  1. John Williams music. It doesn't matter what movie it's from, but there is something to fit every conceivable mood. If I'm mad, sad, or just want something to liven up my day, Johnny is the man for the job. I'd post a clip, but there are so many perfect tracks, I don't know where I'd begin. And of course, Pinkie Pie's Smile Song. That goes without saying.
  2. Star Wars: Rogue One, Indiana Jones 5, Incredibles 2, Beauty and the Beast (live action), Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Jungle Cruise, The Mummy and Gigantic.
  3. I don't speak with an accent of any kind. I lived in the midwest for a few years and the accent tried to take root, but I always fight against such things, no matter where I live. Some accents are beautiful. I'd have no problem developing an English accent, it just sounds so musical and elegant, but otherwise, I try to keep it universal. I speak well enough normally, but occasionally if I'm tired or have been talking too much, I stammer a bit. It's like I have too many words all trying to get out of me at once and they trip over each other. Sometimes they just lock up in my mouth and I can't form any words at all. I do digress in conversations too. I talk too much and too fast, and one subject often runs into another and another. But that's okay, it just covers more ground that way.
  4. I'm not typically a coffee drinker. I usually get my caffeine fix from soda or energy drinks. But when I do drink coffee, I want something flavorful and unusual. There's no point to drinking plain old coffee if you can put a new twist to it. The most interesting coffee I think I've tried was Ethiopian Harrar coffee (I'm not sure if I spelled that right). It was super-caffeinated and really different. If I could have that every day, I'd consider becoming a coffee drinker.
  5. I guess I think in my own voice. But it seems more like I'm bypassing the middle-man and going straight to mental impulse without verbal articulation. So I don't always have a voice yammering inside my brain. But when I do, it's just my own familiar speaking voice.
  6. I love cats. I'm allergic to them but I think they're far superior to dogs. Don't get me wrong, I love all animals, dogs included, but cats are more civilized creatures. Cats don't have a need to bark all night long at absolutely nothing, or chase people and other animals. They seldom bite and don't need to be walked all the time just to take a potty break. Cats are independent and serene. If they desire affection, they'll let you know how and when to serve them. Their affection is not always readily given so it feels like you've earned something great when they condescend to let you pet them. They're cleaner, quieter and more elegant than their louder, aggressive canine counterparts.
  7. I used to shoot fireworks when I was a teenager. My family and I lived in an area where it was legal so it wasn't a problem. After moving into a big city, there weren't as many options for fireworks, and fewer kinds were available for purchase, so I got out of the habit. I live down the street from Disneyland though, so I don't have to spend money for a good show anymore. I can see them every night right from my window.
  8. I'm currently living in an apartment with a roommate. I would like to move out and have total privacy, but the rent in Southern California is insane, so I don't think I'll be going anywhere soon. In any case, I don't like the process of moving; toting heavy boxes and seeing all my stuff get broken. I'd prefer to stay put than have to deal with that kind of stuff right now.
  9. 1. It may be obvious, but yeah, money. Money brings freedom and opportunity; two things I want. 2. The ability to transform at will into anything I choose. This can be an animal such as a bird if I want to fly, or fantastic things like a dragon or even a cartoon character. The possibilities are endless. 3. Finally, I think I'd wish for an end to medical maladies. No need for medicines, doctors or insurance companies with their red tape, just bypass the BS and end the suffering.
  10. Walmart is convenient and covers most of the basics, so I'll give it perks for that. But if I want something special, especially food items, I'll go to Trader Joe's for all my gourmet dining needs.
  11. I am the worst gardener in the world. I'd love to plant something and nurture it and watch it grow, but everything I touch seems to turn into death. If I was a super-heroine, my super power would be plant destruction. I love plants, but I have no talent for making them grow. I think plants must see me coming and spontaneously die just out of spite. Even if I could manage to grow things, I don't think I'd want to spend time hunched over a garden, perspiring and getting eaten alive by bugs as my back slowly gives out. It just doesn't interest me. But I salute and admire anyone who can do it. It's a talent to be proud of.
  12. "Cross that bridge when you come to it" and "When happiness comes to visit, be sure to offer it a comfortable chair." The first one helps me to avoid overthinking things and obsessing over them needlessly, and the other just sounds comforting. Also, a Personal Motto from Storm Cake, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" has given me a lot of peace.
  13. I've had a couple fragmented lucid dreams before, but they never lasted long. I've tried many times to improve my chances. Some of these efforts include keeping a dream diary, taking 'dream herb' (Calea Zacatechichi) and practicing awareness in my waking hours (like asking myself if I'm dreaming, and trying to put my hand through things). So far none of these methods have yielded very good results, but I keep trying. There's a whole alternate life to be lived in lucid dreams, with no limits, and I want to live some of it!
  14. I use profanity quite often to be honest. I love to swear. I swear when I'm happy, mad or just for recreation. I don't swear around kids (unless their language is worse than mine) or around others who would be offended by it. And I keep it under control at times and places where it would be inappropriate. I try to keep my swearing civilized and use cartoony swear words instead of real ones most of the time, but a nice choice F word, or (in extreme cases) a C word seems to do the job when nothing else can. It may not be the most attractive talent habit, but there are worse things I could do.
  15. I'd give up chocolate. I love the stuff, but cheese is real food and not just a wonderful snack or post-script to a meal. Cheese goes into so many dishes that I couldn't give up. I could not live without pizza, cheeseburgers, tacos, or countless other favorites. Chocolate would be a loss if I had to live without it. But I'd rather give up dessert than the meal.
  16. I'm not afraid of the dark itself, or even what's in it because there isn't anything there that wasn't there in the daylight. What makes me nervous is the stuff my imagination dredges up and convinces me is there. Rationally I know it's all nonsense, but reason isn't always the dominant force when you can see things with your own eyes.
  17. I get queasy, twitchy and a huge pressure builds in my chest when I'm nervous. I often stammer and get tongue-tied, tap my feet or pace around. Sometimes I launch into house chores and get tons of stuff done, or I'll pick up a drawing tablet and scribble something furiously (which usually comes out awful, but compelling at the same time).
  18. I wash my hair every day. I have very oily hair so I can't let it go very long without a wash.
  19. I love fireworks. I like the loud booming and the pretty colors. I watch them all the time, not just on the Fourth of July, because Disneyland is just up the street. I don't really like it when the neighbors blast off a barrage in the middle of the night and keep everyone up. I can tolerate it on the Fourth but not all week before and after, that just gets old.
  20. I feel like I've been turned inside-out. I had too much energy drink earlier and it made me sick. I had a good puke though and sent it all to the septic tank, so I feel better now. Wrung out, but better overall. Too much info?
  21. Brie! By all means, Brie! I'll also have a side of Havarti, Gouda or any mild, creamy cheese you can send my way, please.
  22. Sometimes I overly worry. It seems incongruous because I tend to live full steam ahead and take whatever comes of it. But sometimes, especially when I'm tired, I start to worry about things that are completely inconsequential. I'm usually fine though after a good night's sleep (assuming I can fall asleep with all that stuff on my mind).
  23. I loved it when she became an Alicorn because that's just a natural progression for her life. I may be nostalgic for the earlier seasons of the show, but it has nothing to do with Twilight's evolution as a character. Anything that advances a character is good with me. There's no sense in turning back. Life just doesn't work that way.
