accio VOTES!

hey everyone! this community looks so awesome.

Name: leah.
Age (must be at least thirteen): twenty (it still feels weird to type that).
Describe your personality positively in five words: funny, chill, straightforward, open, unique.
Describe your personality negatively in five words: anxious, sarcastic, lazy, blunt, lonely.
Strengths (talents, skills, etc.): art (i do portraiture and figure painting), impersonations, writing. 
Weaknesses (anywhere you feel you need improvement): organizational skills, motivation, and definitely math.
In your opinion, what are some of the most important qualities a person should have?: i think the happiest and most beautiful people are those who have accepted themselves and allow others to live their lives without criticism. to me, that means that they are balanced and appreciative of life. i also think humor and romance are must-haves!
Some of your pet peeves: being interrupted, crunchy hair (when one uses hair gel on curls and then it dries like ramen), those who wait to talk rather than listen.
Would you like to stamped as a female character, male character, or either?: whatever! gender is a social construct. =)
Which magical ability would you most like to have?: probably occlumency - it's kind of sinister but only because you can rummage through a human mind.
Which house do you think you would be sorted into and why?: definitely ravenclaw. i place high value on cleverness, wit, and intelligence, and i feel like i could only save the day with problem-solving and not sheer strength or bravery. 
Which characters do you like and why?: i really like luna lovegood, because she seems to have this otherworldly, special point of view that can only be achieved by completely removing yourself from proper society. i'm also completely fascinated by harry, because he proves that heroes are more tragic than villains - when it's your destiny and compulsion to only do good, you have to reject the natural dark side of yourself, and i love to see him wrestle with that.
Which characters don't you like and why?: i was always annoyed by hermione's function as a "plot dump," where her unexplainable mental databank of kowledge was used simply to move the story along. but i suppose that's a bone to pick with JK rowling.
Post at least two clear photos of yourself:
