Accept my opinion more because I'm a girl? I'm used to having the opposite issue: having my opinion disregarded because I'm a woman, but that happens on Brazilian forums, not here. I think some may have a soft spot for me, but even those disagree with me from time to time, so I don't think me being a girl plays out positively for them to accept my opinions about football.

I try to be nice to everyone, I try to respect everyone (even though sometimes I use my metaphorical French when I'm mad about a situation, normally involving the club or the players, rarely the members and their opinions, unless they're too nonsensical) and I'm a girl among literally hundreds of men, so of course I think it's only natural some of them, or many of them, look me at with good eyes in general, after all, even in an internet forum, too much testosterone must become just that, too much and a bit of estrogen might be welcome even if for the sake of it.

But I guess most just treat me equally. Calling me on my BS when I'm the one speaking nonsense and supporting me when I make sense. At least I hope so.

Could work both ways i guess. Being a girl on a football forum where 95% of the members are men can be good OR bad.

Another question: How do you manage to always write long responses, really? Takes a long time.

I don't watch much TV and don't go to the movies often, but that's because I grew out if the habit as I love watching good movies and some romcom.

Angelina Jolie, Robert Redford, Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Sean Connery, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves among others.

In Portuguese there's a saying: eating and

praying all you need is start. That's true imo

Favorite staff member? (Please keep in mind while answering this that I have a very fragile ego and I'd probably cry if you said someone else :ph34r: )

No seriously, whose posts on here do you enjoy most? Who do you think is the nicest poster around?

I'm very talkative in person and a writer... so it's unavoidable. But look this answer only took me 20 words! ;)

The staff member is a fair tie between you and Lex. Love you both, but Jason is definitely my least favorite one by a fair lead :P

I just love Peace.'s posts and I really wished he posted more, he's an amazing poster with a great view of the sport (as most French guys) and such a nice person.

I also love The Skipper, The only place to be posts. One is very analytical and levelheaded, with opinions I agree with most of time and always very polite and while it bothers some that the other is very attached to English players, England style and stuff, I think it's endearing and he should indeed be proud and love his country and country mates. Also I think he speaks a lot of sense.

You're definitely the nicest of them all, Chou. By a fair lead too.

But I really like most of you guys. If I could mention all the names I would take the time. There are very few obnoxious people around here imo or people I don't have much affinity with.

How far portugal will go in WC14?

Brazil vs Germany in WC14 Final (IF). Each team are one win away for crowned as the Champions of World Cup 2014. Who's your favorite for winning that match?

I think Portugal may have problems to get passed the group phase if Ronaldo doesn't recover quickly as USA can challenge them for the second place. If Cris is fit though, I think they'll qualify 2nd in their group and will probably play Belgium. Then I really don't know who would pass.

Germany.

Celebrity crush?

Angelina Jolie and Blake Lively. I'd change teams for either of them :P

Seriously speaking (as serious as having a crush can be anyway) I think my latest crush was Joseph Morgan... last year. I don't have a current one I suppose, but I've had many throughout my whole life, regardless of my age. Brad Pitt, Jon Bon Jovi, Ian Somerhalder, etc...

My biggest crush though was for Fernando Gonzalez - a Chilean tennis player during my mid-20s. I used to call him my alternate universe husband :P

Mine too! :D

I think I actually blushed in real life :blush:

You're just saying that....

One more question which has intrigued me, if I may: Why didn't you apply for the moderator position last month? I really expected you to.

Because I have no patience with moderating people. When I was 19-20 I used to moderate a channel in the extinct mIRC and gosh it was a lot of work. I'd have to dedicate time and stretch my thinning patience, and I'm not willing to do either tbh. I've said beforehand though that I wouldn't apply when someone suggested my name some time ago... I do admire you guys for the tons of effort, commitment and work you put here to keep this amazing place running. I'd rather give money - which I haven't last month, but will this one. It's a contribution that fits better my mood these days :lol:

You should know I'm 100% honest, sweetie, you know I love you :wub: you're one of the nicest people I've ever come across in the internet.

Barbara on my hotlap, wooot yeah..

I mean tc's hotseat ;)

You're cheering for Belgium?

You're gonna miss Luiz?

I'm lying in my bed while in this hot seat. Then again I spend most time in bed anyway :P

Belgium is my second in the cheering order (Germany being the first)

I won't miss Luiz at all. Love the geezer, but I support our players while they're here. He isn't one of them anymore, so good luck for him, but I hope PSG keep sucking in UCL, more and more actually. Luiz was never a player I was emotionally attached. The only players in our squad I had an emotional connection with were Lamps and Terry. One got a new contract, the other is leaving. Everyone else I may miss as a footballer or their persona, but I'm over it the moment the news are up.

what is your morning routine?

Leave the alarm going through snooze for 20 minutes, buzzing every 5 minutes

Stand up, stretch my body, go to the bathroom. If I'm not late and it's not too cold, I take a shower, if I'm late or just on time, I just brush my teeth, brush my hair, go back to the bedroom, put clothes on, shoes on, and then leave to work.

Normally at this time of the year I rather take showers before going to bed. I'm too slow in the morning, for me to take a shower normally I'd take 15 minutes, early in the morning I'd take 25 at least and I'd rather sleep those minutes through snooze mode in the alarm, hahahaha.

On the weekends I wake up and stay in bed for as long as I can, sometimes sleeping again, sometimes just enjoying the comforting warmth of my blankets (now in the fall)
