Sounds like onigiri with pickled plum! I love rice too, and eggs are everything. I have these two things nearly everyday.

Of course! I just hope that my role is one big enough to make people happy.

Doesn't have to be a big role. Whatever it is, I'm sure you're making the people on this forum happy.

Dr W, do you think all the world's a stage, the men and women merely players having their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts?

I used to love :noble:and until came along.

Also,

She does if you count the Eyeliner Man connection.

Kate or Sawyer?

Or Juliet?

A day that leaves me feeling accomplished or having done something worthwhile, which sounds boring and all, but true. Either in having a good practice session, or baking cookies, or reading a good book. Also thunderstorms and hanging out with the family.

Anyway, thanks for the questions. Have to say, it's pretty tough answering questions, since I'm normally the one asking them.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Heiots, what music do you listen to?

That depends on how I'm feeling. I enjoy both instrumentals and songs. It can range from classical to funk to musical theatre to indie to ballads. For instrumentals, I enjoy a lot of post-rock, neoclassical, and funk with gospel chords. For songs, if I'm feeling particular about the way of singing, it'll be theatre or Whitney Houston/Celine Dion diva style. Lighter moods, esp if it rains, call for a softer, breathier style of singing. Lots of female indie singers. Sometimes jazz. To be honest, anything that doesn't sound like screaming or a continuous wall of noise, I'll usually give it a shot.

These few days, I've been in the mood for The Gadd Gang with Steve Gadd. Anything with a groove is bound to attract me.

Salutations!

1) What is the ultimate breed of cat? You may combine breeds if necessary.
I don't have an opinion on the ultimate breed of cat. I like too many to decide. Scottish Fold, Norwegian Forest, American Shorthair, Toyger, etc. I can say I'm not a huge fan of the Peterbald or Sphynx. I love tabbies with their markings, though they're not considered a breed.

2) Do you play video games? If so, what's your favorite?
No video games. No stones, please.

3) Do you cook? If so, what's your best dish? If not, what prevents you from cooking?
4 out of the 7 in my house enjoy cooking, so I don't often. I can (since I lived without family in the USA for a few years), just that there isn't really a need now since I'm back home. I cook when I'm bored or need to de-stress. Truthfully, baking > cooking. I don't know about best dish, but I think I'm pretty good at pasta with home-made marinara sauce.

4) What's your favorite food that you couldn't be bothered to cook yourself?
Porridge, I guess. Not the English style, but the Asian one with rice instead of oatmeal. It looks so simple, but it takes a lot of patience and skill to make a great bowl. My mother made peanut porridge just last night, and it was amazing. It looks something like this:



Fried rice, pasta, or instant noodles would be easier to do.

5) Crunchy or creamy peanut butter?
Crunchy! Texture.

6) What is the best fruit of all time?
Apple. Apples never fail. Except when they're mushy instead of cripsy. Mangoes too.

7) What is the worst vegetable of all time?
Probably Arugula because of how bitter it can get.

8) What movie makes you cry?
Movies don't often make me cry (usually the music does). I can't quite recall, but there was a part in the last Chronicles of Narnia movie that I teared up at.

9) Favorite childhood toy and why?
Books. (Does that count?) I read everywhere. From the bedroom to classrooms to the stairs to the bathroom and to crossing roads. I spent my recesses in the school library and didn't even realize it was nerdy. One of the few times I got reprimanded in school was for reading a storybook behind a school textbook during class. Nobody picked on me though. If they did, I was blissfully oblivious to it all.

And I must have had a comfort bear or soft toy when young. Or this little pillow that I favoured, but I'd hardly call it a security blanket.

10) Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Definitely introvert. I need my solitude and am fiercely possessive of my private space.

Step Ladder.

Golden wrote:Heiots, I already ask you questions all the time.

I'm not sure what to interrogate you on, but I guess some people won't know you, so how about:

Where do you live?
What do you do?
How awesome are you? (that's rhetorical)
What did you study at university?
What are your mafia origins?
Have you ever been lynched in a mafia game?
Will you ever come play mafia again?

1) I live in Singapore, and no, that's not in China.
2) I work in a music company that uses original music from indie artists and those tracks are played as background music for clients like retail stores, hotels, etc. Most often, I listen to hours of music, filter out the less-than-great ones, mark genres, and place them in suitable playlists. If a client needs a specific playlist to represent their brand, I'll have to put together a customized one for them.
3) I'm as awesome as you are.
4) I attained a B.A. in Music in university with voice as my major instrument, piano as secondary. Drums was an elective. With that were music courses like theory, history, performance, along with the basic uni core classes.
5) I started at Spoiler TV Forum, where no one posts there now. They needed two more players, so they recruited two newbies, and I was one of them. Got NKed too, along with the other newbie. The players were nice enough to kill us last.
6) If my memory serves me right, I don't think I've ever been lynched in a mafia game.
7) Good question. As of right now, I'll have to say no, though I enjoy hanging out with the friends I've made through mafia. I don't mind putting together a game but playing requires a different set of skills and energy level. Plus the aggression. My life lacks aggressiveness.

Probably how trippy everything seems to be. Then again, I've always wanted an experience like Narnia, Harry Potter, or Alice in Wonderland, which this isn't exactly as magical as entering another world through portals, but it possesses that surreal element. I like to think I'd be excited, but I'd likely be afraid due to unfamiliarity. (Doesn't the unknown scare people?) Anyway, I'd first look around for people I recognize. If they're around, unchanged, that's something to anchor myself to. Finding something familiar and then getting to make connections is the first step to making sense of what's happening. Also, staying calm and knowing things will turn out right will keep a person from losing their marbles.

I would tell that story, but unfortunately, it doesn't exist. I've smelled a couple of funky odours, but I've never been able to pinpoint the source. (On a sidenote, I love the smell of ice in freezers.)
