Social Getting To Know You Thread...Ask A Question Answer A Question Game (Version 2.0)

My fave type of non-fiction books are about animals, domestic and wild, other countries especially the British Isles, and a very select vein of performer autobiography. The natural world and people fascinate me.

Fave form of transportation?

 

AIRPLANE

FAVORITE EMINEM SONG

 

Lose Yourself and Beautiful.
Same.

 

TOY SOLIDERS

 

Without Me (I think. Haven't listened very often.)

Your earliest memory of music?

 

making rice filled instruments

opinion of david letterman?

 

Love, love, LOVE him (been a fan since about 1985...true, his show has not been as great lately as compared with his early & middle years, but imo he's still so much better than Leno ever was, and the level of Dave's influence on late night TV has been unmatched!)

favorite zoo animal?

 

for your letterman answer

 

Tigers and common squirrel monkeys :3

What is your fave clothes shop?

 

Emphasizing shops. If this is NOT about clothing then it is definitely "Dussmann das Kultur Kaufhaus" in the even more famous "Friedrichstraße" in Berlin. They are stoked with gorgeous books, CDs, DVDs & stationary products.

I most love the integrated "English book shop" they have in there. Since my return to my home country Germany I am a frequent visitor there.

Actually, I intend to buy that SW Origami book for myself as a special Easter egg. The majority of my kindergarten group would be very happy about that. They already cheered when I brought "Darth Vader and son" plus "Vader´s little princess" along. (The parents also cheered because they get fed up with Clone Wars and like my pedagogical SW approach very much.)

And if it is about shops were one can buy clothing, Findswoman, well Berlin is full of them and there is only a limited amount of space in my wardrobes. I have not bought new clothing since I moved places. I actually gave stuff away to create more space.

 

In terms of clothing stores, I tend to frequent Hot Topic. In terms of non-clothing stores, art stores like AC Moore, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby.

Same question.

 

Wie schön!

Anyway, my favourite shoes are sneakers/ trainers, because you can outrun any angry child with it. It also works better on the playground. I disliked the strict stress code of my former employee. Of course I can walk with high heels through woodland, but I think it should not be essential that I have to for work.

* passes same question on

 

What's your favorite article of clothing that you own?

 

I don't have one.
Same.

 

Tough question! I think I'll just pick my toe shoes, as they're super comfy and since the weather's getting warm, I can wear them again. And they have toes~

Other than that and a couple of t-shirts, my other favorite items are mostly costume pieces.

Same question.

 

Yep! Though mine are Fila Skele-toes. Basically the same type of shoe, only cheaper. They're super comfy, but if your feet sweat... yeah, they get to smelling pretty funky pretty quickly! XD

As for insomnia, I can't help you there. I just spent all night playing Pokemon!

Though, mint tea and a hot shower sometimes helps with relaxation.

Same question, since I'm an insomniac.

 

Insomnia, well I do not have it all the time. Around full moon, yes. Or when the gang outside my flat is roaming our street. Oh, and at times, when I am struck by my writing muse...

Well, lavender tea or anise milk (both best enjoyed with hone) help me.

Sometimes it can be also very calm music that helps me to fall asleep. For example: Loreena McKennitt, Runrig...

Best thing is to hug my husband like a teddy bear, but since he is seldom around the past 8 months, I have to use a Vader plush.

 

Okay, passing the question on. What helps you against sleeping trouble, Skiara?

 

Warm milk is another suggestion. Other things I've used? Benedryl and NyQuil. When all else fails, I go for the meds.

Same question. Perhaps someone else will have an idea that's less chemical.

 

Drinking tea before going to bed, listening to some audio book (or just someone talking) and hugging my plush toys

What 6 things would you take with you to a desert island?
