#hibernacles

How are you today? When I first wrote this, I said "fine but tired of my grandpa's saga." Today, I should add that I'm also sleepy and jet-lagged.

What is your one true passion? I don't know. I deeply love many things, but I'm not sure. I love travelling, I love astronomy and I love writing and watching tv shows. Too many, I'm not sure what it might be.

Are you following your dreams? If not, why? I would like to think so; I'm following them to the best of my capacity to. Alas, things don't always go as I'd like them to

Choose between love or money Can I have both? I might go for love, but I dunno.

If you had to eat one food and drink one drink for the rest of your life, what would they be? Something that'd be satiate me (some kind of chicken) and water.

Do you have any regrets? Too many.

List your top 5 favourite songs at the moment

In no particular order, and trying to keep it recent. (I need new music.) This has changed so much ever since I first did it so:

"The Trailer Song" - Kacey Musgraves

"Scarecrow" - Alex and Sierra

"Pompeii" - Bastille

"Stay With Me" - Sam Smith

"Photograph" - Ed Sheeran

"I Love You Will Still Sound The Same" - Oh Honey

"Simple as This" - Jake Bugg (I love the TFIOS soundtrack)

I could've put a lot of songs here; not sure about my choice tbh.

What’s your patronus? According to the Buzzfeed quiz, a horse; the FB app says it's a goat.

How are you enjoying 2014 so far? How do I put this...? No. 2014 hates me and I hate it, and it's been like that since the last few days of 2013. It's had its moments but I'm so disillusioned lately I can't look at the year positively.

List 3 countries you want to visit

Hmm. Just three? This is impossible... I'd love to have more thorough/extensive trips to some of the countries I've been to (US, Canada and... every single one?). Anyhow, as stand-ins for regions: Indonesia, Netherlands/Belgium and Australia? Sigh. I don't know; I really want to travel the world.

What was the last book you read? "The First Phone Call from Heaven" by Mitch Albom.

More questions. Now tagged by Adele.

The last movie you’ve seen at a movie-theatre. "The Fault in Our Stars," on June 25... and July 13.

Do you like to sing in public? I don't like it, but I sometimes do it. I like pretending I'm singing whatever I'm listening to, but without actually singing.

What animal would you like to be? A cute one that has everything done for them? Or that isn't in any danger of being eaten? I dunno. Maybe a cat?

If you could choose to have been born in a different place, where would it be? I don't know if I would choose a different place because I've been extremely lucky in life... but the US or Canada, I guess.

If you could live the life of a TV show character, which one would it be? Why would I? Having something big happen to me every November, February and/or May? :-P Not that I'd be self-aware but... I have a few characters in mind, but some of their bad situations are just too terrible.

Now, what character would you like to play if you were an actor? A meaty one that would display all my range and skills, of course; one that resonated with people in a special way. (I know the question wanted to ask for a specific one but it didn't outright say it so.)

Regardless of your skills, intelligence and knowledge, if you could choose any occupation, what would you like to do? Something that paid well? I dunno. Work is always the one thing I've been ~scared to think about, even if I'm approaching that time of my life. I kind of like my choices up till now, though. (Edit: Some ambassador/travel thing?)

Is there something you always wished your parents (or someone else) gave you as a present and didn’t get it? what is it? Sure I have. I probably got it, or something *better* later. Maybe I didn't, but I'm over it. I'm pretty thankful; my parents are the greatest and I owe them so much.

Ever wanted an unusual animal as your pet? Which one? Does Toothless count? If not, I don't think so. I love my brother's fish and I adore my friends' dogs and cats... which has made me consider having one of those. But unusual? The ones that come to mind are not domesticable.

What could you say about the Czech Republic without googling it? Well, location within Europe (right there in the middle, surrounded by Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland), capital city (Prague!), coin (Czech crown) and probably a bunch other things, like "I can't understand its language at all". I'm European and can remember silly things. (Never been there, though. That might or might not be changing soon.)

When I say exotic, what is the first place that comes to your mind? Probably some island in Indonesia, or Africa. Thanks to TAR, I've seen some of those more exotic places.

My questions (feel free not to):

Favorite song to listen to when you’re down, and why?

Is there a show you see everywhere (social media and/or real life) that you're just not interested in?

Favorite astronomical object (planet, star, nebula, constellation... whatever)?

Would you have rather been born in another place and/or era? If so, where and/or when?

Favorite professor you've ever had and why?

Does the meaning of your favorite color agree with your personality?

What's one of your favorite childhood memories?

What's your most used app on your phone (or computer)?

What was the last live show (be it a concert, a play, anything) you attended?

What new TV show are you most excited about this fall?
