Time for my favorite question...

I've always loved Lavender. To me it smells sweet like a sweet smelling flower but also with a hint of fruit like a blueberry but it still has a strong forest like smell to it. I think it's a smell that you have to acquire a like for, like coffee.

I also love the smell of coffee, always have.
 
What is your favorite season in the year?
Summer!

I love the heat. I love humidity. I love green.

I really enjoy cycling and I don't like to do it when it's cold. Warm shorts weather is my kind of season.

BUT, biting bugs love me. That's the only drawback about it all.
 
I know what you like to write, but what kind of things do you like to read?
I don't read a lot anymore. Mainly, it's a time thing.

I also skim-read a lot which is a bad habit to get into.

But I do read morning newsletters. I have a few favorites, mostly around digital marketing and foreign intelligence/security topics.

I have a full library of books that I read for reference. Every book on forums, blogging, digital marketing, SEO, hiking, cycling, counterintelligence/homeland security, and business is something I almost own exclusively.

I do like reading but mainly listening to a good creepypasta story as long as it's not really gory.
 
How did that happen?
It was odd.

I jumped off the bleachers in gym but not very far.

It didn't start hurting until I got off the bus several hours later. I limped all the way to my door. I was on crutches the next day.

I was about 11 or 12 at that time.
 
Awww~! I'm one of those people that finds snakes freaking adorable, so I approve very much. :)
What was your favorite toy as a child?

I'm a snake advocate. I even like venomous snakes. Snakes get a bad reputation and they're far less worse than animals we tend to domesticate. I'll always be a snake defender. :cool:

Hotwheels cars! I love those little cars. I'd play in an imaginary world with them for hours and hours.
 
I see! Do you have a favorite literary device? Like alliteration, metaphors, etc.?
