Yes, I am obsessive.
Stole this from
Kerry :)
What's your name? Brigid
What do people call you? My family and some of my oldest friends call me Bri. It's usually just Brigid.
Were you named after anything? A Celtic goddess of fire and creativity/inspiration, I think.
If you were born the opposite sex what would your name be? I guess it would be Rowan, since that's my twin brother's name. LOL
If you could change your name what would you change it to? I don't think I would
Single? Nope
Who are you with/who do you want to be with? Right at this moment, I'm okay with being alone, but I wish my boyfriend was around more often.
Are you in love? I'm not really sure how to tell. But I think so maybe.
Have you ever been in love, if so how many times? Once before this, for sure.
Do you believe in love at first sight? Nope, I believe in lust and infatuation which can develop into love <--- What Kerry said.
Is it possible to be faithful to one person forever? Of course.
Do you want to get married? If I find someone who I know I can be with forever.
Do you want to have kids? I think so. A long time from now.
How many? One.
What sex? I'd prefer a girl
Names? I really love the name Elena. or Gaia.
Do you believe in divorce? I don't know what to think about it.
Do you believe in true love? Absolutely
Do you consider love a mistake? I don't know what you mean by that? I guess there are people out there that are a mistake to fall in love with, but I don't think love in general is ever a bad thing.
Turn ons? Really great smile. The kind that makes you melt. :)
Turn offs? Immaturity and chest/back hair. XD
What is the best thing about the opposite sex? Lots of things.
What is the worst thing about the opposite sex? Most of them never grow up and stop acting like immature 12 year olds.
Are you a virgin? Yes
Do you believe you should be in love to have sex? Yes, I do. But whatever people choose to do is up to them.
Do you smoke? No
Have you tried it? No, and don't plan on it.
Do you drink alcohol? Yeah, but not too often.
Have you tried it? Um, yeah?
Do you pray? No
Go to church? No. Just being in a church makes me really uncomfortable, like everyone there can see that I'm not one of them and don't belong there. LOL
Believe in God? Not really. And even though I'm pagan I wouldn't say I believe in a particular goddess, either.
Sleep with stuffed animals? No lol.
Take walks in the rain? When I'm in the mood
Dance in the rain? Occasionally
Do any sports? Nah
Lie a lot? I try my best not to
Steal? Never
Gamble? Sometimes mom and I play blackjack and bet M&Ms. XD
Have you ever kissed a stranger? Well. Er. I guess he wasn't really a stranger, technically. I don't want to talk about that.
Screamed so much you lost your voice? Well, I did get laryngitis once, and it probably wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been at a party at the time and yelling at the top of my lungs anyway. XD
Laughed so much it was painful? All the time
Cried so much it was painful? Yes
Gone skinny dipping? Yeah, years ago
Had a medical emergency? Nope
Run away from home? No
Done something extremely unexpected? Probably?
Slept outside? Several times
Been onstage? Nope
What's your biggest fear? I don't really know what my biggest fear is... being scared, I guess. LOL. And people touching my feet freaks me out. And I have this weird fear that nobody actually likes me and is just pretending to. Not sure why.
What was your weirdest dream? I have so many weird dreams that I can't even keep track of them.
Scariest dream? The scariest one I remember (I don't have scary dreams often) was something involving me being pregnant, and all these little kids popping up and turning into demon kids and trying to tear open my belly with their teeth. It was fucked up.
Do you have a recurring dream? I sometimes have dreams that FEEL like reoccurring dreams, like I know exactly what is going to happen. Deja vu, I guess? I dunno. But the only dream that I remember that I know for SURE was reoccurring was one from when I was around 4 or 5. I was in this daycare (which I think was the daycare I stayed in for a day or two while my dad was in the hospital), but for some reason the daycare was/was on the Death Star, and then the Rebel Alliance blew up the Death Star. I don't remember it ever being a scary dream, though, which is interesting.
What was your best dream? Hmm. Don't know. I love all the dreams I remember, usually.
What is your dream? I want to write books and not be scared of people reading them. And I want to not get any older than 18, but that's obviously not happening.
Do you live in the moment? I live in my head.
What's your greatest strength? I think I'm pretty accepting of most peoples thoughts and feelings and opinions. I'm very liberal.
What's your greatest weakness? My physical strength is pathetic. I really need to exercise.
Do you have a motto you live by? "Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with stick like models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful."- Gerard Way
I try to live by it, anyway. I don't always succeed.
Also: "If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen-year-old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.” - Gerard Way. He inspires me a lot.
If your life were a movie what would it be called? I suck at titles! And no one would make a movie about me.
Do you have any bad habits? Laziness.
Do you have any secrets? Doesn't everyone?
Are you fake? Sometimes I think I'm not as honest with my real life friends as I am with my internet friends, because I'm not scared of my internet friends judging me. But I try to just be me...
What do you want to do in life? Write books and be successful at that.
Are you a daredevil? Ohhh no.
Are you predictable? I don't know?
Do you keep a journal/diary? I fail at it, but yeah.
If you could change one thing about you would you? Yeah. At the moment I feel like I would probably make myself younger. Or prettier. Or better at artistic things. I don't really know.
If you were somebody else would you be friends with yourself? I don't know.
Do you think you're a good person? Without sounding arrogant, yes.
Do you think you're emotionally strong? Not at all.
Do you regret anything? A bit, yeah.
Do you think your life has been good so far? In general, yes it has.
What do you like most about your body? At the moment I really hate all of it.
What do you like least about your body? My legs and my face and everything really..
Are you trust worthy? Yes
Are you gullible? A bit, yeah.

and finally:
1. Post 9 facts about your character- I chose Dreymeian, one of the main characters from my 2009 NaNoWriMo novel, 'Written in Stone'.
2. Tag 8 other characters.
3. Post their names with the creators avatars.
4. No tag backs :I
1) He is my muse, and thinks he can worm his way into every story or RPG I write. And thinks it's okay for him to have a different girlfriend in each one. XD
2) He was originally pretty much a mix of Drizzt and Jarlaxle (from R.A. Salvatore's The Legend of Drizzt series) because I was/still kinda am a fangirl. He's changed a lot since then, though (gosh, that was years ago. He was one of my first RPG characters. so I was like, twelve. Oh my.)
3) No matter how full-of-himself and confidant he acts, he really hates himself for a lot of the thing's he's done in the past.
4) He can control dreams.
5) He'll do anything to protect Tara --
anything.
6) He's about the closest thing there is to a scientist in his world. His favorite thing to do
besides making out with Tara is studying magic and experimenting with it.
7) He wasn't originally supposed to get together with Tara in the very first version of his story, but then, he wasn't a major character back then either. The first character I paired him with was Whisper (called Nightsong back then.) Thank god I changed my mind on that, seeing as she hates his guts.
8) I really hate his name. I originally just took the name Damien and added some extra letters. But of course, it stuck, and now I can't change it. Sigh.
9) The villain of this story was his best friend for most of his life.
I tag:
YOU. :]
