Please give an accurate description of your appearance; pictures are welcome! 
 I honestly don't have a picture of myself on my computer where I'm not wearing a costume, so I'll have to show you some of those. Lots of wigs and color contacts might fool you - my actual hair is long and brown, and my eyes are brown as well. I'm somewhat short, 5'3, and a normal weight. I have a broken nose. People say I look like a mix of Liam Neeson and Natalie Portman. So, if Qui-Gon and Padme had a baby...that'd be me. I also personally think I look like Snape and Hermione's baby. I've got Snape's paleness and sharp features, along with his deformed nose, but I've got Hermione's hair, eyes, and body type. I think it's obvious that I've thought way too much about this, so I'm going to stop. >.>
What are your favorite hobbies and extracurricular activities?
Cosplaying! I thought for a long time that sewing was a passion of mine, but I've finally accepted the fact that I like wearing the costumes, but not necessarily making them. I work very hard on them, because it's always worth it, when we get to violently can-can at Anime Expo, or whatever. My favorite part of cosplay is making a costume better than anyone else, to tell you the truth. I'm always vigrously searching the Internet for other cosplayers who have done similar costumes, and triumphantly declaring that their fabric choice was entirely wrong, and that they used the wrong size buttons, or whatever. Cosplay is a very small pond, and it's easy to become a big fish, as it were. A big, proud, fabulous fish. I get a lot of pleasure out of doing my best, and having everyone know it. That might be bad, but it's the truth. Other hobbies - I also love to read, and to write. I'm an English major, so mostly I just read what is required of me. I cram in as much as I can on the side, though. I've had a dry spell on writing for the last few years (since cosplay has started monopolozing my time), but I keep a list of my ideas, and I plan to make that my career eventually. Holed up in a room somewhere writing, and having people love me...that is the life. I want to be JK Rowling, I suppose. XD My practical plan is to finish school and get my Ph.D., and be a university professor, in case you were concerned about my future financial situation. What was the question? Hobbies? Well between cosplay, school, and my job, I obviously don't have time for anything else. It would be travel, though. I want to see everything.
Are there any animals that you feel drawn to or a connection with?
 Um...trees? I guess I can't be a tree. I absolutely adore big, huge, ancient trees, especially oaks and sequoia Redwoods. Probably one of the most introspective moments of my life was spent sobbing my heart out to a sequoia tree named King Solomon at my old summer camp. Those were the days. But I think that's a little too much information. >.> Anyway, I would probably prefer an animal that also appreciated trees, either living in them, or living near them, or whatever.
Are there any animals you are afraid of? I'm absolutely petrified of snails. The boys at the bus stop used to throw them at me and I think it traumatized me. I literally burst into tears if I step on one - and I'm not a sissy. I almost threw up while watching an episode of Fear Factor where they had to eat garden snails. That is just...ugh. So wrong. Bring on the Hungarian Nine-Toothed Antelope Fetus or whatever, but don't ask me to eat a snail. As for other animals, of course I'm a reasonable person - if any big, mean animal started running towards me, I'd probably be scared. Unless I had a big gun. But wait - being a pacifist and an environmentalist, I would be morally obliged to let the animal maul me rather than shoot it. Dang.

part III coming up!
