My Answers:
1. What is the main (realistic) thing you wish to accomplish in 2013?
I'd really like to be happy with my job. Whether that means accepting the flaws of my current job or finally moving on to a better one remains to be seen.
2. What’s your dream travel destination, that you haven’t already been to?
I'd really like to go to Scotland, or maybe Switzerland. Anywhere in Europe, really, and I'd be happy.
3. What’s your favorite music to listen to while creating things (be it cooking, writing, painting etc)?
It depends ... I don't listen to much of anything when I'm writing because it distracts me, namely because I like making music as well and I find myself paying more attention to how the song was put together. I generally like to listen to artists like Adele when I'm doing other creative stuff 'cause I can sing along with it and challenge my voice a little while I work.
4. What is an everyday skill you wish you had, but don’t?
"Cooking? Sewing? lol pretty much anything most adults should be proficient at that I’m not…" Somerocketeer said it best, I think. I can hardly cook and I'd really love to learn how at some point.
5. Are you scared of the dark?
Only after watching a ghost movie like the Paranormal Activity series.
6. If you had to switch career/studying path completely, what would you switch to?
Oh, I wish I could actually do this right now. I'd love to get into the publishing industry. That's my dream.
7. Least favorite movie genre?
Probably ... horror. Or torture porn. Which probably isn't an actual genre, but it may as well be, these days.
8. Favourite book read in 2012?
Uuuuum ... probably Steve Jobs' biography. (I didn't read many books this year, I'm a horrible person.) It was really neat to learn where he came from and what kind of person he was when he wasn't being the master showman at Apple's keynotes.
9. What type of art do you prefer in your home?
I adore watercolour paintings, as well as drawings and paintings that I've picked up at comic conventions.
10. Your worst habit?
Not cleaning up after myself, I think. My place is constantly a disaster area.
11. What do you look most forward to in 2013?
I honestly don't know. I really hope that I'll be able to pay off some of my debts (damnable student loans) so I'll have some financial freedom again. I'd also really like to actually go on a trip to Florida with some friends, which so far has just been hypothetical planning.
