I just found Nimh's thread about what newspapers one reads and why and I remembered that one of my favorite features of one of my favorite newspapers is this thing called starters. They choose a person every week and interview them- asking pretty interesting questions. I always learn a lot about the person - sometimes I'm very surprised - and sometimes it inspires me to learn more about them (either read their book or listen to their music or check out their films- whatever).
This week, it was a guy called Seasick Steve. I liked his interview so much I'm going to download his album.
It also makes me think about the same questions and answers in my own life - and sometimes I realize I come up with some pretty surprising answers.
I'd be interested to read about others on a2k.
Anyway - interview yourself- here are the questions:
(I guess you can copy and paste the questions and add your answers:
When are/were you the happiest?
What is your greatest fear?
What is your earliest memory?
Which living person do you most admire?
What is the trait you most dislike in yourself?
What is the trait you most dislike in others?
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Aside from property, what's the most expensive thing you've bought (or would buy if you could)?
What is your favorite smell?
What is your most treasured possession?
Who would play you in the film of your life?
If you could live anywhere, where would you most like to live?
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
What do you most like about your appearance?
What would be your fancy dress costume of choice?
What is the worst thing anyone's ever said to you?
What is the best thing anyone's ever said to you?
What is your guiltiest pleasure? (*I liked Seasick Steve's answer to this - he said: 'I've got no guilt when it comes to pleasure - none at all...
)
What is your favorite book?
To whom would you most like to say sorry and why?
Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
What is the worst job you've ever done?
What has been your biggest disappointment?
What has been your biggest success?
If you could edit your past, what would you change?
If you could go back in time - which era would you return to?
How do you relax?
How would you like to be remembered?
Where would you most like to be right now?
