semihero_pietroWell, I'm sitting here trying to avoid the ruckass going on downstairs. Seems Toad is hitting on my sister again, and I know she doesn't need me doing the whole "twin brother protective" act on her she'd only hex me anyway, and I saw that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
a_nightingale had done this, and thought it would be cool to do one as well.
Twenty Things About Quicksilver
1. I'm not American. I'm actually Romanian. I didn't come to America until I was three, and even then I'm not sure how we got here can be considered legal. But no one's ever learned the wiser.
2. I miss having my family. I still remember my adoptive parents, the Maximoffs. We used to be very close, and I always felt safe and loved there. When they died in the building fire, Wanda and I were devestated. But our lives changed so rapidly after that we never really got a chance to mourn.
3. I love my sister probably more than I will ever tell her. When we were growing up, I was always told to protect her... and I couldnt' do a thing when she was dragged into that mental hospital, nor could I help get her out. Face it, even though I'm a mutant, I'm still only 17. It's not like they'd let me sign her out for the day and just never bring her back.
4. I always felt it was my fault she was taken away. I was able to get ahold of my powers pretty quickly, and I wonder if she tried too hard to keep up with me, and that was why she lost control.
5. I ran away from my father when I was twelve. After that, I lived in a foster home in the Bronx. It was there that I learned to play basketball, as well as chess.
6. I can only play speed chess. Real chess is too slow for me. But I rule at speed chess.
7. I NEVER USE MY POWERS WHEN I PLAY BASKETBALL. No matter what Daniels says.
8. I do have my pride, you know? I mean, ok, I have an ego... eveyone has an ego, they just have different volumes in how they display theirs. Mine's on 11, but I CAN turn it down. You just have to ask and hope that I actually like you enough to listen.
9. I was never asked to join the X-Men. It was just automatically assumed that since I was fighting with Daniels, and that he was Storm's nephew, that I was the bad guy. Even Freddy, Lance and Toad were asked, and Xavier spent long hours with my sister, and they took Rogue even after she WAS a member of the Brotherhood, but not me. Not that I'd actually join now, but you know, it WOULD have been nice to be asked. I might have even gone, if they had asked me before I really took it out on Daniels.
10. Daniels still deserved everything I did to him.
11. I'm smart. Not genuis smart like Professor McCoy, but I'm pretty high up there. I can't take an IQ test because i don't have the patience for it, and if I do it at my full speed, they assume I'm cheating. But I've always gotten straight A's in my honors classes (yeah, I'm in honors... bite me ok?) and have all my homework done during last period that I don't have to do it at night when i get home.
12. I'll also admit that I have a lot to learn. I enjoy learning. It gives me something to do, and you'd be amazed at how much women like smart guys.
13. I wish my father paid more attention to me, then to his whole world domination ideals. I'd follow him to the ends of the earth and back, if only to get him to actually spend time with me that didn't involve terrorism.
14. I like to dance. The agility that comes with my mutation makes it evry easy for me to move around and not look like I'm having a seizure. But there's not alot of good music these days, though I enjoy a good techno beat.
15. My hair is naturally white, and won't take to hair dyes. I've tried, trust me. You think I like standing out like this? Image is everything, after all. But I've learned to make the white hair look GOOD... now I just have to figure out how to get rid of these damn speed fins that my bangs turn into after I've taken a run.
16. It does not take a change of sexual orientation to be able to learn how to put an outfit together. Trust me. I'm straight, and I know that plaids and stripes do not go together.
17. I know how to play twenty musical instruments. However, I'm the best at the drums. I can hear rhythyms easily and usually use them to help me when i run to keep on pace, but it can be turned around and used as drum beats as well.
18. I don't scare easily. There are only three things that can get the better of me - Wanda's hexing, Mystique's weapons, and my fatherthough there is something to be said about Wolverine's claws...
19. I'd rather be a good guy, and not one of the bad guys. I only really stay because of my dedication to Magneto, my friends, and my sister. But that's not something I'd say aloud just because my father can and probably would kill me if I did.
20. I think Rogue is beautiful, and would love to take a chance on her, but I doubt it's gonna happen. She has a thing forstick up his ass Summers.
Ok, that's done. Took all of a minute. Time to find something else!

Date: 2005-12-29 08:15 pm (UTC)But yeah, I've thought about it. But I'm also dedicated to my friends, and they aren't welcome there anymore than I am, and why would I turn "traitor" on a group of guys who at least treat me like a comrade? And now with my sister here... *shrugs*
and the fact that my dad's the leader might have a factor here toono subject
