What are some of your favourite books?
This is hard. I have a childhood attachment to the Harry Potter series and Fred Weasley, am in love with The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak; and the Kingkiller chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. But the books that I hold dearest have to be those in the Anne of Green Gables series. <33

What are a few notable hobbies of yours?
Is being a Grade A procrastinator a hobby? Because I could win an award for that. I like doodling and writing idle dreams in my Maths journal. I also like writing and playing games with my younger brothers, reading about books (har har har I can hear you laughing) and doing messy, large scale projects that involve paint and sticky hands.

What's your favourite colour?
Sometimes turquoise but mostly this dark shade of blue that makes you think sky and drowning. Mrm.

What are a few of your favourite movies, television shows, video games, etc.?
I like good animated movies, especially the oldies like The Lion King and Mulan. I like fast-paced stuff, but also old TV shows like Mind your language. My Fair Lady is also loverly.

What is your favourite music genre?
I like electropop, rock, and upbeat stuff. I mostly judge based on what sounds pleasant to me, I guess, and if I like the lyrics then all is good. The Beatles are amazing; Fall Out Boy is wicked awesome. And Florence+The Machine is reaaally good.

Where do you spend the most time on YWS?
These days? The Chatroom. But I also like stalking portfolios. *grins scary grin*

Anything else you'd like to add?
With a list like that? I'm going to be nice and end this here. :P
