All About You (Part II) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tinuviel of Denton · 04-12-2005, 05:52 PM

Well... Since I haven't been here in over a year--I think I stopped getting on sometime the summer before last. o.O--I figure it's about time I reupdate this thing. I can't even remember if I did one on the original.

Name (that you go by): Depends on where I am. Kiki, Aki, and Sammie are the most common.
Age: 18
Occupation: College student. w00t!
Future Aspirations: To graduate, not lose my mind, and I'm debating between law and a career in theatre. Yes. I know.
Goal in life: To live.
Short term goals: To pass my American Heritage class. Where I am hanging by a thread. (Probably a bad time to renew my interest in the Downs, but what can ya do?)
Passion: *ponderponder* Probably my boyfriend, my best friend, and the rest of my dear friends. Also fantasy. And writing.
Hobbies: Roleplaying, admin on Citrine, writing, drawing, reading, and being alternately philosophical and silly.
Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): Teasing my English professor... and getting away with it. Also for Alexander. (If you're really curious about that, feel free to ask.)

Fave book: Anything by Tolkien, Lawhead, Hans Bemman, C.S. Lewis, Diana Gabaldon (all right, so I like well-written romance, so what?), um... more authors who I cannot think of at the moment, butyeah. I think Hans Bemman probably tops the list, so The Stone and the Flute.
Fave movie: The Lord of the Rings, the original Star Wars trilogies, Dark Crystal, the Phantom of the Opera, and a few classic Disney movies I'm embarrassed to name.
Fave sport: Unless ballet counts, none.
Fave store: Either Recycled Books at home, or World Market, or some hobby store. I like crafts.
Fave music: At the moment, anime soundtracks, Voltaire (*hums The Headless Waltz*), Hayley Westenra, Maire Brennan, and assorted movie/musical soundtracks.

What you can't stand: Certain people. Who are traitors. But, ahem. Also, I can't stand Mary-Sues, people who are stupid, and people who can't take hints when bashed over the head with them.
What you plain dislike: Spelling/grammar errors (but watch me make at least one in this post and miss it entirely), bureaucracy, and getting up early for my eight o clock class.
Who you admire: Um... Cluu, Jackamy, Reist, Cat, Seth, Twiet... (Yes, I am aware that none of you know these people.)
What you most love to do: Read, write, and roleplay. Also other things, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear about those.
Your self-confessed flaws: I'm lazy, I procrastinate, and I have a mean sense of humor.
What intrigues/fascinates you: Human nature. And that just covers everything, doesn't it?
What scares you: Dark, men, dying/not dying, not living, and my GPA.
Quotation to live by: "What went before was only a faint dream of the beginning.

not all,
no,
very far from all."

Additional comments: Well, I'm back.

We'll see if I stick around this time.

Name: Benjamin Goller
Age: 18 at the moment... Apr. 1987
Occupation: Student... soon at college
Future Aspirations: Become a teacher of either history, or literature, etc.
Goal in life: Enjoy my work, get (and stay) married, and end up being that old guy all the kids love to play with.

Short term goals: Stave off senioritis as long as possible (okay okay, so I've failed already) Get my leg healed so I can walk again... Rar
Passions: Jesus, Tolkien, History (primarily WWII)
Hobbies: Hmm see above and include bicycling and card-playing
Famous for: Marching in the Fiesta Bowl with the most devastating flu and a temp of 106.

Favorite books: the Bible, naturally anything by Tolkien, anything by Ernie Pyle, true WWII stories (Great Escape, Band of Brothers), and historical fiction
Favorite movie: Dead Poets Society and/or Lawrence of Arabia
Favorite sport: Bicycling and frisbee
Favorite store: Good q... No idea
Favorite music: Contemporary Christian, 70s and 80s rock, random spatterings of modern alternative

What you can't stand: Grudges, people who aren't in control of themselves. And bad teachers
Your self-confessed flaws: Procrastinator, liar, actually a really good liar.

What intrigues/fascinates you: Somebody said it well: "Whatever I don't already know." Yeah...
What you most love to do: Talk with friends, especially when in extreme moods whether it's delirously happy or ponderously serious.
What scares you: Spiders when they leave my sight. If I can see them, they die: if I know they're there and I can't see them... You'd better watch out, cause I'm flippin' out. EDIT: I just noticed this, but it's really odd how this fits in with my quote below.
Quotation to live by: Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Who you admire: Jesus, my grandfather, my favorite teachers, the infantry (thanks to Ernie Pyle), and all those crazy-awesome people with more green boxes than me.
