Name: DarkRegrets and I also go as DarkSolace.
Age: In my late twenties.
Favorite Colors: Red, Pink, Mint;
Meaning behind your username: It comes from my time on neopets and my...well...emo (?) phase that went along with it in high school! One of my neopets usernames was darkfairy something-or-other, and I tagged it onto regrets because I did have many at the time. I think it was fairly applicable to my uncertainty about leaving behind high school and going into university, leaving behind many so-called "friends"; it stuck as I progressed a year or two. "Solace" only replaced "Regrets" a few more years down the line when I was heading away from my regrets and finding solace in my hobbies - but also in finding out who I am and what I want out of life. And here we are now.
Favorite music: I like a little bit of everything, but mainly classical music, rock, pop, and I like to listen to epic orchestra and/or opera music when I write (Two Steps from Hell are fantastic!). I also enjoy soundtracks from movies (like from Inception and Lord of the Rings) and several from anime (Death Note and Escaflowne, for example).

HOBBIES/INTERESTS:
I obviously love to listen to music, I doodle once in a while, and I dabble in painting and customizing my dolls (and making things for them - like dioramas, jewellery, and props). I love needle felting. I enjoy photography, especially when I travel; I also enjoy photographing my dolls. I love reading, and I enjoy learning new languages (I speak fluent Polish and English, and have a good grasp of ancient Latin. I am currently working on learning Japanese!). I love traveling and have been to many countries in North and South America, Europe, and Eastern Asia. I look forward to exploring many more countries, but so far my favorite places are as follow: Krakow, Poland; Tokyo, Japan; Vienna, Austria; Rome, Italy; Boston and NYC, USA. Last but certainly not least, I love writing stories! My main focus is fantasy and science fiction, but also historical fiction.
