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 think I have two ideal houses in my mind right now. One in old foggy castle of middle ages, somewhere in England, full of ghostes and apparitions. I love history and old legends about ghosts so it would be perfect for me. Castle should be really huge, full of fireplaces, gobelins on walls and armour parts near the stairs, a lot of poitrats and art on the same walls. You see, I was on vacation in such castle once in my life and it remained in my memory as greatest adventure of my life. Castle should have not many windows and not many doors and it should be places in old haunted wood, full of trolls and goblins.
Second ideal house would be on the rocky cliff near furious sea. Not many things and rooms, just plain house of wood when I could listen to the ocean and dream. In the night I could go to the edge of cliff and think about my life while sea could sing me agressive songs about past and future.

2. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.

One. I am afraid of loosing control. I am highly confident and serious person who prefer to lead. If I lose control, I would lose my inner me. I must hold everything in my hand very hard and have power over my life. That inludes illnesses, being old, being dependent and being in hospital.
Two. I am afraid of dogs. Once I was bitten very badly by amstaff and even if I love doggies and even have one in my house, I am rather afraid of them. I always imagine that next dog I meet will bite me again.
Three. I am afraid of loosing my fairy imagination. I love to dream about old manors, inhaibited by driads of old trees, about Fearie land full of magic and about old tales about Dubh Sidhe. If I lose it, I would be lost in this world like a child.

3. 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!

One. I would become popular fantasy writer, just like Susanna Clarke who wrote Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell. I would publish story about old times in England when magic lived between people and gods and trolls was invading people life. I love trolls. Sooo...
Two. I would want to meet real Wellish troll. Yes, its funny but I love it and dream about is most of the time. Its fairytale that could come true.
Three. I would become an elf. True Daoine Sidhe.

4. 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 think that I survived. I am really survivor kind of person, I had to fight for everything in my life so hard. I grew up in bad location, in bad times and in bad financial condition. Now I have job and am very tough and self confident. That really counts.

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? Please explain why for each choice.

Knowledge is most important. I read a lot of books, try to learn as often as I can, try to improve my abbilities and search for new thing. Its wise one who rule the world. Least important is family, I had terrible childhood because of them and now don’t have contact with any of them. I live alone.

6. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? Explain.

Everything amuses elves, up until the point they kill you, bit like cats really.

7. 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.

It’s very important for me, I live with paper sheet in my hand and try to menage well my money. I am really good at that so my life is rather good and wealthy. I have head for finaces, rather. When I was a kid, I was holding finaces of my family because I have drinking parents. Now I have laerned a lot about spending and know how to balance everything. I think I could be a good financier and indeed, I study marketing.

8. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?

I love to read and write. Literature is everything for me. I started writing and reading very early, before I went to school and the fascination remained. I wrote couple of long stories and more than couple of short.
I like also colleting BJDs. There are Japanese dolls, very expensive, looking just like humans. I have also favourite site where I buy dolls: http://dollsoom.com/index.php
Just for fun, I love Chrom – Bane of Wood one.
I like to dream. Because dreaming shows you the real world.

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: Strong and self-confident. Life taught me this and now I know how to live fully and without fear. Open-minded. I accept almost everything as long as its safe for others. Good listener. I am almost psychologist with my ability to listen and understand.
Worst: I am too reserved. I don’t really like people, I try to stay far from them, I prefer my own world. I am rather aggressive when I find stupidity and intolerance. And I am too chaotic, just like storm in really bad day.





A Song of Ice and Fire Related

1.Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Why?

Asha Greyjoy. She has strong mind, she has strong will, she has courage and she is as, well, survivor like me. I find a lot from her in my own mind. She knows how to lead, she is a woman in the world of man, who fought her way between the old laws and duties. And I really like viking-pirate culture and she is very good example of it. She is a person who doesn’t fear to say what she thinks and even has twisted sense of humor.
Jon Snow. A loner, brave boy with future, silent protagonist of whole book. He is maybe to perfect but I like him because he actually is interesting and scenes beyond the wall are my favorites in these books. He has silent relationship with his direwolf and always know how to act properly.
Joffrey Baratheon. He is a fun in first books, I always laugh at him which made him one of my favs. And he is young king without honor.

2.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Why?
Daenerys Targaryen. Maybe Jon is perfect but this goddess of war who thinks she is a queen annoys me. Way to arrogant to like her and everything that sorrounds her is screaming her name with passion and love. Yes, hate her.
Gregor Clegane. Do I have to tell you why?
Ned Stark. At first I liked him but his honor made him stupid at the end and the way he behaved with Cersei almost made my cry. Old man without brains.

3.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why?

Everything behind the wall, so frozen, so magic, so cold. I love the tale about wild people of frosted country just close to Westeros where everything is not as it seems.

4. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why?

Daenerys got killed by Lannisters just before she almost took the throne of Westeros, then Lannisters killed by others in fury and then...Jon Snow on Iron Throne. He would be a perfect king but I am afraid therefore I would stop liking him. So maybe Littlefinger on throne?

Well I'm thinking Greyjoy, but it's hard to place why. Well the emphasis on independence and leadership, that's not tough, but why Greyjoy and not something like Targaryen, I suppose it's because you said you were chaotic, and I think that suits them better. Your application had a gritty vibe to it, and I think you could really be a great Greyjoy asset! Also the Asha love :)

Tyrell

[greyfable.livejournal.com]

I definitely see you in one of the more aggressive houses - Martell, Targaryen, or Greyjoy. I can see strong arguments for any of those three. I'm going to cross Greyjoy off the list, because you seem to have an artistic side (writer, daydreamer) that would not be appreciated in the iron isles. That leaves Targaryen and Martell. Your fantastical daydreams seem Targ-ish. But in the end, I think you'd be more comfortable in Martell. Between Oberyn and the Sand Snakes, the people of Dorne are pretty accepting of aggressive eccentrics, which you are. Plus, when you described yourself as a survivor... its hard to explain, but I think Dorne, despite is proud history, knows its a Westeros underdog (or at least Doran certainly thinks so, and you'd like him because he's the wise ruler type, with attitude). I think they'd get it, whatever that means.

Targaryen

[guad.livejournal.com]

I love history and old legends about ghosts OMG Old Nan???

I think that I survived. I am really survivor kind of person, I had to fight for everything in my life so hard. I grew up in bad location, in bad times and in bad financial condition. Now I have job and am very tough and self confident. That really counts. It does. :)

Ok, you're like the lovechild of Balon Greyjoy and Rodrik the Reader. *lol* Have a house by the furious sea in Greyjoy.

Stark

[ohcarousel.livejournal.com]

From your ideal home to your best and worst qualities, i think you are absolutely a Greyjoy

Stark

[ice-elf.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy definitley. Although more of the Rodrik the reader variety.

Martell

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I'm seeing Targaryen, the most. I wouldn't mind seeing you in Martell, either, and I also saw some vibes of Stark.

Stark

[pyoska.livejournal.com]

I'm going with my housemates on this one. Greyjoy for you.

Tyrell

[childdoll.livejournal.com]

I see that Greyjoy streak, but your answers struck me much more Targaryen at the end of the day.

Martell

[ebonhost.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking Greyjoy. Listening to the sea speak to you was one of the things that hit me right off, and you definitely have a vibe similar to the Reader. The fancifulness did make me thing Targaryen as well, but the overall feel was more Ironborn. The way you describe the life you came from and how you not only survived, but used it to make you stronger reminds me of their harsh, unforgiving home and yet the lack of weakness in them. (Save for maybe Theon, I think he's a wimp, heh.)

Targ

[skelody.livejournal.com]

Targ. You take your fantasies seriously :D

Also, Susanna Clarke rocks!

Tully

[loveweasleys04.livejournal.com]

First off..LOVE YOUR USERNAME XD that makes you a Baratheon/Lannister :P

As for the application: Greyjoy for your dream home, accomplishments, even though The Reader isn't a Greyjoy he is still an Ironborn and your love for books reminded me of him. Just the way you talk about you life growing up, not having strong family vibes and how you would rather be alone than around people makes me think of the Greyjoys with their "We do not sow".

Stark

[cetacea.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy

Tyrell

[hamsterwoman]

Yep, Greyjoy is what I'm getting, too.

Lannister

[northswainglow.livejournal.com]

thumbs up Dany rant \o/ And I think that's like the first time I've seen someone unironically love Joffrey, so you get points for originality :D

I think I'm going to go with the Targaryen here, you are so commited to your imagination and your fantasies. It reminds me of a way more benign and admirable version of that one guy who D&E fans are going to scold me for forgetting the name of who thought he was a dragon.

Stark

[gruselig.livejournal.com]

Oh, a second Greyjoy!

Tyrell

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Targaryen!

Tyrell

[gogoratchet.livejournal.com]

I see you as a super-aggressive Tyrell...so more of a Martell than a Greyjoy in my eyes.

Stark

[esc-key.livejournal.com]

I was actually thinking Tyrell for awhile (anyone else? Or was this just me?). But your favorite/least favorite characters made me think you are a Greyjoy and that house is sadly underused so I hope you can enliven it!

Martell

[angerfish.livejournal.com]

I thought of Lannister vaguely, but I think you're Greyjoy!

Stark

[minviendha.livejournal.com]

I can see the Targaryen, because the dreaming isn't a Greyjoy quality for me, but hell, I'm going to just go with my first thought and say Greyjoy. The feeling is there. And your perfect ending feels Greyjoy to me, your sense of - irony, maybe? And your Asha love and reasons for it.

So yeah, I think I'm comfortable with that.

Stark

[claireobscure.livejournal.com]

Mmm, it's a Greyjoy week, I think! The Asha love, the emphasis on being independent...I see a little Targaryen, too, but Greyjoy wins out.

Tyrell

[cyshobbitlass.livejournal.com]

I wanted to sort you in Greyjoy for the sea and Asha love but I think you're too much of a dreamer to fit there. Stark or Targaryen could work. You're not too bogged down by honor so...Targaryen

(Don't worry, this doesn't mean that you're Dany XD)

Tully

[sheiannasherra.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go with the crowd saying Greyjoy.

Martell

[bluebombardier.livejournal.com]

Targaryen for your need of control and indomitable spirit and perserverance.

Stark

[chacusha]

I saw a lot of Targaryen and Stark actually. Dreaminess and being a survivor made me think Targaryen. I saw a lot of Dany (despite you actually hating her). Dreaminess and isolationist tendencies made me think Stark. I can see the Greyjoy a bit but you seem too calm/dreamy for a Greyjoy. So I will go with Targaryen.

Targaryen

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

I definitely see the Greyjoy, along with (almost) everyone else. And...where's your quote from? I like it, and it sounds like it ought to be from Wen Spencer's Tinker, though it's probably not. (I read it years ago and ought to reread.)

Re: Targaryen

[skelody.livejournal.com]

Pratchett, maybe?

Re: Targaryen

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

Oooh, good guess. Presumably we'll find out soon and maybe be surprised. (Though I'm willing to bet it's not Shakespeare. *g*)

Re: Targaryen

[capnjameskirk.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I saw it ages ago as forum signature and made it my own quote ^^

Re: Targaryen

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

So you don't know where it's from? Argh. How frustrating. *g*

Stark

[aragorntyrant.livejournal.com]

I see the Greyjoy but think Targaryen is a better fit. Greyjoys, I would say, are pretty down-to-earth in their plundering and voluntary drowning, Targaryens are the ones who like trolls and manor houses and stuff.

Lannister

[coaldustcanary.livejournal.com]

I definitely see Targaryen in your app, but I'm going to say the Greyjoy - a wild, fey, joyous kind of Greyjoy who exults in surviving and thriving - is what really sticks.

Targaryen

[trivalent.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy

Targaryen

[supernonamegirl.livejournal.com]

Wow, big Greyjoy over here.

Lannister

[liaku.livejournal.com]

Targ.

Stark

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy.

Tyrell

[spamdilemma.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I really wanted to say Greyjoy, but I think House Targaryen is a better fit for dreamers. And those who enjoy trolls in their households. :)

Tyrell

[regendy.livejournal.com]

I'm going with Greyjoy on this one, for your toughness and self-sufficiency and love of the sea. Even the fantastic imagination fits--it's also a Targaryen trait, but the Greyjoys do seem to have a mystic side to them.

Stark

[just-chiara.livejournal.com]

Targaryen.

Neutral

[deeplyunhip.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy, though your sense of humor is better than most them. You can be an Asha-like Greyjoy. ;)

Lannister

[ladynyks.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy for reasons mentioned by Guad and others.

That is, if you're not trolling with no names and places where you come from and the application being mostly talk of faeries AND trolls? Not to mention your being the first person I've ever seen who lists Joffrey among their favourites. The reasons help explain it though.

Why would you stop liking Jon Snow if he was a perfect king?

Re: Lannister

[capnjameskirk.livejournal.com]

I just don't like to mention my name as well as country because simply I don't like both. Internets offer anonymity and I try to use it most of the time. But if you like to know, I can tell you ^^

And the main reason I would stop liking Jon as king, is that I hate good rulers, kings, lords and stuff. At the other hand, I wouldn't let Westeros fall under the rules of crazy one like Dany or Viserys and Lannister is something that I really don't like. Therefore I think Jon on throne could be a good king but not for me - it won't be next book about Jon's adventure (I think) so maybe I would stay with his Wall imaginary in my mind.

Hope everything is clear?

Martell- House Sexy

[jesatria.livejournal.com]

Oh you are very, very much a Targaryen. I'd highlight some specific points, but really it was the entire app that convinced me!

Stark

[lilycobalt.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy. I thought that your dreams might push you toward Targaryen, but I also think that they can fall under Aeron's mysticism.

Tyrell

[rose-petals.livejournal.com]

Am I crazed? Your survivor-ishness and desire to be in control are making me think Lannister more than anything else.

SORTED: GREYJOY
