Q&A

1. What are you wearing? 
I'm already in bed, so pajama pants and an old pink t-shirt from H&M.

2. Have you ever been in love?
Yes.

3. Have you even gone through a horrible breakup? 
Quite.

4. How tall are you?
1.70.

5. How Much do you weigh? 
53 Kg.

6. Do you have tattoos? 
No.

7. Do you have piercings?
No, apart from an ear one.

8. What is the ideal couple to you? 
I don't have a particular couple in mind, but I guess their relationship would be based on pure feelings, they'd know they can fully trust and rely on each other, but at the same time each would be independent and doing his own stuff, so the relationship doesn't sink in boredom and there are always new exciting things. But they'd also like to stay home and enjoy each other's company, lying on the sofa under a pile of woolly blankets, watching a Wes Anderson movie and holding hands. I like the idea of forming a new world, a sort of bubble than can serve as a shelter whenever you need to escape reality.

9. Your favourite TV show? 
I'm not seeing many TV shows recently, I just can't stick to one. When I was younger I enjoyed Gilmore Girls (I still do, it's just difficult to catch reruns on TV). The dialogues and characters are just brilliant! Nowadays I watch Girls (which doesn't convince me 100%, but I find it funny and I grew some attachment to certain characters, like Adam), Downton Abbey (the setting, the costumes, Maggie Smith... Watching it is a pleasure that can be compared to eating macarons. They look so good, and they're slightly decadent...) and, when I have to cheer up, The Big Bang Theory- it makes me laugh so much.

10. Your favourite band?
Too difficult question. Also, it's been ages since I've been to a concert... Lately I've been considering music more like a soundtrack, then an interest itself. But I love music... My favorite band of all time is Arcade Fire. No matter what they say about their latest work, for me they're just pure genius, and they're performance are so amazing you just want to dance, shout and cry. Among my favorites there are also Joy Division, Zrní (Czech band, awesome sound),  Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes... And talking about singers, I love Bjork, Elliott Smith (his music is just unique, and it speaks to my soul), Neil Young (my father's heritage).

11. Something you're missing?
Serenity. Wandering around Istanbul with two among my best friends. My first year of university in Venice, when everything was full of possibilities. Two days ago, an evening with my boyfriend.

12. Your favourite song? 
Probably "Autobus" by Zrní, "Dance me to the end of love" by Leonard Cohen or "No cars go" by Arcade Fire.

13. How old are you? 
22.

14. What's your astrological sign? 
Does it matter? :D

About 10 minutes.

22. How long does it take to get ready in the morning? 
30 minutes if I don't have to wash my hair, but I end up in a hurry anyway. 1 hour would be ideal.

Never, although I witnessed some.

When they're completely self-absorbed.
