I tend to think I have a bad hair day everyday. :p
Do you believe I'm brave enough to go to the next office and punch my boss in the nose?
No, although let us know how things work out :p:
What do you typically have for breakfast?
Coffee.
Did gadjo ever punch her boss on the nose?
Not yet. But he has been warned (too) many times that this thing is gonna happen soon.
Have you ever felt the urge to punch your boss in the nose?
At a previous job absolutely. I worked for a local paper designing ads etc. He would take the proofs to the clients, and if they were good, would tell the client hed did them himself. At the same time he would stay late and alter certain ads before having them proofed, when the clients told him they needed changing (usually back to how they were before he had altered them) he would blame us for doing a sloppy job....
What type of people really get under your skin, up your nose, and generally really irritate the hell out of you?
It's their world: uneducated and proud of it, ready to step on corpses to reach their material goals, selfish and disloyal, corrupted to the bones, arrogant and bossy, attention seekers. Well, in a few words I described Romanian society of today. Maybe now you'll understand why I'm always depressed.
At what hour will you go to sleep tonight?
I usually watch Top Gear, so usually the TV goes off at 11-11:30
Do bad drivers annoy you, are do you just ignore them?
I don't mind bad drivers too much, I accept that the majority of people are complete idiots and that they have no clue what they are doing. What I can't stand is dangerous drivers, the ones that skip stop signs, jump red lights, do 120 km/h in a 50 km/k zone etc. Those kind of drivers I take no shyte from and on several occasions have pulled them out their cars and given them a good old beating, one resulting in a court case for assault :angry:
Do you think we will see flying cars within the next 20 years?
Not in general use no, but as a rich mans plaything, the ones we have now will still be here. To develop the sort of flying cars we see in the movies (i.e. wingless things that levitate) will take longer than 20 years.
Is it right to put a cola mine in the middle of a natural habitat, knowing that
1. There is millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs made
2. The habitat will be damaged possibly beyond repar?
It's called progress, so yes, if we want to continue our way of life, it would have to be done. The thing is, every city, town, home, school etc has been built on a natural habitat at some point, but no one complained, so I don't see why another peace of earth would make a difference.
What is the most beautiful nature scenery you have ever witnessed and where was it?
One evening we were on the beach at 2 Mai drinking a beer in a pub and listerning to Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon when suddenly the moon rose from the sea. It was impressive and we still remember that wonderful night.
When was the last time you cried?
Everyday. I walk up, take one look at the wife next to me in the bed who has gone from pretty to haggard looking overnight and realise that the hot chick in my dreams is just that, just a dream :p:
Two wheels or four?
Two legs.
Do you snore?
My wife says I do, but I've never heard myself snore before so don't know what she's complaining about :p:
What's your favourite time of the day?
I love mornings. Unfortunately I have to spend them at work. My fav moment of a day is the one when I leave my working place. It doesn't last long cos suddenly I have to think of the troubles I have to face at home.
Do you smoke?
I do socially or if I have a cigar at home. I'm a bit of a health nut and work out and eat well, but I have to admit that smoking is damn pleasurable. Pity about the side affects though!
Where were you when the clock struck 12 when the new millennium rang in?
Like every Reveillon night I was at home knocking a glass of red wine and getting sad that it's winter, it's cold and I have to face a new boring year.
Do you use to celebrate the new year's day in a special way?
My wife and I used to go to a new place every new years eve to party it up. But since my kids came in 2007, we've been staying at home and having a few friends over for a braai and just chill out. I love looking back at a successful year that was and looking forward towards another and all it's challenges it will present :)
Would you say you are a calm person or are you coiled and ready for action?
I'd like to think I'm calm - like all those who feel depressed with life,disgusted and dissatisfied :devil: - but when I burst out I act like a volcano.
I love the security of the status quo and I'm somewhat hostile to change so you can't expect much action from me.
Do you have many friends?
I do, but sadly a lot of them have moved to far off places so I don't get to see them as often as I would like :(
Did you enjoy your time at school or was it a nightmare period you would rather forget?
Elementary school ( 1-8 grades ) was super great. High school was the cemetery of my youth :p
Have you ever been in a school camp?
Yes we did quite a few at school. It used to be very popular here to go on school camp outings, but these days not so much.
You still chat to people you went to school with?
My best friend in school is still one of my best friends. Then I live in the same house for a lifetime and some of my school mates are also in the neighbourhood.
Did you play prank jokes when you were in school?
Yes, still do for that matter.
Is it more important to be able to not take yourself too seriously, or to build up your own worth?
I think it depends on what kind of person you are....
Do you like to take pictures?
Kind of. I'm interested in photography but rarely get a chance to get out and practice. I'm thinking of taking a lesson or two.
Do you sing in the shower?
I did until I realised the wall is very thin and I could listern to some neighbours conversations. I still do it but only in my thoughts.
Do you like to eat garlic?
Love garlic, as long as it is used well. Pickled garlic is awesome (lucky I have strong toothe paste or my breath would stink :) )
What are you doing this weekend?
I got a relaxing weekend coming up for a change :D Tonight, I'm gonna have a good workout, then chill in front of the telly. Tomorrow, got the gardener and maid around to sort out the house, got my sons cricket match in the morning then in the late afternoon gonna have a fat braai and watch the Springboks smash the cr@p out of the Scots while I get semi wasted! Sunday morning will be recovery time and I'll just chill on Sunday afternoon with the wife and kids before catching the Sunday movie on the telly.
What are you doing this weekend?
Might go to the movies, might have ( again?) some workers to fix some pipes.
Definitely go to a mall and since I can't afford a maid I should sort out the house by myself.
Talk for a few hours on the phone, watch X Factor and Voice of Romania ( in case I don't fall asleep )
Take the usual ratio of tears, trying to sleep a bit longer, etc.etc.
Do you like to do your shopping?
I absolutely, positively hate shopping. Even if its to buy a new toy for myself, I still hate the process of having to go to a shop to get it. That's why I try and buy as much as I can online.
Do you have online grocery shopping available to you?
Yes but never heard of someone to buy grocery products online. In my country salaries are very low and food quite expensive so everyone tries to buy at the lowest price possible mostly at hypermarkets like Carrefour, Cora, Metro, Kaufland, Selgros where you can find everything from furniture and electronics to mineral water and can benefit of substantial promotions. They are even in the central part of the city so pushing the carrier at hypermarket is a sort of national sport. I find it very relaxing but I hate to carry the bags.
Do you like to go to museums?
Yes I do! Sadly, a lot of our older museums have either closed down or are no longer fully functional thanks to our inept ANC government that don't spend money on anything unless it involves lining their back pockets. But we do have a few good ones left and I love looking back at the history of our country and how we have now progressed :)
Do you enjoy going to the opera, live cabaret shows etc?
Not very fond of the musical shows. In the past I used to go to the theatre, I never missed a chance since I was a schoolgirl. These days I don't know why but I don't go anymore. It's a shame as most of the theatres are close to my home.
Who's your fav actor/actress?
Favourite actor - Morgan Freeman. Great actor with some great movies, especially The Shawshank Redemption :)
Favourite actress - Jodie Foster. I thought she was hot when she was younger, and I just enjoy her acting for some reason :)
What is your favourite movie of all time and why?
Can't pick just one as it was my hobby to watch the best movies of all time. Generally speaking I like some movie directors and try to follow their work. I absolutely love the movies of Emir Kusturica but you should live in the crazy colourful world of Balkans to enjoy them. I like films by Pedro Almodovar, Fellini and Milos Foreman (from his Czech period ). I also love a Romanian director called Nae Caranfil cos he shares the same sense of humour with me. Asphalt Tango, Filantropica or E prricoloso sporgersi, I can watch these 100 times and still have a laugh.
But if I have to pick just one this should be Gadjo Dilo. :devil:
Believe it or not, my nickname is the title of a French movie. :p
Do you watch soccer games?
Yes. Love Soccer/Football.
I am enjoying watching the International matches this week.
Do you think Romania can come back from 3-1 down with the away goal to beat Greece and get to the World Cup next year?
Definitely no as we're the masters of losing chances in the last minutes. This team don't deserve it anyway being the least talented bunch of arrogants in our football history. They play nothing, they don't have a good physical condition but have an idiot coach who's not able to choose the team and calls all the losers who play abroad. This guy got on my nerves when he was a striker at Steaua, now he drives me crazy as a coach.
Would you like to go to Brazil to watch the WC matches live?
I was seriously considering going, but decided against it. Couldn't really justify the thousands of dollars I would need to spend, so yes I would love to go.
What is 1 sporting event you would really like to see live?
Probably a football World Cup but it's not funny if my country wouldn't be a part of it.
WC 1994 -USA - that was the one I would have liked to see live. My country was very close to play in the semifinals.
Do you have to take a medicine on a regular bases?
