where do you stand (leader... follower... comic relief... etc):&lt;/b&gt; leader when i have to be. occasionally comic relief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When you imagine yourself ten or fifteen years down the road, what do you see yourself doing:&lt;/b&gt; if things go the way i want them to, starring in a movie or tv show. if they don't, working a job that i like that pays well. in a relationship with someone i love and who loves me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which is more important to you? Love, or duty:&lt;/b&gt; love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/b&gt; red or pink. red is a passionate color and mixed with white (to make pink), it tones down a bit. but the passion and power is still there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/b&gt; nothing i can think of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please post at least two clear pictures of yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/fromtheinside/busphotoshootbutnotreally.png"&gt;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/fromtheinside/busphotoshootbutnotreally.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/fromtheinside/myspacepicture.png"&gt;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/fromtheinside/myspacepicture.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Questions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;/b&gt; a big room with all my friends just hanging out and watching movies or tv or listening to music, and just having a good time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/b&gt; someone who will see me as i am: my flaws, imperfections, and all, and love me anyway. i don't want someone who worships the ground i walk on and calls me perfect when i know i'm not. but i do want someone who'll make me feel special and help me become a better person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your style:&lt;/b&gt; causal, girlie-tomboy. i try to dress for comfort but look good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&lt;/b&gt; i want to act. i want to write. if i can't make a career out of either of those, i want to try and go into tv production or a career that i'll like. i don't want to end up working all the time at a job that i hate. i want to be happy with what i do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?&lt;/b&gt; "i'm just doing the best i can, given the circumstances."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; pessimistic, i guess. but i try to look on the bright side of things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy?&lt;/b&gt; when i was younger i was very shy. now i'm more outgoing. but i'm still quiet when i first meet people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words:&lt;/b&gt; passionate, loyal, vivacious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Character and why:&lt;/b&gt; tie between max and logan. i can relate to max because she's just a girl trying to get by in the worl, and despite how she's made, she's still human and makes mistakes. she's not a hero that's perfect all the time. and logan because i like how he tries to make things right, even though he doesn't have to and it's not his responsibility. it's something he wants to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Episode:&lt;/b&gt; hm. i'd have to say meow. not only do max and logan FINALLY admit how they feel, but...i don't know. it's got something for everyone. humor, romance, action, and sadness. the only thing i'd change about it is the very end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAX: Don't hold up the war on my account. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOGAN: The world will still be broken in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opinions, etc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your political standing?&lt;/b&gt; liberal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?&lt;/b&gt; they're going to exist whether we like it or not in this society, but i don't think it's fair.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name: &lt;/strong&gt;Hiei&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age:&lt;/strong&gt; 22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location: &lt;/strong&gt;NSW, Australia &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Instant meals, strange music, technology, truth, science fiction, movies, good beer, menthol smokes, rainy mornings, stormy nights, signpens that write smoothly, snail mail, vanilla scented candles, incense that smells like incense, good strong coffee, nice cars, black leather accessories&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt;. chopsuey, crawling things, gardening, hot days, morning people, decaffinated coffee, stop smoking ads, people who force their ideals down my throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strengths:&lt;/strong&gt;Stubborn, patient, loyal, willing to teach, focused, can be silent when need be, protective of those i claim as mine, willing to listen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weaknesses: &lt;/strong&gt;VERY stubborn, expects loyalty from others, rarely speaks up, overprotective more often than not, tends to steamroller over people i deem stupid, believes a LOT of people are stupid, penny pincher. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; writing, knitting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fears: &lt;/strong&gt;Being forgotten, being useless&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favorite book(s)?&lt;/b&gt; : Caves of Steel by Issac Assimov, rather, the entire series of Elijah Bailey, futuristic detective not-so-extraordinaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite movie?&lt;/b&gt; : The Princess Bride &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite quote? &lt;/strong&gt;Wisest is he who knows he does not know - Socrates&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do you want to die?:&lt;/b&gt; In an exciting way i suppose. My life is fundamentally boring and yet i want to make my mark in the world in however form. Also, Sponteneous Human Combustion? Sounds vurry interesting. lolz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have any special talents? : &lt;/strong&gt;...er, i can type really fast? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In your group of friends, where do you stand (leader... follower... comic relief... etc):&lt;/b&gt; Depends really. If i'm with my close friends, i tend to just be the resource person, the Spock to someone else's Kirk so to speak, pointing out the logic or illogic of things as we go on. If i'm with a group of people that i don't consider myself close to (i.e. friends from university/work) i tend to either take charge because i don't trust them to do the job properly, or else, fade in the background and try not to be noticed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you imagine yourself ten or fifteen years down the road, what do you see yourself doing:&lt;/b&gt; Hopefully working as a nurse. Lolz, i don't seem like it, but seriously, i actually like my course, i like being a nurse and may stay on for quite some time. 15 years on, i may actually try my hand at teaching it in a university setting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is more important to you? Love, or duty:&lt;/b&gt; Duty. Because in the end, following your duty is perhaps the greatest expression of love you can have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/b&gt; Gray. Neither good nor bad. True logic is neither light nor dark, and that's what i strive for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you? &lt;/strong&gt;That i'm taking up nursing? Lolz. I'll hopefully graduate this year. I have a younger sister who i dote on and guard like a dragon. I know several languages. I have a sock kink. I have a black cat named Salem. er....yeah. i think thats about it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Photo time:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img title="" height="350" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/maeglinhowl/separatesmall/whitehiei1.jpg"&gt;...&lt;img title="" height="350" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/maeglinhowl/separatesmall/a03d6fd3.jpg"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Questions&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Beer. Lots of it. Good music with good bass. Beer. My nearest and dearest, excluding the parental units. Beer. A few people who i do not know but will know at the end of the evening, the only reason i allow them there is because my nearest and dearest invited them and i trust their judgement. Did i mention beer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Kind without being condenscending. Hopeful without naivete. Fiery, passionate and focused. Able to stay in on rainy days, watching old movies in socks and jammies. Able to walk down some path with me, without speaking. Able to look at me and actually see me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe your style:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;You mean clothing? If i'm at home i don't care and just grab the first thing out of the closet. If i'm going to work (in the office), i tend to be a little bit more formal and grab a decent blouse and a pair of heels. If i'm going to work (in the hospital) i'll make sure my hair is pulled back (maybe a little severely) and i look pristine in the uniform, i mean, duh, it's a uniform. If i'm just going to university or to the shops, i tend to dress up more, leaning towards black, and dark red, no bright or pastel colours. Sometimes i bring my fake leather jacket, for laughs. (Everyone knows it's fake, and i don't care if they do. lolz)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I do. I would like a lot of money. That's a bit difficult. So maybe i'll set it lower and just would like a chance to live with my bestfriend in our own apartment. Earning a negliable amount of money. lolz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I must admit, i stole it from Viggo Mortensen, but it works for me : Adapt and Overcome. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic? &lt;/strong&gt;Realistic actually, but more often than not, people call me pessimistic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy? &lt;/strong&gt;I come off as outgoing. I make friends and what not if that's what it comes down to. But truth is, i don't let anyone in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words: &lt;/strong&gt;Unseen, Disturbed, logical&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Character and why: &lt;/strong&gt;Logan Cale. The man is nothing but a bleeding heart, but damn does he make it look easy! lolz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Episode: &lt;/strong&gt;I have a strange fondness for Art Attack. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite Quote from DA: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Max, on Logan &lt;/em&gt;: I never pictured you as the married type. You're more the lone warrior. You know - windmills, armor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Opinions, etc.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your political standing? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The government is there for a purpose, to protect and guide the people. Unfortunately, the government is populated by mere humans who are easily corrupted. So i view everything that the government does with a jaundiced eye. Don't trust the government, don't trust the business, in the end, everyone is only out for themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I never understood the reason for social classes. If it was by birth or amount of money in one's bank account, how does either make you better (or worse!) than any body else? </content>

Quirky.  Irish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Character and why:&lt;/b&gt; Alec. He's snarky, hot, and there's something about him that I just LOVE. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Episode:&lt;/b&gt; Berrisford Agenda. How can you go wrong with so much Alec? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&lt;/b&gt; I really can't decide - none of them are coming to mind right now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opinions, etc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your political standing?&lt;/b&gt; Conservative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?&lt;/b&gt; ...they exist.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Jen.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 18.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Location:&lt;/b&gt; A horribly small town in Ohio. Pity me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Reading, thunderstorms, swimming, going shopping and hanging around with my friends, and listening to music. Um – chocolate is big on my list, definitely. Swimming. Mornings where I’ve stayed up all night and can watch the sunrise. Snow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt;. Idiots. That’s first and foremost on my list. Um, close-minded people also annoy me, as well as things like spiders, clowns, someone else wearing an outfit I own, being teased by anyone who isn’t one of my best friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Ah – I'm horribly good at getting my own way. I'm charming - people like me. In that vein, I’m good with people – especially children and people my own age. I’m popular – and that is a skill in my world, thank you very much. I can act well enough, and I love to cook. I'm a good writer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; I get impatient with people – not so much with things, but I get pissed when I have to wait for people to get whatever I want them to get. I usually ask for advice and then totally disregard it, which I’ve been informed is a very weak point. I get defensive easily. I have a horrible temper. Pretty things, alas, also make me weak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Debating [it is a hobby, okay?]. Cooking. Swimming – in the summer and fall, at least. Teasing my younger brothers. Spending time with my friends. Decorating for Christmas. [in the spring, in the summer, in the fall – it’s enough to make my parents cry, but my friends and I get a kick of them going to bed with the house all normal and waking up to decorations EVERYWHERE.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fears:&lt;/b&gt; Failure. Oh, and spiders. That’s pretty much all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite book(s)?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Anne of the Island”&lt;/i&gt; by L.M. Montgomery. It’s a book I’ve grown up with, and the one I always turn to when I need to destress and relax. I love Montgomery’s writing, and I identify with Anne quite a lot. Plus, I’m pretty much a hopeless romantic, so the relationship with Gilbert and Anne never fails to make me happy and gleeful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite movie?&lt;/b&gt;  Serenity – I LOVED Firefly, so when I found out they were making a movie that took place after the show ended, I was thrilled. I also love Clueless, because it’s so funny and Cher is adorable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote?&lt;/b&gt; “History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.” Winston Churchill. I intend on becoming a lawyer – possibly, probably, if I don’t become a chef – and going into politics, and I’ve considered this my mantra for the past few years. It’s a sentiment I can get behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do you want to die?:&lt;/b&gt; I don’t. Surely by the time that I get around to dying, they’ll have invented the technology to prevent it? But if that isn’t an option [even though it SHOULD BE], I’d like to die – of old age. Or in bed with Johnny Depp, having amazing sex. And if that’s the case, I want it put in my obituary, too. And I want it carved on my grave, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any special talents?&lt;/b&gt; I get what I want. That’s a talent. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;In your group of friends, where do you stand (leader... follower... comic relief... etc):&lt;/b&gt; I’m the leader. I’m just - usually automatically in charge, and most everyone I know does what I say. I'm bossy, what can I say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When you imagine yourself ten or fifteen years down the road, what do you see yourself doing:&lt;/b&gt; I see myself in some sort of relationship – not marriage, but a long-term relationship. Making lots of money. Not really happy, but making do with what I have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which is more important to you? Love, or duty:&lt;/b&gt;  Love always matters more than anything else to me. I prefer to follow my heart in most situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were a color, what would you be a why:&lt;/b&gt; Red. I'm passionate, stubborn, and energetic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there anything else we should know about you?&lt;/b&gt; Nope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please post at least two clear pictures of yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/JRose/grererre.jpg" alt="1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/JRose/IMAGE5.jpg" alt="1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Questions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal party:&lt;/b&gt; One where there’s lots of people, lots of chaos, and lots of entertainment for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/b&gt; Someone who’s – a lot like me, actually. Outgoing. Passionate. Argumentative. Stubborn as hell. [however, someone who’s willing to admit when they’re wrong would also be good, because I don’t do that.] &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Describe your style:&lt;/b&gt; It’s classic, with a bit of bohemian prep going for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any dreams/aspirations? If so, what are they?&lt;/b&gt; Tons. I aspire to figure out what I want to do with my life, I dream of having a family when I’m older, I dream of visiting Prince Edward Island in Canada [don’t ask]. I aspire to somehow make the world a better place - I haven't figured out how, yet, but I'll get there eventually. I dream of “making it” in – well, whatever I decide I want to do. The usual stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?&lt;/b&gt; I don’t really have one, unless “I should always get what I want” counts. There’s a quote I keep in mind daily, and use it to remind myself of – a lot of stuff, but I don’t know if I’d count it as a motto. Anyway, it’s “history will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.” Winston Churchill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimistic. Although I’m really more of a realist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you more outgoing or shy?&lt;/b&gt; Outgoing. I’m a total extrovert – I love being around people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe yourself in 3 words:&lt;/b&gt; Stubborn. Passionate. Social.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Character and why:&lt;/b&gt; Alec. Oddly, I didn’t expect to like Alec – in my mind, he was getting in the way of Max and Logan, so I went into the second season intending to hate him. But he’s just so sarcastic, and such a screw-up but in the most endearing way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Episode:&lt;/b&gt; “And Jesus Brought a Casserole.” It had Syl and Krit – my favourite X5s! – and it had Zack actually shooting himself to save Max. It had action, romance, and basically everything. Except Alec.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favourite Quote from DA:&lt;/b&gt; “Is this some kind of new torture thing? Lock people up in a cheap motel and babble at them until they crack?” Only because that’s so a kind of torture I would try to do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opinions, etc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your political standing?&lt;/b&gt; I’m a Democrat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your opinion on social classes?&lt;/b&gt; They aren’t needed – there’s not enough room for people to move up, but too much room for people to fall.&lt;br /&gt;</content>

Maybe in a hotel or something a real nice one with a big ass pool. Alcohol flowing and people just having fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe your ideal significant other:&lt;/b&gt; The girlfriend I have now. Shes perfect even if she doesn't think so. She listens to me and puts up with my insane nature. I love her.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Describe your style:&lt;b&gt; I'm simple. Wife beater and jeans or maybe shorts.

If so, what are they?&lt;/b&gt; Yeah I wanna move out of my parents house and to New York City.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Do you have a motto?
