11 Random Things About Myself:
1. One of my dream projects is to create a 5+ ft. structure using toothpicks & Elmer's glue.
2. I prefer real keyboards over touchscreen keyboards.
3. I absolutely hate talking on the phone (unless the person I'm talking to is a close relative).
4. I love to quote people, real-life and fictional.
5. I don't like popcorn much.
6. Joseph Conrad is currently my favorite author.
7. I'm good at quickly inventing long, complex passwords. So long as I write them down, all is well.
8. I have what is called "synesthesia", mostly when it comes to numbers.
9. Public speaking doesn't scare me, though I'm super reserved and dislike talking in general.
10. I've learned how to say seven things in Russian--"Good day", "Hello", "Hi", "Thank You", "Yes", "No", and "I love(d) you" (it's Pushkin's fault!).
11. I've been told at least three times in the last six months that I strongly resemble somebody else. Random, indeed. It would be interesting to meet these people; then I could actually "see myself as others see me."
11 Questions:
1. Can you describe your ideal wedding in three words?
Traditional, small, relaxed.

5. Do you use Pandora? What's your favorite station you have? If not, what kind of radio do you listen to?

10. Biggest plan for summer so far?

11. How do you calm down when you're frustrated/upset?
Sometimes I play the violin, and that restores rational thinking. Or I just find something else to do that gets my mind off it, or explain it to a family member. If it's a big deal, a good cry in my room helps.
Prayer always helps, too. I remember once I was upset, and it wasn't even a big deal, but I felt the need to pray for help. Literally within seconds, I met someone I hadn't seen in a while who cheered me up. It might seem like a "little thing", but it made a real difference to me.
