All About Me!

It may not seem like it but I'm a really not a simple person to understand.  I do what I have to do to get along and I pursue my dreams like the rest of the world however the difference in my actions comes in that I am on the path of self actualization--I desire to improve myself not exactly out of necessity but for the jollies of it.  Plus I don't always feel like the urge to do things to make myself happy.  I'm the sort of woman that would be most happy raising a family and passing on knowledge to them.  I am a good motivator to people I care about.  Nevertheless, many of my actions are also for my own benefit.  I contradict myself in both feelings and mannerisms at times.  With this in mind, read my little survey put together to get to know your web mistress better.  ^^

 

Name (IRL): Wilma
Nicknames: Sailor Gaia, Gaia-chan, BITCH (all family members know this one), Little Missy (when I'm bad -_-;), Kitty (my Civil War name), Bartholomew, and the Jolly Goat. ^_^;


Residency: Champaign, Illinois in my heart, Longview Illinois for the past few years.  *sigh*


Occupation: I'm a student but I work in a Christian Bookstore.


Age/B-day: 20; May 12, 1983


 Pets: 2 dogs, 5 horses, 2 rabbits, 5 barn cats, 1 house kitten, 2 fish, 1 chicken, and a partridge in a pear tree.  We live on a ranch, go fig! 


School:  Parkland Community College--I am transferring to Eastern Illinois University soon.


Hobbies: Oh, let's see...Anime, drawing anime, COSPLAY, Anime Convention go-er,  listening to music (doesn't EVERYONE say that?), riding horses, playing RPG's, wasting time on the computer, looking at Cosplay photos, Anime, oh, Anime, recruiting people over to Anime, and then there's Civil War Reenacting: verrrrrry fun ^_^


Favorite Anime:  Always changes as I go on--but some of my favorites include Marmalade Boy, His and Her Circumstances, Abenobashi Magical Shopping District, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Tenchi Muyo, and you cannot forget the ever wonderful INITIAL D!


Favorite RPG: Final Fantasy IV !!! Most defiantly! Nothing like the classics!!


Musical Preference: I can go with most music, except some country and some rap.  I'm really into trance and love what I call "booty shakin' music."   I enjoy trance/techno/electronic/house/dance/ect.  Anything that really gets me moving. Some of my favorite styles of music are Para Para Paradise--cuz you can really dance to that. I'm slowly learning to Para Para through this CD my friend burned for me.  One day I'll know the whole CD...yeah right! ^^;;;  However just because I enjoy on style does not exclude the rest. I played the violin since I was in forth grade so I have an ear for classical style. I love American nineteenth century folk music as well!  I even have a passion for some bagpipes.  I don't like a lot of American rap but I love Korean Rap, in particular.  I think they're cute.  Some of my favorite bands include Queen--cannot go wrong with them!--move: ALL HAIL "OLD RAPPA" (Motsu), and H.O.T. It really depends on the tune and how lyrical the song is.  A major fault of a lot of Christian artists is that they all sound the same.  A song needs to be uplifting, exciting, but musical as well.   Often good lyrics don't cover for sloppy arrangements.  So I appreciate bands that put forth the effort to make good aesthetically pleasing music that I can dance to because I LOVE to dance.


 Religion: Christian


Dreams and Ambitions: Wellll, I've always thought being a Jurian Princess would be nice..hehe. But I suppose living on THIS earth, I'd hafta abide by common rule and pick among it's many strange and limited goals. Okaaaay... I can dig that. I suppose I have that dream about being very famous. I want to leave my mark on the world. I don't want to be another nobody. I want my name somewhere and my story read. I also want to become some type of authoress, but doesn't everybody? I guess I'll never know until it happens, ne?


Favorite Movies: My favorite movie the Goonies only because when I was a kid that's the only movie we'd rent when we went to my grandma's house. It became a tradition to rent the Goonies and watch it over and over again. Ya know what, I never got tired of it, even owning it today on DVD. As for some of my other favorites, I simply rave for movies such as A & E's Pride and Prejudice with sexxxi Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy! Yum! My favorite horror flick is Children of the Corn ("He wants you too, Malachai!!!" Bwah ha ha!)  I love movies like Labyrinth (David Bowie's bulging, baby!! BULDGING!) and the NeverEnding Story. I have tooo many favorites. I was a big Star Wars Trilogy fan at one time (didn't buy anything, but I used to recite the lines by heart a lot) but that ended when George Lucas put out the new movies and I couldn't bear to watch them anymore!  Some of my favorite comedies include Space Balls, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Dude Where's my Car?, Basketball (I'm a HUGE Trey Parker/Matt Stone FREAK!),Cannibal the Musical, and even Kabuki Man, N.Y.P.D.!!  My family is big on movies such as The Mummy and The Mummy Returns as well as the Back to the Future trilogy.  ALSO, huge Lord of the Rings Trilogy fans here! I am a mega-Haldir fan!!  *drools* Too bad he died in Two Towers. ;_;  But I watch so many movies its only natural that I should rant about them.  


Favorite Author: Jane Austen.


Favorite Book:  The Hobbit.  Not even LotR dares to tread where Bilbo Baggins set even his tiniest hairy toe.


Favorite T.V. Show: The only show I watch consistently and feel bad if I miss is South Park.
