Introduction

Since I came to Scotland, my mind has been in a constant state of wonder and awe, and I wanted to write a lot of things, but I couldn't find the time to do that, not even in my native language, let alone in English. But today I decided that this is something that needs to be done, mostly for me, but also for a bunch of people that told me they would like to read whatever I decide to write. I met a lot of people that I would love to call friends, and mind you, while I am a friendly person, I am very picky about who I allow into my life. I usually am an opened book, but parts of me will remain a mystery, unless you are someone who can read between the lines. So this will be a kind of introduction - because the people who told me to set this blog in English know me mostly from work. So, this is who I am when I'm not at work: - I am still the happy person you see at work. If I do have a bad day, it will show all over my face. I suck at hiding my emotions, my thoughts or my mood. I know that and no, I do not intend to change it. - I usually have no filter. What I think in that moment will usually fly out of my mouth (as most of you have already seen...) However, I do, occasionally, try to be careful what I say or at least, how I say it. It doesn't always work. No, most of the time I do NOT feel sorry for whatever it is that I said. - I am addicted to Nightwish and Bon Jovi. The probability of hearing me sing is very high. - I laugh. A lot. I also laugh about things I shouldn't. - I love to learn random stuff. There's a high chance I would know a brief history about a place or a building, but have no idea who's the prime minister of my country. - I DO NOT remember stuff that have no interest to me. I will, however, remember the lyrics of every song I like. Along with the name of the album, and sometimes, the year of its release. - I love to drive. - The sea, ocean, water in general, fascinates me. I love rain and a storm will keep me at the window for hours. I hate the cold, the snow and winter in general. - I can listen to the same song for hours, sometimes days. I think a psychologist would find that very interesting. - I can be very mean, sarcastic and an overall bitch. But I can also be a very sweet, childish and sometimes incredibly naive person. - I can also speak Spanish, some French and I understand Italian. I can't speak Italian because my brain is stupid and it mixes it with Spanish. The Italians don't appreciate that, apparently. I find German the most difficult language in the world. - I swear a lot. If I'm pissed off, I'll use the word FUCK a lot. If I'm very pissed off, I'll swear in my own language, and trust me, Romanian has some of the most hideous and incredibly rude cursing words - involving your mama's dead people and a lot of reproductive organs. That's the point where you should just let me be... I'll be ok in 5 to 10 minutes. - I like to write about my emotions, my feelings, my memories. I will try to translate some of my older posts. So, any questions you have, feel free to ask. I will ask you all a big favour: if you see any mistakes in my English, here or anywhere, please free to tell me about it so I can correct it. Thanks.
