As a part of the dares list from Tom Baker I decided to pick the lovely
Photogenic (New)
Post a picture of yourself with a person you would not normally approach (a rabid football fan, a neon raver, a crazed cat woman, etc) or post a picture of the place you live in from the tallest place in town (building, mountain, hill, etc).

I currently live in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (for those unaware on the positioning, check Google maps). The city is ancient, built before the Christian times by tribes of Tracian heritage called “Daci”. They were shepards and warriors and they manage to fend off the Roman Empire from 44BC to 106AD when they were conquered by the Roman general Traian. The city was then called Napoca and you can see it on the old map here:

They were assimilated and the country was divided into 3 major regions (Transylvania – NV, Vallachia – S and Moldavia – NE). It was bigger than the current Romania and with subsequent wars and the assimilation of other nations (Turks, Serbians, Germanic nations and Hungarians) we came to be what we are today. The ancient parts of the city are still preserved in the center town (you can see old housing from 2000 years ago) and we kept a lot of latin words in our own language and even some really old Dacic words . This is the city today as seen from a few different points (some are from my house which is on top of one of the hills surrounding it) and some are from a hill inside the city.

Hellow dear 16 year old me! I have some news for you!

I decided to pick a few dares from Tom Baker’s List. Why? Because they all sounded so cool!

Category: Youngins  Write a letter to your 16-year-old self and post it. Detail your journey.

My dearest and sweetest friend,

Of all the people you have met and ever will, you and me will always stay together. I love what you like and everything you have ever read, I have as well – and I can give you a few tips now on what not to read but I think you will ignore me and read them anyways because you never went easily with another person’s opinion. Yes, I know your motto: “Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear”.

You are a talented child. Believe in yourself more and you’ll do all right. You might think that you ain’t got the looks and there are prettier girls out there, but remember – this is the best you’ll ever look (:)) and second, beauty is transient. There’s no point being an empty-brain bimbo that will look wide eyed at any man and fade away into the crowd by the time she’s 25. If possible, try to change highschools. I know you hate it now and you’ll hate it even more in the next years. If you can’t change schools, take some karate lessons and beat the crap of BB. He deserves it for the ass that he was and will be. I know - I have met him again after years and years and he still thinks that tormenting you day after day has been “fun” and that we “had laughs” together.

You, my dear, are hot blooded and will turn into a nympho. Keep watching porn as it will deter you from ever wanting to go near a wang until you’re old enough to pick your own. Don’t drool over SC and yell in the middle of the forest that you love him and you will never ever be another man’s woman because (even though he felt the same for you) you are not meant to be anything more than good friends. Don’t drool over O as well. You’ll fall in love with him and it will burn as hell because he’ll date your best friend before you can manage to say you love him. I would still like you to experience the feeling of seeing the man you love walk down a corridor to meet you, dust particles shining in the summer sun, his eyes warming up at the sight of you and you melting slowly inside and wanting to wrap yourself around him like a weed. Keeping your feelings in touch, you shall know him for years to come and eventually the heartache will go away leaving you with one of the best male friends you’ll ever have.

Don’t be so scared to talk to people. I know you keep thinking that it ain’t your business what others are doing, but make it so. Go out, have fun, make memories that you can look back fondly at.

My last advice, my love, don’t change who you are and your core believes. It made me into who I am today and I am loving the me now. Be yourself even when you will find friends lacking as you will develop some awesome hobbies.  Read books as they will open up your mind and fire up your imagination. Be open with your feelings and learn to be a go-getter sooner. I always get what I want and whom I want so be sure to choose wisely when you go on a hunting spree. Looks do not matter (but you already know this) – what really matters is that he will compliment you (not with words) and will be like the rain enveloping you without changing you in any way.

Live long and prosper!

Your 28 1/2 year old self.

 

 

30 Days of Blogging Honesty – Day 30 – Final Day

Day 30 — One question or subject matter if I were asked here on 30 Days of Blogging Honesty I know I would refuse to answer or definitely lie about is…

well, nothing. I am really an honest person and tell the truth as often as I can. I do indulge too much in the extravaganza of the anonimity on the internet and I would love that most details about me remain hidden but I would most definitely respond to any question about them.
I feel that over the last 30 days I have made a few friends and I would like to say a warm thank you for all of you who have taken time of your busy days to read through my rants and answers. I feel like I know you a little bit and a bit of your personalities which shine through every piece you write.

Thank you.

30 Days of Blogging Honesty – Day 29

Day 29 — My television is showing the same show on every channel. I really don’t mind watching ____________ (from the 1960′s) and I really love this show because…

aww dude! I never watch TV! I definitely don’t watch 60′s shows. At best, I used to watch 80′s shows like “Quantum Leap” and “Married with Children” and “Dallas” and “MASH”.

I think I escaped it long enough so I’ll pick the alternate question instead.
Your daughter tells you she is bringing home her boyfriend for dinner. When they arrive, she introduces you to a man who is not your same race. Sometime during dinner she announces that they have been married for the last six months. What bothers you more? The difference in race or being excluded from the wedding
I would not mind the race difference as long as he’s not a Pakistani or an Arab with 20 other wifes. I am prejudicious against Paki men as there are so many of them in Britain. And they are leecherous men, even when married or in a “stable” relationship. I would not want for my daughter a man like that.

As for the Arabs – I would want my daughter to have a husband that will kiss the ground she walks on, not hurdle her together with other women so she will always be in a competition for the bed and the attention.
I’d love if the other race would be Asian (taiwanese, japanese, coreean – even chinese) and it would be absolutely great if the dude would be from Hong Kong! They have beautiful men out there! Tall, lean, smart *drooling here*. Hopefully he would not be shorter in height than her!

 

Two children in a wedding outfitNow back to the question – the race would bother me only if it would be of the two types above. Otherwise, I couldn’t care less as long as he loves her. It would bother me that they did not come to me for the wedding so I could see her coming down the isle and I could see her father giving her over.
I would also be pissed about not knowing the guy but I would respect her instinct and their marriage and for my own sanity I would make them re-do the ceremony :) (without the paperwork of course)

Day 28 — If I could do one thing that is socially unacceptable and know I would not be judged, I would…

be singing Limp Biskit’s “Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ yeah!” every time a person in a wheelchair would pass by.
You did say socially unacceptable no? And I’ve been dying to do it too! I bet I’d be stoned to death!

Eh, there are always other people that do socially unacceptable stuff and they get away with it too:

Nice T-Shirt Rihanna

Lady Gaga in a Wheelchair

Now that you’ve seen some of this world’s socially unacceptable appearances (and there would be more, including Madonna’s kiss with BS and CA and the nipslip on SuperBowl) – does my “Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’ ” sound so bad?

30 Days of Blogging Honesty – Day 26

Day 26 — I would break the law to save a loved one if…

I’d get a share of the cash. :) If my loved one decided to crack open a safe, rob a bank or even take one penny out of every internet transaction, I would want a cut and then we can both live like fugitives in the Maldives. I would be his gettaway driver, I would be his accomplice or even help on the money laundering process.

I was even joking to him that I would have loved to be a mobster wife. Your hubby coming back from a transaction with a sexy scar on his face, smelling of gunpowder! I would find it most appealing. I would be cool with anything as long as it’s not drugs. I’m not cool with drugs.

The other approach of answering the question would be when he’s not breaking the law and I would to save him. Hmmm, in what instances do you have to break the law to save an innocent person? I would say it’s actually helping the law to save them. I feel a scenario coming up. What if he’s been targeted by some really bad guys who want to kill him and the cops are corrupt or not doing their jobs. I would be breakin’ an’ entering the bad guy’s lot with a machine gun and get rid of the problem myself.

30 Days of Blogging – Day 25

Day 25 — My biggest pet peeve that has nothing to do with blogging, being online, computers or anything else related to the Internet is…

playing with my cats. I do it daily! And they’re so funny! This tabby of mine is really sweet tempered and currently I found out she’s been shagging and now she’ll have kittens. I really thought she was too young for this but it seems I was wrong! Kittens away!!

UPDATE:
Gosh! I misunderstood “peeve” – It’s actually something that ticks you off not gets you happy (peeve and perve :) ) )
OK, I’ll answer it again:
WHAT TICKS ME OFF completely is:
the invasion of privacy. People coming into my room without knocking. People browsing through my things when I’m not at home and then making assumptions on half thruths.

I can’t stand either how some people don’t clear out their black heads and let them grow infected. *shudder* I saw one guy in Practiker, he had a massive black head on the back of his neck. It was so big it actually looked ready to explode.

I also can’t stand old people. Always whining and complaining about things they regret not doing when they were younger. No point crying now! And the way when you go with a bus they seem to eye you and appraise you like it’s any of their business. I actually had once an old lady screaming at me in the bus that I’m trying to suck men’s dicks because my v-neck t-shirt was showing 3% of my (generous) clevage. I wanted to hit her so bad but my polite parents taught me I should be a self-restraining lady in face of idiocy.

I also hate potholes for the obvious reason.

30 Days of Blogging – Day 24

Day 24 — Given the choice between having to live the rest of my life without my voice, or living the rest of my life without the ability to hear, I would choose…

living my life without my voice. I can live without talking but giving up hearing – no way! How could I not enjoy another song, not hear when somebody’s talking in another room, not hear the birds outside. A place with no sound would feel so lonely!

Imagine the sound of cars, the people walking, the sound of rain falling down, the thunder, the screams of people on thrill rides, the sound of your parent’s voice, the laughter of your children, the chit-chat of your friends.

I’d be content just listening to them and not having to say a single word.

The other reason is – my day to day activities do not involve talking. I work as a computer geek in a software company and I have my tasks and I have my chores and I work alone so I don’t need to consult with anybody. Anything I wish to ask I do so through emails. I get back home and I watch some telly while dinner is in the oven (usually ready made meals from Iceland) and I only talk when my boyfriend gets home. Then I sit down and quietly engross myself in a new book or read a manga :)

30 Days of Blogging Honesty – Day 23

Day 23 — Allowing another person to fully love me means I must…

tell them all about my dark secrets. Opening up is never easy but now I know that one of my secrets is not that bad. I mean, watching anime and reading manga – a few other people do it so I mustn’t be the only one who practices it!

Being a high-nympho is also known to the person who loves me (there’s no way I can hide something so obvious).

My last dark secret that I need to reveal to him may shun him away so I don’t know whether to spit it out or not! Well, considering that he does not read this blog and might never will, here it goes. I lied to him at the beginning of our relationship. I told him I was with two men before I was with him and in fact I was with only one and even with that one – rarely. I did not want to appear like “inexperienced” in his eyes so I boasted about my sexual prowness and he believed me because I am very good in bed (thanks to all the books I’ve read and all the smut I’ve seen :) ).

So I went on and invented a sex-friends relationship with one of my mates who currenly lives in America and when I started dating my current bf, I “broke up” with the American stud to be with him. I know it feels kinda stupid now that it’s down on the paper but I did not want to look like a complete n00b when it comes to sex. I feel bad about lying to him and it did cause an argument once because he thought I was the slutty type, always looking to get laid. I’m very monogamous and I love him dearly but I don’t know now how to tell him the truth.

Well, I suppose this will be one of the secrets I’m going to take with me to the death bed :)
