Heut kommt was in Englisch - 5 things about me

Today's blog post had to be written in English because Maja, who invited me to a little game, has an English blog. In order to let her readers understand this post as well I decided for switching the language once. Ich geh frecherweise einfach mal davon aus, dass meine Leser das alle verstehen. Falls es Probleme gibt, bitte laut schreien!

A couple of weeks ago said Maja tagged me in a little game. Our name is not the only thing we share: Maja's living in Regensburg (which I did for the first two years of my study), she has a Dutch boyfriend (so did I), speaks Dutch (me too) and is moving to Hamburg shortly, which has been my hometown for the last 14 years.

I'll meet her in real life next month and I'm already very much looking forward to it! Ik wens je een hele fijne tijd in Amsterdam, lieve Maja! Tot gauw!

Here it goes. Maja has asked me to tell her and you the following five secrets about myself.

5 things you didn't {want to} know about me

1. I'm wearing socks in bed almost all year. Only the really warm nights in July or August are made for my feet not getting too cold without socks. My boyfriend learned to live with it ;)

2. Since my early childhood days I'm making a mess of the rooms I live in. I still insist in being a very organised person though, as the mess makes me feel really uncomfortable. I'm dreaming of the day when I have enough space to give all my belongings their distinct place in my house. Or should I just part with a couple of things?

3. Even if I love cooking and baking and one of my favourite pastimes is entertaining friends at home, I hate hate hate doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen. Sometimes I skip cooking and eat sandwiches instead only to avoid having to clean any pots and pans afterwards.

4. I'm awfully sensitive to noise. Depending on how stressed I am it can happen that I scream at my boyfriend for making any noise I believe is superfluous at that point.

5. I'm a very unconfident person. There's a lot of situations I feel awkward about, even when meeting or talking to friends or family. Nevertheless there's quite a few things I know I do well, like cooking, baking, proofreading, decorating, dog training, learning languages, car riding and entertaining.

Die schönste Hochzeit mit der schönsten Braut!

That's me :) Thanks for asking, Maja!

I'd like to pass on the game to the following 5 girls:
- the creative Nora from A Red Apple
- Desirée from the brandnew Zuckerschnuten-Blog
- Indre, blogging as MiMa from Berlin
- furniture collecting Corinna a.k.a Frau Haselmayer
- and finally a fellow Hamburg blogger, Frollein Leni


Of course everybody else is invited to take part in the game, too! I'd love you to leave me a comment with the link to you blog post :)


Lots of love,
