May 20th is my younger brother's birthday, and I see that this board in particular suddenly gained a crazy amount of life, so why not? Yolo, as the young'uns would say.

^ ~~Famous last words, right here...~~

Have a burning question that you're dying to ask me (within certain boundaries, of course)? Feel free to shoot 'em at me right here! I might not respond immediately, but owl be certain *slapped for that pun* to get back to your query as soon as I can. Have fun!

Ironically, May 21st is my younger brother's birthday! LOL!

Funnily enough, lullaby music. I have this distinct memory of the most carefree part of my life being filled with serene, orchestral music serenading my ears.

But for a more standard answer, the Season 1 Pokémon theme. So catchy, so much nostalgia.

Reading! I love reading! I'm a bookworm, a bookworm I am!

Besides the obvious cop-out of LBT, Lilo & Stitch is one of my favorite Disney films.

Preferably a cooler climate. I enjoyed being in the highlands one.

I really enjoyed Agatha Christie's mystery novels.

Apologies for the horribly late replies! I literally got dragged into a forced overtime to cover my work unit for two consecutive audits over the past weeks. It was... not pleasant.

Hopefully now that I'm finally free from that whole fiasco I should have more time on my hands.

I'm a very punctual person, so someone being late in a group meetup is my personal pet peeve.

I do play games, but not as much as when I was young, and I've never been good at online gaming... heck, I don't have a Steam account, much to my colleagues' chagrin when they tried to drag me into a MOBA session. Anyway, my favorite games in general are the Kirby main series games, as a matter of fact — it's one of the few platformers I don't completely suck at.

Pineapple on pizza. Think that counts.

Enraptured. 9/10

Nope, nope, nope! I'm the opposite of brave! It's why I identify so much with Petrie to begin with.

That being said, I think the bravest thing I've done is be an emcee at a major event. My voice was broadcasted via the microphone to a whole lot of people.

I usually suppress them. It's a bit unhealthy, I'm aware, but I can take a surprising amount of nonsense before snapping.
