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!
Whoa, ok that's a tough question because I've never think about it before. Let's see.. first of all I totally hate apartments. My best friend lives in an apartment and I hate that place mostly because she lives on a very high floor. When I go there I think that I would definitely not like to live in a place like that.
I love early Victorian houses like this one http://www.spokanecommunityhousing.org/gallery2/d/14-1/victorian-house.jpg It would be a dream of mine to own one!.To be honest I just love old houses in general and I don't like modern houses and modern furniture too much. Plus I really think that old houses can tell us a lot about the way people used to live.
I would like my room to be colorful, and a nice space to relax in. I love the one I have right now, it's pretty big , it's actually bigger than my brother's room and I'm really proud of this (LOL), but I want my room to be more original and different. And it may sound a bit weird but the part of the house I love the most is the attic. Attics are really cool! and I would expect to find all kinds of old treasures there!
And I would like to live in a place situated near the coast, like the one in which I live now. Where the weather is nice, sunny and warm. I love sunny days with not a cloud in sight!

2. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.
Bugs. I know it's a bit childish but I'm afraid of bugs! every bug makes me scream if it's in the same room as me . Yes, I'm very afraid of bugs mostly because I they might bite me and I absolutely hate spiders. I don't like the way they move and I know that just one night there's gonna be one in my bed or on my pillow.
losing the one I love. I am afraid of my friends and family dying because I don't know what I would do without them. My friends are my world and I can't really live without my family.
Failure. I am afraid I will not live up to my own standards. I am afraid I will never obtain my goals.

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!
1. I do not desire to be rich, but I would want to have just the exact amount of money in my wallet whenever i want
2. I wish that all of my family will stay healthy and properous. I care a lot for my family and enjoy spending time with them. Me and my sister are very close and we do share a lot of things in life, probably because we are twins. She is my best friend ever and I like everything about her. I like her being so friendly and i like the fact that she always has time for me and she makes me laugh a lot. Sometimes she is really stubborn and impulsive and even if we are always fighting and arguing for stupid reasons we just really like each other
3. i would like to be a teleporter like the movie "jumper"( the movie sucks btw ). Then I wouldn't need a car to get places and I would always be on time everywhere. Plus there are a lot of places I would like to visit


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 now I've become more mature and independent in life. I'm really proud of it because I used to be always in trouble when I was younger because of my impulsivity. I'm still impulsive and that's part of my nature, but now I'm more cautious and thoughtful in the things I do in public


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. I think that friendship is the most important thing to me, because I really think that friends are the most important thing that you can have. My friends are always there for me and I value friendship a lot. They are always there to help me and just give me adivce and I am glad to have met them because they are my world. And money is the least important think to me. My mother always say that money is the least important thing needed for happiness. I don't completely agree, I think that financial security is important but I value love, knowledge, family, friendship, adventure and pleasure a lot more than money.


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

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

I first heard this song when my brother played it on the piano when I was a child and it's one of my favorite song ever. I love the words in particular, and I think that If the world could truly live these words we could surely have a better place.

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. Like I said before I think that financial security is important. With the way times are right now I'm trying to save every penny and in general I do not spend a lot of money.

8. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office?
Reading; I love reading. I'm a bookworm! My favorite book ever is "the picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde. This book is really amazing; great writing, it made me never wanna stop reading and i could relate to the feelings of the main characters
Playing tennis; I used to play tennis a lot at school but only infrequently since. But I really love tennis and watching the tournaments
Traveling; I have done a little travelling but I would like to do a LOT more! I love to travel because there are so many places and people to meet and explore, so many things too see and learn! And I'm always up for an adventure
Hanging out with my friends, the internet

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; People always say that my confidence is my strong point. I'm confident in life, mostly because I do the best all the time and I don't care about my opponent so I can easily mentally picture myself reaching my goal. And I'm very determined. When I set my mind on something I usually get it, because I see nothing but my goal and I'm not satisfied until it's done and failure is not an option. Plus I'm usually happy. I love to laugh and I really think that life is too short not to enjoy every minute of it

WORST; I know I'm impulsive by default, I can't really help myself! Normally I don't think things through, and I'm too impulsive for my own good. I'm a bit paranoid, I'm always suspecting people of screwing me over and this is why I don't trust people easily. And I think I'm very critical. I have a lot of expectations and I'm very hard on myself.

A Song of Ice and Fire Related

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

1. Bran Stark; I love him! He is my favorite character probably because he's the first character that I liked in the books and because he is so cute!
2. Jamie Lannister: I love bad characters that aren't really all that bad and that you can like and hate them at the same time
3. Benjen Stark: I like him because I can relate to him somehow, which makes me appreciate his character a lot more

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

1. Brienne; Her characters is just soooo boring! I could skip pages and didn't feel if I missed anything
2. Robert Baratheon; I just don't like characters like him. His personality is so annoying that I can't take it, and sometimes I really would like to punch him in the face
3. Jon Snow; Ok, I know everyone like him but there's something about him that I don't like at all and I'm not sure what it is. Probably it's because he is too much full of himself sometimes! but it can be only me being evil with the character, since I don't like him. Well, sorry but the impression that I have about him is this one

3.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why?
The Red Wedding. I've read that part over and over again. I love it! It's definitely the part of the book I've enjoyed the most

4. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why?
I truly have no idea how I would want the series to end.. but my greatest wish would be to see the Starks reunited in the end.

Targaryen

[supernonamegirl.livejournal.com]

Stark, I think. You remind me more of Rob than some of the other, perhaps more prototypical Starks, but the value you place on friendship, and the traits, particularly your confidence as a best and impulsiveness as a worst, do make me think of him, and he is still very much a Stark.

Stark

[esc-key.livejournal.com]

There's a practicality to your application that makes me think Tully.

Tyrell

[greyfable.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking Greyjoy for all the reasons shelled_avenger listed.

Tyrell

[cyshobbitlass.livejournal.com]

Your confident, impulsive nature and desire for traveling could be construed as Greyjoy, but I saw a lot more Targaryen (this seems to be a very positive Targaryen song to me). Something about having Imagine as your quote, as well as wanting to teleport. Plus, the paranoid thing works too.

Lannister

[tantdetentation.livejournal.com]

Impulsiveness? Paranoia? Travel? I, too, vote for the kraken.

Greyjoy.

Lannister

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy, for the reasons others have listed.

Stark

[pyoska.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy for the impulsiveness and travel.

Martell

[angerfish.livejournal.com]

Yep, gonna agree with the Greyjoy vote here. :D

Martell

[hilian.livejournal.com]

Not very original, but I have to agree with the Greyjoy votes. I can see some Stark in your application, but your best and worst qualities remind me a lot of Greyjoy

Targaryen

[spritzed.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy

Stark

[gruselig.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy

Tully

[golden-d.livejournal.com]

Gonna have to go with Greyjoy.

Targaryen

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Yet another for Greyjoy.

Tyrell

[hamsterwoman]

I'm not feeling the Greyjoy, actually. Not sure what it is I am seeing... Tully maybe comes closest...

Martell- Blood Oranges

[jesatria.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy, for your interests in travel & adventure, the focus on friends over family, & your confidence & determination.

Greyjoy

[odeocowboys.livejournal.com]

Although having more Greyjoys would be nice, I just don't get that feeling from you. I think I'll have to go with Tully.

Tyrell

[spamdilemma.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I was actually going with Lannister for a while because of your confidence, being goal-oriented (failure is not an option!), and the fact that I can't read 'impulsive' without immediately thinking of Jaime jumping into a bear pit. :) But your live-in-the-moment perspective makes me think more Martell, with your Oberyn side for the impulsiveness and self-assurance, and your Doran side making sure the goals get met.

Tyrell

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Martell

Lannister

[ladynyks.livejournal.com]

Confident impulsive, hmh. I'm getting Martell and maybe Greyjoy from that, since while Targs can be both from time to time, maybe not so much for you. Martell for now.

Stark

[ice-elf.livejournal.com]

The impulsiveness points to Greyjoy for me too

Stark

[claireobscure.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy!

Tyrell

[rose-petals.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaaaaaat? I got nothing but Tyrell from this; now I'm sad. ;_; You remind me of Loras and Margaery in different ways.

Martell

[ebonhost.livejournal.com]

It isn't a perfect fit, since I also see some of the Tyrell in there, but I think Greyjoy is a better match than the roses.

Tully

[loveweasleys04.livejournal.com]

I get a very adventurous free-spirited vibe from you so I am jumping on the Greyjoy bandwagon.

Stark

[chacusha]

For some reason, I saw mostly Tyrell, just because of the relationship between you and your friends and family esp. sister. Greyjoy seems a good fit too.

Stark

[minviendha.livejournal.com]

...I'ma say...mostly Targaryen actually, though I can't really pin down why...your song, maybe, and the impulsive independence combined is more idealistic powerful dragon than Greyjoy to me.

I also really don't like Jon much. ;)

Targaryen

[guad.livejournal.com]

Hmm a Dragonkraken. That's some terrifying animal :PP Anyway Greyjoy for you

Stark

[misstopia.livejournal.com]

You're kind of difficult! But I'll go with Targaryen, I think the John Lennon did it, though that could really be Stark too ... but other things make me opt for a more excitable flavor of idealism, so the dragons it is!
