Hello everyone. Here's a little about myself. My favorite food is lasagna. My favorite color is bright blue like the color of the fictional Jedi light sabers. My favorite TV show is Ridiculousness, but my favorite movie series is the Twilight Saga. On my free time, I like to play video games, read books, volunteer in dog shelters and nearby organizations that support millions of people worldwide, and take naps when I have breaks. I have very few friends, but its a working progress. I have a part time job at CVS as a store clerk. Lastly, my favorite desert is Caramel Turtle Truffle Pie. hope you enjoyed this brief in depth Intro and feel free to collaborate further.

What's your favourite...

Food?
Steak (on the rarer side of medium-rare)

Colour?
A deep red (not too bright)

Animal?
Red panda

Season?
Summer, closely followed by autumn (I like the autumn colours, but sun wins out)

Book/series or TV series or movie?
Book series – Harry Potter
TV – Once Upon A Time, although I think that we might be heading for a divorce, at which point my favourite show (no longer on air, unfortunately) will revert back to being Greek.
Movie – Hard to choose! As a series, Star Wars, closely followed by Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean. Stand-alones I'm really not sure...Pride & Prejudice (2005 Keira Knightley version, although I love the famous 1995 BBC TV version with Jennifer Ehle just as much), Imagine Me & You, The Holiday, The Fifth Element...there is a recent film that I haven't yet seen that I think will blow them all out of the water though (and no, I don't mean TFA).


Candy/sweet?
I don’t really go in for sweets. Chocolate, though… ;)

Meditation?
I haven’t experienced lots of different types. I generally stick with a simple breathing meditation.


What's your least favourite...

Chore?
Hanging up the laundry (we don’t have a tumble-dryer). So tedious. I think maybe the problem is that I have too many clothes?

Time of day?
Morning, any time before about 9:30am. I really am not a morning person.

Sound?
The noise/cry that a peacock makes ;)

What are your hobbies?
I don’t really have any these days. In my spare time I’m usually spending time with my friends, reading books, or doing TOTJO-related things. Occasionally music-making or gaming.

What's the one place in the world you want to visit most?
I’ve got quite a long list of places I’d like to visit, but New York has been at the top of the list for quite some time.

What's your dream occupation?
I’m still working on figuring that out! Something self-employed, but beyond that, I’m a bit stumped.

What's your least favorite

What's the one place in the world you want to visit most?: Iceland. My brother went and his pictures are amazing. It seems quiet and serene. Nothing ever like Toyko or New York. Denmark and Finland would be wonderful as well.

I totally messed up two of my answers! I accidentally did my favorite time of day and sound. My least favorite time of day would be that time between waking up and actually being awake. That time when all you want in the world is to go back to bed but you know you can't. My least favorite sound is any sound that follows the phrase "Listen, we need to talk."
