Oh I enjoy you already, such great questions B]
1. Criminal Minds is my absolute favorite TV show, I discovered it about a year ago and I watch it all the time now. Well besides Nancy Grace on HLN (Headline News) and Dexter.
2. To be honest, I really find felines and canines somewhat... Overdone. You see them plastered everywhere on signatures and avatars. Which is fine, don't get me wrong, all my characters are felines LOL. But it's like walking into a new place and everyone is dressed the same. Sure, some people may have a extra scarf on or they have glowing red eyes, but besides that its all the same to me.
I decided to turn my focus to a species for my character/fursona that I would enjoy. I took a Asian Cat, Jacob's Sheep and created a chimera. I think there are other animals, but I need to make a complete ref.
3. Criminology was my second choice, I was going into Psychology. But I was told to look into a career in the FBI and decided on profiling. I'm already pretty decent at 'reading' people. Which doesn't amount to much, but might as well stick with my strengths.
I also chose Criminology because I want to help make the US safer. Simple as that.
