Interview after much exam stress (though still one to go)
Interview from skep
1 (stolen from my bro because I think it a cool question). It's 2060 and you're looking back on what you consider to be a very good life, thus far. What made it good?
Making it to 2060! My death clock signs me off on September 3rd 2063, so the fact that I finished school, went to University and got out to Australia to set up my diving company makes me very happy.
My drummer brother earning his millions with his band "The Falling Ashes" that paid for the set-up of our company, and his artwork is on sale in the reception of my company so I have lots of customers. :D (The Falling Ashes)
I have spent every day of my life since I was about 25 under water.
Of course no life is complete without friends and loved ones, so my life-long friends of Kate and Al all feature muchly in this good life.
I am grateful for everything I have, I have no regrets, and I realise that perhaps even the mistakes were good as they made me who I am today.
2. Of all the books you've ever read, which one is your favourite?
Margh... thats tough! I should not be such a book fiend! Ok, so I don't have a definitive favourite, but I can list the favourites of each genre!
Sci-fi --> Mort, Terry Pratchett (one of the best books I have ever read)
And maybe spider-man 2. But that could be because Tobey Maguire's own fair hand wrote in the front of it *bounceDINGbounce*
Kids --> HP GoF (so hard to decide between this and the first one)
Think-y --> The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Mark Haddon
Girly --> Playing James, Sarah Mason (I laughed until I cried, despite being on the bus and people thinking I'm weird... not that they didn't think I was weird anyway)
Crime --> The Hitman Diaries, Danny King (so amusing yet freakishly sick)
Non-Fic --> Join Me, Danny Wallace
Classic --> Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte (tough, as also love Pride and Prejudice, North & South, Grimms Fairy Tales and Arabian Nights, but I read this when I was about 8 or 9, and loved it so much it took me about 4 hours to finish)
3. What is the one thing about people that you just don't understand?
Why everyone has to be so mean to each other. Seriously, I really don't get why people feel they have to make rude comments or gestures to anyone who is slightly different from the en-masse crowd around them. And this is something I really REALLY feel strong about. So much so that I now do not speak to a 'member' of my family as he suggested that my brother is more clever than me simply because I have more oestrogen than him. I mean, come on, for god's sake. So my brother is smart, and I'm glad that he knows how to use his head, but I should not be behind a sink or making dinner, and not going to work or voting, solely because I am a woman. So really, intolerance makes me mad. Any form of sexism, racism, homophobia or xenophobia just drives me utterly insane.
4. Which is the better instrument (seeing as you play them all) and why: piano, clarinet, saxomophone or guitar?
Clarinet. It was my first instrument!
But if I ever become good... guitar, baby. Hell yes.
5. What is your most beloved memory and why?
I have many, and feel lucky because of that. But my most recent beloved memory is getting off of a plane that I had been on for 12 hours all on my own (and having a 9 hour flight directly before that), getting through customs, entering a huge airport that was PACKED and being attacked with hugs by skep, and I didn't even see you coming! I was so tired and a little bit weepy as I felt very lost and to be greeted in such a fantastic way... let's just put it this way, it still makes me a little misty and I'll never EVER forget it.
Ooo! That was fun!
