User Profile

As you can tell by my username, my name is Elizabeth.

I am many things: singer, actress, history geek, bookworm, writer---most importantly, a dreamer. Trust me, I have a habit of staring off into space during class because although my body is in a desk, my head is somewhere else.

Here are some basics: I love books, both history and historical fiction, music, movies, and theater. They're the top five loves of my life, and will always remain so.

Basically, I won't add you to my f-list unless you tell me where you found my lj. And even then, I won't add you unless we have a few things in common. Please don't take this the wrong way; I love meeting new people and am a very tolerant person. But most people are friends because they have things in common, and I would like the same thing to be true of me. Thanks, loves. :)

I believe that guys who play the piano are sexy. Elton John and Billy Joel have and never will sound alike (one is American, the other British). Disney movies own everyone's soul. The Beatles are THE band of all time and you'd damn well remember that. I'm in love with too many guys for my own good. Writing and music are a reflection of self. The little things in life always tend to make me happy, such as seeing one of various man-whores on T.V.

Reading is what I do in my spare time. Writing stories is my sanctuary. Music has and always will own the very depths of my soul. Singing is what I do when I think no one hears me. And guess what? It works. Go figure.

And what am I exactly? A crazy girl who resides in a small city who prefers to live in a world of dreams and fantasies. And I'm damn proud of it, babes!

I'm an irredeemably eejitous, liberal, not-too-generous, not-too-selfish, relatively well adjusted human being!
See how compatible you are with me!

Your Five Factor Personality Profile

Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your “down time”. Conscientiousness: You have high conscientiousness. Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life. Most things in your life are organized and planned well. But you borderline on being a total perfectionist. Agreeableness: You have high agreeableness. You are easy to get along with, and you value harmony highly. Helpful and generous, you are willing to compromise with almost anyone. You give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance. Neuroticism: You have low neuroticism. You are very emotionally stable and mentally together.

If a little white lie will make a situation more comfortable, you'll go for it. In the end, you mostly care about “situational integrity.” Generosity: You don't really value generosity. Your needs always come first, no matter what. And you'll possibly help someone else out... But only if it helps you in return. Humility: You value humility a fair amount. You tend to be an easy going, humble person. But occasionally your ego takes over. You have a slight competitive streak - and the need to be the best. Tolerance: You value tolerance highly.

You think there are many truths in life, and you're open to many of them.

Yes, as you can see, I also love Blogthings. They're SOOOO freakin' addictive to me, it's not even funny.

From Harry Potter Astrology:
LIBRA
(September 23 - October 22)
the Scales of Justice. Cardinal, air, yang - planetary ruler: Venus. Keywords: "I BALANCE"

Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac and governs the kidneys, lower back, and buttocks. Positive traits include a rational, logical mind, a fine sense of aesthetics, diplomatic aplomb, good taste, charm, skill with words, intelligence, an innate sense of fairness and justice, and exceptional beauty. Negative characteristics include indecisiveness, excessive dependence on other people, conformist tendencies, manic depression, extravagance, and manipulation.

Ravenclaw

All Ravenclaws are intellectual, but Ravenclaw Libras have their heads in the clouds more than most (Pisces Ravenclaws may have them beat, but not by much). They are romantic and idealistic, and prefer to live in the world of pure theory rather than in the messy world of action. While social and pleasant, they are still quiet and shy, and rarely make the first move when in a group of people. In the classroom, they tend to wait to be called on, or raise their hands when they are sure that no one else knows the answer, but they do tend to be the teacher's pet on a fairly regular basis. It's hard to hate them for this, because they are so pleasant to everybody. Ravenclaw Libras are the most speculative (and indecisive) of all Libras, because they have the intellectual capacity to explore all ramifications of every action and reaction.

Well, check that out! That sounds like me!
