New Game: Interview the Next Person

[Ezinma88]

Q: Which friend do you most regret losing touch with?

My friend 'Tee' from University.

That's obviously not her real name, but what everyone used to call her back then. She was the first person that I spoke to and we instantly just became best friends....and I mean the best of friends. We'd tell each other everything, go everywhere together, regularly stay up all night chatting etc.

A couple of years later, she had a number of family problems and I'm ashamed to say (due to a number of things going on in my life) I was a really crap friend to her, on a number of levels. We never really fell out, we just drifted apart. But, of all the people I've known I think she was one of the best.

It's been about 5 years, but I still really miss her and wish I could have taken back a lot of what was said and done.

Next Question: Have you ever walked out of a film? If so, what was it?

[Escriba]

Several times, three this week. But it doesn't count, since I'm speaking about films I was watching at the Horror Festival of San Sebastian (you know, after two very bad horror movies, just one more is too much).

Q: following the thread, which is the first movie you remember you watched?

[Alelou]

Mary Poppins when I was four. And I remember that I was very jealous of a neighbourhood girl who got a whole set of Mary Poppins dolls.

What was the first tv show or movie that you went absolutely nuts about?

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

What was the first tv show or movie that you went absolutely nuts about?

The original Star Trek of course. I was 8 years old.

Q: Your favourite guilty pleasure TV show that you're afraid to admit to in public (or even here )?

[Alelou]

Didn't we just have this question a page or two back?

Maybe it was somewhere else. I'll let it stand, having already answered it once.

Q: Your favourite guilty pleasure TV show that you're afraid to admit to in public (or even here )?

I ain't afraid! Golden Girls. LOVE IT. And I have all seven seasons on DVD.

It's Teacher Convention Week, and I'm on holiday, so I pose the question, which of your school teachers did you despise and which did you love?

[Distracted]

Although I didn't like some subjects much (Like math. Bleh.) I don't ever remember despising a teacher. I did have crushes on several, though. In seventh grade I was in choir, and Sister Antonia was the choir director. Looking back, I swear I had a fangirl crush on the woman. She was cute as a button (and back when nuns wore ugly black and white head coverings, black dresses and sensible shoes, that was a real feat) and the funniest person I knew. She sang like an angel, never got mad, and could always find something good about every situation possible. I wanted to be just like her. I discovered Harlequin romances a year later and changed my mind, but that year I was sure I wanted to be a nun.

Q: Did you ever seriously want to do something "when you grew up" that you know now would never in a million years have ever worked out?

[Alelou]

I wanted to go to Georgetown then work for the State Department in the diplomatic corps.

Bwa ha ha. Anyone who knows me knows I would totally suck at that. Tact is not one of my strong suits. I have no poker face either. I would have been a disaster.


Career you think maybe you COULD have been good at, but it's now a road not taken?

[Eian Flannagan]

Career you think maybe you COULD have been good at, but it's now a road not taken?

When I was 9, I really wanted to be the person that rode the Killer Whales at SeaWorld. I took advanced swimming lessons (I was sure that would help me achieve me goal) and visited SeaWorld as often as me mum would let me---must've been at least 6-7 times that year alone. It was my life's ambition. Alas, that didnt' pan out so well...

Q: If you were to form a rock band, what would you call it and why?

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

Q: If you were to form a rock band, what would you call it and why?

The Rockin' Bums! Self-explanatory! Also has a double meaning.

Q: Worst teacher (before college) you ever had and why?

[Escriba]

Mari Jose, she was a total witch. She was one of that persons who shouldn't be teachers because she hated and humiliated children (or teens, in this case). She was young and she thought she was a gift of God made flesh. The horrible thing was that I was smarter than her at eleven, so I despised her (and she despised me in turn. The good thing was that my grandfather was one of the founders of the school and very friend of the director, so she couldn't treat me as badly as she wanted ) I could hate Sister Justa too, because she was frightening and she left me crying in front of the blackboard in Math class (I'm scared of nuns since then. So different to Distracted ), but for some reason I don't.

Q: Which is your favorite weather? (sun, snow...)

[Alelou]

Spring or fall/winter just before the mosquitoes and black flies come out or just after they've gone, but the ground is not frozen yet. Right now is one of my favorite times.

Place you hope you never ever have to live?

[Escriba]

Saudi Arabia. No democracy, no freedom of ideology, no rights for women and hot, hot, hot like hell.

Q: Is there any dish you dislike especially?

[Aquarius]

Liver. And sea urchin sushi was kinda nasty too. I've liked all the other ones that I tried, but that one reminded me of something my cat might spit up.



Who was the last person who knocked on your door, and what did they want?

[leslina]

Who was the last person who knocked on your door, and what did they want?

My cousin about a couple hours ago. He brought me ginger ale and saltines. I've caught a stomach bug it seems.

What was the last book you read?
