1. I wear glasses.

2. I am an archaeologist.

3. Bass guitar is the best instrument ever. Not that I can play bass guitar. I just like the sound of it a lot, a lot, a lot.

4. I’m a tomboy. Think Juno minus teen pregnancy.

5. I have some aspie traits.

6. Jeff Ament looks like a lion.

7. While I’m not an anarchist, I don’t support any political system.

10. I like men with beautiful hair, and my husband has the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen.

Well, we live together, lol. We’ve met in 2004. How did I know he was the right one? I guess it just felt right, I guess. It felt effortless. Now, relationships do demand a lot of effort, and compromise, and communication. But the basis- love and respect, it should be effortless.

Do you think two people can be together for their whole lives?

Many people stay together for their whole lives… Seriously, it’s not that rare. True, some stay for the wrong reasons. But I do believe it’s possible to love someone your whole life and stay with them. It doesn’t mean there won’t be hard times, and fights, and misunderstandings, and you’ll always dislike some things about them. Also, don’t expect to feel the same way about them like when you were first dating… But it’s a good thing. Love grows and transforms itself. A person becomes a part of you.

However, in order to enter such a relationship you must be ready for it. Besides love for your partner, you must be mature enough, and determined enough, and experienced enough. Yes, I do believe experience is important, and while I do think it’s cute when people marry fresh out from high school to their first boyfriend, I am not sure if it could work for everybody. I know having some prior experience helped me a lot (even if experiences were painful and difficult).

And do you think it is normal that in a long, happy and healthy relationship or marriage one can be attracted to another person?

This is a tricky one. Not sure what to say. It never happened to me, but I do believe it’s possible to love two people at the same time, I guess. Or to love one person 80% but to find the remaining 20% in someone else. Human emotions and sexuality are complex. Anything can happen. However, cheating is ugly and it destroys so many beautiful things, and it’s usually not worth ruining all those wonderful things you have. But then again, this is just a theory; it never happened to me.

What’s the key in always (not literally) being happy with your loved one

Well, to love and to respect them.

and never wanting another person, and do you think that’s possible, not wanting nobody else for your whole life, once you’ve found a partner who’s the right for you, of course?

I don’t know. I really don’t find other men attractive (save for the fantasy stuff, such as celebrities). But I honestly don’t notice other men and I don’t see them in those terms.

I guess it’s possible to not want anybody else for your whole life, why not? I guess people cheat first and foremost, to satisfy their ego, not their libido.

I guess understanding that good, loving relationships are nothing like media or romance novels portray them is important. And that the person who is right for you doesn’t have to be 100% right for you (and he never is): but the key traits about that person should be the right for you, and he must love and respect you.

I guess knowing that there will always be things you are not compatible in, and that there will always be things you dislike about each other, I guess knowing that it’s perfectly alright helps. So you won’t be looking for another person to fulfill those little things you dislike about your partner, nor would you think that this another person suits you better. So yes, I do think it’s possible to be loyal and true to your partner, and I am not sure if it’s that difficult to achieve like popular culture wants you to believe. (Though I also believe it’s possible for many things to happen that can make someone suddenly attracted to another person, and make all sorts of things because of it).

I understand your feelings; I don’t like that sort of movies either (a white character goes to save the day, and kicks ass, and all the women want him, instead of local men).

But this isn’t that type of the movie. Seriously.

Yes, one of the main characters is white. But he doesn’t save the day, nor does he make locals seem incompetent or weak. He is the weak one (he’s not quite sane).

Plus, he isn’t seen as a sex symbol. No woman, Asian or otherwise, is interested in him, and it’s implied he’s not interested either- his trauma has made him incapable of seeing female (or any other human) form in a healthy way.

If nothing else, Asian actors are made to be sexier (though it’s really not a movie about that), and manlier than him.

When and why did you start blogging?

Around 2007, when I opened my domain. To be honest, I used to hate it. I used to hate blogging and I disliked people’s blogs. I thought they were boring and unnecessary. But it seems people didn’t really know how to blog back then.

So, I installed the bloging platform along with my site, but I never intended to be a blogger. Only in the past year or so I started putting more effort in my blogging. I think the crucial change came when I realized blogging (for me, at least) could be about writing articles on various topics I’m interested in (that includes movie reviews, too), instead of an online diary (and I never liked blogging about my personal life).

My Favourite Film: Way too many! Some of them: Amelie, most of the Mike Leigh movies, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

My Favourite TV programme- I am not sure what they mean by “programme”. I don’t really watch TV. But if it’s about favourite TV Show, it’s “Only Foold And Horses”, no doubt.

Favourite animal: I like animals (more or less, all of them). So it’s definitely difficult to pick just a few. But let me try: cats, hamsters, penguins, cows, dogs, dolphins. Oh, and many, many more.

My Favourite Song: It really depends on the mood. Usually something by my fav bands, or something “random”. I get obsessed with different song(s) each day, it seems. I like rock music, and heavy bass lines. Good lyrics seem to help.

My favourite Band/musician: Just to name a few: Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers (I love Flea! <- I just had to say this), Queen, The Doors, The Verve, Nine Inch Nails (particularly their/his ballades- weird, huh?)

My Favourite Book: Lord of the Rings (Tolkien), Atonement (Ian McEwan), Jazz (Toni Morrison)

My Favourite time of the year: Spring (despite the allergies) and summer

A fact about my appearance: I am short and curvy, but the “big secret” is that I’m actually ok with it. I think I look good, and I’m always surprised to learn people think I’m overweight, ugly, or unattractive because of my curves or whatever.

A fact about my personality: I have some Aspie traits. I don’t have Asperger’s syndrome, but I am borderline. I display some traits that make communication with other people a bit difficult and I appear socially awkward, rude or weird. Oh, well. 

It’s a really good film. Not perfect, but still quite good.

Ever wondered why Capa can only be my second-favourite astrophysicist? Because nobody beats Eleanor Arroway.

(I studied astrophysics for a while but sadly never graduated. But it remains my first love. It’s one of the reasons I like Capa that much (besides his tiny ponytail): I identify strongly with him).

No, not really. I like them both as actors, a lot, but fantasy is fantasy and reality is reality. I don’t even think in those terms. Now, some of their characters are sure… hot, but none of it is for real.

Celebrity crushes should not be taken (way too) seriously anyway!

It just happened. Last night. I was thinking about some random stuff, and suddenly - somehow - I got an idea about a play. A PLAY.

I’ve written a few plays when I was a teenager, but that’s all. In other words, I know nothing about it, so I guess it’s just best to completely forget about this idea, right?

Maybe. But it’s not like I need this to be published/produced. I’m just surprised with myself: I usually don’t some up with the stories that can be translated in any other form but a novel. So, no short stories: I can’t write those (most of the time). No plays. And certainly not poetry.

So this came as a pleasant surprise and I want to explore that.

Thanks for visiting! Nothing wrong about being a stalker, but you’re free to comment whenever you want… Glad to see you there.

People in Serbia are quite shallow when it comes to clothes, too. A girl is not considered attractive if she’s not trendy (not other words to describe it). People here don’t have much money, but girl spend so much on clothes (well, most of it cheap clothes but still trendy). There are those who don’t wear makeup and stuff, but in order to be considered attractive and a real female, you must be at least a bit fashionable.

I too have a problem when speaking English. First of all, I am shy. Second of all, my accent is weird. We learned British English in school, so my accent is a bit closer to it (is not as soft as the American accents), but I find it more difficult to speak that way. Still, it’s a bit late to change the accent now.

I used to believe I was 159 cm, but turned out I was 157. Nothing wrong about being short, though!
