10 Facts About Me

I was tagged by the lovely apparatingtohogsmeade to list ten facts about myself.

1. Reading is the important thing in the world to me. I try not to limit myself to any specific genre, and try to read as much as I can.

2. I love animals. If I could, I'd have all kinds in my house. But for now, it's just me and my cat, Fitz.

3. I don't have any sisters and I'm the eldest.

4. I love the theatre, and wouldn't miss any opportunity to catch a play or a musical.

5. I love traveling and learning about new places and cultures. Unfortunately, my family prefers shopping over museums and tours.

6. I'd prefer not to be spoken to until I've had my morning coffee... Even if it's already the afternoon.

7. I love art... but I can't draw to save my life.

8. I listen to music quite often... Mostly anything that falls under the umbrella of rock.

9. I graduated university in 2013, and I'm still pretty unsure about what I want to do with my life.

10. I'm pretty close with both of my parents' sides of the family. Except I don't see my mom's side as often as I'd like to since they live in Bahrain.

25, 33, 36 and 40

25: Talk about an ex-best friend.

In late elementary school, she and her family moved. When I called her new phone number, it didn't work, so we just lost touch. Every once in a while we'd run into each other through mutual friends. A couple of years ago we became Facebook friends. We talk every once in a while. :) She ended up going to FIT and started her own fashion line, which makes sense because she was always great at drawing. She also always dyes her hair pretty colors, and likes going to concerts.

33: Talk about what you do when you are sad.

I listen to sad music (like The Harold Song, 1996, the Lost At Sea album), or I'll listen to really upbeat music to make myself feel better (Little Mix's first album, Circus, Cher Lloyd, BTR, BYE). I drink a lot of tea, or just hot water. I watch reruns of The Office because it always puts me in a good mood. Sometimes I'll write in my journal, or on my secret~ blog.

36: Talk about your guilty pleasures.

I don't believe in being guilty for something that brings you pleasure. Something that would be considered a guilty pleasure is my love for objectively terrible TV shows and reality TV. Also my adoration for pop music and stars.

40: Talk about the end of something in your life.

A few years ago (like six, wow) I was part of this Harry Potter forum. A bunch of things happened all at once, and it amounted to a moderator hating me. I realized I was done with the Harry Potter community when she suspended my account for the first time. The entire issue with her lasted about six months, and once it ended I had my account permanently deleted. Because of it I ended up being less actively invested in Harry Potter. I also didn't become involved in Internet community until I came here, really.

Alya: Yes, I know.
