Felt like re-writing this after four years in order to compare how much I have changed and this is the result. You can find the previous list here.
- I am a crazy cat lover who has asthmatic reactions when coming in contact with cats for even a few minutes
- I majored in computer science so that I could make my own games as a Muslim developer - because having played Assassin’s Creed, I was disappointed that it borrowed ideas from our Muslim heritage while not making the main character Muslim
- I have an interest in teaching and learning through the game model
- I have recently become interested in Minecraft because of it’s potential to encourage learning code and languages
- I love my alone time. It is especially important to me as I get older as I have very little of it and it’s the only time when I can explore my own interests
- I recently realised that I have developed a fixed mindset when it comes to creativity and creating. I am afraid of failing. However, I am working on shifting to a growth mindset
- It is extremely difficult for me to find motivation nowadays as I am either too exhausted to think, or too disorganised
- I want to open my own cat shelter one day, however, it seems very unlikely I ever will if I continue having reactions towards them
- Problem solving has become a habit for me - in fact if you complain to me, I will start problem solving all your complaints and will provide solutions
- I have become an expert at making origami paper plates
- I am one of those crazy people who run in an Abayah at the walkways
- I have become more quiet and reserved as an adult
- I dislike talking online, or through any virtual method of communication - I prefer talking to people face to face
- I hate social media, especially Facebook - the only reason I have not deleted my account altogether is because it is the only way I can keep in touch with certain friends and family
- I prefer my MAC over my PC for everyday use
- I believe in neutering your house cat as it prevents potential animal abuse on the cat itself and it’s future babies :( Especially since you cannot physically take care of all it's children.
- My family means a lot to me, in fact, I cannot imagine living far away from them
- I am 23 years old and I still own a stuffed seal and penguin which sit on my bed and which I occasionally talk to
- I like to feel like I am in control of my life, and that I am not being forced into doing anything by anyone
- I have severe OCD when it comes to hygiene
- I cannot watch or play anything unless I feel like it is worth my time - it also has to be clean (ie nothing rated R)
- I believe street cats deserve love and attention just as much as any other cat
- I prefer reading children books over adult books
- I will never get tired of watching Lord of the Rings: the cinematography is amazingly done
- I want to travel to Japan and Korea and eat Ramen at one of those halal certified local stores
