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!. My ideal house would be a house with honor but also wise enough to play the game and try to stay in/gain power. It would be a mix of warriors and smart men (such as Aemon and Tyrion). The members would be loyal to their house and fight for it but without playing dirty, although if scheming is necessary, they'll engage in it, but as less as possible. I'd love them to be like the Starks, but wiser. My ideal place would be a place full of garden and waterfalls, with mountains and rivers.
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!
Health for all my loved ones including myself. Riches to live comfortably. And happiness. The thing I care the most is the wellbeing of my loved ones.
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'm proud of having gotten a job before I graduated and doing what I studied for a living. I'm also proud that I always try to do my best and that, even when I'm going through difficult times, I try to get through them. Also, the fact that I'm true to myself and not phoney. If I don't like somebody, I don't say it to their face, but I don't pretend to like them either.
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. Family is the most important one because they're always there for you and you know you can count on them no matter what. Adventure is the least important one to me because I'm not a very adventurous person.
5. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? Explain. "I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and you might as well lie back and enjoy it." It's from American
Gods (Neil Gaiman), and it's sort of my motto, since I'm a very stressful person.
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. Financial security is important to me. I've been through hard times and it's important to me to make ends meet. I'd also like to have some money to travel, since it's the biggest pleasure in my life. I don't spend much money except in books. I like buying clothes but I don't spend too much money on them. I buy a lot of books, though.
7. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office? I love reading, watching TV shows and movies. I used to write but I haven't done it in a long time. I also like listening to music to relax.
8. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain. Death, since I've had a lot of deaths in my family. Illness, for the same reason above. Unhappiness, since I think happiness it's a hard place to reach.
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.
My three best qualities: I'm a honest person: I don't cheat or deceive, I'm not phoney and am a good person. I'm responsible: if I have to do a job, I do best and work hard, I'm reliable. Passionate: I get passionate about things, whether it's books, movies, etc.
Mt three worst qualities: I'm always afraid of a lot of things, I suffer from anxiety and I'm afraid something may happen to me or my loved ones. I'm disorganized, I don't know how to manage my time. I have a strong personality and get angry easily.
A Song of Ice and Fire Related
1.How many books from the series have you completed? All of them.
2.Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Why? Jon, because, even though he's a sort of an outcast in his own family, his loyal to them and always tries to do the right thing. I think he'll accomplish great things in the future (if GRRM doesn't kill him first). Tyrion, because he's one of the most complex characters. At first you hate him because you think he's the one who killed Bran, and then you start discovering the different layers of his personality. He is very interesting to read. I had to decide between Jaime and Arya for my third favorite character, but I'm going with Jamie, because his arc in the series in incredible. He's described as a sort of villain in the first book, and then you see that he has a conscience and tries to make things right.
3.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Why? Walder Fry: I don't think it needs an explanation (Red Wedding), Joffrey: again, no redeeming qualities. He's vicious. Theon: I think a lot of bad things could've been avoided if he hadn't taken control of Winterfell. Robb wouldn't have thought that his brothers were dead and wouldn't have married Jayne, for instance. I know he was a hostage at Winterfell, but he was always treated well. He should have returned to the Iron Islands and stayed there.
4.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why? There are many moments, but I think discovering that Littlefinger was the man behind all that was happening in ASOS and the epilogue of the book are my favorite parts.
5. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why? I think Jon is actually Rhaegar and Lyanna's son, so I'd like him to sit on the Iron Throne along with Dany, but not as husband as wife. Why not two rulers? I'd like Tyrion to finally find love and Cercei to be murdered by Jaime, since I think the prediction that witch told him doesn't apply to Tyrion, like she thinks, but to Jaime.
