Background--
Name: Eric
Age: 18
Hair: Orangey red as of now (naturally a very unflattering shade of light brown which no one will ever see again)
Eyes: Green

A Little More—
Likes: People who can spell, oldies, Frasier, being a geek, Edmund from King Lear, Star Trek, playing piano without reading music, cosplaying, laughing at idiots, Yossarian, being in charge of everything, winning arguments, episodes of Law & Order that end with justice, The Brave Little Toaster and other happy nostalgic things <3
Dislikes: Mayonnaise, stupid people, lame angsty crap with vampires that isn't Buffy-related, Evanescence, bad grammar, food (not because I'm anorexic or anything, but because my digestive system sucks and everything makes me sick >_<.), not having money, rich people who blow money on stupid crap when you can't even afford a pillow, when things change and there's nothing I can do about it, feeling left out
Spare time: Doing stuff online, sewing, and watching One Piece
Any sports you’ve done: Ahaha, no o_o.;;

In Depth (please explain when needed!)--
Strong points: I'm pretty good at most non-physical things. o_o.; Writing, art, music... yeah. I'm really good in school, or at least good at passing myself off as such.... I'm probably one of the biggest slackers to ever be valedictorian. I love it.
Weaknesses: Lack of modesty, apparently. o_o.; I manage to be both fairly conceited and really insecure and paranoid at the same time, I'm wayyyy too competitive about almost everything, and I always insist on doing everything myself because I don't trust anyone else to do as good a job. And there's the whole digestive system thing where I'm always sick, especially when I'm nervous or excited about anything. So lame. Lately I seem to have trouble finding motivation to put effort into anything. I'm also pretty obsessive and annoying sometimes. x_X. And very jealous.
Ambitions: I want to go into law and politics and try to make an impact on the world, even though that's really cliche XD;
Optimistic or pessimistic: A crazy mix of both. I never really think anything will go well and generally expect the worst, but at the same time, I'm really hopeful inside, so I'm always disappointed even though I know it's coming.
Physical or Emotional strength: I'm really weak physically x_x.; Although I've been getting so many cuts and things lately from my sudden clumsiness that I think I'm building up a pretty good pain tolerance if nothing else. I think I'm usually pretty good emotionally, although, like anyone, I crack from time to time.
Crybaby or Ice cold?: Andre 3000 <3 I don't know, I think I usually come off as sort of cold, or at least I try to, but I really cry at everything. Even like, Zoloft commercials.
Leader or Supporter: Probably leader, because I usually don't trust other people with important things
Clothing style: I like long sleeves and long skirts, and now that I'm moving up north, I should actually get to wear these more often. Yay!
Energy Level: I'm pretty lazy, though I can be perky and excitable sometimes

Given Situations—
What’s the best emotion you can feel? The excitement of knowing something you've wished for is going your way
What’s the worst emotion you can feel? Betrayal sucks, man x_x.;
Someone's yelling at you and you don’t know why, how do you respond? Get all defensive and probably yell back or cry x_X.
If a loved one lied to you, how would you take it? It depends on what the reason for lying was.
Your roommate continues to leave their dirty underwear on your side of the room, and you don’t like it. At all. What do you do? Kick it over to their side x_X.;
Do you fall in love easily? Not sure if most occurances could actually count as love, but yes.
You just discovered you have a week to live, what do you do with the time you have left? Do lots of crazy stuff that I'm ordinarily too much of a good nerdy kid to do x_x.;
Another person has been getting very clingy to your best friend...how do you feel about this/what do you do? I'd probably feel a little jealous, but wouldn't do anything.
Do you keep secrets from your friends, even if it's good for them? Yeah.
What element do you most identify with, and why? I don't know. x_x.;; Probably fire, but I'm terrified of fire so it seems weird to say that. I've always said water, but I think that's a lie.
Would you sacrifice everything for love? In some cases x_X.
Are you often criticized for the things you do, even if it's the right choice? Yeah, it's annoying x_o.;
