Actually, I didn't listen to that many songs in my childhood... so I probably remember stuff my sister used to listen to. Like Kelly Family, haha. So, probably most of their songs.

2. What was the last thing that made you feel beautiful?

Probably looking at myself in a mirror before I went out on Friday evening.

3. How would your ideal self live like and look like?

This has been the most important question of the past year. What is my ideal self? Who do I want to be? I'm thinking it's probably something completely different than what I have in mind.

4. What historical figure do you admire the most?

You're all trying to kill me with the historical questions, right. I'm not sure if there's one person I admire the most, I have a number of favourites. But to mentioned lesser-known names: how about Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn? For his bravery, wit and human decency in times when it was not common at all. 5. What book are you reading at the moment?

Right now, I am still reading Women Who Run With the Wolves. It's a wonderful book, it's just taking me so long because I read a lot of school stuff inbetween. I've seen it dissed as New Age bullshit, but for me, it is definitely one of the most influential books I have ever read - simply because the author describes so many of my own experiences.

Here are some quotes from Goodreads, I think they represent the book well.

6. If you were a month, which one would you be?

October, most likely. Sunny and warm at times, but still a prelude to winter. And don't even talk to me about the misty, cloudy mornings.

7. Do you enjoy making plans?

I'm not sure if I enjoy it, but I don't do well without plans. They do not need to be rigid, I can get by with basic outlines, but do not leave me without a plan.

8. If you were a butterfly, how would your wings look like?

Probably a mixture of violet and black patterns.

9. If you were to become deaf, what word (phrase) would you like to hear as the last one?

"I love you."

10. Do you find joy in something that would surprise people around you as it is “not fitting your image”?

Oh boy. Well, this really depends on how we met and how much do you know me. It could be anything:

Japanese fashion

magical girl anime

guns

playing Doom and Diablo with people

art

fanfiction of the most horrendous kind

most of the music I listen to

Basically, my interests are one horrible Eintopf, so there's going to be something that surprises you. Especially if we met in real life first and you don't have added me on Twitter or followed here. I come off very neutral at first sight, I think.

11. At what point would you be willing to sacrifice (or give up) your life as you are living it now?

Sacrifice... well, if it was for a good cause? And of course, for the sake of a better life. Which might not necessarily mean more convenient. I actually kind of sacrificed my old life when I moved out on my own.

My questions:

If you had the freedom to dress however you want (no financial limitations etc.), how would you dress like?

What is your favourite historical period?

What kind of person do you want to become in five years?

What is your favourite food?

If you had to recommend one song to the whole world, which one would it be?

Which country would you like to live in?

How did you meet your best friend?

Which fictional character has inspired you in a notable way?

How do you spend time when you're home?

What's one piece of advice you'd give to your younger self?
