Friday Five!

[elusivek]

This time they seem easy!

1. Who is the fourth person on your missed calls?
It's my company's general line... I was in a meeting and couldn't take the call this morning....

2. What is your favorite ring tone on your phone?
I have the Chocobo theme as my ringtone, but, my phone is 98% on silent in its lifetime.

3. What shirt are you wearing?
I'm now at home, in my room, in bed, going to work on the g*ddamned minutes of this afternoon's late meeting after I'm done here, so, I'm just in my bra. Hah. After I'm done with the minutes then I'll go shower and I'll be in my PJs for bed.

4. What do you label yourself as?
You know, I kind of get the impression that labeling yourself as "whatever" is a very American thing? I mean, we have punks, goths, lolis, sporties, tomboys, gays, etc. etc. etc.... here, but in all actuality, no one gives a damn, or what I recently like to say, no one gives a flying fuck, or no one gives two shits about it. So I'm not really sure if I could label myself as anything.

Guess I could label myself as a pessimistic-optimist or a procrastinatic-workaholic? Crazy 30-ish woman? Lazybum would probably wrap it up nicely. Or Human. Earthling maybe? Or, I don't really get this question, what does the label allude to?

5. Name the brand of shoes you've recently worn.
*looks at my shoes* okay, I'm mainly wearing Jipi Japa shoes lately. I have like 4 pairs of Jipi Japa shoes that wear to work... then there's a pair of boots from Steve Madden. And maybe 2 pairs from Marks'n Spencer.

Perhaps you are right and it's an American thing. I don't get labeling much credit myself, but after so many years of coming up with questions, you sort of get desperate and grab at straws. The label alludes to how you see yourself.

What color are your work shoes? When I Googled the brand, there was quite the selection

on my work shoes:
Jipi Japa
- an old pair of grey and black oxford style shoes (I think that's from autumn/winter 2 years ago) (I have an exact same pair in brown and beige but I rarely wear them - when the black and grey ones retire then they're coming out)
- 2 pairs of pumps in different colors (one blue, one beigh), with some ornamental buckles thingies
- 1 pair of... I think they're called loafers, black
I think Jipi Japa is a Spanish brand? I like their shoes because they've got larger sizes than the usual brands available here.

Marks'n Spencer
- 1 pair plain black pumps
- 1 pair plain purple pumps

Steve Madden
- platformed black zip-up booties

Wow, you have quite the collection of shoes. I may have to see if Jipi Japa is carried over here.

Hahah I was thinking the exact same about that label question. Americans are obsessed with labels and putting people in boxes tbh. I reject it.

I kind of feel like we have more freedom here with all the nonchalant take on things but by making this statement I might be opening a can of something so I'll just shut up now :D

Labeling is definitely american. It makes no sense whatsoever. It feels like you're giving yourself a barcode & setting yourself up for sale. "I'm a green teapot - $50".
