Oh I love these too! 1. What is your obsession? Everyone has one, even if they rarely admit it to themselves. What's yours? Internet and music. 2. What truly scares you? Failure - failure to achieve my goals, failure to love and be loved, failure to be who others see me as (*glances at zus*), and anything else that comes with that. 3. What sets you into a rage? Selfish, unthinking and/or vindictive actions, especially from people who should know better. 4. What inspires you to noble, often-times self-sacrificing actions? Love. 5a What is your favorite story? Son of the Shadows by Juliet Marillier a. WhyParallels between this book and my life; not necessarily obvious ones but I can find the links. 5b. Who is your fictional hero?Liadan from above novel. a. Why?Strong, patient and loving. She also stood up for what she thought was right, even if it meant going against certain higher beings. 6. Who are the three people who, in hindsight, you wish you had paid more attention to before they left your life?I can only really think of two girls I met at a maths/science/technology summer school a few years ago. I was close to them at the time, but we eventually lost contact and sometimes I wish I had've tried to do something to stop that, just because they were sweet girls. I also really miss my grandfather and wish that I could remember him, but I couldn't control his time of death (I was 2 at the time) so I don't think that really counts. 7. How often do you have to be right? Or, another way to look at it is how often are you willing to be wrong?Well of course I always enjoy being right, but I'm not above being wrong if I can see my errors and learn from them. It's when people say I'm wrong and I know I'm right (or at least closer to the truth than they are) that I get annoyed! 8. Name five things you would LIKE to be seen or known as.Loving, selfless, loyal, wise, NOT WEIRD! =_= 9. Name five things that you are SUPPOSED to be.Not sure about which sense you mean, but according to those who know (or 'know') me I'm quiet, somewhat in need of protecting, strange, stubborn and intelligent. I highly object to two and three, and five is a little inaccurate too 10. Name five things that you are TRYING to be.Loving, selfless, loyal, wise, and able to trust myself. 11. Name three things that you would NOT LIKE to be seen/known as.Immature, stupid, selfish. 12. Name three things that you are NOT SUPPOSED to be.If I go by the same thingy as Q9 I'm apparently not strong, a normal teenager, or a wonderful role model. 13. Name three things you are TRYING NOT to be.Selfish, petty, blind.

1. What is your obsession? Everyone has one, even if they rarely admit it to themselves. What's yours?Forums, music and books. Especially books. Can't breathe without them. 2. What truly scares you?Failure, too... but what scares me most of all is the emptiness you have inside when there's no love to give. 3. What sets you into a rage?Selfish people, the feeling of being misunderstood, racism/other forms of discrimination, people who put other people down for no good reason at all... and lying. If you tell a lie to me and I find out about it you'd better run away fast. 4. What inspires you to noble, often-times self-sacrificing actions?Love. 5a What is your favorite story?Ash: A Secret History... it's written by Mary Gentle. a. WhyIt's quite complicated, fun to read and just so so beautiful. 5b. Who is your fictional hero?Ash, from above novel. And after that it is Bran from the book Muirrin mentioned already. a. Why?Ash is just so great. She's not truly afraid of anything, I think, and her ideas and quick wit are very nice as well. And I love Bran because he just makes me *wibble*. 6. Who are the three people who, in hindsight, you wish you had paid more attention to before they left your life?One boy from my therapy group comes to mind. He saw my spirit guide and some other things and I have the feeling that he was a higher vibrational child. I wish I could see him again to feel how he's doing but I don't know where he is now. I can't think of any others at the moment. Mostly I know people too well and so I pay enough attention to them in general. 7. How often do you have to be right? Or, another way to look at it is how often are you willing to be wrong?I love being right about something, but I'm able to accept the fact that I can be wrong about some things too. I just hate it when I know I'm right and people say I'm wrong. 8. Name five things you would LIKE to be seen or known as.Powerful, loving, wise, different and healing. 9. Name five things that you are SUPPOSED to be.A girl just like everyone else who can be put in a box with a label on it, I think. That's the only thing which comes to mind. 10. Name five things that you are TRYING to be.Wise, able to live a life without limits, not psycho-somatically ill anymore... 11. Name three things that you would NOT LIKE to be seen/known as.Uncaring, selfish and immature. 12. Name three things that you are NOT SUPPOSED to be.I'm not supposed to be a normal teenager, not supposed to be a sponge which soaks up every emotion and atmosphere in sight and I'm not supposed to be the somebody I've been pretending to be for the past 13 years or something. 13. Name three things you are TRYING NOT to be.A person without an opinion, without love to give and receive and without an open mind to accept the world with.

1. What is your obsession? Everyone has one, even if they rarely admit it to themselves. What's yours? Neopets. Seriously. And Anthony Hopkins flicks, for now. Oh, and Pulp Fiction!
2. What truly scares you? Being bound to someone or something. A lack of opinion, Lack of independence. And chatspeak. I'm terrified just thinking about it.
3. What sets you into a rage? Stupidity and not being listened to.
4. What inspires you to noble, often-times self-sacrificing actions? Creativity. As odd as it sounds.
5a What is your favorite story? Childrens' or otherwise? Childrens: The Velveteen Rabbit (lol.) Otherwise: The Phantom Of The Opera
a. Why The Phantom Of The Opera is beautifully written. I think it has been depicted poorly in film, though. The Velveteen Rabbit is because I recently read it and rekindled the love. Plus, the pictures are awesome.
5b. Who is your fictional hero? Hmm... Probably Clarice Starling. 'Cause she's a girl and can seriously kick ass. Even though she wound up brain washed in the end, she put up a fight.
a. Why? I think I explained that above.
6. Who are the three people who, in hindsight, you wish you had paid more attention to before they left your life? Aunt Jerry and Mamu.
a. Why? I never really got a chance to get to know Mamu or Aunt Jerry; they died. Aunt Jerry was an artist and I always loved looking at her smurf drawings, but I never got to see what was behind them. Mamu had the prettiest dogs and Nick and I would usually play with them more than socialize with her and Papu.
7. How often do you have to be right? Or, another way to look at it is how often are you willing to be wrong? It's not really about me being right as it is me being heard and acknowledged. I'm willing to be wrong if I gather some kind of payoff; I learn something from my error.
8. Name five things you would LIKE to be seen or known as. Intelligent, Independent, An individual, Wise, Trustworthy.
9. Name five things that you are SUPPOSED to be. Kind, caring, considerate, loyal, loving
10. Name five things that you are TRYING to be. Open, compassionate, less quiet, more extroverted, more truthful.
11. Name three things that you would NOT LIKE to be seen/known as. Unfaithful, a liar, heartless.
12. Name three things that you are NOT SUPPOSED to be. Lost, someone else, fake.
13. Name three things you are TRYING NOT to be. Cold towards people (It isn't working too well, but I'm trying), manipulative, cruel.
