I suppose I like Pentecost the least Helene Send a noteboard - 05/07/2010 10:47:24 AM
because I always forget what it's about. Of course, having the day off is still nice.

Other than that, I really hated the 3rd of October in Leiden, "Leids Ontzet", a celebration of Leiden throwing out the Spanish in 1574. It's full of very expensive carnival rides, people selling crap and lots of angry drunk people.

2. How have you been?


I've been quite alright.

3. Would you ever move (permanently) to a place you had never seen or visited before?


Not voluntarily. But if the situation arose where I was somehow forced, sure.

4. How do you feel about lapsed friendships - something that can always be revived, or a sign that loyalty is missing? If the latter, how long before you call it quits on the relationship?


It can be both. It's possible to revive friendships, but it tends to require effort from both sides. The reason for it being lapsed can also come into play.

5. Can exes ever really be friends?


Not all exes can, but of course it's possible.

6. What is your favorite summer food?


Melon.

7. Do you know how to drive a manual car? What country are you from?


Yes. It's not that hard, although yes, it's more difficult than an automatic. I am from the Netherlands.

8. What's the scariest driving experience you've ever had?


The first time I drove on the high way after getting my driver's license, I was driving a very heavy car as I was moving that day. There was a big truck to my right and I look toward it. So I started steering toward it. When I noticed my mistake, I went back to the middle of my lane. It's not terribly scary, but it's the only thing that sprang to mind when thinking of scary driving experiences.

9. What's the longest (most driving hours per day) road trip you've ever done?


I've driven in one go, longest, I suppose 7 hours? We don't tend to like driving too much in one day (as in me and Vincent).

10. Do you have any books or pieces of literature you reread yearly (or according to some other sort of schedule)? What are they?


I have a couple of books that I reread with some frequency. They give a mood, so when I want that mood, I'll pick up those books.

Other news with me - am planning to set out for my new home in WA, bright and early Tuesday morning. It will be a long drive, and I don't entirely know where I'll end up. I hope it will be nice.


What will you be doing in WA?
