° More than one thing but more than everything the conformism of the anticonformism.

° This would be a looooong answer, I think.
I dunno, what I know is that Ireland is both very different and very similar to what you'd think of it from the outside, as a tourist or as a platonic lover.
I think, tbh, that the years of the Celtic Tiger were too much too quick and fudged the place up quite a bit.
I can develop the answer more, fi u want :P

° Too many, sob.
I am an otaku (all things Japan), love reading (sci-fi, fantasy, travel literature and history essays mostly), love plants and flowers, love to go to the movies, like my crafting, a love for fashion and silly new thingies (if I had money this would be less frustrating), traveling, nice nioms, foreign languages, some old style tv and the internet...for a start lol

° At 33 I am still not sure...history teacher, flower arranging designer, diplomat, silly fashion objects crafter.

° Hm, most of them, I suppose...I don't follow the star system much. It makes me a bit sick.

° Gosh, I dunno...I think I was in Ireland already so less than 2 years ago, I remember looking for infos online after seeing some pictures cause the mix of old fashioned and sci-fi really appealed to me...and I grew to love the idea behind it and the style in it.

° This is too difficult...maybe choosing just one I'd say Metallica.

° I was looking for infos on Ireland for my second trip here, than I didn't use boards for a long while and then when I went to live in Cork I started using it again out of feeling a bit lonely (I was living on one of the Aran Islands for 9 months before moving to Cork)...and it was indeed a fortunate idea.

° A 6/7 people beer in Cork, I can't be thankful enough for it.

° Hm, Absinthe ^_^

° I played piano as a kid and double-bass as a teenager...nowadays I don't think I'd be ale to play anything anymore...I'd like to play double-bass again, love love love the sound of it, makes me peaceful (although it's very tiring to play it if have small hands, uff).

° You didn't notice I looked...different?
And had a strange accent? lol

° Hm, we share a name (in fact it's Gio-vanni) and I think he is very funny in interviews and I like the fact that he is really honest, he is quite a legend in Italy...apart from that, I dunno if he is being a good coach for Ireland...what do u reckon?

° My boss is on holidays (rolls eyes to the ceiling), when she'll be back I'll ask for the 12th's night off...hopefully she'll say yes >_<'

° I was right now going trough what's on in Cineworld but dunno what to go and see (I have the unlimited card)...suggestions? Or was that an invitation? lol

Hi there girl ^_^

° I dunno, I feel like I have a lot to build and I just hope I am doing the right things towards it...too much information? lol

° I am a waitress. I am a bit ashamed of it, if I have to be honest...it's like life has gone backforward for me somehow under certain regards (long story) but then I try to remember all the story that brought me where I am now and it feels right so it's ok.

° I can cook enough, I suppose it's the italian gene.
Hm....Pasta al tonno? (Tuna+tomato sauce+garlic+onion+oregano+anchovies+capers+olives and if u want parmesan...generous amounts of this sauce on penne or spaghetti pasta...my mouth is watering lol)

° Being loved, being able to love, possibly both of them together.

° OMgosh....It's quite complicated...I wrote this a while ago...now I'd had to add...too bad they are not much in contact with they feelings...they wait to long to solve their issues...they are scared too easily. But the good points still stand:
http://tirabaralla.splinder.com/post/20239414/Irish+men+appreciation+society#20239414

° This is easy, yay, hazelnut!

° Tbh, it's quite a bunch of populistic demagogic shasse, if people don't have what to live of and the society makes u think that u need to be able to buy the last playstation before u can have a family...how do u expect to have good young adults? Italian society it's edonistic at a level u can difficultly imagine

But I suspect irish society it's getting there fast, anyway. Oh tempora, oh mores! (<-- I am a latin blabbing weirdo lol)

° Hm...Trieste, I think, I north-east Italy, very close to Slovenia and Austria borders...it's a place of beauty and history, bit like Florence but in a different way. And they have blue sea.

° They dunno what they are anymore.

° Lots! It's why I came here, u know LOL

° I think it's still "Dead Poets Society"

^_^

Errata corrige (more latin, see?):

My bf made me notice that the right word is "hypersensitive", I always confuse the sensitive/sensible stuff cause of the italian words for them!
Also, he made me notice I won't go to the cinema with Galva even if he happens to invite me LOL

° I can, I took my driving license at 20 and I started driving at 30, I was always too scared, for almost ten years, mebbe cause of a small episode in my childhood that used to come back in recurring dreams or mebbe cause I just was...It has been one of the biggest achievements in my life, driving!

° Aqua green. Also blue, greens and purples in general.

° Hulk. But somehow Superman as well ^_^

° Orange pear...
Emmm...seriously...probably watermelon.

° Nemesis comes from ancient greek with the meaning of "vengeance", I prefer that meaning...I suppose I am my own arch-nemesis. You are probably someone that could quite easily come in second place for that role ^_^

The visuals...I agre...the story I dunno...maybe it' also I started seeing it 3 times before finishing it, for different reasons... (TY for answering ^_^)

° A proper summer time, with at least 30 degrees and a sea where u can take a proper swim/bath lol

° "The Road" , was interesting and very sad...a kind of sad that doesn't even make u cry, it just sits on your shoulders and stays there for quite a long time.

° I don't buy music since a loooong time, I don't even listen to it as much as i used to, I suppose I am getting older, I don't need to go around with an mp3 player all the time anymore and I actually love silence...lol
This said...I think Damien Dempsey's "To hell or Barbados"...I really like it, in more than a way.

° Hm...book...I buy lots of those lol I tend to buy them second hand at times, cause I am poor, in bunches of 3 or for lol...but last one was "World of Warcraft and Philosophy", it was a present for the other half, but I plan on stealing it lol

° Yep...I think I have 2, Ray Bradbury (I love his style and his imagination) and Douglas Coupland (I love his deepness and his quirkiness).

Salutations ^_^

° I like them! I wish I had a nicer figure :P

° Quite raw, it's a tradition in Florence, la fiorentina

° Hmm....gosh...love, I think, of whatever kind.

° I'd prefer people to things. Btw, water, food, books.

° I started cause I was quite insomniac at that time, now luckily I am nomore but I still love the Nocturnal forum so I am gonna stay lol Also, I find it nerdy-gothic-metal-geeky enough and I like that ^_^

° I can't dance...but I will anyway ^_^ We can even dance now, if we both are bad who cares? I don't!

° "Aner o feugon kai palin makesetai" (ancient greek), a man who runs away will have to fight another time (I am thinking of a fourth tattoo with that sentence).

° I admire many people for different reasons, there are many things I wish I could learn from people, many qualities I wish I could borrow...at the same time I think we are all humans so I have no "myths", but I am religious so I admire Jesus and what he did.

Ciao ^_^

° Hm, I think I am not Nocturnal all the time, I suppose I am too mediterranean for that...I like to see both aspects in people, nocturnal and "diurnal"...together they make a fuller picture of their personality.

° Too much ^_^

° Aw, almost 2 years...2 years the 5th of March.

° I know numbers till 20,days of the week, usual greetings, some toponomastic names and a wee bit more, I used to know quite a bit more while living in gaeltacht, boo me for forgetting.

° Angry..."Turn the page", Cry..."Carry you home", Happy..."Pretty fly (for a white guy)" ...but I think they change often... I am quite emotional :P

° Probably Nutella and watermelon flavoured "Big Babol"

° Never tried, although I know what they are...Should I try them?

° Not much anymore, I must confess.

° In Ireland, they already won ^_^

° Hm...I don't think I have idols, tbh. I loved Kurt (Cobain) in my teen and twenties, cause I found I had a similar sensitiveness to him and in general I deeply admire people that are selfless.

Thanky ^_^

When is the rugby match next again?

° I dunno, sports' world it's pretty fudged up in general...maybe Gabriel Omar Batistuta.

° Swimming!

Thanky ^_^
