What do you think of the person who tagged you?

Anything linen.

I read magazines only occasionally. Depends on mood, cover and content.

Books. In a bookshop there's always something I want to buy. Or I could donate it to the local animal shelter. Decisions, decisions!

Evening. I'm especially fond of long evenings in May and June.

Nothing. I'm keeping this as an open option for the times when I'll get tired of what I'm doing right now which might never happen though.

If you could change something in the world to make it better place what would that be?
I would cure all the sick. Wish I had superpowers :)

Something about yourself that makes no sense?
I don't like gluing.

Brush. I don't mind paining walls, but smaller surfaces are fine too.


The rules:
1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own.
2. Tag eight other people.
