All About You
1. Describe your ideal house/home. Please go into as much detail as possible, and be sure to include your ideal geographical location in the description!.
For a very long time I imagined that the place I was meant to be was somewhere idyllic in the English countryside, but as I have gotten older that image has really changed. Maybe because it is too close to my actual life, and I always need a fantasy to keep me going.
My ideal house is very warm and open, with large windows and stone floors that are kept warm by the heat of the sun. The sort of place where you would have light, sheer curtains down to the floor that blow in the breeze. The walls would be painted bright colours, but the furniture and decorations would end up being quite messy and a hodgepodge of all of the things I had collected throughout my life. I would also like to have a fireplace for cool evenings; I like the idea of being able to keep the windows and doors open but to have a fire going that we could curl up around.
The house itself would be somewhere in the Mediterranean, either in Italy, France or Greece, and overlooking the water. We would have a garden, or maybe even an orchard, and a little dirt path we could walk along to go down to the sea. A small village would suit me quite well, where I could just walk down the hill to go to the shops or sit in a bar and talk to my neighbours. A good mix of feeling at once isolated, but also well-known by the people you live around.
2. Imagine you’re given the classic opportunity: a genie granting you three wishes. What would you wish for? Please be as elaborate as you can. Wishing for more wishes is not permitted!
1 - To spend one week in someone else's shoes. I would love to be able to spend just one week living what I think would be an ultimate fantasy. Rich, famous, married to some gorgeous man, and not having to worry about anything but having a good time. I would want to see what it is like to be the popular one, and to never really have to worry about money.
2 - To be able return to my normal life feeling more content with what I actually do have. While all of that glitz and glamour might be nice, in the end I would likely get bored of it. And in my normal life I am generally very happy, though I have a tendency to jealousy and self-dissatisfaction. I can go from thinking I am pretty and intelligent to wishing I was as pretty as another person. I have also "suffered" from the O in OCD for a very long time, meaning that I often fixate myself on things. These things can be a fear of disease, a fear of failure, or a love for a sport or a celebrity. I try very hard to keep the obsessions focussed on the good things, but even those are detrimental to my reality. I often use fandom as a crutch, when I should be concentrating more on the wonderful things around me. I think this is something that will improve with age, but I cannot help but think of all of the things I could accomplish if I were more consistently happy in my own skin.
3 - To not have to worry about visas. When I was eighteen I moved to England to go to university, and ever since I have been living from one set of paperwork to the next in order to either live in the country I want or with the person I want. I would love to be able to live an existence where I could just go between countries and live wherever I wanted.
3. In your life so far, what accomplishment are you the most proud of? Why? You can list more than one if you have trouble deciding. ;)
Moving to England. I had always wanted to go to university in England, and though my college counsellors in high school tried their hardest to dissuade me, I went anyway. I am proud of this for several reasons. For one, it was likely the bravest thing I have ever done. At this point in my life I was still a bit crippled by shyness, and I am very close to my immediate family. Secondly, it was the first time that I ever made a life-changing decision and carried it out all by myself. Because my high school was so uncooperative, it was up to me to find out about what paperwork I needed, how to go about setting up a place to live and getting a bank account. To this day I am really not sure how I managed to do it all and not kill myself, but it was the beginning of really knowing that I can fend for myself.
4. Which of the following is most important to you: Love, Money, Knowledge, Family, Friendship, Adventure, or Pleasure? Which is the least important to you? Please explain why for each choice.
I flitted between each one of the options for a while, but I think I will have to settle on pleasure. I suppose because that way, it doesn't matter what you have or what you don't have, so long as it makes you feel good. I have always described myself as being a bit of a hedonist, simply because I love to be surrounded by beautiful and pleasurable things. That is not to say that I am overly into vice of any kind; I think I tend to get my pleasures from simple things like food and a good book.
The least important for me would likely be friendship, though that does not mean that it is completely unimportant to me. I have just never been a person who has kept friends for a long time, despite generally being able to make them quite quickly. This might be because I have moved a lot in my life and am very bad at keeping in touch, but I am also just able to enjoy my own company as much as I would the company of others. The friends that I do have in my life are very important to me, but I have seen so many come and go that I am never overly surprised when they just fizzle out.
5. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? Explain.
This is a really difficult question for me, as I really don't care for quotes, nor do I have a memory for them. Even the songs that I love don't really have much to do with how I think about myself, so they would be inappropriate as well. So I googled quotes by Lord Byron, whose poetry I like very much, and came up with this:
"A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands."
For one, I just really enjoy this image and the language style. Secondly, what I will take from this is not that women should strive to please men, but that women should strive to please themselves. Every woman deserves nothing but the best in life, and that is what I look for myself.
6. How do you manage your money? On that note, how important is money/financial security to you? Go into as much detail as you can.
I am very poor at managing my money, though I am never late on bills or payments. Most of my paychecks tend to end up being spent on things I shouldn't be buying, like even more clothes and nice dinners out. I try to keep some money in savings, just in case I ever need to flee the country, but for the most part I end up living paycheck to paycheck. I hate the idea of credit cards, though, and if I did not have to have one then I wouldn't. I don't see the point in spending money that isn't yours, only to get in trouble and have to go into debt later. I hate money, and yet I always want more of it.
7. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?
Fashion - I am a big clothes horse; I really love to feel sexy or powerful, and my clothes play a big part in that. Much of my money is also spent on either clothes themselves or on fashion magazines.
Cooking - I would say that I enjoy eating more than almost anything else in the world, sex included. But I am also a big food snob and have really cultivated my hobby of making my own meals and avoiding any processed food. I love fresh things and trying out new recipes, though I do hate the clean-up that comes afterward.
Music - The first thing I do every morning is to put on some music, and it probably stays on until right before I go to bed. I was brought up on a bit of everything, but above all I would say that I love anything that has a good melody and is sung by a beautiful voice. However, I do have a massive addiction to the 80s and to classical music.
Sport - If my fifteen year old self were sitting here and writing this, she would have scoffed at the thought of adding sport to my hobbies, but it's become a reality for me. For the longest time I thought that I couldn't play a sport well because I didn't start when I was little, and so I ignored it. But being with my current boyfriend I have gotten into playing tennis, and I adore it. For the first time in my life I have muscle definition in my arms, and I honestly never thought I would see this day. I also spend a lot of time running and swimming.
Theatre - I discovered my love of theatre in high school, when I realised that there was finally something I wasn't completely rubbish at. It's just fun, and a chance to be something you're not for a little while. It is also a wonderful place for vain people like me to get some of that vanity out of their systems.
All of these things really come back to what I said earlier about being a hedonist. I love things that give me pleasure.
8. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.
Loss - I think most people are afraid of this. I fear loss in pretty much all of its forms: losing a loved one, losing my mind or a part of my body, and losing sentimental items. Sometimes I am even afraid of losing things that aren't particularly sentimental, but it's more about the fact that they're mine and need to stay mine.
Cancer - Probably because it's the most publicised of all diseases, and because both of my parents had it young, I am very frightened of getting cancer. Also, the thought of it being inside of my body and me not knowing about it until I have a week to live scares me. I would much rather know what is going on in my body at all times.
Icebergs/Whales - And just large things that lurk under the water in general. I don't really know how to describe the fear it instills me, just the thought of being in the water next to something so large, and stuck in the middle of the ocean with something coming to get me from below...even looking at pictures of icebergs sometimes gives me the creeps.
9. Name (and elaborate on) your top three BEST and top three WORST qualities (personality-related, not physical). Please answer as fully as you can, as this is an important question.
Intelligence/Wit - I like to think that I am quite intelligent and witty. I have always enjoyed learning, and really thrive when I am with other people who appreciate knowledge as much as I do.
Confidence - It took me a very long time to acquire it, but I have become a very confident person. When I was a teenager I was the sort of person who could not even ask a salesperson if they had a skirt in a larger size, but growing up I have really come out of my shell and kind of gone to the other end of the spectrum. I have come to really appreciate my good qualities, and to take a lot of pride in them.
Passion - A friend once told me that one of the things he liked about me the most was that I always seemed to be in love with something, whether it was a person, a place, an activity, or what have you. When I find something I like I do tend to become a bit fanatical about it, wanting to know everything I can and to do it as much as possible. I tend to hold onto crushes for a very, very long time, and am never without a celebrity love. Again, I try to channel my obsessive nature into making myself feel good.
Vanity - With my confidence has come a bit of vanity, and sometimes I notice this becomes a bit of a bad thing. It is always good to like things about yourself, but from time to time I do allow myself to criticise others in order to make myself feel better. I guess everyone does this, but it's still not great.
Unreliability - While I am one of the most punctual people in the world, I am also very forgetful and highly disorganised. If something is not urgently important (like bills or birthdays) then I will likely forget to do it, or get distracted in the process and end up doing it incorrectly. I work as an admin, and I have to admit that I am not the best one out there when it comes to these types of things. I used to be, and to be honest I don't know what has gone wrong since then, but I have become really bad at it.
Selfishness - A part of this comes from being an only child, but I do have a difficult time thinking about how others might feel. The other day I was going up the stairs of my building and there was a woman trying to lift some heavy boxes, and initially I walked right by her. A couple of seconds later it clicked, and I turned around to ask if she needed a hand, but my normal setting just seems to be Me Me Me. I am trying to get better about it, but it takes time.
A Song of Ice and Fire Related
1.Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Why?
Petyr Baelish - I tend to really love reading villains, and Petyr for me is just deliciously written to the point where I actually find him quite sexy (and even named my iPhone after him...) I hope this does not make you think I am a horrible person, as if it were reality then I would never fancy anyone so horrible, but fantasies are safe places where you can allow your imagination to go wild. I also just admire his cunning and way with words.
Brienne of Tarth - I have always been drawn to people who are deemed by others as "unfortunate" or "ugly", but who excel because of their personal resilience. Brienne is beset by something which is a real hardship in the environment in which she lives, and yet she works very hard to overcome it and be more than just what she was born as. She tries very hard to be true to herself, and that is something to respect.
Tyrion Lannister - Rather along the same lines as my admiration for Brienne, I like Tyrion because he does not completely give up on himself. He is a drunk and escapist, but at the same time he knows who he is and does not just exile himself to a life of pleasures and getting drunk until he's found dead in ditch somewhere. He still fights and makes the best of the situation he is in. Not to mention the fact that he's hilarious.
2.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Why?
Joffrey Baratheon - I don't think this one takes much explaining. There is nothing that really boils my blood as much as bratty bullies, and I cannot think of a single quality that might redeem him in my eyes. I know he might be trying to prove himself to someone, but that is never an excuse for cruelty. Just reading his scenes made me want to put the book down, so GRRM is definitely doing something right.
Davos Seaworth - I must admit that when I turn the page and see that the next chapter is a Davos one, I inwardly groan. I just find him to be bland, and while not every character can be full of interest and excitement, do the boring ones have to be given their own chapters?
Melisandre - The reason I dislike Melisandre has a lot to do with why I dislike Davos, I simply find her rather boring as a character. She improved a bit in DWD, but I still find her as tedious as ever.
3.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why?
Petyr killing Lysa. It was almost as if I could hear him going "BUH BYE" as she cartoonishly toppled to her death. A part of this is due to my like of his character and my general dislike of hers (I am not really fond of whiney, babyish characters no matter what they've been through), but the whole scene was just masterfully crafted. I think I laughed out loud when it happened as well, which is another insight into my fiendish mind...
4. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why?
It's a bit sad to say, but I do love a good happy ending sometimes. I would like to see Daenerys and Jon get together as the all-powerful ruling couple, him being attracted to her power and delicacy, and her being attracted to his roguishness. Sansa should finally get her prince, though he should be someone of more humble birth who can really let her know what love is. Arya should spend her life cultivating her hobbies, and perhaps not marry but instead find a life-long companion whose presence turns into a sort of great love.
Petyr will need his comeuppance, and I wonder if it should be as a slave in one of the Free Cities, or as zombie!Petyr. Likely it will just be death for him. Tyrion should kill his sister, but Jaime should be redeemed in the end and be a lifelong friend to Brienne.

A part of this is due to my like of his character and my general dislike of hers (I am not really fond of whiney, babyish characters no matter what they've been through), but the whole scene was just masterfully crafted. I think I laughed out loud when it happened as well, which is another insight into my fiendish mind...
4. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why?
It's a bit sad to say, but I do love a good happy ending sometimes. I would like to see Daenerys and Jon get together as the all-powerful ruling couple, him being attracted to her power and delicacy, and her being attracted to his roguishness. Sansa should finally get her prince, though he should be someone of more humble birth who can really let her know what love is. Arya should spend her life cultivating her hobbies, and perhaps not marry but instead find a life-long companion whose presence turns into a sort of great love.
Petyr will need his comeuppance, and I wonder if it should be as a slave in one of the Free Cities, or as zombie!Petyr. Likely it will just be death for him. Tyrion should kill his sister, but Jaime should be redeemed in the end and be a lifelong friend to Brienne.
