It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. Things are going well, I'm feeling tons better. As I started to think about what to write for this post I realized that I have almost no profile or description of who I am an individual. Mostly, I think, the reason for that is because many of you are friends, family, and acquaintances who already know me to some degree. But then again, there are probably things you may not know about me (besides my ridiculous fondness for quotes with arts designs and pretty graphics and there's that whole pastry student bit).
So I found some questions to answer that might just give you more information than you ever needed to know about me.
Basics
Name: Rachel
Location: Chicago
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Main interests: baking, geeky things (Marvel comics, Doctor Who, Firefly, among others), cake decorating, some video games (PS3), Science (mostly astronomy, Astrobiology, and such), history
Education thus far: one bachelor of science, one certificate in baking and pastry, and Im in the process of acquiring another certificate in L'art de Patisserie.
LIVING ARRANGEMENT?
Apartment, two-bedroom, one roommate, one well-stocked kitchen, and one Full-sized Legolas cardboard cut-out.
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
By The Sword by Mercedes Lackey, a favorite fantasy writer who has the ability to make her characters very real. I usually cry near the end of her books because I've grown so attached to the characters.
FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Apples to Apples, Dix-it, or Pass the Pigs
FAVORITE MAGAZINE?
National Geographic, Cook's Illustrated, and Smithsonian are my top choices.
FAVORITE SMELLS?
Fresh or dried vanilla beans. None of that fake vanilla hogwash, thank you very much.
LEAST FAVORITE SMELLS?
Cigarettes breath is way up there.
FAVORITE SOUND?
This is oddly hard to decide... I don't really know.
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?
Being betrayed.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
Usually: no, no, you can't make me get up!! Oh, wait, there's coffee.....
FAVORITE COLOR?
Green, in most shades but currently favoring spring green, basil green, and sage green
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN LIFE?
Enjoying what you have and understanding that to live is a verb. I haven't quite fully grasped this concept yet.
FAVORITE FOODS?
No. I just.... This will turn into a post within a post. In the futures I'll do a favorite foods survey, but no here.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?
Both have their place! As long as the vanilla is real and not artificial.
STORMS – COOL OR SCARY?
Neither. They are awesome, as in awe-inspiring, as the word was intended to be used. See the Eddie Izzard sketch:

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
2001 Honda Civic, and it's still going.

Gemini. *shrugs*

Hell YES. Mmmm, broccoli.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I don't know what job I want, and this is a current predicament.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I think dark green would be cool, but not practical in any way.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?
Yes.
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?
It's always full, it's full of air and water!
FAVORITE MOVIES:
Not again. No. Don't make me chooooose! Oh, alright:
When Harry Met Sally
The avengers
Iron Man 1 & 2
The Waitress
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? Somewhat, my pinkies don't reach some keys well (tiny haaaands *jazz fingers*), so my ring fingers pull double time.
WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BED?
Things that will not fit in my teeny closet and out of season clothing.
FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH?
Baseball? I mean, if you go to a live game there's usually beer and hot dogs and that's a win in my book. Golf is also very zen.
IF YOU COULD BE ONE FRUIT, ONE ANIMAL, AND ONE POSSESSION OF YOURS, WHAT
WOULD YOU BE ? What the hell?
