    Did you prefer the suburban and/or rural (non-urban in any case) area in which you lived before, or is the urban life suiting you alright?

    I absolutely despise urban areas. I much prefer living in the middle of nowhere with the only neighbors being trees, and various critters. Basically, I'd like to live like Fluttershy.

    The place I'm living at at the moment isn't too bad. It's a nice little neighborhood, but the views aren't all that amazing. Looking out my bedroom window, I see a water tower, train tracks and factories. I try desperately to ignore them, and just look up to the sky. I know no matter where I live, the sky will always be beautiful, and breathtaking.

    I personally don't enjoy city life very much either; I dislike downtown Toronto quite a bit as it's basically a concrete jungle. I live in uptown Toronto (right at the border to the greater Toronto area), which isn't that much better but at least it's generally clear of highrise buildings and a fair bit quieter.

    However, I almost always spend a month or two of the summer living - mostly alone - in my family's cabin just north of Whitehorse (capital of Yukon territory, just adjacent to Alaska); between the fact that you can go on for miles undisturbed - no people, no buildings, no signs of civilization - and the somewhat harsh climate, it's probably my favourite part of the year.

    EDIT: I forgot to ask a question. Are there any outdoor activities you like to engage in on a fairly regular basis? (ie. Hiking, mountain biking, picnicking, etc.)

    Do you have any pets? If so, what are they, if not, why not?

    One day, I'd like to live deep in a forest on the mountains, miles away from civilization, and own various animals. It's my dream.

    As for outdoor activities, I like to go for walks alone. At my old place, I would walk down the country roads early in the mornings, and since the road was pointing East, I'd be walking directly into the sunrise. It was quite peaceful, and beautiful. It's one of the things I'll miss the most about my old place, next to having chickens.

    I also walked through the forests around the area, and even through a graveyard that sat right across the street from my house. There lied the people who built the place. It was pretty neat. I had lots of adventure at that old, 150 year old farm house. I will miss it dearly.

    I have an English Black Lab named Raven, a Pomeranian named Tamahome - Tama for short- and five cats. One fat old black cat named Usher, (my sister named him...) a black cat with a white chest named Lilly that we found under our porch one day at the old house, and her 3 sons. 1 white and brown cat from the first litter named Pickles, (he's mine, and only likes me) and two surviving twins from the failed second litter, Brutus and Smeagol. They were the only survivors of a 6 kitten litter that Lilly abandoned for an unexplained reason. My mom and I had to raise them ourselves. They're very close, and practically do everything together, including being mischievous trouble makers.

    What a plentiful plethora of pets!

    If you had the chance to move to and live anywhere, - no strings attached - would you choose to move? If so, where would you go?

    I had more. I had 3 rabbits, 30+ chickens, (yes, I considered them members of the family) and another dog and 2 cats, but they passed away.

    I've been asked this question many times, and I always have trouble answering. There are so many beautiful places on this planet of ours. We were going to move to the upper peninsula of Michigan, an area surrounded by national parks, rivers, lakes, bike trails, waterfalls, and other wonders. I'd be happy living there, but we couldn't get the place because the owner died, or something. I really don't know.

    The place in Michigan would be cool, but it wouldn't be that drastic of a change from where I've already been. I'm not too sure where I'd want to live, but I'd definitely like to visit Africa, Italy, the U.K., New Zealand, Japan, and other places, just to get a change of scenery. After seeing these places, I may get a better idea on where I'd like to live.

    If you had to eat out, where would your favourite place to go be? Where would you categorically not eat?

    Welp. I was anticipating something different.

    I really don't know. It depends on my mood. You should know better than to ask a female where they'd like to eat.

    I could help but chuckle at this. All of it. A+ for creativity.

    When you were little, did you ever think about who you'd be once you grew up? Has this changed over the years?

    A'thank you~ *bows*

    Hmmm. I wanted to be a police officer when I was little, and even into my early teens. I don't really care for that line of employment anymore.

    Are there any YouTube channels or personalities which/whom you like or enjoy watching? (Should I be concerned that my questions sound like they came straight out of a medical questionnaire?)

    I recognize - and have watched - a bunch of these, although I don't see my personal favourite in the list (which is honestly not even surprising).

    Do you work better while listening to music? How about if you wanted to just kick-back and relax? If so, would the bands or genres you'd listen to differ between the two?

    I definitely achieve more things when I'm listening to my favorite tunes. The band I like to listen to the most when I'm sculpting, working out, studying, etc, is Steam Powered Giraffe. Their songs are filled with so much charisma and positive energy. It infinitely enhances my productivity.

    Also, oh my.

    I like them all, man. But I'd have to say Automatonic Electronic Harmonics, Suspender Man, Fire Fire and Captain Albert Alexander are probably my top 4. The others aren't even behind these 4. I love them all, really.

    Am I beginning coming across as creepy yet? Also, are there any games (digital, console, tabletop, card, etc.) you enjoy playing?

    Not really. I enjoy the attention.

    For video games, I'm nearly exclusively a Nintendo fan. So far, not much else interests me. I like Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Metroid, Smash Bros, among other games. Oh, and most of all, the greatest video game series of all time, The Legend of Zelda. It means more to me than most people do.

    I like other companies such as Capcom, Sega, and various other 3rd party developers, but no one can match the pure quality and joyous vibe that Nintendo puts in their games.

    As for tabletop games, I like Clue. I'm pretty proficient in that game. Ms. Scarlet for the win. (I wonder if there's any r34 of her...) Monopoly can be fun. Or agony. It depends on who's winning. I like to play poker, but the luck of the cards isn't really with me.
