Okey, another blog, another first post. My name is Aleksandra, I live in Sofia, Bulgaria. For the record: this is not going to be blog about my writings nor a fashion blog nor a photography blog. It's going to blog about every single thing on my mind. That is way I named it that way. I'm going to begin with a list of
100 things you don't have to know myself but you'll need to in order to understand me. Enjoy ;)

6. I always tend to get what I want. Sometimes it takes me months but I'm patient.
7. And once I get it… I get bored with it very easily.

42. My ex is about the only person who can make me laugh when I’m in a bad mood.

52. I also have a
lifelong history of falling head-over-heels for fictional characters.
53. The first book I read by myself was
"Pippi Longstocking".
54. If I really enjoy a book, I’ll read it more than once.
55. When I come up with an amazing plan something always messes up. Even the plan of not having a plan.
56. When a film based on a book comes out, or a movie remake is released, I always plan to read the book and/or see the original film version, regardless of whether or not I intent on seeing the remake.
57. But I usually don’t. I mentioned the problems I have with my plans.
58. When I like a song I'll listen to it a million times, then almost never again.
59. I've always had a thing for vampire fiction. (real books, not some crappy nonsense like “Twilight”)
60. I enjoy reading poetry. I love Baryon, Shakespeare’s sonnets, Baudelaire, Edgar Alan Poe, W.H. Auden.
61. My favorite line is from W.H. Auden:
“Oh let not Time deceive you/ You cannot conquer Time.”
62. When it comes to books and buildings and cities, I prefer things that have some history to them.
63. That is why my favorite city is London, England.
64. And I love
“One Flew Over A Cuckoo’s Nest” for the same reason. The story behind the novel is just as fascinating as the book itself.
65. I love writing but I don't write as often as I should.
66. I can watch
"Friends" 24/7 and never get sick of them.

“Buffy the Vampire slayer”.
69.
“Before sunrise” is my all time favorite movie.
70. I’m obsessed with old, black and white pictures of people, cities, landscapes…
71. I have two guitars, but I never play them. I never learned to.
72. If I ever get married it will be only because I dream of that perfect day during which I’ll wear the beautiful white dress.
73. I believe in God (or Goddess....I don't think gender is the point) and consider myself a spiritual person but I have no religious affiliations. I believe in infinite possibilities.
74. I enjoy discussions about religion and faith, so long as all parties involved respect the others' beliefs or lack thereof.
75. I believe a person’s spirituality is a private thing, so I don't participate in organized religion.
76. A few of my friends call me Axl. It has nothing to do with Axl Rose.
77. Two things about my future freak me out: the idea of having daddy issues and/or becoming like my mother.
78. I don’t like technology. I’m old school – handwriting, talking in person not on the phone, ect.
79. I’m extremely intuitive.
80. I'm not afraid to create a scene if there's been an injustice.
81. I am a very, very picky eater.

86. I used to love tequila but I can’t stand it now.
87. I can’t spend a day without at least a cup of coffee!
88. I can’t watch news without getting upset so I just don’t.
89. I just adore guys with British accent!
90. I am obsessed with high heels…
91. And yet again I prefer to be barefoot.
92. I wish I'd live in the 40s or in the 50s (the Beat generation!) or in the 60s (the hippie movements) or the 70s (the birth of the punk music) or the 80s (the “sex, drugs and rock n’ roll” era). It’s all about freedom.
93. I love all about these periods - the subcultures formed then, the music, the literature (especial the beaters!), the way people looked...<3
94. I consider myself Generation X even though I'm younger. I just feel like it.
95. I like finding joy in the simple pleasures of life – a beautiful sunset; the way air smells after a rain; a good book and/or movie; going out with friends for a beer. You know what I’m talking about.
96. It is really easy to make me happy – give me a cigarette or cup of coffee, or a beer, or chocolate; take me out for shopping, or to my favorite bar; karaoke or dance club with friends; movie night, ect.
97. I love travelling! I wish I could do it more often.
98. I'm much nicer than this list makes me out to be.
99. There is no 100, you only get 99. Refer to number 4.
That's all for now, guys.
