  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Caroline&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;ll pretty much respond to &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt;. Except Carolyn because that &lt;i&gt;pisses me off so hard.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Video games (of all genres, but particularly airplane games), organization, science (specifically Marine Biology and Oceanography, Forensics, and Ichthyology), cooking, coffee, anime and manga, old music, dancing, grammar (in English and Spanish), playing the piano, and reading/writing/speaking Japanese (but not learning it!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Compulsive liars, nosey brats, self-mutilation/addictions, death, body hair, people who don’t wear their retainers, homophobes, and being in closed spaces for extended periods of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; I can put power and meaning into words, impeccable grammar, musically inclined, and I have high grades/GPA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; I can be lazy, bad memory, I get emotional very easily, and I sometimes make myself feel useless or like I’m not good enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; People who cause drama, teachers who don’t try to control their students, things being unorganized or dirty, being surrounded by people (when they’re dirty/smelly/in &lt;i&gt;droves&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Playing the piano, photography, learning Spanish, gaming, reading, cleaning, practicing hiragana/kanji, exercising, and dancing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; Gaming, and I’d like to think I’m pretty skilled on the piano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Red&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Oh, dear. I haven’t met a food I didn’t like so far, and I’ve had a lot of food. Also, I’ll try anything once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt; I try to be mature, but sometimes the inner child slips out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; I only follow one person I trust with my entire being. Otherwise, I tend to be a leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimist, hands down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; I do not get sick often, but I have a very weak immune system; mononucleosis nearly rubbed me out. Really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; 90% of the time I think things through logically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Death&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt; “To be great is to be misunderstood.”   ` Ralph Waldo Emerson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Oh, geez. Mmm…I’d honestly have to say Hijiri. There was just something about that little guy that I loved. &lt;small&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I kinda liked Hisoka!Hijiri more than Hijiri, but I don’t want to admit it because it makes no sense&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Kazutaka Muraki, 110%. *dodges fangirl tomatoes* He’s just never seemed right to me &lt;strike&gt;and for good reason!&lt;/strike&gt; and he’s done too many unforgivable things in my book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; Um, I hate the Chief like &lt;i&gt;burning&lt;/i&gt;? He’s always bitching about how Tsuzuki is such a slacker, but it seems to me that Tsuzuki works pretty damn hard, especially with so much drama going on in his sector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence! Please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut.

  <title>&quot;Do you want this? It&apos;s only 1500 yen..&quot; &quot;No, No! I have no money!&quot;</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ynm_rating/105244.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; I go by many names online..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt;  Shadow, Clo-Clo(You can thank a co-worker for that one.),  various derivatives of whatever screenname I&apos;m using at the time..There probably are others, they&apos;re just not coming to mind right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; Nineteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Respect. Theatre, music, the arts in general, tea, incense, reading about metaphysical/paranormal things, crystals and semi-precious stones, reading in general, reading material about vampires, candles, fire, fireworks, being mysterious(which really doesn&apos;t work so great with me spilling out so much about me on this quiz. XD), helping people, intelligent people, open-minded people, patient and polite people, cosplay, costuming in general, water, crows, ravens, snakes, dragons, myths, the night sky, stars, sunsets, knives, swords, shiny things, mist and fog...I could probably go on, but I won&apos;t bore you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Rude people. Ignorant and closed minded people are also something I dislike. I hate not being able to do anything for a friend who has landed themselves in a situation, and I&apos;m stuck feeling like I&apos;m slowly watching them drown. I dislike people trying to force their beliefs on me. I dislike being given meaningless orders. I normally have no problem following orders if given to me by  a superior..but only if they don&apos;t seem like a complete waste of my time and efforts. I also strongly dislike allergies. Oh, and garlic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Intelligence, patience(at times..until I lose it..), my intuition&apos;s normally pretty good(for what that&apos;s worth), my loyalty to my friends can also be seen as a strength, I suppose. I&apos;m also one who sticks to their guns, meaning that once I set my opinion on something, that&apos;s it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; My loyalty is a double edged sword; it could also be seen as a weakness to be exploited. I am a perfectionist, and my being hard on myself as a result is definitely a weakness. I internalize a lot, which means that although I may be patient for awhile..when I&apos;ve had enough that I can&apos;t internalize anymore..I tend to blow up. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; When I try to help people, and they turn around and do the opposite to what I suggested without even seeming to give what I had said any thought, only to come crying back to me when things get worse. Or when people at work expect me to be in fifty places at once. Once again, rudeness and disrespect is something that irks me quite a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Reading, writing once in awhile, costuming, listening to music, picking up on bits and pieces of other languages, roleplaying, watching live theatre/getting involved with live theatre as much as possible..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; &quot;Jack of all trades, master of none&quot; is the saying that comes to mind. Though, I do have a talent for memorizing things and I&apos;ve been told that my drawing skill is alrightI(even though I beg to differ. ^^;  ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Depends on the day. Dark purple (around #551A8B, for the Hex Color savvy. ), Deeper shades of blue( ranging from #0000CD to #00008B), as well as silvery grey and black are among my favorites, though. I also like deeper shades of red( like #CD0000). ^^;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Anything that doesn&apos;t trigger an allergic reaction? XD;  But seriously though, I do love a juicy, rare steak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt; Mature. Though, I will admit that I enjoy playing mind games with people every now and again. But, for the most part I like to think that I am pretty mature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;ve been told that I have natural leadership skills. Though, really, I could be either. The only issue I have is when a leader seems incompetent or is wasting my time giving me meaningless tasks that really are little more than a waste of time/energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimist. Though, I like to argue that I&apos;m being realistic...but yes..Definitely more of a pessimist than an optimist most of the time. I can be optimistic, almost to the point of being naive, but it&apos;s only when situations demand it to be so. Like a friend is going through a rough time, or a family member is very sick/on their death bed. If that makes sense. I try to be strong for others, in times like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; That one scene in episode 12 of Yami no Matsuei where Tsuzuki and Muraki are chatting while the Noh play is in progress irks me. Just because they&apos;re talking while a show is taking place. Bad theatre etiquette is bad. It&apos;s disrespectful to the performers. Mind you, I&apos;m also the variety of theatre enthusiast who attends shows dressed in black so as to not be a distraction to the players onstage. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; It depends. I usually -try- to act on logic..but when I lose my temper, that all flies out the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; That this recurring nightmare I had as a kid about driving a bright red convertible that crashes turns out to be my future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt;  Just because I was watching Yami no Matsuei earlier:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Because I love you, I want to rip you apart. I want to pile corpses before you.&quot; What the subtitles in Episode 11 of one of the subtitled episodes of Yami no Matsuei on YouTube had read as Muraki was talking to Tsuzuki. I found it comedic, but I have a morbid sense of humor like that at times. I&apos;m also not a really romantic person, so that may have contributed to my amusement. But yes, it was meant to be serious and creepy..but I just saw it as being funny for whatever reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Muraki Kazutaka, because he is a genius and his ego entertains me. He&apos;s so very bold, yet all of his plans are very calculated and thoroughly thought out. Even towards the end of the series, where his madness becomes even more apparent, he still seemed to think things through for the most part.  Plus, I enjoy the symbolism at play with him. He&apos;s always dressed in the purest of white, and often seen with feathers around him, giving him an almost angelic appearance..However, his actions in the series shows that there is more than meets the eye. He also manages to retain his calm and collected composure for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Least favorite character? Uhh..Well, to be honest, I never was really fond of the Gushoshin. Not really sure why, but I just never really cared for the things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; The fact that I was watching Yami no Matsuei earlier was likely a big part of my taking this quiz. Yes, I really am like this.  I know, I&apos;m an odd one. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence! Please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut. (Describe your appearance if you have no photos.)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t have any pictures of me on the computer right now. ^^;;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, I have long brown hair. It&apos;s very straight. Reaches to about my mid-back. I have green eyes that have been said to shift from a pale green, to a more brown-green or to a pale grey-blue. I think it&apos;s depending on the colors I wear, but people have suggested it may be seasonal or mood based. I don&apos;t much care, either way. I&apos;m about 5&apos;7&quot; tall, average weight. I&apos;m also pretty pale. I attribute this to the fact that I don&apos;t spend a lot of time in the sunlight, other than leaving the house long enough to go to work, or to go shopping, or whatever. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;;  I also have naturally dilated pupils.  I hate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Who wants to know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; Falcon, Mister Ego, Casper (when younger).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; Twenty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Animals, painting, art, music, holing myself up somewhere and reading or writing, the occult and metaphysical, causing mayhem, soba noodles, vampires, crossword puzzles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Being broke, being talked down on or people trying to pop my ego (like that could ever happen, but their attempts annoy me), Fundie Christians and religious fanatics, close-minded people, yammering twits, being disturbed when I&apos;m trying to work on something, being stuck in a &quot;group&quot; and expected to get along with them. Stupidity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; I am extremely stubborn, which can be good or bad I suppose. I think that I&apos;m rather smart, though I know I have a lot to learn and I am eternally curious... which often gets me in trouble with others. Then again, I usually don&apos;t give a damn what people think of me, unless they&apos;re holding a weapon of some sort, and then I&apos;ll let them think whatever it takes for me to get out of trouble. ;P I also am an animal lover and have rescued many kitties and a couple dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Apparently, I&apos;m a little too arrogant. I&apos;ve been described as selfish, but I&apos;ve also been described as extremely selfless, too. Apparently, people often don&apos;t know quite what to make of me, because I can be cold and down-right bastardy, but I can also be helpful and compassionate when people are in pain or trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Stupidity! I cannot STAND stupid people, especially ones who act like they know everything about me when they have NO idea what&apos;s in my head and then try and make assumptions. Also, animal abusers...-growl- I hate people for the most part, but I adore animals and seeing people hurt then pisses me off beyond comprehension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; The occult and metaphysical, painting, drawing, taking care of my fuzzy babies, figuring out the mysteries of the universe, etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I can play the viola, apparently I am good at giving advice and counsel, and I can out-cuss a sailor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Black, silver, white, green, red, dark purple... Nothing pastel or overly BRIGHT or neon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Soba noodles, salad, feta cheese... I try to limit my meat intake, because it makes me feel bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt; I&apos;d say I&apos;m MOSTLY mature. I mean, I like to freak people out, cause trouble, crack crude jokes and all that and supposedly that&apos;s not mature (but it&apos;s not boring at least)... But I was a utter loner during school because all the people struck me as completely worthless for intelligent discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; Independent. I hate authority figures and taking directions, but I don&apos;t want anyone following in my footsteps, either. I expect everyone to think for themselves and make their own ways. But if it was an emergency or something, I would be forced to pick Leader, because like I said... I refuse to have someone telling me what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; A bit of both. I can be cheerful, but I can also be cynical. I guess I&apos;d have to say I&apos;m optimistic with my friends, because I like to be strong for them, but with the world in general I am pessimistic because I have little to no faith in humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m gayer than a bag of Skittles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; Both. I&apos;m supposedly an INFP, which means I am emotional, but when it comes to seriously important things, I might consider my emotions and act on them, but I do so logically... if that makes sense. The only exception is when I feel hurt, wronged and angry... Then I just explode half the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Death, water and failure. I seriously wish I could be immortal, deep water makes me panic and I hate the idea of falling flat on my face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt; &quot;You&apos;re damned if you do, and you&apos;re damned if you don&apos;t.&quot; I don&apos;t remember who said it, but the idea is that you might as well live your life and do what you want, because people are going to hate you either way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; I adore most characters, though I am fond of Oriya, Hisoka and Watari. They all seem to have decent senses of humor, but are also serious and smart people. (In the case of Watari, only when needed, but he&apos;s still intelligent.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt;  Saki. Period. No explanation is needed. Satomi and Tatsumi also irk me, because they have absolutely no common sense in my opinion and Tatsumi is about as exciting as watching a slug race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; \o/ Butterscotch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence! Please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut. (Describe your appearance if you have no photos.)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...I haz no pictures. D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er... well. I&apos;m 5&apos;9&quot;. I have been called Casper, as I said in my nickname section, because I was anemic when younger and I still am pale as a ghost half the time. (I scared my mother by standing in the dark hallway once. xD ) x_x I have weird olive-drab green eyes, and shortish, dark brown hair. People tell me I have nice legs. o_O;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♪</description>

  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Jeremy Aidan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; Jem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; Fifteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Reading, writing, sewing, music, quiet places and activities, my laptop, cutting hair, those types of creative things...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Loud people, loud music, being in crowded areas, headaches/migraines, being ill, drugs, alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Mature when I need to be, I can read people well even though sometimes I don&apos;t want to, I&apos;m quite cute [according to others], I can be caring and loving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Sometimes I grow isolated from others, I get headaches frequently, I mess up quite often without realizing what I&apos;ve done, I&apos;m easily taken advantage of, and I have the lowest self esteem in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; People who are obsessed with drugs or alcohol, being yelled at for no reason, being treated like a child and simply brushed aside when I know something is right or something is not right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Singing, reading, writing, cutting hair, doing makeup, photography, roleplaying, sewing costumes, poetry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; See above. And add that I can unintentionally make people feel better about themselves =3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Rainbow, black, and white. I&apos;m all or nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Curry, or little sandwiches. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt; Mature sometimes, immature others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; Follower. Though sometimes, I envy leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimist, mostly. I&apos;m only optimistic when I know something will go right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; Hn... There&apos;s a lot people don&apos;t know about me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; I want to act on logic, but a lot of the time emotion takes over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Death, the dark, and murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&quot;All men are born mad. Some stay that way.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;I think it is a good point of view of life.&lt;br /&gt;Quite...Odd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; My all time favorite is Hisoka. I relate to him more than any other character from any other anime series or fandom. I feel like I&apos;ve gone through similar things that he has, and we have similar views on humanity. I also really like Muraki. Which is rather odd for a Hisoka fan, but the way he is devoted to what he wants is admirable. And he is quite charming to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Ehg. Tsuzuki annoys me to no end. He is so childish and stupid. Even when he tries to be adult, I just want him to shut his mouth. I don&apos;t really have any other least favorites. Oriya, maybe?

  <title>No, no. I have no Money!!</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ynm_rating/103204.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;There is no reason to be shy. Come into my world&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I HAVE NO MONEY, I spent it all on the finer things in life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name:&lt;/strong&gt; My name is so simple it&apos;s boring, Amy. [ but that is all you get ]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nickname:&lt;/strong&gt; Chazmy. I always liked the name Chastity [ wink, wink ], but I was never allowed to change my real name to it. So one day I sat down and using the brilliant mind that I have, decided to combine my name with it, coming up with the nickname, Chazmy. Pretty cool huh :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age:&lt;/strong&gt; 27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Likes:&lt;/strong&gt; There is no like in YnM, I simple love it!! Good fan fiction, art, anime, Yaoi, Yuri, horror movies, movies that are good in general, games [they have to be of a certain kind, like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame those kinds], clubbing, cosplay, alcohol, wicca, magic ,exotic things,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;pretty things&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dislikes&lt;/strong&gt; close minded people, dishonestly, weak minded people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strengths&lt;/strong&gt; Is believing in yourself. I don&apos;t give up until I accomplish what&amp;nbsp;I have started.&amp;nbsp;I am very&amp;nbsp;stubborn like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weaknesses;&lt;/strong&gt; You are only as weak as you make yourself to be. I try to see everything in a positive light. I always have a high hope of things and that could be my downfall on a lot of things. I tend to take life as it comes which could eliminate the fact that there might be consequences.When I want something&amp;nbsp;I just go for it. I also have a weak spot for pretty things too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/strong&gt; People who think they know everything and completely disregard anyone else&apos;s opinions over their own,&amp;nbsp;Annoying people,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/strong&gt; Drawing, writing, reading, learning new things. A jack of all trades, it is better to know a little of everything then a lot of something. learning unexplained and mysterious things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Talents:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Gifted in art, I can dance really well; I have been told I have an outwardly crazy imagination. I’m good with computers and typing, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/strong&gt; number one burgundy, purple, white, brown&amp;nbsp;and then gray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite Food&lt;/strong&gt; anything sweet. But if it had to come to eating. I love to try different foods. eating out at resturants [ not fast food] I hate fast food., but fine dinning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mature or Immature?&lt;/strong&gt; I am both really. I can turn it on or off like a switch. There is a time and place for everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/strong&gt; I would see myself as a leader. I am confident in my decision making. but there are times I do need help as well. How else would I learn if I do not ask questions and out way the possibilities?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/strong&gt; Optimist, I see every thing in a positive view. Even if under the surface I am so a pessimist, I just want to blow everybody around me up. I&apos;d never show it. I feel people don&apos;t need to add my undercover pessimist to there list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/strong&gt; Hum.... let me think about this one. I tend to talk to myself often. I even do it so loud at times I think someone might hear me so I tell myself to shut up. They look at me like I&apos;m crazy.Maybe&amp;nbsp;I am. Another thing is that&amp;nbsp;I can be&amp;nbsp;extremely arrogant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/strong&gt; Logic, I am so logic in my decision I could become a forensic scientist. I am always out weighing the outcome of things and that is probably why I missed that damn shoes sale they were having on black Friday. Thinking to myself and talking no less. &apos; if I go to the store around five in the morning I will get there before half the crowd even shows, but if I don&apos;t I could get another hour or two of sleep. The sale dose not end til eleven, this little discussion with myself went on for about three hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/strong&gt; It was once said that fear is like making a simple decision. if you think to hard on how it scares you then how will you ever overcome it. If there is one thing&amp;nbsp;I could say I fear, it&apos;s failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Life is only as good as you make it to be..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/strong&gt; Muraki, He is fascinating .He a contradiction to everything he represents, doctor-murder, beautiful-deceiving, crazy- misunderstood and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?] &lt;/strong&gt;Hisoka, he just annoys me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anything else?&lt;/strong&gt; What else could you possibly want to know about me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grace us with your presence!

XD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; I usually don&apos;t get irritated with people that easily. I only hate it when people act on prejudices or discriminate against others. I also hate to see anyone make my friends upset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Computer-ing, Playstation2-ing, Photoshop-ing, LJ-ing, getting lost, going fandom shopping, playing, sport-ing, reading, writing, drawing, coloring, studying, watching, daydreaming.

  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Rebecca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; Ky online, Becker offline&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 18&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Freedom, technology, creativity, wide open spaces, cats, sweets, cute things (kittens, puppies, penguins, moe-style art, schoolgirl skirts, etc.), money, hot drinks (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc.), simplicity, cold cereal, flames, feeling pretty, music, physical activity (especially competitive things), my car (Roy-baby~)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Loud/obnoxious people, small children (though I certainly tolerate them), red tape, the phrase &quot;wasting your talent,&quot; the end of Really Cool or Fun Things, blatant stupidity, censorship, group members whose laziness cause the entire group to suffer, cruelty, wastefulness, the price of gasoline :(, having things decided for me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Resilient (physically and mentally), supportive, loyal, compassionate, hard working (when given a cause), eager to please, not easily depressed for long, calm under stress, trusting, loving, accepting, emotionally strong, able to go against popular opinion (not very suceptible to &quot;groupthink&quot;), generally fairly happy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Resistant to change (settings, arrangements, balance of power), easily deceived, unmotivated, quick to jump to conclusions, easily annoyed, easily taken advantage of, vain, critical, incredibly selfish and childish moments, disdainful of authority, arrogant, vicious and unforgiving when crossed, martyr complex, I TALK TOO MUCH CAN YOU TELL? X)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Repetitive sounds (beeping, scratched CDs, really loud clocks), herd mentality, lack of table manners, watching people eat (asjkgfajkgfa eewwwww)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Reading, writing, surfing the internet (especially finding things for people), dancing (when nobody&apos;s watching ^^&apos;), shopping, making graphics, listening to music (nearly 24/7; when not on my computer, via iPod or car radio)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; Writing, learning quickly, seeing the big picture, visualising things, adapting to match the situation, sensing emotions, seeing deeper meanings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Black. It matches just about every other color, and it&apos;s very slimming! ^^&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; I really love sushi, but also pizza. Sort of a tie depending on my mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature?&lt;/b&gt; I can be mature when the situation calls for it, but I am normally somewhere inbetween. Complete immaturity is difficult for me to grasp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; I am able to lead well and efficiently, but I prefer not to unless I truly need to. But, then, need takes a variety of forms that include &quot;the current leader will get us all screwed over.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; On average, a slight tendency towards pessimism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;s&gt;It wouldn&apos;t be lesser known if I told you, now would it?&lt;/s&gt; I&apos;ve always wanted to be a stripper as a side job (My main career would be practicing law). However, I have friends that would string me up if they knew this, hence the lesser-known part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m pretty impulsive unless it&apos;s something that I know will affect for a long time. Then, I take almost too long deciding. ^^&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Honestly? Having kids. Or losing my eyesight, especially in a painful/gruesome way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt; &quot;Life is what you make it and nobody can make it for you.&quot; I&apos;ve got no idea who said it (of if it was anyone famous at all), but I practically live by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Oriya. I&apos;ll admit, it&apos;s mostly because he&apos;s another long-haired, gorgeous swordsman. &amp;hearts; But also because of how devoted he is to Muraki (and how cute he is in the side story with Ukyou)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t really have a least favorite, but I guess if I had to pick, Tsuzuki. *shot* It may be insensative, but it irks me that he&apos;s still depressed about something that happened so long ago. Sure, he suffered a lot of trauma, but there&apos;s such a thing as moving on with your (un)life. Still, I don&apos;t dislike him. He&apos;s just my least favorite of the cast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; ~&amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence! Please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut.

  <title>No, no I have no money!! &amp;hearts;</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ynm_rating/100523.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Christina Stoddard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; I do not have a nickname but just do not call me &lt;b&gt;Tina&lt;/b&gt; or I&apos;ll be very angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 20 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Oh, you know a little of this a little of that. I like holding hand, long walks on the beach, blue eyes... Wait that&apos;s for an entirely different application!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; The word &lt;i&gt;moist&lt;/i&gt; and rainy days. Not too fond of spiders either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Well, I&apos;m quite a good listener. I am generally a caring person and I am a hard and dedicated worker. I guess my determination would be a strong point too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Despite being a caring person I can be very selfish. I am a little moody at times and have a bit of a temper. I make sure those things do not hinder my everyday life though. I&apos;m brutally honest and I think that is a weak point because I sugar coat nothing and sometimes that gets me into trouble. I am also have a hard time trusting others I guard myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Hm, I&apos;m not too keen on people that take themselves too seriously. I you have to be able to laugh at yourself!    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt;I like to play video games in my spare time, I walk a lot(is that a hobby?) and um, my job? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; Funeral directing? I honestly do not think I have a talent. I mean I&apos;m pretty regular. I can&apos;t sing, dance or play an instrument. I&apos;m really good at algebra? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Gray. Although it&apos;s technically not a colour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Um, I don&apos;t really have one but if I have to pick I would saw strawberries but only when they are sour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt; I have been told that I&apos;m very mature. I have to agree but on one condition. I know how to relax around the people that are close to me, like friends and family. However, when meeting new people I&apos;m polite to the extreme. Er, if you read my journal you&apos;ll probably think to yourself &quot;whoa? What&apos;s she smoking? She&apos;s totally immature!&quot;. You could be right but I like to think of my journal as my place where I don&apos;t have to act in a certain way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; I am leader because no one can do things as good as I can. &lt;strike&gt;narcissism&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;big&gt;Pessimist&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; Oh my. Well, people most certainly have no idea how sad I can get from time to time. I work in a funeral home so people automatically think that I have no emotion or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; I am very logical. My impulse is on holiday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Failing. I even hate the world. I&apos;m extremely determined. When I see something I want I go for it and I don&apos;t stop until I have it. Failing for me is a dirty word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase?&lt;/b&gt; I hope lyrics count! I&apos;m not much of a quote person.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I&apos;ve been talking drunken gibberish, falling in and out of bars, trying to find some explanation here, for the way some people are...&quot; That&apos;s a lyric from David Gray&apos;s Sail Away. That line reminds me of myself in college when I was a little confused about who I was. I talked a lot of drunken gibberish and I fell in and out of a lot of bars. It&apos;s something I&apos;m not particularly proud of but it happened and I feel it happened for a reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Oriya! I could fangirl about him all day really. I like the fact that he is somewhat shrouded in mystery. I think he is a strong character, because he well, he has to be! He is Muraki&apos;s only known friend. And he owns a brothel. That&apos;s pretty sweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Actually I honestly do not have a least favorite. They all have their right to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g157/x_yazoo_x/100_0606.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g157/x_yazoo_x/me.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>Got stamped as Tatsumi a while ago, and I wanted to see if I&apos;ve changed any. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Aynsley &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; Michiru&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Watching criminal/law/forensic/medical shows on TV (Fictional and nonfictional), anime/manga, Cosplay/sewing/designing, rping, writing/reading fanfiction, listening to music, talking to friends, thinking/philosophizing, yaoi, learning strange/interesting facts, foreign languages, history, being pervy, sarcasm, wit, theorizing about things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Organized religion, homophobes/snobby/stuck-up/stupid/arrogant/lying/deceitful/closed-minded/racist/imbecilic/irresponsible/unrealistic/annoying people, being bored, having too much work and not enough time to sleep, not being in charge of a situation, extreme heat or cold, spiders, heights, being annoyed, people arguing with me over something they have no idea about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Loyal (to a fault if I care about someone), intelligent, good at giving advice, strong leader, creative, caring (mostly about those close to me), sarcasm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Bossy, moody, whiney, egotistic, stubborn, procrastinator, lazy, can be obsessive over things I like, and I can ramble when I&apos;m feeling talkative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; People pushing religion down someone else&apos;s throat, especially mine; I&apos;m agnostic/deist and quite proud, thank you very much. Also, people being against gay marriage just because they&apos;re homophobic or &quot;because the Bible says it&apos;s bad!&quot;. Stupidity, immaturity, not getting enough sleep so I can finish studying or doing all my work, and bad grammar also nag at me like nothing else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; See likes--add sleeping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m very artistic; I&apos;m particuliarly strong in writing, playing trumpet, and designing/sewing outfits and costumes. I also give good advice, since I see things objectively and don&apos;t try to hide the truth from people. I&apos;m also very good at picking up foreign languages and remembering strange little facts (as well as anything I&apos;ve studied that&apos;s not science or math related).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Black, blue, and purple. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Almost anything Asian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt; Very mature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; Leader. I hate being told what to do, and I can&apos;t stand not being in charge of a situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; Realist--which is the same as pessimist because everything isn&apos;t happy and when you realize that things stop looking so sunny all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; I am much more sentimental than I let on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; I act on logic, but formulate plans around what my emotions say is right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Being alone, or just not being able to help the people I care about. I feel useless when I can&apos;t do anything for them and I know they&apos;re hurting in some way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt; There&apos;s two I ADORE:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heart isn&apos;t something that&apos;s inside you. But whenever you think, whenever you remember someone, that&apos;s when heart is born. If you were the only person alive in the world, then heart wouldn&apos;t exist, now would it?--Shiba Kaien, BLEACH&lt;br /&gt;This is so true, and so many people overlook this fact. In order to have feelings, one needs to be around someone else, because otherwise we&apos;re cold and empty and alone. I think people need to look at this quote more often, sometimes, to stop thinking they&apos;re okay on their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Because we fall in love there&apos;s sadness.&quot;--YOU GONNA FEEL, PMK.&lt;br /&gt;SO, SO TRUE. The only reason there is sadness is because it&apos;s opposite (and positive half) is love and happiness. People love money, land, items, whatever--and that creates war, conflict, and other things that make people sad. We can&apos;t have one without the other. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; I like almost everyone, to tell the truth. Watari, Tatsumi, and Tsuzuki probably hit the top of the list, though. Watari is just such a spazz, but he&apos;s still really smart for all of that; Tatsumi I can relate to, and he&apos;s got that slightly psycho side that makes him whip out a butcher knife plus perfect dead-panned lines that NEVER fail to put me into hysterics; and Tsuzuki is just such a sweet, tormented, adorable puppy. He may be a bit dense and spazzy in his own right, but he means well and I love him to death for that. &lt;strike&gt;I can never have just one favorite character, can I? &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Probably Muraki. I never took to him, which is odd because I normally LOVE characters like him. I think it was just because I like everyone else so much more that he really turned me away from him (especially with the whole Hisoka thing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; Not really, no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence! Please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut.

I guess you could say my tongue is forked and often hides behind serpent fangs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;I act on impulse, meaning, it may be good, or may be bad.

Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Royal blue, violet, and chartruse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; I like sweets when paired with coffee.

Depends on my mood and the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;I have an odd mixed heritage. I&apos;m adopted to my grnadparents. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; As was already stated, I do tend to act on impulse or emotion, but if there is enough time, I will sit and weigh out all the plus and minuses of&amp;nbsp;a certain action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your biggest fear? &lt;/strong&gt;Loneliness, failure, darkness, closed shower curtains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Love is merely a by-product of one&apos;s infatuation.&quot; By Muraki himself. That&apos;s just been on my mind lately, since my relationships all seem to end badly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]: &lt;/strong&gt;Oriya, Hisoka, the count, Touda, Byakko, Suzaku, and Terauma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Yuma&amp;nbsp; and Saya.

I&apos;ve taken 8 years of voice training. I have lots of family problems. My mood swings get so bad at times that I&apos;d swear there were two mes in one body.&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m bisexual. My longest relationship was five years. I own 8 cats and 5 dogs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence!

What is the problem with staying a child these days what is the rush to be older and waste your childhood? Manners (how british of me!) people are loosing their manners these days and don&apos;t like being badgered by religious groups I will pick a religion when I&apos;m good and ready and on my own terms not by who shouts the loudest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Drawing - I&apos;ve cut out most now Theatre was huge in my life, I wish to take up swimming and hockey once more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; A &quot;good eye&quot; which is useful in a media industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Black,Purple,Silver and Blue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Changes every month but I adore sweets/cakes X3!!

There are no children of Satan, really&quot; - Armand, Interview with the Vampire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Muraki - I have this strange liking for antagonists his little obessions for Tsuzuki amauses me also esp. on the curise during the card game XD   Tatsumi I think it is kinda sweet that he cares for Tsuzuki still even if it is at a distance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Hisoka, it&apos;s not a huge dislike its only a mild one only as he does not seem to appeal to me much as the other characters do. His powers of strong empathy is good but I guess it unnerves me somewhat I tend to try and cover up my feelings for the the sake of others so that ability somehow frightens me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote a short film based on the idea of Shimingamis inspired from this manga and it won a competion *dork* I&apos;ll have to get around a filming it one day. I&apos;ve been studing Media for 5 years now o-o &lt;br /&gt;I have also caught the traveling bug, wanderlust is very much within me XD &lt;u&gt;Wish to visit:&lt;/u&gt; Japan, Venice (Italy), Kenya (Africa), Isreal, New Orleans (USA)  &lt;u&gt;Wish to go back:&lt;/u&gt; The Caribbean, New York City (USA), Finland (obessed with currently, maybe this summer!) :3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence!

More photos get taken when I have been drinking which I won&apos;t post... ¬_¬&apos;&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a160.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00577/95/18/577018159_l.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a822.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01327/12/82/1327322821_l.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How I usualy look - cover up o.o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a667.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/28/l_0379c189960a7cc98404e7436d73ef22.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish nose!

  <title>No, no, I have no money.  For you.</title>

  <description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Hmmm.&quot;&gt;I just wanted to be re-rated. It&apos;s probably been around 2 years since I first posted here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Abbey &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t really have any. My sisters call me &quot;chicken&quot; but that is for entirely unrelated reasons. This does not mean I want to be rated as a Gushoshin.&amp;nbsp; -_-;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 23.&amp;nbsp; Too old to be doing this, I&apos;m sure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; I like the ocean, and I like reading. I also like the martial arts; I&apos;m an instructor at the dojang I attend. I also love manga and anime, obviously, though I&apos;m not as obsessed as I could be if I let myself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; This could take a long time. 9_9 I&apos;d better not start. I don&apos;t like inconsiderate and uncaring people at all, which probably comes from being a considerate person myself. And I don&apos;t like bees. &lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Die bees.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m smart and careful. I&apos;m&amp;nbsp;a good teacher.&amp;nbsp;I like to assume the best of people when I first meet them, and I&apos;ll be a very loyal and caring friend unless you hurt me or treat me badly. I just find that most people don&apos;t have the patience to understand my personality.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;People vent to me sometimes, even if&amp;nbsp;I don&apos;t know them well.&amp;nbsp; I guess I like that people can trust me, but it isn&apos;t usually friendship.&amp;nbsp; But I&apos;m forgiving and sympathetic.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt;: I have a tendency to watch life go by, and not participate fully.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s&amp;nbsp;very hard for me to make friends, or even talk casually to people, because I just don&apos;t understand small talk and I&apos;m bad at it. I come across as&amp;nbsp;uncaring even though I&apos;m not. I completely fail at social situations, so even though I get lonely easily I avoid socializing. The older I get, the easier it gets to stop trying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; : I really dislike the sound of people chewing. I can&apos;t explain it, just. . .ew. And I find it annoying when people use incorrect words, but I&apos;m too polite to correct them.&amp;nbsp; I also really don&apos;t enjoy having people spring things on me at the last minute and I dislike being subject to things&amp;nbsp;I can&apos;t control.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It&apos;s tiring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Reading and writing; photography; taekwondo; I like other sports too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I play the piano and organ which is different, at least. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Slate blue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt;I love chicken. I love it so much. Fried chicken is best, and then lemon chicken, then barbeque, then a good garlic roasted. . .*sigh* And I love shrimp. When I go out to eat I have expensive tastes, but on the other hand I love corn dogs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt;It depends on the day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;Neither. I mean, I don&apos;t seek it out. Sometimes it is fun to watch someone who is bad at leading try to lead. . .but only for a little while. Leaders get too much credit though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; I am optimistic that someday I will be less pessimistic. Another term for this is &apos;delusional&apos;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; I can juggle. AND I enjoy it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; Intuition is probably a better word than impulse. I like structure, but I&apos;m not limited by it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your biggest fear?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;Do I have to?&amp;nbsp; . . .that one day life will be over and I won&apos;t have been useful to anything or anyone at all. And that I&apos;ll &lt;strike&gt;continue to&lt;/strike&gt;&amp;nbsp; regret my life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Dear Abbey: We have decided to publish your book. It&apos;s the best thing I&apos;ve ever read in my entire life. Everyone else here thinks so too. Here, have thousands of dollars.&amp;nbsp; Are you writing the sequel now?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You should be.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With love, Large Corporate Editor-in-Chief. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. You have a great personality.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, so it is not an actual quote.&amp;nbsp; But it &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; be. XD&amp;nbsp; Hey, even aloof people need validation.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I want to be a writer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; I can&apos;t choose. I&apos;m still surprised at how much I love this manga, even when it&apos;s been on hiatus so long and possibly forever. T_T &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;I even like Muraki. I mean, yeah, he&apos;s creepy. Part of his charm, even if it can be annoying. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; So. . .after filling this out I can&apos;t believe how different it sounds from my first application. i&apos;m getting old and jaded. -_-; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence! Please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut. (Describe your appearance if you have no photos.)&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I firmly believe that my picture does not belong on the internet. So, physical description. I&apos;m tall for a girl, 5&apos;11&quot;. I have blue eyes and light brown hair.  I wear glasses because contacts hurt my eyes. I have a bad habit of wearing athletic sweats when I&apos;m running errands and sometimes to class. But never to work. In fact, since where I work isn&apos;t always full of the greatest people, I see some really awful atrocities. How can you have any self-respect when you wear pajama pants to work? How? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

(In other words, impulse.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;what is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;favourite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt; &quot;The path of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.&quot; - William Blake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;If only God would give me a clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank!&quot; - Woody Allen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign -- that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.&quot; - Jonathan Swift&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;favourite yami no matsuei character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;s&gt;But I love them all! ;.;&lt;/s&gt; Oh, fine. If I must pick, I say Muraki Kazutaka. Mad, bad, and dangerous as he is, well, once there was some good in him (there still is - it&apos;s just hidden under a veil of madness).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;least favourite yami no matsuei character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; ... Uh, total cop-out, I know, but I have no least favourite. D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;anything else?&lt;/b&gt; When one stops by the penguin exhibit in a zoo, do take the courtesy of talking to the Emperor penguins first; it&apos;s quite rude to dismiss royalty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;grace us with your presence! please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut.&lt;/b&gt; Saaaaa. Must I? .... Oh, fine. All I have are &lt;a href=&quot;http://tashiro-kun.livejournal.com/95706.html&quot;&gt;these photos&lt;/a&gt; from about... uh... a year ago? Eh heh. Just bear with me and keep in mind that 1.) my hair is much longer and less frizzy, 2.) I really don&apos;t look as much a jackass in real life as I do in a photo, and 3.) these were taken, uhm, about a year ago. &amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/small&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Christabel (not really, but I dislike my real name and fell in love with this name after reading Coleridge’s poem so…)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nickname:&lt;/b&gt; Not telling&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 20     -sigh- *so old* -sigh-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Reading, manga &amp; anime, music &amp; movies, CSI TV series, the internet, yaoi, living downtown, Nietzsche, winter &amp; snow, food (especially deserts), Canada, purses, roses, taking pictures, gold jewelry, swimming, Edgar Allan Poe, and way too many other things to name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Tardy people, close-minded people, school-work, summer *yes you read that right, I absolutely hate warm weather*, rain, humidity, attention whores, rude people, religious extremists, slackers, stilettos, bugs, dogs, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; Respectful, tactful, honest, super organized, open-minded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; Impatient, easy to anger, paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, trapped inside of myself. And junk food. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Must always walk on the right side if I’m walking with someone…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Reading &amp; writing, listening to music &amp; watching movies, surfing the net, new interest in learning about Japanese culture, collect movie tickets, avoiding school-work until the last minute *shame on me*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; Play violin, read really fast (talent?), semi-mediocre writer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Color:&lt;/b&gt; Black, red&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Food:&lt;/b&gt; Pasta, chocolate, ice cream, cakes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or Immature? &lt;/b&gt; Somewhere in the middle, depends on the situation really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or Follower?&lt;/b&gt; Leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimist or Pessimist?&lt;/b&gt; Again, somewhere in the middle, depending on the situation. Though I am a bit of an idealist…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is one lesser-known fact about you?&lt;/b&gt; I am terrified of committed relationships. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you act on logic or impulse/emotion?&lt;/b&gt; Mostly impulsive, though I do act logically if I think it through beforehand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is your biggest fear?&lt;/b&gt; Being buried alive or catching fire and burning to death. My parents dying. Being alone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite quote or phrase? [explain if desired]&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight I&apos;ll sing my songs again,&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll play the game and pretend.&lt;br /&gt;But all my words come back to me&lt;br /&gt;In shades of mediocrity,&lt;br /&gt;Like emptiness and harmony--&lt;br /&gt;I need someone to comfort me. -- Simon and Garfunkel&apos;s &quot;Homeward Bound.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can try for years to deny the things that are tearing at your soul, but they will not go away. They thrive in the shadowlands. -- Sheila Walsh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -- Edgar Allan Poe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Echoes of laughter,&lt;br /&gt;Dancing in distant corridors,&lt;br /&gt;With the tears of hearts undone.&lt;br /&gt;Dreams we chase after,&lt;br /&gt;Give us the key to any door,&lt;br /&gt;We are what we become. -- Michael W. Smith&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And many more *sheepish grin*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Tsuzuki (I know, how original *grin*). He’s just awesome! It’s easy to relate to him. He has his own problems and skeletons in the closet, but he’s still plowing through life. He wears a mask like most people and has a lot of issues, but he never gives up and remains eternally hopeful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I have to admit I’m also a closet Muraki fan. He’s just so… *fans herself* he’s just such a complex and screwed up character, I can’t help but find him fascinating. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least Favorite Yami no Matsuei Character [why?]:&lt;/b&gt; Tsubaki (she was supper annoying and utterly irritating), Maria&apos;s stepmother (what a bitch!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything else?&lt;/b&gt; I just hope I don’t get Tsubaki… please god not Tsubaki…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grace us with your presence! Please post at least two pictures of yourself, but not more than five, and all behind an LJ-cut. (Describe your appearance if you have no photos.)&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, too paranoid to post a pic…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: 5’5, long black hair past my waist, dark brown eyes, semi-pale skin, 3 moles on my face (above my lip on the left, on my right cheek, next to my left eye), round face, wear make-up, dress almost exclusively in black, have a scar on my forehead from when I had chicken-pox. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
