Rules: 15 questions, 15 mutuals

Tagged by: @mayormimii 

1. Are you named after anyone?

Nope.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I rewatched Titanic two weeks ago sooo…

3. Do you have kids?

Nope again.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Oh boy. Do I-? Do I use sarcasm-? Yes. Yes I do. In fact basically only my dad, sister and family in general don’t get offended when I talk because I walk the thin line between sarcasm and rudeness, lol. But all with affection.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Mmh, the way they talk, mostly. Accent, grammar, if they’re smooth or if they blabber – stuff like that.

6. Eye color?

Honey.

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

At this point in life I don’t care about happy ending, I just want a satisfying one. And I like horror/scary movie, even though most of the time I can’t bring myself to watch them.

8. Any special talents?

I think people feel weirdly comfortable around me in real life, to the point where I’ve had perfect strangers tell me their whole life story for no reason at all. I don’t know if that counts as a special talent? lol

9. Where were you born?

Somewhere in Italy.

10. Do you have any hobbies?

Writing, reading, watching tv shows.

11. Do you have any pets?

I have five cats living in my backyard but I very much doubt they consider themselves “mine”.

12. How tall are you?

165cm/5,41ft.

13. What sports do you play/have you played?

I’ve played basket and volleyball and (i don’t know if it’s considered a sport) I did ballet when I was very little.

14. Favorite subject in school?

Literature (italian, english and french) and History.

15. Dream job?

Writer, or something that allows me to travel a lot.

Fanfiction Writer Asks

20, 23, 27 for the ask meme :)

20. Which sport is The Sport in your country?

Calcio (soccer, football) is definitely The Sport! There are
countless in-depth TV programs, every broadcast news has at least two or three
footages/stories every day about some game, some coach, some player in an
endless circle of gossip and actual game-centered news. I don’t like it so it’s
pretty overwhelming, but I guess if you’re a fan it’s heaven, lol. Also, people
get pretty crazy about it, both in good and bad ways. Like, during the main
games there is basically full armed police outside and inside the stadiums, and
some fans are so involved that they throw stuff on the playing field, like
various objects or smoke bombs, like guerrilla-style. Awful. Luckily it’s not always
and everywhere, but still. Soccer fans (we call these crazy ones “ultràs”) need
to chill, lmao.

23. Which alcoholic beverage is the favoured one in your
country?

Mh, I guess beer and wine are the most favoured, I don’t
know which one wins between the two. Maybe wine though? (I’m not really good on
the subject since I only occasionally drink lol, and I prefer beer over wine).

27. Favourite national celebrity?

Ughh I don’t know if I have one?? There are a few I like,
like Tiziano Ferro for example (a singer), Luca Ward (I love his voice, he’s an
actor and a voice actor as well and ughh his voice does things to me),
Alessandro Preziosi, Luca Argentero (more actors), Cristina D’Avena (she used
to sing the opening songs of every single anime I watched as a kid, so she’s
basically the 85% of my childhood), and like a bunch of comedians (we have a
lot of them, we try to laugh the tragedies off lol).
