Hobbies & Interests: Pretty much everything. If it sounds interesting and won't kill me, I'll probably give it a try at least once. These days I enjoy singing, half-assed roleplaying, standing around like a bamf, hula-hooping, reading anything I can get my hands on, building bottle rockets, lounging around, avoiding my homework, running, talking with my friends, and listening to music.
Favorites
Color: Bright blue, grass green, white.
Movie: Mulan, The Lion King, Hercules.
Music: Anything upbeat and full of life. I love The Morning Of and Sing It Loud for those reasons. Classical music really appeals to me, too, and even though they're a little angsty, I enjoy listening to bands like Brand New because of the complexity of their music.
Novel: Waaay too many to list. Reading's always been my biggest hobby, and my list of favorite books stretches on and on. Off the top of my head I'd say Lirael, Artemis Fowl, and Good Omens.
Animal: Cheetah, bower bird, dog.
Fragrance/Scent: Cinnamon, geranium, clean laundry, pine needles.
Quotation/Lyric:
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
"Desiderata," by Max Ehrmann
