Well everyone else in Blog Land is doing Meme’s and I wanted to join in the fun too! Vixel over at Sparkle and Glitter inspired me with the following Meme:
1. Were you named after anyone?
No, my parent’s just liked the Spanish name “Carmen” but my middle name “Iris” is in memory of my Mum’s best friend who died when she was 19.
2. Do you still have your tonsils?
Yup. Thank God. Ouch!
3. Would you bungee jump?
Yes! And in fact I have! When I was 16 I went bungee jumping in Vienna, Austria 
Crazy experience but a lot of fun!
4. What is your favourite cereal?
I LOVE cereal!! It’s one of the best things ever! Some people like my partner or sister (total food snobs) can’t understand this but what is there not to like?! It’s yummy ~ make that delicious, convenient & easy! Too good! I normally love anything of the Special K variety but at the moment I’m weirdly into Honey Puffs which I haven’t eaten since I was a kid.
5. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
No… I just try to wriggle out! Lazy…
6. What is your favourite ice cream?
Green tea! Mmmmm… Although Nutella is my Gelato flavour of choice here in Italy 
.
7. What is the first thing you notice about people?
Their “vibe”… I know, I’m a bit wierd and hippy about sussing out people… I like to go on my instincts.
8. What is your least favourite thing about yourself?
I can be kinda gloomy at times.
9. What was the last thing you ate?
Cherry Yoghurt.
10. What are you listening to right now?
Italian News is on TV in the background.
11. Last movie you watched?
Ghost was on TV the other night… Sniff sniff! Such a timeless movie; the love story is so beautiful it surpasses the fact that their visual FX weren’t as good back then.
12. What did you dream about last night?
Last night I couldn’t tell you… It was all a rather vague blur. I used to be quite into Dream Interpretation though! Whenever I had a dream I could remember I would relay it to any poor person in earshot. Most recently I dreamt I was in a country that in my waking reality doesn’t exist but all close to my heart such as members of my family; my sisters, or houses of my friends that are located in different countries around the world were all in walking or driving distance of each other.
13. What book are you reading?
The True Story of My Life by Hans Christian Anderson. It’s rather interesting actually to be inside the mind of one of the best men Denmark has produced. He describes himself as a young boy born into poverty who was extremely sensitive with a huge thirst for success. I’m still not up to the part where he begins writing fairy tales though!
14. Summer or winter?
Well… summer I guess! Winter is tooo cold! Especially in Milan where I am at the moment 
Downright depressing. To be honest I’m not actually particularly enthusiastic about either extreme. I prefer a lovely spring day or a light crisp autumn!
15. Do you have any special talents? Well my Dad always said I had the “Gift of the Gab!” Does that count?

Aagh! I forgot about green tea ice cream when I filled mine in! I’ve only ever had it once (it’s not really a big thing over here) but I loved it!

I was watching Ghost the other night too, and I’m with you on the cereal. I don’t eat Crunchy Nut anymore as I used to eat the whole box. It was just so yummy!
