Author has written 2 stories for Harry Potter. Hello: My name is Rachel Rebecca and I am from Long Beach California. I am now 25, born in November of 1992. INTJ personality type, The character I am most like in Harry Potter is actually Severus Snape. I am in love with Remus as a character and Dumbledore is my second. Remus Lupin is actually my all time favorite character out of any other books. Some of my hobbies and interests are: reading; writing; technology; Social commentary; research; news; microblogging; Religious philosophy; political science; audio engineering; debate; sociology; secular philosophy; anthropology; traveling the city; cultural food; grammar; linguistics; academics; education; special education; psychology; health; fanfiction writing; music history; history; geography; economics; pedagogy; Science; mathematical theory; constitutional law; music collecting; Personality typing; Intellectual discussions; I am currently studying Journalism political science, and English. I wish to either be a political correspondent or columnist. Writing for the education or special education sections would also be enjoyable. I am less about digging up the gossip about people and sensationalism but rather about truths and fixing the broken society. I don't write original fiction much, but am thinking of writing fanfiction for fun, again. I only do this as a hobby. I think I am creative if it's not meant for publishing or workshopping and I can do this on my own time and terms. Otherwise, as I mentioned I am a essay writer. I am an evangelical Christian foremost, and a somewhat non-traditional conservative, not necessarily republican, tea party, or any really recognized political parties. I am a bit of an eccentric and know it rather than wanting to be. I am also rather mindless and zone out most of the day. It's difficult to place who I am in the confines of a box. I simply do not fit and never will! I live my life in my head, but still tend to be very much a pragmatist. I am a hermit and spend much of my time hiding away in my corner of the universe. If I am not doing this, I am mostly alone and a quiet observer when I travel. I am not that well engaged in society, but am well respected and generally have a sufficient albeit quiet presence in the communities to which I belong. I enjoy social isolation, but not to the extreme. I tend to be intellectual and a bit of a social commentator. I don't usually show much emotion, and if I do, it's rare and to a very select few. I am a pescatarian. I am very blunt, and do not mince words and also very opinionated and honest. I try to be fair however when I debate.. I am also very skeptical even cynical most times, and spend half my days coming up with ideas to perfect society. I am passionate about my interests. If you want to change my mind, convince me, and that can be difficult being such a skeptical, Cynical, and somewhat bitter (I'll admit to that), type of personality. If you have though consider it a honor. It is a bit easier than it use to be though. I dislike small talk and am quiet. Some people may think I am outgoing only because I tend to be outspoken about my values, views, premises I hold, and opinions. I also tend to be both a speaker and listener but I seem more like a speaker because I am, again, extremely opinionated. I have no patience for ignorance. I don't mind questions and someone who truly desires to improve. I tend to watch and observe people. I enjoy intellectual discussions mostly. I enjoy learning about different perspectives and refining my own. I enjoy listening and learning new concepts and ideas. I tend to talk about ideas more than others and their lives. I tend to be a quick learner and pick up on who others are rapidly. I am usually an eager learner and study most things. I am a pragmatist though, and prefer applied theory and applied knowledge. I tend to have a rather snarky and sarcastic sense of humor. I enjoy humor about myself. I also enjoy more integrated humor and generally do not tell jokes. I am sarcastic but don't use my sarcasm towards others. I don't think skin deep qualities are important, I am defined by my ideas and values. I don't abide by social conventions on anything least of all due to skin deep factors. I also don't believe in tradition and norms. I disagree that just because I am such a race or identity, I must act in such a fashion because we've always done it this way. For this reason, you will not find trivial details about me, in my profile. I suppose you may ask but that's not what is important to me. My conception of Christianity is more akin to it being a religious philosophy, which I believe can be pragmatic. I suppose you can say the seminary school type of outlook. Yet, I still believe in Jesus and trust God. I believe there is metaphysical elements such as God and his creation along with Jesus and humans. Epistemology such as reasoning and values and other aspects of epistemological logic. Ethics is prominent in the bible. I believe as Christians we have standards to follow and I try my best to follow them. There is of course Politics and Aesthetics as well. The list goes on, but I think you get the idea. I think It's a relationship rather than Dogma to me. I was an atheist up to about a year and a half ago and an ardent speaker against christianity. I know I tend to scare people away or puzzle them. Sometimes, I think my bluntness scares or hurts especially if you incur my temper and frustration. Humanity tends to do this quite often and well. Some people can't stand my opinions and bluntness. I have no actual intentions of this, but seriously, at the end of the day you're welcome to think what you do of me. I can be pretty opened to people once I know you better, otherwise I can be rather closed off and mostly ideological and intellectual based. I can care deeply and am extremely loyal, selfless, and integrative, but I have to open up to you first and somehow convince me you're worth my attention and effort. Sometimes this is difficult, I confess. I can be hesitant to interact sometimes, however, I try to be polite. If you get to know me and get me to like you, you can count on me for almost anything. I tend to be supportive of my friends and truly an passionate believer in their goals. I tend to go out of my way to help them no matter what it takes. |
