---

and here are *annieoakley64's 11 questions for me...

1. What are the 5 most important qualities about yourself?

i can only think of one "important" quality:  i am loving to all people, even if i don't agree with their beliefs.

2. If you could have any vehicle in the world, what would you choose?

porsche 911 turbo.

3. What is your favorite movie of all time?

oh dear.  i have many favorites...  i'll go with pirates of the caribbean: the curse of the black pearl.

4.Where would you go on your very own dream vacation?

that's like...impossible to decide.  somewhere rural and exotic, where i could be immersed in a lot of nature and wildlife, and possibly see some amazing ruins...  like somewhere in south america, or asia...  jungles and animals and ruins have been my dream for like...ever. and things like volcanoes...

5. If you could meet one special person in your lifetime, who would it be?

silly question.  dwight schultz!

6. Who or what is your most favorite thing to draw or paint?

i like drawing women's fashion, making up my own...  and not 'modern' or 'popular' fashion.  just whatever my mind conjures.  once i did a whole series of 'angels' of certain things.  angel of art, music, dance, etc...  gave them all unique looks and personalities...  i wonder where those drawings are.

7.How old were you when you first started enjoying art?

infancy.

8. What are you the most afraid of?

sudden death, and thus being forgotten/what i wanted to do in life not being done or made known.  even if i...get cancer, and linger for months, it would be better than sudden death, because then i could get things accomplished.  although...since i know i'd be in heaven, and God would take care of what was really important here, i suppose it wouldn't be...well, it would be bad.  but at least i know there's a good future...  something really terrible is disappointing people, however.  i actually lose sleep and have nightmares about disappointing people...  that's very worrisome to me...  that, and saying things that offend people without realizing it.  i do it at least once a day, and i probably lose the most sleep over that.  argh.  *is insecure*

9. Would you rather live in the Big City or in the secluded Countryside, and why?

country.  i like privacy and nature and being distant.  cities seem insane to me, being around people is stressful and tense, and a lack of nature is torture.

10. If another artist offered to draw or paint something for you, for free, what would you ask them to make?

it would depend upon their specialty, style, and expertise.

11. What do you enjoy most about being a member of deviantART?

  amazing fan art, and amazing nature photographs.

a~nd...tagged again, same meme, this time by *KaizokuShojo.  i'm posting it in the same journal because...i'm like that.  i don't like doing lots of tags unless i'm very active on a site, and obviously i'm not active here due to school and such.

anyway, these questions are a little more up my alley i think...

1. What is the air velocity of an unladen swallow?

har har har. i won't dignify that with a response. mind the lorry~ _{cookies if you get that.}

2. What is your favourite colour?

<---duh.

3. Star Trek or Star Wars? Why?

star trek, of course.  because it's realistic.   because it's optimistic, involves earth and humans and tries to exist within reality, and points to an ideal future where earth is united and everyone helps each other and greed is abolished among humans...  everyone is happy in star trek, and they basically just...have fun for their jobs.  exploring the universe and discovering new things...  no hate or anything like that.  what could be more awesome?  i've even quoted picard in school assignments (the line from first contact, from memory: "the acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives.  we work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.") because it's just so awesome.

4. Pokemon or Digimon? ( )

oh gosh.  i have little experience with both.  i don't remember digimon adventure or adventure 02.  but i adored frontier.  and pokemon i've never played, but as an anime...kind of lame.  i guess i'm going with digimon...but i think it's one of those things i could change my mind on week to week.

5. Favourite Zelda game? (If you've never played one, guess! )

  pft, never played...  well, i think i'll enjoy ocarina of time the most when i get around to playing them, based on what i've heard.

6. Favourite song/piece of music?

the little fugue in g minor, by j.s. bach.

7. Favourite actor?

  silly question again.  dwight schultz!

8. Favourite food?

hmm...swiss cheese.  or chocolate ice cream.  or chicken-tortilla casserole...or macaroni...or grandma's tacos....argh!  okay.  chicken-tortilla casserole.  there's just nothing else like it anywhere, it's utterly amazing.  i wish everyone could try it...

9. Dream job?

hmm...  either owning my own music school for kids/youths, or, playing timpani in a professional orchestra or opera orchestra.

10. What thing are you worst at that you would change if you could?

my lack of communication ability.  i think i communicate fine, but clearly i don't since i tend to offend people until no one i know will speak to me.  so yeah, that. *depressed much at the reminder*.....

11. What's the best way to spend a quiet night?

either reading a good, long book, or hanging out with a close friend.

---

and now...my tags.   but since it's the same meme, i'm only tagging 11 people, not 22...  tags can get irritating.

---

and my eleven questions for them...

1 - When you pass an acquaintance and they say "how's it going?" do you actually want to answer, or do you consider it a social greeting with no meaning behind it?
2 - Best Star Trek series and why?
3 - Best Star Wars movie and why?
4 - If you could go on an adventure, what would it be?
5 - Creation or evolution and why?
6 - Is the remake better than the original, or vice versa?  Why? (examples: modern Star Trek vs Original; modern A-Team vs Original)
7 - Rate the following in order by whatever criteria come to mind, and explain your reasoning:  tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, meteors, tsunamis, monsoons, floods.
8 - If you could encounter a wild animal, what would it be?
9 - Global warming: myth or real?  Cyclic or modern?  Caused by emissions from our cars, or dinosaur farts?
10 - What is the best incarnation of Sonic the Hedgehog?
11 - Best actor/actress of all time, and why?

if i didn't tag you, and you are so inclined, feel free to answer these in the comments.  i love discussion of random topics.
