Favourite Colour: Purple - Coincidence or not, since high school my school's colours have had purple in it. When I was a little kid my favourite colour was purple and as of now, that has come full circle. Before I just liked the glow, but now I like the trait that it's something noble, something that is rare. Both of which are traits I admire, especially since part of my name means "someone noble."
Favourite Animal: Fox - This should come as no surprise to anyone who's spoken to me recently about this or who's seen my blogposts about foxes. I admire foxes because they are an animal that survives without brute force; rather, their cunning and careful nature keeps them in the minds of people as a dangerous animal.
Favourite Personal Trait: Optimism - It's funny that this is the word I still use to describe myself, but through and through, this is my best trait by far. I make mistakes, I act stupid and I act irrational. I try to be logical, smart and likable but I can't say I'm very consistent with any of those. But at the end of the day, I'm always going to keep going, I'm not going to let something get me down and I'll keep moving forward, because that's what makes me me.
Favourite Song: Into the New World by Girls' Generation - I love music and I have thousands of songs in my iTunes library and to this day, I still love playing the violin, regardless of how horrid I am at it. This song in particular has a lot of memories for me, good and bad, to my current journey through life, to how I have to keep moving fearlessly into the future. This song speaks about fears and about break through them.
Favourite Word: Hope - If there's one thing I really like, it's the word hope. Hope is a word for dreams, for the future and for making wishes. While it can have a negative connotation in certain situations, it will forever remain the word I will place my belief in and one that can maybe change the world.
Favourite Book: Encylopedia Brown - This is probably one that surprises a lot of people because it's not a book for adults nor do I say it with any special intentions. I like my books that have depth, literary devices and such, but while I love books that depth, I also enjoy books that are light-hearted and childish, much like me. What I love most about this is the fact that Encyclopedia Brown had fully memorized an encyclopedia.
Favourite Unusual Trait: Cute Things - I spent a lot of time as a teenager trying to fit in as an emotionless guy, and it was frustrating and annoying at times. But now that I'm older, I don't know what I was so afraid of. I like cute things, like the Pikachu decal on my macbook, to the stuffed animals that are on my bed side to the pets I dream of owning. It's an unusual thing to like for guys but I'm not afraid to admit as I once was. It's odd, but that's fine.
Favourite Pastime: Writing - I will mention that I really like playing my violin and guitar but nothing captures and takes my time like writing. Writing my thoughts, role-playing characters to coming up with something that I'm totally proud of creating is something I will never get tired of. I have so many thoughts that run through my head and seeing it out on something gives me an inexplicable level of satisfaction.
Favourite Quote: "If someone benefits from it, it was a deed worth doing." - This is one of my favourite examples of selflessness and one that many people laugh at. I personally see why people find it so funny but I still can't help but be impressed by people who act with altruistic motives. Even if done for self-satisfaction, anyone who can help another with no selfish motives deserves applause, that's just how I feel.
Favourite Hero: My Brother - My brother will always be my hero, my idol and my model. I like to call him "the prince" reflected not only in the way I quote him but because of his name. He was named after a prince with hopes that he would be like a prince, and that he did, both in personality and self-entitlement over his younger counterpart, me. As much as he bothers me, annoys me, I love him dearly, as the person who takes the time to care for me, be nice to me and pay attention to my needs as well. But while he may be my idol, my model and my hero, I do not want to become him, because you can't surpass something by chasing it. You have to look past it. It's slightly amusing that both my brother and I have the character for "hero" in both of our names.
