This isn't an experiment, it's sound art
Your Weiss Kreuz song

Your previous stamp(s)/do you agree? Personality Kapitel!Ken - Ken who? Oh wait, the guy with a ball, yes, now I remember... Mirror Kapitel!Yohji - [mumbles something about allowing Aya to take drunken pictures during birthday parties for the last time] Kritiker - waiting for more votes :p
Your three favorite song lyrics:
1. Loreena McKennitt - All Souls' Night An example of the music I generally enjoy, nostalgic yet calming and energetic in its own way:
Bonfires dot the rolling hills
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.
(...)
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me
2. Leonard Cohen - In My Secret Life
I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong.
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth
In My Secret Life.
(...)
I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.
3. Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart No matter how short my list of favourite songs may be, it will always be false without this one. Lyrics from the classical version:
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes...
(Turn around, bright eyes)
When/In what situations do you listen to music? at work (library background office work), while walking around the city (though not all the time), during evenings at home; I like instrumental music very much
Do you like dancing? very much, but strange as it may sound, only when I'm alone; clubbing bores me to death
Favorite season: spring, when light overcomes darkness, the world around starts to show its colours, it's neither cold nor hot and sky can be finally seen
Favorite color: green
Do you prefer angst or fluff? angst in literature and film (nothing less annoying than comedies when you're in a bad mood!), some fluff acceptable in fine arts and music; I'm not masochistic enough to demand more angst in real life
What are your guiltiest pleasures? forgetting my PhD thesis for manga and anime, developing crushes on fictional characters (mostly gay, but *who cares* ^^) and their voice actors ^_^
Predictable or unpredictable? I asked a friend and she said that although sometimes she could predict what I'll do, some of my reactios surprised her
Cheerful or depressed? very nervous and depressed for a longer time, I'm trying my best for people not to see; I have rather abstractive sense of humour, but I generally like to smile :)
Clean or messy? clean: daughter of a lawyer with German roots and an army officer
Laid-back or uptight? uptight, unless I feel really good with the people I'm with
Calm or energetic? calm, yet hell breaks loose when I'm out of it; I get bored easily and walk around the room when nervous - if I were really a calm person, I wouldn't desire space for myself so desperately
Silent or talkative? silent
Stable or moody? moody
Your favorite scene from Weiss Kreuz? Why? Botan's paper plane and Aya's "IthinkIamgoingtokillyou" expression - all Botan/Aya scenes, short and bittersweet, are my absolute favourite in the series, and yes, the pairing is for me one of the very few absolutely cannonical in WK. My other favourite scenes are rather short. Aya fighting Crawford never stops amusing me. Yohji killing Neu was one of the most heartbreaking scenes for me - the second was Aya cutting his hair in Gluhen (as I wrote in the mirror application, I am stubbornly long-haired myself and never cut a centimeter without a very serious reason). To the last one, a matching scene with Yohji alone in a dark room, with an almost empty bottle. And, of course, the very ending of Gluhen, because it shows that "happy ending" for a character does not always mean "living happily ever after" and death is sometimes a reward.
You have one hour before your last mission and nobody to be with. How would you spend your time? looking for two adult persons whose signatures can make my last will legal - my books will *not* go to anyone!
Kapitel, episode 10. You are given the mission to eliminate Takatori Hirofumi. What would you choose as your club outfit? short, leather jacket (trousers too, I'm not that perverted ;) the rest of the clothes rather simple, though I wouldn't deny myself wearing my favourite jewelery; extravagant clothes would be too noticable and long dresses/skirts/coats are impractical and as much as I have a soft spot for long scarves, it's too easy for the enemy to catch me by them
