Answers to 'ask me anything'

How would you describe your taste in books, overall?

These days, I'm drawn towards books with psychological, character driven, and/or political themes.  And I tend to stick to old books.  :)
 
Very random— Did you have any imaginary friends as a child?

The first stories I wrote had characters that were (sort of) like imaginary friends (I was also one of the characters in the stories, you see).  Sherlock Holmes was my best imaginary friend! 

Who are you...where do you come from...where are you heading to?  (Interpret those as you wish.)

Firstly, I'm neither an introvert nor an extrovert - just terribly reserved.  I like public speaking; social gatherings don't exhaust me; and I'm exceedingly bad at conversing about things which interest me.  In general, when it comes to small talk I'm tongue-tied, though I can't resist talking about current events/history/politics (my one interest I can talk coherently about).  I like being around people, and I love peace and quiet.  I get along with everyone, but I'm instinctively independent.  You could call probably me a sociable loner, or something like that. 

Besides that, I'm a rational Romantic, "Renaissance woman," and first-rate daydreamer.  I find it hard to relate to most people.  I feel much older than my age, always have.

I've lived in the state of Washington all my life.  I am really attached to the rain, woods, gray skies, Mountain, and Pacific Ocean.   Though I disagree with most of what goes on here, overall I love Washington and don't plan to move.  As Bilbo says, "It's no bad thing to celebrate a simple life."  Once I have a degree, my plan is to get a steady job, my own place, and a Welsh corgi.  I try not to over-think the future!

I know you are in College and I am curious about what kind of degree you are getting? What have been your favorite classes so far? 

My degree will be a bachelor of science, computer science.  (Previously, my degree ideas were music performance, accounting, and math...somehow, it evolved.)  Favorite classes!  Probably Spanish 2, Music Appreciation, English 101, and any class with my first history professor.  Honorable mention goes to my calculus classes, where something hilarious was always happening.
