Interview meme !
15 Aug 2004 08:08 pmI was interviewed by
link621
If you want me to interview you--post a comment that simply says, "Interview me." I'll respond with questions for you to take back to your own journal and answer as a post. Of course, they'll be different for each person since this is an interview and not a general survey. At the bottom of your post, after answering the Interviewer's questions, you ask if anyone wants to be interviewed.
1. In the distant future, the Earth has colonies on both Mars and the Moon. You are born on Earth, but your parents are soon moving to one of those colonies, but they first asked you where you would want to go to help them make their decision. Which would you choose?
I would prefer to go to Mars, because I love desert. However, knowing my parents, they like their comfort and they would be more at ease with a bobo, high-tech place like the Moon. Unless... hum, they might want to go to the New Israel colony some people made on Mars. Yeah, that's probably where they would go ^_^
2. What was your favorite child's book when you were very young? Do you still own a copy?
Only one favourite ? I had several *laugh* Mmm I think my one time favourite has to be the "Live de la Licorne" by Sennell (*checks it out*.. it's apparently translated from Catalan, so i can't give you an english title - it means the Unicorn's book thought) which is a wonderful book about imagination and the secretive face everyone has. There were also "Cabot Caboche" by Daniel Pennac which is an adorable book with dogs, and "Mio mon Mio" which another kid gets to fantasy land book, apparently it's swedish. And yes, I still own all of those, though I haven't read them in a while.
Famous childhood book I was very fond of... got to be the "Call of the wild"
As a child I had a very passionate relationship with books. I still do, in fact, but I don't read quite as much since I've got the internet, and, ya know, friends.
3. Of every year that you've had a birthday, which was the most memorable? Why?
*sighs* That one's easy. It was my 20th birthday, and if you wonder why, just check my birthday date on my profile.
This sorts of things do tend to inscribe themselves into your memory. I remember perfectly how I heared about it, as I was coming back from a shopping trip with my dad to pick a gift, turned up the radio, then went on the internet on the American board I was currently active in at the moment to see the deluge of threads by people checking where everyone was and if everyone from the board was alive.
I remember my disgust when I heard people around me jocking about it, and I remember my anger that it was happening on my birthday. Selfish, heh, but that's how my mind worked.
4. Secretly, you're actually an animal. During the day, you transform into a human, so we all think you are really human. What animal are you at heart?
*smiles* My animal at heart has always been the horse. Freedom and wilderness, I was like lots of little girls totally fascinated by horses as a kid and I don't think i ever got quite over it now. However I'm not sure turning into a horse at night sounds very good and practical *lol* Maybe another of my favourite animal, a cat, would be better ? ^^
Okay, let's just sat it's a magical horse and i got have special powers to make it nifty :p
Finally,
5. What's the best compliment you've ever recieved? What about the person/delivery/words/ect made it the best?
This one's very hard... Singling just one instance, it's hard to remember. I think the best compliment I've recieved were being told I was wise, and that someone I really admired did look up to me.
That it came from this person, and that it was wisdom - something I value extremely - did touch me a lot. I can be very proud and vain about some things, and sometimes have a very low self-esteem about others, but the one compliments that really stick as meaning something in a non vain way are those that say my presence meant something for people, that I could have given them something. Humm, that's the best I can answer here. *feels like rambling*
Sooooo... anyone wanna be interviewed ? ^^

Date: 15 August 2004 03:00 pm (UTC)I'll just answer here I guess.
no subject
Date: 15 August 2004 03:06 pm (UTC)1/ Stat yourself up as a WoD denizen of whichever surnatural or non surnatural kind you think you'd be
2/ First crush, first kiss, first sexual intercourse, who were they ?
3/ What was your favourite fairy tale when you were a little kid and why ?
4/ Meet you Evil Twin, your Shadow etc. What kind of villain is he ? what are his plans to wreck havok and dominate the world ?
no subject
Date: 15 August 2004 04:11 pm (UTC)*sigh* Yeah that'd be sweet.
2/ My first crush was on a shy blond little girl called Claudine at CE1 (second grade if I'm not mistaken). We never hid our love for one another, and we were considered a couple by the whole class, even though we barely talked to each other. Some kind of childish chivalry. How cute is that? *s*
My first french-kiss was with a girl called Angélique at 6ème (6th grade?). I remember we knocked our teeth in the rush. There isn't much more I can say about her, our relationship didn't last for long, nor was it very sincere on both sides, I would think. Just french-kiss training, really...
I had sex for the first time with Aurore, a compulsive liar I had the misfortune to fall in love with at 4ème (8th grade?). When you're fifteen, how are you supposed to act when the girl you love tells you she was elected Miss Universe at Peking or follows a electricity therapy that consists in being plugged into a wall of her house? Somehow, I believed her. I wanted to believe her. Until she told me a story that was on TV the day before in that stupid Hartley show. I told her, and she cried, yelling that I didn't love her anymore since I didn't believe her, and she was right. A handful of years later, after me and my parents moved near Paris, she sent me a letter telling me she was a mannequin now, along with a picture amateurishly taken in her garden. It was the saddest thing I ever read.
3/ Me and my parents used to go to Italy a lot when I was a kid, sailing in the open sea in a small boat. There was this little island that looked exactly like a gigantic turtle, and my dad always told me it was indeed a turtle that had been asleep for centuries. I still believe it will wake up someday, and I sure hope it gives me a ride when it does.
4/ Wow, now that's a tough one.
Ok how about this, my evil twin is the person I could have been had I not come to realize how to deal with others and had I not toned down my ridiculously vast arrogance. He soon lost all his friends and became an incredibly lonely and frustrated cursed artist. Realizing he was too weak to ever rule the world and get his vengeance, he simply went totally insane and got locked up in an asylum. In his bitterness, he shut himself away in a twisted imaginary world that he rules as an sadistic god, a world of injustice where people suffer, starve to death and die in the majority of the planet, and where hatred among ethnic groups provokes constant bloodshed. Wait a minute...

Date: 15 August 2004 05:08 pm (UTC)But being locked up to dream of our world doesn't sound so evil.
Either we are only a dream, we don't exist, and thus our suffering don't matter.
Either by some strange power, he created something real, but then not only the bleak, cruel things of the worlds, he also created all the wonderful things that makes me glad to live in this world, and that's not evil either ^^

5/ The world is going to end in 3 days. What do you do of your remaining time ?
no subject
Date: 16 August 2004 01:20 am (UTC)2) Wishes...uh...let's see.
a) World peace, if it all humanely possible
b) For the ability to write and tell my stories beyond my wildest dreams
c) That love will never, never truly die from this world
3) I choose to remember the day I realized that I loved my best friend (now boyfriend/promised), and that he loved me back (actually, more like him realizing first and then I realized that I loved him back)
4) The third...I'm not fond of wealth, power, or the world (unless the first is giving me the power to DESTROY it, then I'll say 'yes'), I already HAVE the most beautiful man in the world (to my eyes) as my love. But I don't know all the secrets in the world...
5) Spend a great deal of time with my friends, family, and beloved. Oh, yes-also say 'screw it', find a high priestess and get handfasted to my boyfriend. If I'm going to die, I'm going to die MARRIED to him. (And he's not commitment-phobic, either)

no subject
Date: 16 August 2004 09:43 am (UTC)How could anyone who ever read the Compte de Monte Cristo not be aware that Catalan exist ?
Though I must admit I'm not sure just how many languages exist in Spain, apart that there are several. I remember in "l'Auberge Espagnol" (a very funny european movie which was taking place in Spain) there were people asking for courses to be given in Catalan so I guess it must be the biggest minority language ?
no subject
Date: 17 August 2004 08:37 am (UTC)In Spain there are 4 langs: Spanish, catalan, gallego and vasco. Catalan is the biggest and strongest minority language, because it is a 100%living language, lots of books are released in catalan. Actually the bilingual matter is false, kids learn catalan first, mother tongue, and at age of 4/5, when going to school and watching TV we learn the 'other' language (spanish)... but is funny to master 2 languages.

5/ You have the possibility to change one thing about your personnality, what would it be ?
