It's still question time. ;-)
This time it was ozratbag2 who gave me the pleasure of questioning, so here we go:The questions:1. You're given the chance to make any decision you want to make for the duration of a single day. What would you choose to do with such an unlimited opportunity?2. Do you have a favourite object/book or toy from childhood that you've kept as a memory?3. What was your first job and how long did it last?4. Can you tell me a specifically German proverb or saying and why it was the first one to spring to mind?5. Have you ever visited a psychic and were they way off the truth or accurate? (you don't have to tell the predictions)And now the answers (and yes, I'm trying to use this lj cut thing)1. Honestly? Uuuh .... ahem .... okay, the truth: I'd try to get the lord and master spend the day with me in bed. ;-) And if I couldn't do that, I'd probably go to a bookshop, buy myself a lot of new books and march then happily to the next nice coffee shop for some nice reading. Afterwards I'd trot home for a nice bath and more reading.2. No, I haven't. My memories are in my mind, I hardly keep any stuff. I remember: My old teddybear - a blue one - is still somewhere in our house in Stuttgart and so is the doll ("Dorle") I got as a child. But I don't know exactly where they are - I would have to ask my mother. She's more "sentimental" about such things as I am.3. The first work I earned money with was stuffing advertisment papers in envelopes. I did this during the holidays for my father's company. My first employment was ages before - when I was 17 I became an apprentice for publishing assistent at my father's company. I was there for 2 1/2 year. Then the apprenticeship was ready - and I was very quick in moving to the next job in an advertisment agency.4. Oh my - that's hard because I'm just so in English ... yet I think about ... and get first a Latin saying (doesn't help me much, does it?) ...a German one ... ah, here we go: "Ohne Musik waere das Leben ein Irrtum" ("Without music live would be a mistake"). It's from Nietzsche and it came to mind because it's on a card picked on my wall. ;-)5. I only was once to a psychic - for coming over a dentist's phobia. He was pretty right in what he said about.

Excellent answers, Max and thanks for answering my questions.Out of pure curiousity, what was the latin saying you thought of first?I love the saying you gave me, for it's really just so true of life in general. :)
