BASICS Name: Call me whatever you want, people do anyway, so... 。(⌒‿⌒。) Birthday: On the hottest day of the year long ago but quite recently in the great scheme of things. Favorite color: Red. I like darker reds better but the only colour I dislike at all is navy blue. Orange is great too, burnt orange is wonderful, and looking at Megh's name written down feels like my synethesia wants to perform an entire opera.  Lucky number: Ooh, eh...not sure I have one... I tend to like a number better if it's in a colour I like. For example, 3 is somewhere betweeen yellow and orange, 5 is bright red and 9 is a dark, brownish red, which I like. 2 is a swishy white, like heavy mist over an early autumn morning, which in my opinion doesn't suit a number, so I like it less than, say, 7, which is dark green to me. Height: 5'9" (175cm). Which I will lovingly remind you of every chance that I get, Valdes. Talents: No matter what sentence (or even sound) you utter, I will be able to relate that to a song (99,9% of the time it will be from a musical) and proceed to sing that entire song. Oooh, and I know the ENTIRE libretto of the broadway version of RENT by heart and am able to perform it at any given time. Last dream you remember: Er....no clue, actually. I usually forget my dreams pretty soon after I've woken up. Can you juggle: ......sort of...? I mean, yeah, for a while, but don't stand too close to me and don't say I didn't warn you when it all goes south and you end up face first in an unsuspecting punch bowl. Art/sports/both: ARTS. And a bit of indoor rock climbing, but I don't really consider what I do a sport, it's more like agressive and physical therapy and a great way to learn to not swear in front of little kids. Do you like writing: YES. YES I DO. Do you like dancing: yES I DO, I DON'T CARE WHICH DANCE OR IF I'M EVEN HALF DECENT AT IT, I WILL LOVE IT. Do you like singing: ahhahhahahahhahHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHHH. You just try to shut me up. It's in every cell of me, there's always a song waiting to burst my ribcage open if I give it the slightest chance. I could never cope with becoming mute; without the ability to sing I would probably waste away to a little pile of grey sludge on the floor.

FANTASIES  Dream vacation: Uh. EVERYWHERE. That roadtrip doesn't sound too bad, I've been planning to ride the full route 66 for years... THE VATICAN CITY AND ROME OH GOD HOW COULD I FORGET THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE ART AND THE HISTORY AND OH LORD THE MYTHOLOGY YES. Dream person: I have no idea what you mean. Romantically, platonically, a character, what? Dream wedding: I've never really fantasized about getting married, I mean (cliché alert) if I found the right person I wouldn't be opposed to it, but if I have to think ahead a little, it would either be something extremely nerdy or something incredibly cozy (like a small number of people in the winter or fall, a simple outdoor ceremony, and after or instead of the dinner there would be much tea and hot cocoa). Dream pet: A wombat or a finnish lapphund, I guess. A wombat would be so great. Dream job: I'm so conflicted. On the one hand, I want to spend the rest of my life in the theatre, preferably as a director and actor, and somewhere within the deep recesses of my soul I know that I'll never be truly happy and genuinely content if I can't do that but I still feel I could live out my days in an old antique book store and be at peace and at least relatively content. I just know that if I did that, there would always be somthing missing. Favorite album:  WHERE DO I START.

PREFERENCES  Guys/girls/both/other: Well, I'm a panromantic asexual but I do tend to prefer more feminine people (of any sex or gender). Hair color: I....don't really have a preference. But seeing people with brightly coloured hair in public always makes me happy. Eye color: I'm a sucker for brown eyes but it's not really the colour of the eyes that matters the most to me. I've always appreciated my ability to read a person's personality in their eyes, and I haven't been wrong so far (out of the people I've gotten to know, of course, I can't run up to every singe person I see and start asking them personal and philosophical questions). Humorous/serious: Humorous, but take it from someone who learned it the hard way - if they can't be serious when it matters, it is NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE. Taller/shorter: I don't really have a preference, but shorter means I'm more likely to be able to lift them up and twirl them around, which is always great. Biggest turn-off: Lying. That is a deal-breaker that I am not willing to compromise for a second. I understand some lies, like the classic "throwing a surprise birthday party and having to keep them from finding out" but I make it absolutely clear at the start of any friendship or relationship that I have been lied to enough in my life and that the truth is always better, no matter how bad it may seem. And damn, the whole bad winner/loser thing, I can't stand that shit..  Biggest turn-on: Oh, I have no idea. I tend to be really enthusiastic about anything that's sweet and caring NO WAIT I KNOW. The best thing I know about any relationship, wether it's romantic or friendship or whatever, what makes me happier than pretty much anything, is when someone sends me a picture or a text or so with the explanation "I saw this and I thought of you". That has happened...probably less than five times in my life, but when it does, iT'S THE GREATEST THING EVER. The first time that happened was when my then-classmate (who was and is one of my two closest friends) had found a little tea ball in the shape of a monkey which she gave me along with the explanation "I just saw this and thought of you" and it made me so damn happy because it meant I existed somewhere other than "this exact moment, this encounter", it meant I existed to someone even when I wasn't standing right in front of that person and to this day, albeit for slightly different reasons, it makes me insurmountably happy.
