Truth or dare, yes I double dare you

I’m sick with an awful cold as of three days ago and I’m pretty zombie-fied and can’t focus, but feel like writing. So you all get a survey…actually…two, which I’ve stolen from the lovely and talented [Spooky].

[What’s one thing you have worked very hard to overcome?]: Hands down, my father. I’ve worked extremely hard to get over the negative things he put me through for 18 very long years.

[Name at least one in each category: A book, a movie and a musical group/musician you secretly, negatively judge others for not liking and/or not knowing about.]: I…can’t! In all honestly, I don’t really care if people like things I don’t like! I’m not the one that’s got to listen to/watch/read them.

[What made you believe or not believe in God?]: I was forced to go to Sunday School for 16 years so it’s kind of ingrained, but even throughout all of my soul searching and discovering new religions, I’ve never really doubted, so I do believe.

[Describe the most beautiful sight you’ve ever seen.]: I’m a photographer. I can’t! I’ve also worked with kids and animals, and there have been so many amazing moments that I can’t choose just one.

[Besides yourself, who do you love the most, and why do you love them?]: I love all of you!

[Who are your pets? Include pictures, if applicable. If you don’t have pets, what pets would you have if you had to have them?]: At the moment, I have a shetland sheepdog named Shelby:

I have an enclosed ecosystem with four brine shrimp named after the Golden Girls (Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia):

I have sea monkeys, which are insanely hard to photogaph:

I have a hamster named Draco:

And I have three mice all named after “Harry Potter” characters as well. This is Severus-mouse:

And these two are Albus-mouse and Harry-mouse (left to right):

[What separates you from people who have shittier lives than yours?]: Circumstance? Pure luck?

[What are the ingredients in your perfect salad?]: Lettuce, cucumbers, chick peas, shredded cheese and French dressing.

[Now share an upbeat song. Any song you like. Either a link or a video. It must be peppy.]
