Oh, why the hell not.

Your puny form has been slightly reorganized to suit my caprice.

Basics -- Now, why can't this be acidics instead? Or perhaps just caustics...

[ names: ] Call me Murky, shorthand for Mercury. Or CVirus, shorthand for Coronaviridae.

[ age: ] A very cranky twenty.

[ favorite color: ] Muted dark greens (we're talking olive and such here; I can't stand pastel greens) and brilliant yellows.

[ astrological sign: ] Libra

Personage -- Just one? Do I get to embody as a burning bush?

[ weapon of choice: ] I like hitting people. I like being in close where I can use my knees and teeth and fingers and elbows on people. It just feels more correct to fight that way. What's the use of fighting with someone if you're not close enough to hurt and be hurt?

[ list a few of your strengths: ] I r smart. I r also a Rennaisance woman, in that I can do a little of a lot of things and excell in a few choice areas. I r loyal to my folks. I'm also a trivia hound and have a decent maniacal laugh when I put my mind to it. I get poetry--not songs, mind, poetry--stuck in my head and can quote you word-for-word probably fifty songs. In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a stately pleasure dome decree, where Alf the sacred river ran, through caverns measureless to man, down to a sunless sea...

[ list a few weaknesses: ] I r pretentious, cynical, and sometimes wantonly cruel. I r good at lying. I r often facetious. I have an addictive personality, which means I quite often do things I shouldn't be doing because I like them. Latest addiction is Naruto; I'm reading ten to fifteen chapters at a stretch.

A Few Questions -- What, do the seven questions you asked before this one not count?

[ what is most important to you? ] First and foremost, the lives, safety, and comfort of my friends and family. (However, I've been known to safeguard these in ways that do not necessarily make them happy with me.) Next, equity--I like things to be both fair and just, and I get cranky if they aren't (I r a Libran!). Fiiiinally...I don't mind personal power. In fact, it's a lot of fun. ;)

[ would you risk your life for a total stranger? ] In what sense? Would I, say, jump in front of a speeding car to shove someone out of the way? Maybe, but it's more likely I'd freeze or just stand by as a horrified onlooker. Would I go on a death-defying adventure to save millions of total strangers? More likely. (Personal reputation, while not the most important thing in my life, is nice to have and maintain.)

[ do you trust anyone? ] That depends on the degree of trust. In a sense, I trust everyone to be human, which means more often than not any negative behavior directed toward me and those I care about is a product of stupidity and not malice. (NEVER attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity...) In the sense of do I trust my average man to be generally a decent intelligent being? Not really. The larger and more general the group of people, the lower my level of trust in them. I do trust very close friends, but not to the degree I'd entrust some of my choicest tidbits to them. Those are mine and mine alone, or something to that effect. (Some days, though, I think that's just because I'd be too tired to explain why it was such a big deal I kept these secrets in the first place...fmmrnsbhl.)


Hit me, baby, one more time.
