so lin-tel tagged me in this thing and i'm so sure you all are interested in everything about me ((and also it's raining and i feel this is an excuse to not get out of bed.))
Rule 1: Always post the rules.
Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.
Rule 4: Actually tell them you tagged them.
1. Have you ever put a song on repeat for days on end? If so, which song/s?
i'm gonna be really pretentious and say the suite from Petrushka which was last week under the pretext of learning it/writing an analysis when in reality it was so i could watch Alexandre Bloch's sweet ass bounce around the podium for a while (and i have a giant nerdy crush on Stravinsky)
2. If you could be a master of any art form, what would it be?
right now i kind of wish i was more of a master at tuba playing/music making than i am right now but if i had to pick anything else i'd first have to present to you the on going debate amoung scholars of 'What is art?' ...jks i'd pick dance. or martial arts (eyy) something that wasn't sitting in a practise room for hours because not that i mind that (in this weather) my butt gets sore.
3. What’s your reaction upon accidentally breaking something you really like?
Crying. then trying to fix it. Then denial that i can't fix it. Then denial that its actually broken. then crying some more. (most of the stuff i own now is pretty sturdy thanks to my mum's careful assessment of how fucking clumsy i am...)
4. Do you think the time you get up in the morning is relative to how much you’ve got your shit together?
Ha no. i get up at five and let me tell you, i've been confused since birth.
5. Out of the triangle of good grades/social life/sleep, which two do you usually pick?
social life and sleep. Because in the fantastic world of music, most of the time my social life is my grades (e.g. i went out for coffee with my tutor and he gave me an A...i feel dirty)
6. What tv shows are you watching atm? I need some recommendations.
my flatmate is american and incredibly opinionated and a bit of a dick, but he's gotten me into all these political dramas that go way over my head because i'm don't even know whose the prime minister of the country i currently live in but you know. Political Animals is good - it's a little soap-opera-y which works for me (Sebastian Stan and gay sex scenes. What more can you want.) Also, we just finished watching Firefly (Ahh!)
7. If you live at home, do you want to move out, and if so, why? If you’ve left home, do you miss it?
i was talking about this with my flatmate earlier! i moved out as soon as i could - i had just always known that i was going to move out at eighteen no matter what. i think that was the closest thing to a plan for the future that i've ever had. I miss it sometimes, but i don't think i could move back in hey. Although i do get so sick of my flatmates sometimes...
8. Are human beings fundamentally selfish?
yes. But we have to be, isn't that self preservation? although i guess there's a difference between looking after yourself to survive and actively being selfish beyond that.
9. Are the answers to the questions humanity asks (about death, suffering, love etc) to be found in the past or the future or not at all?
~They are to be found in your heart~ haha that's deep bro. I don't know. Who really wants all the answers anyway? **insert slightly blurry picture of me looking melancholy and out the window of a train**
10. What does your favourite mug look like and why is it your favourite?
It looks like this and it's my favourite because it's the biggest mug we own. More mug = more tea. win.
11. Do you have a song that you associate with one of your favourite memories of all time?
All i can think of right now is 'Steal the Light' by the cat empire because that was just a great night/weekend (and felix said i was pretty) and it was my jam through the second half of last year which was pretty fantastic
ew i don't know anyone on this stupid website apart from people lyndal already tagged so i shall be picking from random people on my dashboard to answer these riddle three (or questions eleven)
1) whats your worst habit?
2) describe the place you spend the most time in
3) if you were a kitchen utensil, what would you be?
4) never have i ever...(finish, then say weather you would drink or not)
5) (stealing this idea because i need something to waste my time on too) What are some good movies/Tv shows/bands?
6) if you were someone famous being interviewed, which questions would reporters be told not to ask you?
7) And what question would you love to be asked?
8) answer the question from 7)
9) is there something you never don't have? Where/how/why did you get it & start carrying it around?
10) if they made a movie about your life, who would you want to play you and what would you want the soundtrack to be?
11) in fact, just talk for a bit about music that you love.
