time for another Ten On Tuesday post! You can link up here.
1. When I was a teenager I named my cat after Spike from Buffy. Spike is one of my favorite characters from the show and my cat was even more awesome. Loved (and still love) that little guy so much.
2. I am absolutely in love with these shoes from Alternative Outfitters. Aren't they adorable? They are vegan and absolutely perfect. I would loooove to own them.
3. My childhood hero is Pippi Longstockings (Pippi Langrstrumpf in German). I mean, she rocks because: she has her own house, a horse and a monkey, she is independent, her dad is a pirate and she is super strong. I have always wanted to be like her.
4. I need to write down notes for everything. I forget things. And I am old school. So I use paper and pen.
5. I got a couple of new books and I want to read all of them at the same time: some crime novels by Ian Rankin, Kathy Reichs and Arne Dahl, The know-it-all and a book about Ireland.
6. My latest food addiction are watermelons. I can't get enough of them. I eat them with the seeds because it is too much work not to. The problem is that I always call them "waterlemons" and I have no idea why.
7. I love to fall asleep while I watch a show or a movie. I don't know why but it feels very comfortable.
8. I still own my first stuffed animals and I love them so much. One of them is a bear which I got from my Mom. She already owned him as a child. And the other one is a donkey named "Esel" (which means donkey in German). When I had to go to the hospital as a child, he always went with me.
9. I also still own this train-thingy. I really had a fun time as a child. I love to look at old pictures.
10. I love to wake up in the middle of the night and realize that I can fall back asleep and don't have to get up.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
#10 is really the best feeling. And you were just an adorable kid!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Alex!
DeleteI love those shoes AND Pippi Longstocking. I totally wanted to be her too! :-)
ReplyDeleteShe is so awesome!
DeleteSo funny story, I can't eat watermelons because they get me drunk!! Crazy I know :)
ReplyDeleteI think Pippi is a great role model for a child! I am pretty sure I wanted to be She-ra or something.
They get you drunk? That really sounds crazy! :) I have never heard about that. How is that possible?
DeleteOh yeah, She-ra is awesome too!
I don't know, I think its some kind of allergic reaction but I get lightheaded and giggly and my face goes really really red.
DeleteThat really sounds like a weird allergic reaction! I hope you don't like watermelons too much!
Deletewatermelons are my favorite!! yummm!

You're not the only pen and paper gal--I have paper notes everywhere, and I keep notepads in my purse and bedside table so I can write things down before I forget! Nothing wrong with old-school. :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, glad you agree. Sometimes it just has to be old-school!
Delete1. Aw, so cute! I never actually finished that entire show.
ReplyDelete2. As bad ass as these are (and I want them), this takes the title of "crazy cat lady" to a whole new level haha.
4. Me too. I actually carry around a little notepad in my purse so I can jot things down before I forgot. Its sad how bad my memory's getting.
6. Ha, that's so cute!
10. You're nuts, girl. I absolutely hate it when that happens. Mostly I think cause I have to be up for work at 3am :/
1. Me neither. I think I have missed the last two seasons but at some point I need to catch up!
Delete2. Hehe, yeah it does. Love them.
4. I am so glad I am not the only one.
6. Glad you think it is cute!
10. Oh no, that really sucks a lot!
I still have my bear that I got when I was two. It's in my closet where it's safe from little hands and paws!!! I like to write notes on paper too. I've tried using the note app on my phone and then prompt;y forget about it. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool that you still have your bear! That is awesome!
DeleteI have tried an app too but it just does not work for me.
I love the last one! absolutely love the feeling of waking up, checking the clock, and seeing that I have hours left!
ReplyDeletethose shoes are amazing! if you get a pair, get two and send one here :)
Such a good feeling!
DeleteHaha, yeah, I hope I can get these!
Spike was my favorite! He wanted to be so bad all the time that it was adorable. And Pippi... well nobody is as cool as Pippi! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, nobody is as cool as Pippi! And yeah, Spike is so adorable! I love to see him!
