wellity well well.
it appears i have been tagged. albeit late, i shall accept the challenge to relay 20 random facts about myself.
1. my heart was broken a week ago saturday. in an e-mail. though it may look intact in this x-ray, keep in mind, the x-ray is from a month ago.
since then, it (my heart) has been reduced to splinters and crumbled junk.
2. i dislike watermelon. par contre, i enjoy watermelon FLAVOURED things like gum or candy, just not the fruit itself.
3. i have never ever set foot in the USA.
4. i was born during a football (uhm soccer) match between greece and the country of my origin, the former yugoslavia. the doctors were not overjoyed to miss the game and told my labouring mother to 'wait'.
5. sometimes i don't like being in france.
6. i have a rather bad cold right now, and am very sad (see 1. and 5.)
7. i had all saint's day (nov. 1st) off and went to the atlantic ocean with my landlord's son eric, who looks like uncle fester. my friend and co-worker from birmingham, anna, came with me. despite the cold, it was lovely. we ate oysters and mussels and salmon. i think oysters taste a bit like a certain male bodily fluid.
8. i am hoping to spend approx. 23 days with my family in hungary and the ex-yu during this holiday season. i must change my ticket. i am now going alone. sadness.
9. my feet are slightly deformed. actually, i am very asymmetric, in general.
10. though it has been 3 weeks since my last cigarette, i cheated a week ago. i walked anna home, while drunk, went into a bar and purchased a pack of cigarettes. went outside, opened the pack, and took one out. then, i place the pack on the table, got on my bike, and lit the cigarette. left the pack on the table. while riding my bike, i had a few puffs, nearly gagged, and threw the lit cigarette away. the most expensive drag of my life, that was.
11. this morning, i woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. it was a florist. sarah from canada had sent me a beautiful bouquet of white flowers. it was a very agreeable way to wake up.
12. i have a serious nut and dried fruit addiction. my current favourites are unshelled peanuts and figs.
13. i have broken my left arm twice, my nose once, and fingers and toes many many times.
14. i can speak, write, and read 4 languages fluently.
15. i don't want to be a teacher anymore.
16. i have absolutely no idea what i want to do with the rest of my life and it scares me to have to even think about making decisions regarding this.
17. if i were an sg, my name would be 'mimosa'.
18. though i have celiac's disease, i cheat and eat wheat, oat, rye, or barley containing food stuffs fairly often. nothing obvious, like a sandwich. but chocolate, for example, that has malt (from barley) in it.
19. the last thing i ate was a galette de mais (corn cake - much like one of those horrible rice cakes) with confiture de marron (chestnut spread?).
20. i have slept with three men whose initials are E.W.
satisfactory fact factory? i hope so.
here are some atlantic french coast pictures.
oh. and here's a couple from this weekend.
monique came to visit me from marseille
in bordeaux by city hall.

stein:
this is my first visit to sg in over four months and i couldn't help but to stop by. it's good to see you again even though it's still oh-so 2D. i miss our dialouge. i get less articulate with every passing moment since we last wrote. you just have that effect on people.
pihka:
I want to go to Paris or Firenze or Venice. Or Bruxelles, to be more precise. Somewhere thats not here, at any rate.
