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 home would have a floor to ceiling library with wood finishing. It would be either isolated in the woods or on the coast of an ocean. I would like to have a large room for entertaining guests and plenty of space to keep said guests. I would also like to have dogs in the house so lots of outdoor space to keep them active. I would also like to have a balcony attached to my bedroom, that has a beautiful view. Also I would like a private study, with a giant desk that I can hide away in.

2. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.
Spiders. I'm pretty sure that's an irrational fear.
Drowning. Again Irrational, some of my friends who believe in past lives think its because I drowned in one.
Not being able to finish school. Education is the most important thing to me, I need a degree and I'm worried that both financially and intellectually I won't be enough.

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! I would wish for my research institute. I would wish for a cure for illness, and I would wish for an end to global climate change.

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 am currently most proud of publishing my research.

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? Friendship is the most important thing to me and with that loyalty. The least important would be...probably money. I know it makes the world go round and it would be nice to have but there are other things more important.

6. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? "This is either madness or brilliance." "It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." From Pirates of the Caribbean.

7. How do you manage your money? On that note, how important is money/financial security to you?Financial security is exceptionally important as it takes money to pay for an education. It is not most important than the quest for knowledge, but I would certainly like to be financially stable. On that note, I tend to save my money, I go out to dinner with friends maybe once a month, I pass up opportunities for concerts so I can save. Typically I have something I want to spend money on but I always ensure that there is an ample amount of savings.

8. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office? I like to write. I used to try for original fiction, even some historical fiction, but that takes quite a bit of timing and planning that I just don't have anymore so I've resorted to fanfiction writing. It's horribly addictive. I love to read as well, basically anything I can get my hands. I'll decide for myself whether the book is bad or not. I love dancing, I studied ballet for close on sixteen years and while I do not do it professionally I do occasionally do it to keep in shape and to release stress.

9. Name (and elaborate on) your top three BEST and top three WORST qualities (personality-related, not physical). Possibly my best quality, or so I'm told, is that I'm an excellent listener who always has the right response. For whatever reason people come to me for advice whether it's because I listen to the whole story and then try and offer an unbiased opinion I'm not sure. I'm a dedicated student, I love to learn and I think that that's a large part of why I value education so highly. I'm also exceptionally loyal, I'd be the person you'd want to tell your deepest secret to because I will never breath another word of it again. In terms of the worst qualities, I tend to be abrasive and come off as a cold hearted witch. I don't open up to many people and it takes quite a long time for me to trust someone. I also tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. I will spend all night doing something just to tear it apart and redo again. Lastly, I don't give out to many second chances. I don't do forgive and forget all that well.





A Song of Ice and Fire Related

1.Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Oh I love Daenerys, she is by far my favorite character. I just love her attitude, the way she speaks, the way she runs her tribe, and of course she has dragons, who wouldn't want a dragon? I also really like Cersei, I know she's pretty much a incestuous whore but she's got balls. She really is trying to do best by her children, just going about it the wrong way. I also love Catelyn Stark, I'm not really sure why I like her, maybe because she has tried to stand by her husband through thick and thin and she is trying to save her children from being corrupted. I just really like her. I was so happy she...well I don't want to spoiler anything.

2.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Lord Petyr Baelish, I just find him...disturbing to put it nicely. He's just...eck. I don't like him. Lord Tywin Lannister, he ordered the murder of children. Enough said. Joffrey Baratheon, I also don't like, mainly because he's a spoiler brat who refuses to listen to reason.

3.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far?
Catelyn being revealed as alive...and the birth of the dragons.
4. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end?
I'm not sure how I would like the series to end. I think I would like to see Daenerys on the throne of the Seven Kingdoms and the world at peace. I would like to see Catelyn reunited with her children.

A high-achieving thinky-type, your quotation and your want of a dragon is clearly Targaryen. Almost so much that I'm a little suspect that you were pushing for it, but am inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt

Targ

[metao.livejournal.com]

Im getting a bit of a Greyjoy vibe. My first thought was, oddly, Tully, but theres lots of ocean-y, outdoors-y bits in there that put me in mind of the Ironborn. The quote, I think, suits a Greyjoy.

The bookishness is the only thing putting me off...

Targaryen > Haha, all the Perthies have votes.

[arinellen.livejournal.com]

I would wish for my research institute. I would wish for a cure for illness, and I would wish for an end to global climate change.
I'm going with Targaryen, however, I must admit that I felt that you were 'pushing' for it. I almost went with 'no vote'.
I think you are wishing to be able to help people without thinking it through. The cure for all illness is what I mean, so very idealistic.
Also the wish for global climate change also reminds me of Targaryen in the sense that it's something that everyone is saying is the most important thing at the moment and you are championing it. It's also idealistic, and also naive in a way, to wish for that at it's upmost importance. I think. But feel free to argue. ^_^

Tyrell

[greyfable.livejournal.com]

Stark You come across as very Ned-ish to me. You value education, so you'd have a great time in the winterfell libraries. You are pragmatic with regards to money, and selfless with your wishes (well, the second two :D). You are reserved and thoughtful, a bit standoffish (one of Ned's ungood qualities), loyal, an excellect secret keeper ("promise me, Ned..."), you believe in doing things right... seriously, this all screams Ned to me.

Your favorite characters/reasons point to something a little bit wilder... so, you've got Lyanna in you, too!

Yes, I spot a Stark.

Lannister

[rebelmaiden.livejournal.com]

Your first response was swaying me towards Tully, but the love of education, the quote(Brilliance and madness-what is more Targ than that? :) , perfectionism...You, my dear, are a Targaryen in my book!

Welcome! :)

Lannister

[thessalian.livejournal.com]

I agree with the Targaryen votes. Beyond the quote and so forth, which might indicate a bit of push for Targ, it's the Catelyn/Cersei love that clinches it for me. Two characters who value something (family on the one hand, power on the other) and letting logic take a firm backseat if need be ... that says Targ to me.

Targaryen

[guad.livejournal.com]

Though your quote is very targish, your overall tone and wishes and location strikes me more as a Stark

Tully

[catelynstark.livejournal.com]

This feels mostly Greyjoy.

Re: Targaryen > Haha, all the Perthies have votes.

[aserene.livejournal.com]

Well I work on global climate change. And I know just what the bleakest outlook could be so, I would wish for an end to that. No pushing intended.

I mean I would love a dragon, but that's just a personal desire. I am quite the fan of dragonheart. A dragon that spoke like Sean Connery, who wouldn't want that?

Tyrell

[evil-megz.livejournal.com]

oopsies forgot my subjectline

Stark

[gruselig.livejournal.com]

Gotta agree with the Targaryen votes.

Re: Targaryen > Haha, all the Perthies have votes.

[arinellen.livejournal.com]

^_^, well, not me. :P

Cool, cool. The planet has heated up quite a bit in the past, much hotter then it is now. And I do agree with you it is a huge threat. I just think their are other threats that are harder to get rid of, and in a sense are more important (*gasp*). That said this is no place for these arguements. But your comment does make me feel you have the dragon in you. Sparky.

Stark

[esc-key.livejournal.com]

Good listener? Don't forgive easily? Want isolated home? Loyalty and friendship? Wants wolvesdogs in the house? I thought you were Stark all over. I did consider Tyrell though because the Reach is the hub of academics in Westeros, but some of your answers (about isolation and no need for money) didn't seem to fit with that.

Re: Targaryen > Haha, all the Perthies have votes.

[arinellen.livejournal.com]

Fuck me, what the hell? I used the wrong there/their. >(

Greyjoy

[http://users.livejournal.com/arkady_/]

At first, I was thinking you fit in with the Tullys, but then at some point I switched to thinking you could be a Targaryen (I think it was with your life-quote). And then I remembered Martells existed. They're somehow something in between both houses, they have fire in their veins, they're creative, they're abbrasive (like the dessert) but they also have a kind of tender side attached to family and friends. So my answer is Martell.

It wouldn't hurt to elaborate a bit more, though, specially the ASOIAF questions.

Tyrell

[cyshobbitlass.livejournal.com]

Targaryen. Yeah. You have that vibe and not just from you're quote.

Tully

[sheiannasherra.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what strangerface said! Stark

Greyjoy

[mayhaps.livejournal.com]

Also thinking Stark

Stark

[misstopia.livejournal.com]

I think I will agree with the Targaryen votes, that was my first instinct and I still think it fits well, though it's not an overwhelming majority thing. It's just that the rest is less distinct (though the Stark is easy to see).

[angerfish.livejournal.com]

Targaryen

Stark

[claireobscure.livejournal.com]

I like your favorite/least favorite character lists! It's not often someone says Cersei for a favorite character.

I'm going to say Targaryen, though I definitely see the Stark as well.


Edited because I am indecisive. And again because lol html fail.

Stark

[minviendha.livejournal.com]

I can't see the Targaryen except in the quote, actually. Personalitywise, mostly, I have to go with Stark. I can just see it.

Come to Winterfell, we have cookies.

Lannister

[jamesmcgraw.livejournal.com]

Perfectionist, likes tempestuous characters, abrasive but with a serene heart?

Martell

Tyrell

[hamsterwoman]

I see both Stark and Targ, but Stark more consistently, for reasons others have said.

Targ

[skelody.livejournal.com]

Stark. A latecomer has nothing to add.

Targaryen

[harpseals.livejournal.com]

Martell

still being voted on, right now i seem to be a targaryan-stark tie

[awibs.livejournal.com]

Martell. I seriously considered Stark and Greyjoy for a minute too.

Stark

[matitablu.livejournal.com]

If starkgaryen existed I'd put you there, but I'll go with Stark.

Tyrell

[rose-petals.livejournal.com]

I'm with the Martell minority. jamesmcgraw said pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

Tyrell

[apocalyptically.livejournal.com]

Pirates of the Caribbean love! The quote kept my eyes peeled for Greyjoy, fear of drowning aside, but by the end of the app I was feeling more Stark.

Lannister

[ladynyks.livejournal.com]

Stark. Little forgiveness seems Catelyn Tully/Stark (or Robert Baratheon? ;P ). There's financial security through Starkish sensible saving, knowing or saying you NEED a degree, being proud of something concrete you've achieved in that line. Advice with an unbiased opinion seems Starkish. Loyalty, mistrustfulness, perfectionism + the more practical tone you have make it lean to Tully for me, but since I don't at all see Targaryen in you, Tully would be a completely pointless vote from me this late. The valuing of children is also very Stark + Tully.

Stark!

[pyoska.livejournal.com]

STARK.

I think you might be more Stark than me. That's saying something.

Stark

[chacusha]

I also think you struck me as a Stark, although I think Tyrell was a second. I don't really see the Targaryen? :O

Lannister

[deeplyunhip.livejournal.com]

Targaryen. :)

Stark

[cetacea.livejournal.com]

Stark, for sure!

Re: Stark

[aserene.livejournal.com]

Can I just say I love your username.I was expecting a userpic of a dolphin though.

Stark

[lilycobalt.livejournal.com]

I'm leaning towards Stark. You seem a little too...grounded for Targaryen to me. And I get grabby when I see people with Stark traits. XD

Targaryen

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

Stark, Targ, Stark, Targ...Stark. (But it really was a toss-up.)

Stark

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

Ooh yes! Come to Stark! :)

Martell- Sicilian

[jesatria.livejournal.com]

Stark. Your best & worst traits swayed me in that direction. The quote is Targ, but I don't see that anywhere else. I agree with the person who said you seem Ned-like.

Stark

[spideyfanfreak.livejournal.com]

huh? Two Starks this week for me.

Tully

[umihebizanomiko.livejournal.com]

Stark.

Tully

[curtana.livejournal.com]

Yep, Stark.
