Working in the forest is remarkably fun. Not as fun piloting aircrafts. I'm a student pilot. Had to put my training on hold due to financial reasons.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

£120 - £150 per hour. Very expensive.
Not to mention the exams you have to pay for.

I have always been a big Akira Toriyama fan. I grew up with his work.
I had to look him up, sad I know, but Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z were in my childhood, so they definitely got me interested in manga and anime.
Also, you have a friend that is very Christian, what does that mean? And why wouldn't you trust what that friend says? Are they hypocritical?

I like archery a lot, in theory. I only did it once when I was a kid and it was really relaxing for me. I always hoped I could get back into it, but I haven't put the energy into it yet. I have so many things I want to do...wow, almost became a priest. From the photos of you hugging your kids, I think you'd be a good kindergarten teacher.

I crochet instead. I should have listed politics too, I'm just terrible with politics I feel like everyone has an angle. I just don't feel anyone can be trustworthy and be in the government at the same time.
My mother taught me when I was young, and any time I had to sew a costume for anything, I would haul out her machine.
Truth be told, I have so many interests and hobbies, your list couldn't contain me.  I also collect tarot decks. I have a burning curiosity about folklore and mythology and the occult as well.

By very christian, I mean he isn't mildly christian He takes it very seriously... But his parents are missionaries, so I feel sorry for him. They clearly indoctrinated him at a very young age.
I find all theists hypocritical.

That's a crane fly. Not a spider. Daddy Long Legs is a spider.
And they are one of the most inoffensive and harmless flying bug things ever. I love catching those and releasing them in the summer.

1. Two things people may not know about you.
My friends can't believe that I'm brilliant in keeping things tidy at work and my co-workers can't believe that my room has got barely any floor visible.
I'm still somewhat afraid of the dark. The only time I lose reason because of fear would be when I'm in a dark basement.
2. Two things you would love to do as a profession.
If I could do any job in the word and be brilliant at it, I would love to be a manga-ka or a neurosurgeon.
3. Two things that you wish you were interested in, but it's just not your cup of tea.
Hockey. I do enjoy to go watch the occasional game live, but I can't seem to live and breath hockey as most of my fellow Finns do.
Children. I can't stand socializing with poorly raised brats.
4. The worst insect to walk the earth.
I like insects. They are vital for many an ecosystem. 
5. Two hobbies.
Only two..? Come on! 
Well, two that can't be seen from my sigpic are aikido and scouting. I don't do them anymore, but I loved both.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
