100 questions meme: Day 20 - 52

May 02, 2017 22:36

Catching up a bit with all these questions here. :-) Let's see how it goes... And if anyone has the stamina to read all of them through. X-D

20: what's your favorite eye color?
Tough questions. I like a lot of different eye colours. It’s so individual. But I do like green eyes. I really do. Probably because it’s so rare. When I was a kid I wanted to have green eyes. :-)

21: talk about your favorite bag, the one that's been to hell and back with you and that you love to pieces.
I’m not a handbag woman. I have handbags, but I don’t use them. (I probably should sell them off…) Reason? I have such a crooked hip, so when I use handbags and have too much in them my back and hips hurt. So that don’t work. Instead I wear a backpack. And the backpack I have at the time, it really goes to hell and back with me until it falls apart into little pieces. :-) The current one I have is a one of a kind backpack a woman on Etsy made. She’d gotten a black US army bag, and then decorated it with embroidery, colours, patchwork, and I don’t even know what. It’s SO nice! I LOVE IT!

22: are you a morning person?
Definitely not! I hate mornings! But even still I try to get up early in the mornings since I am SO SLOW in the mornings so I need all the time I can get. And since I have a hard time going to bed at night, this might be a bit of a problem. I usually only sleep 4-5 hours per night during the workweek. 6-7 hours during the weekend.

23: what's your favorite thing to do on lazy days where you have 0 obligations?
Just hang in front of the TV or computer with hubby. That’s it. I’m so exciting. Or old. *LOL* X-D That, of course, would include kiddo not being home. :-)

24: is there someone out there you would trust with every single one of your secrets?
My best friend spicehobbit or my hubby peting73.

25: what's the weirdest place you've ever broken into?
Wait, what? What kind of question is that??? I’ve not broken into any place per say. When I was a kid/young teen I might have snuck into a closed down school yard, but that’s about how exciting it gets.

26: what are the shoes you've had for forever and wear with every single outfit?
I wear my Dr Martens with everything. Seriously. And I wear my Dr Martens until they fall apart. Then I buy a new pair and start over. :-) I have, however, bought Dr Martens-summer shoes now, so I do wear different kinds during the summer, but still. Dr Martens all the way!

27: what's your favorite bubblegum flavor?
Easy question. I don’t like bubblegum at all. *LOL*

28: sunrise or sunset?
Sunset. I’m a nightowl. Yet another easy question!

29: what's something really cute that one of your friends does and is totally endearing?
It appears as if it doesn’t matter how old we get, as soon as we meet or we say goodbye me and spicehobbit share a great big hug. :-) I hope we’ll never stop doing that no matter how old we get!

30: think of it: have you ever been truly scared?
YES! I have. Mom had a period when I was a young teen where she ended up in the ditch with the car thanks to the ice around where I grew up on the countryside during the winter. Once a year. Like clockwork. *lol* We were never hurt or anything, but it’s still really fucking scary when the car spins off the road and ends up in the ditch. I remember dad got really mad every time, since he had to fix the car (he did all the work on the cars himself).

But the main panic where I was absolutely terrified was when my father died far to soon. Thank gawd for my good friends who took care of me then, because I don’t remember much from the moment mom called me and told me until I was standing on the train station after a train trip and hugged her. That was probably 4-5 hours later. Going from Uni to my room? Packing? The train-trip? It’s all gone. I barely remember anything. I was so full of absolute fear and grief.

31: what is your opinion of socks? do you like wearing weird socks? do you sleep with socks? do you confine yourself to white sock hell? really, just talk about socks.
Talk about socks? Alright. We sure jump between subjects here. *lol* Yes. I love socks. I have homemade knitted socks when I sleep, no matter what season it is, because my feet are cold as blocks of ice during the night. I can’t sleep without socks on my feet. It’s weird. Especially during summer when I sleep naked and still have big knitted socks on my feet. X-D Hubby and kiddo though hate socks. They take them off before their jackets sometimes… X-D

32: tell us a story of something that happened to you after 3AM when you were with friends.
I was at a really good after-party while I was a student at University and active at the Student Union Pub. Well, I was at MANY after-parties then. *LOL* This one I remember though. Since it went on until 8:30am in the morning!!!! o.O I think that’s the longest I’ve ever been partying to be honest. Good thing it started on a friday night since I probably needed both saturday and sunday to recuperate from that. *LOL* I remember it was damn fun though!

33: what's your fave pastry?
Cinnamon buns (especially moms), any spongecakes, chocolate mudcakes, swedish birthday cakes, princess cakes… I could go on. :-D

34: tell us about the stuffed animal you kept as a kid. what is it called? what does it look like? do you still keep it?
I would have kept him… If mom hadn’t taken him back. *LOL* I had my moms old teddybear when I grew up. My mom is now 63 years old, she got that teddy when she was 6 years old. He is still around… ;-) He’s called Nalleman aka Mr Teddy. He’s a pretty big teddybear filled with some odd wood-shavings instead of anything softer. He has bendable arms and legs, and has a little machine thing inside that once made him do a sweet bear-sound, but not it just sounds weird. *LOL* He was very broken once, but when I was a young teen me and mom sent him to a toy-doctor here in Sweden where he got fixed up a bit. He had fluffy fur once, bright yellow, but it is now a matted yellowish brown. And it’s not that much left of that fur either. But he’s been loved by me and my mom for 57 years… I think that’s pretty cool. ;-)

35: do you like stationery and pretty pens and so on? do you use them often?
I love it! When I was younger I used to have penpals from various places in Sweden and also from a few places in the world when I learned english. Sadly there’s not much of that going on anymore, is it? I do like pretty pens though, but nowadays I mostly use it in my calendar. :-)

36: which band's sound would fit your mood right now?
It doesn’t matter what mood I’m in, there’s two bands I can count on. Tokio Hotel and Mötley Crüe. :-D Two very different bands for sure. Right now? Hmm… Mötley Crüe, I think. :-)

37: do you like keeping your room messy or clean?
I am a messy person, but I hate mess. So I do try to keep it clean at least. Well, not only my room but the entire apartment.

38: tell us about your pet peeves!
Bullying. I hate it with a passion. Because I was bullied as a kid myself. It breaks my heart really knowing there are so many kids still today being bullied.

Foul language among young kids is a pet peeve as well. I mean, the things the kids at the school I work say… o.O Geezes christ… Not only among each other, but to adults as well! I’ve lost count the times I’ve been called a racist, nazist, whore or jew or something similar… I don’t even know. o.O

39: what color do you wear the most?
Well, that was easy. Black, black and more black. X-D

40: think of a piece of jewelry you own: what's it's story? does it have any meaning to you?
Yeah, I have a funny story about the 24 carat golden little cross I got from my father at my confirmation. It’s like, tradition in my family more then me being christian. More of an atheist here. Anyway, it’s a big deal. Dad and mom went to a nice jewellry store. Checked out the crosses in gold. And dad wanted this one. It’s not big, but you change it around so you can change it’s look, which is cool. Apparently he thought so to, and wanted it.

And started haggling over the price. X-D My father was pretty cheap, so he always haggled over EVERYTHING he bought! Including jewellry for his daughter in a fancy jewelry store. I can’t get over this story, and since he picked that necklace out for me, it does mean a lot even if I don’t believe much in the symbolism that the cross stand for. :-)

41: what's the last book you remember really, really loving?
My favorite book is Nikki Sixx The Heroin Diaries. It’s… a punch to the gut. To put it mildly. I love it. I also love I Am Ozzy. I laughed. I cried. I gaped in shock.
The latest one though must be Broken by Shy Keenan. If that’s not a punch to the gut, nothing is. Trigger Warning if you look up what that book is about. Seriously. The fact that woman is still alive and an adult is bloody miracle.

42: do you have a favorite coffee shop? describe it!
I don’t drink coffee. :-) BUT! Kiddo has a favorite fika place called Tant Green (The green old lady). It’s great, they have a lot of the classic swedish fika pastries. And they have some modern fancy ones to. If you’re hungry, they have lunchfood as well. They have cozy corners with a lot of pillows and regular tables with chairs to. It’s just a nice place to go to.

43: who was the last person you gazed at the stars with?
Ehr… I don’t do that? *LOL* I guess it must have been with spicehobbit at some point being drunk and silly in the middle of the night. That has been known to happen now and then. :-)

44: when was the last time you remember feeling completely serene and at peace with everything?
I don’t know? :-) Do you ever really feel like that? Maybe when my daughter was born? Yeah, probably. :-)

45: do you trust your instincts a lot?
OH YES! I’m one of those people that ALWAYS (well, almost) go with my gut-feeling. :-D It has taken me to where I am today, so I guess it works for me. :-)

46: tell us the worst pun you can think of.
THERE’S SO MANY! I just can’t think of any right now at the time of writing this. X-D

47: what food do you think should be banned from the universe?
None? I mean, even if I think some sorts of food is… really disgusting, there’s others that enjoy it. Other traditions. Etc. Of course, the tradition of boiling dogs alive for food is not OK. Like, at all. If you see dogs as food and want to eat them, that’s fine. But for god's sake, kill them BEFORE you cook them!!!

48: what was your biggest fear as a kid? is it the same today?
Losing my parents. And it’s the same today, what with already have lost my father. I’m so very scared of losing my mother to. She means the world to me!

49: do you like buying CDs and records? what was the last one you bought?
The last one I bought was Dream Machine by Tokio Hotel, which was a disappointment sadly. I LOVE their other album, Kings of Suburbia that I also bought. It’s my favorite of their albums!

So these days I just buy Tokio Hotels albums. Oh, and also the albums of the indie-artist Erutan! SHE IS AMAZING! And if you love fantasy-sounding music, you seriously need to give her stuff a listen!

50: what's an odd thing you collect?
Ehr… I guess my Donald Duck & Co comic books? I’ve been subscribed to those comics since I was 6 years old. You get 50 comic books each year. I’ve not thrown away a single one. Not. A. Single. One. o.O That’s a lot of comic books. I guess that would be considered a bit odd. X-D

51: think of a person. what song do you associate with them?
I associate my brother with any song by Eddie Meduza. X-D Both because my brother is a raggare and because he used to listen to him SO MUCH when we grew up. Especially the more obscene songs. His kids have grown up on those songs. Ane turned out alright despite that. ;-)

52: what are your favorite memes of the year so far?
I don't know!!!! I think I've missed a lot. I mean, there are a ton with Trump. And I love those! Both because they're important, hilarious and damn frightening to. I still like them though. But a specific meme? I don't know...
