In a text post, list 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard– they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag 10 friends when you’re done.

(by no specific order, just the random order they came up to mind xD)

1 - Harry Potter series by JKRowling

2 - Lord of the Rings series by JRRTolkien

3 - The Avalon Series by Marion Zimmer Bradley

4 - Sherlock Holmes (all the books and short stories) by Arthur Conan Doyle

5 - both Alice books by Lewis Carrol

6 - Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho

7 - Siddartha by Hermann Hesse

8 - New World by Gillian Cross

9 - No. 6 and its sequel by Asano Atsuko

10 - On the Road to Baghdad by Guneli Gun

(and many, many more...!)

I was tagged by my sweet little @black--kuro! Give it your everything on those blasted exams, my dear!!

(Oh, and because I’m such an unoriginal person, I can’t come up with new ideas right now, so I’ll just follow the same themes @black--kuro talked about in her post.)

1-      I used to bite my nails a lot. Then, when I started college, I went through great lengths to stop that nasty habit. And I did! I don’t bite my nails at all now. But. I bite the dry skin around my nails and often end up with disgusting and frightening bloody fingers because of that… which is probably much nastier... (-_-‘)

2-      I have a younger brother. But everyone always thinks he’s the older one of us. (And usually by a shit ton of years as well).

3-      I love blue and my wardrobe is basically constituted of blue, grey and black clothes.

4-      I’m Portuguese and look very Caucasian, but I actually have distant African ancestry, of which I’m very proud of. (One of my great grandmothers had deeply curly hair, beautiful full lips and nose and bright big blue eyes. She also had a very beautiful African name, which I would love to give to a daughter of mine if I ever have one.)

5-      I am mostly vegetarian. I still eat a lot of fish and I sometimes eat meat (chicken or turkey), so I can’t say I’m fully vegetarian, but most of the meals I have at home don’t include any animal-derived protein, except for egg and dairy.

6-      I’ll be choosing the medical specialty that I’ll practice for the rest of my professional life next week, and I’m slowly dying inside from the stress of this important choice, even though I actually took next week off from work and should be enjoying my holidays... (-_-‘)

7-      The first - and only other - time I cut my hair this short, I was maybe 7yo and I went to a restaurant with my parents and, even though I was wearing a dress and had flower pins in my curls, the lady who took our things to the table kept referring to me as a “boy”, even after being corrected. Apparently, that was her very impolite way of showing her disapproval of my parents’ letting me cut my hair that short. But, at the time, I was too young to understand this level of rudeness and was very sad and cried and regretted and was ashamed of my choice. Stupid mean lady.

8-      I was part of an aerobical dance group in 5th and 6th grade. And I was actually pretty good at it.

9-      I hate it when people who I barely know touch me without warning or permission, especially my hair. I’m more than okay if my family or my closest friends touch or hug me spontaneously, but if a colleague like… suddenly grabs my arm or hand, or pats my back or something, the only thing I want to do is immediately break contact and possibly scream and run away from them. But I have to control myself and stay put or they’ll brand me as impolite. It’s a problem, sometimes.

10-   I have an illogical fear of being buried alive. I had repetitive nightmares about that for years.

Woah, I wrote a lot! Sorry about that!

 answer the 11 questions, then make up 11 of your own, and tag 11 people

  @nickyhemmickk ‘s questions:

1. If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?

Right here is good, thank you. (^_^)

2. If you could have dinner with any historical figures who would you have dinner with?

I don’t know… historical figures are history, I’d not be particularly curious about getting to know any historical figure, tbh. But I guess that, if I really had to pick someone, I’d probably choose someone who knew how to cook well, specially desserts. Mostly desserts. Only desserts. Yeah.

3. Old cars or new cars?

To use myself? New cars, without a doubt.

4. Flight or sea travel?

I have never sea travelled (or rather, I have once, but I was 2 years old, so I don’t really remember), so… flying, perhaps?

5. Oceans or space?

Well, both fascinate me, if that’s what you’re asking, but I’ve never wanted to be an astronaut, even when I was little. Like I said, right here is good, thank you. (^_~)

6. Steam punk or cyber punk?

I had to google “cyber punk”, I wasn’t familiar with that term. But definitely cyber punk!

7. What’s your motto?

Don’t think I have one. But, if I had to pick something, I guess it would be Thumper’s father life advice (from Bambi). I took it to heart ever since I was like… 4 years old? and I still value it a lot. "If you can't say something nice... don't say nothing at all.” It’s really good life advice, you know? Don’t be unnecessarily mean to people. Or, you know, just don’t be mean at all.

8. Who do you think is the biggest icon of our century?

Harry Potter, perhaps?

9. What’s the most iconic moment?

Of what??

10. Favourite fizzy drink?

I don’t drink those.

11. Orange juice with bits or without?

Either, as long as it’s natural.

 My questions:

1 – What is the Portuguese holiday, April 25th, about? (Yep, I want you to Google it. But, if you feel too lazy, you can just make something up. I’d love to see what you came up with! Hehehe…!)

2 – Why are tomatoes fruit?

3 – Why are you following me?

4 – Are you liking my questions thus far?

5 – What is the cutest animal you know?

6 – What makes it so cute to you?

7 – What are your plans for tonight?

8 – Have you ever planted a seed and nursed it into a grown plant?

9 – Have you ever cut down a tree?

10 – What is your opinion on mini books?

11 – What is your opinion on codfish?

 Hehehe. Those were fun to write! *strident evil laugh*

Now I wanna make a Mulan blog! Dammit! This is so excellent!
