Getting to know you Meme!
13 years ago
1. Who are you?
That can be a very complicated question, or a very simple one. Simple: I am me, a changing being depending on age, season, or situation made up of her past with hopes and dreams for the future. Complicated: I am both, Acrila, my online persona and Sommer my real life name. Acrila herself has gone through many changes mostly having to do with species, but she's representative of who I want to be, how I wish to act, my soul when all the complications of life is stripped away. Then there is Sommer, a decently paid loan counselor from a highly regarded federal institution who works their helpline assisting newer customer service representatives with answering borrower questions, I love this part of the job. However, I also process forms and attempt to not be horribly bored by it. Then I go home, play games and draw as much as I can in the hopes of getting betters so that she can get comissions, someday. All the while I have some crippling fears that attempt to keep me up at night and a crappy condition called Fibromyalsia which causes constant pain and depression for no reason. I can be unreasonably angry, cry at the drop of the hat when I’m emotional and hate myself for it, but mostly I attempt to be calm and happy person who enjoys life.
2. What are the 3 most important things everyone should know about you?
1. I have been mated for almost 8 years now
1. I am a straight shooter, what I say is what I mean, I may couch it in terms so you’ll take it easier or if I’m pissed throw caution to the wind and give you it straight from the unicorn’s mouth but I’m honest at all times.
3. I try to be understanding to other people’s personalities or moods, given whatever situation they may be going through or how they grew up but I do not tolerate being rude, nasty, selfish, or indecisive people and even if I don’t say anything my perception of you will be colored and you will find me scarce. Race, religion, nationality, sexual preference, political party, favorite (insert sport here) team, and having views different from yours are not acceptable reasons to be a jerk to someone. We can be accepting and get along if we open our hearts and minds.
3. When you aren't doing memes like this one what are you doing?
Working 12-9, then games like the Sims or Second life or a MMO of my choice, watching fantasy, sci-fi and anime movies and shows, Farscape currently, drawing and trying to improve.
4. List your classes in school from the ones you like the most to the ones you like the least (or if you are out of school, think of the classes you did like and didn't like at the time).
What I remember art was a big one, english, Spanish, science, math, music, history, gym.
5. What is your biggest goal for this year?
To save up enough money to pay off Myst’s debt so he can go into the airforce.
6. Where do you want to be in 5 years?
Drawing for a living, no matter how poor, married with children
7. What stage of life are you in right now?
The responsible and dependable stage while still chasing my dreams, feeling like I have things figured out more then before.
8. Are you more child-like or childish?
Child-like, I enjoy things a child would however in a mature fashion.
9. What is the last thing you said out loud?
Tora. Name of my cat :D
10. What song comes closest to how you feel about your life right now?
Good Life OneRebulic
11. Have you ever taken martial arts classes?
Once or twice at college when I went for a month or so, and once at an independent class where one of the students decided to poke me with a staff to goad me into fighting. I laid her ass out since staff is one of my strengths, years of playing with sticks as a child.
12. Does your life tend to get better or worse or does it just stay the same?
If I actually am IN my life and participate in it it gets better and better, if I neglect it and zone out it goes to shit.
13. Does time really heal all wounds?
I have a forgiving soul, so it first dulls it so I can deal with it, then it turns to anger, derision over such a small thing, then forgiveness and is gone from my life.
14. How do you handle a rainy day?
Depends on the time of year, spring storms are beautiful when the sun shines down though the rain so I watch those. Fall is depressing so I may hit the candles to make an intimate cozy setting and perhaps draw, cuddle watch some tv or play a game.
15. Which is worse...losing your luggage or having to sort out tangled holiday lights?
I gotta agree with the mate on this one. Losing luggage, that’s my STUFF for crying out loud. Tangled holiday lights is like well hmm, is it the kind that stays lit? Because we can cut those if things get too hairy! Otherwise lets turn on a Christmas special and talk while we figure it out.
16. How is (or was) your relationship with your parents?
Dad has always been afraid of becoming his father, an alcoholic with a pension for hitting women and children. So he’s always been hands off which has led to an increasingly distant relationship. Mom has always been everything for me. Disciplinarian and friend, as a child she was super cool since she was young enough to keep up with the times with her tastes. She was also too young perhaps and was a little harsh with her judgments when I did something wrong but I loved her and looked up to her as a determined, charismatic, strong woman. I did however go through a point in my life where I wasn’t leading it and she didn’t like that our relationship became strained and then non existent for a few years but it’s back to old times now with the added bonus of she’s proud of me.
17. Do you tend to be aware of what is going on around you?
More so then most other people, I think.
18. What is the truest thing that you know?
Love is universal and should be an expansive idea, never closed off or narrow, so it should be given to everyone.
19. What did you want to be when you grew up?
Starting from earliest to oldest ballerina, archeologist, teacher, writer, graphic artist, now I’m settling on graphic novelist or manga artist :P
20. Have you ever been given a second chance?
Yep can’t think of any off hand.
21. Are you more of a giver or a taker
Taker although how often I wish it wasn’t so, sometimes I am too impatient with people to wait to be a giver or afraid my efforts won’t be recognized and I’m strong so take it is.
22. Do you make your decisions with an open heart/mind?
I try
23. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?
My condition, and it’s everyday, mostly back aches when I wake up and being unable to sleep, but sometimes I will get random pain that I cannot explain in odd bits of my body.
24. What is the most emotionally painful thing that has ever happened to you?
Breaking up with my boyfriends was always the most emotionally painful thing. Losing family was sad but they went to a better place and were free from pain. Not being wanted when I loved someone else was way worse.
25. Who have you hugged today?
Myst, and mah kitties!
