I am usually rubbish at answering asks, but for once I noticed this one and thought it deserved answering. A lot of people I know, including myself, have low self-esteem and often fall into that pit of denigrating ourselves - perhaps as a defense mechanism, say-it-before-someone-else-does. I think taking the time to reflect on our positive qualities for once, could be very beneficial.

So here we go:

1. I am very polite. You learn the value of it when you work in retail. Some call it hopocrisy; I think it’s respect for the people you speak to. People are almost automatically more pleasant to you and feel happier too; it’s a win-win situation. Plus, a lot of anger can been derailed by a sincere smile or genuine apology.

2. I have an excellent long-term memory. Obscure fandom fact? Name of my history teacher is high school? List of cities I visited during my last trip to Europe 5 years ago, in chronological order? I can tell you. Short term memory is another story, though. So are multiplication tables.

3. I’m a pretty decent cook. Probably because I love eating so much :-D. I have a few choice recipes, like my roasted-pepper cream sauce linguini, my spicy chick peas and red beans salad, and supplices de Léonce, that my friends keep asking me to do when they come over for dinner.

4. I am talented at drawing and French. I feel like I don’t deserve much credit for either as they came easily to me, but I still. (Note that French is my first language.

5. I have a nice smile and try to bestow it to the world whenever I can :-D.

Thanks babe! Okay, if I don’t include my family and boyfriend, my top 5 favourite things would be:

Sorry for the delay! I’ve been (and still am) very busy with my Paperlegends artwork and sent my Tumblr on queue for nearly a week.

So, 5 random facts:

1. I have a sticker on my laptop near the touchpad that says “Sherlove" <3

2. I own over 1200 books, and around 150 Star Trek fanzines. 

3. I’d spend my whole life barefoot if I could. 

4. I hate shopping for pants and coats, because I’m built like a monkey with long legs and arms and everything is always too short. 

Mine? Awww, thanks!

Sarah congrats omg! I'm going again for mine on Friday xx
