Name: Victoria Leigh Aragon is my real name, but I have quite a number of unique and sometimes questionable nicknames.
Age: Twenty-one.
Native Language: English.
Accent: Heh', depends on who I'm with and what I'm doing. I've been known to don both a New England accent, and a Southern twang.
How long have you been writing? Mmm'... I first started writing when I was in the first grade. I'm not sure HOW old I was back then... so I'll let all you smarter people do the math for me. ;D
What common stereotype are you? I was known as either a goth, a punk, bookworm, nerd or a stalker. Is "stalker" a proper stereotype?
Have you ever cut? Very briefly; I chose to use salt and ice, mostly.
Have you ever attempted suicide? In a round about way, I guess you could say I have.
Have you ever suffered from an eating disorder? My father once thought I did after coming back from my mother's during the summer and I couldn't hold anything down. He was mistaken, however.
Favorites
Author: Maybe Anne Rice.
Book: I... really don't know. I want to say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... but I'm sure there are others that I love.
Food: Lumpia.
Ice Cream Flavor: Cheesecake. Gotta' love Coldstone, man.
Color: I have a few - black, silver, red, lavender, blue and neon green.
Animal: Uhhh'... hawks? I've always wanted one...
Poet: Like, famous people? Sylvia Plath, if we want people who have been published. Here on AllPoetry, however, it's a toss up between Rose Dark Thorn and BreachingTheCore [her name might be different by now, though].

Poem someone else has written {link included please}: Courtesan's Ballad

Charity: I don't know enough about charaties... perhaps one that deals with cancer or diabetes?
Beliefs
Does a God/Diety/Higher Being/Whatever you're name for it exist? Most certainly.
Do they care? To an extent, but they can't make the world perfect for one person and one person alone, so hardships and sorrows are bound to fall upon us ever now and then.
Does Satan/Hell exist? I don't believe in a being such as Satan to exist, however I do believe that we all create our own hells.
Is evil a direct result of sin? The concept of "evil" was around far longer than the concept of "sin"... so I don't think so.
Are there such things as coincidences? Sure there are. But sometimes you just... KNOW that some coincidences are more than that, thus fate has twined your path with anothers.
Do we control our destiny? To an extent. Again, we can pick and choose from a number of paths, but ulimately our end goals will be pretty much the same.
Op-Ed
Is homosexuality wrong? I don't think it's wrong. Love is love - it doesn't need to be restricted to gender or ethnicity.
Is pre-marital sex wrong? Not as long as you're smart about it. If you're someone who runs around just to get a few extra notches on your belt/bedpost, then yeah, probably. But if you're being safe and not just flaunting yourself for everyone to see, then no.
Is divorce wrong? Nope. Sometimes it's unavoidable as people can fall in and out of love with one another.
Should parents be held responsible for children's actions? Ehh'... it's hard to say. If the parent was doing everything in their power to prevent their child from doing something "wrong", and the child still did it, then the parent shouldn't be punished. At least they TRIED to prevent something from happening. And we all know how tenacious teenagers can be at times.
Is war acceptable? War is never "acceptable", but it happens regardless.
Does evolution exist? Oh, yeah. I'm going to watch this thing about Arni or Ardi or... whatever the new skeleton's name is they recently found. Apparently it finally shows the gaps from man to animal.
Why do bubbles float in the air? ...because warm air rises?
Awesome Place of Random
Most embarrassing moment: I really don't feel like getting into this, when you've restricted what we can and cannot say. Suffice it to say it involved a female product, a male friend, some large pants, a red sharpie, and the entire school.
First kiss (where, who): Ahahah'... I honestly don't remember. Like, I kissed some kid named Merlin back in first grade? But I think my first "real" kiss was taken by... some guy I knew named Jonathon. I THINK.
Three random facts about yourself:
I. I never thought I'd end up with a man, let alone married to him and the mother of a beautiful daughter we both brought into this world.
II. I can't stand to drink beer. For some reason, it ALWAYS makes me throw up, regardless of how much other alcohol I've had that night. It's almost sad.
III. I'm a female, and I rather enjoy Opie and Anthony's radio show... despite their crude attitudes toward women.
Author notes
Since I'm feeling HORRIBADLY lazy, I'm just going to steal Rose's little message thinger. ;D Teehee. ♥

Wow, okay...kitty on my lap makes it very hard to type, roflmao.
ANYWAY....yeah, this was an interesting read, muh' dah'ling. =P I always see how much we have in common every thing I read things like these. You went into more detail about your thoughts, obviously...while I was kinda cut and dry? But our ideas seem rather similar regardless, as it always seems. XD
I'm glad you entered 'cause I miss seeing you post stuff. ;D SO...a survey is better than nothing at all in my opinion, lmao. And I'm rather amused that you decided to steal my little spiel. =P It was mostly for the last fact I wrote down, but I'm sure it could apply to a variety things we both have written down, lulz.
Either way, love seeing your little brain in motion and love you too, honey. ;] Oh yer'. ♥

Okay just one question. About the author's note. Non-negativly. Whay is praying for your soul bad? I can understand it like when people to it to seem "holier" than you, when its being disrespectful, but in my mind praying counts as the good thoughts. Like love is the sadness if someone dies, so you love a lot of people. So I kind of get what you're saying, but...its wrapping my headache around.

Praying for one's general well being is fine. If you know that myself or someone close to me is struggling with an illness, an addiction, or something of that ilk, then sending vague "good thoughts" in those directions is fine. However, if you are convinced that I'm going to burn in hell for not sharing your beliefs, then those are the kinds of prayers I can do without.
I'm not trying to sound rude or anything, I assure you; I'm just coming out of a sever flu, so my mind is a little mushed right now.
Sorry in advanced, however, if it came across as rude.
