In this episode, I am supposed to cross out what does not apply for my month. Buuuut, being the rebel that I am, I will just comment on each one, like the Lemming did when she tagged me. Because we all know that astro-signs are real, and determine our lifestles and personal traits beyond any other criteria. Again, people in my blogroll should take it upon themselves to do this and link themselves from here via a comment, and people not in by blogroll should get a blog, as i hear it’s going out of style, so they’ll be retro if they do. Also, prepare to scroll as November is towards the bottom.

NOVEMBER:

Has a lot of ideas.
Yeah, but they just go to waste, mostly.

Difficult to fathom.
What’s a fathom? Well, it’s said that us scorpios are a difficult people. If only people would fathom us more…

Thinks forward.
Yeah. Actually, too much so. Sort of always preparing for the future, some time in the near future when I will actually do something about something.

Unique and brilliant.
Who am I to say? Yeah, sure, I guess. The Internet did say I have an IQ of 140. Unique is overrated, kind of like Apple computers.

Extraordinary ideas.
Yeah, but they just go to waste, mostly. Department of Redundancy Department.

Sharp thinking.
Well, i recently cut my hair, so maybe that reffers to the new hairstyle. Beyond that, I doubt one can really evaluate.

Fine and strong clairvoyance.
That Clarvoyance is so fine! Well, anyway, it’s useless, because nobody ever believes me.

Can become good doctors.
And I’m supposed to know this how? I’m an engineer, for crying out loud! I work in an Internet factory.

Dynamic in personality.
It’s good that my personality is dynamic, because i’m too lazy to be dynamic myself.

Secretive.
I can keep secrets. I do if i have to. I’d rather not. So I vote NO!

Inquisitive.
Oh, yes. That is so me… It’s like they know me. How do they? What do they think of my blog? How did they find out about it?

Knows how to dig secrets.
I have found that the phrase “well, you don’t have to tell me, but if you want to talk about it…” yelds a lot of confessions. Beyond that, one needs nipple clamps.

Always thinking.
Rarely doing

Less talkative but amiable.
Not lately. But people do like me for some reason. Maybe it’s my dynamic personality.

Brave and generous.
I once defied the English to save England from the English. I’d be a lot braver, were I not so afraid of pain.

Patient.
This one is tough. I am patient with people, and i will wait for weeks and months for stuff. But I can’t wait or five-minute intervals, surprisingly enough.

Stubborn and hard-hearted.
I guess I’m stubborn, but that has more to do with upholding principles. My heart is a rock.

Determined.
Sometimes.

Never give up.
Seldomly give[s] up, does so reluctantly.

Hardly becomes angry unless provoked.
Kind of, yes. But you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

Loves to be alone.
No, not really. Well, sometimes I need to be alone, but i doubt that counts. A loner I am not.

Thinks differently from others.
In a way. I mean, I use associations, abstract thought and intuition as much as the next person. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

Sharp-minded.
Funny. Again, because of the hair, maybe.

Motivates oneself.
I don’t like to talk about it… Oh, “Motivates”! I thought you said something else. On second thought, it’s the same thing, kind of.

Does not appreciate praises.
Well, if they’re delivered properly. Just like criticism except, you know, with more joy.

High-spirited.
Not in the morning, I’m not.

Well-built and tough.
I’m a lean, mean, coding machine.

Deep love and emotions.
Deep love, sometimes. Deep emoticons every time.

Romantic.
Did I mention emoticons? But sometimes, yes. More than I like to admit.

Uncertain in relationships.
Maybe… I’m not sure.

Homely.
Depending on the meaning, no. Just plain homely no.

Hardworking.
On side quests.

High abilities.
No abilities whatsoever when high. I can do pretty authentic accents, maybe, but that’s about it.

Trustworthy.
Surprisingly enough, yes. Or so I’ve come to deduce.

Honest and keeps secrets.
Aside from this description colliding with itself? Sure, why not?

Not able to control emotions.
Usually, I control them just fine. Other times I decide it’s not really worth it. But after that, it feels just plain wrong

Unpredictable.
I like to be.

DECEMBER:
Loyal and generous. Sexy. Patriotic. Active in games and interactions. Impatient and hasty. Ambitious. Influential in organizations. Fun to be with. Loves to socialize. Loves praises. Loves attention. Loves to be loved. Honest and trustworthy. Not pretending. Short tempered. Changing personality. Not egotistic. Take high pride in oneself. Hates restrictions. Loves to joke. Good sense of humor. Logical.

So, from the “Let us get better aquainted to the evil blogger” series, the “Seven things that scare me” meme. (meme esti tu, bai Lemming! etc. )

• Dismemberment (of self)
• Pysical pain (for self or others)
• The ‘hood badasses
• Dogs (due to childhood trauma)
• The possibility of breaking stuff
• Debt
• People (sometimes, when they sneak up on me and go “boo!” like this one time in band camp)

Kind of scraping the barrel there, not a lot of fears. Wich is either good, or means I’m repressing my true fears.

Seven things I like the most

• Laughing
• Calling bluffs (and thwarting evil plans)
• Cartoons
• Losing myself in the experience (e.g when listening to music, watching a cartoon, others)
• Going back to sleep if it’s Saturday or even too early to go to work
• Technology towards comfort (wireless stuff for example; or Gmail)
• Symbols (logos, fonts, icons, avatars, etc)

Seven important things in my room

• My camera
• My computer and the Internet (soooo geeky)
• My trusty backpack (well, not one in particular, just the current trusty backpack)
• Whatever T-shirt is my favourite T-shirt at the time
• The british flag on my ceiling (it hides the ghastly hole in my ceiling)
• My lava-lamp
• Did I mention my computer? Well, I have two.

In my defence, I don’t have a lot of stuff in my room; also, I don’t spend a lot of time at home

Seven random facts about me

• I watch movies several times. I watch scenes several times. I listen to songs several times. You get the picture.
• I fidget; also, I chew stuff
• I’m a slow eater
• I think I have a mild form of either ADD or OCD, but I probably have none, so that means I have a mild form of ipochondry. I forget which one, because I only remember useless stuff.
• My handwriting is… well, I’d rather type, and trust me, you as well would rather I type
• I should wear my glasses, but I do without
• I like to play with fire (literally)

Seven things I plan to do before I die

• live
• learn
• understand
• write something relevant
• change the world through my business
• shave my head
• play guitar

… not in that particular order

Seven things I can do

• write (there’s a difference between “I don’t” and “I can’t”)
• code (there’s a difference between “I do” and “I like to” )
• design (sadly, there’s also a difference between “I can” and “I can do it well”)
• teach
• hold a grudge
• forgive
• issue realistic non-apology apologies

Seven things I can’t do

• lie convincingly
• just let it go and stop bringing it up
• wait
• take criticism if not delivered with diplomacy
• draw
• sleep
• fake concern; not a lot of genuine concern, for that matter

Seven things on someone that catch my attention (besides cleavage)

• voice
• a certain spark in someone’s eye, hard to describe, but sometimes there’s a moment, and we both know it
• vocabulary
• style
• kindness
• sence of humour
• knowledge

Seven things I say the most; wel, that varies, because I borrow a lot of catchphrases; I’ll just go with things I say often:

• “like I said before…”
• “hence…” (sometimes actually in English)
• “[somethong], bro!”
• “I see how one may come to think that, but…”
• “not really, no” (actually in English)
• “What the hell?” (and others of the sort)
• “… maybe it’s just me, but…”

Seven Celebrity crushes

Sadly, I shall have to pass on this one, as there were none. Maybe if I met someone in real life… Or got a TV…

Seven people i want to take the test

Well, I’not going to call names, but people in my blogroll can do this and post a comment. So there! That’s more than seven. Happy now, Internet?

Also, there are two parts to this, so get ready for part two somewhere between tomorrow and next month.

Nu voiam să dau o așa de mare importanță încât să postez aici, dar ai decis să mă reduci la tăcere, și asta m-a umplut de lacrimi. Mai erau unii care procedau așa, însă credeam că au dispărut în ’89. Aș fi înțeles să te superi dacă aș fi exprimat altceva decât parerea mea, sau aș fi exprimat-o altfel decât civilizat. Asta e, nu ne-am putut înțelege, sunt la fel de trist ca și tine din cauza asta. Parcă văd că o să îmi respingi și cererea de prietenie de pe hi5.

“Oricum, poliţia este cu noi. Mititelele ştiu că plângerile lor n-ar avea nici o urmare, în schimb represaliile ar fi necruţătoare. Odată, una din victimele mele a vrut să mă atace în justiţie. Câteva telefoane au fost suficiente pentru a o descuraja.”

Ştiu că sună a literatură de buzunar când o scoţi din context. Beigbeder este însă un mare cool. Vă recomand cam tot ce a scris, dar în special 199.000 (19.9 RON? ), o carte cu şi despre publicitate, plină de revelaţii şi vorbe de duh. Ştie francejii eştia ce face, dom’le!

Aşadar, Ştefan, Dan, Rafaela, Diana, Denisa: Luaţi cartea care este cea mai apropiată de voi în acest moment, deschideţi la pagina 123, şi transcrieţi pe blog frazele 4-9. Adică de la a 4-a la a 9-a. Fiţi drăguţi şi nu trişaţi alegând din bibliotecă o carte foarte cool pe care o păstraţi de multă vreme ca să vă daţi mari cu ea.

Standardele duble
Oamenii cu păreri despre orice
Afirmaţiile voit interpretabile (o să detaliez într-un entry viitor)

Taximetriştii cu 7RON/km
Locurile cu pretenţii de lux care vor de fapt doar să stoarcă bani de la clienţi
Prejudecăţi şi etichete
Presa de scandal
Spiritul corporatist “hai să impingem hârtii în loc să ne vedem de treabă”
Superficialitatea

Oameni care îşi dau importanţă pentru că simt că de fapt n-au

Momentan nu îmi mai vine altceva în minte, deci probabil că acestea sunt spuse sub influenţa momentului. Dar sunt chestii care ma enervează. Vă doresc extraveral!

Cum spuneam mai sus, tocmai mă plângeam că nu am despre ce să scriu, că fix a doua zi după ce am scremut un entry mediocru mi-a venit geniala idee să ma plimb şi pe blogurile altora. Astfel am dat peste acest entry. Aşa cum este indicat, I have been tagged şi trebuie sa scriu intr-un paragraf despre o carte care mi-a plăcut.

Marele meu noroc şade tocmai în lipsa mea de cultură, respectiv în numărul mic de cărţi între care va trebui să aleg. Am citit acum vreo 3 luni “Choke” de Chuck Palahniuk. Pentru aceia dintre voi care nu stiti, Chuck P. a scris Fight Club, cartea după care s-a facut celebrul film cu care vă tot bat la cap. Dar să incepem paragraful.

“Choke” surprinde câteva săptămâni din viaţa unui obsedat sexual care suportă lipsuri şi umilinţe pentru a-şi putea îngriji mama bolnavă. Mi-a plăcut felul în care simbolurile ies în evidenţă, dar sunt imposibil de transformat în idei în acel context, obligând cititorul să aştepte explicarea acestora. Mi-a plăcut abordarea neconvenţională, aşa cum mi-a plăcut şi stilul unic (din câte ştiu eu, cel puţin) în care scrie Chuck. Mi-a plăcut că m-a făcut să o citesc într-o singură noapte.

Alti 3 oameni pe care să îi osândesc la aşa ceva nu voi numi, căci risc să nu fiu luat în serios, şi risc să creez un platou de (3) mere ale discordiei. Le voi mulţumi foarte mult celor care vor să îmi facă pe plac, şi îi voi ruga să mă anunţe via comments. Ah, cât de organizatoric sunt! Ah, ce comentariu gay am făcut. I’m not gay! Mi s-a stricat tasta backspace, in schimb.
