Now, in no particular order, 30 interesting things about myself:
- I love to travel. I've been to France, Jamaica, England and Tanzania, and I plan on going to more
- I play clarinet.
- I L-O-V-E books. This was really the reason I started this iteration of my blogging life, to write about books and graphic novels and comics and stuff, but I haven't really got to that yet.
- I have been in a relationship with my wonderful girlfriend for almost four years. She told me to put stuff like how handsome and dashing I am on my list, but I figured that would be a little too much ;)
- I used to write poetry. Some of it is still up on my old blog, but I haven't really written anything new in a while. Got out of the habit I guess.
- I'm a huge geek, especially when it comes to sci-fi. I'm not a Trekkie (or a Trekker, though I know that there is a difference) but I do circle around some of the fandoms.
- Firefly is one of my absolute favourite tv shows, and it was through that show that I've discovered much of the programmes that I watch today.
- When I was little I had a stuffed dog named Doggie (or Falkor, cuz he kinda looked like the luck dragon) and a stuffed bunny named Bunny. I was really imaginative.
- My dad's side of the family is from Jamaica. And yes, I am white.
- I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up, though I'm still banking on dragonrider.
- I love instrumental music. Movie, tv and video game soundtracks are absolutely phenomenal.
- I am increasingly aware of how great things were when I was a kid. Power Rangers, Sesame Street, Art Attack... kids tv these days sucks in comparison
- Doctor Who is pretty much my all-time favourite tv show and almost without fail I manage to get my friends addicted to it.
- I think British tv is far superior to American. Same with comedy and humour.
- My best time for reading the entire Lord of the Rings is 36 hours. That is 6 hours per book. Hmmm... I wonder if I could beat that now?
- I love exotic food, especially sushi and Indian food.
- Also, spicy foods. cf. Jamaican-ness.
- I had a pet fish named Seaking (I was really into Pokémon at the time) that I kept for three years.
- Silver > gold
- Not only was I in chess club in elementary school, I started my school's chess club.
- I also sang in my elementary school choir at a Toronto Blue Jays game.
- I'm not much for sports in general, but I love volleyball and soccer (or football if you prefer)
- I don't cry very often, but there are only three movie which have even got me close: Bridge to Terebithia (and I even knew what was coming!), Up, and Toy Story 3. Darn Pixar and its ability to tell such great stories.
- I laugh out loud when I read really funny books. Sometimes embarrassingly so. Good Omens, I'm looking at you.
- I have weird man-crushes on Nathan Fillion and Matt Damon. There, I said it.
- I love the stars and space. There is just something so romantic about them, not just in a lovey romantic way (though they are that), but also in the way they catch our imagination.
- On that note, Pluto is my favourite planet (I'm still in denial). I played Pluto in a kindergarten play, and my mom recently found my costume.
- My favourite colours are green and blue, though I also really like black. Coincidentally, those are the colours of Seana's eyes.
- I have a lot of mannerisms which resemble those of a cat, especially when I am relaxing. Probably because I learned from one.
- I love the Arthurian legends, and ever since I was exposed to them as a kid I have tried to live my life as much to the Knight's Code as possible. Chivalry is not dead yet.
