Work has got me on edge these last couple of weeks (months?), but hopefully things will clear up soon. :| For my own sanity.
Today's questions are courtesy of siberian_angel
1. What do you think of Justin Bieber?
Other than that he is a pop singer who manages to turn Oslo completely on its head, I don't really know anything about him. I haven't heard any of his songs (as far as I am aware).
Kids/teens will always have their idols. I don't really see what's so special about him, I can't picture myself being amongst the beliebers even if I had been within his target audience. I've never been into the whole boy band/boy wonder thing. Thinking about all the money he's making makes me want to barf. He also manages to say ludicrous things, there was no escaping the Anne Frank remark.
He is your typical boy wonder idol, I guess?
2. When did you last have Pasta for dinner?
Last week I had pasta for dinner two days in a row :|
3. Häagen Dasz or Ben&Jerry's and why?
Hmmm. Neither brand is all that common here. It's imported and expensive, even though Ben&Jerry's do have an ice cream parlor in Oslo, I've never been in there. They always have a ridiculous line on days when it's warm enough to have ice cream.
I think I'm leaning towards Ben&Jerry's, but I'm sad to say it's mostly because of the funny flavour names (they make it easier to remember what the ice cream actually tastes like).
4. What did you paint/doodle when you were a child?
Weird monsters with large heads, no bodies, and looooooong legs. I don't even know. I never drew much when I was a kid, I got easily distracted and found the whole thing rather boring (I am amazed I made it through art school).
5. What's your favorite Anime series?
I haven't really watched or been into anime in ages. I guess I picked it back up earlier this year, and Steins;Gate is definitely a show worth watching. I picked up a lot of merch when I was in Japan this spring ... I even did a cosplay of one of the characters last month. Haha.
I have watched a lot of good shows lately Steins;Gate and Psycho-Pass are both absolutely brilliant, and I will probably watch them both again.
Of older shows I really love Monster.
Is it sad that I can't remember what other shows I used to enjoy? It's really been that long since I was into the whole anime thing. I used to be a member of a local anime club and everything ... but then I started learning Japanese and somehow my interest in anime faded. I have no idea how that even works. My love for the language, culture, pop culture, and history keeps on growing, but I'm still not all that interested in the whole anime scene. At least not the Norwegian/Western one.
6. How would you run your government if you were elected president?
Yikes, what sort of a question is this to put in at #6? :X Norway doesn't even have a president, BUT I GUESS THAT COULD CHANGE, HURR HURR.
How would I run my government? NOT SURE, BUT I WOULD MAKE IT MANDATORY FOR EVERY NORWEGIAN TO TAKE CLASSES ON COMMON COURTESY AND HOW TO STAND IN LINE :|
....
But yeah, I don't know. Basic income! Tax the rich! Build tall apartment buildings! District kindergartens, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes should have more control over their own administration - taking into consideration local needs! No data retention directive! FIX THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM :| BULLET TRAINS EVERYWHERE~~~~~~
I don't know. I have no proper answer for this question.
7. Who would you most like to see in concert?
Simon and Garfunkel. :(
My answer would be Perfume, BUT I AM SEEING THEM LATER THIS YEAR, SO :D
I would also really like to see Childish Gambino.
Or just a classical music concert? I really love classical music and big symphonic orchestras, but I don't think I have ever been to a symphonic orchestra concert, which is a bit of a shame, really.
Who do you guys most want to see in concert?
