Thanks @sarashouldbestudying I appreciate the tag 🙂

I’m going to use gifs so I’m going to put most of it under the cut.

1) Writing – I need to write, like I need oxygen to breathe practically. It’s part of my identity, spinning stories and writing them down is what I do, it’s who I am. If I’m not writing, then I feel like I’m wasting time. A ridiculous notion given how much I procrastinate but yeah if I’m not writing I feel like I should be, it’s in my head, it’s constantly at the back of my mind.

2) Music – I love pretty much all music. It is so very rare that I don’t have something playing. I can’t stand the quiet, I find it really distracting as I get hyper alert to any random noise. My iPod goes with me everywhere. Plugging in and having the consistent sounds of a song, rather than the sound of people all around me, is the only thing that stops a panic attack sometimes.

3) Stargate – This gets an entry on it’s own because I love it that much. I never get tired of it. No matter my mood, no matter how I feel, I can always put Stargate on, relax and it cheers me up even if only for the 40 minutes it’s on screen. The three shows weren’t perfect but they did a lot right and the expansive extended universe of potential, gives me a lot to think about when I can’t sleep at night.

4) Once Upon a Time – Another entry on it’s own. Now this show decidedly isn’t perfect but even if the plot quite often leads something to be desired, the characters and the world have so much potential, that it just sets my imagination on fire. To be honest I think that is what I look for most in anything I watch/read – potential. Plus this is the only show where I’m active in fandom, Rumbelle is why I joined tumblr and Once Upon a Time is what I fill my dash with.

5) Other TV/Movies – There’s a lot of stuff I like. I have a rather big DVD collection and I rewatch a lot. I could write a big long list but I probably shouldn’t. So my top ones that I keep coming back to would be Marvel Movies, Fools Gold, Princess Diaries, Hustle, Flashpoint, CSI, NCIS etc.

6) Cute puppy pictures – I don’t like dogs in reality, mostly because I have a problem with unpredictability and all animals are inherently unpredictable. I’m really nervous around dogs, I know that they aren’t going to hurt me but yeah, well I’m nervous around anything alive really. However, I love dogs in abstract – they are so sweet!

7) Technology – I do like new shiny gadgets. I never get them because it’s illogical, always better to wait until they have been out a while and the bugs have been worked out. Usually don’t get them after that because, no need, only get stuff if it would be of use. However, that doesn’t stop me from drooling over the shiny’s and reading through their specs on the internet, or looking at them in the store.

8) The Ocean – I absolutely love the sea, the crashing of the waves, the smell of the ocean breeze. I am terrified of seagulls so going to the seaside is always tricky. However, I do love the sea. If I was a gazillionaire I would live on a boat probably.

9) Swimming – I do my best thinking around water. Get ideas in the shower, or preferably while doing laps in the pool. I’m not that fast, but I used to go 3x a week and do 40 laps or something. I haven’t been able to swim in a year now because of an injury and I miss it so much.

10) Blankets – I hate the summer so much because I can’t do anything about being too hot, winter is awesome, most of the bugs are dead, nobody bugs me about going outside and I can huddle under blankets. I love blankets, they are so comforting and snuggly.
