You can probably tell by my favorite stories list that I prefer dramatic or comedic romances with believable character development. I tend to collect my favorite books, CDs, DVDs, games, and snow globes.

I also love my computer, my game consoles, my plushies, internet access, blue, the moon, tea, Coke (the soda, not the drug), jet fighters, flying, roller coasters, and noodles.

I like hanging out with friends, watching good movies, marathoning good TV shows, wit, sarcasm, penguins, pandas, white tigers, certain dinosaurs, taking things apart (and reassembling with moderate success), nighttime, shadows, snow, Swiss army knives, hearing stories, mixing reality with unreality, acting tough, rollerblading, skateboarding, driving, playing select sports, tai chi, doodling, playing piano, and duct tape.

I am sort of a collector, sort of a tomboy, a hopeless romantic, a daydreamer, unavoidably indecisive, easily excitable, empathetic, obsessive, a pack rat, a perfectionist, a softcore gamer, mortal, and really short.

I dislike wasting food, most bugs (living, dead, or digital), bland hero characters, spammers, scammers, telling on people, arguing with people, people who argue too much, people who jump to conclusions, people who are afraid of everything, people who worry too much, whining, being forced to make decisions, and pain.

I believe in no real religion, reincarnation, parallel / alternate universes, and that in a past life I was probably a kiwi bird or penguin who wanted to fly.

I dream of flying, making an impact on my closest friends, making my favorite people happy, being part of something epic, and visiting the moon to see the stars.
