oops.
so failte_aoife asked me 5 questions because i told her to and i never posted them and my answers. oops.
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on..
1. What was the first fandom you got obsessed with?
i'm not gonna lie. the kelly family. i was 12 when my friend got obsessed and made me listen to their music and everything. it was insane. i bought all the cds. videos. (because it was the early and mid-90s, no one had dvds back then. go figure!). every fucking magazine even if it was some lame tv magazine and they'd given the same kind of interview a thousand times. i had up to 40 penpals, exchanged pictures (again, there was no such thing as digital photography. we had to bring our pictures to a photo shop or drugstore and have them make copies of the actual images), went to 5 shows total, the first one when i was 13. i'd hardly ever listen to someone else. it was crazy, for sure. my family HATED them and me for listening to them all the time, ahaha.
the fact that lots of people made fun of them didn't matter, in fact, it made me love them more because they considered ME weird... haha. i don't know... i kind of fell out of love and became sane again when i was 15. i went to my last show a few months after my 16th birthday and even though it was nice, it just wasn't the same anymore. sometimes i still listen to them... especially patricia and jimmy have great voices.
2. Which country was the last you traveled to?
the USA. 7 hanson shows (yea, you probably want to call me obsessed again, huh? but i'm not. i listen to so many artists and have broadened my horizon in the last ten years, haha.)
3. Which song(s) can you listen in an infinite loop, and never get tired of?
hanson - mmmbop
ben kweller - i don't know why
billy joel - piano man
daniel powter - bad day
everybody else - the longest hour of my life
hanson - a song to sing
jack's mannequin - holiday from real
norah jones - sunrise
schandmaul - dein anblick
sister hazel - shame
goo goo dolls - iris
snow patrol - chasing cars
the wreckers - stand still, look pretty
...and probably a lot more... ;)
4. Favourite food and drink?
hm. anything sweet. i'm the incarnation of a girl with a sweet tooth. however, when it comes to real meals, i prefer italian, sometimes mexican or greek - or typical german stuff. (sometimes i just want my schnitzel mit pommes. sue me. :P )
i absolutely despise fish and seafood.
but i'd really rather have a dessert. or two. ;)
my favorite drink is orange soda. without a doubt.
5. Which movie really impressed you?
hm. i'm really not much of a movie geek. however, driving lessons and finding neverland are great movies.
but i have to admit that i prefer chick flicks that don't impress much. they're just fun to watch. life is hard enough...
