I was tagged by kathadrion. Sorry it had to take so long, I... eh... well, I got to it now! ;)
1. Are you happy with your life the way it is right now?
That's… a really hard question. I'm not happy with the way it is in the sense that I don't want my life to stay this way - I have no job, no partner, no prospects for my future after New Year's. But I'm doing much better than I was a couple months back, on the road to a better place and trying to make changes, and so given the circumstances I'm happy I'm on that road, at least. But I do need to keep moving, I don't want to stay here.
2. What’s your favorite day of the week? Why?
Oh god I have NO idea. I'm unemployed and on sick leave, so my life has little structure now, which means any day is more or less the same for me. So… let's make it Monday, because then I can watch Sunday's new OUAT ;).
3. What’s the last book you read?
You're lucky, I just got back from a weekend away so I finished Good Omens (Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman) there, and I'm currently reading Zeven Dagen Zonder ('Seven days without', Monika Peetz) and De Engelenmaker ('The Angel Maker', Stefan Brijs)
4. Would you want to be a celebrity, if you had the choice?
Tricky one :p. But I've thought long and hard about this, and I'm gonna say yes. Because it still opens doors, and gives you unique opportunities. Your life will of course not be yours completely anymore, but I've never been a very private person to start with, and if I look at Chris Colfer or Darren Criss, whose private lives we know relatively little about, I think I could live with that. Plus, I really want to do Dancing With The Stars.
5. Do you believe in karma?
Yes (I'm interpreting this as 'if you do good to other people, they will do good to you', not sure if there's other interpretations but I feel everyone has their own version of these concepts). That's not to say the world is fair, and you'll always be treated right if you treat others right, or no bad things are going to happen to you if you do. But if you go around being an asshole, no one's gonna show up on your doorstep with soup when you're sick even if you've won the lottery.
6. Do you save money or spend money?
Save. Well, spend, now, since my unemployment fee isn't sufficient to cover my expenses, but I'm a saver. I'm Belgian. First thing you get when you're born in Belgium is a savings account (I'm serious here) so there's no escaping it really. I was born this way! (that's not to say I won't spend it on something I think is worth it. but it's gotta be worth it.)
7. Your favorite quote?
Check my quote or life lessons tag! :D No… eh… I gotta find something good here…
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.
I really like that one at this stage of my life.
8. What’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?
My house. No question about it :D.
9. What do you usually have for breakfast?
I really like oatmeal with brown sugar? But it depends… currently the goal is just to have breakfast ;).
10. What type of weather do you prefer?
Cooooooooold! Snow. I love snow. And I love cold. Actually I don't like cold, but I can't stand heat. But I do love snow.
11. Do you think a person has to love their parents and/or their children? Why/why not?
I don't think you have to love your parents. I don't think you have to love anyone. It kind of feels wrong to say, especially with parents towards their children, but you can't really force anyone to love someone else, can you? That doesn't mean you don't have to respect your parents, or parents don't have the duty to take care of their children - because both of those things are still true. But you can't and you shouldn't force *love*.
All right! So now I need to find 11 other questions, and tag 11 other people, right?
