1. What’s your zodiac sign and do you think it’s description fits you?
Libra! and I think it describes me pretty well. Even if I'm an introvert, I can be a bit of a social butterfly. and all the things I hear of 'Best friend to have, but a terrible enemy' fit pretty well too.
2. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? (based on personality, not looks)
That's hard to say, really. Because sometimes I act like I'm five, but other times I'll just have random discussions about politics and world policy. I'm pretty mature for my age. So I'd probably guess by personality, at 25.
3. What’s your height and are you happy with it?
5'2. I get a little annoyed at being so short sometimes; mostly because all my cousins are much taller; but I'm pretty happy this height. But that's probably due to the generally positive 'I love most of my self unconditionally' view I've got going.
4. List 5 things you love about yourself.
My eyes. They're blue with this gold ring so they come out green and I really love that. I love my build too because I'll look in my mirror, thinking 'oh, I don't like my body' but all I need is a second look to go 'are you stupid? people would kill for your figure, you're gorgeous' so that can be a good self-esteem boost.
I like my intelligence and how well I do at school, how my brain works and retains so much. I love the way I'm generally open minded and can try to be supportive and compassionate to most people, and if I don't understand I'm still willing to learn.
Lastly, I think I'd say I love my optimism. As a kid I was a real pessimist, but somewhere that changed to unbridled optimism and I kind of like that I assume the best of people; even if that can make me naive at times. I think positivity is great thing to have, whether about myself, the world, or others.
5. List 5 insecurities you have.
My hair. It's a frizzy mess and even though I'm caucasian, it's afro puffy and I am always worried it'll be judged for not keeping itself in place.
My personality. I have a bit of a learning disorder and even if my case doesn't affect my learning, it affects my social skills. Often time's I'll worry people will simply /know/ there's something not quite right, or will get annoyed, or judge, or I'll do something wrong thanks to lack of knowledge.
My intelligence, at times. Because being a know it all nerd can get on people's bad side. Especially when they jsut assume you're being smart to show off.
There are a couple others, but nothing worth note.
6. Do you think you can overcome your insecurities?
Probably. It'll take a lot of the afformentioned positivity and some good friends and maybe a couple years, but I can learn to act right, or how to be, and learn not to worry as well.
Not particularly. I follow the tennants of Wicca, but I've never been that religious. I make a couple 'hey, guys, you listening?' kind of prayer things, but I've never been one for full out religious following. I jsut kind of believe the ideas and try to follow them generally. I don't do much of the prayer and worship stuff. Or magic, in the case of Wicca.
8. If your life was a novel, what would be the title and how would your story end?
hmm... well, my story's jsut beginning so a title is kind of hard to decide. maybe... "The life and times of an eccentric birder"? I don't know. I want to do Ornithology but I've jsut started university. How would it end? well, It's hardly begun. Not fair to judge that far.
9. What would you do differently if you knew no one would judge you?
I'd be freer and happier. Be less self conscious and probably let loose a little more. I'd let all three feet of afro hair just frizz out.
10. Do you smoke? If yes, when did you start? If no, do you plan on doing it in the future?
No. And I never will. Just the smell and taste of distant second hand smoke really sickens me. I have to hold my breath walking by smokers. I could never smoke.
11. How’s your relationship with your parents?
My relationship with my mom is great. Sometimes she get's annoyed because I'm a bit of clutter bug and somewhat lazy, but mostly we're great. She trusts me and my sister very much and she treats us honestly and fairly. My dad I had a great relationship with, and was very close to. In fact, when he and mom got seperated, we had an even better relationship with both our parents! He got remarried though and he's kind of fallen out with me and others, though.
12. How’s your relationship with your sibling/siblings? If you don’t have any siblings, would you like siblings?
I am extremely close to my sister. We don't always interact; we like our alone time; but sometimes we can jsut talk for five hours straight on literally anything. We're not even twenty and we will end up discussing politics, world history, the role of Canada in WWII, all sorts of stuff. I'm close to my cousins too, about as close as most people end up being with a semi-distant sibling. But yeah, I love my sister and even when we argue it's over trivial stuff. I adore how close we are, and cherish that, because I know not everyone does. We're only 15 months apart so we're almost like twins sometimes, too. We're very close and I wouldn't change it for anything.
