Today's about me in more ways than one, so I thought it fitting to do the award/meme-thingy Epurica passed on to me. Thank you Epurica! :-)
Rules:
- Thank the person that gave you the prize
- Give the award to blogs you've recently discovered and think that deserve it
- Contact those bloggers and tell them about the award
- Write 7 random facts about you
Okay, right, soooo... lemmesee... :-)))
- Back in the good old days when I still worked out regularly in the afternoons, I used my English-Hungarian dictionaries as dumbbells. They had an awful grip, but I suppose my fingers could very well use some exercise too (in addition to the hours of drawing I used to do). Let's just say my dictionaries and I have a very special connection... :-)
- I wowe bunnies!!! When I was a child, I didn't have a single Teddy-bear, but I had toy bunnies by the dozen. :-)
- There's a notice board beside my desk where I put clippings from brochures and magazines. They're photos of all the things I want, and whenever I get something, I remove its photo from the board. Looking at all those pretty things makes me happy, which in turn puts me into a positive state of mind, one in which I'm capable of attracting the things I desire. Well, I believe so anyway. :-)
Right now, there's postcard I got from one of my ex-colleagues from New York, a printed picture of Lierac's Mésolift Serum, a photo of a lovely dark-blue summer-dress and a pair of brown leather sandals, a few pairs of earrings from an AVON brochure ('cause I want to have my ears pierced, but I'm sorta hesitant at the same time), a picture of LUSH's Veganese (should have removed that one... :-), and a postcard and a Dune fanart I got from my ex-students. - I can bend my thumb backwards at a 90° angle. Mum's always told me to pay attention not to do it in front of people, 'cause it looks weird and might freak some people out. I say, who the heck cares...?
- I used to love ABBA and BoneyM when I was a little kid. Dad's musical taste must have rubbed off on me. (I still love ABBA though...)
- I loathe jasmine in every shape and form, but love the scent of roses. Wonder what that says about me? (Besides the fact that I'm already an old lady at heart...)
- When my music teacher heard me sing for the first time, he said I have perfect pitch and demanded that I sing in the school choir. I did that for about a year before I decided that I'd much prefer sleeping an extra hour to singing Kumbaya every morning, and flunked out (to my teacher's absolute horror). Though I love music, I haven't sung anything in 15 years...
Right, so now it's my turn to tag 7 people:
Spookuur
Sagu
Ale-M
Gabi
Niphetamin
DiAnais
Ladybird (You can do this in the comments, but only if you want to. :-))

Dear Izar, I received this beautiful blogger award too, so back at that time I wrote some facts about me on my blog. This is the translation:
1. I love traveling: for the longest period of time, as often as possible, far from my country, to exotic places;
2. I'm kinda messy, which drives my husband crazy, as he has to clean after me, because he has no choice (he's a clean freak!);
3. I love cooking and cleaning the dishes (that's pretty all I do as house-working);
4. I love dogs more than I love people;
5. I dream of moving from my country to somewhere else (I need to decide where, when and how);
6. I usually don't go shopping accompanied, as I find it difficult to make up my mind and make a choice and I also hate waiting for others;
7. I became obsessed about cosmetics labeled bio/ organic, vegan, so now I intend to prepare them by myself. I wonder now what I'll write about on my blog:) )
I finally found the time to take your tag. I wrote it in English so you can read it on my blog :). http://universegoist.blogspot.com/2010/04/7-random-facts-about-me.html
Thank you so much for thinking of me.
P.S. I love your idea about the clippings. I might just copy it! :)
Nimphetamine: Wow, many exciting pieces of info about you! Especially the one about making your own cosmetics! What are you planning to make and where do you get the ingredients?
You and I also share a love for traveling it seems. I haven't been to any far-off places, but I'd love to, given the chance. Where have you been already?
DiAnais: Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't understand Romanian (not without the help of Google Translate anyway, and even then, it's a bit shaky...), so I appreciate you doing it in English. :-) I also adore your cat, he's cuteness embodied. :-D
Hey, not so many...only 7:))
Check out my blog for some receipts. I get most the ideas (and ingredients) from www.aroma-zone.com. It's a great site and it gets you in the minute you enter it. It's in French, it has an English version, but it's very poor compared to the French version. I plan to make everything is possible, since they have receipts for cosmetics and make-up as well;) Let's see what I can do:))
The farthest place I've ever been to is Fuerteventura, one of the Canaries isles. It's an interesting place, especially that the don't have VAT, so everything is cheap cheap cheap!:)
I also visited France, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary (Budapest only), Austria, Germany, Montenegro (the most beautiful country ever), Greece.
We also share the love for Depeche Mode;) I'm a huge fan since '90 and I'll stay the same till I die:))
Now you know more than 7 things about me:P
Hey Nimphetamin!
Wow, you've been to Budapest! Cool! :-DDD
Montenegro, Bulgaria and Greece are the countries I haven't visited yet from among the places you listed. And the Canary Islands, of course. :-D I do hope, however, that I'll manage to set foot in some of them sometime in the future.
I've also been wanting to create my own cosmetics for a long time, so I'll be looking into all these sites offering raw materials for sure. :-)
Have you ever been to any DM concerts? Got any fave songs? You've been a fan for a lot longer than me you lucky girl you. :-D
Yes, twice to Budapest and I plan to comeback:)
You definitely have to visit Montenegro, it's one of the most beautiful and interesting countries I've ever seen. It's a very small country, but it has everything: wonderful sea, great mountains, delicious food and nice people (though they don't speak English at all:) )
Bulgaria is very cheap, nice and offers great services. I usually go to Veliko Tarnovo every 1st of May (it's 3 years now, this year would be the 4th, but we'll go to Balcic)
In Greece I went to Corfu and I fell in love with everything...a great destination!
I will have more posts about the sites where I get the raw materials from, so stay tuned;)
Yes, I went only to one DM concert, here in Ro. It was a huge event and that the was one of the most happiest days in my life. I've been wanting to see them ever since I listened to them for the first time. Of course I fell in love with Dave Gahan, dreamed about being his wife and all the b/s of a teenager? I love all their songs, but I hate their last LP :( Except Wrong, which sounds great. The rest of the songs suck big time, I'd rather listen to the old LPs. Among my fave song are The things u said, But not tonight, Higher love, Blasphemous Rumors...
What about you? I know they have many gigs in Hu, so this time you are the lucky one;)
Thanks for this, I loved reading about you. :) I'll do my part soon, I just didn't have the time, my boys kept me busy.
Well, seeing that you tagged me, here are some random facts about me :-):
1. I used to have a different first name - before I was born, my brother and my sister decided what name they prefer for a little sister, so I was named accordingly. But in reality they never called me that, and I hated that name - so when I was 3 years old, my parents changed my name officially.
2. I love books - there was a time in my childhood, when I used to check out so many books from the local library, that I needed help carrying them - seeing that my bag was bigger than me. :-)
3. I used to play piano - but only because my parents thought I've been spening waaaay to much time with my books.
4. I'm a closet-geek and absolutely love science fiction! I began with Star Trek and then expanded my obsession to other TV-shows and books as well.
5. I love traveling and I hope that sometime in the future I will be able to work or study abroad.
6. I have three blond tufts in my hair - right now it can't be seen because of my hair dye, but in my original hair color it was quite conspicouos. :-)
7.I used to want to be a teacher, because I hated injustice and favouritism and I wanted to be different than my own teachers.
Hi Izar! I've posted 7 facts about me in my latest post, although they are more make-up related and not so personal. Promise I'll make it up to you in the near future.
Hugs
