Inverview Meme (and answers)...
Aug. 25th, 2007 03:08 pm1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, or your favorite kind of sandwich, maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.

mireille719:
1. What's your favorite memory of your summer in Japan?
wow there are almost too many to pick, you know? I think it has to be the afternoon Megan and I spent at the Imperial Iris Gardens in Yoyogi Koen. It's this huge field of iris tucked in between the trees, and we spent the afternoon snapping pictures and drinking in the beautiful sunlight that filtered down to the flowers.
2. What music do you listen to when you want something cheerful?
I listen to silly music - things like Presidents of the United States of America. Or this "twee" band that our friend introduced us to named Tullycraft. They're sorta jangly and goofy and have songs like "Rumble with the Gang Debs" and stuff like that. It makes me smile.
3. How did you find fandom?
I'd actually been given a theory book by the boyfriend for Christmas one year called ... "Reading the Vampire Slayer" I think. In it there was this essay on femslash and what they thought was particularly progressive about women writing for women/about women/etc. And I was like, "there's written porn on the web about buffy? really? I've got to find some of that!" so I found some links for Buffy/Faith and then some yahoo lists, and then for some reason read a couple of Buffy/Giles and found buffygiles.com and ... that was it. I was in.
4. You have to give up either music or TV. Which do you choose?
EEEK! NOT EITHER! I'd actually probably give up music. I love music, but i'm a really haphazard listener - i don't remember song lyrics, i tend to forget band names, and i have a ton of trouble with individual musicians, even when I've been listening to the band for 10 or so years. But TV? Cooking channel? I'd probably go through withdrawal. (now, even though I'm being honest about that, which would would I like to miss the least? TV)
5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Right now? Tokyo or Nice, France. I know, totally two different places. But Tokyo satisfied all of my city urges AND included all these beautiful spaces within the city, because that's just how the Japanese roll. But Nice has always been a dream - french countryside, beautiful beaches, books, wine, wonderful people... mmmmm.
