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!.
-Geographically it would probably be the Pacific Northwest. I like rain and cool temperatures, and am not a fan of the sun in general. The only problem would be the humidity, but I can probably live with it for the cool temperatures.
-I'd like to live in a moderately large house, and have a yard only if I could have someone else to take care of it since I hate yardwork. I'd want to have some nice bay windows that catch the sun in some of the main rooms, enough bedrooms that I could spread out a bit/have people stay over, and a kitchen with lots of counter space (since I also don't like to clean, lots of counter space means lots of room to pile things before needing to).

2. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.
Ferris Wheels - my most irrational fear probably, but trying to ride these things scare me half to death.
Abandonment - a far more cerebral fear, I'm just fearful of people leaving me behind.
Death/Dying - Non fictional death is scary (even fictional death is for that matter). Well, besides DEATH in Terry Pratchett's works.

3. What is your favorite aspect of your physical appearance and why?
Umm...my face I guess. I like a lot of the parts well enough and they fit together nicely...

4. If you could change one thing about your physical appearance, what would you change and why?
I ought to lose some weight, in fact a decent amount of it.

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!
-Enough money that I never have to work and can still do fun things
-Some kind of ability to enter fantasy worlds (come on it would be fun)
-A transporter so I could visit people easily.
(was I supposed to wish the genie free? I'f so wish 2 could probably go, even if it would be fun)

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 suppose graduating college, even if my life has been off track ever since (mostly because I don't know the track anymore).

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 going to list 'pleasure' as the most important to me, with the note that I get pleasure from knowledge, love, family/friends.
Adventure however is easily the least important to me. I don't like adventure much at all (except in roleplaying and books obviously)

8. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values?
Tough one...
Well, off the top of my head because I vidded it I Don't Want to Live on the Moon. For one it's a more child-like song and I like that. But it sort of works with my feeling that it's the people and the connections we make with them (in an old and new home) that make the adventure worth having.

9. How do you manage your money? On that note, how important is money/financial security to you?
I'm rather a penny pincher, and a bit scroogy I suppose. I've gotten a little looser in recent years with buying myself things I just want but I'm not a big spender by any means.

10. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?
-Well by biggest and favorite hobby is roleplaying (tabletop). Which, while I'm very willing to talk people's ears off about my favorite characters and experiences in games, I'm less inclined to talk about it just in general terms.
-Also, I make fanvids, primarily Doctor Who and since apparently I'm always willing to point to my collection, here it is.
-On the whole I do a lot of reading, watching TV, hanging out on the computer

11. Name (and elaborate on) your top three BEST and top three WORST qualities (personality-related, not physical).
Best:
I'm fairly creative, I dabble in writing, video editing/production, etc.
I pretty smart in general, sometimes lacking in common sense, but I do well in school.
I'm a fairly fun person to be around (as long as we communicate on the same sorts of things).

Worst:
I think I'm a bit needy when it comes to acknowledgment and approval.
I have a lot of trouble getting my life moving since I graduated college.
I have panic attacks when in large crowds of people, makes me a drag in large groups.

A Song of Ice and Fire Related

1.Which is your favorite book of the series so far? What about your least favorite?
I going to say AGOT is my favorite, but that's subject to change based on mood. I really enjoyed it though.

I think AFFC is my least favorite, some of the plots I still enjoys but there were sections I was not as interested in.

2.Who are your favorite three characters in the series?
Arya, Jon, Tyrion (although I'm tempted to mention the direwolves)

3.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series?
Melisandre, Janos Slaynt, Craster

4.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far?
Although several of the battle scenes stick out in my memory, I'm not sure I'd count that as a "moment" so instead I'll go with Arya, Gendry, and Hot Pie breaking out of Harrenhall.

5. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end?
I have a (somewhat secret) wish to see Jon rule the seven kingdoms. I definitely want to get a reunion between him and Arya before the series is done, but that's a different point. I'm not really sure what I want for Dany in that scenario.

Mostly I just want most of the characters to a) live (which at this point I know might be asking too much) and b) find some measure of happiness and inner peace. I know that sounds kind of undramatic, and I want to see plenty of action along the way, but in the end I want it to end up happily.
