Seven things you didn’t know about me

Frank Hamm, one of my favorite german blogger and friend 2.0 - living in Schwabenheim (Germany) asked me to post - as he also did - seven things about me which he and others don’t now about me.

How could I overcome this temptation – especially in my sentimental year end mood - to think about some of my dark secrets and – yes – publish them in the world wide web.

Frank, especially for you:

1. Blogging: I am more a reader than a writer or blogger. To write personal thing (like this post) and spread it over the www is more something for „others“ than for myself (I like more to observe. In the virtual space I’m obviously more the introverted type).
2. Neatness: I’m not neat . Some of my friends for sure would name this as one of my character details. To be honest: I’m not neat, but I like – yes it sounds very superficial – beautiful things. I think that aesthetically appealing objects (humans, flowers, nature, food, pictures, rooms, desktops etc.) were beautiful because of their incorporated harmony and the visual expression of belonging together. For now and for ever. So, if I’m cleaning – I’m harmonizing my life /surrounding.
3. Two Personalities? I have to confess, that there seems to be a „little“ gap between my professional and private personality: I once made this psycho-test and reached to absolutely different results: Leila – the private one seems to be a „sensibler macher“ , but Leila – thinking in a professional manner is a „analytic thinker“
4. No swiss passport: I sucessfully changed 3 times my nationality since 1976: I was born as a italian citizen (my father is italian), after the divorce of my parents (1984) I lost by italian passport and became „purely“ swiss (I won’t blame here the person responsible for..) and requested with 18 my italian citizenship once again to become swiss & italian. Yet, I’m I / CH, but don’t have a swiss passport because I missed (within the 13 years) to opportunity to proceed the formal way of requesting it .. (had no time haha..)
5. The bigger, the better: Surprised? For me, this is (only) valid for: cars, motorcyles and saxophones, bass guitars…
6. Sound matters: Noooo, not size, but sound and groove matters! I love the sound produced by big cars, motorcycles, saxophones and bass guitars … Very deep hums, which reach the bottom of every heart, which can’t be unheard.
7. Reasons for being vegetarian: I’m not – as most of you would assume – a vegetarian, because I’m an animal-rights activist (I don’t mention my tiger, zebra and snake skin belt collection). I stopped eating meat because I though that could probably be bad for my karma (that was the main reason when I was 14 ). One of my student jobs was freelancing as car driver in a butchery – and feeling the butcher’s aura proofed me being right (sorry to all butcher fans…)

So, and know I would ask you: Which seven thing I didn’t know about you?
