I don't think it's a problem that will end how it seems.  Trying to stay nice and cryptic.

are you any kind of LGBT?

Yeah I suppose so.  I've dated guys and girls.  I don't like to label myself. I just love people, not genitalia.

Do you by chance have a German accent when you speak English?

Currywurst is so good. Do you like curry in the ketchup or curry on the ketchup better?

If I get excited it comes out pretty heavily.  Some people say they hear it but I don't think I have an accent.

I prefer it already in the ketchup myself.  Especially if it was made by someone who knew what they were doing.

I have this strange thing where I can no longer speak any language apart from German with a slight accent. Even my native language, Afrikaans, has a slight English-German accent, while my English has a slight Afrikaans-German accent. I think I can speak Latin with the proper accent, but I'm not sure. My French is just terrible when I try to speak it. Not that I can speak much of it.

And I've also realised that people aren't always completely aware of their accents. There isn't anything wrong with having an accent, it just shows that you've got a rich linguistic history.

How did you end up being born in America and living there?

My parents are from East Berlin.  They came over after the wall fell and had me.  After some time when things started to pick back up in Berlin, my father was given a promotion to run a plant there.  So I lived there for a while. We still spend summers there though.  Well not this summer since I got a job here.

Well, when life gives you lemons...

Perhaps you can explore some local parts that you don't often get to explore on the weekends? I've found that some epic adventures can be found right around the corner from my house when I look properly.

That said, which locations of Germany have you visited?

I lived in Berlin, so most of the area around there. We would go to the Black Forest sometimes and that was cool. Saw a game in Allianz Arena, got to vacation in Amsterdam.  Been to most of the major cities, though the string of cities on the western border I don't really remember. I was pretty young them.

It's time to bring out the big guns again. Up until now I've asked relatively light questions. The following ones are really going to determine my final opinion of you as a person.

Cats or dogs?

Both?  I love kitties.  But I also have a puppy and she's great.

That's  cool.

I was born in Singapore to my family and we moved to the States when I was two months old.  I lived mainly in the midwest and east coast.  After university, the job (when I had good work) moved me to the Left Coast.

Well, I suppose some people can like both.

Is it better to be smart or lucky?
