To celebrate the Eurovision is a whole year away again, one of the older songs
And since I did my mourning when I found out about Dennis Hoppers fatal illness. He died yesterday. Here’s something to celebrate his life
And from dischargie I got this
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 so on and so on and so on...
1.) Do you think you are a different person due to your addiction?
I’m different from other people who don’t have addictive behaviour, I realised that when I started my fight against alcohol and especially after I became sober. I believed everyone drank like me or had the same feeling about drinking, same purpose. I have some flash memories of wondering why people behaved so strange, like turning down a drink I never would have said no to. Not that I never said no to a drink in the past. Just never the fourth JAnd looking back I’ve always been an addict, first big addiction was my pacifier, had to give that up when I got dental braces. A brief fling with shoes when I was 13, books couldn’t pass a bookshop for many years, QAF, movies and DVDs and LJ, but I think I’ve got it under control. ;)
2.) What do you love the most about Denmark?
This is a tough one, since we’re the best country in the world ;P I think it’s the fact that we are very close to a working democracy and being a well fare state, as long as it lasts.
3.) What is your guilty pleasure?
I really like La vida loca and I’m definitely not a Ricky Martin fan, but that song. Oh and I like to sniff whisky, sometimes when the kids have friends over, it’s me removing the bottles and that smell is just heaven. I don’t feel guilty, but I know some of the people around me would be scared that it could be the way back to drinking.
4.) What are you doing when you want to relax?
The obvious is couch, snacks, movie and being home-alone, a purring cat nearby helps a lot. This also works best if the house is in order. In summer; it’s sitting on the balcony with tea, reading or writing. I do relax when taking a walk to the nearby ‘lakes’, sitting on a bench and looking at people and water, unfortunately feeding the ducks is prohibited.
5.) What does LJ mean to you?
LJ is my latest addiction and a mighty good one, it opened up a new world/life to me. I’m grateful I found it, I’ve met some awesome people, it’s very therapeutic. I feel like I belong, I’m part of a group. And I can speak freely about anything. It’s great entertainment, funny, sad, giving. It’s real people letting me into their lives and showing interest in mine. I learn a lot, get inspired. My life is a better place with LJ
And later this afternoon, I'm giving Andreas a mohawk cut. ;)
