Do you have any close relatives that live far away?
Close relatives no. But as Romanians use to say: you aromanians are all related to each other.:p
Which is true cos we're very close even without being relatives . I have a lot of second grade cousins in Greece and at least one of them is very nice and supportive although I've met him only 3 times.
Have you ever had a broken bone?
Twice.
A broken toe and a broken wrist.
Have you ever broken a bone?
I broke my left pinky playing football when some moose from the other team stood on it, and I broke 3 vertebra in my lower back playing football, when I slammed backwards into the goal post.
Would you rather live in a city or in the country-side?
Hate the countryside. I'm a city girl.
Do you like sweets?
Yes, mainly mint ones though :)
Have you ever run down the street naked for any reason?
Not yet. But quite often I wonder what shall I do if an earthquake will find me under the shower. :p
Have you ever felt a big earthquake?
No, I live on a civilised piece of the earth :p: :D
Have you ever been to a large waterfall?
Well, a large one never. But we have a few very spectacular here like Big?r Waterfalls.
Have you ever been to a river delta?
Yes :) We have a few just round the corner from here.
What the highest hill/mountain that you have ever climbed? If you live, eat and breath in a city, what's the highest building you've lazily climbed in an elevator? :p:
Lol. Whenever we did trips on the montains I was the last to reach the chalet. I did some easy routes to some of the usual destinations in Sinaia, Bu?teni, Predeal - in the Bucegi Mountains. I always reached in four legs. :p However never climbed to the Cross , Babele or the Sphinx from Bucegi.
About buildings what shall I say? There aren't too high buildings in Bucharest. Don't know if I ever climbed higher than the 12th floor. Even the (in)famous Palace of Parliament isn't very tall.....
Have you ever been disappointed by someone you thought he/she's your friend?
Yes! When I was young I was dating a girl for 4 years and we got engaged when I was 22 and she was 20. We had 4 great years together, even though life was tough financially for both of us back then. We hardly ever argued with each other. Within a month of our getting engaged, the wheels fell off and she became pretty nasty and just not the same person I knew. We split and I was badly heartbroken. But, looking back I'm glad it happened when it did and not after we had married. My life has since turned out very nicely :)
You ever had your heart broken by someone you thought would never break it?
I think I have a heart of stone. :p
Now seriously, who hasn't ?
Have you been a spoilt child?
No, not at all.
What's the furtherest north and south (latitudes) you've ever been?
Don't know exactly but not too far of 45° parallel.
Have you ever spent a holiday alone?
And here's me thinking you were South African :)Quote:

Have you read Lord of the Rings?
No. Not even have the patience to watch the movie until the end. Definitely not my type.
Have you ever used make up?
Only while performing in a play when I was younger. Other than that people can take me as they find me.
Have you ever appeared in a play?
In primary school, but I have worked behind the scenes on a few.
Have you ever been on TV?
Lol. It was a riot at work and one TV news station took shots of a group where it happened to be my humble person. The bad part is that it was repeated million times during the debates on TV. At the beginning of the riot we were scared we'd be fired - a coworker talked on the phone with her hubby and he was like "please don't turn around. the camera is on you :p" - but next day it became natural.
Also when I was in the audience at the foundation of an aromanian organization.
What kind of programms do you watch on TV?
90% of the time, I watch sport. The other 10% I watch the news, weather or a good movie.
You a movie buff?
Used to be. When I was very young I never missed a movie. Then I was attracted by art movies and you can't imagine to what lengths I went to see old archieve movies or the new ones that weren't on our screens. These days I go to the movies only if I read a good review. It means you never see me at an american movie. I also love the new wave in romanian cinematography.
Don't have the patience to watch movies on tv. Those that are interesting are too late. But I admit sometimes I watch indian or south korean telenovelas. That's my guilty pleasure :p
What's the oldest ( as year of production ) movie you've ever seen?
I think Gone With The Wind, from 1939 I think? I love some of the old stuff like Ben Hur, Forbidden Planet etc :).
You cry when you watch a sad movie?
Nah, I'm a tough 'nuck :D .
If you found a wallet with a wad of cash and ID what would you do?
My mum found one that belonged to a judge. We tried hard to find her and when finally did she took it back without saying thank you.
Did you ever get a fine ( apart for driving mistakes)?
no, just 2 speeding tickets.
what was your best, most liked subject at school
Ancient history, I found it fascinating and I was the best in my class. Unfortunately we studied it only in the 5th grade.
What colour is your car?
Light metallic Blue.
Do you have a Christmas tree up yet?
No, I will get the fiber optic one out on Christmas eve and plug it in.
Have you had a white Christmas?
I don't know yet. Wish I haven't but the weather forecast says yes.
What do you think I found in my boots this morning (from st Nicholas)?
Smelly socks :p: :D
What you getting for yourself this Christmas?
I don't know. What I'll find as a bargain. I'd like a perfume but they never have special offers in this season.
What is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
p.s. thanx for not asking about weekend plans.:p
My Car.
What are your weekend plans? :D
Well, it's like I had a premonition. We were announced we should come to work on Saturday and Sunday. And not because we should work for x or y paper but because "it's possible to come some works'' Typical Romanian. Don't know how I had the courage to suggest that we'd better stay home and they call us to come if the SH!T comes and the manager said that's a good idea and my boss mumbled in anger as he should be the single one to come.:p (have I ever said that he practically does nothing at work?).So here I am ready with the rifle at my foot (the phone) checking for calls between trying on clothes, dealing with peasants at the market, making slaloms between shelves...The only regret is that I have. to miss a promising Romanian movie. Tomorrow I'll do the same.
Have you ever done a voluntary work?
It seems that I do voluntary work every day of my life :)
I have worked for several different organisations fund raising etc.
Right now, what is one thing that would make you truly happy?
A heated house. The perspective to spend another winter in my cold house is killing me. I don't think I'm able to resist and I'm fed up to fight with the bureaucracy that make impossible to link a house from the heart of an European capital to the gas distribution network.
What happened in the last dream you had?
Cant remember all of it, but I was trying to get to work, but everytime I tried to get a lift. I ended up further away.
Can you touch your nose, with your tongue?
No. And I'm not snub-nosed.
How do you plan to spend the new year's eve:
a - at an open air party with the crowd
b- at a restaurant/pub/club with family or friends
c - with family or friends at somebody's home
d - at home,, in robe and slippers, drinking a glass of champagne at midnight and then going to sleep
?
e - just like every other night :|
are you going to make any New Years resolutions, and how long will it take to break them?
