So do I, but it did take some getting used to, but now I can't listen at normal speed it seems so slow, but if somebody has a heavy accent I have to go down to 1.25, But seriously some people listen at 3x ...

Daenerys TargaryenYou were shy as a youngster, but have grown up strong and noble. The years have taught your discipline and patience with people. You know to think first and act later and you only trust those who prove themselves worthy. You're a leader and someone others look to in dark times.
Arya StarkYou grew up amongst tragedy, but it's made you stronger and you never forget. Grudges can be immensely satisfying to overcome. You make friends easily and are imminently sociable. But you family comes first and you'll do anything to be with them.

Football? Whats football???
My daughter and I will be watching Netflix
You should be quiet or you might get kicked out of the state of Texas :-)
I know, these people are crazy big in football. They start teaching their sons how to play as soon as they come out of the womb.
My kids are all named after quarterbacks, so I do like to watch, I'm not obsessed though :-)
Bran StarkResilient and stronger than you look, you've always done things your own way. You listen to that voice in your head that tells you what to do and it's worked out so far. Despite some setbacks, you've done well in life and want to continue doing so.
I'm invading your party :-)Jon Snow
You've never really fit in, so you've carved out your own life story and become a true leader. You're fair and honest, passionate and altruistic. You have a connection to nature and love the outdoors. People look to you for the right thing to do. Your moral compass is sound.
Welcome to the Party, Venecia! We like to have visitors :)
Ugh, it's Monday again. I really don't wanna... And the countdown to Friday begins!

Hand 1 & 2 are complete! 3 & 4 are working on it and we have a few scattered around. I'm trying to fill in some of the harder ones first... we can always move things around if needed. If you want to take a look ( I wouldn't mind a spot check either)

Erg that was probably me, I'm so used to adding books to shelves when I begin the book I totally forget to when I end, it is a habit I am not in, so seriously you're going to need to remind me all game, sorry I just know myself ;-)

FlikYou may be a little clumsy and tend to make mistakes but in the end you will redeem yourself in a spectacular way.
I'm Woody!
You would make a great leader but you need to stop being so pessimistic and start enjoying life.

If anyone chooses to read this book, beware. Tears will come and the metaphors do not end. (Did anyone expect it to, though? Even the title is a metaphor.)
