Manic Monday Meme

Every person you have ever slept with is invited to a banquet where you are the guest of honor. No one will be in attendance except you, the collection of your former lovers, and the catering service. After the meal, you are asked to give a fifteen-minute speech to the assembly.
What do you talk about?
Oh fuck. Thinking realistically I wouldn't have to give a speach because by the end of the meal everyone will be busy clawing each others eyes out, so my speech will probably only be with the phone operator on the other line of 911.

What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?
Staying at home, drinking tea, watching the rain and playing various games...

Are you a window person or an aisle person? Why?
Definitely window. I love to guess what is below there and I'm usually pretty good at guessing...

Manic Monday - late. again.

I'm late. again. sorry.

Who would you like to see on a new banknote (dollar bill, etc.)?
I frankly don't care who is on a dollar bill, since I pay with euros around here, but if I could choose I'd probably opt for a woman like eleanor roosevelt or rosa parks. the other possibility would be to put some eye candy on there to make the bill pretty...

If you were reincarnated as some other plant or animal, what would it be?
As a child that question used to pop up a lot - I don't know why - and I never really had an answer. I still don't.

If you owned your own restaurant, what would you call it?
Gf and I, once fantasised about opening a restaurant/café with an included cd shop. I guess, we went with soundcafe? Maybe my memory is poor and we had a different name...

I'm late again. I'll do it anyway:

What sound or noise do you love?
Rain on the roof of a plastic bus stop hut, the sound of red wine poured into a good Riedl wine glass, the sound of my own blood rushing through my head, when there is no other sound to listen to, the sound paper makes when you turn the page of a book, leaves in the wind, bubblewrap,
I could go on forever, but don't worry I won't.

What sound or noise do you hate?
firecrackers, fingernails on a blackboard, children when they are whiny and crying because they want something in the supermarket that they are not allowed to have, the sound a glass makes when it shatters on a tile floor,...

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Since I have none yet, I'd go for audio engineer or game interface/character designer. Wow, am I lucky that there are no schools for that in this part of the world...:)

What profession would you not like to do?
After I took a test at age 14 to find out what I'm good at and which profession I should take on I was told that I could become a car mechanic or a broom maker. I won't comment on how dated this test probably was and how I feel about doing either of those professions.

Better late than never...

Are you a talker or a listener? Is it ever possible to really be both?
I guess that entirely depends on my opposite. I'm a switch. Some people calm me so much, that I inadvertently stop talking :) Others are just talkative enough that even I can't really get a word in (hello to my friend D!) But other than that, I tend to talk a lot and fast. It was worse when I was a kid.

Do you think God has a sense of humor?
S/He has and I have the prove.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Have you ever experienced it?
Not at first sight. But I do believe (from experience) that one can have a special connection from the start. Whether that evolves into love or not depends on where you take it.

If your personality had to be summed up as a sandwich, what kind of sandwich would you be?
I'd be one of my own creation super sandwich. Those actually exist and the classic one looks like this: (from outside to the inside) toast bread, untoasted, butter, salad, one side gets brie/camembert the other gets a gouda like cheese (but with more flavor) and mayo in the middle...

If you knew that someone was dying, but they didn’t know, would you tell them the truth or deceive them about it?
I guess I would decide that on the spot, depending the person and situation and all.

Do you dress the same when you are depressed as you do when you are very happy?
Yes, but that is because I gained weight and I dress in the ever same clothes just because these are the few that still fit :) until I lost the weight again...

Manic Monday

So after a nice hint from LG to put the Manic Monday site into my feed reader, I actually am on time with it all. Yay, me.

What is your ideal age?
Bronze age? No, seriously I guess it's always the age that you feel comfortable in. Some people like being in their early twenties and and some like their thirtees. I always think it's nice to feel as old as I actually am (which happens very rarely), so I guess my favorite age is the mid-twenties.

What is your best excuse for being late?
I am NEVER late. NEVER. And if I am then I don't need an excuse because there is a reason like an unexpected traffic jam or something...

If you had to give yourself a nickname what would it be?
Well, I guess I'm quite content with Finn. It was given to me by my friend S who thought I didn't sound (we hadn't seen each other by then) like a _insert real name here_ and more like a Finn. I don't even have Finnish roots or anything.

Manic belated Monday

Due to time zones I'd only be able to do the Manic Monday meme on Tuesday and I was planning on doing so for a couple of weeks now, but then on Tuesday's I kinda got distracted...
This time, for no particular reason, I decided to do it despite my Tuesday distractions only just a little later than planned.

You have accomplished a difficult task and hear someone else taking the credit. How do you deal with the situation?
Since that happens constantly I pretty much try to sneak in that I'm the one who does the work. My boss usually takes the credit for my work in the sense of I keep his office running and he goes out and talks to the clients and such. But everytime I'm on the phone the people are actually happy to talk to me instead of the boss because they know that when talking to me that it will be done asap....

If you had to marry someone that you presently know unromantically, and spend the rest of your life as their spouse, who would you choose?
Either an old rich person or my best friend. Best friend wouldn't be possible, because as cliché as that is gf is my best friend...so all that's left is an old rich person. Do I have mention that it would be an open marriage?

If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are living now?
I'm not sure. I'd probably travel more and use up all the money I got stored away for doing so, but I'm not sure I would change that much. I'd probably live more "in the moment" but other than that I don't know...
