I was tagged not once, but twice so I thought I'd do it. It's a good chance to update my journal since I don't really have any interesting news to report. I can't think of 8 weird facts off the top of my head though. I'll open a browser and observe myself for the next few hours and see what I come up with...

The rules are:
1-post these rules
2-each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3-tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4-at the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5-go to their page and leave a comment telling them they’ve been ‘tagged’

1. I prefer to sleep with loads of pillows. Loads. The more the merrier.

2. I dislike nouveau riche and social climbers. Worst kind of people in the world. Need I say more? Inferiority complex to the max is what they are all about...

3. I am an anime geek. And a yaoi fan-girl. Most of my friends don't realise that about me though...Don't know why...

4. Do not take away my Sunday newspapers. I bite. In other words, I feel obliged to know about politics, not just my country's. World politics. Le Monde Diplomatique is my favourite newspaper and I suggest it as a read to everyone who enjoys the pleasures of using their brain.

5. I dye my hair in different colours and I usually prefer shades of purple. I blame My Little Ponies for this. As a child I wanted colourful hair like them! Actually, the first time I dyed my hair I dyed them lilac like my favourite MLP, Glory. Currently I have four streaks 2 magenda & purple and two sky blue & turquise. The rest is my natural chestnut brown.

6. I've never eaten at McDonalds, KFC or anything of the sort. It's a matter of principle. Or should I say principlES. Most of my humanitarian and aesthetic principles are being violated by the mere existance of those places.

7.I don't have any pictures of friends&family members in my space. Pictures like that are for photo albums, I don't like them being on display.

8.I love listening to stories about places, myths, anything like that really! Which is probably why when I visit places alone, I prefer the company of older people. They are such a source of stories like that! I love them! They discribe a different sort of reality, one that books cannot provide most of the time, and you appreciate the value of the place you visit a lot better!!

Had enough??
I don't want to tag anyone in particular... besides, chances are they might have already been tagged!

I am at a loss. More than half of Greece is burning. In 3 days more than 150 fires were set off. The vast majority of them are considered arson. No one has been arrested, 53 people were burnt alive and more than 10 are still missing.

I have not been able to contact my family in Ancient Olympia and I don't know if they are safe or not. I don't know what's become of our house, our olive and orange groves. A few minutes ago they announced that the ancient monuments as well as mt Kronos are on fire and there is nothing anyone could do, the flames are over 40m high and winds are too strong.

I want the people behind this burnt to death, like the 53 people-so far- who were trapped in fires so strong that the helicopters could not approach. I want them burnt like the approx. 14,500 km² of forests that have been burnt so far. And I want them burnt like the 3000 years worth of history we just lost.

*Spoiler Safe*

I finally finished the book! Yay! I have crossed over to the side of those who know. I can be online again like a normal person! I am not afraid of spoilers anymore!

Other than that, I am in Greece and it's wonderful. It's amazing how different the nice weather can make you feel and -to be honest- I had had more than enough of rain. The first few days I was still tense, but now I am starting to relax and I am in such a good holiday mood! I am able to relax and enjoy the gentle breeze! There is nothing quite as wonderful as a cool breeze when it's 40C.
