Who would you want to be stuck in a lift with?

(any answer is fine except a lift engineer) 

You. (but not in a creepy way). You are just a very interesting person to me at the moment. It would be cool to hear some of your stories.

I would be very cagey with anyone in that situation at first.  Would try and suss you out.  Soon as i established you were not a nutter then yes i can talk the hind legs off a donkey. 

 

Figured that much. You'd find me to be a good listener and not easily annoyed.
I'm not the greatest talker, but I ask pretty good questions.

I believe you wrote that you had a girlfriend.
Have you ever had a boyfriend?

Nope.
A few odd instances. One guy caught me flaming this poor girl online when I was 12. I thought she was being an idiot...turns out she had a learning disability (womp womp to me). I had no friends and he wanted to be my boyfriend so we exchanged a few emails and I called him once. He was a creepy 27 year old from Idaho.

Then there was a boy when I was in 7th grade who asked me out....but we were so awkward he broke it off before we ever managed to go out. I was glad. He kept wanting to kiss me and hold hands which made me nervous because I wasn't sure what was going on. It took me a few years after that not to be grossed out by tongues.

What did you like better, being home schooled or going to school?

I liked being home schooled better.

How much Latin have you studied? 

7th and 8th grade I took courses. Then I continued it for a year on my own, when I was home schooled. I stopped because I became interested in Arabic.

Bene, bene. Then you're probably better than I am.

Well...it's been about 8 years since... during that time I learned how to read and pronounce arabic (and basic vocab)...then moved onto spanish which I could speak very well, but I haven't practiced that in a few years.

Allahu akbar! Spanish should be easy after studying Latin 

It's 15 years since I studied any German, though I remember most, except that I sometimes forget what gender a noun is, though it's not quite logical with the German grammatical genders.

Alhamdulillah!

lol. Its been....um...about 12 years since practicing Deutsch. I went to a bilingual school for elementary so I was learning it K through 6th grade. I am confident if I found myself in Germany for some random reason I would learn to speak it pretty well within a month. All the sounds are natural for me, it's just a matter or relearning everything. After I started learning to speak spanish, whenever I tried to speak in German (to jerk my memory) I accidentally mixed up common words like aber/pero and would suddenly switch to spanish.

I currently remember as much as a one year old could speak in german.

Ich habe Deutsch in der Grundschule, im Gymnasium und an der Universität studiert. Spanisch habe ich doch nicht studiert. Mein Bruder hat es doch studiert, aber nur ein bißchen

This is what I can interpret without a dictionary (rusty from 12 years):

I had German in high school, in gym and studied it at University. I had Spanish [but?] I didn't study it. My brother had it and studied it, but [knows?] a little.

ah, just looked up nur and doch. I was close. Grundeschule is primary school? We just called it schule...und kindergarten.

"Grundschule" is elementary/primary. "Gymnasium" is highschool. European education systems might be confusing

Yeah...gymnasium...hmm 

We did watch movies about how german people live. I remember one about how they hang their worn clothes to air out on a line and then wear them later, without washing. To this day I do that once in awhile. My grandpa is german.
