As for the person behind the rants... here is what I'll tell you:
I am a gemini (Zodiac), an ENTP (MBTI), a number 7 with an 8 wing (Enneagram), orange with a close green (True Colours) and a spirited communicator (HRDQ Communication Styles).
My personal library is vast and contains mostly non-fiction, self-exploration, vegetarian/vegan cooking and nutrition books. My favourite books I've read somewhat lately and enjoyed include Freakonomics, The Tipping Point, The Girl Who Played With Fire (Trilogy), Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. I love making collages, painting and photography. My favourite colours to wear are green, because it matches my eyes, black because it makes me feel like people take me seriously and pattern because it makes me feel artsy. My favourite colours to look at are yellow and purple. I'm a sucker for sunsets, romantic comedies and anything chocolate.
I love travelling and even more so the prospect of travelling, researching places to visit, flights, hotels, nooks and crannies with the possibility of an adventure. Some of my favourite places that I have visited thus far are Cinque Terre, Santorini, Prague, Melbourne, Dalat and Luang Prabang. There are many places that I have yet to see that I would like to, which I will include in my soon to be updated "things to do/see before I die" list, in which I generally associate places I want to see with things I hope to do, to make the places that much more meaningful. I really enjoy making lists. Also, reading and saving inspirational quotes is a favourite pastime of mine. A few of my latest finds include:
"how to be happy: decide every morning that you are in a good mood" and
"dreams don't work unless you do" also,
"the harder I work, the luckier I get" and one more,
"one day, your life will flash before your eyes. MAKE SURE IT'S WORTH WATCHING".
I spent my whole childhood living in the same house with my parents and three siblings who are all my very best friends and I love them to pieces. After high school, the longest I ever lived in the same place was eight months, which only happened twice in five years. I like change.
I am a pop culture geek and love all genres of films... old, new, action, musical, dramas, I love them all! Some of my favourites include: Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, Braveheart, When Harry Met Sally, Gladiator and Girl, Interrupted. I also love some genres of music, which do not include country, electronic or metal. I spend most mornings listening to Motown and blues varieties, in my car I usually listen to either songs from film soundtracks or rock/alternative music still from CD's I burnt when I was in high school, or the radio. When I'm winding down in my apartment, it's more oldies, indie and rock and when I'm winding up, it's usually top 40. Here is a list of my "favourites" on 8 Tracks as of RIGHT NOW:
