I'll try mine, here's 10 random facts about me:
1. I'm 17 years old and still can't park a car right (sad, really...)
2. I like to eat, this ranges from pasta to kue putu, kue bantal, es selendang mayang and such. Even thinking about is makes me hungry... hahaha~
3. I like the smell of books, old and new, they're refreshing somehow. I absolutely hate it when someone ruins (includes folding or writing on, etc) my book, oh, and I dislike it when people look when I'm reading a book, it's kind of disturbing...
4. I hardly do anything with consistency, but reading seems to be an exception :D
5. I tend to do random and really weird things when I'm frustrated, like scream or sing or even dance, everything, basically that's totally random. (this is embarrassing..)
6. I'm told that I'm good at speaking and my grammar's good, but I don't know a thing about its technicality.
7. I'm still thinking whether I like Poirot or not, but Sherlock is definitely to my liking.
8. I like reading novels, but I'm a manga otaku as well~ hahahaha
9. I like classical music and play the piano (I'm running out of ideas..)
10. I wanna go to Europe one day, and Japan and China too, I prefer going places that has historical value... (unfortunately, my friends regard this as awkward -__-)

High five to another HIMYM & TBBT lover :D Ooooo I lo..."
HIMYM fan too~ wow, there's a lot here....

I wonder if there's a TV-series tie in book for HIMYM. Maybe it won't be funny like the series.

1. I love almost kinds of genre but the ones that draw my attention the most are history and military. Hence my nickname in GRI is Jendril. And I would showcase my collection in the next Indonesian Readers Festival, so don't forget to visit my stand ya *LOL
2. I love TV series. An addict. I love UK series such as Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Sherlock, Being Human, Have I Got News For You...and also American ones like Game of Thrones, Once Upon A Time, Glee, The Big Bang Theory, Mad Men, Homeland and many more.
3. I hate kids and can't understand why there's some kind of "obligation" that you have to love kids and babies and so on or people would frown at you.
4. I can't multitask. Really, I suck at it.
5. I'm an Android fan girl. I hate Blackberry and can't understand why Indonesians love it so much and put pressure on others to have it. (X: "What's your PIN?" Me: "I don't use BB" X:"Seriously? Ga gaul ah". Got that a lot)
6. I love food and certainly not picky about it (hence the fat haha)
7. I love travelling and planning to visit most of Indonesia's gems before spending my money abroad. My ultimate dream is Banda Naira.
8. I just quit using Facebook because I hate the fact that they are forcing changes and features to their users, e.g. Timeline.
9. I want to learn French and Spanish. And also Sindarin and Dothraki hahaha
10. I love Manchester United and Ryan Giggs is my fave player. Old Trafford would be my first non Southeast Asia destination. Wish me luck! :D

Hi-five Sil, I've declared myself as bb hater for years and people still waiting when I got myself a bb. I just bought android recently and it helped to shut their mouth, lol

Hi five, Sil, for quitting facebook. I got tired of many complaints and those kinds of things in fb.
By the way, I plan to buy me an android cellphone, but after making my books a 'home'. They are getting homeless these days. LOL

Blackberry? I use BB. I like it. The only thing I don't like about it is people's reaction when I told them I don't share my PIN - or if they somehow made it to my BBM contacts list and I ignore their unimportant messages. I have to admit though, the one I have is the best phone I've had in a long time.
Oh, Old Trafford's glorious! The first time I was there, I was speechless and I'm not even a United fan - Liverpool through and through :D

Kindly regret to inform you that our present company policy would prefer Quenya to Sindarin since our present Board of Director are ardent believer of Orome and have mild distrust to those who had not seen the Light of Valinor.
As for your fluent Dothraki, both speaking and writing (according to your CV, you had won Gold Medal for Vaes Dothrak National Debate Competition, conducted in Dothraki), we regret to inform you that our present Board of Director are slightly more distrustful to horse-riding-savages who are afraid of sea and prone to seasickness.
Thus, we hope you can make useful of your language skill in another workplace and we wish you good luck for your future endeavor.
Best Regards

Anyway, i'm a BB user, and it helps me a lot, especially for sending e-mail and discussing via bb-messenger. But recently i'm considering to buy another device, maybe android.
And for quitting facebook, i couldn't agree more, since there are so many 4LaY lol. I'm more comfortable with twitter right now. I tweet a lot :D
Why no love for Parks & Recreation? This show is the best comedy as of right now. For those who have not seen it, watch it. now. You won't be disappointed (Season 1 is so - so, but season 2 and so forth ... PURE GEM)
I'm thinking of starting Downtown Abbey. Got the first ep already in my laptop. Just trying to find the right time to watch it.
I haven't quit facebook, though I might aswell have since I hardly use it. Goodreads, twitter and tumblr are the only social networking sites I need.
Oh fellow tweeters, let's follow follow :p

I love Parks and Recreation *and I can't believe I don't mention this series in my first post* ! Leslie Knope is my role model. Leslie Knope for Pawnee City Council. And Ron Swanson is my favorite :)
Watch it now, Reza! It's soooo good. I used to be a fan of the Office, but the show has gone downhill ... don't you think? Now I just stick to Parks and Rec. One of the best things about Parks and Rec is that all of the characters are lovable. There is no one I hate.
Leslie Knope is uh-maz-ing! I love them all :)

Your Twitter acc username reminds me of that chocolate from my childhood, miss it!

2. My favorite author is Philip. K. Dick and my second favorite is Aldous Huxley. And I enjoy mostly post-modernism novels.
2. I love reading but equally love playing video games. Some video games, although very few of them, have good storyline and plots, and sometimes philosophical. Like the game Xenogears, i believe the story writer of the game influenced by 2001: Space Odyssey and other sci-fi novels.
3. I love listening music and had quite extensive music taste. I collects LP records but I'm not dj-ing. The LP's just for listening. I prever LP than CD
4. I like to smoke some pot and take benzo occasionally lol dont tell the police. Hmmm maybe that's why I like Huxley and Philip. K. Dick so much; they're both heavy drug addicts and that's clearly shows in their queer and bizarre imagination shown in their works. I admire them because though they're heavy drug users, they're very literate (duh they're writers).
5. I love shopping a lot but only for buying imported books and LP records lol
6. I love internet memes
7. I occasionally trolling in yahoo answer lol
8. I read very little of Indonesian books but I admire Pram's works. Some Indonesian novels are not make sense to me. Like, a male author but write a stream of consciousness novel with female as the main protagonist. Well, how on earth that male can have insight understanding of females mind? Males can read as many feminism essays and books as they can but obviously that's not enough to have the insight understanding of woman's logic and reasoning. But don't get me wrong, I love indonesian books and there's a lot of brilliant Indonesian writers available like Andre Hirata, Dee, Maggie TioJakin, etc... But some other are just let me down.
9. I'm slow reader. That's the reason why I read page-turer YA ficton quite a lot, though my main interest is to sci-fi, post-modern lit, and dystopian
10. I daydream a lot and my friends often laugh at me when they see me warped up in my Imagination.
sorry for the long lists. I hope you guys not like, "too long didn't read" :D

And here goes my random 10 facts.
1. Obsessed with ebooks. As in, literally and figuratively obsessed, especially after I got my kindle. I couldn't stop downloading more and more ebooks.
2. Have difficulties on reading translated works, somehow I always switch to English when reading a translated work. xD
3. Emoticon abuser. :x See. :x
4. Marathoned HIMYM season 4-7 in a week and watch them over and over again until "accidentally" memorized most of the dialogues and able to point out the episode's name, number, and what they'll say when watching on TV.
5. True Blood was my guilty pleasure. (I'll wait until season 5 is out and complete and it'll be my guilty pleasure again xD)
6. Very competitive and hard to admit defeat. (I believe it's something called "Pride".)
7. Watch lots of police procedural/crime shows and in love with CSI series but never ever like CSI: Miami.
8. Think that library is the sexiest place on earth.
