Oro... grumble...

2008-08-01T16:17:07Z

Name: Zuks
Age: 17
Gender: F
Nationality: American

Likes: Good food, art, good stories, movies, fandoms, crafts, rock music, sleeping, amusement parks, space aliens, different colored houses, and cephalopods.
Dislikes: Bad food, very socially uptight people, home owner's associations, back seats with three people, fast driving, being useless, the outdoors/countryside, and strange things in my yard (such as dogs or space aliens) that are generally undesirable.
Dreams: to become a graphic novelist / author-illustrator.
Fears: I'm very afraid of voids/the concept of nothingness; space aliens (grays in particular; mostly the idea of them being hostile); being touched by the Noodly Appendage of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and converted to Pastafarianism (No, that last one isn't a joke - I really find that idea disturbing! Nothing against Pastafarians, only Spaghetti.)

Strengths: Art, writing, crafts, analyzation skills, spacing out.
Weaknesses: Math and chemistry, anything physical, and my emotions.
Three positive adjectives: Creative, Curious, Aloof
Three negative adjectives: Stubborn, Inattentive, Procrastinating
Personality in a word: A single word? Um... think of your favorite floorboard creak. That's the word.
General mood: Tired? Half-conscious? Neutral?

Optimist or pessimist? Optimist.
Impulsive or cautious? Cautious, but I become impulsive when I become emotional (which is very rare).
Mature or immature? Mature.
Extroverted or introverted? Introverted.
Leader or follower? Neither. I don't follow anyone, but I'm not a good leader... I'd probably lead someone 'straight into the pits of hell or something of the like'. Accidentally.
Emotional or collected? Collected. I dislike being emotional.
Patient or impatient? I can be either. It depends on the thing. I suppose I lean closer to impatient, but then I take my time with things.
Confident or modest? I try to be modestly confident. It depends on who I'm with. I tend to be quieter and modest, but in reality I'm a confident person who just doesn't see the need to put themselves out there all of the time.
Low, normal or high energy level? Low energy level. I'm a bit... lethargic. And ADD.
Morning person or not? Not! You're speaking to a night owl.

Favourite character and why: Sanousuke? Because he cussed on Toonami? (Sorry, I haven't seen Kenshin in a while, so I'm a little foggy.)
Least favourite character and why: Kaoru. She's just... Well, I don't want to offend anyone who was stamped Kaoru or liked Kaoru.
Favourite pairing and why: n/a I don't ship anything for Ruroken. ^_^
Favourite arc and why: n/a because I haven't seen or read it in ages. But I did see it all!
Favourite song and why: The Fourth Avenue Cafe`, because I am a good. for. nothing. L'Arc~en~Ciel fan. (Although I love TMR & Siam Shade, too.)

Anything else? Sorry I haven't seen it in forever!

Voted on? Voted on? I don't think there are any others that need votes currently. ^_^ So I'll add more as they come!

Here's a ref. :)

'Oro' can be an extremely catchy word...

2008-04-28T09:08:25Z

Name: Artemis
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Nationality: New Zealand

Likes: Paganism, swimming, reading, writing, sleeping, watching anime.
Dislikes: Spiders, broken promises, soap operas, drama queens, bitchiness, extremism.
Dreams: 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.
Fears: Spiders. But on a deeper level, I fear not being a strong person and not living up to my own expectations.

Strengths: 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.
Weaknesses: 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.
Three positive adjectives: Self-aware, intelligent, controlled.
Three negative adjectives: Impatient, moody, unconfident.
Personality in a word: Self-contained.
General mood: At this time of my life, the word I'd generally use is content.

Optimist or pessimist? Pessimistic. My outlook on life isn't necessarily negative, but I tend to be fairly cynical regarding people in general.
Impulsive or cautious? A little of both. I try to think things through more, though, and I tend to be wary (and therefore more cautious) when it comes to unfamiliar situations.
Mature or immature? I can be both, but I'll go with mature.
Extroverted or introverted? Definitely introverted.
Leader or follower? Follower. I lack the self-confidence it takes to be a leader at this point.
Emotional or collected? Collected.
Patient or impatient? Both.
Confident or modest? Confident if it's something I'm familiar and experienced with, but otherwise generally modest.
Low, normal or high energy level? Normal. I have plenty of energy, but I don't usually get hyperactive or noisy with it.
Morning person or cranky when awakened? Cranky. Gotta have my beauty sleep.

Favourite character and why: There's a lot of characters I like, but one of them I'm quite fond of is Megumi; she's obviously a strong and intelligent woman who can take care of herself, but is also mature and more reserved with it than, say, Kaoru. She also has more than one side to her, so that what you see isn't necessarily what you get, which I prefer in my characters.
Least favourite character and why: There's plenty to choose from, but in general I dislike characters who are arrogant, bragging, unintelligent, etc. So, characters such as Hyottoko, Iwanbō, Inui, Otowa...
Favourite pairing and why: Actually, I'm quite happy with what's canon in this anime. There's just so many characters that there's no real need for me to fangirl over any pairing in particular.
Favourite arc and why: The Kyoto arc. I'm not a big fan of lots of filler episodes, and I liked the introduction of new characters and the development of the old ones that came after the Tokyo arc - so, Kyoto arc it is.
Favourite song and why: I don't really have one. I like quite a few of the songs but there's none that stand out to me so much as to become a favourite.

Anything else? I don't think so.

Oro...what a stupid word.

2008-02-25T15:25:30Z

Name: Robin
Age: 25
Gender: female
Nationality: an American mutt

Likes: weapons, sparing, intelligence, wit, knowledge, puzzles, mind games, privacy, quiet, solitude, contemplation, truly good people (a rarity), people who stand up for what they believe in even if its considered weird or unpopular, good art, plays, movies, books, music, theater, coffee, alcohol, free-will, challenges, video games
Dislikes: stupidity, ignorance, prejudice and hypocrisy and the people who embody these traits, people who think that they are cuter or clever than they actually are, people who are sheep, people who think that they're the center of the universe (lets just cut to the chase and say most people), being meddled with, being scrutinized, being interrupted, being lied to, being accosted by merchants, being manipulated, being forced to do something (even if I want to I hate feeling obligated), loud or irritating noises, crowds, for dummies books, pigs, penguins, cutesiness
Dreams: I'd like to be a god really, but if your talking more realistically I suppose what I really want is to be as close to perfection in my martial arts and weapons training as possible. I've also often thought that it would be fun to be infamous.
Fears: the death of my loved ones and helplessness

Strengths: intelligent, I pick things up quickly, good at figuring out how things work, good at reading people, multi-talented, intense, focused, determined, spirited, extremely loyal to the people and things that I really care about, I can be charming although it requires an effort and I don't usually bother, superficially polite, thoughtful (in that I tend to think), creative, original, not afraid of being thought weird or different, punctual, in pretty good physical shape, fast, flexible, good hand eye coordination, perfectionist
Weaknesses: cynical, antisocial, taciturn, misanthropic, hopeless at team work and public speaking, disinclined to share my feelings even with those I'm closest to, brooding, frequently morbid and pessimistic, obsessive, pretty ruthless, stubborn, indifferent to most things (when I care I care very deeply so I try not to care about much), well hidden but very much present nasty streak, disingenuous, cold, disinclined to be helpful unless I'm specifically asked, occasionally snarky, addictive, reclusive, generally lacking in practical and social skills
Three positive adjectives: intelligent, intense, creative
Three negative adjectives: cynical, antisocial, obsessive
Personality in a word: complicated
General mood: thoughtful

Optimist or pessimist? pessimist
Impulsive or cautious? I prefer caution but if the situation requires it I act on impulse.
Mature or immature? mature although I am definitely a dreamer
Extroverted or introverted? exceedingly introverted
Leader or follower? Neither, I dislike most people too much to want that close a relationship with them. I'm definitely more of a solitary creature. I'd rather lead than follow someone that I don't respect however.
Emotional or collected? Outwardly collected to the point of blankness, but there's usually a lot going on below the surface.
Patient or impatient? I'm patient in that I have long term goals that I don't expect to be reached in the near future.I don't like waiting in day to day life though, I hate when people are late even though I don't usually say anything. I suppose I'm a mix.
Confident or modest? One can be both. I don't go around bragging about my skills but I am confident in them.
Low, normal or high energy level? Again it depends. In day to day life I'm normally very calm and collected but when I have a task at hand or when something interests me my energy level shoots through the roof.
Morning person or cranky when awakened? No I'm not a morning person. I tend to stay up very late so generally speaking early mornings don't thrill me that much.

Favourite character and why: Saitou. I like his sense of humor, he's a genuine badass, he's intelligent, he's just an all around cool character.
Least favourite character and why: Kenshin himself actually because in my mind he's a total hypocrite. He refuses to kill people yet he's perfectly willing to beat people up and break a few bones to "prove" that his opinion is the "right" one. He also does some really stupid things like blocking kodachi with his hand and grabbing the blade of his sword that, as someone who has studied sword fighting, make me cringe. His squatting on ceilings and leaping dozens of feet into the air annoys me too (I know it's an anime but few of the other characters do it). Frankly there are a lot of fights that he shouldn't have won because he was vastly outclassed. And oh, for the record, it's very possible to kill someone by bludgeoning them with a dull piece of metal. If Kenshin was really worried about killing people he'd use a shinai instead of a sakabatou.
Favourite pairing and why: I don't have one. I'm not in to pairing characters.
Favourite arc and why: The Kyoto arc because it has some of the best characters and most interesting fights.
Favourite song and why: I don't really have one.

Anything else? No.

Name: Sandra
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Nationality: Portuguese

Likes: Many many things. I like drawing, reading and watching movies/tv shows mostly so I'm pretty interested on cinema. I love taking walks at the beach when it's winter. Taking walks altogether.

Which also means I love playing videogames such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
Dislikes: Cheese! Summer and spring, I have alot of allergies then. I don't like when people are late, I don't like when people are disrespectful, not just to me but to others aswell.

leader or follower? i'm the kinda follower that states her opinion loudly and repeatedly until everybody has heard it and considered it, and then ends up following someone else anyway. i go where the majority goes most of the time. not if it's jumping off a cliff or something but... you get my drift.

favourite song and why: natsu no e, kaoru & kenshin's image song. the guitar draws me in every time =3

anything else? not really.

As far as non-long term dreams..I'd like to find a few more friends where I'm currently living. I moved away and now everyone I know is far away..kind of lonely now.

Name: Doug
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Nationality: American and damn proud of it--descended from Scandinavia, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Britain... shall I keep going?

Likes: my friends, anime/manga, video games, open minded people, being a leader, having people look up to me, learning new things, devising potential ideas for my story i'm writing, working out, reading, writing, cats, swimming, star wars, rating communities
Dislikes: bad endings to wonderful anime, traitors, people who bash dubbed anime (sure japanese seiryuus are usually better.. but dubbed voice actors are mostly fine too--both have their good and bad), rap/hiphop music, people who blast that kind of music/music in general, Americans who are anti-American (seriously gtfo), not being able to help a friend when they're down, overly pessimistic/emo people, writer's block, opinionated people, headaches and politics
Dreams: To achieve greatness and a decent standing in the world; to become a relatively well known writer and publish the story i'm currently writing (hopefully continuations to follow!)
Fears: To have my dreams crushed, to be abandoned by those I've come to love

Strengths: confident, determined and i let nothing get in the way of thing I want to achieve, will help someone in need, protective, realist, thoughtful (unless angry), clever, easygoing, protective
Weaknesses: i'm impulsive whenever i'm angry. On occasion, some things i say come across in an unintended way. I'm hard to get through when i'm in a bad mood
Three positive adjectives: strong, confident, driven
Three negative adjectives: prideful (that can be bad too), stubborn, enigmatic (again, it can be a good thing and a bad thing)
Personality in a word: Complex
General mood: Most of the time, I'm very easy going and soft spoken. I'm not a hard person to approach though people seem to be rather intrigued by me.

Optimist or pessimist? Realist, I'm right in the middle here although I don't tend to be pessimistic.
Impulsive or cautious? Cautious mostly, unless angered which then I'm impulsive.
Mature or immature? Mature
Extroverted or introverted? 50/50
Leader or follower? Leader
Emotional or collected? Generally, more collected than emotional. Although there are times when emotions get the better of me. So I'll say 60% collected and 40% emotional.
Patient or impatient? In most circumstances, I'm patient.
Confident or modest? Confident
Low, normal or high energy level? Normal
Morning person or cranky when awakened? It depends on how much sleep I get

Favourite character and why: Aoshi Shinomori. He's prideful, a great leader and his character is so complex and intriguing. I would say I was the most interested in his character and watching him go from great, to becoming a soldier of chaos and redeeming himself afterwards. Plus, he has a lot of really cool techniques--and wakizashis are awesome! Saitoh is a close second.
Least favourite character and why: Hoji; he bugged me. A lot--though the one thing I will give him is that he's loyal.
Favourite pairing and why: Kenshin/Kaoru. It's a sweet pairing; watching their relationship mature was wonderful and there were a lot of moments that really made me say it was genuine and pure. It was nice to see Kenshin be able to move on from Tomoe (though unfortunately, her brother didn't exactly move on from him). Aoshi/Misao was kind of cute too; fangirl Misao wins!
Favourite arc and why: Kyoto Arc. It was really awesome to see everybody band together and put their differences aside to fight the greater evil. The fights were wonderful and there were some really emotional moments too.
Favourite song and why: A Warrior's Blue. Firstly, it's Aoshi's theme so that's a winner. Secondly, the rhythm is very intriguing and works well for his character and the situations in which it's played.

Anything else?

Weaknesses:
tempermental, sassy, stubborn/headstrong/strong-willed, overly critical, procrastinator, rebellious (I've never been good with authority, heh, heh), impatient, apathetic (though I'm starting to turn optimistic - I'm going to college next year), hides feelings, envious, defensive, snippy, insulting, assertive, moody (PMS ^^).

Three positive adjectives:
See above?

Three negative adjectives:
Ok, I often tie adjectives/strengths/weaknesses together so if there's anything specific you want to know just ask! *grins*

Personality in a word:
Firey

General mood:
Uh... normal?

Optimist or pessimist?
I'm in the middle because if you choose one, people think you're either emo or happy-happy-joy-joy. I see things the way they are and I dream about the future. Yes, things can get me down but that's normal.

Impulsive or cautious?
When making big decisions like college, I plan them out but I like impulsive. Cautious.. not really. I rode my bike once without my helmet and ended in the ER with a concussion, broken collarbone and incoherent for eight hours. I use my helmet now and that's about the only caution I use, lol.

Mature or immature?
Definately mature though I can have immature moments - aka, acting silly on the rare (few and far between) get-togethers with my gal friends.

Extroverted or introverted?
Extroverted but when I'm by myself I tend to be introverted - I like to think. And if there's something I don't want to talk about, you'd never know it.

Leader or follower?
My personality is that of a leader HOWEVER I like to follow closely behind the leader A) so I can influence them and B) if they're stupid/screw up I can kick their tail and do a better job.

Emotional or collected?
Depends on what you mean by emotional. If you mean crying and weepy emotional, I can keep myself together. The only emotion I show when in a fight or argument is anger but generally I'm pretty collected.

Patient or impatient?
Definately impatient. I have five younger siblings, lol. I would love more patience though. The only patience I have is waiting to get out of the house. World's too dangerous to run away now, lol.

Confident or modest?
Both. I do have self-confidence but I'm modest in my achievements.

Low, normal or high energy level?
Normal to hight depending on my mood.

Morning person or cranky when awakened?
To be honest I love the morning - I think it's beautiful on the rare times I'm awake to see the sun come up. But given the fact that I'm a night person I can be cranky in the morning. But I can never sleep in past 8 or 9 o'clock and it's rare that I do. I get up cause I have to. *groan*

Favourite character and why:
I suppose either Kenshin, Misao, or Aoshi. I love their strong characters and background and they're all very cool.

Least favourite character and why:
Hmm... not sure I have a least favorite. Maybe some of those minor, annoying characters that have no names, lol. I seriously need to watch the series again.

Favourite pairing and why:
I kind of like Yahiko/Tsubame because I'm a sucker for cuteness. But my favorite is definately Aoshi/Misao. I love the depth of their relationship and the allusions to the possibility of it being canon.

Favourite arc and why:
Hmmm... I love the Kyoto arc because there's a lot of depth and the final episode in that arc was beautiful. Plus the music kicks tail.

Favourite song and why:
I love "Freckles" because it's cute and catchy.

Anything else?
Hmm... nope, I think that covers it.

Name: Jody~
Age: 17.
Gender: I'm a lady. 8D
Nationality: Lebanese.

Likes: chocolate, antiques, dance, song, sketching, writing, being lazy, spending time with friends/family, music, uhhhn... Wow. You'd think I'd be better at listing my likes, huh.
Dislikes: hypocrites, liars, the two-faced, vulgarity (at least the really bad stuff; a few jokes here and there don't hurt anybody), doing poorly/failing at anything (I'm too big of a perfectionist for my own good, dang), and insects. Oh God, the insects. Racism, stereotypes, sexism, unnecessary violence and bias.
Dreams: When I'm older I want to get married and have a family to support by getting into a pediatric field. I love taking care of people and helping them out (I get the 'quit that and pay attention to yourself' bit a lot both from the boyfriend and the friends) even though I usually end up playing therapist. Hey, I don't mind usually, though.
Fears: Being forgotten, losing everything (both my loved ones and my abilities, physical or mental alike), failure, being left alone, the dark. YES, THE DARK. ;_;

Strengths: I like to think of myself as artistically capable. I'm adaptive, open-minded, and pretty compassionate. I have a pretty good sense of humor and I can get plenty sarcastic which usually gets a good chuckle out of my friends. Or at least I hope it does. D8 If they've been lying this whole time I'll cry. When I really do want to achieve something, I work hard at it.
Weaknesses: I can be overly sensitive, moody, and I have a really bad temper that's has a bit of a mind of its own. It's weird, because in some circumstances I'll be completely patient but at the others I'd get irritated at a snap. Oh, and I'm stubborn. Veeery stubborn. Oh! And I procrastinate and get my lazy spells...
Three positive adjectives: Optimistic, compassionate, helpful.
Three negative adjectives: Indecisive, self-conscious, malleable.
Personality in a word: Multi-faceted.
General mood: Carefree.

Optimist or pessimist? Definitely optimist but everyone has those moments.
Impulsive or cautious? I'm leaning toward cautious.
Mature or immature? Both, nyuk. xD
Extroverted or introverted? It depends on my surroundings-- around people I don't know very well I'm more of an introvert but I'm extroverted to friends. I'd say ambivert.
Leader or follower? I generally like to follow, but I do think I have leadership qualities. It just depends on whether I deem the situation necessary for me to employ them.
Emotional or collected? Very, very emotional.
Patient or impatient? Generally patient but if I'm particularly passionate about something I get impatient.
Confident or modest? Modest, gah.
Low, normal or high energy level? I like to think normal.
Morning person or cranky when awakened? Depends on who woke me up. :p I'm not cranky when you wake me up but I'll assure you that I'll probably try and sneak in another 5 more minutes...

Favourite character and why: Forgive me, but I'll copypaste: "... >_> You probably saw this coming, but yes, Kenshin. I find the fact that he can still rummage some sort of forgiveness within himself undoubtably refreshing, and the fact that he's a good caretaker doesn't hurt either. :D Uhhh, but to not be as cliché... I really like Yutarou. xD I think he's an adorable little nub, and when he and Yahiko duke it out it's really cute. And Saito cracks me up. So hard."
Least favourite character and why: I'm sorry. Tsubame. I just find that she can be so unbelievably sugary and soft, and it irritates the crap out of me. Kaoru can get on my nerves only when she insists on playing the damsel-in-distress role when we all know she's perfectly capable of watching herself.
Favourite pairing and why: I love Megumi/Sano! I don't know if that's my favorite pairing but I do find it adorable.
Favourite arc and why: Kyoto Arc, particularly because it forces everyone into action. They all follow after Kenshin to support him, and Kenshin himself displayed lots of strength just leaving like that.
Favourite song and why: It's Gonna Rain has a wonderful beat and great vocals, but at the same time One Third and The Fourth Avenue Café are always fun to listen to.

Anything else?
Sorry if my application was so long! o_0 And thanks for the votes in advance! I'll get to work on doing my part now~ And I... donno whether to leave that in. *points downward* But I will! If it helps.

Dislikes: Rules, liars, confrontations, cheaters, depressed people, clingy people, fake smiles, rape, destruction, unnecessary violence, corruption, politicians, uninteresting carbon copies, conformity, racism, intolerance, unnecessary drama, waking up early, being picked on, elitism, museums, lectures, large groups, "hanging out", drugs, alcohol, snakes, roller coasters with big drops, cars, hospitals, sick or deformed people, elderly, babies, etc...
Dreams: My needs out of life are quite simplistic. I just want to have a life where as long as I'm intellectually and creatively involved I'm rather content (I have no desire for material affection or power). While I am a city person currently, probably in my future I would want to live in a deserted area surrounded by lots of nature. (I will never live in a suburbia). However to a certain degree a partnership would be lovely, although I couldn't ever imagine myself being married. I gather its because i don't like needy people and or controlling people, and in most relationship cases, that's usually how the partnership results. I would just want someone that I find unique, equally child-like/light-hearted, esoteric, artistic and honest/loyal.
Fears: Immature ones are hospitals, snakes, getting shot, rape... but more serious ones also include losing my ability to create, losing my memory or myself, being completely alone (which would sadly be self-inflicted).

Strengths:Never bored because i always find something to do, self-sufficient, optimistic, creative, academically smart without trying, amicable, multi-faceted, reliable, honest, passionate, innocent but not naive, can play the part of mature and child-like, independent, reflective, effective writer, patient, compassionate, calm/patient, optimistic, rebellious, adventurous, strategic, philosophical, etc
Weaknesses:I get distracted easily with people or topics i consider uninteresting (my mind wanders although it'll look like I'm paying attention), loner, stage-fright/bad public speaking skills, overly analytical, over-active imagination, forgiving, self-sacrificing, blunt, tense around uneasy social situations, procrastinator, bad memory, self-doubting, night-owl, picky about guys/friends/food/etc, harsh critic, sensitive, easily distracted (particularly by my own mind), bad at verbally describing things, i have a problem liking things that majorities like, procrastinator, forgetful, over-booking (i love filling my plate with activities but then it becomes a stressful load)

Three positive adjectives: optimistic, intuitive, independent
Three negative adjectives: overly-analytical, self-sacrificing, loner
Personality in a word: observer
General mood: Optimistic and relatively calm but sometimes a bit spacey and nervous. However, at a breaking point I can become stone-cold emotionless.

Optimist or pessimist? Realistically Optimistic. Because of my intuitiveness, I generally can predict the outcome of a situation very swiftly. However, I am extremely hopeful, and even when I know a person is trying to screw me over, I still almost try and believe that it is false. I really wish to give people/situations the benefit of the doubt. , but Ive become more and more of a realist because my intuition is generally more accurate than my hopes.
Impulsive or cautious?I'd say due to being overly-analytical... cautious... but sometimes I decide to go with a gut feeling...
Mature or immature?Mature but with a child-like optimism. I'm pretty good at handling most situations in a relatively calm manner, and I definitely play the part of a mediator. However, I can also be in a public place and sing at the top of my lungs and embarrass myself and probably my friends around me. Although they end up joining in. However I am able to decipher the time for play and the time for maturity.
Extroverted or introverted? Both but I like being introverted. I'm rather friendly and easygoing but I keep to myself in the end. I gather its mainly because I like spending time with myself best. A lot of the process of fitting in is degrading yourself or going against possibly what you yourself would naturally do. While I'll socialize with many people, and I do have an abundance of friends, I spend most of my time keeping myself occupied or hanging with people I truly enjoy the company of. While I am honest, generally anything related to my own happiness is masked... I like to lead people away from putting me in a vulnerable position.
Leader or follower?Leader. While it is almost accidental, I am very passionate about my feelings. However that being said, because of my loner tendencies, I usually stay on the sidelines and drift away from groups. I generally am the one that is the support system and the leader of most of my friends. A lot of friends come to me to help them make decisions and literally almost tell them what to do. I gather it is because a lot of people respect my opinion.
Emotional or collected? collected for the most part... even in an argumentative state, my emotional state generally is very scarily disconnected. I don't like confrontation so I try to end things as quickly as possible.
Patient or impatient?Patient I gather with people when they are expressing that they need my attention... however I get distracted easily with other things when something or someone is boring me... I guess thats generally in class... I can only listen to a teacher for so very long. Typically I'm keeping my hands and mind busy while they droll on. Same with conversations about topics i find uninteresting. When I'm not keeping my hands occupied, I'll stare at the person as if I'm listening to them and then I'll think about whatever is going on inside my head.
Confident or modest? I'm proud of accomplishments and praise, but my critical nature makes it hard for me to come that far. I would generally claim that I'm modest as praise is usually shocking to me as I feel people's expectations are much lower than mine... however, when I'm proud of something, I keep it to myself... I don't like showing off...
Low, normal or high energy level? Morning, I am as dead as ever... but I guess that goes the same for any family event or rather any time where I need to something I won't enjoy. While I'll go do something if I'm invited or my family stamps it under "family obligation", I make it rather known that I'm not enjoying it based on my energy level. When I'm doing something I enjoy or it's late at night(I get a second wind of energy no matter how tired I am) I'm energetic and enthusiastic.
Morning person or cranky when awakened? In japan I was a morning person... but in america my schedule is backwards...

Favourite character and why: Kenshin was always a favorite character of mine, and as a small child I had one of those fangirl-crushes. Why? I like intelligent yet lighthearted people. Kenshin is noble, polite, strong, etc while also being caring and child-like. I've also always liked Soujiro-type villains, the sweet and loyal with a twinge of apathy.
Least favourite character and why: I'm probably going to say Shishio for lack of a memory... I don't particularly like villains... especially those who work on revenge or being power-hungry. He is vile, violent, and self-absorbed...
Favourite pairing and why: I'm a fan of cannon pairings... especially because in RK they make sense... ie: Sano x Megumi, Aoshi x Misao, Kaoru x Kenshin, etc...
Favourite arc and why: I can't really remember them all completely... so I'll have to go with all... although I will say I'm a shinsengumi geek... so I definitely loved the chapters where they were included.
Favourite song and why: Kenshin song? Oh god you're killing me... I remember the one where Megumi and Sanosuke fight being hilarious... oh... I remember... Freckles... oh god... my head just twinged with memory... both the english and japanese versions were cute, but I just loved the lyrics... how oddly sad and pretty they were...

Anything else?
Nah... I rambled enough and I'm sleepy... its almost 5... ugh...

Warning! Long and probably boring application.

Name: For what...? Okay, I will "cooperate": Patrícia. ;P
Age: I don´t like that question. Makes me sick. Fresh twenty two, "pirralhinhos".
Gender: Female.
Nationality: 100% portuguese origins. HOW BORING!!! I love mixtures above everything.

Likes:
Architecture, Arts (Painting/Sculture), Music, Literature, Science, Tecnology. The best of the human world. Quite obvious? More or less... I love Astronomy, spacecrafts (satellites, shuttles, space telescopes), airplanes. Bridges, huge buildings. Nature. Storms and tornados. I love rich cultures and civilizations. Gastronomies all over the world - I love good, quality, creative food!! (And actually I rarely eat things I don´t appreciate...)
I also like Physics and Maths.
About hobbies, now. Drawing, digital photo and video, internet, swimming, annoying people, playing tricks, hot arguments/discussions /especially if I am not involved), travel, reading, Anime (and other kinds of animation), Manga (and other comics), "foot trips", imagining a lot (stories, characters, situations, fictional scenes), thinking/analysing (myself, everything, anything), exploring inner/psicological issues... I'm a true awaken dreamer - rarely outside myself.
Dislikes:
I hate tobacco and smokers. I hate routines. Normal, boring lives. Stereotypes! Artificial and/or empty personalities. Ignorance. People who can not sit and listen! People who don´t addmit things they have done. People who don´t know themselves. People who never stop to think about things. People trapped by the routine, by the "system" - blindness! Chauvinism. Xenophobe people. Religious and other fanatisms/dogmas. Religions. Marriage. X__X
Dreams:
My true ambition is to control (my) space and time. Which means being able to teleport myself and to be immortal. Being incredibly skilled - in Art, in Science. Brillance! I want a new kind of existence, of biological/social/political system. ......... I hate being something SO SMALL, limitated, finite and unsignificative!!!!!! I am always frustrated. I am always revolted!!! ..........................
OK. Now the "valid" answer.
With a miserable human life in a quite limitated world/society/system, I would like to become a great painter/drawer. To have an animation/cinema studio - or at least having a great work in some.
More likely/less impossible to happen: to be a good enginner and to have my own business.
Fears:
Loose my hands, eyes and teeth. (The rest isn't that bad. XD Kidding!)
Loose any neurologic capacities.
Lack of Money. And don't call me materialist just for that.
Some years ago, I would point many more fears. But now, not, I'm more "zen". A single limited life is allways so insignificant/irrelevant. So, at a "fresh head moment" at least, I say - Whatever!
Strengths:
I am honest, sincere, creative, persistent and obstinated (which can be a weakness either), perfeccionist, sense of humour (I love laughing at myself either), stubborn, very much individualist, thoughtfull.
I can say I know myself pretty well. I listen and pay attention to what the others have to say me/about me - I accept /analyse the "external" (and internal) critics pretty well. I am not an easy going person, I behave like I want.
In this applications the talents are usually asked, and so, I shall add some lines about the subjec, too (since I pasted here the text I submit at rating communities, they were already done - hehe).
I have no talents. Talent is such a strong, powerfull word...! We can speak of "certain predispositions" instead... Drawing. Writting (not in english, of course!). Some immature skills with video and photo. I'm also quite good at improvising. Oh, and very good at irritating people - I can drive some of them crazy when it's convenient for me...
Weaknesses:
Many! Usually anti-social, impulsive, pessimistic, obsessive, annoying, lazy, clumpsy, arrogant sometimes, shy, unconsequent, manipulative, calculist, sometimes harsh and brute, hedonist, apathic, always anxious, self-centered, selfish sometimes, ignorant sometimes. I have dificulties in relating with other people, I am something problematic... @_@
Inferiority complex, in spite of being the typical "smartass"... Pitifull!
Ah, I forgot about an important thing. I am always obsessed with being different from the others. And I am very proud for being considered "abnormal". People usually say I am "weird", "strange". That makes me really happy. I'm quite, quite insane. I choose and and I do things that nobody would. Really. Well, these last sentences should be displayed in the previous section, but I followed the "average classification" which would be given to them, and so I left them here...
Ah, and I am an atomic imbecil!
About bad habbits? Being deorganized, sleeping at late hours, incapable of adopting a routine. I hate combing my hair either. And I usually let some things for the ultimate hours (to the closing date! - or even after). Awfull. Ah! And stiring into my nose - do you know what I mean? Probably not - my english is so poor... It sucks!

Three positive adjectives: creative, playfull, deepthinker.
Three negative adjectives: pessimistic, lazy, obstinated.
Personality in a word: Strong ideals with a not-so-strong will, sadly. (Oh, a word. I read " an expression". =P)
General mood:
Usually: depressed, sad, unconfortable, very bored. Frequenly: cheerful and exthasic.
It varies a lot, I'm moody. And definetly not an happy person.

Optimist or pessimist?
I am 75% pessimistic.
Impulsive or cautious?
I am about 43% impulsive. And then, naturally, I suffer the consequences... I have been trying to reduce my level of "impulsiveness". I have been made some improvements, some monthes ago I answered with a "52%" of 'impulsiveness'.
Mature or immature?
I would say about 55% of immatureness.
Extroverted or introverted?
I can be both - I am both, indeed. It depends of the company and place. But in an overall way, let's point "reserved".
Leader or follower?
Co-leader.
(I don´t know if it is correctly written; anyway, I meant integrating "a team of 2/3 leaders".)
Emotional or collected?
Quite collected. More emotional inside.
Patient or impatient?
Both. But mostly impacient.
Confident or modest?
Modest.
Low, normal or high energy level?
Usually normal. Sometimes high and apathic. ~_~
Morning person or cranky when awakened?
Definetly not a morning person! (I rather prefer the end of afternoon.)

Favourite character and why:
Seta Soujirou and Himura Kenshin. For some reasons. ;P
Interesting characters (especially the male ones) aren't in lack in this series, btw.
Least favourite character and why:
Chiiii! That ultra-annoying useless little duo - Ayame and Suzume. What's that for, god...?
Favourite pairing and why:
Shishio and Yumi. Carismatic and alternative. I love them. Then, Sanosuke and Kenshin. Ah, and Kamatari and Soujirou.
Favourite arc and why:
Totally Kyoto Arc!!
The others are something childish and boring (specially those who come after the Kyoto's one).
Favourite song and why:
It's Gonna Rain! Not to mention some instrumental pieces of the OST.

Anything else?
I hope this community can stamp me soon, I'm quite curious. ;)
Ah, and sorry about some eventual "smartassness" - I mean, found in all the application.

Thank you very much for your attention!

And I think am most like...

oooooooorrrrrrrroooooooo~
