~ Pieces Of You ~

[Little Bird]

Answers to my last round of questions:

~ How many times have you moved home?
This would be my 4th move.

~ What would your dream house consist of e.g. Artist studio, fine paintings, music studio. Anything, no matter how ridiculous it might sound?
To be honest, I am really glad I just have a house so it is perfect in that respect but of course, there's always room for improvement. I would love to buy a plot of land near here secluded from other houses and build a good size family home with no more than 5 bedrooms with every room en-suite (master with a hot tub), a big family sized kitchen where I can cook and chat with the family or guests, cosy sitting room with a big open fire where the whole family can get together and watch movies, a study and possibly a mini library. I am not too fussed about a big garden. One that is big enough for kids to play in and has a decent sized patio to have a bbq. And a bonus would be a fab view. If I won a million Euro, I could have that. Who knows...maybe one day?

~ City or Country, which would you prefer to live in and why?
Country - without a doubt. The views, the cleaner air, the closeness to nature and beauty, the more friendly people, the quiet, the relaxed atmosphere...shall I go on?

~ Do you rent or do you own your own home (if you?re living with parents, which would you do first when you do eventually move out) ?
We rented for 4 and a half years but thankfully we now own our home!

~ How far do you live from work/school?
about 32 miles away. Takes around 50 mins. We have great transport between where we live and where we work so we're lucky.


And now I ask:
~ What is the best band name you have ever heard of?
~ Can you swim?
~ What is the hottest weather you have ever experienced?
~ If you knew today was your last day to live, what would be your final meal?
~ What?s your favourite movie?

1) What is the best band name you have ever heard of?
Recently I have heard the names, "Super Heavy Goat Ass" and "Dogs Die in Hot Cars" Both from Austin,Texas...great music and good names...

2)Can you swim?
Like a fish I can swim...affirmative here.

3)What is the hottest weather you have ever experienced?
Visting friends in New Orleans in the summer, in the 100's but like everyone says...it is not the heat but the humidity!!

4) If you knew today was your last day to live, what would be your final meal?
Hmmm..good one...Probably a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the fixings...probably wouldn't be able to keep it down though since I would be nervous it was my last day to live...

5)What?s your favourite movie?
I have never been able to answer this question...it is like asking what is your favorite song. I studied film production in college so I see films from many different angles and levels and find genius and just plain enjoyment in SO many...
a few:
"Citizen Kane","Unbearable Lightness of Being", "On Golden Pond" and more recently..."Big Fish","Adaptation"...I love "Jaws" and pretty much everything Speilberg does...
Just saw "War of The Worlds" and loved the sound affects....
so many good movies..."Memento" was very good. Loved the "Kill Bill's", "Fight Club" "A Simple Plan", "Trainspotting", "Braveheart" "Slingblade"..."Almost Famous"
I could go on and on :P

not sure about the second one there but I do love the sound of a Super Heavy Goat ass. Hmm.

So I've been told. I have an eFriend that live in Florida and she never relents on telling how humid it is.

The unfortunate thing about all those movies you mentioned, I have only seen 5 of them! I had more time for movies in the past and went to the cinema every single week. There was barely a new movie I hadn't seen...older ones were the problem but I defintely plan on getting to see all those real classic gems.

Thanks for sharing Craig!!!

Sounds like something I wouldn't even be able to say if I had a drink or three in me. Bit of a mouthful but interesting nonetheless.

3)What is the hottest weather you have ever experienced

Was this at the same time as the shark attack? I've no idea what 90 is in celcius but I'll look it up, All I know it, it's hot!

Yeah it is hard to pick just one so I don't mind everyone picking more. I loved Das Boot and Interview with a Vampire myself. Anne Rice is a great writer. However, I find Full Metal Jacket disturbs me somewhat but I know loads of people who love it. Each to their own.

Thanks for answering. This must be your first time seeing this. It is a thing I do from time to time, not in any particular regularity but it is a way of getting to know everyone better.

Glad you took part.

You know that is a cool name. I like that!

Woah...and I thought 90 was hot? Phew.

~ What?s your favourite movie?
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!!
Now why doesn't that surprise me? But I see what you mean. It is a messed up show but I think it's great. Tim Curry is a great actor and he really suits the role well. And how young Susan Sarandon is in it. But great movie choice.

[Eibhlin]

~What is the best band name you have ever heard of?hmm, that is a toss up between: Thanks to Gravity and Paranoid Social Club, also Zuzu'z Petals/Say Zuzu, Fly Spinach Fly, Trippin Daisy

~ What is the hottest weather you have ever experienced?i would have to say low hundreds temp. wise, but with the humidty it makes a heat index of say...115 or so, so thick you can barely breathe

~ Can you swim?
umm, i can back stroke

~What?s your favourite movie? :omg: the rocky horror picture show! i absolutely used to loooove it, back in my bad old teenage days i actually lifted a copy from a video store, but now, probably Zoolander, Phantom of the Opera, and Under the Tuscan Sun-because buying a villa in italy sounds so awesome!

edited due to missing a question

[georger]

~ How many times have you moved home?
11 times

~ What would your dream house consist of e.g. Artist studio, fine paintings, music studio. Anything, no matter how ridiculous it might sound?
A log cabin in the wilderness, near a lake.

~ City or Country, which would you prefer to live in and why?
Country. See answer to previous question. Plus I cannot maintain my sanity in a big stinky hot noisy city.

~ Do you rent or do you own your own home (if you?re living with parents, which would you do first when you do eventually move out)?
Stuck in perpetual rental he!!.

~ How far do you live from work/school?

I'm a musician. Distance to work therefore varies.

And now I ask:
~ What is the best band name you have ever heard of?
Not the best but the strangest.
It's a tossup between "Fresh Meat" and "Suzy and the clits". Yeesh!!!

~ Can you swim?
Yes, fairly well.

~ What is the hottest weather you have ever experienced?
It's not the heat, it's the humidity. About 45*C with humidity included.

~ If you knew today was your last day to live, what would be your final meal? Lecso. It's a dish from Hungary. It's simple, consists of yellow Hungarian peppers, diced onions, quartered tomatoes, paprika, salt and pepper. And sliced Hungarian sausage. MMMMmmmmm good!!!!

~ What?s your favourite movie?
I like romantic, sentimental films. I'm a big fan of the old Frank Capra films, any of his will do.

[Eibhlin]

wow...that sounds really good, do you have a recipe? :o

[WhatWouldJewelDo]

ok i have to include something funny about weather

my best friend andie(i call her andrea) is in louisiana because her father is producing a movie and the weather is sooooo bipolar.. one day its 103 degrees F and the next day its pouring rain, and the next day its 95 with humidity and then the day after that there was a massive hurricane... lol

[Angel_Eyes]

~ What is the best band name you have ever heard of?

Not sure really. None that I can think of at the moment anyways.

~ Can you swim?

Sort of, but not as well as I like. I mainly float. :P

~ What is the hottest weather you have ever experienced?

Somewhere in the 100s, but I don't remember the exact temperature. Maybe... 105? *shrugs*

~ If you knew today was your last day to live, what would be your final meal?

I was gonna say all of my favorite foods, but now I change my mind. Now, I think I'd have lots of fried shrimp, either mashed potatoes or french fries, a BIG cup of Dr. Pepper, a slice or two (or three or four) of my mom's famous chocolate cake she makes every year for my birthday and then some sort of candy. I might have some Pringles chips also. :) But, this may change overtime. :P

~ What?s your favourite movie?

Right now I'm really into horror movies. I've always had this odd fascination with blood and gore (real or fake, as crazy as that may seem), so I love movies in general with lots of gore. My favorites in particular though (not just horror or gore) are Kill Bill vol. 1 (I hate how it goes black and white during the big scene with the Crazy 88s) and 2, The Exorcist, The Passion of the Christ (not for the gore), Ever After, Shrek 1 and 2, The Little Mermaid, Jackass the Movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, House of 1000 Corpses (can't wait for the Devil's Rejects next week. :D), The Sixth Sense (I don't consider that to be "horror"), City of Angels, Michael (with John Travolta as an Angel), Aladdin, The Lion King, American Beauty, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Slingblade, The Craft, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Evil Dead and so many others. We're planning to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this Friday. :)
