You'll never be this way again
If you’ve been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question.
Tag eleven people. Don’t refuse to do that. Don’t tag who tagged you.
As much as this meme wants me to tag people, I won't, because I'm a little alienated from my flist at the moment and there probably wouldn't be as much as the required eleven people I could tag. :D Sorry. I was tagged by timbitzk.
→ What's your favorite season?
Hmmmm. I love summer, but then again I also love autumn. Reasons are entirely different, so it's hard to choose between them, really. I love summer for the holiday, for the sun and happiness and spending time with friends and being free and careless. But autumn has the chilly mornings, the nights that are actually dark, it's cold outside that makes the act of staying indoors, drinking tea and reading a book feel awesome. It also makes you want to just wander around aimlessly and listen to music while at it and pretty much froze your fingers off. There's also school that's both a plus and a minus, more of a plus though I think. Summer has the happy, autumn has the melancholy (of the good kind), and I'm incapable of picking one over another. I have a feeling I'm thinking about this a little too hard...
→ What’s the latest movie you watched?
Double Indemnity, just finished watching it actually. Yay for film-noir watched in the middle of the night. In theaters, I last saw Inception.
→ What is the one skill you wish you had?
PLAYING PIANO. And any instrument I come across. I'd love to be some sort of musical genius really. I'd also like to speak more languages (maybe French (I used to study French, actually, but due to several reasons it never really... worked). OR LATIN, yes, Latin.)
→ What’s your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Don't know if it counts as fandom as I'm only lurking, but Sherlock.
→ What's your favorite musical instrument?
As if I could answer anything else than (classical) guitar as I've been playing it six years now. But I really like the piano as well. I already stated I'd love to be able to play it myself, but I also really like just listening to it being played. I'm pretty much hypnotized if someone who actually can play the piano plays it, I could just sit and listen to that several hours straight.
→ What web sites do you always visit when you go online?
Msn hotmail, twitter, LJ. Almost always last.fm and youtube too.
→ What was the last thing you bought?
A baguette with delicious chicken-mayonnaise filling (nom nom nom) this afternoon. No wait, I bought a bar of chocolate after that. Um, anyway, if food doesn't count that would be Dog Man Star by Suede and Mulholland Drive on dvd a couple of days ago as I decided I needed to buy something nice for myself. Just because.
→ If you won 10,000 bucks today, what would you do with it?
First, I'd quit my job. That wasn't exactly asked but decided to share it anyway, BECAUSE I TOTALLY WOULD. Anyway, part of my 10,000 bucks I'd use travelling around the world a bit, would take a couple of friends with me and would pay for them as well. The rest I'd save for later (if ther would be any left, hmm hmm).
→ Favourite time of day?
This is hard, it depends so much on the day. I'm not a morning person anyway, so definitely not morning then. Except that I quite do like even mornings if I've had enough sleep and can have a slow, lazy breakfast and... yeah. I dunno, really.
→ What's the last thing that made you cry?
I cry very easily and because of silly things, that's all you need to know.
→ Do you want to learn another language?
Yes please! I speak Finnish and English fluently (...I hope, anyway) and probably could manage with Swedish, but I'm not happy with just them. It'd be cool to speak French or Spanish (or Latin).
→ Five things you can’t live without.
Am I gonna go with the obvious? I guess. So: other people (certain of them anyway), love, music (and other things I'm so passionate about that my life would be ridiculously empty without), freedom of thought and speech, and freedom in general. And food and water and oxygen etc of course, but didn't see the point of mentioning them really.
And a surprise!music meme:
1. If you'd like to play along, reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. You then list (and upload or link to the video, if you feel like it) 5 (6, 7) songs that start with that letter.
3. Then, as I'm doing here, you'll post the list to your journal with the instructions. Easy peasy!
I was given the letter S by girlofjuly. All of these songs I've been listening to a lot lately, greatly recommended.
1. Shot in The Back of The Head by Moby
2. The Same Space by Klaxons (from the brilliant new album *___*)
3. The Saga by The Libertines
4. Shoplifters of the World Unite by The Smiths
5. So Young by Suede
