ScreenName: LexiconAficionado Real Name: It’s a mouthful, do you really want to know? LOL. Noor would have to suffice. Does your screen name mean something? What? Why yes, it surely does. Firstly, I’m not affiliated with any other Twilight site. ;D Lexicon Aficionado is an ardent fan or devotee (aficionado) of the vocabulary of a particular language (lexicon). Said language here would be English naturally. LOL. Basically I’m a nerd and an enthusiastic bookworm. Date you joined TA: I’m a little embarrassed to say this but 27 January 2009 Where do you live in the world?: The sunny Island of Singapore with the erratic weather these days. That’s in South East Asia, by the way. Age: 34 Favorite Color: Oooh I love all colours generally but am very partial to blue, green and brown Favorite Animal: Oh, they are all so gorgeous, except snakes, yucks! I guess I’d have to say cat or anything feline. I’m a Leo and born in the Chinese zodiac year of the tiger, no wonder. Favorite Ice Cream flavor: Oooh chocolate chocolate chocolate! Fudge in between would be a bonus! Favorite Place in the world: Too many to name! Since English is my first love, I love the UK especially its rich history but am very partial to the pacific north west of the US. No no, this is before Forks came onto my radar. I’ve been in love with Seattle and Washington state for a while now since my favourite author, Jayne Ann Krentz often describes it so well. Favorite Hobby: Reading definitely! I did mention I’m a bookworm right? Nothing better than to escape into wonderful worlds of fiction especially when wonderful authors like Stephenie Meyer weave such amazing and captivating tales! Great tunes to accompany this escape would be a great day for me! LOL Thing that annoys you the most: Ermm.. tough one. I’d say sheer laziness to the point of not making an effort to better oneself BUT with a great propensity to whine and moan about one’s lot in life. Get over yourself dude and work for it like everyone else! What are you good at?: Hmm… Jane of all trades and mistress of none and trying to improve myself all the time. However, maybe words would be my forte and my definite cuppa tea. Random Fact about you: Hmm.. nothing really interesting worth mentioning. I do have a habit of picking up random facts here and there. . My mind is like a sponge when it comes to things that I don’t have to study for. I have been called a walking database and can often remember names of the kids I work with; who their parents are; where they come from; which class they are in; how many siblings they have and who they are; if they are naughty or nice, etc etc. Hey I’m like Santa! Oh did I mention that I deal with almost 1400 kids? I always think of them as the children of my heart! When they are not irking me that is. What’s the last NON Twilight book you read?: Hmm… I read so many books and have one at any given moment that sometimes I can’t remember what I last read.;) Hmm.. I think it was Oceans of Fire by Christine Feehan. What’s the last movie you saw?: Knowing with Nicholas Cage. It was very… interestingly different! Although I dunno what I was thinking going to watch such a suspenseful movie by myself at the cinema! Favorite Twilight Saga Book: I love them all but Breaking Dawn definitely has a special spot in my heart. Favorite Twilight Character: The one and only Edward Cullen naturally Favorite Quote: Too many but I think this is the most touching: “Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.” - New Moon, Chapter 23, The Truth Team?: Team Cullen definitely! Isn’t that obvious enough? What do you like the most about TA?: Aah.. what can be said about this wonderful site that has not already been said. Besides being a font of information on anything related to the series, I am impressed and awed at the level of camaraderie evident among the members despite differences in age, genders and backgrounds. I do think that it’s the wonderful group of moderators that help this along. I have been on sites where one gets insulted left, right and centre just for being different or having a different point of view, that coming to one where everyone gets along fabulously is such a refreshing change. Have you gotten anyone to read the books? Who?: LOL. Some of my colleagues at work. Only two or three although surprisingly I keep finding out that others have also read it but none as passionate about it as me. Have you gotten anyone to join TA?: Yeh only one but she hardly come on here. Doggone it!
