Shamalama - trying again (original) (raw)

APPLICATION

You
*Name:

Ashley...just like every girl born in the late 1980's
*Age: 18
*Birthdate: Feb. 11.1986
*Gender: Lady
*Drugs: No thank you, Ive seen first hand what it has done to my family, so...I'd rather not.
*Alcohol: I will do tricks for you if you let me drink with you....unless its beer...then I would have to pass...
*Cigarettes/Cigars: Bleah, Ive tried smoking and its really not my bag, baby. I wasnt too fond of the after taste. *cough*
*Favourite music genre: hmmmmm....Im kind of favour the "emo" or "punk" brand of music I guess, but Im not really that picky as to have my entire cd/mp3 collection hang all over one type of music.
*Top 10 artists/bands/composers: 1) Vivaldi, 2) Smashing Pumpkins, 3) Mindless Self Indulgance, 4) Saves The Day, 5) The Faint, 6) The Juliana Theory, 7) Bright Eyes, 8) Modest Mouse, 9) HIM, 10) Green Day
*Favourite form of art: The form of art that I love seeing the most is painting. I adore Mark Ryden and his work, I also like the work of Frida Kahlo, and I think there is nothing better than when something is expressed through paint and canvas. However, the form I am partial to using myself is drawing and sketching. I feel like I can express myself better with a pencil than I can a brush.
*Top 5 movies: 1) Requiem for A Dream, 2) Spirited Away, 3) Resevoir Dogs, 4) Chasing Amy, 5) Battle Royale
*Favourite food: Chinese food makes me very happy. It makes me smile and make little guinea pig squeaking noises. I really like Crab Rangoon and Egg Rolls the most..they taste like Jesus.
*Top 3 books: Aww...just three?..Well then...1) Farenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury, (i have read this book about 9 times, heh.) 2) Abarat - Clive Barker, 3) Invisible Monsters - Chuck Palahniuk
*If you could meet anyone, who would it be and why?: I would like to meet Chuck Palahniuk. I think he is one of the greatest contemporary writers of our time. Also, I have adapted a few of his dogmas, so I would like to personally thank him for influencing me. Also I want to know what makes him tick.
*If you could switch places with anyone, who would it be and why?: I would really like to switch places with anyone who is not living in Harlan County, Kentucky. This place is such a cultural and intellectual wasteland. I wouldnt wish this place on anyone....in fact..im beginning to believe that Harlan is some other planet's hell....
*If you could fight any celebrity, dead or alive, who would it be and why?: Paris Hilton...this girl has completely set the feminist movement back about 50 years. She is so superficial and brainless that she makes me want to roll around in my floor and make little sicky noises. Maybe if someone beat the shit out of her then she would have to depend on something other than her looks.

Opinions on ... (explain your answers)
*Racism:

I think that racism is an excuse that people use because they dont have the understanding or the open mindedness to deal with someone who is different or isn't what they consider to be perfect. Everyone is different and that should be respected, and although that is probably the most over used phrase when people talk about racism, but it is true. Im not going to hate someone just because their skin colour or religious beliefs are different.
*Politics: Just like a lot of people, I really wasnt a big politics effecinado until the 2004 election. I think that one needs to be educated on the things going on around them so they can form well educated opinions, instead of just fumbeling around on all the he said, she said, the news said, bull shit. As for my political beliefs..I'm an anarchist, and I am so becasue I feel like I'm educated enough on different political aspects to be sure this is what im for and what I believe in.
if you put anything to the effect of "I don't care" or "I hate politics", omit the next question
**George Bush: Well...I really dont agree with a lot of the things this man does, but I'm sure he isn't smart enough to do all of the things he has done, both good and bad, by him self, so anything I like and dont like about him cant really be directly blamed on him. Also, even though im not a big Bush fan, I'm not gonna sit here and say that Kerry is "teh" man either, casue he's not. When you get down to it..they both really arent that great.
*Organized religion: I think that organized religion is okay, It dosent bother me if people participate in it, and yeah, Ive participated in my share of organized religions. However, fundamentalists who go around pushing people to become a part of thier religion cause they are "right" and you are "wrong" just piss me off.
*Love at first sight: The whole concept of "love" is completely lost in the our generation of lust and porn. So more commonly people probably experience "lust at first sight". However, I do believe in the rare moments when two people just connect on more than one special level.
*Pre-marital sex: All I can say that if you're educated on what the risks are, and if you use a rubber..then more power to you.
*Gay marriage: Everyone has the right to be happy, and I dont see anything wrong with Homosexuality. Love is love no matter what, and I think that should be honoured and respected. Who cares if two women or two men love each other.
*Abortion: I think that a woman definately should have her right to choose, we are the owners of our bodies, and should be treated accordingly. However, this right should not be abused and used as a cheap form of birth control. It is a privlidge to be able to bring a living breathing human being into the world and that should be respected. I think that abortion should only be used in extremely neccessary cases, like with rape, or certian medical circumstances.
*Animal rights: I'm not one of those crazy animal rights people who stand up and yell "ANIMALS FEEL JUST LIKE PEOPLE DO!!!". I dont care if you eat a steak every day and wear fur. Thats you. I dont eat red meat and I dont condone the killing of animals for material happiness like with ivory and fur. But since people do eat meat I think that animals should not be tortured needlessly, after all, even if they are not as emotionally complex as we are, they still feel pain.
*Euthanasia (of humans): I think that if someone is suffering and wishes to be released from that, then that is their decision. However, I dont think people should be so quick to deal out death just because a person dosent seem to be responsive, or if they seem "brain dead." I'm not against it, but I think that in situations, there is a lot of thought and consideration that needs to be given.
*Cloning / Genetic research: I think that genetic research is a facinating subject, because there is a lot of good that can come out of it like the obvious cures for cancer and diseases. However, I dont think that cloning should be manipulated with more than its needed because cloning people really isnt necessary. The planet is already over populated enough. So filling up the world with the same rich assholes really isnt going to make it any better. And I say rich because they would be the only ones who could afford to be cloned
*Bad spelling / grammar: meh..as far as spelling and grammar are concerned, im not really good at either, but that dosent mean I won't jump all over someone for just being a complete idiot. Like spelling the word "cloths" as the word "clothes." *wince*

Intelligence You should answer each question under 20 seconds but since we cannot time you give a true or false answer. If the answer is false, tell us why it is false and give the correct answer. Pick 5 - 7 questions.

1) The word, "mineral," can be spelled using only the letters found in the word, "parliament."
2) If written backwards, the number, "one thousand, one hundred twenty-five," would be written "five thousand, two hundred eleven."
3) Gary has only forty-eight dollars, but Gary can buy a bicycle that costs one hundred twenty dollars, if he borrows fifty-seven dollars from Jane and fifteen dollars from Jill. True
4) If the word, "quane," is understood to mean the same as the word, "den," then the following sentence is grammatically correct: "Looking out from my quane, I could see a wolf enter quane." False Because you wouldn't say "I could see a wolf enter cave." You would have to add "a" or "the" to the sentence making it "a cave" or "the cave."
5) The words, "auctioned, education, and cautioned," all use the exact same letters.
6) Nine chickens, two dogs, and three cats have a total of forty legs.
7) Sixteen hours are to one day as twenty days are to June's length.
8) If the word, "TAN," is written under the word, "SLY," and the word, "TOT," is written under "TAN," then the word, "SAT," is formed diagonally. True
9) If all Boogles are Battuns, and some Battuns are Trandles, all Trandles must be Boogles. This is false becasue only some Battuns are Trandles. Therefore it can't be said that ALL Trandles are Boogles. It would be more correct in saying that some Trandles are Boogles, or if all Battuns were Trandles, then all Trandles would be Boogles.
10) The following words are the opposites of words that begin with the letter R: unreal, street, grasp, unwind, wrong. False, because "road" is not the opposite of street."
11) The following, disregarding punctuation, is spelled the same forwards as it is backwards: "Drat Saddam, a mad dastard!" True
12) The odd numbers in this group add up to an even number: 15, 32, 5, 13, 82, 7, 1.
13) A square whose sides each measure ten centimeters can completely fit inside of a regular hexagon whose sides each measure ten centimeters
14) Walter is taller than Scott, and Scott's little brother is taller than Roger. Since Walter is not the tallest one of the four, then Scott's little brother must be tallest. True
15) If a doughnut shaped house has two doors to the outside and three doors to the inner courtyard, then it's possible to end up back at your starting place by walking through all five doors of the house without ever walking through the same door twice.

*How did you find out about this community?:

Ive applied here before...and I think since I've matured quite a bit from the last time I applied *shudder* I will do a little better this time.
*Promote us one place and tell us where: I promoted here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/_communitypromo/
*Having fun?: Ive orgasmed more than once already this is so much fun...filling out this application was better than sex...
*Why do you want to be apart of this community?: Because I enjoy making fun of people for their ignorances...well no..I lied..I just enjoy making fun of people in general.
*What is your definition of "fake" and why do you think you are not? My definition of fake is someone who is cliched out in the most possible way just because they think it is cool, also, I think it is someone who is completely hypocritical to what they say they do or believe in. I dont think Im fake becasue I am willing to give my opinion and not really care what other's think. Also, I believe Im not hypocritical. I pretty much believe and act the way I say I believe and act, and I dont do it for anyone else but me.
*Describe yourself in two sentences or less, GO GOD DAMMIT! I'm a bohemian loser who likes to eat chips, make icons, and play on livejournal.
*And, show us at least one picture of yourself:
