Friday 5
From the fridayfiver:
1. Tea or coffee?
Both. I neither drink coffee nor tea as a daily ritual but do like them both and will crave particular things once in a while. Moroccan mint tea is one, love the ritual. I also like rosehip tea, fennel tea, caramel tea, different kinds of Boba, Thai Icetea, and iced red currant & berry tea. Or Frisian tea with milk and sugar but that's a fall & winter thing linked to Germany and doesn't work here in California. Coffee I will take with milk and sugar, or sugar substitute if it's more than a cup. American flavored coffees like hazelnut, amaretto, macadamia kona are nice, but I also like European-style coffee that's much stronger and not flavored. Iced coffee is a summer thing that I get obsessed about every so often just to drop it again when I'm tired of it. :)
2. Do you speak your mind?
I most definitely do whenever it's worth it, for a worthy cause, or if the person is worthy of receiving a piece of my mind for enlightenment - *grins. I generally do NOT pick fights though, I think that's really childish and just creates negativity. I can't stand people who are constantly ready to jump in aggression and I don't do well with cynics. Negativity creates negativity and drags you down. I hate when there's conflict in the air, it poisons the atmosphere. I'd rather live in peace and not be petty about stuff, thanks.
3. What is your escape?
Travel, books, films. Anything that stimulates the mind and makes the body and senses experience new things.
4. When is the last time you cried?
Yesterday. I can be a big softie even if it may not seem like it.
5. What are your bedtime rituals?
I'm not very ritualistic when it comes to daily life. I guess brushing teeth and hair qualifies? I must have a certain amount of pillows to sleep well. I usually have a gulp of water sometime before bed. And I used to have a Chapstick/Labello addiction which has been broken so I no longer need it on my lips to go to sleep.
