I found this lovely article on the New York Times about "The 36 Questions That Lead to Love" since I'm single I found it very interesting so I've decided to answer some of the questions to see if any of you fall in love ;) -aka nice, out of the closet, round my age guys apply here-.
If you'd like to read the article, please find it on the link below.
1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
I'd love the chance to dine with Cameron Diaz, she has been my favourite actress since... well always actually!
2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?
Of course it would be nice to become famous due to the recognition of my work or my contributions to the world. Basically I would love to be "Nobel Price Famous" but not "Kim Kardashian Famous" if you know what I mean.
3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?
No, I don't. I actually go with my gut, just follow my instinct. If I rehearse it makes me feel like is something complicated (otherwise I would not be rehearsing, right?) and that makes me nervous.
4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
I'd wake up very early from a great night sleep and without an alarm. Have a lot of nice fresh water, breakfast and morning sex. Then a shower, and breakfast again.
It would probably be just a chilled, relaxed day. Perhaps going to the beach would be nice and lie under the sun with a book and a snack!
Add some working out, a good movie, some work done, adding some extra pages for my book, and having my lemony salmon with a salad for lunch,.. and I'd be happy, happy.

And to finish off the day, an early dinner with my friends with a lot of good conversation and extra laughter!
5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
I sing, literally, every other five minutes of every single day,. Everywhere; at work, on the bus, in the shower, on my way home, while cooking... you name it!
6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
Why not both? But if I have to chose I guess probably the body, because if you have a healthy young brain... I believe my mind would be fine too... Right?
7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
No I don't, I don't really think of death much to be fair, hahahaha
9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
Life itself. But specially that I have been born in Europe and not in some fucked up place like North Korea...
10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
I would definitely add more discipline, not too much, but more.
12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?
Healing powers.
13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?
I would ask it to tell me what I am supposed to know, and what would be beneficial to me and others.
14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?
I'm want to write a book, still working on it. And I want to start a family and get a nice, eco-friendly house with a big garden!
15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
Healing powers.

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

17. What is your most treasured memory?

18. What is your most terrible memory?

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?
Yes, I would stop investing time and effort in all my long term projects and I'd go a bit nuts!
20. What does friendship mean to you?
Friendship is acceptance without judgement, is being able to share your secrets.
21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?
As Lloyd Irving would say; Kindness and Love always win! So they play a pretty important role.
23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?
I think I am very lucky to have the family I have got, of course not everything is pink flowers, but I would not change them for the world! Yes, I think mine was a happy childhood with a lot of freedom.
24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?
I feel that I can tell anything to her, so pretty good I guess.

29. Share with your partner an embarrassing moment in your life.
I was around ten, and I had a faecal incident (aka I shitted my pants) and I thought I could put it back in, and poop it out in the toilet. My grandma could not believe it!

Watching Annie with my younger sister.

Delicate subjects like racism, homophobia, sexism, terminal illnesses...

I would not regret anything,
34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?
Definitely the "magic notebooks" my sisters and I wrote as kids, those notebooks are irreplaceable.
