What you prefer to be called-well, I'm going to have to go with Animal. Besides, Chief_Blackfoot may be very unhappy if I go by Chief when she is a Chief.
Favourite animal and why-My favourite animal would have to be dogs, because I have, well, many dog-like qualities. At times I question if I'm human or dog. Ok, not really. I can have conversations with my dogs though.
Quote you liked from a book you've read- "And you're worried, not because you're headed to meet a house full of vampires, but because you think those vampires won't approve of you, correct?" Yes, Minerva, the quote is from Twilight.
Quote you liked from someone you know in real life- "Do you know what happens when you assume? You make an a** out of you and me.
Hobbies-reading, gaia, clubs at school. I don't know if you would consider talking to yourself, your dogs, and your friends a hobby.

What you prefer to be called: Psy, Psychotic, any form of Psychotic etc. is fine, just nothing with 'Happy' or "Happiness' etc. Thank you.
Favorite Animal: It's a close tie between six of them actually. First my favorite of the canine family. I really like dog's, or inu in Japanese. Mainly because I own one and he's very sweet and protective, plus dog's, to me, are loyal and they're always there for you, even if they can't talk, you can tell them whatever is on your mind without being judged. Another member of the canine family, the wolf, or in Japanese, the okami (or is it spelled with two o's?). They're beautiful, and very smart, they stick together with their packs, and defend each other, they're also just amazing to look at. Finally, the last member of the canine family that I adore is Fox, or again, in Japanese, the kitsune. They're cute and again fun to watch, they're also cunning and they probably think two steps ahead of any problem. Also, their fur patterns, are really interesting to me. Moving on to the next animal, the cat, neko in Japanese if I'm not mistaken(yes I'm a fan of Japan and the Japanese even if I'm not.) Even if they sleep a lot, they're very affectionate, and they're also fun to have around. It's fun to watch them just wander around your house, getting into whatever. Almost done, next animal, the Cow, the ushi. I mainly love the cow since, in one of my favorite manga, one of my favorite characters is cursed by the spirit of the Ox/Cow, that's basically the only reason xP. And finally, last favorite animal, the dragon, or Ryuu as called in Japan. What's not to love about them? They're mysterious, also very interesting to learn about. They're many breeds and each have different habits and habitats. Plus, they're beautiful and just... cool I guess xD.

Wow when if comes to typing I talk a lot ._.

Quote from a book: "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish" xD
Quote from someone I know: "My pants just buzzed o.o" My best friend said that.
Hobbies: My hobbies are simple. I like to read (of course), draw/doodle (almost always), and writing fan fictions xP (mainly yaoi), and I'm a video game addict as well :3.
Something interesting: Well I'm bisexual, plus I get hyper and act like a total nut at times. Other time I can be totally serious without knowing it.
PostPosted: Thu Dec 25, 2008 5:50 pm


What you prefer to be called: Suze is just fine dears.
Favourite animal and why: I like (rein)deer and small furry creatures. Also, I love pink ponies. XD
Quote you liked from a book you’ve read: That is quite hard. Hmm.. Oh! I got it! "As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them." -Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Quote you liked from someone you know in real life: "Life will take us in all different directions but no matter where we go and what different paths we take in life, we take a little of each other everywhere we go."
Hobbies: I enjoy reading, singing, joking with my friends, hanging on my computer, talking to the family, writing and some more reading!
Something interesting about you: I have gotten straight A's all my life. I am not sure if that is interesting..

What you prefer to be called MiaKitty or Mia. Depends on how much you want to type.
Favourite animal and why White Tigers, because they are beautiful and elegant, but at the same time they are cunning and powerful. In short, they're what I want to be.
Quote you liked from a book you’ve read Um... does it have to be a completed book? Stephenie Meyer has what she's written of Midnight Sun on her website, and I absolutly love this quote... 'Her existence alone was excuse enough to justify the creation of the entire world' And thus does the MiaKitty swooneth. heart
Quote you liked from someone you know in real life Scottie came up with this last night, we were talking about whether he was more like the Joker or the Riddler from Batman, and this amuses me ever so much: 'You've got 30 seconds to figure it out, or this gun is going to get a little lighter.' I don't know why. It's just interesting that he came up with that.
Hobbies Karate, drawing, painting, listening to music, and, of course, reading!

What you prefer to be called: Aris, Arista or Aristaline...Your pick.

Favourite animal and why: I have a few favorite animals: Panda Bears; because of their colors, cuddle-e-ness, and their habits, Tigers; 'cause they are cool, strong, fast, and look pretty fierce, Monkeys; I can relate to monkeys well...we both love climbing...But, they are real cutie's...Penguins; Black & white! Plus, I love how they waddle. And, I feel for them. They can't fly even though they had wings. (If I had wings, and couldn't fly, I'd be pretty mad.) And I like eagles...Just cause. Plus, I like the cat becuase he is my favorite animal from Fruits Basket. (I also LOVE all the Zodiac animals)

Quote you liked from a book you’ve read: I love lots a books, and most books I read have good quotes...So, I'll go with the one from my Join request, but the whole thing instead of just part: (Well, It's more like a monolge but, Oh well, I like it anyway.)
"-A reason for being born...a reason that its okay to be alive...A reason to exist.- I'm searching too. And if I can...If I can, I want to find my reason...in someone else. -The people in my life give me something to live for.- And someday, I hope I'll find that special someone to whom I can say 'You're my reason for living.' Whenever I start to feel sad, I think about my reason, and I know I have to keep doing my best. So...That's why I'm sure It's okay, even if your shameless. Because if you stay true to yourself and live your life boldly, someday you might be able to meet someone...who will want to eat takoyaki with you more than anyone else." ~Tohru Honda, From Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya. (Vol. 8 )

Quote you liked from someone you know in real life:
"Life is like a cookie: Sometimes its hard, sometimes its soft, and sometimes its dipped in milk." ~Crazy school friend.

"He's so fast, he could be the new 'Orange Lightning'! Poor Daxter, he's just no match for his spead."
"Um, Niki, One problem with that."
"What?"
"He's not orange."
"Dangit! ... I know! He's 'The Mexican Lightning Bolt!'"
Together: "HAHAHAHAHAHA"
"Wait till he hears...Your gonna be toast. =D"
"Ooops. :0" ~My best friend and I. (She's the one that came up with the nickname.)
((NOTE: This is NOT a racial joke. My best-e friend was messing around, 'cause my BF is Mexican. She likes to think of weird nicknames for him.))

Hobbies:
-Reading, lot's and lot's of reading. (From kids books, to novels, comics, fan-fics, and mangas.)
-Writing is good as well. I'm not that good at it, but I love to write a lot. Fan-fics are lots of fun, but I'm starting on my own story as well.
-Same goes for drawing, not that great at it, but its fun.
-Building stuff from Legos occupies me a lot.^____^ (Like Pyrimids, Castles, temples, houses, and a pirate ship.)
-Playing on the computer. (Random stuff, like Gaia, and Mechquest.)
-Hanging with friends when possible.
-Listening to some music.
-Bugging random people.
-HUGS!
-And whatever other random stuff that pops into my mind.

Something interesting about you: Favorite word: RAWR!
I have my own litte world...And it that world, Bat's say Moo. Oh, OH! Something interesting ( I think...?): When I was little, I had no friends till 2nd grade. And even then, I only had a totle of about 7 friends until I started 6th grade. In 7th grade, I litteraly saved a girl's life, and now that girl is my best friend. Now, in 10th grade, I have so many school friends, I cant count them with just my fingers anymore. (YAY!) I feel loved now. =D

Hello!

What you prefer to be called
Matelia is usually what I end up being called. And I'm wonderfully fine with that; I made it up. ^_^ If you can think of a shorter nickname, go for it. I'll try to recognize it as my name.

Favourite animal and why
Does it have to be just one? Well, judging by the two posters on my wall, and the seven figurines on my dresser, unicorns are my favorite. I don't actually remember deciding that I liked unicorns. I just always have.

But also in my favorites are cats (love them, adore them, worship them), mice/rats, owls, panda bears, sparrows, deer(especially fawns), bunnies, horses, and dogs(especially toy poodles, black labs, and dalmations). You'll probably be able to work out the reason for some of these preferences as you get to know me better.

Quote you liked from a book you’ve read
Hmm, should I keep with the Twilight quotes, do a Harry Potter one, or go off on a book that no one has mentioned yet? Oh, I know!

"Ooh, look, a Blibbering Humdinger!"-Luna from Harry and DH.
"Trust me. I haven't been wrong yet."-Artemis Fowl from the first book of the same name.
"She was having almost as much fun watching you enjoy yourself as I was."-Edward from Breaking Dawn.

Yes, I decided to do all three. ^_^

Quote you liked from someone you know in real life
Well, this didn't originate in real life, but my best friend and I quote it back and forth so much that I feel that it should get a chance.
"Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits. I don't talk. Nope. Never have talked. I don't know nothing about no talking gargoyles. Shh! Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits."

And for one that actually came from us last night:
"But that's what we do."
"We do it so well too that we don't even know we are doing it when we do do it."

Hobbies
Reading, Writing and Arith--no sorry. I went on autopilot. However, I do have the first two as my hobbies. I also love music, so I sing, play the piano, write music, and dance a little. I'm on the computer a lot, writing, playing on Gaia and in the Haven, reading fanfiction. I love to come up with random missing moments or what-if storylines.

Something interesting about you
Expect long posts. I like to type alot. If you haven't already figured this out.
