HODGEPODGE NOVEMBER 20

 1. What was your favorite part about growing up in your hometown ?  

I grew up in Bonn which had been the capital of Germany from 1949 until 1990 when after the fall of the wall Berlin became the capital again. What I loved ? My freedom, we could ran around outside the whole day, inspect the ruins (Bonn was to 80 % destroyed) and the basements, found old toys and nobody payed attention, the parents had enough to do to find food and built up their houses.

 2. Do you prefer 'material' gifts or 'experience' gifts? If you answered experience, tell us about one you've received and truly enjoyed. 

Without hesitation I prefer experience gifts ! I prefer a contribution to a long travel or a beauty salon, or a musical everything which is adventurous. 

3. Is brown a color featured prominently in your home decor? Your wardrobe? What's a favorite brown thing you own? Of the brown foods listed here which one is your favorite and/or most often consumed... brown sugar, brown rice, pretzels, coffee, dates, cloves, German chocolate cake, whole wheat bread?

Brown is a boring color and refers to not very clean things. I never would wear brown, furniture has to have a natural color and not dark. As food I would prefer pretzels and coffee but black one. 

4. Which 'Charlie Brown' character do you relate to most? If you're not sure, you can take a fun quick quiz by clicking here-Which Charlie Brown Character Are You?  or the one found here-Charlie Brown Quiz. I got the same answer on both. 

I only know the name "Charlie Brown" but have never read something and don't know at all its personality. But the result of the Quiz was quite right 

5. What's a favorite item you've purchased this year? 

I had to buy so many things for my room and for my life here in "my" castle that I really don't know what. First I had to buy clothes because the ones I had were far too warm, the rooms are all heated to at least 24°C which in a normal household would be far too much and cost a fortune. I was not angry, that I had to change my clothes, I enjoyed the fact to have new feathers ! 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I have one thought which makes me really angry and allergic against Christmas ! We are just in the middle of November and lots of shops and shopping malls are already decorated for Christmas ! I am sure that when Christmas is finally there, I can't rock around the Christmas tree anymore. I will start with Easter bunnies, when I put the Christmas decoration away !
