I quoted the ones related to me. As you can tell, I am a World Aspie. I am very good at noticing patterns, however, and according to numerous IQ tests, I am practically at genius level; in fact, they say that if it weren't for my emotional difficulties, I would be a genius.
As for the World traits:
+ I like creating new worlds with different races, creatures, societies, political structures, etc. It's a lot of fun! I want to write stories about them, but I want my ideas to be fully developed when I begin... though perhaps that isn't the best strategy. sweatdrop
+ I am a total fandom whore. Case closed.
+ I do write fanfics, but, sadly, I do come up with a lot of Mary Sues. I try to make them as well-developed and well-written as humanly possible, however. Also, some of my "Mary Sues" aren't even the best-looking characters! Some are overweight, some are a little homely, but they're still funny or cute.
This is not to say that I only come up with Mary Sues-- I have created male characters as well, and they don't usually have love interests among the main characters. Hell, I've even came up with two male characters for Darkwing Duck that are gay for each other (as opposed to being gay for one of the male characters)!
+ I am mildly interested in history, yes-- just not political history. xp (I think mostly politics are a bunch of crap, anyway). I love learning about how people have developed over the years, like how traditions started or why we say the things we say or do the things we do these days-- where did they all stem from? I'm also very much into animals and evolution. Prehistoric animals really grab my attention! biggrin
+ I hate politics, but there are certain issues I fuss over. I'm really concerned in the things that really matter, like issues that relate to the human condition, or the environment. Sometimes I make opinions on politicians, but not because of mistakes in their personal lives, or slip-ups they've made in front of the general public; I make opinions on them based solely on whether they screw up or doing something fantastic. (The only real exception is George W. Bush-- anything he screws up, I make fun of him for it, or I make a huge stink about it.)
+ I am highly spiritual.
+ I'm into a lot of cartoons, and some video games series.
+ In regards to the last one and third-to-last one: many have said I'm an amazing essay writer, and others have said I'm a terrific author. I'm quite proud of that. ^-^
+ I have been in different RPGs over the years, and right now I'm in a LiveJournal RP... the ultimate amount of characters you can have are five, if you qualify, and hopefully I'll fill up all those slots at one point. Also, I've been on RPG sites, and I constantly made up multiple accounts. One good example is Kingdom of Loathing. I had three different characters on there to be a part of three different clans, and I wanted to play it more often than just the allowed amount of battle turns that players are given.
So, yeah, that's about it. Please don't hate me for being a Mary Sue machine! I'm a sucker for romance (and comedy, thank you), I genuinely love most of the characters I Sue-it-up for (not superficially, like "OMG he's so cute i want to marry him!!1"), and one of the main reasons people create Mary Sues is because there aren't enough well-developed (character-wise, perverts!) girls in whatever canon that's being obsessed over, so I like to do something about that. That, and a lot of the characters I like really need a girlfriend or really need to get laid. xd
