This morning when I woke up, the girl on the radio reminded me of A.
"Today is Tuesday, boekskesdag!" *I know, it's Thursday by now, but whatever
Automatically I thought of A.'s desk drowning in a new weekly batch of boekskes... and this a day after she cleaned it up, poor gal.
But let's retrospect for a second...
When I was A.'s neighbour for the politics-episode of the quiz I didn't know that much about her.
Nothing actually... except for her reputation as 'magazine gal' or boekskeswijf
In other words dreaded competition cause she knows about everything about everyone in about every corner of "celebrity world" - and no, there was no peeking for answers! (okay, there was, but that was reciprocal)
But firstly she was - and is - incredibly fun to talk to and such a sweet girl!
And of course ^_^ very open: already after 15 minutes I was updated on the entire story of her and Al., a guy she really liked - this gave us immediately a conversation opener for the next couple of weeks - with information on their mutual whereabouts, messaging, meetings etc :)
*I could detect some butterflies :D
But back to the quiz...
*Funny thing: when I watch the quiz-episodes again, I can understand my friends a little bit better in their "Where is Waldo"-quest *or more like "Where is C.?"* cause even though I know where I was seated, I look like a dog in front of a fish tank watching his favourite fish swim by - or whatever comparison seems appropriate...
First round: inquiry - or how does the Fleming think *aka pain-in-the-ass-round*
One of the questions involved a more 'naughty' question: which of the following female politicians would you like to see naked? With resolute determination I pressed B *not joking... I have it on tape - or DVD actually - me in close-up excessively decisively pressing the button
The next question involved a slightly repulsive equivalent of the previous: which of the following male politicians would you like to see naked?
A) A. De Croo *ieuw... no way... never... not for a million box... God no... no no... message to my visual mind: STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!
B) K. Peeters *Flemish Prime Minister, aka George Clooney of the Wetstraat... possibly... probably...
C) B. De Wever *lost 50 kilos in six months, so blubby belly... nah ah... didn't think so...
So I pressed B...
... and it turns out the average Fleming answered A... ieuw... no no... ieuw *don't...wanna...think...about...it
*emphatically unwanted mental picture... this would haunt me...
Second round: pictures
Q1: which of these is not a 'political' couple?
*aaaand again close-up of me
The intermezzo of co-show host Sam brought him to A.: "Where there's gossip, there's A. van de boekskes... you read them all right?" - "Yes, all of them, I've got them all on my desk!"
*and look at her smiling ^_^ (hereby message to me: close your mouth C., you look like a retard... of course on national television, since I was right next to A....)
Q6: which of these liberals is the youngest: A) A. De Croo, B) J.-J. De Gucht, C) M. De Clerq
*... I don't give a damn about politics... djeez, how am I supposed to know? ... I guess... C)
In the mean time, co-show host Sam was standing in front of me for his intermezzo *ouf... exciting ^_^
"C., did you answer correctly?" - "Mmm, neh," I knodded apathetically, but with my usual big smile - "Though, you did play the finale once, lost by a bit, but this round isn't your best?" - "Nope, not really..." I said frowning simultaneously with the big smile *weird sight... gotta admit* - "C., you're 26 and still single..." - "Uhu" - "Which one of these three is on your 'to do'-list?" - "Ugh! None of them"
*Dear Lord, the thought alone... I later on received a message from S. saying: "Well said, girl ;)", so thank God... it's good to know there are still other sane women on the planet (and there were more of them in the recording room... strangely enough to the inquiry results, more or less all women Sam talked to...)
Evidently...
Oh... by the end of that episode A. and I had created a virus ^_^ ... the one of applauding synchronically with the quiz jingle aka being a pain in the ass of the sound editors
TO BE CONTINUED
