Favorite color:  Deep turqoise green

Top 3 favorite movies/shows: All Creatures Great & Small (a cozy, funny TV series about a Yorkshire vet and his eccentric employer), A Furry Little Christmas (a really sweet movie about a family spending Christmas together), and While You Were Sleeping (a very sweet, relaxing movie about... hehe... a family spending Christmas together). Dear me, you can really tell what kinds of movies I like, can't you? Christmas, families, humor... Also, I'm not including documentaries, as I don't think they're technically movies, but I watched one or two that would definitely make it onto my "favorite thing you watched" list.

Favorite animal: Horses

Favorite food: Fideos (I'm not sure if they have another name in English? they're a type of pasta) They're shaped like very short, thin pieces of spaghetti, and you cook them with tomato sauce and it tastes amazing. Chicken with breadcrumbs is also high on the list.

Top 3 favorite songs: El Cantar de Mio Cid, by Emiliano Valdeolivas. One of the most ancient pieces of writing in Spanish is the Cantar de Mio Cid, a medieval epic poem about Spain's national hero Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. Valdeolivas, a contemporary singer who's something of a modern wandering minstrel, put parts of it to music in the style of medieval Spanish music, and the result is one of the most powerful, captivatin7g songs I've heard. My other top two songs have varied wildly over the course of 2023, but at the moment they're "Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quero Tcha" by Marcelo Martins, and "Buy Dirt" by Jordan Davis. Hmm, looking at these three makes me realize how wildly varied my music taste is... oh well >:D

Favorite month: July

Top 3 favorite books:  No basta ser padre by Germán Dehesa, Julieta and the Romeos by Maria E. Andreu, and An Autobiography by Agatha Christie.

Top 3 favorite video games: I've never played any... but my favorite actual games were Settlers of Catan, Scotland Yard, and Othello.

Top 3 favorite characters from books, movies, or shows: Momo from Momo, Susan from Time at the Top, and ALL the characters from Magic or Not and The Well-Wishers by Edward Eager

Other favorites that I didn't list but you might want to add: n/a

Other:  I'm really glad you asked for the top 3 favorites in most of the categories, because I'm notoriously bad at choosing just one favorite >:)

it's funny how you said one of your favorite characters is Momo from Momo, and not an hour later, i posted about how my favorite food is momos. so, disclaimer: i was refering to the Tibetan dumpling type of momo, not the fictional character type XD
