1000 questions~! (part 1)

So in the Netherlands (where I live) is a magazine called Flow. I really like to read this magazine for its articles, quirky/mellow style, artwork, creativity... and everything else it is.
In the latest edition there is a little book with 1000 questions you can ask yourself so I thought. Well I want to blog anyway, but don't really feel inspired to write an about me section. (Maybe I'll do in a future?)
So in this section I will respond to the 1000 questions. I have decided to go with 1 or 2 pages, that makes 14 to 28 questions per part. Because a 1000 at once is a little bit overwhelming...
I am not even sure if I can answer them all...

1. Who can you get along with best?
 In my family my sister, parents, cousins. Also some wonderful friends in my life who aren't family.
I wish I could get along with my brothers and nephew a little bit better the older one +nephew lives really far away and the younger one is a little bit closed in his own world. Partly due to autism. I still love them all a lot.
+ Now that I think about it there are more people I'd like to know better...


2. What do you spend too much time on?
 the INTERNET ... need to say more? *hides*

3. Which jokes make you laugh out loud often?
Spontaneous, funny ones. Can't really tell... plus it also depends on my mood.

4. When did you last do something for the first time?
Small things probably daily or weekly in some sort of way? Something big would be 3 years ago already when I traveled to the United States alone. It was the fist time I traveled that far + first time flying in a big airplane (did fly as a passenger in a small 4 person sized one as a child once).

5. Do you cry easily in the presence of others?
 I used to cry so often as a child. I think because the world was too much and overwhelming for me sometimes. I am actually very sensitive.
Still growing up and having less stress lately, taking things a little bit more easy in this period of my life I don't cry often... as for crying with others around I'm sometimes scared that it would be seen as childish or weak.


6. What does your breakfast look like?
Depends on how much time I have and my mood for what I wish to eat that day. So on a good day it is often some sort of flakes or something you mix with milk. I also like porridge. Sometimes I prefer bread with something on it. Sometimes it needs to go fast and then I'm unhealthy with some milk and cookies.

7. Who did you give a kiss last?
Papa on his cheek. Because you're never too old to kiss the cheeks of your parents. Plus he is an awesome father to me.

8. In what do you look like your mother?
In looks and partly also personality a little bit here and there although we're both different in other ways too.

9. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
I think of what to do this day. What has to be done and what can I do... Then breakfast and washing/dressing myself.

10. Are you good at reading aloud?
Umm sometimes? I would say I'm not the best at it, but it works. I prefer to read silently in my mind.

11. Until what age did you believe in Sinterklaas?
Until the year that I was 9 years old. Then I kind of noticed; "oh hey the sweets we get placed in our shoe is the same that papa and mama buy at the supermarket."
I then confronted my mother; "Mama I kind of think you and papa give put the sweets in our shoes and the presents on pakjesavond (giftsevening). Is this true?"
She smiled that smile that she has when something is true but doesn't want to talk about. I was then so annoyed that I told my 6 year old sister that all wasn't true.
I never believed in Santaclaus -the American Sinterklaas (or German Weihnachtsmann) I thought he was just a fake imposter.

12. What would you still like to buy?
If I had the money... A house for myself~! Otherwise something more simple; I really want to buy some fabrics or materials to make a messengerbag for myself.

13. Which personal characteristic would you like to have?
Something that helps me focus and concentrate on more important stuff more... That would be helpful in some ways.

14. What is your favourite television programme?
At this moment; Doctor Who. It has a lot of moments that I could have thought of myself storywise... actually it even has some aspects that I had thought of storywise before already. Like for example the Thomas Thomas thing... When I saw that it was a mix of brilliant and boo I had something like that on my mind too~!


This concludes the first part of 1000 questions to answer.
