I'll bite. First I'll do self-evaluation according to SpaceCase's ones, then I'll give my own.

1.People that aren't afraid to be themselves
Check.
2.People that are REAL
I don't know. I think I'm real, but I'm never quite fully sure of these things.
3.People that have a LIFE
Well, I'm not a ghost (or am I?) so... check.
4.People that are fun
Does it count if I'm often the one having fun while everyone else is being confused?
5.People that aren't afraid to admit their mistakes and are quick to apologize
Check.
6.People that have a sense of humor.
I think I might have one of those, but I'm not sure.
7.People that are comfortable with being different
Covered by 1. Check.

What I dislike in people:

1.People that are intolerant of things that they clearly don't understand
Hmm... I dunno. I think I've got issues with intolerance of some things, so I'll have to say this one applies to me. :(
2.People that are ignorant
Again, this applies to me. I don't know everything, I just act like I do.
3.People that pretend to be smarter than they really are
First one that I'm clean of. I try to pretend to be dumber than I am more often than not. Makes people underestimate me.
4.People that draw attention to themselves by doing something really stupid
Hoo-boy. I got the nickname "rock on" in middle school for it, and I still occasionally do something stupid enough to earn myself a nickname. :/
5.People that start sh*t/drama/aruguments/fights
Hmm... depends. I do it sometimes, but I'd like to think I usually have just cause.
6.PEOPLE THAT ARE F***ING POSERS!! !! !! !
Nope, I don't do 3D art at all.

As for my own...

Eh, "And it harm none, do as you will." Covers pretty much all of my likes and dislikes, except perhaps my great fondness for fat women, as they are aesthetically pleasing, warm, squishy, and tend to appreciate my cooking, and that is a beautiful thing.

Actually, that was very poetically put. It was quite good to read, really.

As for my likes and dislikes in people:
Likes:

  • Kindness and friendliness
  • Patience
  • A sense of humor
  • Appreciation for a diversity of perspectives and opinions
  • Optimism, ability to find the good in almost everything
  • Firmness in moral principles without being arrogant or critical (i.e., they will quietly do what's right and not judge others harshly for a lack or difference in principles, thus diligently building a reputation for responsibility and understanding)
Dislikes:

  • Personal negativity (i.e., readiness to find character defects, bad taste, and other flaws in people)
  • Unwillingness to accept people as they are
  • Exclusion of others because they don't "fit in"
  • Demeaning people
  • Cruelty
  • Hypocrisy
  • Imposing excessive rules and procedure for the sake of having rules and procedure
  • Dishonesty and an unwillingness to be open with the truth (without delivering the truth maliciously)
  • Unwillingness to improve self (because life is full of pitfalls and it's impossible to be perfect but it's always possible to endeavor happily towards the ideal)

Thanks, SpaceCase and NeantHumain. I was hoping to find something better than that "baloney" line. That was a stumper.

My highest goal. Not for the sake of reputation, but for the sake of sanity.

- would rather stay home and watch movies than party
- are intelligent
- are modest
- dont quote tv shows every 5 minutes grr o.o
- dont do drugs
- dont drink a lot
- are motivated to do what they need to do... like... im lazy but i get my crap done... ;p

i dont usually like people that

- take advantage of others
- don't get my sense of humor
- are easily offended
- look down on others with diff religious or political views
- often talk just for the sake of talking.. when there's really nothing to talk about
- people who talk on their cell phones during movies in the theater
- do stupid things for attention
- get fake tanning so much they look like a wrinkly pumpkin.

I like people that..

1. Don't make you feel left out!

2. Who will understand your mistakes!

3. That will contact you when they can!

4. And who will die for you!

5. And are honest!

I dislike people who are..

1. Nasty and are full of hate!

2. And will never get in contact with you!

3. Who cheat lie and make you feel unhappy!

4. And people that leave you in the playground on your own!

5. And last of all people who go with the flow!

Also the leaving in the playground one is based on what my freinds did to me at school! when i was at the age of 12! it was my first time at secondry school and they just ran away and left me in the playground on my own! i was just stood there with a stupid complicated time table! i just remember crying all alone! *sigh* and nobody cared!

likes:

1) People who take time to know me before judgement is passed.
2) Old people (I have the taste of a 75 year old man)
3) People with my dry sense of humor.
4) People who hold athority over me.
5) People who do not get the whole story and just assume you are being mean (we all know what happens when you assume)

dislikes:
1) People who make personal insults directed only to hurt and hold no humorous value.
2) People that are mean about my said dry sense of humor.
3) People who are under 30 (for the most part they are the most abusive)
4) People who put vality in fads, stars, singers and such and cannot make an opinion of THEIR OWN

This is one of my pet peeves!! ! A chatterbox is my worst nightmare!!
(I have two children and a husband like this (go figure) and I have to practice alot of counting to 100000000 and deep breathing techniques so I don't go nuts or scream at them. Of course, they can all get together and drive each other nuts!!)
