11 Random Facts About Me

1. I love chocolate so much, yet I can not eat dark chocolate.

11 Q’s from Kayte!

1. What’s your computer desktop wallpaper a picture of?

-Fur Girl, the gorgeous painting by Mark Ryden.

2. How many pillows do you sleep with?

-Only one. Growing up I always had two though.

3. Who was your first love?

-When I was five, this one kid was nuts for me and actually picked out a ring for me at the dentist. I mercilessly traded it for another one, so we can assume it wasn't that serious;)

4. If you could fly, where would be the first place you would go?

-Something with a huge gate around it that I otherwise couldn't get in to. Perhaps the pyramids?

5. What’s your favorite love song?

-This is gonna sound wrong, but..."Your Body is a Wonderland" by John Mayer. I love that song, especially the acoustic version.

6.  Have you ever gone to the movies alone?

-All the time! Yet, again this doesn't sound good, does it? Anyway, I often want to see these obscure art house films and if I can't think of anyone who would like to go too, I just go by myself.

7. If you could only eat one food for a year, what food would it be?

-Blueberries. They seem like a healthy choice and their really tasty.

8. Do you have a signature piece of jewelry?

-It changes. Currently I wear this little silver necklace I bought in France a lot.

9. What’s the first website you visit every day?

-My mailbox, then Blogger, then Etsy.

10. What is your opinion on tattoos?

-I think anyone is free to get one. Personally I like the look of some a lot, but doubt I'd ever go there myself.

11. What’s your favorite charity, and why do you support it.

-Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand. After seeing this heartbreaking yet inspiring episode of Simon Cowell's Wildlife SOS, I was just in awe of the things this fellow Dutchie does there. Edwin Wiek was there on a holiday when some tourists had bought a monkey to save it yet didn't know what to do with it. From there on he built this entire organization, for all sorts of animals, including elephants that are being treated horribly. It's quite a dangerous thing to do, yet he devotes his life to it.

11 Q’s from me!

1. What is your earliest childhood memory?

2. Did you ever eat or drink anything in the store and paid for it later, instead of the other way around?

4. What would the title of your biography be called?

5. If you could be anyone else for one day, who would you pick?
