If you could choose your own name, what would it be?
I'm not sure, but I do currently use Mimi as my online alias. However, I don't think I'd actually want that as my real name, though I do find that Meems, short for Mimi, is an adorable nickname. :)
If you could dream about anything tonight, what would it be?
I don't want it to be something that would seem too good to be true, because then I'll wake up feeling all disappointed and sentimental that my dream couldn't last longer. Either that or I'll end up being pissed off at whatever woke me up (the cleaning lady?).
Why are you loyal to certain brands/stores? What keeps you coming back?

Price, quality, style/design, or perks. It's always one or a combination of these factors that keeps me coming back. For example, those that know me well know that I'm a die-hard fan of Victoria's Secret. Why? I love their fragrances and how they're designed. I also love the styles and quality of their clothes. Not a big fan of their price tags, but they do offer sales and special perks often, so I guess that makes up for the expensive prices.
In this economic climate, not all employers are able to give raises. What perks would make you happy in lieu of a raise?

They could make the work environment more friendly and relaxed. If I'm going to be stuck there for longer hours with more work but the same pay, the company could at least try to make my time there more enjoyable. Perhaps a less strict dress code? More flexibility with breaks? Having a fridge full of yummy snacks for us? Anything that will make my time there seem less stiff and "work-like" (even though it is still work).
Or better yet, provide discounts towards various retailers and services. I wouldn't mind receiving a discount (or even free) membership to the gym or a gift card for H&M. Of course, I'm guessing that the type of discounts we receive will depend on the type of company we work for, but these are always nice :)
I have been really interested lately by the ways of earning money while doing what I like, this means blogging. After searching for a while, I decided to sign up at Bloggerwave because it seemed reliable and easy to use: you select an opportunity, and decide to advertise a product or a website, and you make an article. Then you are paid! How awesome is that! The money I'm going to earn will help me with a lot of projects, including passing my driving license. Every little amount of money will help, and I know this works because so far I have only had positive feedback about it. Now let's start blogging!
I had not found the desire to blog about things lately, but now I am back with my meaningless chatter.
I've lost something like 7 pounds in a week, I'm quite proud and happy. Nobody believed I could have the will to, and now they have the proof they are wrong. I now weigh 123 lbs for 5'6, which is not fat. I'd like to lose 2 lbs more, just to feel good.
Today was the Book Fair in he city nearby, they sell books from all over the region/country. I was sensed to spend the morning there with my boyfriend, but I received a sms saying he would be there at around noon. He arrived at 1PM and didn't even bother telling me before I arrived there that he was going to be late. This really pissed me off, and made me forget that my father had asked me to buy a book for him. Now I feel really guilty towards my father, because each time he asks me to see something for him, I just forget. Well, I guess I'm pretty sure he would not have read this book. It was only because it was someone he personnally knew who wrote it, and that's a silly reason to spend money. I bought several books there:
I also bought the book inspired from the Spiderman movie for my brother.
My trip to the United Kingdom is soon. I'm trying my best to plan great visits, because I'm pretty sure it won't be well organized. My friend Charlotte lent me a huge suitcase, and a 2 GB SD memory card, and my boyfriend lent me his digital camera. I'm really happy to go there.
Since I have my boyfriend's digital camera, I've been taking some pictures of me, because I have no mean of expressing my narcissistic side :p
Here is me:
I talked to guy for my Macbook on MSN, they will send it within two days, this means it will arrive here some time when I will be in the UK. I wish it could arrive on Saturday or Monday the week after, but I don't think it will.
I can show my new hair cut. The result is weird. I didn't expect that, but I like it. They dyed my hair in dark purple with auburn highlights... They just thought it would look good and I let them do whatever they wanted because I was ready to change my haircut completely.
We went to a birthday party on saturday evening, it was great. I saw some friends I hadn't seen for a long while and some people from junior high school. There was a good atmosphere. At first I didn't want to go there, because I had not been nominatively invited (only my boyfriend), but finally it just happened to be awesome. I'm invited at one my friend's birthday on June 23rd, this means two birthday parties in one evening, I'm going to be busy :)
Today is a holiday in here, and I was planning to make a picnic with the boyfriend but unfortunately we didn't manage our time correctly and he had to leave earlier than we thought so we ate at his house.
Only 3 weeks left until my trip to the United Kingdom, I can't wait!
If you could pick a cartoon world to live in, which would it be? Why?

I'd like to live in the world of the ScoobyDoo, because it is so 70's :)
