Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. The difference between your personal and Internet life.
For the most part, I'm the same in person as I am online. The only difference is that I'm a bit more reserved on what information I provide on the Internet but I'm more open about the franchises I'm a fan of than I am in real life.

2. Five not so basic things about you.
- I have my Bachelors degree in English.
- I have been told I have a zen-like personality.
- My hair color is all-natural.
- I don't wear makeup except for special occasions (i.e. dances, costumes, holidays).
- I don't like to paint my toe nails.

3. What are some things you have trouble doing?
Getting the courage to speak my thoughts and emotions out-loud. I tend to keep my feelings inside and don't always reveal the true colors of how I feel or think about something.

4. Seven signs that you're into somebody.
- I consistently talk about them.
- I consistently look at their page (i.e. Facebook), if they have one.
- I take a lot of photos of them - usually ninja ones (in other words, they don't know I've taken the photo until afterwards when I've uploaded it). xd
- Emotionally I seem more upbeat and happy.
- The music I listen to becomes more focused around love and romance.
- If I'm going out to hang out with them or go somewhere where they'll be, I might take a bit extra more time getting ready to ensure I look my best.
- If they are in a place I regularly visit, I tend to focus my attention more in their direction than usual.

5. What's currently on your mind?
Wanting to get the stuff I need for my cosplay costume, so I can start making it.

6. Who are the last 3 people you had a crush on and how long did they last?
Benedict Cumberbatch - About 3 years now... since I first watched the first season of BBC Sherlock. xd
Alex - Basically a year (half of that we actually were together in a relationship). sad
Michael - Only a few months (one college term) [ended when I discovered he was already taken].

7. Things that make you happy.
- Cats
- My family
- My friends
- Upbeat music
- Nature
- My favorite shows
- Reading

8. Ten things you like about your significant other. (If you don't have one, tell us what type of person you are attracted to.)

Need I say more? xd

9. Four things you wish you could say but might never.
- "My novel is getting made into a film!" ((*laughs* A girl can dream... In my mind, they seem like great blockbusters and the sort of thing people would love to go and see.))
- "I'm traveling to _______! FOR FREE!" ((The traveling part is more likely to happen... the free part, not so much.))
- "I'm starring in _________ as _________! So excited to be part of a _____ that I've always wanted to get involved with." ((I've always wanted to act... especially be part of my favorite shows or be in a film based on a favorite franchise.))
- "My debut album is coming out soon!" ((I enjoy singing... so why not?))

10. What are some things you hate that people do?
Being close-minded and having prejudice towards certain types of people.

11. Do you dream often? Describe one of your dreams.
Yes, pretty much every night. My friends and a few celebrities tend to guest star in my dreams. I can't describe any specific ones right now since I don't remember the whole thing.

12. How do you feel about making friends over the Internet.
I don't mind - though they tend to stay at the acquaintance level. There's only three folks so far who have actually reached the best friend level - despite us never meeting in person, yet. I can't wait for the day that we actually get to meet each other in person.

13. Three favorite words.
Right now I'll have to say: Love, Friendship, and... Magic.

14. What gives you every day inspiration?
Music.

15. Do you believe teenagers can fall in love?
Puppy love, maybe. But true love, no. They can't fathom the idea at that age - speaking from experience.

16. How has your school life been throughout the years?
In the early public school days, I was fairly shy and kept to myself. In middle school days, I was dealing with a bit of self-esteem issues - mostly because some of my classmates teased me about the things I was passionate about or I overheard them bad talking some of the franchises I was a fan of. In high school days, I was slowly coming out of my shell and gaining more confidence in being proud of who I was. Though I still was affected by others' opinions and thoughts. In community college, I started learning how to become an independent lady and not get so caught up in sticking with my group of friends. I was becoming more open and confident about who I was and what I loved. During university years, although I was reserved, I was more open and interactive with others. I was open about the things I loved and wasn't afraid to announce it to the world. If people had an issue that was their problem, not mine. *shrugs* And it's been a continued journey since then of becoming more confident about who I am and not being afraid of showing that part of me to the world.

17. Do you have any pets? If no, do you want any?
At this time I don't have any. The felines at the shelter are as close to having pets for me right now, lol. I hope to own a cat or two in the future when I get my own place.

18. Describe your favorite place in the world.
With family and/or friends and/or in nature.

19. Is it easy for you to trust others?
I still have some trust issues.

20. Do you have any daily routines? Describe them.
Wake up, go to the bathroom, eat breakfast if it's early enough to have it, check e-mail/Facebook/Gaia, take shower, have lunch, do whatever I have planned for the day or goof off, eat dinner, watch TV/Movies with parents, check e-mail/Facebook/Gaia for the last time for the day, go to bed ((unless I feel like watching something - like lately it's been Supernatural)).

21. Movies that make you cry.
There's probably a few Disney ones that can get me going. And possibly The Holiday depending on what my mood is and/or what's going on in my life at the moment.

22. Your favorite movies.
The Holiday.

23. Six things in your room that you love.
- My Doctor Who merchandise.
- The picture of baby Cuddles (my late cat) in the cat frame.
- My books.
- The color of my room.
- My Sailor Moon merchandise.
- A great view from the window?

24. Post your Tumblr crushes.

25. Things you do on a rainy day.
Nothing that much different from any other day.

26. Draw something and post a picture.

27. What are features you get complimented on a lot?
My hair and the build of my body.

28. Something you would like to change about yourself.
Not be so indecisive about things.

29. What's one thing you would like to change about your life?
Have a well-paying job that I enjoy doing. I'm tired of job searching and feeling like my past work experience is worthless.

30. A recent photo of yourself.

I just realized that Benedict Cumberbatch is born on a cusp like me. Except he's a Cancer/Leo and I'm a Gemini/Cancer. It's sort of funny reading this description of a Cancer/Leo cuspian because it totally sounds like Benedict.

Look at Gemini/Cancer for me and Cancer/Leo for Benedict, if you're interested in reading it for yourself:Were You Born On A Cusp?

"Religion and philosophy play a big part in your life, and although the sexual urge is strong, you feel a sense of reservedness that keeps you from having a sexual relationship before marriage. Fellowship is a prerequisite for you, it will bring happiness and love to your marriage."

Yep... that definitely sounds like me.
