It's all about me-me
Obviously I can't stop talking about myself, therefore it's meme-time ...
corrieke tagged me to do this one:
1. List 7 habits/facts/odd things that characterise you.
2. Tag 7 other people.
3. Don't tag the person who tagged you first and don't say 'Whoever wants to do this'.
Oh my, that's a though one ...
1. I really dislike walking. As a child I had to hike with my parents almost every weekend and I never liked it. I remember especially one trip when I was around seven or eight years old when we were on a holiday in Austria. We were hiking up a mountain and it was terribly hot and I was sweating and thirsty like hell. All the time my parents promised me I'd get something nice and cool to drink when we'd arrive at the top - and then we did and the restaurant there was closed and so I had to walk back all the way (two or three hours, I believe) still thirsty and sweating. I loathed it and I swore to myself I'd never ever hike when adult.
Now you can probably imagine what a sacrifice it is that I'm doing strolls with Robin at least twice a week ... I really must like this horse, mustn't I?
2. I think I'm actually rather though when it comes to bearing with pain. Only I'm always making a big fuss when there is something wrong with my hands. Just today I discovered two really tiny sore spots on my right little finger - and went immediately to the apothecary for buying a specal bandage and a salve (my very sweet pharmacist was rolling his eyes and wondering - he knows I'm normally not in such fuss). I mean, my little finger at the right hand is needed for writing - I really can't stand it hurting.
3. I'm terribly touchy about the "atmosphere" surrounding me. If I have to be around people who're cross or depressed it goes to me even if I know that their mood isn't in the least connected to me. Therefore I'm actually glad about working alone most of the time. I remember once sharing a room with a colleague who was most of the time in a bad mood, always arguing with his wife on phone, always nagging about our boss, always talking about how bad life was treating him and how much he disliked most people around. It made me edgy and feeling depressed myself.
4. I'm very close to two friends of mine and our men are very much amused about our habit of talking to each other on phone at least once a day and getting worried when we didn't hear from each other for a day or two. We're clucking about each other like mother hens (my friends are clucking over me and pestering me to watch my blood pressure and to eat healthy food and to stop smoking while I worry about them working too much). But the most funny thing for me is that they always use diminutives when talking about or to me. For them I'm mostly "Byllchen" though I'm weighing almost as much as the both together, am five years the one's senior and taller as both.
5. Although I really care about my friends, I'm lousy in calling them and I always forget their birthdays. Whenever the phone rings, I'm cursing - although I like to talk to my friends. And as much as I try to remember their birthdays - even with my computer reminding me of it, I often forget.
6. I've got rather odd sleeping habits. Being an insomniac I hardly can sleep through a night and I always need hours until I fall asleep. So I'm often overtired (because I can't sleep as long as I'd need to in the morning - mostly there's some noise in the neighbourhood waking me) and therefore often I often sleep through the afternoon (and become rather edgy when the phone rings for the fourth time).
7. I dislike being commanded and therefore I won't tag seven people, but just say: Whoever wants, should do this meme. ;-)
And because we're just at it - here's another one I want you to fill out in the comments section of this entry and then (perhaps) to take over to your journal.
1. Do you have a tattoo?
2. How old are you?
3. Are you single or taken?
4. Fish?
5. Do you dream in color?
6. Do you have any recurring dreams?
7. How about them hipsters?
8. How did we meet?
9. What's your philosophy on life and death?
10. If you could do anything with me, what would it be?
11. What's your favorite guilty pleasure?
12. Do you like musicals?
13. What is your fondest memory of me?
14. If you could change anything about yourself what would it be?
15. If you could close your eyes and be transported anywhere in the world, where would it be?
16. What are you wearing?
17. Have you ever gone swimming after dark?
18. Have you ever sung in public?
19. If we had one day to hang out together, what would we do?
20. Which do you prefer - short or long hair?
21. What's your favorite day of the week?
22. What's your favorite color?
23. What's your favorite period in history?
24. Tell me one interesting/odd fact about you?
25. How many pets do you have right now?
26. What was your first impression of me?
27. Will you post this so I can fill it out for you?
