In which you guys find out how truly boring I am.

The Monday after my birthday, my family and I were at The Cheesecake Factory. After my pasta arrived, I tucked one side of my hair behind my ear to eat, then held the other side away with my free hand, instead of tucking it behind my ear as well. I thought, "huh, this is a weird habit I have. I bet no one else does this."

Remember the character sketches Mrs. Musick had us do for the Musick game?
Yeah, I was reminded of that.
So here I have decided to do one on myself.


Basics
Given name: Nicole Kay Vasquez
Current age: 18
Date of Birth: December 2nd, 1993
Physical given: Human female
Mental identification: Cat
Result: Lazy girl who likes to sleep and meow.

13 Things
1. Physical description

~ Most notable feature is long black (dark brown in bright light) hair, measuring approx. 2 ft 3.5 in from scalp to end. (No you sillies I didn't hold up a ruler to my head, I pulled out a strand of hair and measured that. Pfft.) Bangs and longer pieces of hair frame the face.
~ Tan skin, somewhat. Sort of. More so than a Caucasian of course, but actually quite paler than the norm for Filipino descendants. Paleness due to not going outside enough.
~ Asian eyes. Dark brown, mostly looks black in pictures. Short eyelashes.
~ Unusually tall for her race. Almost 5'7".
~ Scarily skinny. :c Result of a tall father and thin mother.
~ Braces and glasses
~ Often mistaken for Chinese or Japanese, when in reality, is Filipino-Spanish. (Philippines + Spain.) Small amount of Chinese blood may have been the cause of that, though.
~ Doesn't look her age apparently.
~ Generally average looking.

2. Mannerisms
- Enjoys staying inside her room.
- Enjoys staying inside in general.
- Doesn't really like going out unless necessary. So, she doesn't like going out just for the sake of getting outside. Finds it pointless.
- Quiet and very shy around strangers (especially those her age)
- Polite, mostly
- Over-apologetic
- Generally lazy
- Slightly OCD about certain things
- Somewhat bipolar around certain people
- Stubborn
- Obsessed with cute things, cats, and Asian stuff.
- Bad with money; compulsive spender
- Gets jealous too easily, but is very good at hiding it
- ....very good at hiding feelings in general
- Often spaces out/absent minded/easily distracted
- Clumsy.
- Cannot housework. Bad at cleaning, cooking, sewing. Anything housewife-y in general.
- Also would rather starve than cook herself a meal not involving the microwave.
- Too paranoid than should actually be
- Awkward.
- Has such a presence that makes her often forgotten. Even if she's sitting right there. (Just go ask Staci and Mary and David about this one if you don't believe it. |D)
- Finds small talk pointless...?

3. Clothing
~ At home, wears whatever the heck she wants. Sundresses in winter, 3 jackets in summer, whatever. Often called a hobo by mother.
~ Only makes an effort to look decent to people she needs to impress.
~ Which means sometimes she goes to walmart in a bright yellow t-shirt and red sweatpants, so sue me, there's no one there I need to impress.
~ Actually loves cute clothing very much, just is too broke to buy some.
~ Tries to look her best anyways when going to school.
~ Also likes to cosplay.

4. Social status
- Average high school student? Gets an allowance and cell phone and all the perks. Doesn't have a job, though.

5. Financial status
- Lives off of parents' moneys. Occasionally draws for extra money.

6. Habits
- Doodles on about every written school assignment ever
- bites on lips ..... sometimes until they bleed
- bites nails
- stalks the mailman
- lotion after every shower or paranoia about bad skin
- actually doesn't wash her face completely. uses just a face wipe lolol /lazy
- Types, draws, or plays the piano if feeling frustrated. Ends up typing/drawing/playing angry/sad things.

7. Idiosyncrasies
- Chews on tongue automatically; doesn't even know she's doing it when she is
- Refuses to tuck her hair behind both of her ears.  it's a comfort thing
- Refuses to show all of her forehead, also a comfort thing

8. Fears [this is going to be a long list...]
- All insects
- falling/edges/heights
- house being broken into (even though we have an alarm system...)
- cats getting hurt/prematurely dying
- thunder.
- 18-wheelers (those idiot drivers drive WAY TOO FAST. okay. I knew a lady in church who was rear ended by an 18 wheeler going too fast. lost her 3 kids and her boyfriend. 18 wheelers are the main reason I don't want to learn how to drive. I also get uncomfortable if we're next to one and I'm not even the driver, I have to close my eyes and pretend it's not there or distract myself.)
- accidentally not taking care of myself and getting sent to the hospital
- passing out (hypoglycemia ain't nice.)
- having an asthma attack and not being near a hospital
- failing life
- Boys. (Staci and Mariah will know this.)

9. Quirks
- sometimes speaks in Japanese to confuse people. (Esp. mother. Used to be sister too, but she understands now LOL)
- likes to roleplay. like literary roleplay. where you write it out.
- Doesn't like watching TV unless it's cartoons (Spongebob!) or Wipeout. Everything else is booooring.
- Doesn't like watching any kind of movie unless it's animaton.
- Doesn't like a majority of movies in general. (Action is waaay too loud for me, comedy I usually find unfunny, and unless you want me to pee my pants, then horror and suspense are no-nos too.)
- Doesn't listen to music in English. So there's a warning before you go through my iPod. I find American music generally repetitive, meaning-wise. Sure one may have a catchy beat but most of them all sing about the same darn things. Also so much swearing nowadays geez.
- But yeah. I don't like swear words.
- *the exception to American music is Disney/animated too.
- So basically the only thing I listen to is children's music.
- Oh but I like classical and Asian instrumental music. And music from musicals.
- Also anime OSTs/Japanese/Chinese/Korean music. So basically if it's not American mainstream = I'll try it.
- Obviously I am culturally deprived. Not really. I don't understand what America is going a majority of the time. So I don't pay attention to it.
- This also means I don't pay attention to politics, so don't bother talking to me about it, as I will ignore you. :)
- I have the slight suspicion I'm a super-taster? I.E. my taste buds are more sensitive than yours. Because I hate overspiced/oversalted food. Or mixed food. I don't like lettuce, carrots, and cucumbers in a salad, but will gladly eat them separately. Also I don't like my food touching.
- Also I have social anxiety. Google it.
- And get anxiety attacks in general. Google those too.
- I plan to move out of America and to either Japan or British Columbia, Canada.

10. Figures of speech
- Tends to use a lot of technology lingo in spoken conversations. "lol", "idk", "w/e", "omg", etc.
- Sometimes will accidentally Japanese-ify a word or just throw in a whole Japanese phrase without thinking. It's my thought process orz.
- Says "Aiya" too much without thinking. (Mandarin for "oh dear" to a more... serious extent. Actually it means dammit.)

11. Political leanings
- I do not pay attention to politics, nor do I ever think I will. Booooring.

12. Religious beliefs
- Seventh-day Adventist! Basically I go to church on Saturday, believe in the Trinity, and believe Jesus will come to earth a second time.

Also I don't eat pork, shrimp, crab, or lobster. :D

13. Passions
- Playing the pianoooooo. Will sometimes play so long have to go ice fingers BUT IT'S WORTH IT.
- Drawing. But no realism. Boring. Why draw something I already have to see every day. Give me cute things and anime/manga.
- Singing. To myself. Somewhat. :U I used to post stuff on Youtube but ehhh lazy. P.S. I only sing in Japanese and/or only sing Disney songs pfff.
- CATS. I love. My cats. I love any cats. Haters to the left.
- Asian culture? I'm currently taking both Japanese and Chinese lol, and will major in Asian Studies in college.
- Japaneseeee in general. I translate stuff on the internet on the side...

14. Likes

15. Dislikes

- Loud noises/places/people
- Large crowds
- Filipino food, Filipino parties.
- Swearing and inappropriate language/jokes.
- LOUD OBNOXIOUS MUSIC W/ BASS CRANKED UP TO MAX. If you want to irritate me fast, this is the way to go. >:c If it's a party I won't hesitate to call the cops for public disturbance.
- Violent (w/ blood) games, though. No COD or war games for me. :'D

WELL THERE YA GO.
