One more, yeah

(I started this on Friday, and am finishing it on Monday, so the "getting up" etc stuff refers to Friday.)

I haven't posted anything for so long, I now need three posts in a row. Well, whatever.
A friend of mine posted this meme, then another did, so I think I might also give it ago.

1. What time did you get up this morning?
10 past 8 - my boyfriend woke me at 6.45 or something, but I ignored that fact as best as I could. Worked out marvellously.

2. How do you like your steak?
Organic and medium. And eaten very rarely so it feels really special.

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. Becuase as I just mentioned previously, I love birds.

4. What is your favorite TV show?
Don't watch much TV, and much less TV shows. Of all time? Probably the original Start Trek when I was age 6-8. Now? House is sometimes quite nice, when I catch it. Scrubs as well. Family Guy...I've watched too much of that by now. Does Galileo count? Avatar-The Last Airbender was nice, but I'm not sure whether it's running somewhere right now. Meh. Really not much of a TV show watcher.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Here in Graz, and...Irish west coast or San Francisco or London or Adelaide, though I haven't visited the last one yet. I guess what I really need is my personal bat cave and my personal crazy modes of transportation, so that I have a base plus a huge range of action. ;)

6. What did you have for breakfast?
Mhh, bread with that chocolate-apple spread we bought in a tiny store in Italy on our last holiday.

7. What is your favorite cuisine?
I don't know. Something freshly made, with a good amount of veggies? That applies to a lot of things, just not typical Austrian cuisine, now, does it. :P

8. What foods do you dislike?
A lot less than I did during various stages of my life. Hmmm...chestnuts, maybe? I adore the smell, and sometimes I eat them, but I do not really love them. Yeah, that's the worst I can currently say about any kind of food. Success!

9. Favorite Place to eat?
Die Scherbe in Graz, for casual eating, San Pietro, also Graz, for fancy eating, and Wagamama (I've only been in London) for my dream food place of all time - honestly, a day before I left London, I stuffed myself so full of their food, even the serving staff was amazed. I need to go back. Need to. It's been five years! *cries*

10. Favorite dressing?
Kernöl - I cannot argue with what my friends are saying. I also like joghurt-based dressings though.

11.What kind of vehicle do you drive?
A totally rad deep blue bike which is waiting for a name to match its brilliance.

12. What are your favorite clothes?
Hmmm, wide-legged jeans, a tee layered over a cami, a cardi over that, some kind of scarf. Skip the tee or cami if it's warm. The cardi only if it's really hot. Anyway, layers. Yumm.
Also, long flowy dresses which need nothing else to look great. Apparently, there is a hidden rule that I can only ever own one of that kind. *shrugs*

13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?
San Francisco, so Kris can show me all the wonderful SF places she discovered. London, Ireland, Australia. Bali. Honestly, give me a plane ticket anywhere and I'll go. ;)

14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
It's always either completely empty or completely full because I tend to drain glasses in one fell swoop. ;)
I guess this would be one of the philosophical questions where a free refill would fit in perfectly, as an idea.

15. Where would you want to retire?
Ummm. Somewhere warm, I suppose. Or Ireland. But who knows? Maybe, once I get to that age, we can go to the moon? I'd like that. (And yeah, I know that's not exactly the warmest place available.)

16. Favorite time of day?
Hmmm. On summer days, around 3.30pm. And then again around 6pm. In winter...hmm, late mornings.

17. Where were you born?
Graz. I'm still here. Boring? I think not.

18. What is your favorite sport to watch?
Figure skating. *crazy laugh*

19. Who do you think will not tag you back?
20. Person you expect to tag you back first?
21. Who are you most curious about their responses to this?
I do not like questions like these...meta-questions, in questionnaires like this, are boring. And silly. And stupid.

22. Bird watcher?
Not dedicated, with looking glasses and notebooks etc, but, as should be apparent by now, I love birds, so when I see some, I watch them. I even do not shoo the pidgeons from our balcony all the time, because, yeah, sometimes, I like to watch them. They are insane, but I still watch them.

23. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Haha. Night. Though I would prefer to be more balanced. Mornings are nice, too.

24. Do you have any pets?
Some spiders and other assorted insects, who choose to live in our apartment. Crazy pidgeons on the balcony.
So no, not really. I borrow from friends.

25. Any new and exciting news you'd like to share?
Snow!

26. What did you want to be when you were little?
Like my mum. *more crazy laughing* Okay, a pharmacist, I suppose. My parents thought I would be a goldsmith. I built lots of interesting Lego houses with neat floor plans (architect?).
I am now none of these things. At least I still write stories with zombies in them. :D

27. What is your best childhood memory?
Hmmm. The general carefreeness. Lots of good things going on back then. :)

28. Are you a cat or dog person?
Both. I can have neither, but I love cuddling/adoring other people's.

30. Always wear your seat belt?
Sure.

31. Been in a car accident?
Yep, once while on my bike (nothing happened), and once shortly after receiving my driver's licence (did some minor damage to the car in front of me). That's it.

32. Any pet peeves?
Some. People shouting. If someone starts a sentence and takes ages to finish it. Car drivers who don't look out for bikes. Really slow drivers. People in my building holding up the elevator while chatting. Some others as well, but I don't want to dwell on this too long.

33. Favorite Pizza Toppings?
Something with salami and lots of cheese, I guess.

34. Favorite Flower?
Orchids are nice. So are dandelions. So is lilac. So are sunflowers. So is wisteria. So is lavender. So are daffodils. So are...

35. Favorite ice cream?
It used to be apple-cinnamon. These days, I'm not sure. One of the best ice creams I ever had was in Rome, I think it was cinnamon-honey. But there's so many lovely ones! I switch between them all the time.

36. Favorite fast food restaurant?
I go to the old McD most of the time the rare times I do eat fast food, but I also love Subway - the sandwiches are lovely. Other than that? Not much choice around here.

37. How many times did you fail your driver's test?
Not at all. I guess all the panic and drama and whatnot during the learning process must have been worth something.

38. From whom did you get your last email?
Nanowrimo.

39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
Amazon/Waterstones. And there are several stores on Etsy that would do the same to me.

40. Do anything spontaneous lately?
Buy huge cheese hot dogs for me and my boyfriend at the Vienna Christmas market last Saturday, because I was so happy about everything working out so well that day. Plus the crazy happy dance I did after I delivered the books. Heh.

41. Like your job?
Most of the time.

42. Broccoli?
Cauliflower?
(And yes to both.)

43. What was your favorite vacation?
They were all quite nice, except the one to the USA, where all sorts of things went wrong wrong wrong.
I suppose the one to Ireland, the one to Southern England, and last year's expedition to Italy rank quite highly.

44. Last person you went out to dinner with?
My boyfriend. Hot dogs last Saturday; as for real dinner - Eckstein two weeks ago. Both yummy.


45. What are you listening to right now?
My colleague talking on the phone.

46. What is your color?
Black, blue and purple.
Whenever I wear teal, my mother and my boyfriend say (and have said) that this is my colour. If, by public agreement, I do have one, I suppose it is that. *shrugs* (I do like it, too.)


47. How many tattoos do you have?
None yet. Maybe one day. I'm thinking about several possibilities. During my latest Zelda craze, I thought a Triforce on the back of my hand would be great. ;)

48. How many are you tagging for this quiz?
None. I never liked playing tag.

49. What time did you finish this quiz?
12:18

50. Coffee Drinker?
Sometimes, but while I enjoy it, I tend to suffer for it in the evening.
