People who don't know me perceive me like boring serious.
Those who know me say that I'm never serious......
Does it make me odd? :confused:

What do you think about my seriosity?
I love the word seriosity :) Is it one of your own? Seriously though people are people are people, we are all different and each of us has the right to be who we are. True you are maybe a bit more serious than I am, but that is who you are and I respect that in you.
On a lighter note - what is your favourite ice cream flavour?
ALL of them. However let's say tiramisu and forest fruits.
What colour are your bedroom walls?
a boring slightly off-white colour. When I was a kid I had a room that was not connected to the rest of my parents' house. It had wallpaper that was black, with silver threads through it - awesome:)
do you believe the notion that colours can alter your mood or psyche
Never really thought about it but I guess I would feel somewhat uncomfortable if I had to sleep in a bedroom that was all pink :p: .
Do you prefer a room slightly cool or warm (the missus and I are each constantly adjusting the thermostat in the schmenke house :mark: )?
Warm.
Have you ever fallen asleep while typing on this forum?
No way, it's far too exciting :p: .
Are you a heavy sleeper or do you often wake up in the middle of the night?
I wake up but then usually go right back to sleep.
What kind of fuel heats your home?

Finally.......
When was the last time you bought furniture?
Bought a leather recliner about a month ago to replace the old one that had seen better days, and well, you just need a leather recliner placed strategically in front of the 50" :D :uhoh: .
What's your favourite piece of furniture?
The bed. I'm a lazy a*se.
Do you have a yard around the house?
Only a really small one with enough room for the washing line.
Do you like mowing lawns?
I would if I had one.
Do you like gardening?
No :p.... oh wait
Yes I do, I am always outside and although my current job is not ideal, I still love Gardening itself. Its so relaxing when done as a hobby.
Whats the most challenging piece of gardening you have ever done?
Helped my cousin to plant a few plants ( :p ) in her court in the country. It was stressful.....
Do you celebrate St Nicholas on 6th December? I mean the old tradition to let kids' boots at the door and in the morning the old Nicholas would leave some sweets or a stick ( depending on how naughty they've been ). I always get the stick........

I also knew it. That's why I refrained to answer.;)Quote:

Who is your national saint?
St. Andrew ( we call him Andrei ). These days Andreea has become one of the most spread name for the young girls. St Andrew is celebrated on 30 November and is a national holiday. This year it was on Sunday....:s. The good part is that it's linked to 1 st December - our national day.
When is your national day and what's its significance?
July 1st, the significance of which commemorates the creation of the dominion of Canada through the British North America Act, enacted on July 1st, 1867.
What’s the furthest from home you’ve travelled?
In NZ it is Waitangi Day on Feb 6th. It recognises when a treaty was signed between the British Crown and Maori tribes, basically creating one nation and ending the land wars (1840).
How different are local accents and dialects in your country (unless you live in England :))
Lol. A lot to tell.....The most annoying are the Moldovans. They pronounce ce/ci like she/shi and pe like pi. They sound really funny. Moldova is the poorest region of the country so if you also add the terrible accent, the Moldovan is perceived like an uneducated peasant ( good.....no Moldovans here on the forum to be offended). Then we have the proudly transylvanians ( like Ioan) who speak slowly with a lot of regionalisms and tend to use annoying pronunciations ( ex. s-o dus instead of s-a dus ). Generally they can't stand people from Book a Rest who they call "southerners". They start a phrase by saying interjections like'' ioi ''or ''no'', etc.
In Banat te may become ce, and de may become ge. In Oltenia they speak very fast and use a specific tense of the verb called simple perfect. Etc etc. What is simply wonderful about romanian language is that despite all these differences we speak the same language and can understand each other no matter the region we come from.
What foreign language do you think that sounds really good?

Do you love or loathe Christmas?
Don't loathe it but it can't bring me the joy it used to do în the past. Fair to say that I fear this year Christmas. It would be the first time I'll be alone at home just with my sick mum. Santa won't come, as usual, and I can't enjoy the traditional food sitting alone at the table.
To answer the q, for me Christmas still remains an important tee of the year, an important target for all my actions ( like „I have to finish....until Christmas”).
Have you ever played the role of Santa?
No. Not fat enough, not jolly enough, no reindeer in sight (and I'd probably put reindeer steaks on the grill if I had one of those animals), and I don't own a red suit though I do have a beard.
Do the decorations for Christmas go up too early where you live?
The beard should be white :laugh:Quote:

What have you dreamed last time?
Nobody answers my question. I refuse to think that none of you dreams.......
I'll take it as if either you're ashamed to admit it or ashamed of what you dream.
:s :s
Well I considered answering but thought it was a boring answer.
I dream a lot. I can only remember a few snippets of the last dreams till early that morning unless it is some spectacular and memorable dream. Last night one of my dreams was about my sis-in-law's back problem and a visit to the doctor (she had a MRI scan done yesterday and we talked about it).
Not a very interesting last dream.
do you dream a lot or remember things clearly the next day?
For two months I sleep about 4 hours/night and then I sleep like a log so no time for dreams. I don't even hear anymore the phone notifications of mail, forum posts or fb.
But generally I forget the dreams unless they're very intense and have an emotional impact. Happily(or sadly?) my dreams never come true.
Do you snore?
No.
Do you read before going to sleep?
No
Will you get a bonus for Christmas?
No, thanks to the Saudis :(
Do many people commute by bicycle where you live?
No, they're too infatuated for this.
Is there a snow layer where you live?
Yes, but the forecast is for mild temperatures (above freezing) for the next few days so it may all melt.
What's your favourite winter activity?
Laying in my bed under a warm blanket with a nice glass of red wine.
I HATE winter! :angryfire:
Why do you like winter?
Around here you have to embrace winter otherwise you'd do nothing for 6 months a year :p: .
I love to ski with the family (usually here: http://www.skinakiska.com/conditions/mountain-cam.aspx ), or toboggan, or simply long walks in the crisp air.
What time does the sun rise and set this time of year?
Officially rise at 7:37 am and sets at .4:34 pm
In reality we hadn't seen the sun from November 11. Just a long chain of gloomy rainy days + days when it snowed. It's the longest period without sun in our history and a new source of depression.
Do you like to do the Christmas shopping?
Hell no! I haven't even started yet, and will prob finish on Christmas Eve.
Would you rather have a white winter Christmas, or a sunny summer one like we get?
I've just said I hate winter.
What present do you wish for Christmas?
I will let some one else answer since most of the above Qs did not apply to me at all ! :p:
