Meme nicked frombluedelft:
- Comment with "Surf's Up"
- I'll ask you five questions so I can get to know you better.
- Update your journal with your answers
- Include this explanation and offer to ask people questions (if you want to, totally optional)
I can't assure you I'll come up with original questions, I'm not very inspired at the moment.
Here are her questions and my answers.
1. If you could go to dinner with one famous person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
I'll be shallow here and say Alex O'Loughlin, because he's gorgeous and sounds like a fun guy to hang out with. Of course I'd be totally awestruck and wouldn't be able to form a complete sentence, but oh, well.
2. A song or a cd that you can listen to over and over again?
"What's up", by 4 Non Blondes.
3. Your favorite book and why?
It's difficult to choose. I like "Animal farm" and "1984" by George Orwell because they highlight certain aspects of our society that could (and sometimes did) get out of hand if we don't pay attention. I like "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman because it's funny and surreal. I like the "Foundation series" by Isaac Asimov because the concept of psychohistory is intriguing (hey, I have a degree in Sociology, bear with me) and the way he described different planets is brilliant, taking elements from various national cultures and transforming them into planetary cultures.
4. What is your favorite meal or dessert that you enjoy cooking?
I don't really like cooking and I try to keep things extremely simple. I think my favourite would be omelette, especially with smoked sliced turkey breast and gouda cheese.
5. What would be your ideal job?
To be honest, I don't even know anymore. I loved working in the marketing and communication office of a theatre in Milan and in a music agency in Berlin, I'd love to do something similar. Something related to event management, I like organising stuff. I also love writing, so I'd like a job where I can write, but I don't think I could be a full-time writer, I tend to procrastinate way too much if I don't have someone constantly reminding me about deadlines. And I need colleagues, I don't like working completely on my own (which is one of the many reasons why my current job is driving me insane).
