Favorite Foods: Just about anything chinese; chocolate, strawberry candy, mint. Odd thing - I'm not overly fond of miso, or tofu. As for drinks....root beer, peppermint tea, chai, chocolate milk (go ahead and snicker....)
Hated foods: I don't eat pork. It's just gross. My dislikes are rather random, such as mushrooms, spinach, coconut, cherries, celery...
Favorite Colors: Purple, black, silver, blue, crimson.
What most wouldn't know: I wear glasses; I hate having my picture taken; I have some inborn aversion to making eye contact; I'm very attached to a stuffed lion of mine, I have no issues with sharing a bed, I hate the taste of alcohol.
Unexpected Loves: Having The Lord of All Things Poetic play music I've given him, fur coats, trenchcoats, my hide plushie, the smell of new books, new ties, hearing people tell me I'm cute, people mistaking me for being older than I am, having people recognize me from my traveling choir and praising our sound, wearing jewelry and/or clothing with heraldic charges, scaring people, sleeping in till at least 10 am (I'm not the type who wakes up after noon.)
Irks: Math tests, going to school, closed-minded people, screaming babies, posers, homophobes, Bible thumpers, people who won't stop arguing even when it's obvious their side doesn't hold up, yappy dogs, cold floors, waking up early, people who just don't shut up, airheads, overly cheerful salesbitches, those salespeople at the mall who are so pushy that they will actually grab you.
Best way to win me over: A strange sense of humor mixed with a love of japanese culture; proving that you have better makeup skills than I do. Also, giving me mint things works pretty well...^^;;
Anyways...
I'm a Capricorn with a Scorpio moon. Fun mix, I can say that much. I'm very reliable and loyal, but I'm shy and prone to secrecy and jealousy. I can also lash out, but that's usually only directed to one particular person...
Nationality-wise, I'm a total mutt. I can't even trace everything I am. Only ones I can prove are French, Polish, Dutch, Ukranian, German, Czech, Russian, and Mongolian. I know I'm related to King Henri du Navarre (Henry the 4th of France). Fun, huh?
My main loves are art and music. I'm in a school choir, a church choir, and a travelling choir. I play guitar and violin, but I suck at both. Maybe if I work a little harder, I won't suck so much.
I have an inordinate fascination with Japanese culture. I'm studying Japanese, but not formally. I want to go there at some point. After all, I have an unhealthy attraction to asian boys. Yes, I get heckled for it because I live in the armpit of the universe, where we're all whitetrash, save for the few like me.
When I have money, I buy manga. I'm currently in the market for FAKE and Angel Sanctuary...but I'm kinda broke right now. As for anime, my sister Bessie and I had fun tracking down all 5 discs of Weiss Kreuz. That's a good show, if you can get over all the girl-drama. We really like the fringe titles, can you tell?
I'm addicted to video games, especially RPGs. I played FF5, FF6, Persona, Wild Arms...I also fell for the Kagero series, and now I <3 Fatal Frame (and II, too), but I play DDR like a maniac. I once hurt myself and had to wear an ankle brace for two weeks. Current obsession is for Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga.
I went to a catholic school here in western PA. Small school; less than 200 kids. The teachers are fantastic, except for my math teacher junior year. Yes, folks, I have the uniform. I like wearing ties with it, though. I'm enough of a freak as-is, and I throw a love of ties into the mix....for a while, I wore a dog collar, complete with tag.
I'm currently going to a university in Pittsburgh, majoring in Spanish. I wanted to study French, but this is the only place I can go, and they don't offer French. crud.
I really want to study martial arts, but don't have the option. I have a bokken, and now I have a katana. I've been trained on rifle and pistol, and soon to be bow and arrow...I have a friend who knows kung fu and said he wants to teach me - please do!
I tend to just not fit in. I'm used to it, though.
I'll add more as I think of it...
Une petite note pour ma soeur:
Depuis longtemps, je suis connue comme "la petit soeur de Laure."
Je voudrais que ça change.
Nous sommes différentes comme le jour et la nuit.
Cesse de dire à tout le monde que nous sommes 'soeurs'.
Je ne veux pas m'associer avec toi.
Laisse-moi tranquille.
And thanks to vector.wolf for helping me with this background!

Is it strange that I have an odd fascination with the French Revolution?

I'd like to meet:

I'd say that I'm not picky, but after being signed up with Hot or Not (?emid=KYBLHLA) I've learned that's not really the case...
I'll talk to just about anyone, if the conditions are right.
If you like me, then message me! I like meeting new people, plut please remember that I'm rather shy.
Please note: I have no respect for druggies or closed-minded people. I'm pretty "out there", so closed-minded people won't "get" me. I also get upset at people with bad grammar. There are a few exceptions to this rule, however.
If you still feel the need to talk to me, messaging works of course. I have aim, yes, but you have to ask me first.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT WASTE MY COMMENT SPACE WITH "THANKS FOR THE ADD" OR "WHAT'S UP." IF YOU WANT TO TALK, MESSAGE ME. I WON'T BITE, I SWEAR.

Jackasses from East Liverpool: I am not interested. I do not want to date you. Fuck off.

Movies:

I don't get to the movies; I've only been to a movie theatre once in my life. So please excuse me.
I'm a sucker for horror movies. Not too keen on scifi, but I like horror. My mother has fun forcing me to watch the old horror movies...
Ju-On no Grudge, The Prophecy, The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, Psycho, Village of the Damned, Sleepy Hollow, Thir13en Ghosts, Gen-X Cops, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away.
For some odd reason, I can't think of any others right now. I'll get back to you all on this when I can remember more.

Television:

I don't watch a whole lot of tv, but here goes:
Most Haunted (I love Derek Acorah, maybe a little too much) Ghost Hunters, Proof Postitive of the Paranormal, Unsolved Mysteries, Haunted Hotels, (any other ghost-type show; they're few and far between), Forensic Files, iDetective, Mythbusters (my mother HATES that show!), Monk, SNL, MadTV, Kids in the Hall, The Simpsons, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Win Ben Stein's Money, Teen Titans (for a time. Once Terra was introduced, I lost interest), comedy specials when they're on and it's someone good....
I like historical shows and learny programs...*raises eyebrows and trails off* The weirder thing is I usually watch them when I get up for school...

Books:

Fantasy all the way, baby. I liked Anne Rice before she wrote strictly for money. I also like Oscar Wilde, James Clavell, C.S. Friedman...
Does manga cound here? If it does, then there isn't room to write everything! *laughs* After all, I get Shonen Jump.
My mother keeps trying to get me to read Heinlein. I don't like sci-fi though... If you have the time, I insist - buy and read "A Massive Swelling" by Cintra Wilson. You won't stop laughing the whole time, I promise.

Heroes:

Famous: (not all here in the US):
Derek Acorah.
Yuki Shimizu (extra points to anyone who knows who that is without looking her up!), Kaori Yuki, Kazuya Minekura, CLAMP, Hideto Matsumoto, Hideto Takarai, Kaoru Niikura, Touru Niimura, Daisuke Ando[u], Toshimasa Hara (to a point), Johnny Rzeznik, Johnny McGovern, Alan Cummings, George Carlin, Dane Cook, Dom Irera, Patton Oswalt, Carlos Mencia.
Historical:
Henry the 4th of France, Louis the 14th of France, Ludwig the 2nd of Germany, Amakusa Shiro, Martin Luther, Joan of Arc, Oscar Wilde
The Ones I Know Personally:
~first and foremost, my bestest buddy, Daralis. =P You calcium-deprived troll.~
My best (and pretty much only local) buddy, D-chan .
My bendy travel-and-clothing buddy, Gumby .
My old religion teacher, Mr. O; my old math teacher, M-C; my french teacher, Madame Z; my choir director, Zarta; The Lord of All Things Poetic (you slut, you- where would I be without you?) ; Le'lie; Bite-Sized Buddy; 'Lissa ; My boss; my other boss; my bandmate Adam ; my old buddy Aari , my 'pet' Xio . Heck, my own mother (she's a trip).

Bird Flu, I blow my nose at you.

Randomness About Me

I know I wrote a freakin' essay in my profile, but I figure some random stuff might clue you all in a little more on what makes up my demented personality. 1) I like getting dirty. Read into tha...
