Why do good girls like bad boys?: Even if not a completely serious question, I'd have to say subjectiveness! And/or movies and media. If you want to be historical about it (because I'm a little bit of a nerd), the idea of a 'bad boy' kinda traces back to a lot of cultural influences towards the 50s and 60s at the end of World War 2, where the idea of a 'teenage' life kinda started to blossom. Kids had rock music, and movies, and media that could allow them to ignore the rigours of 'adult' life for a lot longer. On that same vein, the idea of a teen idol or 'bad/good boys' were starting to become more popular, and a lot of teens latched onto that idea for the capacity of being a 'teen'.
Or at least I think that's what I recall from some history class or two.
Writing:
I always remember writing as a kid. Usually essays, papers, or small stories that any little kid would write. I was homeschooled as a kid, so writing was always really important for my mom and the curriculum I was doing. I actually hate writing in the academic sense, but it wasn't until I actually found my first forum roleplay, and sites like roblox, or even games like Lord of the Rings Online (I admit it), that I started branching out into "roleplay". I do think that I am a completely different person today because of roleplay. I think what drew me into it at first was the idea that I could be or play anything. I could write a story about a medicine cat with a bunch of different people, or I could have fun being in a real, live story about something totally ficticious and still have a lot of fun doing it. It sort of inspiried me just to become more creative and analytical about my writing, which has actually translated into more strength in college-level and academic writing. I think it's always been a sort of outlet for me which I've relied upon.

I LOVE. FOOD. I love all types of food. But if I had to choose a few favorites, I'd say pasta, followed by anything dessert related (especially with chocolate), and then maybe like crepes or french toast.
