When I look at your self-portraits I can't help feeling you would have preferred an aquatic or at least semi-aquatic life.

now i do. what i prefer is when i lay on my back with my ears under water level. (this is taking your semi-aquatic expression to the limits of literal)
then if we want to talk about the symbolism of it, maybe i am preparing to the "adventure" of life in reverse. i'm now at the last stage, the amniotic phase.
unfortunately, in both ways, i never could learn to hold my breath under the water.

most difficult question.
till now i haven't been able to accept any-thing/place/one. but that have been only lately. lately as in the late years.
before i was such an adaptable person. and not only amphibious.

I was never adaptable. Maybe that makes it easier, I don't know better. Here's a story about me I love: when I went to nursery school, after a week or so they took me aside and explained to me that the idea was that I was supposed to learn to speak Dutch, and not for me to teach the entire school to speak English. Haha, I must be a natural-born teacher, somewhere deep inside!

well, that was totally logic. your young mind was thinking in the good way. that was before they explained to you how it SHOULD think.
the word "should", how many stupidity could be avoided if it didn't exist, ha?

yes, i do think you are a natural teacher.
one of your qualities, as well as one of your flaws.

I'm sorry. Though you can't claim that stubbornness isn't an integral part of your Self

Ok, the something else then.. Of course I have no idea what it's about exactly, but there are plenty of hooks for my imagination to hold onto and fill in the blanks. And that's called poetry, isn't it?

(I have to admit, I had to re-read it N times, but hey, maybe the most elusive poetry is the best in the end)

oh, you only have to ask.. hmm.. everybody who knows me! stubborn, that's me
but i know how to say sorry too

you don't have too, it's me, writing cryptic things. (but i gave a lot of clues : ))

i'm one of those people who, when they lie, have to say they are lying.
a very big handicap in life i can assure you

Too bad you don't like politics, you do sound like a natural talent. My parents used to think I was a terrible liar because I would give myself away when I did. What they didn't know was that I did that on purpose with the minor offences, so I could lie more convincingly about the more serious stuff. And no, I'm not really a manipulative person, I was just manipulating them back.

Great talking to you again

haha, sounds exactly like me. when it's really important i can lie without blinking.
in all the other cases, why bother.
i enjoy telling the truth and scandalizing others

yes, too bad i don't like _understand nothing to_ politics.

yes, missed our talks too
