Life isn't about finding yourself.

Seen with jessm78. I'm nearly 26 so there you go, pretty much the same as you, Jess. We act our age :)

You Act Like You Are 26 Years Old

You are a twenty-something at heart. You feel like an adult, and you're optimistic about life. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. You're still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up. The world is full of possibilities, and you can't wait to explore many of them.

Nicked from agent_almeida

The BBC allegedly believes most people will have only read 6 of these 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up? Bold those books you've read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.

( book list here )

I booked my flight to Stuttgart for June 17th (because it's faster than a train and about the same price and it'll be my test run for the luggage). On June 18th we'll fly to Rhodos, at 5 a.m. from Frankfurt - so we'll be leaving at about 1 a.m. which essentially means we'll get no sleep unless on the Taxi ride or the plane. We'll see.
Amazon still hasn't sent the new credit card - they have about 16 days to go as the old one is only valid until the 31st. So far nobody used mine anywhere :)

Now on to the interview meme - snagged from both astrum_presul and agent_almeida at about the same time :)

1. Leave me a comment saying, 'interview me'.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions. (You must do this, even if it's filtered for my eyes only!)
4. Include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

astrum_presul wanted to know about: ( these )

agent_almeida wanted to know about: ( these )

I was tagged by astrum_presul AND agent_almeida so I better get to it :)

1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write 6 random/quirky things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.

Six random things about me: Beware - I'm weird and long-winded !

1. I'm insanely curious...as in 'like a little child' curious. I randomly ask questions about where a name comes from, why certain food/(mixed) drinks or a frying pan work the way they do or behave the way they do. Everything really. Don't give me lemonade and sugar because I might test what kind of reactions you'll get by combining them (I already did that with my big brother, he's like me ;P). Google and Wikipedia are my best internet friends - besides my f-list maybe.

2. I'm a Math nerd. I love everything to do with the subject and if you give me a task I won't stop until I finish it.

3. I can't sit still and do nothing - a.k.a. Yoga or Tai Chi. Tried both and failed miserably. It's hard enough not to move or move slowly but to not THINK about anything is impossible. If you put me in a room with nothing to do I'll start counting anything in sight - tiles, flowers etc. - and match the number to the number of syllables of a song in my head. I know the number of tiles on our kitchen walls and that it's the same as the first line of Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis :D

4. I hate silence unless I read a book. During any other time I prefer to have some music as background noise; even for studying although it'll be some classical music because there's no lyrics I can sing along with so it's easier to tune out.

5. I'm a very tactile person. I like to hug and be hugged but it takes me a day or so to warm up to people. I don't just hug anybody.

6. I'm no girly girl at all. I don't like putting on make up (rarely do it - don't have much practise that way) and dressing up for something as simple as uni classes. Whenever I saw one of those dolled up people at uni I wondered how long it took her to get that made up. And I still don't understand why she'd need a scarf in winter while her jacket is so short I could see the girl's belly button. And don't get me started on those high heeled boots. I think she was just there to find a guy which isn't difficult when you have 300 computer science students and 10 of them are girls, me included. They noticed ME and I didn't have to dress up :)

I'll tag anyone who reads this and hasn't done it before :P

Blatantly copied from drgemini . As you'll see I don't watch many older movies (to me that's anything before the 90s) and I love comedies, romance, action, fantasy and some drama. Most of those are dramas so don't expect too much :)

Below is Entertainment Weekly's list of the top 100 movies of the last 25 years. Go through their list, bold the ones you have seen and underline the ones you own on video or DVD. ( enter the cinema )

can you name in 5 minutes? I could name a whole lot more (at least 30) - just not in English *g* and not if I need three tries to write Luxembourg or Colombia correctly or half of my other named countries.

Snagged from jessm78 :


( Here we go... )

Blatantly stolen from jessm78, but I told her so it should be OK, right ? *blinks innocently*

IF YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 36 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine ... You're on my list, so I want to know you better!

BE HONEST! COPY FROM HERE THEN SEND DIRECTLY TO ME IN A COMMENT THEN, REPOST THE EMPTY QUESTIONS.
( Follow me and you're screened )

This is supposed to be helpful when talking to people. Instead of just telling your friends what you like, tell them what you hate as well. So name your likes and dislikes and maybe even why you chose them, so everyone can avoid bringing up certain topics around you altogether. Some are easy, some harder. Have fun :)

1. first thing that comes to mind when thinking about like / dislike
2. song / band / singer / music in general
3. movie / TV show
4. food
5. article of clothing
6. book
7. colour
8. work
9. place to go for the holidays
10. something ordinary / out of your everyday life / interesting about yourself


My answers are under the cut - beware of the novel length and potentially bad grammar - it's late and I don't want to reread it - again ! *g*
