In an effort to better get-to-know my watchers, I'm doing the reverse of my ask-me-anything Fridays, by posing all of my watchers a question every Monday. Respond at will!

All respondents get a cookie.

Love you all!
:heart:

I noticed I forget the last time, so I’m going to catch up answering where I think I left off :)

 

78. Write the first sentence of your autobiography!

“She was not the quiet girl people thought her to be – she had a whole life nobody even know about.”

Not sure whether I should explain, and the sentence sort of sounds tacky, but at the same time, it rings true. Not a lot of people seem to be really interested in my hobbies, and sort of nod off once I’ve mentioned reading, even before I’m an avid zoo photographer. Yet, I feel it’s become a big part of who I am.

 

79. If you could hire any artist, living or dead, to do your portrait...who would you choose?

There are many old artists that I admire, but yet I feel their portraits might still be somewhat idealized and not always as realistic as I long to see portraits. For that reason, I think I’d like my portrait done by one of DeviantART’s amazing traditional artists, Ileana Hunter. Her style is sort of minimalistic, but that suits me just fine.

 

80. What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod/Player?

I LOVE listening to Ben Howard :D The song I listen to most, is Old Pine. It gives me the shivers everytime I hear it, but the good kind ;)

 

81. Where’s your favourite place to take an out-of-town guest?

Mostly, I take people to the woods behind my house. They’re open and luscious, and every time I visit, I spot some new wildlife. I hope the out-of-townies appreciate the same things I do, or else I guess I’ll have to take them shopping or something.

 

82. If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?

A lot of people seem to find difficulty pronouncing my name. It’s really kind of bothersome, having to correct people because apparently, they can’t read :hmm: However, I can’t think of a name I’d rather have. With every name, there’s something holding me back, it sounding weird, or remembering me of a different person.

Guess it would make things easier if I went by Marissa, but I suppose then, people will call me by my actual name :P

 

83. Which animals scare you most? Why?

Bugs. And spiders. Creepy crawlies and flysies. Is that even a word? Anyway, the creepers with more than four feet who crawl or fly. They freak me out. I’m a girly girl like that, often doing the there’s-a-bug-dance.

 

84. What story does your family always tell about you?

When I was little, I can’t even remember how old I was, there was this song. It was high on the charts, and apparently, I adored it. “No Limits” from 2Unlimited. You still hear it sometimes, it was in the Dutch World Cup commercial, so I was confronted with the story again.

While my sisters were doing their weird dance – standing on their hands, one leg in the air (they couldn’t do a handstand) – I was dancing, too. My mom says she recorded it and lost it, or at least regrets not having it on tape, because I was standing in front of the glass closet and… watching my booty as I was shaking it to the tune :ashamed: :blush:

 

85. What would people hear if they could read your mind?

Right now? Something along the lines of: I should read that book again, maybe I will tomorrow, I probably should take it along to vacation, but that’s not till a few days, and I really want to read, maybe I should start already, but what if I finish it before the vacation starts, I should probably read something else first, yes I should probably do that. *Deep breath* :D

 

86. If you could be the opposite gender for an entire day, what would you do in that time?

If I were a guy for an entire day – and I know it’s not like other women's fantasies as far as I've heard – I probably would try NOT to use the bathroom the entire day. I mean, seriously, that male appendix is not exactly attractive, though us women can’t help but be fascinated by it. But having to touch it while you, you know, use the bathroom? Just proves how icky the thing really is.

Gah, how bad is that I can’t think of a thing I want to do as a guy I can’t do when I’m a girl. Maybe put on a suit and apply for an overqualified job, and see what happens :shrug:
