All right, at morgalou's request it's now my turn to continue the noble tradition and reveal 5 random things about myself. Like I hadn't done so in every post since I began blogging ;)

1) I can't concentrate on one thing at the time. If I start reading one book, I have to have another one nearby in case I loose interest in the first one. I surf on the internet and watch telly at the same time. Cleaning a 24 square meter apartment takes me the whole day because I get these brilliant ideas of doing something completely different every 30 minutes.

2) I'm turning out to be surprisingly picky when it comes to dogs (which I will get when I have any regularity in my life and incomes, which I don't expect to happen until after a couple of years).
- Absolutely no retrievers, I can't stand the constant worshipping
- No miniature dogs, or giant ones
- No couch potatoes, nor do I seek a 100% working dog which will destroy the world if it doesn't have something meaningful to do all the time
- No dogs which aren't in control of their instincts
- I want an intelligent dog which, while easily trained, can use its own brain (I'm well aware that they can use their brain to destroy the world if they don't have the sufficient mental stimulation). I also want a dog loyal to their owner and prone to guarding.
I'm slowly narrowing down with all the choices, and currently Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Dogue de Bordeaux, Dogo Argentino, and the ordinary Doberman are the ones holding my interest. Who knows, I might end up with a Chihuahua...

3) I'm prone to impulse shopping. I don't shop much, but when I do I usually end up dragging home more or completely different stuff than I originally meant to get. Like the other day I went out to buy myself some sturdy, sensible winter boots. However, when I got home I found myself to be an owner of a pair of calf-length, high-heeled, black suede boots which when worn with jeans makes my legs look about 10 meters longer. As people around me might have noticed, I also buy more CDs than strictly necessary.

4) I have some weird habits, though I'd like to see who doesn't. Like, I can't leave home without checking that the stove is not on (even if I hadn't used it all day) and that the coffee maker and the toaster are unplugged. Also, when I leave the apartment for longer periods of time, I unplug everything except the fridge and the filter in the fish tank which I would unplug too if I could get away with it. I fear they might set my home in fire if they are left unsupervised. Embarrassing, I know.

5) I still sometimes dream of flying to space. Ever since I saw the Sandmännchen flying away in his little rocket when I was a wee little toddler (I was such a fan of him!) I've wanted to go up there too. My mother has more than once wondered where I got my genes, she prefers holding her feet firmly on the ground.


So there. Five totally random things which were surprisingly difficult to come up with. Elina and Miti, you're next!
