7 Answers to Questions About Me

1. What is your favorite song?
My favorite song? I really don't know. I had 'Jingle Bell Rock' on my mp3 for years, and never got tired of it. I'm also nuts about Disney songs. And Eurovision songs. But what makes a song special for me is the memory that I've attached to it. I have certain songs for when I was on vacation in Sweden, songs for a really hot summer and songs for when I started a new year of school and there was this cool guy in my class :-p When I hear them, they take me back. So yeah, I guess those are my favorite songs.

2. What is your favorite dessert?
Anything sweet. I like chocolate chip cookies, lemon sherbet and tiramisu. Yum!

3. What do you do when you're upset?
I vent to my mom. Or I grab my stuffed animal (yes, I still have him and we are both loyal to eachother) and watch a tv show that I've watched a billion times already and that I know the words to.

4. What is your favorite pet?
Rats! Really, stupid question to ask me.

5. Which do you prefer, white or whole wheat?
White, although some things taste better on whole wheat.

6. What is your biggest fear?
That my parents die before I'm ready to say goodbye (will I ever be?). I have so much to learn from them and I still really need them. I guess that's okay at 22. Or at any age for that matter. 

I also don't want my parrot to die, I've had nightmares about it (about my parents dying too). I know I'll have to experience losing him some time in the future because he has already reached the age of 42 and he gets grumpy when he misses his afternoon nap. 

I'm not so scared of dying myself, I just won't know it. I can't miss myself when I'm not there anymore, you know?

7. What is your attitude mostly?
Happy, shiny, loving pretty things and talking. ALOT.


10 Random Factoids About Me

1. My stuffed animal from my youth is a seal. I've named it Seabert, after a cartoon. He still sleeps in my bed (except when I have my boyfriend to cuddle with) and he smells best when he's freshly washed or when he has spent some time in the sun.

2. I once ate a bug. Not by accident. Give me a break, I was 2!

3. I once ate soap. Also not by accident. Same age. 

4. I cried when one of the fishies in our pond died from the heat. That was just a few weeks ago. 

5. Before I get in my car to drive somewhere, I have a little bit of a panic moment when I think of having to find a place to park. 

6. I love to watch movies and tv shows again and again and again. They make me feel comfortable and I like knowing all the words. 

7. Beautiful things have a way of hypnotizing me. There's this light art festival every year in a city near here. I went there on a date with a guy once and he kept having to pull my arm in order to get me back to reality. 

8. I have a hard time telling people what books, movies, music or games I like. I'm afraid they will judge me, I think they will define me by what I like when really my taste is so diverse that you can't fit it in a box. 

9. I have very thick hair and I get a lot of compliments. I do nothing except wash it and once every few months I have it cut. Also, I have some lighter strokes in my dark blond hair, and people, even one of my friends last monday, ask when I got it dyed. I've always had my own hair color. 

10. I have a thing about smells. I like to smell the fresh air, I can smell rain in it. Certain perfumes give me the idea of liking someone or not. I guess everybody has that to some degree, but for me it's really strong. I didn't like my Seabert when he didn't smell right, although usually that was my own fault for putting him in the fridge 'so he could eat fish'.
