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 would like to live in very large old house. Very old, I would like to feel breaths of my ancestors, hear their voices from old poitraits on stone walls and steps on wooden carpets. A lot of windows, also very large and ornamented. The rooms would be high and not very filled with furnitures. I would like to have rooms when I could collect antiques I bought, now I have to keep them in locked closets and cannot admire them enough. Everywhere stone and wood, fireplaces all around and about 20 rooms. Maybe one or two towers when I could have libraries and antiques collections far from other people and with view on the landscape.
I would like to live far away from town/city, near lake or ocean or in region of the mists - I like misterious and cold places, full of memories and strange aura. I choose Norway or Finland.
2. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.
1. Failure. I hate to fail, I want to best in everything I do. Since I remember, I was always very ambitious and when I failed, I was furious, I wanted to destroy and kill. I want to show the world that I am worth living on Earth and not to make mistakes or at least make small mistakes. But epic fail is my worst nightmare.
2. Lose independence. Since I was 16 I lived on my own. I don't like people that put noses in my bussiness, I like do everything by myself and not be forced to please for help. Now I have work I like, I don't have family I must care of and if I lost it, I would feel ... well.. lost. I don't want rely on others.
3. Die on cancer. My whole family had cancer (mostly lungs) and I know if I won't be carefull, I might end like this as well. Sometimes I have nightmares about cancer.
3. 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!
1. Move to Norway or Ireland. I am fascinated in Scandinavia and its history as well as Irish folklore. I love these leprechauns and norwegian culture. I live close to Scandinavia but now I don't have ANY opportunity to move from Poland. And there's cold!
2. Get more money. A lot of. I know its low but I really need then. My life is simple but I don't have enough money to make my dreams come true.
3. Gather more antiques from ancient time and middle ages! I would like genie bring me as lot that my house would be to small to keep them. I am collectioner and it's my huge passion.
4. 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 wrote two books and published one. I am so proud! One is called "Far Away" and is about spaceship crew that finds life on far planet but I am more proud of "Nagariya" the tale about ancient egyptian gods that hails from space and create ehyptian culture from sratch. I like my Set and Anubis most, I make them funny and likable: Anubis simple and Set noble. I am writing more books and I am going to publish them as well.
5. Which of the following is most important to you: Love, Money, Knowledge, Family, Friendship, Adventure, or Pleasure? Which is the least important to you?
Most: adventure. I think that I would die without traveling, camps, old castles, ships, Egypt and other funny things I dedicated my life. I am always on move, sometimes I collect money for ages to gather enough to go on adventure.
Least: Love and family. I just don't need that, I like make everything alone.
6. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values?
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place!
7. How do you manage your money? On that note, how important is money/financial security to you?
I am terrible at moneys but I am always in need of them. I think I spend too much on fun and then I don't have money for simple life. But I am alone so I try to not spend THAT much - as I said I don't like rely on others. But I think I started be better at spending nowadays - maybe I am growing up!
8. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?
1. Vikings and Ireland. When I was a child, I have read Thirgal, the comic about vikings and Northland. From this time I am in love in viking culture and try to read as much as I can. I tried even join viking brotherhood but then, I was living on South of Poland - now it would be more possible but I don't have time. And Irish culture - I love fairytales about faeries and sprites, they bring the feel of cozyness to my world.
2. Ancient Egypt and its mythology. I love Egypt since I was 5. Mother was buying me a lot of ilustrated albums about mythologies and history and I chose Egypt from it. I was in Egypt twice in my life and when I saw pyramids, I was just thrilled. Also, I wrote book about Set and Anubis.
3. Reading. I read two large books a week or three small. When I read I feel like I travel to another world and its difficult to leave this place without cold water on my head. My favourite genres are science-fiction (Dune, Eden, Star Wars) and fantasy (ASoIaF, The Witcher, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, stories about witches). I LOVE fairytales from around the world.
4. Cats. I keep couple of cats in my house: two Persian and two Maine Coons. I had 20 cats when I was kid but now it would be difficult for me to keep that many animals.
9. Name (and elaborate on) your top three BEST and top three WORST qualities (personality-related, not physical).
Best.
I am independent and self confident woman who always know what she is talking and what her goals are.
I am educated and like to learn - I want to go to study once more, this time it will be archaeology, I always wanted to go after Indy Jones ^^
I ambitious and that makes my world a little harsh but at the same time I often win in life and that makes me feel GOOD.
Worst.
I am not very tolerant for fools, cowards and weak people without goal in life that try to rely on their parents/partners. I want to believe that our life belongs only to us and sometimes I am somehow harsh to such people.
I am self centered and it makes people not very nice toward me. Well, I know I am not very nice person but sometimes I feel offended by remarks. But well I like myself and that's count!
I don't care about my health or at least until I get very sick.

A Song of Ice and Fire Related
1.Who are your favorite three characters in the series?
Daenerys Targaryen: strong and brave woman who, besides her youth, is queen for her people and have own army. She had difficult life but didn't surrend and she has dwaggins! Always when I hear Dany, I think "power of dragons!". Dany knows what she wants and do it without problems, she is a true queen. She is loyal and make good plans.
Littlefinger: he knows what to do with money for sure! He has all Westeros in pocket and if not, those who aren't will be there very soon. His plots and plans always amaze me and makes me love this character more and more. He also works hard.
Asha Greyjoy: another strong woman who knows what she wants plus she is connected to my beloved Vikings. I simply love how she made fool from Theon and the way she talks: she is highly confident and smart. She knows how to command.
2.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series?
Joffrey Baratheon: a little coward who wants to be most important person in 7 Kingdoms. I hate cowards and those who agree on violence against women - and he ordered to beat Sansa. He is simply a little shit, I am glad he died in this way.
Lysa Arryn: fat, stupid hag who didn't have enought strong will to come and take side of any of fighting Houses. She even didn't take side of her own family bwahahah! She was terrible mother and made her son handicapped person. Pitful.
Gregor Clegane: a machine to kill without any other feelings in heart that cruelty. She burn his brother, killed Red Viper (I love Red Viper!) and made Harrenhal hell on earth. No, I hate him to death.
3.Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far?
I think when Dany became Unburnt. It was so intense, so brave and so magical. She knew that she won't be hurt, she knew somehow it will bring her victory. And then..the dragons were born. Beautiful scenes with a lot of burning feelings in it :) Plus then I saw the true glory of Dany, when whole Khalasar that left almost prayed to her.
4. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end?
Daenerys becoming the Queen of Westeros. Sansa finding her true love. Red Viper killing Gregor and not dead. Asha becoming lady of Pyke. Dragons are huge and rule over the sky. Joffrey tortured to death by Tyrion. That would be the REAL world :)
