Enjoy! =)
Who are you? - I'm "carn" though I've recently started going by "Jadewik" or "Jade". I also have a RP character named Ebon-Ashe. I bleed Titan... I led Clan Titan for 4-or-so years from 2001 to... whenever it was I "retired".
What's your real name? - Katie... or is it? Muahaha!
Where were you born? - SLC, UT (I love acronyms)
What languages do you speak? - English, Spanglish, Bad English, Ob (hehehe), some sign language and some Mandarin Chinese.
Where do you live today? - S. Arizona, USA
What do you do for a living? - I work as a transportation design engineer in the public works department at a local engineering firm. I design roads, bike paths, medians, drainage structures, etc. I recently did the realignment for a road at the University.
What's your favorite sports team? - I used to have an answer for this... but I find it difficult to first choose a sport now-a-days... and also to choose a favourite team. My favourite sport is pole vault. I was actually the first female pole vaulter at my high school.
What are your hobbies? - I'd go through the list, but it's almost easier to say "everything". To name a few things though... I draw, play the piano, play sports, bake, sew, bike, scrapbook, read, write, build things... etc.
What don't you like? - I have a zero tolerance policy for stupidity. It drives me nuts. I also hate being told what to do-- especially by someone younger (bosses excepted). I don't like bratty kids... but they're more a product of poor parenting, so I guess I don't like stupid parents.... which goes back to that whole stupid people thing. I also hate double standards... which covers a broad array of stupid things (like racism).
What's your favorite place? - SanSouci Palace Gardens... I took this awesome photo of the gardens when I was there in '97. It always makes me happy to look at that photo.
What's your favourite movie? - The Shawshank Redemption-- hands down. I also like Ever After and Stardust.
Why do you spell "favourite" with "ou"? If you don't, why not? - I had an Irish pen-pal when I was 12 who kept ragging on me about leaving the u out of colour. His persistence paid off and it stuck.
What do you miss most? - I miss pole vaulting and high jumping... =(
Where do you imagine you will be in 10 years from today? - At work, I hope. I regret to say I'll probably be tied down with some kids... but I'm excited to hope I'll have a house of my own by then.
What's your favourite colour? - A crimson shade of red. I love dark red. it's the colour of passion-- love and hate. I like the duality of the colour the most.
How old are you? - As of today, I'm 27.77 years old.
Best drink in the world? - I have several favourites... Dr. Pepper, mint chocolate hot cocoa, and this apple concentrate mix I bought in Danmark (I forget what it's called!) I absolutely loathe water... why? because it doesn't taste like anything! =)
