My lovely friend @KrisCastro tagged me on a funny article about a challenge launched by @fantagira and here I am trying to figure it out!
It's 9 pm here in Rome and I'm struggling with Billo desperately asking for food poor dear... I could not find their fav paté and they hate every kind of other humid food! So he is meowing right now and looking at me like 'Hooman you are fired'
But let's not waste time in feline distractions!
This challenge is pretty personal, I usually don't tell so much about my personal interests or such stuff like hobbies, I like to write about my emotions, but never tell anecdotes about me as a kid.
What I can say is that I was like a boy, cos I used to run, jump and climb trees lol let's say I've never been so girly, I don't like pink or light blue, or dresses and laces, I don't like wearing jewels too, but I go mad for pins of all kinds!
The thing that upset me the most as a child was being mistaken for a male because I wore my hair short and pants! Guess I couldn't help it cos I couldn't wear a skirt without catching colds with high fever, so my mom just decide to buy me pants only🙄
Me at 2 yo
Me at 6 yo
Where did your name come from?
I actually don't know. My name is Alessandra and has Greek origin, it means 'men protector'. I think it was my mum's choice but I'm not sure as long as I have never asked
What are your hobbies and interests?
Well I have many actually, the first is creative writing, music, gardening and photography. Infact I have tons and tons of pics in my gallery as I have tons and tons of playlists on Spotify, Youtube! As I am a half century woman I have tons of records, cassettes and cds too. I used to draw when I was a teenager, but now I rarely get a pencil...
I also like to collect Miyazaki movies and cartoons in general that I use to watch with my son.
What are your talents/skills?
My friends say that I'm creative and inventing, that I'm a problem solving. I'm good at crosswords and words games in general, but I'm a total disaster with math. My English is really good and that's really unusual in Italy, trust me. Always according to my friends I am very good at doing my job, I'm a waitress in a Ramen Restaurant, now closed due to covid, actually working in a Pizzeria, same big company management.
What are the things you are grateful for recently?
I'm grateful that I have made it after covid emergency, cos many people have lost their jobs here in Italy. And I'm truly grateful for my friends/colleagues cos before being a team at work we really respect and love each other.
What are your future life projects?
There are so many things I could name... I want to see my son fulfil his career as a Firefighter and then I want to travel to places I've seen just in pic, posted by my Display and Noise friends. I have a cocktail to sip with Toni (Frenchtoast), I'm planning to visit my Cave Woman Marisa, promised a long chat with Jerryl, bringing Unicors pins to Zoe (Nina Navida's daughter)... there are so many people I really want to hug and these are just few of my millions dreams and projects for my future!
To end this article I want to thank the Ladies I have mentioned at the beginning @CoquiCoin , @Mictorrani , @MartinaStella , @maxpollins, @Bloghound , @MegaKyodaiBanrai , @Freylin and @aj_u2 for being awesome!
Thanks for reading!
Text belongs to me as pics!
