Here's a little joke for you, but you need to have seen the movie The Godfather.

Which Godfather? Is it the first one? I almost forgot which one is Uncle Luigi.
Happy Birthday, Classic!
I think it's the first. There was no Uncle Luigi but there was a scene with the horse's head. Actually as I think of it now, perhaps this wasn't appropriate for Classic's birthday. It was ony meant as a joke Classic.Quote:

You know, Virgil, nothing disturbed me as much as that scene; was The Godfather; I say "kill the mobsters, but please, not the beautiful sweet horse!" Yes, not a good thing to bring up here.:(Quote:

An interview *Classic*Charm*:
1 - How did you come about this site and what makes you keep coming back?
I found it while googling a question I had about To Kill A Mockingbird while I was studying it in high school. I kept coming back because I had never come across so many insightful thoughts in one place.
2 - Have you visited other countries than your own and what did you like about it or not like?
I've been all over England and I loved it because it was so charming. I loved being so surrounded by history. Not everything was new and harsh, like it is here. They're also far better drivers than anyone I've yet encountered in Canada. I've also been to different parts of the U.S.
3 - What are your favorite hobbies ?
I love horseback riding and showing, running, playing drums, reading, and film.
4 - Do you have any pets?
I have two horses names Tobasco and Shadow, two cats at home named Boots and Snowy, a cat at my house at school named Ollie, and a fish named Rutherford (his name is a science joke- my roommate has his brother, Bohr).
5 - What makes you happy?
Learning. I want to know everything I possibly can, about every different thing. I think it's a waste if you don't make the most of your opportunities, and I have plenty of them.
6- How can you get away with being online at work?
I'm never online at work, or in class. You might find me online in between classes. This is also when you'll find my friends pretending they're not with me because this whole talking about books thing is embarrassing to them when we're in public haha.
7- What is mankind's biggest achievement, and its greatest downfall?
Biggest achievement was definitely the invention of plastic. I know that sounds generic, but can you imagine a world without plastic? I don't know about biggest downfall...perhaps the invention of the firearm?
8- If you had a long day of hard work ahead of you what music would you be playing on your mp3, while working?
You'd hear mostly punk and indie rock, but there's a little bit of everything I think. You'd definitely find Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, Incubus, Mae, The Alkaline Trio, Samiam, Sparta, Jack's Mannequin, The Clash, The Beatles, The Who, ABBA, Roisin Murphy, Michael Buble, and Earth, Wind & Fire
9- If you could take one book, music album and one video with you to a desert island, what would they be?
Book would be a compilation of Shakespeare, Movie would be The Wizard of Oz, I don't think I could pick a single music album
10- Which actress should play you in a movie based on your life?
If it were possible, Ingrid Bergman
11- What makes you smile? (Activities, people, events, hobbies, projects, etc.)
Having my family all together- we get pretty rowdy; my animals- they all have a lot of personality so they keep me on my toes; my friends- they always find a way to keep me laughing; Food- I really enjoy eating, almost to a fault; anything that smells of citrus, or leather, or old paper
12- What were your favorite things to do the past? What about now?
I used to write all the time. I would come up with all kinds of ideas and write short stories that were never really that short, and I would do it for hours. I stopped though, because it seemed like the more I studied science, the smaller and smaller my imagination got, despite the fact that I do still read often
13- What activities make you lose track of time?
Being in a really good class (I was completely absorbed by my lecture on thermoregulation in exercising horses last week), being at the barn, reading
14- What makes you feel great about yourself?
Learning something new, especially if it's unusual. I have a mind for random pieces of information for which I'll never actually have a use
15- Who inspires you most? (Anyone you know or not. Family, friends, authors, artists, leaders, etc.) Which qualities inspire you, in each person?
My parents, as cliche as that sounds. They’re both genuinely good people who did an amazing job raising four children, who both worked hard at their jobs, and who continue to teach and encourage myself and my siblings in every possible way.
16- What are you naturally good at? (Skills, abilities, gifts etc.)
I'm a pretty decent essay writer, a professor told me I have an eye for film, and I'm not too bad with the horses, though that comes with time and work.
17- What do people typically ask you for help in?
Editing papers and questions about Biology
18- If you had to teach something, what would you teach?
English, especially Shakespeare. I wish I could teach people to like reading, and to see appreciate what they read, though I don't know if I would actually be capable of that
19- What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?
I would regret not taking advantage of an opportunity to travel. I haven't seen nearly as much of the world as I would like, and I hope the fact that I have a very set plan for where I would like my life to go and very strong ties to my home and family that I would pass up a chance to explore. Especially Florence. I would LOVE to see Florence.
20- What song is in your head at the moment?
Two, actually. Moondance by Van Morrison and Whoa by Paramore
21- The last book you bought/borrowed from the library?
Do textbooks count? If yes, then Cell and Molecular Biology. If you want a novel, it would have to be The Telling of Lies by Timothy Findley
22- Which book are you reading at the moment?
Persuasion by Jane Austen, The Last of the Crazy People by Timothy Findley, The Gambler by Dostoyevski

49- The most embarrassing moment in your life?
In my first week of my first year of university I went into the bookstore to buy my textbooks and came out an hour later with a vet textbook that I started reading for fun and just couldn't leave without. I forgot to buy my actual texts...this year when I was buying textbooks I left the store $500 poorer and said "That was fun. We should do that more often"
50- Which literary character (s) have you been told to resemble the most?
I have been compared to Lizzy Bennett but I don't think I'm anywhere close to having that much conviction
51- List some of the things that annoy you immensely.
That's an incredibly long list. I'm really not the tolerant type. Let's see...people who walk too slowly in a crowd, a person who cannot put a full sentence of English together even though it is his or her first language, bad table manners (that's a big one), people who tell me not to use "big words", people who refuse to admit that they are ever wrong, people who wear short skirts and winter boots at the same time (make up your mind!), people who go to lectures and talk the entire time, people who wear sandals in a chemistry lab, people who wear sandals to a horse show...clearly I'm a big people person
52- Anything that you want to forget but you never can?
One situation when I was in the third grade I was really mean to a friend and I've never forgotten it, even though she moved across the country years ago and we lost contact
53- One final word of wisdom for LitNet users?
Not really a word of wisdom, but please keep coming back, because I'm learning a lot from you all!!
54- What would you like to ask to the person to be interviewed after you?
What time of day do you most often find yourself on the LitNet? (I wonder if there are other night owls like me)
What a marvelous interview C.C. I loved it. And you won't be disappointed with Florence. Florence is possibly the most charming city in the world. :)
I hope that your birthday was awesome, Classic Charm! I enjoyed your interview very much, too!

Thank you, everyone!! :D:D
oooohhh nice interview!! :D I just noticed that.. hey so when are you going to become a famous drummer??? ;)
Happy Birthday Classic!;)
*Classic,* I just read your great interview. Cool, now I know a little more about you...great interview; good for you going to school to be a vet surgeon - I am impressed. I was flattered that you named me as the person you wanted most to meet. Who knows, one day we just might. I only live in the US; not like an ocean is between us. I would like to meet you too.
Soon I will try and view "Silence of the Lambs" and Psycho" -think it is about time, don't you? Indeed, we have had some great discussions in the movie thread - I just love that thread so much!
Well, I am definitely a night owl and I know of a couple others on the forum. We should form a 'night owl club!'
