OK! Time to get to know me a bit more, here are the next 10 weird questions
about me.
Q: What’s your
favourite accessory?
A: My engagement and wedding ring combo.
I LOVE them so much. My engagement ring is white gold and a solitary
diamond, very simple and classic. On the other hand, my wedding ring is a bit crazy: it’s a black tungsten Lord of the Rings wedding band. We wanted a film related ring and the must
fantastic one is by far The One Ring from LoTR, so we went with that idea, and
my husband’s favourite colour is black, so black it was. Inside it has an
inscription with our wedding date and the outside letters in the language of
Mordor are silver. It stands out and
shows our personality.
Q: What is making
you mad?
A: That I don’t have enough time with my husband.
Q: What did you have
for dinner today?
A: It’s early in the morning, so it’ll have to be yesterday’s dinner. I
had oat bran with yogurt and home made strawberry jam. De-li-cio-us!
Q: What did you get
done?
A: Our Halloween Party invitations.
This year’s design was based on Andrea Vesalius’ anatomy studies. It is called: L’Anatomie Macabre Présente:
la Nuit des Morts Vivants, AKA The Macabre Anatomy Presents: The Night of the
Living Dead. It’s quite radical, if I say so myself.

Q: Who last called
you on the phone?
A: My sister. We live in different cities and we try to chat almost every
day. It’s been almost 3 years since we last saw each other, so we Skype, talk
on the phone or chat as frequent as we can.
She is the only family I have left and we've always been good friends.
Q: Who are you in
love with?
A: Easy, my husband. I've been in
love with him for 17 years and it just grows every day. He is the best!
Q: The best part of
today was…
A: Doing something nice for myself. I woke up at 5 am to workout before
I leave for work, as I've been doing for the last 2 months. The first thing on
my schedule is me: I do a small workout before anything else happens and that
way I'm ready to tackle the day. In the
evening I do another workout before dinner and call it a day.
Q: My current favourite
website is…
A: Kikki K’s website! I just love it there. I would LOVE to buy more things for my
planner so I go there to drool all over their beautiful stationary, stickers, accessories
and more. Dear Santa, please bring me
this Christmas more Kikki K products!
Q: What was the
hardest thing you've ever had to deal with?
A: Uff, this is a tough one… not that I don’t know the most difficult
thing in my life, but it’s a tricky subject.
The worst in my life was my family.
I grew up in an environment full of psychological and emotional violence
and abuse, and sometimes, as a cherry on top, physical violence as well (I have
the scars to show). I never really knew
how bad it was, I just assumed everyone else was going through the same things
and we all pretended we were a perfect family when we were in public. It took me years and years to realize it wasn't normal and that it was not OK. In my country we are supposed to live with our
parents until we get married (especially women) and Universities don’t have
campuses or places to stay, because you are supposed to still live with your
parents. I couldn't afford school on my own, so I stayed with my parents until
I got my degree and then left to live alone. Even after that I kept seeing them, as it was my obligation, but 2 years and 7 months ago I had this big
conflict with them that was the last straw, the last thing to push me over the
edge and I broke contact with them for good.
It’s been a rough couple of years, not because I feel bad about stop
talking to them (oh, no… it’s the best thing I've ever done in my life) but it
was the time that took me to purge all the poison they left inside my mind. All
their hatred and loathing was introjected in my mind and became self-hate and self-loathing,
so I had to heal from the inside out and I believe I'm finally out of the
storm. It was hard but it was worth
it. If you are in an abusive
relationship, it doesn't matter who it is (parent, couple, children, work) step
away from it and never return. You deserve better.
Q: Today I wish I
had more…
A: Sleeping hours. I love sleeping until late, preferably after 10 am
but I can’t and I miss sleeping in.
OK, right in the middle of this!
I hope you find them interesting and you are more than welcomed to
answer the questions in the comment section.
