I like the summer much more


What are you doing this week?

This week? Week is almost over. In Dortmund is Love Parade - so - I think I am going to give it a try, in spite I actually do hate crowded situations.

Who is the singer of the next concert you are going to attend?

I don't know. I don't have any plans so far.


Have you ever had a "front of stage" ticket for a concert?

No.


What's that exactly?

Having such a ticket, you stand directly in front of the stage - without being shoved by others.


Do you like songs being performed a capella?

oh yes

Do you like k.d.lang?

I only know one of her CDs. I like her voice, but not the country music style.


Did you see her live on stage?

No, I didn't.


Did you see any comedian live on stage?

Yes, some Swedish stand-up-comedian, who's name I don't remember.


Which comedian do you like?

I like Gerhard Polt, a cabaret artist. He is awesome.


How about you?

I like Hape Kerkeling.


Did you read his book about the road to Santiago?

No, unfortunately not. But I have seen him live on stage. I like him, too.


Have you seen his series Hallo Taxi on TV?

I don´t have a telly at home ...

This seems to have developed into a 'truth without obligation'-thread in English. What do you think: Why is this game so well-liked in our forum?

Well, as far as this thread is concerned, it seemed the only way to keep the thread alive because we kept running out of topics to discuss.

Have you ever played "Truth or dare" for real?

Yes, during all the bus-trips on a two-weeks school-journey, when we were 12 or 13 ... Of course it was all about "hihihi ... have you already .... hihihi ... did you really ... giggle ... and how did it feel ... giggle .... and: Could you imagine to do this with ... *roar with laughter* another GIRL ???? *roll around with laughter* ... and are you in love with ... *ROAR* *bellow* EVA??? ... " "Yes, I am."

Do you have any real-life-experiences with that game?

Yes.

Do you know (and like) "The Phantom of the Opera"??

Unfortunately, I haven't seen it yet.


Which musical do you like?

Is "Yentl" a musical? I love it!

What's your favourite opera?

Georges Bizet: "Carmen".
And I think, that "Yentl" is a musical.


Did you turn on the heating today?

Not yet, but I did yesterday!

Do you suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), and if yes, when?

no, I really don't, unless it rains for weeks on end

what you you think of Obama?

he is a showpiece and flagship coloured politician- nothing else.

will he survive (literally spoken)?

well, lets wait for the elections

which shakespeare drama is your favourite one?

Romeo & Juliet


What's your favorite Shakespeare comedy?

Much Ado About Nothing - but that might be due to the fabulous film...

What's your favourite fairytale - and why?

The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. I do not exactly know why, but when I was a kid, this fairytale touched me in a way no other story did. I should read it again.


Same question!

I've thought long and hard, but if it comes down to choosing just one, it's probably still Cinderella. Maybe due to the fabulous film? Yes, and because it goes to show that if a woman has great animal friends and is not afraid of walking through the snow half-barefoot, she's bound to be lucky.

Do you believe in miracles?

well, unfortunately not. but I would´nt mind, if a miracle came along to show me that its possible
...of course a positive one

can you trace a (english) native-speakers origin through his/her accent?

It depends - I can roughly distinguish between American and European. When I don't understand someone, they might be British or Indian, and when someone sounds completely "normal" to me, well, then, they are probably Irish. :rolleyes

What do you associate with Ireland?

A gentler pace of life, beautiful landscape, music, and some really nice people.

Searching the web for something completely different, I just came across this page and thought it might be of interest: Eight podcasts for lesbians
I haven't checked out any of them, so I don't know whether they are any good.


Do you like listening to podcasts or audiobooks? (and just in case a certain potential lurker is reading this, yes this includes audiobooks in Dutch... )

I LOVE listening to poetry recitings on tape or CD, but when it comes to novels, I prefer visual books to audio books.

What is a "potential lurker"? Is this just another, funnier word for headhunter?

No.
Somebody who I think might occasionally be reading this board as a guest but not posting. *waves*


Do you like to lurk on boards or do you prefer to be part of the fun yourself?

I don't lurk anywhere but here. But I so wish there were "potential lurkers" here on the board. Like, in my sense of the word. And I do have one. Potential, that is.

How will you spend Christmas eve?

With a good friend, her best friend and her cat.


Which is your favorite Christmas carol?

I have two I like very much:

"Hark, the Herald Angel sings" and "O Holy Night"




What is your special wish for Christmas?

the translation of: wahlheimat !

*wink*
kann mir eine von euch sagen, wie ich dieses wort auf englisch sagen kann?
Thanks a lot

Adopted country. Wenn es kein Land ist, würde ich es mit adopted home/city/borough usw. probieren.


Do you think wrapping presents is an art form?

*danke, amelia! *

Some make it an art, some make it a disaster, and some make it a standardly wrapped present. Which category are you from?

I've just run across a beautiful description for s distinct tone of music I currently like a lot:

singer-songwriter Kate Walsh's style was described as "life caressing".

thinking about Sunday morning, this would be the perfect caption.

*shove*

Would you like to travel into outer space?
oh no, not at any time! i think i'd run scared...
how do folks live in complete absence of gravity?


what ails you?

Gravity. One-way streets. Migraines. Right now - nothing, I'm fine, just incredibly tired.

What do you treat yourself to after a hard working day?

i treat myself to relax, to ride my bike, to enjoy playing in my band... it's just an ordinary life


are you interested in other peoples lives?

Very much so! I could watch other people all day. Or read about them.

If I passed you on the street or saw you in a café, to what kind of story would you inspire me?

A story of adventure, mystery and, hopefully, love.

Are you ruled by the heart or the mind?
