I kindof got nominated for the #tenrandomthings challenge by @steemflow (challenge made by @twodorks), so here are 10 random facts about me!
Number 1
My real full name is Freja Friborg Lundbak Christensen! Friborg from my father and Lundbak from my mother. But since those were both my parents "first surname" instead of last (thereby ranging as middle names, though they were family names..) (we have some complicated surname traditions in Denmark..!) - and the law by then said you had to have one of you parents last surname (the laws has since been changed and now you can make up your own surnames for your kids if you want ) (I'm gonna totally do that for my next kid! ;D) - I had to get also the second surname of my mother - Christensen
Number 2
You would have a difficult time finding a piece of clothes I wear that I have actually bought! I always get my clothes for free, either in freeshops or by friends who are cleaning up their wardrobe. Sometimes I find clothes too in random places or containers (Just need a little washing..!) (I found the most incredible wedding type dress you couldn't imagine in a container once!) or some I have gotten as birthday or christmas presents.
Number 3
I am a vegetarian for almost 10 years now. Actually I became vegetarian at first just because I was with a guy at the time who was quite strongly vegetarian and he really didn't like the idea of me eating meat! So, I tried it out, and it stuck with me..! I really couldn't come up with any good arguments why to eat meat by now. Furthermore I was raised by two semi vegetarian parents (my mum ate fish, chicken and.. bacon! as the only meat), so I never really ate much meat in the first place.
Number 4
I grew up in Copenhagen and always thought I was a city-girl. Didn't like much the countryside with all the smells of animal manure and all the monotonous fields.. Then I "grew up", started travelling and discovered wild nature! Now I'm never going back to the city again...!
Number 5
I am a Leo (zodiac), and as most Leos kind of proud of that, or at least satisfied! In Chinese Horoscope I am a Tiger. Fire and felines all way round!
Number 6
My hero in this world is Charles Eisenstein! He is the thinker and writer/speaker of this time that I resonate the most with. I think his writings are spot on with what is happening in our world and how to approach it.
Number 7
I just wrote an application to join a new eco village starting up in Denmark. This may be our future home..!
Number 8
Number 8 is my mother's favorite number. My mom's a cool gal who build her own house, sold it and is now living by herself, wanting to grow a permaculture garden, on a small Danish island!
Number 9
I haven't had a "real job" for 10 years...! I only had two real jobs in my life - one selling beers and sausages at the biggest football (soccer) Stadium in Denmark (and I'm not into soccer at all...!). The second was much more me - selling art materials in an old art material shop in the center of Copenhagen, where the Queen of Denmark buys her art materials! Yes I saw her in there once, and accidentally almost bumped into her, while a bit too deep in my notes of what needed to be ordered home!
Number 10
The final number! I made it this far, now I just have to think of the last thing... Hmm..
Of course I really can't think of anything for this last fact..! Ehh.. Okay, I studied biology at university..! But only the first 6 months... I did like it, but I just started travelling before starting uni and I got the fever... Just had to get out there again! Now, 10 years later I am trying to stop, but it was actually easier to start! I guess that's the deal with all habits!
Thank you for reading my random non-important facts! Maybe you know me a bit better by now..!
And then I have to nominate 3 people, that was worse...
Okay I'll nominate @vincentnijman, @trucklife-family and @starjewel Those were just the first people that came to my mind and I'd love to know you better! But of course just do it if you feel like..!
