<i>All About You</i>
1. <b>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!</b>.I Think my ideal place to live would be a town house or flat in Glasgow,Scotland,i have always been fascinated with the culture and lifestyles maybe because its the extreme opposite of where i live at now,also my dad's side of the family is from around there.there's so much to do there and see,the climate is a big part of it as well,Scotland is beautiful and Ive read that certain parts,such as Glasgow do not get incredibly hot,unlike where i am now ,its 8:45pm and currently 87 Degrees.I can not stand Summer,i love winter and rainy weather and just cold weather in general,the cloths are better and the activity's are more to my liking.
Anyway,back to my home,lol
It would be relatively big,maybe 3 bedrooms,2 bathroom.high ceiling,i would like cold and pale colors ,lots of blues and whites and glass with light colored wood. a very clean look to it .a large built-in wall bookcase, i read way more than is healthy.i would like maybe 2 or 3 big windows with blackout blinds (for when i sleep) and sheer white curtains for the rest of the time.i love art so it would defiantly house some of my favorite paintings.also wood floors everywhere except the master bedroom.Easier to clean up after my dogs
The kitchen doesn't have to be huge but big enough to be comfortable moving around and cooking in, also a medium sized dinning area for dinners with friends.all of my kitchenware would be stainless steel. Like my oven and microwave,(preferably both would be built into the wall) dishwasher,fridge Etc also a small sink. tableware would be classic white plates and bowls,Probably any other mismatched dishes i pick up as well.lol
The living room and all other furniture would just be whatever i find comfortable hopefully it would all match.a built in entertainment area with around a 35 inch Tv along with all of my gaming systems(ps3, Wii,X-box) and my extensive video game collection,as well as my dvds.
I must have internet of course.a normal desktop would be fine.the decor as i said earlier would be cool colors,a light airy feel to the room.Good lighting,
The master bedroom would have a HUGE bed,like a California king bed with a fluffy down comforter.a dresser and side tables to match.a bay window so i could sit and read and watch the rain, a small closet.
The other bedroom would be kept simple,queen bed,dresser,side tables.wood floor for visits from family and friends unless one moved in with me then they could decorate it anyway they would like obviously.
That is about as much detail as i can think of lol
2. <b>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!</b>
1.Extensive amount of money,for me,my family and my 2 Closest friends to be financially stable, maybe even wealthy, so none of us would never have to worry about money again.
2.To be very successful in whatever i do in life. being successful usually gets you respect from people,respect is VERY VERY important to me, i conduct myself in a way where i hope i earn my loved ones respect.i would like that from my family,especially my dad,who is never happy with anything i do,lol
3.Immortality for me and my loved ones .i have 2 very close friends who Ive known for 11 years who have gone above and beyond for me.also it would give me time to find and fall in love with someone.
3. <b>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. ;)</b> I haven't done much yet,but i am pretty proud of being nationally ranked,i was on marine rotc drill team and am nationally ranked 26 out of 200 in singles performance...which is out of everyone in the usa.also to be a girl and have that happen is very rare.
4. <b>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.</b> Friendship and loyalty. Love is choice,i think If you are lucky enough to have the first two things love usually is in there somewhere.No one wants to go through life without friends,i love my family but have never felt comfortable enough to share the things i share with my closest friends.loyalty is equal in the sense that you can't be a friend without loyalty in my opinion, there is no sense in it.I think the next down would be Family then knowledge. The least important is pleasure.its nice but its not a necessity for me to be happy.
5. <b>What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? Explain.</b> "Whatever you do in life will be insignificant,but it's very important that you do it". Gandhi
</b>
To me this means,you can sit there and do nothing with your life because you don't think it will make a difference one way or another what you do. Or you can do something with your life even if it is insignificant because atleast then,you did something,you tried.you didn't let your time waste away.</b>
Also "I shall do a minor evil to achieve a greater good.My aim for greater good makes all the evils I have done right."-Machiavelli</b>At the beginning of an action I might not be able to determine whether that action is morally right or wrong, but when the morally right goal is successfully achieved, then the steps which led to it must be morally right too.I think as long as your Intentions are just It doesn't necessarily matter how you got there.just that you got there.
6. <b>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.</b>I ration how i spend my money based on necessity then luxuries.What i need comes first,then i take care of what i Want.It is Important to have money,but i believe MASSIVE amounts of money in one place leave an opening for bad things to happen.Money Corrupts,but it also allows you to take care of yourself,your loved ones and make your problems go away which is why it is so dangerous.
7. <b>Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?</b> I read TONS,i read anything and everything.i love learning so i am always trying to find new things to learn about. video games and comic books are a large part of my hobbies section,i go to the comic store atleast twice a week,i also volunteer at a homeless shelter on weekends twice a month.
8. <b>Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.</b>
1.Being alone,The though of losing everyone i care about and going through life alone is the most horrible thing i can think of.
2.Not living life to the fullest,going through life doing nothing of significances,wasting great opportunity's by being to scared of failure.Not appreciating the things around me.
3.Going deaf,I love laughing and hearing people laugh,not being able to hear that anymore would be horrible.
9. <b>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</b>.
Best Three:
1.I'm Loyal.very loyal,i will do anything for the people i love.If your my friend,thats it.I'm not going anywhere until you truly want me to.
2. I am academic. I am pretty darn smart.I know a little about alot and alot about a little,my friends call me Snapple because i constantly name off random facts...its kinda a nervous habit.
3.I am a very caring person,I LOVE helping people,in any way i can.It makes me feel good about myself.lol i'm generally nice to people.
<br>
Worst Three.
1.I am obsessive. i get something in my mind and I HAVE to do it.lol
2.Sympathy..I don't have alot of it .I have very little sympathy for people sometimes.Especially people who don't try to help themselves first,i don't like babying people.I pretend to be sympathetic sometimes because it makes me feel like a bad person that im not very sympathetic.(If your not very close to me sometimes i just can't help it,but im working on it (i hope people don't think im mean cause i swear im not)!
3.Social anxiety disorder-I get socially anxious sometimes,which means i get panicked around crowds and larger groups of people.
<br>
<i>A Song of Ice and Fire Related</i>
1.<b>Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Why?</b>
1.Robb Stark-I love his storyline,how hes been thrown into this unfortunate situation and is having to become a man,having to demand and earn respect even though he is so young,he doesn't run from his responsibility.He respects his friends and family and is a all around good guy.
2.Arya Stark- I was alot like her when i was little,so its easy for me to relate to her.she doesn't fit into the social norms so shes treated differently because she doesn't want to conform and settle for what everyone else wants for her.Because she acts more like a boy than a girl shes looked at differently.shes a very cool little girl.lol
3.Theon Greyjoy- I think he is a very misunderstood character,hes torn between his loyalty and his family and thats a hard place to be,everyone always says how he betrayed the starks and etc but he was also loyal to them for Many many years,and he finally got the chance to be part of his family again he took it.Can't blame him for that.
2.<b>Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Why?</b>
1.Joffrey Lannister-I can not stand him,he is a cowardly sadistic little boy who was spoiled his whole life and has never had to learn and responsibility.Hes horrible.
2. Cersi Lannister- simply put..shes an evil bitch. some people say she is misunderstood and i respect there opinions but i think that she didn't get what she wanted and expected(the perfect husband,family,life etc) and so now shes taking it out on everyone else around her, making everyone else miserable, acting like it justified her manipulations.It doesn't,not to me anyway.
3.Walder Frey-hes mean,self serving and spiteful for anyone who has read the books it should be self explanatory...i hate what he did to the starks,it was a very petty thing to do.
3.<b>#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why?</b> I've Only read up to book 3 so far but i really liked the part in the first book at the beginning when robert and the queen visit winterfell,it was described in so much more detail than shown in the show and you got to learn a little more about everyone in those parts. that as well as the part where robb and jon found the direwolves.
4. <b>In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why?</b>
I haven't finished the other ones yet,but in a dream-world the starks would still be alive,jon would have left the wall come to aid robb as well as robb killing king joffrey and taking the iron throne.buut thats not gonna happen lol so i would be happy seeing Jon snow on the throne and all the lannisters dead.but that might change after i read the rest. Also i want theon to get a happy ending.he hasn't been having an easy go of it lol
