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!.

I don't want too big a house because it's too much cleaning. My homes have been mostly small and now I need to spread out, but still not too big. I'd like a yard, and if that's not possible just to be in an area where there's grass and trees around, maybe parks, as long as it's not all pavement. I'm big on nice clean bathrooms with good plumbing (never underestimate the power of a perfect showerhead), and I want a house that gets good natural lighting. Energy efficient windows, hardwood floors, and a big library would be swell. Oh, and a breakfast nook, I looooove breakfast.

I love having all four seasons, it gives you something new to look forward to. Autumn is my favorite, all 5 days of it that we get lately. Too much heat knocks me out and too much winter makes me a little gloomy, though by now I have a 5 month winter tolerance which is something. I want to be near a city because I like visiting them often, but I wouldn't want to live right in the heart of downtown since the traffic would drive me nuts. Uptown or in an outlying suburb would be great. I moved to a tiny town in a rural area for a while and didn't manage the isolation well.

My happiest time was living north of Chicago right on the lake.


2. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.

Failure: I don't like having people be disappointed in me or not meeting expectations. But it's good motivation too.

Marionettes and mannequins: I won't run from the room or anything, but they cause me great unease. Especially clown dolls, way to freak me out. I'm not fond of real clowns either but at least they can make balloon animals.

Losing control: I hate not being in control of myself, even when alone. I refrain from controlling others so that I can define my own boundaries and what's mine to control. Which is supposed to work in theory. Sometimes it's hard to relax.


3. What is your favorite aspect of your physical appearance and why?

My hair, it's thick and long and wavy. It's a hassle when its humid out and I always have to get it cut a certain way so it doesn't poof too hugely, but it gets compliments sometimes.


4. If you could change one thing about your physical appearance, what would you change and why?

I'd be taller. Then I could ride all the rides at 6 Flags ;)


5. Imagine you’re given the classic opportunity: a genie granting you three wishes. What would you wish for? Wishing for more wishes is not permitted!

First wish: Money. My dad is ill and needs to retire, and my mom (after previously mentioned not-so-great move to nondescript rural area) has had financial problems, so I'd settle all their debts and move them to their ideal locations. My mom would be near her sisters on the east coast and dad I'd set up in a nice little place in sunny San Diego where he'd have a bank account big enough to put my sisters through college.

Second wish: An all expenses paid trip around the world for me and my best friend. I have that cliched desire to See The World before I *gulp* grow up for good.

Third wish: More discipline. More school means more discipline. *wimper*
Edit: I'm going to go ahead and elaborate. I haven't been in school for a few years and am totally out of the habit, so I have no work ethic any more at all. I'm not really a disciplined person by nature, just when I have to be. It wouldn't matter to me if there wasn't a necessity, on my own I'm quite happy to be lazy ;)

6. In your life so far, what accomplishment are you the most proud of? You can list more than one if you have trouble deciding. ;)

I guess in junior year of college I took extra classes and got straight A's. Boring, but after a terrible sophomore year it felt amazing. And then my work for a lab senior year. And then coming back and walking again after a car accident in high school.


7. Which of the following is most important to you: Love, Money, Knowledge, Family, Friendship, Adventure, or Pleasure? Which is the least important to you?

I'm guessing "love" in this sense means romance and not family or friends, and money means a surplus of money and not just enough to get by. Soooo let's say from most to least: Family/Friendship, Knowledge, Adventure, Love, Money, Pleasure


8. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values?

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies - The Shawshank Redemption


9. How do you manage your money? On that note, how important is money/financial security to you?

I like sitting down ahead of time and budgeting so I know my limits, if possible. Financial security is important and getting more so in the current economic environment since being on my own is now more of a reality. I don't need tons of money but I like a nice cushion and I save for contingencies. Still, money exists for spending and I don't get jollies from just sitting on it. If there's a need, I'll spend it. My weakness is spending money when with friends - you know, when you're out doing the town and you want the fun to keep rolling. But it's never gotten out of hand.


10. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?

I like reading, novels and some poetry and the internet. Despite my guitar and piano I'm a hopeless musician but I still enjoy, and certainly I like to listen to it and like finding new artists and genres. I'm not really a movie buff but I like them, and watching them with more knowledgeable friends. I used to go to the gym but I've gotten really lazy lately, which is bad since I consider eating an extra-curricular activity. I have a small number of tv shows I'll follow at a given time. I'm a total klutz and I suck at sports but I love being outdoors, and I follow tennis and local baseball. Often I like just driving to nowhere in particular.

11. Name (and elaborate on) your top three BEST and top three WORST qualities (personality-related, not physical).

BEST
Curious: More important than finding out who you know more than and who you know less than is just to keep learning more, I think it's been useful for me.
Perseverant: Giving up makes me feel dirty.
Open-minded: I don't like judging people quickly or assuming I know them. First impressions happen but it's important to remember that people are vast.

WORST
Procrastinating: I should really get around to fixing this someday.
Too affected by environment: I wish I could block out my surroundings more.
Proud: Everyone needs some pride but maybe I have too much? I often compromise, but that leads to resentment sometimes if I'm the only one initiating it, so I still count it.





A Song of Ice and Fire Related

1.Which is your favorite book of the series so far? What about your least favorite?
Game is still my favorite, I like the way the plot just unwound. Least favorite is probably Clash but I still loved it, Tyrion pwning all and Littlefinger pwning Tyrion, I think I was still just in mourning over Ned.

2.Who are your favorite three characters in the series?
Catelyn, Jaime, and ... I really don't know. Probably a little trinity of Arya, Sansa, and Brienne in a tie for third. But then there's Ned too. Yeah, I really don't know.

3.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series?
I don't enjoy Dany's and Jon's storylines as much (and Bran's after he leaves Winterfell) but I can't say I hate the characters, I just hope their arcs pick up. I guess I prefer the rest of the stuff to the supernatural so far. I hate Littlefinger but I love hating him, and Cersei too, there's a whole mix of hate and love and and fascination there. So let's go with ... Joffrey, Euron/Victarion, and Darkstar -- don't miss, wouldn't miss, and am first in line to toss off a cliff (what was that I said about not judging too quickly?).

4.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far?
I hate this question, but I usually go with Jaime's interrogation. Sansa's snow castle was awesome too.

5. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end?
I want Winterfell to be rebuilt and in the hands of the Starks, who need to all live (though I doubt it *sadface*). I can't decide if I want the kingdoms to stay together or not, I think it'd be interesting if some stayed together and some didn't. I would like to see the Greyjoys kind of permanently taken out, just because I don't see how such a culture can go on for too long, it's not feasible! I want Brienne to live. I don't see how the dragons could survive either really. I would like some Freys to die. And though I love him in my way, I want Littlefinger to die. Mostly I just want the rules of Martinverse to stay intact and I want the magic incorporated well, I don't want some silly unbelievable ending even if it hurts. And you know it will.
