His name is Bunchie, the phallic-looking llamasaur! ...on ecstacy, apparently.

Helene wrote:

I DON'T HAVE WLB YET! OmegaOrder suuucks...
On MWS, I really didn't care for "Our Great Divide". At all. The whole album to be honest is pretty "meh" for me...

Helene wrote:

Your celebrity crush?

I have many many. Tarja is big up there. Otherwise, I like Tori Amos, Emilie Autumn, Anna Madeley, Karina Lombard, Courtney Cox, Catherine Zeta-Jones...
There's a lot.

Would you like to be born as a man or woman and why?
If you could describe yourself as a sound, what sound would it be?
What's the weather you feel more comfortable with?
Do you work? What's your job?

What could make you go really AAHHGHSSJKK*RAGE*AHHGG no matter what, no matter when, no matter who?

In the other hand, what could make you go awwwtearyshalalayaywootweee, no matter what, no matter when, no matter who?

The worst movie you have ever seen?

Please could you stop the noise? I'm trying to get some rest from all the unborn chicken voices in my head.

You ten years ago. What were you doing around this time?

What´s the best concert you´ve ever attended?

how are you?
what do/did you study?

I'm quite happy I was born as a woman - I love all things feminine! (Uhm, except maybe my period...)

crucified_vampire wrote:

"Squawk"

crucified_vampire wrote:

What's the weather you feel more comfortable with?

Probably summer weather; although lately, I've been really digging this coming-winter weather, it makes me feel all snuggly...

crucified_vampire wrote:

Do you work? What's your job?

I have a job of winners... McDonalds. But hey, the hours are good, and a job is a job.

Someone spitting, or someone trying to give me a shot. Excess saliva REALLY grosses me out, and I'm terribly needlephobic. I almost punched a poor nurse who tried to draw blood from me once...

Eressa wrote:

A FOOT MASSAGE I looove them. It's the only proven way to get me to stop talking.

Eressa wrote:

"Twilight" was pretty goddamn awful. I kept screaming at the bad direction.

Eressa wrote:

Well now, it's not MY fault if they want to be extra noisy when we're all playing basketball, now is it? IS IT?!

Eressa wrote:

Around this time in life, I'd probably be picking at my new braces and learning multiplication songs. (I was nine.) Around this time in particular, 3:20pm, I'd be arriving home from school, trying to figure out some way to procrastinate on my homework.

That would probably have to be Tarja in San Francisco! The turn-out was very low (sadly ), but that is good as a concert-goer, for that means you can squeeze right to the front of the stage with no problem! I was with someone who later turned out to be my fiancee on a second date, and met a few friends that night I am still friends with. And of course, there was the actual concert - not only was Tarja amazing, but every musician on that stage shown with incredible brightness and talent. I loved it.

Oh I'm quite fine at the moment, thank you for asking. How are you?

Evie wrote:

what do/did you study?

When I was in college, I studied music. However, I was sort of disappointed that I was learning the same things I did in high school all over again at college (only this time, we had to pay for it) - and this included the music courses. I dropped out due to depression and bad events and started working full time at McDonalds. Don't know if I'll go back yet.

Obscured wrote:

"Nemo"... I was so blown away. Until that time, I had never heard a single thing like that style.

Obscured wrote:

Spyro, because he's badass

Obscured wrote:

"White Witch, Black Curse" by Kim Harrison

I play keyboard. Harpsichord, piano, and cello are my favorites though.

Obscured wrote:

They are now.

Obscured wrote:

Death... I was a very morbid child. Also, a very young soul, so I guess that's a natural fear...

Obscured wrote:

What's the first thing you thought when you woke up this morning?

Do you smoke?

What are the TV shows of your childhood?

Star Wars or Star Trek?

Karina

Karina wrote:

"Why is it so freaking hot? ...and why is my nose all stuffed up? I better not be getting sick..."
The sun was shining in, right on my face. Still no idea why my nose was stuffed up though.

Karina wrote:

Do you smoke?

Not cigarettes...

Karina wrote:

Oh man! I watched "Jewel Riders" and "Sailor Moon" religiously. How come there aren't any female action heros anymore for kids?

Karina wrote:

Star Wars or Star Trek?

I better say Star Trek, out of respect for the totally geeky family members of mine who worship the franchise...

•1.) What's the best gift you've ever received in your entire existence so far?

Good question...
For my 17th birthday, my Grandma got me VIP Meet-and-Greet Nightwish tickets to a show ON MY EXACT BIRTHDAY. That was pretty freaking awesome.
I'm also thinking of my last Valentine's Day present, because it was homemade. Homemade, creative gifts are the best!

Puffin wrote:

•2.) Would you ever sell your soul to the "Devil" and if you would then for what reason? Yes, I can be cynical too.

I might ask for riches; I'd surely love to have a private jet...

Puffin wrote:

•3.) The worst injury you've ever had?

I've been pretty lucky to have never had anything series... my sister and I were wrestling as kids and she stabbed me under the eye with a pencil, and that was pretty serious (we weren't sure for a while whether I'd go blind or not.) I still have a scar, but I'm not blinded.

Puffin wrote:

•4.) Favorite childhood book?

"Is Your Mama a Llama?"

Puffin wrote:

•5.) If you could travel back in time then what period would you visit?

I'd totally go back to 500 B.C. Greece and bang Sappho. What? I'm just being honest.
I'd also looove to go visit Victorian England. And Renaissance-era France.

Puffin wrote:

•6.) If Tarja was randomly driving around where you live and she accidently hit you with her car, how would you react?

HAHA WIN! I have no idea why she'd be driving around here; surely she'd be lost, so I'd give her some directions. I'd probably be too giddy that she was Tarja to be mad that she hit my car... BUT! I'd need her phone number anyway, you know, to contact her when I hear back from my insurance...

Puffin wrote:

•7.) If you could speak any foreign language which one would you choose?

Swedish!

Puffin wrote:

•8.) Favorite fictional character?

At the moment, I'm still really obsessed with Margaret Prior from the book (and especially her portrayl in the movie) "Affinity" by Sarah Waters. I also dig Ivy Tamwood from the "Hollows" series by Kim Harrison.

Probably the power of flight

What question which has not been mentioned yet would you like to be asked?

I am fine thanks for asking..

How do you like working at MCdonalds? which position do you have? I worked as floor manager there 2 years ago. I liked it.

I have the power of the force on my side, as a powerful Jedi Master whose padawan braid was cut about almost 5 years ago. How will your puny trekkie powers stand up against that?

1. Favorite song?

2. Favorite movie?

3. Favorite color?

4. Favorite actor?

5. Favorite actress?

Oh ... really? Talk about unexpected ...

OK, my questions:

* "I hope I'm becoming more eccentric. More room in the brain." (Tom Waits) Eccentricity is good for your mental health, says psychologist Dr. David Weeks. Who is the most positively insane person you know (not counting yourself, of course)?

* Do you like Salvador Dalí, and what do you like most about him?

* Why don't you attend a proper music school? Like Berklee or Juilliard.

Another one I just thought of:

* "What if I'm a world unturning?" What does "unturning" mean? Not moving at all, or somehow spinning in another direction? Or something else? What do you think?

Aha, yes... I had a good one there with that question. Anyways, I'd kill to have Tarja hit my on accident with her car. (Yay, for my fruit-loop pun. ) Getting her number for insurance reasons is perfectly acceptable... *cough*

Now, to more questions. Hmm...

• 1.) Are you a good dancer and is there a certain type of dance that you excel at?
  
  
• 2.) If your life happened to be turned into a song then what would the title be?
  
  
• 3.) What's your favorite full album?
  
  
• 4.) Do you have any serious allergies and if yes then to what?
  
  
• 5.) What were the three happiest moments in your life so far?
  
  
• 6.) Do you have any vices?

I'm a general crew member, but I almost ALWAYS work drive-thru. I stand there in the back for eight hours usually. It's fine, because we're pretty busy (we usually do around 100 cars per hour at lunch rush), but sometimes my legs hurt.
I do like the actual job, but not so much some of the people. But hey, isn't that every job?

That changes daily... at the moment, it's probably "Shallot" by Emilie Autumn.

2. Favorite movie?

WALL-E
I also really like "La Vie en Rose" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven".

Myla wrote:

3. Favorite color?

Clear aquamarine, like a pool of water in the sunlight.

Myla wrote:

4. Favorite actor?

I don't know if I have one!

Myla wrote:

5. Favorite actress?

I REALLY love Meryl Streep. She is incredible. (Not to mention she's also studied the technique of Uta Hagen!)

Figuratively insane or mentally insane? Because I know both...
I think figuratively insane would be my friend from high school. She's probably the one person I know who's more all-over-the-place than I!

Almagest wrote:

* Do you like Salvador Dalí, and what do you like most about him?

I do like Dali! My parents actually have some art of his around the house. I too have a copy of his painting "Female Figure with a Head of Flowers", because it meant something special to me at that time. I really like the slight creepy qualities, the color contrasts, the dream-like chaos.

Almagest wrote:

* Why don't you attend a proper music school? Like Berklee or Juilliard.

I'm not good enough for those schools. Aside from my grades being low and lacking the genius-amount of talent needed, it'd be a nightmare. Voice would be fine, I learned singing in the traditional classical style, but when it came to piano, my teachers would pull their hair out. I'm self-taught, and apparently the way I play is very upsetting to pianists.

Almagest wrote:

* "What if I'm a world unturning?" What does "unturning" mean? Not moving at all, or somehow spinning in another direction? Or something else? What do you think?

"Unturning" to me sounds like not moving - standing still, having no progress, no growth.

Indeed, twas a win question! Now I keep looking for bad Tarja drivers whenever I go out...

Puffin wrote:

• 1.) Are you a good dancer and is there a certain type of dance that you excel at?

I'm always asked if I'm a dancer (apparently I look like one ) but I'm actually TERRIBLE at dancing.

Puffin wrote:

• 2.) If your life happened to be turned into a song then what would the title be?

Something along the lines of "Recovery and Discovery" I think.

Puffin wrote:

• 3.) What's your favorite full album?

Probably "Little Earthquakes" by Tori Amos. Almost every single song on that album is pure perfection. It's timeless, and the lifetime of the songs themselves seems to be infinite.

Puffin wrote:

• 4.) Do you have any serious allergies and if yes then to what?

I have allergies to pollen, dust, and a mild allergy to grass. Living out hear in constructing farmland is a nightmare in the spring.

Puffin wrote:

• 5.) What were the three happiest moments in your life so far?

1.) I remember swinging on my friend's swing when I was about four (yes, I remember that ) because she had a swing hanging from the ceiling inside her house. That day was fantastic.
2.) From when I was maybe ten or eleven, I spent the day at an amusement park with that same friend and our sisters. That was awesome.
3.) Seeing Nightwish on my birthday with the Meet-and-Greet was just pure win. First thing to me out of Tuomas's mouth was, "Hello. You are very pretty." I was crying. How embarrassing. (But that was awesome, nonetheless!)

Puffin wrote:

• 6.) Do you have any vices?

Nope.
Uhm, actually, I think food is a pretty big vice for me.

Viveka:

we could sit on drive-thru

how many times have you seen Tarja?

OMG Almagest I loooooove that song ("What If" by Emilie Autumn, right?). Like a month ago I translated it to spanish and though I had no idea about the meaning of "unturning" I guessed it meant "that doesn't turns or spins" ... seems like I was right .

Ok Viveka, since I do NOT want to get shot with millions of questions when my turn comes (which I hope will be in the very future ), I'll ask only one thing:

Are you happy?

(sounds obvious but the answer may vary from each person, so... ).

Evie
REALLY?? I once asked for a chair, and my manager laughed at me. T_T

Evie wrote:

Only once, during the Storm in America tour in San Francisco. I'm planning on seeing her twice more though with Tosca in London and Paris.
