5 questions meme

[franceslievens]

sister_luck asked me questions. Here are the answers.

1. If you had to give up one of your languages, which one would you abandon?
Sorry interviewing person, but it would probably be my rudimentary knowledge of German. I guess because it's in fact the language I know the least of and don't need on a daily basis.

2. A place of great natural beauty that you enjoyed?
Cap-de-Bon-Désir, where you can watch whales swimming up the Saint-Lawrence river in Québec. It was so impressive, even though there were lots of tourists around us and we forgot our binoculars.

3. Can you remember your first day at school? How was it?
No, can't remember it one bit. I did what they call "spring school" over here. It's the group of the littlest kids right before their first year. The classes only start after Spring break, hence are called "spring school". I was 2 and a half then. I can't remember a thing of what we did there or what it was like. I only know about it, because I was told. I can't remember the subsequent first of September either. I do remember being scared of my teacher. I liked her. But I was also scared of her.

4. Tell me about your favourite pair of shoes.
Every pair of Campers I own or have owned. They're comfortable, stylish and you don't see too many other people walking around in them (probably because they're expensive and the ones I choose to wear are a bit catchy). The first pair I owned were a pair of trainers in orange and brown. Then I got a pair of high-heeled sandals that I still wear. There was also a pair of orange-brown half-boots. Last year I got a pair of black ballerinas. In the Winter sales I bought high heeled boots in black suede with flowers stitched on them. The last pair I bought two weeks ago: creme trainers with an elastic band instead of laces. They're from the Peu line (with coconut inner sole) and you can see them on the homepage I think.

5. What's in your wallet/purse?
Tickets for public transport in Berlin (I'm gonna throw those out), a Belgian city that isn't Brussels, also one for Brussels. A card from a certain Café Musical. Some photographs (me, sis, grandmother, but mostly me). More business cards. A train ticket that's only valuable until August 3. I really should be going somewhere before I go on holiday. My ID-card, driver's licence, and vaccination card. A poem dated 22/02/95. And last but not least €15,72 (one coin from Luxemburg, one from the Netherlands, the others are Belgian).
I've also got another little purse that holds my debet cards, library cards etc.

Anyone who is bored and wants to answer my questions can say so in a comment.

Well, I'm bored. What do you want to know ?

[frances-lievens.livejournal.com]

I hope you're still bored honey!

1. We all had that one prickly sweater we refused to wear when we were kids. What was your piece of clothing your mother adored you in and you just hated wearing?

2. Which tv-character made you scared when you were a kid?

3. What's your favourite kind of chocolate?

4. It's the holidays. What do you choose: long holiday abroad or relaxing at home? Why?

5. Write me a short story.

1. Anything in pink. Anytime we went shopping, my mother would always try to get me to try out at least one pink thing and I would refuse. I'll always remember her face the day I said yes. She looked at me and said something along the lines of "You noticed that it's pink, didn't you?".

2. I don't remember ever being scared of a tv character.

3. Milk chocolate, especially, Lindt Lindor which has a melting core and a hard shell.

4. Can I get one month of both? Relaxing at home is nice, but discovering new places is too.

5. I'll try to do something.

You didn't like pink? I bet you didn't play with Barbie then.

Can I get one month of both?
For some reason I thought you'd answer that. ;-)

[syderia]

I bet you didn't play with Barbie then.
Actually, I did. I didn't mind them having pink clothes.

I too am bored (and at work - double bonus). So ask away.

[frances-lievens.livejournal.com]

I don't know whether you're still at work. But I bet you'll be there tomorrow, so maybe you can do them then.

1. Name a song you know all the lyrics too but are full aware admiting it will ruin your coolness factor.

2. How's work?

3. Which animal would you consider keeping as a pet? (Do you actualy have a pet?)

4. Which Sugababe is your favourite? (+ elaborate your answer)

5. Speaking of your coolness factor: What do you wear when lecturing & do you consider yourself cool wearing it?

[simonf.livejournal.com]

1) I can never remember the lyrics to a song and I frequently make them up as I go along but that INXS song "Never Tear Us Apart" is always a good choice.

2) Work was boring which is why I'm marking placement reports at home today. This really is the deathly dull period at university. No students and a lot of the staff are on holiday.

3) I would love to have a cat as a pet. They are such fun. And so independent to boot.

4) It would be a toss up between Heidi or Mutya. Heidi has the smiley blonde thing going on and Mutya always looks moody and sullen.

5) I rarely lecture most of my teaching is in labs but when I do lecture I make the effort to look smart i.e casual smart trousers and a shirt. Otherwise jeans and t-shirt. If it's winter, jeans, t-shirt and a jumper. I'm really not much of a fashion person.

Does INXS lower one's coolness factor? I've got their greatest hits in iTunes. Love "Never Tear Us Apart", but can only sing that line.

Same here at uni. I went to pick P. up last week and I think he was the only one in the office in the entire building. Apart from some secretaries who had to do ... err ... what secretaries do at the end of term.

Yay catperson! You could always do as me and buy a paper substitute (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cat-Getting-Out-Other-Observations/dp/0811858227/ref=sr_1_1/203-2601091-4322312?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182018175&sr=1-1). ;-)

I'm not exactly bored but I like questions, so fire away.

Whom is the poem by?

[frances-lievens.livejournal.com]

Poem is by my teenage self. She was a very strange girl.

1. Who is your favourite muppet and why?

2. Will HP kill Voldemort or will he die trying and hence leave it to Hermione to pick up the pieces and save the day? (no spoilers allowed, only speculation)

3. Best concert ever?

4. Two of your friends are in a serious argument. It's gone this far that they ain't even on speaking terms. What do you do? Do you pick a side and drop the other friend? Or demands your Swiss nature you stay neutral?

5. Who's your hunk of the day? Please provide pictures.
