  1. I have actually never thought of naming my devices which is kind of hilarious because, while I don't name my gadgets, I do name my cars.  My Ford Explorer is Sakura and my Ford Escape is Smaug.   There are actual stickers on both vehicles of their names.  My favorite car was my little GeoStorm and she was Sally Shock.  


  2. I love so many books but for once I actually have an answer for this that is just one.  My absolute favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas.  I started reading Dumas when my French teacher did a lesson on him.  She would lend me books and then gave me versions of the books in French so I could practice reading in French.  


  3. I have always loved games but as I have gotten older I have noticed that what games used to mean to me have changed.  When I was growing up, games were all about competition for me.  I enjoyed being the best and if I lost to someone I had to play again until I finally beat them. 

     

    While I still like the competition in games now, I don't enjoy it as much so I now tend to play games more as a way to continue to exercise my mind and as a way to relax after a long day.  Games are great at teaching strategy and improving your reasoning by making you think.  I also enjoy playing games with my family which is how I am able to relax now. Now, it isn't about me having to win but more about me enjoying those moments with my family. 

     

    As to playing the same games over and over again, I like to play games that make me happy so if it's not broke don't fix it.  Also, playing the same games over and over again gives me plenty of time to improve and learn better strategies.  No matter how many times I play a game, I always learn something new.
