Silly pountchline, but I've been tagged by beloved Lenival, to say 10 things about me, and 10 things that may be surprising about me. I am a very open person, so it's unlikely that anything will be new but the point is to have fun.
So, 10 things about me, completely spontaneous, i promise.
1. I am a dog person. Cats are ok, but I will always prefer having a dog than a cat. And, just to clarify, those little Paris Hilton things are not dogs- they are rats with expensive coats and they make for fantastic door mats.
2. I have a complete obsession with left-handedness. Lefties, as well as other conditions that result from, or are at least related to, right brain hemispehre dominance- synaesthesia, possibly homosexuality, have the power to amuse me endlessly. I am currently left-handed. And one day I will find a left-handed partner, you'll see.
3. I am probably one of the 4 people in this world who prefer margarine to butter. It's marga-licious. No matter, being misunderstood is a sign of being a genious. :) Margarine rocks, it smells amazing, it's better for your cholesterol, and you don't have to wait 20 mins to warm up to be able to spread it.
4. Hyacinth is possibly my favourite flower. And I am not much about flowers but the smell of hyacinth is intoxicating.
5. I love olives. I have a whole "olive theory"- best couples are made of one person who loves them, and one who doesn't. Hugs for my "person", who's reading this and smiling. We're golden, darlin', aren't we?! :D
6. I have a tattoo on my lower back, of a tree, the roots of which spell out "sophia". It's awesome.
7. I have a very hard time, accepting being called "girlfriend". But when I do, you know I'm yours. At least for a bit ;)
8. Surprise, surprise- I am a city girl, and I probably always will be. I like the buzz of the city, that you can get lost in it, or just take a walk, the parks, the people (when there's not too many of them), the scenes, the trees, everything.
9. I pull off all-nighters for the purpose of sheer pleasure and emotional sanity. I think it's a habit resulting from the fact that i work best under pressure, so I tend to write assignments on the night(s) before they're due.
10. Last one, I better make it good...I am really a man! Ok, probably not in the same way you're thinking. But I can't wait for the World Cup to begin, sit with a cold beer in hand and scream agains the TV. I hate shopping and dieting, i don't want to get married, i'd rather swear, pick up girls, and watch football.
And here are a few things that may surprise all 3 of you who read it:
1.I am very down-to-earth. None of that artsy-fartsy indie music and arts. Most irritating thing, and i think many would agree- pseudo-intellectuals, like Duchamp and Warhol. And feminists.
2. I like rain. Summer rain. When everyone else is running home, but i walk slowly, smelling the rain, and the little bit of dust, when I am soaking wet... i can walk for hours under the rain.
3. I am an atheist who studies theology. And media.
4. I very rarely eat fish. I spent 3 years, off fish, but recently I started eating it, even if occasionally. Because of the penguins. Watch "Happy feet" and if tell me you didn't cry, you have a heart of stone.
5. On that note, i have much more sympathy for animals, than I do for humans. Humans are mean, stupid, lying and cheating, slick, cruel, ignorant and arrogant. Then again, I am sensitive to human emotions- i locate them often in the smallest situations, and when I see genuine kindless and love, especially from a stranger, I cry.
6. No, i am not one of the crazy, green, save-the-planet people. Don't they annoy us all, by being as selfless as most of us can never be?!
7. I've never broken anything. Not a bone. Yet.
8. I hate clubbing. As in going to clubs. Clubbing people, though, makes up for a fantastic thursday afternoon. And it's good cardio ;))
9. I play guitar, clarinet, saxophone and a bit of drums. Ok, i used* to play some of them. But left with an instrument for 2 days, and internet access, I'll play them again. The technique is still there.
10. I love blond-jokes! They are hillarious. Exactly because I am blond. Though, those who know me, know my hair colour is the least permanent part about me.
Ok, so that's that.... :)
Should you have any questions, comment.
