My truth

[pherus]

I go through random phases of feeling open (as opposed to my usual cagey, elusive self), and this has been doing the rounds, so I thought I'd join in:

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself)

Okay...an easy starter: what's your favorite color?

What's the one thing you want to do more than anything?

What's your peace?

[pherus]

1) Red. Red = blood, fire and anger. Red also = love. I'd say that sums me up perfectly.

Of course, red = my hair, too :)

2) Something that embodies what I've spent my life doing i.e. turning people onto bands. Maybe start a record label or a promotional venture. Something to do with music, anyhow.

3) Music. The specifics of this depend entirely on what mood I'm in, but so far this year I'd have been nowhere without "Xuvetyn" by Lovesliescrushing and "Four-Calendar Cafe" by the Cocteau Twins. Both of those albums take me to a wonderful, peaceful place somewhere inside my soul.

1) This is going to sound really nebulous, but it's to achieve my full potential. I'll explain: having ASD, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you're useless and can't do anything, and I know that if I put my mind to it, I can be so much more than I think I am.

I can't think of anything more specific. Sorry!

2) Getting a 2:1.

3) I've never considered music to be embarrassing, but I'll answer this anyway.

On a personal level, I'm mildly exasperated at myself that I own three Kill II This albums. To paraphrase buddyhead.com, Kill II This were kind of like the Tupperware of metal; you wake up one morning and think "hey... why the fuck do I own all this shit?"

In terms of albums that other people have taken the piss out of me for owning, that'd be a fight between Limp Bizkit's "Chocolate Starfish", "Weathered" by Creed and the two Avril Lavigne albums.

Great K2T analogy. I'm mildly annoyed that I've seen the same band three times, and, in comparison, saw Gorky's ONCE and Sleater-Kinney never.

What is your favourite film?

Do you enjoy living in Coventry or would you like to live somewhere else?

Whatr is your favourite alcoholic tipple?

[pherus]

1) Depending on which way I'm moodswinging, either "The Wall" or Monty Python's "The Holy Grail"

2) I don't dislike living in Coventry, but I would like to live in other places during my life. I just don't want to die having only ever lived in central England, y'know?

3) Newcastle Brown or Heineken. Or rose wine if I'm feeling pseudo-sophisticated.

How would you describe yourself in a lonely hearts ad?

Who has been your most embarrassing crush been on?

Any distinguishing marks?

[pherus]

1) Intensely intense, hypersensitive, idealistic, music-obsessed, beyond-hopeless-romantic redhead seeks female who can put up with all of the above. Loyalty and respect will be received in return.

2) Probably Rayna from Coal Chamber, my only defense for which is "at least it wasn't Val from Pist.On" (yes I was a teenager of the nu-metal explosion).

3) Several scars, the most noticable of which is the one across my right eyebrow from when I got knocked flying and smacked my head against a monitor during a Mistress gig. I took four stitches in the name of rock and roll.

[pherus]

I know, but that's not what was embarrassing about it. I'm never entirely comfortable with celebrity crushes, as they're generally based on looks alone. Let's face it, I don't know Rayna personally, nor will I ever.

I know I'm late but......

Where are the places you most want to live?

How far would you go to see the Cocteau Twins?

Er............*having trouble thinking of a decent question, so....*

If you were Alice, would you go down that rabbit hole?

[pherus]

1) I can't think of anywhere specific, though America has always intrigued me, and Joe's visit there has piqued my interest further.

2) If money wasn't an object, I'd probably fly to the moon to see them. Since it is, though, I doubt I'd leave the country.

3) No. I'd go home and have a good night's sleep, and then get up and solve whatever problem was stressing me out to the extent that I was seeing talking rabbits with watches.
