…I give the Death Stare to any driver who dares get in my way.

…Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the only kind of oil I have ever known.�

…I take naps between 3pm and 5 pm on most days.�

…I adore tragedies

…I wear my emotions in the same way I wear my earrings. Over the top and proportionately bigger than anything else on my body.

…I speak and argue and fight �in exactly the same decibel. (i.e LOUDLY!) �

…I have a strict wax appointment every three weeks

…I have the number of my neighbourhood souvlaki joint on speed dial

…I roll my r’s

…the minimum amount of time I will spend over one coffee is 2 hours

I didn’t realize Greek people are all loud about everything. Maybe I’m a smidge Greek myself? And I should probably date Greek men as well.

Love it! Especially about naps and the same decibel…is that a Greek specific thing? My YiaYia and Papou do the same exactly. Ha
