Day 1 - Ten random facts about yourself
1.The first book I've read myself was The Hobbit. Fantasy books have always been a huge part of my reading life.
2. Order of the Phoenix was the first English book I'd read since school and there are still my scribbled vocabulary notes in it.
3. Last year I read more than 200 books or longer fics thereof only two books in German.
4. I can read and listen to music while walking, but I can't listen to audiobooks/podfics and do something else (weird brain is weird).
5. I spent my honeymoon in New Zealand and would drop everything to visit this fabulous country again.
6. I'm a vet and a trained editor. I'm only working as the latter.
7. The last vet particing I did? I neutered our tomcat in 2004- it's fairly easy if you have the proper narcotics, a scalpel, a clamp, some catgut, and a healthy cat.
8. I have a German blog (with two fellow bloggers), an English blog, LJ, tumblr, twitter- but only a fake facebook account for blog purpose- worst social media page ever. I use a book character name as alias. LMFAO when they corrected my age, got it wrong, and still have no clue where I live or who I am.
9. I'm turning 40 this year.
10 Actually I shouldn't do this list but read a fic alpha...

OMG

*stunned*

*grins*

*waves*

Here is another vet.

And you forgot to add "sturdy kitchen table" to the equipment list! LOL

[nia_kantorka]

Of course, how could I forgot the table. It was on the sturdy kitchen table. LOL

But you got me thinking here. I've sent you a message.

I am so intrigued that you actually worked as a vet and an editor, while I wanted to be a vet when I was a child. :)

[nia_kantorka]

Well, it's hard work and though I hadn't been totally incapable (some cow farmers in Lower Bavaria told me so), I was very glad when I finally switched directions.
I'm still working on and writing about medical topics. :)

Cool that you're both an edior and a vet, they're so different! Impressed :)
And New Zealand! I've always wanted to got there.

[nia_kantorka]

Oh, it was necessary. I wasn't happy. Not about being a vet, but about being on call all the time (and that would have been unlikely to change ever). So I needed to do something else. Now I have a lovely part-time job, do something useful nonetheless, and am happy.

It's beautiful. If you'll ever have enough time and money (one needs both), you should take the trip. It's so worth it! :D

I'm so loving this meme. :D

And there's stuff I didn't even know! ;)

[nia_kantorka]

Ah, darling, and I thought you know everything about me by now because I'm always so chatty. ;p

2 — cute!
6 — woah! you are one talented lady!

[nia_kantorka]

I really think it's the other way round with the talent. :)
