dating.com survey. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Reine Elizabeth Weston

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I will be 25 in December. Do the math.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Across the Pond in good ol' London town. Camden, to be precise.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
Eat, drink, keep warm/cool (depending on the season)... Pardon my sarcasm, it's everywhere! I'm a student of life, or a Philosophy major. Take your pick. I also make things and sell them on the internets.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
Can I use "All the things" as an answer? Well, likely not since I don't like... murder people for fun, or at all. I love to do all kinds of things, though. I like to have adventures, try new things, and go exploring. Whether it's a new food truck, a museum, an abandoned mental hospital, the forest, etc. I love music and art as well, and can be well-entertained any place those things are located. But I also love staying in, especially on days when the weather is poorly. There's nothing like snuggling in bed with Netflix, a fluffy duvet, and hot chocolate when it's grey and cold and wet out!

WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU ENJOY?
I'm pretty bloody eclectic. It depends on my moods, really. I like to listen to 80's pop and rock when I wake up. But sometimes I'm into folk or world music, sometimes I love opera and musicals... other times I'm listening to metal, glam, punk, whatever. It is easier to say that I don't like country (bluegrass is different) or most modern rap. The stuff from the 80's and early 90's was pretty amazing, though!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?
The Godfather: Part II, hands down. No one gets between me and Pacino and De Niro.

DO YOU LIKE ANIMALS, OR HAVE PETS?
I love, love animals. I have two lovely little furbabies. Vito; he's my Golden Retriever, and Felix (the Cat).

ANY TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS?
Would have done, if I wasn't petrified of needles. However, I am often covered in pen as I tend to doodle on myself when bored.

DO YOU SMOKE OR DRINK?
I smoke weed, I'm not going to lie. But I'm far away from being a "Biodome"-level of stoner. It mellows me out, but makes it easier for me to be productive. I don't smoke cigarettes unless I am drunk, or extremely stressed... and then I smoke American Spirits. As far as drinking goes... well, I'm a Philosophy student: what do you think?

WHAT IS THE LAST BOOK THAT YOU READ?
War and Peace. Only, I'm joking there. However I did recently finish "Salt; A World History" by Mark Kurlansky. It's brill, and I typically detest non-fiction.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE QUOTE?
"From our deepest desires comes our deadliest hate." - Socrates.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION, AND WHY?
I have a fluffy grey elephant named Giraffe that I've had since I was three. He still sleeps with me (or sometimes under the bed if I have company).

IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY, WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD BUY?
Coconut Water so I can hydrate... it's going to be a long, and crazy, next few years!

IS THE CUP HALF EMPTY, OR HALF FULL?
It really depends on contexts such as: mood, and what is in the cup.

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT VACATION:
There is no such thing. Besides, I love to see new places... there are simply too many choices out there. However, I tend to prefer warm places. Morocco is going to happen within the next 2 years.

WHO WAS YOUR FIRST CRUSH?
Morrissey. My Mum and Dad, bless them, decided not to ruin my childhood dream with the truth about that man... for which I am eternally grateful. But simultaneously I was also crushing hard on Robin Hood... which film or story didn't matter. I was in love with the folk legend himself...and totally still am!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?
It's improbable. Highly so. Lust at first sight is all that lot is. Love is like growing a plant. There is a seed that needs loads of attention so that it grows and blossoms over time. Of course how much time it takes people to fall in love varies so much, as do the differing types of love.

WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL DATE?
One that wasn't an epic fail... seriously, I'm easy to please.

BIGGEST TURN ONS & OFFS?
Intelligence, the ability to hold a philosophical conversation, nice hands/eyes, being adventurous, open-minds, interesting quirks (I'm going for adorable here, not creepy), being able to keep up with me & not being weirded out by my general nature. Ignorance, bigotry/racism/sexism/etc, poor table manners, rudeness, people with no goals or drive, and other bollocks like that.

YOUR MOST ANNOYING HABIT?
I'm infamous for nicking t-shirts from people. I also have trouble sitting still for long periods of time (unless I'm high) and will habitually click and un-click pens or mechanical pencils... just to give my hands something to do.

WHEN WAS YOUR LAST RELATIONSHIP AND HOW LONG DID IT LAST?
I was in a poly-amourous relationship with my, now-former, roommates in New York. We dated for nearly 4 years, but in the end... it was too much work and I felt that I wasn't getting the same amount of attention as I was giving to them. I also just got tired of trying to juggle two people. Back to monogamy for me.

DO YOU WANT TO MARRY, OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MARRIED?
I would love to someday if I found the right person.

DO YOU WANT/HAVE CHILDREN?
Definitely! But only when the time is right, and hopefully with the right sodding person!

WHAT IS ONE THING THAT YOU WOULD WANT SOMEONE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I've been told that I can have an intense personality. I can't help that, and I'm not going to change it. I suppose it's intense because I am a completely open book, and not many are used to that. But with me? I'm what I say on the tin. I don't really hide things. That being said; I'm also the most laid-back bird that you lads will ever meet. I rarely get offended, and I'll answer most questions put before me.
