Hahaha, Maximilianus, that message really did make me laugh; you're quite funny you know. Wow, nice variety there! I love Guns 'n' Roses... and The Eagles for that matter. What other kinds of heavy metal are you into? I have a reasonably wide range of musical taste also (although some may disagree, as I suppose everything I like is more or less a sub-genre of rock, essentially.) You gave me a rather long reply and so I shall pay you back in kind and bombard you with a list : The Velvet Underground, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, Joy Division, Metallica, Guns 'n' Roses, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Adam and the Ants, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Nirvana, Green Day, Modest Mouse, Jeff Buckley (and if you have never heard that man sing, I implore you to do so ), Jimmy Eat World, Semisonic, Foo Fighters, The Kings of Leon, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Strokes. So that takes us up to the 90's/00's... now is all the modern stuff, and I must say my tastes have moved away slightly (but not too much) from mainstream. However alot of the bands in this list, you probably won't know since they're quite small and/or from random countries dotted across the globe: Babyshambles, Bloc Party, Cage the Elephant, Calvin Harris, CSS, EverythingEverything, Foals, Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires, Interpol, Kashmir, LadyHawke, Late of the Pier, Love of Diagrams, MGMT, Melpo Mene, Motion City Soundtrack, Tegan and Sara, The Black Kids, The Cribs, The Horrors, The Joy Formidable, The Klaxons, The Kooks, The Last of the Shadow Puppets, The Libertines, The Rifles, The Wombats, White Lies, Vampire Weekend. You should consider having a listen to a few, perhaps, when you have time. Well it's good that you like your job to an extent... and yes, I know that feeling; there is so much I want to see, so many different people I would like to talk to. I have seen a ghost, once. But nobody believes me... which is odd, because I'm a terrible liar and so I don't attempt to lie often. Apparently I was just imagining it, but I really don't think so. It was quite scary too, because it was in my room. Who would deserve to win... Well, it's difficult to say really, because there is so much evil plaguing the human race, but is that enough to invalidate the goodness I believe lies within the core of each person despite what they may have done, and the goodness shown by people everyday. However, it would be too predictable to vouch for my own species. I'm going with machines. It would be quite the tragedy to be eradicated by the very things we created. Aliens? No, I think we would win that one... with the machines (who would subsequently turn on us once the aliens had gone.) What about you? I have not yet met my significant other. I enjoy walking very much; I don't jog much, but I like randomly sprinting. As for kicking people... hm, only if they do something to deserve it; I'm pretty tough you see, Oh, that was just a random outburst, but hey, it makes sense.
Glad you have a good family. It's something important to have a good one! See? I told you about that party. I bet you fell in another bin! My music... let's see... there are some of your countrymen and countrywomen on my list, like Sarah Brightman, Dido, Ozzy Osbourne and the Iron Maiden folks. Actually, my first music raids began with Heavy Metal of the glamorous type of the eighties and nineties, like Guns n' Roses and Motley Crew, but later on I stumbled upon illumination , became a serious chap and moved on to more classical and symphonic genres I like like classical too, but I prefer some more modern orchestrations, like some film soundtracks when they are symphony-styled, like those by Hans Zimmer and James Horner. When I met the fiddles and bagpipes, so began my story with Irish and Scottish traditional music. Now if we talk about modernism, I still keep some interest on heavy sounds, but mostly when they belong to the progressive genre, like Queensryche, Savatage, and if you ask me about voices then I fall for ladies' voices more than I do for chaps' voices. I'm not really sure why, but ladies' voices stab me in a very particular way, being my faves Amy Lee (Evanescence), Sarah Brightman, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Emma Shapplin and I'm sure I still have to meet some other voices I haven't come across with so far. Hmmm... what else? ... oh, yes, I too like some American country, Jazz, especially Louis Armstrong, and I like The Eagles, and due to my long time relation with Chinese martial arts films I like eastern composers such as Shigeru Umebayashi, Tan Dun and Yo-Yo Ma (actually, in case you don't know and want to know, Yo-Yo Ma is a very reputed cellist and he once recorded the six cello suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, for which work he gained a big reputation, of course in classical circles). As you can see I have an abundance of feelings regarding music. If I am mad? sure I am, like all the rest, only that I admit it while most of the others don't Do I enjoy my job? ... well... I'd rather be flying an old Spitfire while smelling the fresh air of England's countryside, but that's much of a dream more than a job prospect. My job isn't really bad nor totally boring, but flying over England must be much more fun, I figure. I'd also like to be a linguist some day, learn more poetry, more languages and travel everywhere to use them all, and meet different people because I'm only accustomed to my people and I'm not complaining but sometimes you get tired of not having with whom to talk, if you know what I mean. I've never met a ghost, elf, faerie, dwarf nor anything similar, but if I ever do you'll be the first to know . I've heard tons of stories regarding enchanted houses, evil and good spirits and the like, but I can't tell for sure because... I've never seen dead people in all my life How about you? Ever seen a spectre, wraith, ghost or... even a GHOST BUSTER? I hope you liked my answers. Writing gives me peace and entertainment, but sorry if I made up too long a message; at times I can't help striking the keyboard . Feel free to ask if you want to know more (and if you don't fear long answers ). Asking is the only way to know someone, don't you think? Now talking about asking, can I ask you some further questions like... - According to your best objective judgement, who would deserve to win the war against the machines? Machines or mankind? - Same as above but against the Aliens? - This question about how you met your significant other, that you did not reply... did you not reply because you didn't want or because you haven't met such an other? - What does the W stand for in your name? and ... - Do you like walking, running, jogging, kicking people? - About your final word of wisdom for Lit Net users "You're either pregnant, or you're not". Did you spit it at random or are you suggesting something special? Like... Hey you, bunch of sorry twerps, wake up for once! Life has no half terms at all!
Haha, we all get on quite well really. Yes, I want a fat cat, a really fat one. So it can sit on my lap and keep me warm when it's cold in the Winter. I had my Prom and it was absolutely fantastic. I'm about to upload some photographs to the Litnet photo album. The after party was good, but I really overdid it unfortunately... Not feeling great today. I blame myself. I need to think of some pressing questions for you then... hm, haha. What is your favourite kind of music/bands? Do you enjoy your job? And for the sake of being random... do you believe in ghosts?
Oh, she'd better find me, because if she doesn't I'm gonna go find her myself You get along well with all, I mean mom, dad, bro? Ever had to kick one of them? Fat cat, uh? You want a pet or an ornament? More like walking away, I run away from sneezes, as fast as my legs allow me I'm glad for you, about the exams So you are having like a goodbye party, right? Have fun there, but don't drink too much, or you'll fall in another bin or down other stairs, or even a combo of the two You can ask whatever you want, and I mean whatever. I have nothing to hide.
Haha, fame will find you eventually I'm sure of it (Even if it is in the form of a literature forum interview.) I have my parents and a younger brother at home. If I had to have a pet... it would definitely be a cat. A really fat cat. Hahaha, the sneezes get me especially; I have to walk away, seriously. Well, I completed my last exam this morning! At long last. I've had 14 in total... I've probablly had the most exams in my whole year. I think I've done well, thank you. I'm so excited... I really am; it's my leavers prom tonight. So, if you don't mind, could I ask you a few questions too, please?
That's a good habit, to write down what we want so we don't forget after a while. It helps keep the memory focused on dreams. I too wish I could move to cooler places in summer. I like sunny days but I could use a little more of fresh rain too, which doesn't happen here on a regular basis Yep, I'll have to wait for fame and fortune and interviews to knock on my door Fame is so elusive. Okay, I will now fire some questions to know you a little better: Just mom and dad at home? No siblings? You say you have no pets, but if you had to choose, what would it be? List some of the things that annoy you immensely: Lateness, Ignorance, When people sneeze and don't cover their mouths/noses, Bone cracking, Bad manners. What a royally Brit lady you are!! Oh, let's remember bad smells, in which case you'll be the one to cover your mouth/nose How about exams? Are you passing all of them?
Nothing is ever certain, of course. I couldn't say where I will end up or even where I wish to end up. But I have a list of places written down on a scrap piece of paper; I've had it for a year or so. It's just places I absolutely must go to before I die: Paris, France. Zaragoza, Spain. Sorrento, Italy. New York, USA. Australia. Who knows... I might have a small apartment in Paris I'll live in during the summer. And a home back in England Aww, no... So I guess you have to wait a while for your interview. Haha one is more than enough, certainly. Of course, that's fine. Ask away, haha.
Already made up your mind on where you'd like to live? I'll be 35 next September 27. I was born on a Friday at 2:10 in 1974 according to my mom, because if you ask me well... I was too tiny to have memory so I can't quite remember leaving her belly. Hey, I could be your father! (No, just kidding, you already have one and one is more than enough, right? ) Later on I'll ask you a few things about yours (interview) if you don't mind, okay?
We want what we just can't have I'm afraid (Although I must admit, I'm quite determined to move to a warmer climate at some stage.) Well, I was privately messaged by one of the Admins, because it was my birthday, asking if I wanted to do this interview. When's your birthday? Haha, I'd love to read your interview.
Yep, it's very sunny here indeed. I like sunny days too, but I kinda envy you 'cos you have more rain than I can dream of ever seeing here We both long for what the other one has! You want my warmth and I want your rain We are both crazy Brrrrr , that sounds so really chilly over there that I'm cold already. I'd better tuck myself in bed to wait for the literary genius Maybe when I wake he'll be already here next morning Oh, by the way, I noticed some belated happy birthday wishes still coming on your birthday thread. Dunno if you saw them, but wanted to let you know just in case Now... about that thread and your interview... do you know how one gets to be interviewed? I wanna be famous, too, and I want people to learn what an amazing chap I am
