10. dream pet?

18. a compliment you’ve received?

28. favourite way to spend time alone?

30. what are your opinions on the person asking?

Hmm. Well. Let me see. (Also, thank you for copying the questions! Not obligatory, for any future asker, but easier to remember what I need to answer that way.)

1. Not something I really ever thought of. In this scenario, however, I have to do it. So. Hmm. Maybe yellow/orange? My granfather was ginger, but nobody in the family has inherited this hair color fully. Going back to the roots, so to speak, could be interesting.

10. I'm not really one to keep pets, I don't think. I'd love to have a pet dragon or something, and the question didn't specify real animals! Beyond that... I don't know. At a younger age I may have answered a horse. A different option could be a cat, maybe. But I can't say I'm taking good care of myself right now, not to speak of a pet. Yes, I know the lobster guy story who learned to take better care of himself through caring for pets, I still think this is a surefire way to get a dead animal or a burden on the rest of my family. So I'll stick with the dragon.

18. This is a fascinating type of question, because it forces you to think positively of yourself, in addition to looking into what other people see in you. So naturally, it's hard. To prove that, I challenge you to answer the same too: what's a compliment you've received? (By the end of this post you might have a readymade answer, though, so IDK.) Anyway, I was told once that when I get into a Sugya in the Gemara I tend to get really emotionally involved in it. It doesn't apply only to torah study, but this is the context I received it in.

28. Hum. Usually reading. Maybe going on a walk, but I just might put "reading the Hebrew Encyclopedia" on the top there, that's a really fun way to pass the time, and it gives you loads of new information! Did you know that Switzerland used to be a bunch of Germanic princedoms as part of the Holy Roman Empire, until a couple of princedoms started to get worried about the houses that rose to power in Germany so they started a confederation of their own? They also tried to take Alsace-Lorraine a couple of times, after disconnecting from the HRE.
