[/b]The easy S T U F F . . .Name: Alista Sabina Castillo
Nickname: She introduces herself to strangers as Alista or Lis, or on a rare occasion Sabina if she feels like it. Her online handle is Derpina.
Age: Nineteen (May 27, 1994)
Orientation: Pansexual
She’s quite misandrist, so men are decidedly not her preferred gender.
Member Group: Local, recent dropout from the University of Vermont trying to get her footing in the proverbial ‘real world.’ She’d prefer something that has her working with technology, though she would settle for just about any job right now. The most appealing job to her right now is a job at The Quarter Note, the music store in the mall.
She went to Hammel from Fall 2007 to Spring 2012 (7th-12th grade, 12-18 years old). She went to the University of Vermont for the Spring 2013 semester and part of the Fall 2013 semester, which she dropped out of.
Power(s): Technopathy
Alista has an excellent intuitive grasp on the inner workings of technology, and can influence and communicate with it with a touch or with her mind. Her ability to manipulate technology is much greater when she is in physical contact with the device at hand, though she has a small degree of influence over it just by being in close physical proximity with it.
[li]When she says that use of technology is like breathing to her, she means it. It’s a powerful psychological need for her to consistently interact with complex technology of some kind. Going without for even a day will make her distracted and irritable, and doing so for any significant length of time puts her into a depressive state, or withdrawal.
[/li][li]She has somewhat of an inability to relate to people on an emotional level. Part of this is probably a result of her being on her phone or computer half the time that she's talking to others, but a significant part of it is her own disconnect from her emotions. This relates to her tendency to intellectualize everything (and intellectualize her emotions and desires out of existence), though it's hard to tell which causes the other.
[/li][li]Hydrophobia, to the extent that she strongly prefers to eat dry foods (never soup, ever) and only ever drinks out of an opaque water bottle (or a beer bottle). She’s had panic attacks from being out in the rain for extended periods before, and only ever went to a pool or similar aquatic setting before her powers manifested. Her hydrophobia could be to the point where it is pathological, but she’s never been evaluated and doesn’t want to be (for various reasons, including a distrust of institutions in general and a weariness towards psychiatry).
[/li][li]Because the Internet is always active, she keeps odd and inconsistent hours which are mostly subject to the whims of her online activity. Some days she might fall asleep at 9PM, others at 5AM.
[/li][li]Constant static cling. Not a huge deal, but mildly annoying.[/li][/ul]

Everyone has their vices, and mine is alcohol. Sex too, on a good day, though I haven’t been having many of those recently.
Welcome to another Drunk Tumblr Fest, brought to you by your friendly local Lis! I’m only half a bottle of beer in, but I promise that’s gonna change pretty quick here. So send me your questions and I’ll answer them drunkenly. Or not. Whatever.

ugh ur such a loser u need to get out more often. do u spend all day on tumblr????
So I’m, like, 99% sure this is just a troll, but I’m tipsy so I’m gonna answer it anyways I guess.
I actually do spend a fair amount of time outside of my little hole (….uh, yeah). Believe me, I don’t wanna spend more time in these dorms than I have to. I'm just on my phone the whole time I'm outside.
Here's the thing: for me, technology is like breathing. Other than basic biological functions, it's quite literally the one thing that comes the most naturally to me. Hacking, social media, web design, tinkering with electronics, pulling them apart and putting them back together - they're basically a part of me, natural extensions of me, and a day without them is a day wasted. Just talk to the people who have to deal with me on those days. They'll agree.
Also keep in mind that I can, like, think a sentence onto my phone or computer. It doesn’t take all that long for me to post. Five minutes at most, I think? Technopathy, y’know.

Why do you hate men so much? Half your posts are tagged #misandry.
I could talk about how male socialization often leads to entitlement, or otherwise go all feminist-analysis on you... but I'm gonna share a personal story because apparently that's what I do when I'm drunk?
Ever heard this song? Yeah, I thought so. That song was my jam for a good year and a half of my life.
It was high school, I had just recently come out, I was the most insecure motherfucker you've ever seen. Enter Dude. Dude told me I was pretty, smart, worthwhile... y'know, the whole nine yards. And I fucking fell for it. Of course, Dude turned out to be a chaser and worse, and made me feel like shit the moment I gave any sign of being different from the Trans Latina Fantasy he had in his mind.
I can hear the indignant voices already: "But Lis, how can you paint all men with the same brush? Not All Men Are Like That!" Well, I have to take it at your word that these good men actually exist, because I've never met them. Literally every significant male in my life has either been completely absent or a toxic little piece of crap. My father (absent), my brother (toxic), the boys who taunted me in high school (toxic).
Intellectually I know that decent men exist out there... somewhere. But if it takes so much effort to find them, why should I care? I'm doing just fine without them. Or, at least, I wouldn't be any better off with them.

What are you like in real life? Are you anywhere near this blunt or snarky?
Apparently? People tell me I'm forward and that I'm socially awkward, so I guess so. I mostly just don't take crap and don't always understand what's going on... I'm actually pretty okay at understanding other peoples' emotions, I just don't always know what to do with them. Hence: socially awkward as hell.

have any tattoos? piercings? do u want any?
Yes, yes, and meh. I have some tattoos on my arms, though you don't get to know the meaning. I think they fit well with the whole punk aesthetic I have going... To give you an idea of my aesthetic: I wear some bracelets and occasionally a necklace, but I mostly like dressing minimalist and having everything just kinda speak for itself. Dyed hair (usually red, shoulder length with a funky cut), tight-ish clothes, torn jeans. I really feel like I'm to a point where I'm mostly comfortable with my body - which, I mean, I worked hard to get to that point - so I'm a bit more comfortable wearing tight things that show it off. Maybe that's just because I have curves now and want to show them off, hehe.
As for piercings, I have a few on my ears, one on my nose, and one on my lip. Don't think I really want any more right now, but I guess we'll see.

Why’d you decide to leave college? What are you planning to do instead?
Wooh, where to begin? I never really got along with school ever, even in subjects that interested me. I just don't do well with the institutionalization of learning, and at school it's so fucking rigorous and structured. I always wanted to do my own thing, and I am actually motivated to learn on my own. It got to the point, in college, where the money I had earned was running out, and I just figured... what's the point of taking out loans for this? It'll just force me to keep going to college and keep getting more loan debt in the hopes of getting a job that'll pay well enough to pay it off eventually... I have my own shit I wanna do, and I'd rather leave while I still have a bit of money left over to get settled somewhere.
My mom isn't a big fan, of course. I know she always saw me doing the whole 'American dream' thing, that was her big dream for all her kids, to have everything she didn't. She basically bought into the whole 'move to America and life will be better for your kids' thing, and did everything she could to make sure we were financially better off than she was growing up... I dunno what to tell her, I appreciate everything she's done for me, but I honestly think I'll be happier like this.
I'm planning to move back to Pilot Ridge, since I went to high school at Hammel. Yeah, I know I transitioned in high school and all that, but I made some good friends too, and it's hard to establish a new social group completely from the ground up. I guess I'll get a job somewhere and find a roommate to ease up rent a bit, and other than that... well, I was thinking of trying my hand at some DJing at some point? I love techno and electronica, and it's one of the only genres of music where the instruments are almost entirely electronic, so. I guess, just... see where life takes me from there?
P.S. HII SELENE

It was raining. Fuck.
Alista groaned loudly and turned over in bed, stuffing her face into the pillow. She had been planning on doing things outside that day, but she wasn't so sure anymore. Rain was never good, least of all on days when she needed to finalize her withdrawal from school and otherwise attend to Official BusinessTM. Couldn't it just fuck off and come on a day that was more convenient for her?!
Unfortunately, however, she didn't have the power of weather manipulation, and business still had to be attended to. With a hefty sigh, Alista sat up and ran a hand through her shoulder-length dyed hair. At least she would be out of this place soon, and onto better things. She swung her legs over the edge of the lofted bed and fell to the ground with a thud, grabbing her phone for her morning Internet fix. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr... each site had its own unique feel, and each site energized her in its own way.
She hesitantly glanced outside to find that the rain had lightened up slightly, and was now a slight mist. She sighed in relief. Sure, if she had it her way she sill wouldn't be outside in this weather, but at least it was slightly tolerable now. Maybe. If she didn't stay outside for more than five minutes at a time. Alista grabbed for her jeans and shirt, slipping a jacket on in her way out the door. Might as well get it over with, huh?
