How far from your last home do you live? Why did you move and are you glad you did? 
Submitted by Matthew 25.

Thousands of miles away.  A border away.  I moved for love...haha.  Very cheesy.  Plus I love the weather in Arizona.  No more constant rain and endless days of carrying the umbrella in my purse.

I'm glad I 'moved'.  Love, love love it!

What's your favorite thing to drink when it's cold outside?

Dark hot chocolate from Blendz (a Canadian chain).  I feel so deprived (of it) right now.

In your ultimate dream house, what does your favorite room look like?

Spacious, wall to ceiling glass windows, high-tech blinds that can make the room to complete darkness in a click....haha!  Clean design.  High ceiling.  Lots of space.  Has a cute dresser.  Comfy sofa.  Fireplace.  Faces the ocean.  Hidden bookcase so it doesn't clutter.  A moderately-sized Chihuly sculpture as an accent piece of the room.  Big bathtub with custom designed, built-in votive candle holders.  Fresh flowers.

Yes, I want a really big room.  :D

How do you pass the time during a flight?  What do you bring in your carry-on?

I write.  I draw.  I play games.  I listen to music.  I write drafts of e-mails to friends to send the next time I get Internet connection.  I type drafts of blog posts.  I take random pictures, which sometimes creep out people beside me.  I play my DS.  I read.  I read.  I fidget.  It's not that I'm afraid of flying...it's just that, I NEED to do things.  I can't just sit there!

I bring lots of things to keep me entertained because I get bored easily, even on 3-hour flights.  I have my Moleskine lined journal, Moleskine sketchbook, fountain pen, Pilot G-Tech C4, Nintendo DS w/ 3 games (Brain Age, New Mario Bros, and Animal Crossing WW), ipod, macbook pro, at least 2-3 magazines (usually the current New Yorker, Mental Floss, HOW Design magazine, Wallpaper), a literary book, a tech book, and my digital camera.

YES, it takes a LOT to entertain me and my carry-on is heavy with all these shits.  :p
