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 have mixed feelings about this. I love living in the city. I like having stuff nearby and be available to easily get anything i need. Obviously in need of Wifi so Internet it's a must. But then again once visited this little village where every house had it's own little hill and it was all quiet and nature and fucking loved it. I just hope both scenarios were possible. I pretty much imagine a little cozy house. Definitely a house because i need a backyard where i can grow stuff. I've always wanted to have like my little tomato garden or just a little herbs one. Wood ceilings, lots of carpets and flowery decorations. Very earthy like. I love stripes too so wallpaper in some walls may do it too. Definitely a room dedicated just to reading, drawing or just being creative. I would love to have a pool, fountain or a pond. If it is the last one with some fishes to live in. Another must for the location should be a place when i can actually see the stars at night.
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!
Of course i would like to be rich and never having to work again but those kind of selfish wishes hardly ever work in movies so these are my three picks.
1.- Healthy lives for every single one of the people i can cover. Family, friends, people i've just met once, people i may have looked on the street. Trying to keep it real i'm meaning healthy from hard diseases or deathly ones. Like you can get a cold or stuff like that, but no more cancer, STDs,HIV and the disclaimer of removing all the psychological diseases too.
2.- Food and drinkable water for EVERYONE. Come on i just don't get how is it possible that some people have no access to clean water and how we let so much food rot when there's people that spend days without eating and have not tasted chocolate. COME ON!. I wish a non perishable inexhaustible source of food and water available for everyone in equal portions and free of any disclaimer whatsoever.
3.- Lastly but not least utterly happiness for everyone. No more envy or plain hate. Just live and let live and be happy for the ones around you. Happy and fulfilling lives for everyone. No more regrets or wishes of unnecessary things. Simple happy lives with the ones you love. Satisfaction on everything you do. No sucky jobs, enemies, wars, theft, nothing at all.
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. ;)
I don't know if this counts but i guess i'm most proud of my recent change on how i view life. The fact that i realized that my own worst enemy is myself, the one that sets the barriers and pretty much hurts me the most has made me change how i take everything that comes along. Self awareness is the best thing i've achieved. Not that i can say I KNOW MYSELF, but i'm sure trying to and accepting that most of the things that happen to me are meant to be so i can be a better person. Still have my ups and downs but trying to accept everything and deal with it as it comes.
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 would definitely say that Love is the most important one. Given that Love can involve Family and friends it's pretty much what should be the focus on our lives. Loving your people, loving what you do, loving everything that comes and trying to turn things around when it doesn't come the way you like it to be. Love it's pretty much as essential as food and air. Not necessarily meaning love and a significant other but love by the people that surrounds you and love of yourself.
The least important to me would be knowledge and money in equal parts. Even though we know that both are necessary to some degree, i've seen people poor in both of them and still pretty much happy. There's no way possible you can achieve both to the max and following that path can make you depressed. You can live just knowing what it needs to be known and having money just to cover the real necessities.
5. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? Explain.
Live and let live. I'm lately thinking that people gets too much into everybody else's business. We have to internalize and dissect our own lives and let everybody else do what they need to do and be how the want to be. We're living in a time when everybody thinks their opinion must be heard, even though some of those haven't been requested. And most of the times are given just to hurt and are no help at all. Envy has to be the foulest sentiment, it takes you to hate. Focusing in other peoples business is just a way of not dealing with your own. I like to think everyone is entitled to do with their lives what they want to, of course taking in account that the path would not hurt them or others. It's not of my business what's your religion, what's your sexual preference or what do you want to do for a living. If this doesn't affect or put in danger yourself or any other person it shouldn't be my business to step in and lecture about how you should live your life.
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 like to think i'm smart with my money. Of course, every once in a while i make an impulse buy but i'm not married to brands and have no urgent needs of buying what's trending and hot. I like to research when i'm going to buy and get the best prices. I hate to waste money on stuff i could've get for less or spending little money on stuff with poor quality. So it's kind of a balance right there. Financial security it's pretty important to me. I'm not saying i have to be rich or i will be unhappy, but i like to keep my debts paid on time. I like to save for a rainy day and don't believe in buying stuff with credit unless i'm sure i can pay it in a realistic amount of time. I like to have money enough to cover the basics and some spare for emergencies. I'm also a firm believer on insurances, trust funds and saving accounts.
7. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?
Reading: Though i'm not a big reader i like to read. Magazines, books, internet articles. Obviously fantasy books are my favorites and even can read the same book several times.
Watching movies: I LOVE LOVE LOVE WATCHING MOVIES AND DISSECT THEM. Like books i have no issue on watching the same one over and over again and have like little prejudice against genres, so pretty much open to watch everything.
Watching TV: Slave of series, reality shows, talk shows, cooking shows, etc etc. Like every other 90s kid i was practically raised by a TV so it is not weird that i would spend so much time watching it.
Cooking: I love to bake mostly but cooking is more general. I like to prepare food and mix stuff. Though i don't do it often i really like to do it.
Napping: I'm lazy as fuck. That pretty much sums it up.
8. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.
a)Death of the people that are close to me: The people that i'm really close too are just a few. I'm not to trust many people but the ones i do i rely on them very much. One of the things that scare me the most is losing them forever. We can fight, we can bitch about each other but not having them anymore is the worst feeling i can imagine.
b)Hurting people with my life choices: Pretty much for the same reason i stated before. For me, it's really important to maintain my support system and i actually don't give a fuck about what people thinks of my life choices but those ones who are really in my life and have been unconditional to me i take into account very much.
c)Dying unhappy: Leaving this world in a sad moment of my life has to be one of my worst nightmares. I'm pretty much ok with death if i feel like at that moment i was happy and nothing that comes after (if there's some after) can take it away. But leaving this life without being happy i think would make me even more depressed or scared of what it may come. It's like not having a happy place to come back to or no comfort at all.
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.
Best:
Loyal: I stick up for my friends and those that are in my life. I will do anything for them. Even if we're not in good terms i will keep their secrets and i will still try to help them. I really value my close relationships and would protect them of anything.
Curious: Some people may think it is a disadvantage but i find that my need to know stuff drives me to fulfill my goals. It makes me persistent xD.
Grounded: I'm aware of what i can do and what i can't. What's realistic and what are just dreams. Even though i like to set my goals high i set them to a point where i know i can get if i work really hard.
Worst:
Procrastinator: I don't always procrastinate but when i do i do it hard. Must be because of my lack of focus sometimes and how i find so much interesting stuff when i should be doing chores and stuff with deadlines. I work well under pressure too so that must be a reason.
Inpatient: I have so little patience. I cannot wait if i'm in a hurry. I cannot stand it when people doesn't get what i'm trying to say. Repeating myself over and over it's one of my pet peeves so i get really annoyed/mad because of it.
Paranoid: I make the weirdest plots and always feel like someone if following me, plotting against me or that things are just going to be terribly wrong if i make the stupidest mistake. I'm working on it but still it's so easy to fall of the wagon.
A Song of Ice and Fire Related
1.How many books from the series have you completed?
A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons. I haven't read the tales yet and don't know if there are some other related books.
2.Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Why?
Jamie Lannister: You have the most handsome man in the seven kingdoms. He's a knight, filthy rich and above all monogamous. I know, he's fucking his sister. But he's just only fucking his sister and doing it for love. His whole life is a result of him chasing after the only person he wanted/needed in his life and doing everything for her to be happy. Not only that but the way he changes and gets even more interesting. I just cannot express how i am intrigued by him. The fact that he had the chance to take the absolute power and didn't shows how he wants to live his life the way he wants it.
Brienne of Tarth: Not the fairest lady but sure the most loyal and brave. I like it how she took the best of the sucky situations she's been and keeps fighting to do what she promised, to remain loyal and keep her honor. For me the ballsiest character in a pool of really strong woman. A really selfless being that shows that no matter how hard life hits you , you can still keep going.
Tyrion Lannister: I don't know why people hate him so much. I seriously wanna know Where do whores go?. He played the game the best way he could and remains to be alive even though he's a poor fighter. He's clever and his POV is so interesting. Really liked him even more the moment he killed both Tywin and Shae. It's like the moment he finally stood up of the long casted shadow of being the rejected Lannister and did something for himself.
3.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Why?
Ramsay Bolton: He's the only one that truly deserves the title of Bastard. Pretty much his mere existence, his lack of sentiments and his savagery i just can't deal with him. I want to see him dead as much as i wanted Joffrey to die. Obviously his part in the sack of Winterfell, what he did to Lady Hornwood, even what he did to Theon i just ugh!
Joffrey Baratheon: Inbred little piece of shit. Killing Ned Stark, abusing poor Sansa, what he did to little Micah. i'm just so glad he died i cannot express it.
Walder Frey: Has no honor, no courage, and won't fucking die already. I hated him from the moment he impossed the wedding arrangements on the Starks. How his concerns are so vain and how little he cares about anyone. Hate him even more for the Red Wedding. Needless to say i guess.
4.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why?
I don't know if i consider this a favorite moment but surely it was as shocking and intense (even though i was spoiled) and the death of Ned Stark. It has to be the Red Wedding and Joffrey's death. Seriously i couldn't believe they both actually die and all that happen at the Frey's with them sewing Grey Wind's head and killing Catelyn i just couldn't believe it. And of course Joffrey dying in front of his mother after all she did to protect him and dying no other but by the hands of his new family in law. I just... the whole aftermath is just amazing. There's so much moments in the saga that need to be mentioned but these are the most shocking ones so far.
5. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why?
I would like seeing Jamie and Brienne together at last in Casterly Rock with both Tommen and Myrcella. I'm fangirling this couple and i wish it would happen already. I would like Dany seated on the throne married to both Jon Snow and Jorah Mormont. The dragons being the protection from the others and the children of the forest back living in the seven kingdoms. I would like Sansa as Lady of the Vale and Arya as Lady of Winterfell with Gendry at her side <3. Stannis and Melisandre together, Selyse death and both living in Storms End. Davos made lord of the crossing and Edmure back at Riverrun. I would love for Lady Stoneheart to meet Bran in his new way of living but of course to the south of the wall. Sam Tarly as lord commander. Cersei turned into septa. Just because i would like a happy ending because i know we're not getting one. just be happy i'm not the one writting it because for what you see it would suck so much.

Date: 2012-02-27 11:56 am (UTC)flawless response @ last question. CERSEI TURNED INTO A SEPTA = LOL FOREVER. Praise her Lannister soul.
also Tyrion haters deserve to be slapped Joffrey-style. :]
Anyways, I'm kinda torn about your app...? I saw some Tully, and there's definitely some Targ in there somewhere, but I'm not sure to what extent I'd say one is more than the other... I'm going to go with Targaryen because that felt overall stronger, but I may re-read your app. later and change my mind, idk. People might automatically assume that you're Tully because of the importance of family to you, but by that logic all Latinos are Tullys by default because in most Latin cultures the importance of la familia is emphasized more so (imho) than in many other cultures.

Date: 2012-02-28 02:05 am (UTC)The whole 'live and let live and be happy' sounds very Tyrell, because that's pretty much what Highgarden and the Reach is all about ('think of all the happiness left around you, and be happy'). And now that I think about it, the Tyrells are one of the most functional families in Westeros, always working together to successfully get ahead, so your family-centric views fit in there too. I don't know, your emphasis on happiness, and your wish to just live and let live make me think you're such a Tyrell!
Hope to see you in Highgarden, we have lemoncakes ;)
Re: Tyrell
Date: 2012-02-28 04:13 am (UTC)I never thought of that...Tyrells are pretty much flawless and they're winning the war xD.. One can wish xD

Date: 2012-02-28 07:29 am (UTC)There are something of a Targaryen in you as well, but I see them as more self-centered characters.
