I saw this tag over at Hope's blog and decided to do it. And I ended up giving some really long questions and started to talk about why I maybe don't want to get married and 9/11. I always fail at giving short answers. The weird thing is, that in real life I usually give only short answers. I'm not good at talking, I prefer to write...
1. high heels or boots? i love heels, but not to wear them. they usually don't go with my style. but i loooove to look at heels and try them in stores. and i'm not a boots fan. i don't know why. so my answer is probably neither ;)
2. what time did you get up this morning? i woke up at 9am and got out of bed at 10am.
3. what was the last movie you saw at the theater? conviction. and before that: eclipse. i go to the movie theater like once a year.
4. what is your maiden name? wait? i'm married?!
5. what is your favorite TV show? friends, twin peaks, the big bang theory, freaks and geeks, sabrina the teenage witch.
6. what do you usually have for breakfast? milk. bread. nutella. every day since i was 4 or something like that. (i ate nutella about 15 years before some teenagers decided that it's cool and before i saw it about five times a day on my tumblr dash.) it never changed and it will never change. NEVER.
7. what is your middle name? don't have one.
8. what food do you dislike? mushrooms.
9. what is your favorite CD at the moment? Live Through This by Hole, but i don't listen to it, because i don't own it and i'd have to listen to it on youtube or whatever and my laptop hates the internet and every page where you can watch videos or listen to music and that's why i get kicked out of the the internet about 10 times a day and then i have to restart the internet or restart my laptop and then i'd have to load all the videos at youtube again, which doesn't work, because i can always load one video at once since my laptop hates the internet and sometimes i have to restart the internet five times to load one youtube video. that's why i don't listen to my favorite album. and that's why i have to say that Celebrity Skin by Hole is my favorite. i'll get Live Through This for my birthday.
10. what characteristic do you despise? oh, there are some. i don't want make myself angry, so i better not think about it too much and just say "lying" (except sometimes when lying is (more or less) necessary)
11. favorite clothing? over the summer i wore shorts+tank top pretty much every day. love it. i wear it right now as well. and it's september 12th. stupid global warming messing around with the weather.
12. anywhere in the world on vacation? i'd love to go to the us. and i want to go to gb again. i'd like to go there at least once a year.
13. are you an organized person? are you kidding? sometimes i have a organized chaos, but most of the time not even that.
14. where would you retire to? no idea. it depends on many things. somewhere on this planet.
15. what was your most recent memorable birthday? don't know. they are all crap. nothing interesting ever happened at my birthday. they are like every other day except that i get some presents (i ordered myself from amazon), a cake and my favorite food for lunch. let's see what my 20th birthday will bring (not that i'm expecting anything).
16. what are you going to do when you finish this? probably eat lunch or take a nap or whatever comes to my mind.

19. when is your birthday? october 19th.
20. are you a morning person or a night person? night person.
21. what is your shoe size? 39. sometimes 38. i have no idea what's that in us sizes because i still don't get us sizes. they confuse me every time and i'm trying to figure out how they work for 2 years now!
22. do you own any animals? no.
23. any news you'd like to share? i started a new pschotherapy on friday. my new psychotherapist seems to be great. at least i feel like i can talk to her (not like the one i went in july, who reminded me of the psychotherapist in LOL. this would have never worked out...). i'll go there again on friday. we'll see...

28. if you were a crayon, what color would you be? a nice shade of green.
29. how is the weather right now? lots of clouds. about 80°F. quite nice. as i said, it's too warm. today school started again in styria. and i always had to wear jeans and cardigan the first back to school. and i'm sitting here in short shorts and a tank top. asdfghjkl. really, this is NOT normal.
30. last person you spoke to on the phone? can't remember. i think my mom. or my dad. there aren't any other options.
31. favorite drink? water.
32. favorite restaurant? vapiano.
33. hair color? brown.
34. what was your favorite toy as a child? i had a small pink stuffed rabbit which had a rattle in its head. i got it from my dad when i was one (or something like that). he bought it when he was in munich. and i carried this rabbit named 'mimi' around everywhere until i was 10 (or something like that).
35. spring, summer, fall, or winter? fall. best season ever followed by spring.
36. chocolate or vanilla? chocolate.
37. coffee or tea? um...um...herbal tea.
38. wish you were still young? i'd like to live my teenage years again (my teenage years are over in a bit more than a month) and live them a bit different. if my teenage years where made into a movie everyone who watched it would fall asleep. it would be a movie about me sitting in my room alone all the time.
39. do you want to get married? maybe. a few months ago i would have said yes, but there was a lot of mind changing going on in june and i also changed my mind a bit about the idea of getting married. also weddings are a scary thing for me, because they are extremely cheesy. when i got married people would expect me to wear a white dress, have nice hair and make-up and all these things. but that's not who i am. i don't like long white dresses (i don't feel comfortable wearing them, but i think a lot of people look stunning in them. for example my cousin's wife, who had an amazingly beautiful wedding dress...which I would never wear), i don't feel comfortable in nice hair and make-up and i don't like this whole ceremony thing and wedding traditions are freaking me out. so, if you want me to feel uncomfortable force me to get married. but, i like what getting married is about. i just don't like they way it's celebrated (i like to attend weddings, i just can't imagine it for me). when i (and my maybe-future-husband) figure out a way to get married without all these uncomfortable things, i definitely will get married. or maybe my mind changes again...i don't know.
40. when was the last time you cried? a week ago.
41. what is under your bed? dust.
42. what did you do last night? pretty much the same i do every night. spending my time on the internet. i felt lonely. and i got a bit annoyed by all the 9/11 stuff (too much is too much). and i thought i wouldn't say anything at all about 9/11, but then i read Maureen Johnson's story about 9/11 and it almost made me cry and i'm glad she wrote it even though she didn't want to share it in first place. after reading it i felt like i finally understand a bit more how the situation in NYC really was that day. i was nine years old when it happened and i really can't remember that day. i'm not even sure if i knew that something happened. it could be that i learned about it a year later. i've never been interested in following the news and my parents never talk about such things. so my parents definitely didn't tell me about 9/11. i don't have any personal thoughts or memories to that day. that's why i'm thankful for stories like Maureen's. it's really touching. Maureen lives in NYC and also lived there when 9/11 happened. take some time and read it (if you want...but i highly recommend it, no matter what your opinion on 9/11 is). click HERE to read it. thanks.
43. what are you afraid of? i don't know. people.
44. salty or sweet? usually sweet. i kinda like both.
45. best quality you have? can you ask someone else, please?
46. how many years at your current job? i don't have a job.
47. favorite day of the week? at the moment all days are the same. ask me again in a month when university has started.
48. favorite movie? there are a lot. Corpse Bride is definitely one of my favorite. a movie i'd like to watch every morning before breakfast.
49. have you ever had a crush on anyone? um...yeeeaah. i had a huge crush on a guy at school in 9th or 10th grade. no serious real life crushes since then. but some celebrity/model crushes.
50. do you like finding out all this stuff about your friends? sure. i'd love to. :)
Whoa! When did you get married?! (lol) hmm... now that I thin about it, none of my birthdays really stick out to me. I mean I've celebrated them, but not with anything that's wowed me enough to point to a specific one. =)
ReplyDeletei feel like such a crush slut. i have way too many, and most of them are old enough to be my father. yeah, i'm too weird.
ReplyDeletei'm so with you on the whole wedding thing. i want to have a very small, very simple ceremony outside. i can't stand the thought of having a huge traditional ceremony. gag me, no. :P
thanks for sharing maureen's story. this was the first year that i became annoyed with people over 9/11. it was hard not to message some people on tumblr and ask them what the hell was wrong with them since they weren't there and were only 4 or 5 when it happened, but were constantly posting horrific images.. i can't understand how they think that posting pictures of people dying and jumping from buildings to quicken their deaths honors them. i believe we shouldn't totally ignore such things, but we should have real respect for these people. but anyway, maureen's story was first hand, it was real and honest, no bullshit, and that is something i can really appreciate. (i hope i'm not coming across as being insensitive... this anniversary was very different for me.)
