podlingSo back in the interviewing meme, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dangerdean asked me things to which I will now provide answers...
1. What qualities do you want in a crazymonkeyloveslave?
This is actually a pretty tough question. Because I'm actually thinking that I want more than that now. Or perhaps I just want crazymonkeylove as opposed to an actual loveslave. But there are lots of important things. There has to be an emotional connection for me. There has to be similar senses of humor. They have to make me laugh, but in a good way. They have to be somewhat empathic (and I don't mean all supernatural-like, I mean, they have to pay attention and react accordingly). They have to prioritize me somewhat. I don't need to be # 1 or 2 or 3 priority in my loveslave's life, but I should be somewhere up there. I'm sure there's other stuff too. But for now, this'll do.
2. So. Neil Finn, huh?
Yessssss. Neil Finn. It's not like I worship the guy or anything. Or not exactly, anyway. It's just that to me, he is the quintessential singer-songwriter. His songs speak to me in a way that nothing else does really. On occassion another song by someone else will, but his music does it pretty much regularly, which is amazing, in my opinion. I don't get tired of listening to him. And there is a huge amount of material to listen to. And in concert... oh. my. god. it was so great!!! So yeah, I'm a fangirl. Hee.
3. I know you aren't originally from there, but in which ways are you, and in which ways are you not, a Jersey girl?
My pace of life is very fast-fast Jersey like, I think. I mean, the Northeast as a whole is pretty fast paced sometimes, but really, Jersey is up there. I'm used to having things open all the time, being really close to whatever I need when I want it. However, I think growing up elsewhere definitely makes how I see things non Jersey girl-like. For instance, I don't think twice about driving 45 minutes to get somewhere I want to go or to visit someone. And this is often not the case with native New Jerseyans. Oh, and I don't have poofy hair, but most Jersey girls don't now anyway. But really, I'm just not as "hip" as pretty much all Jersey girls. I don't know if that really answered anything, oh well.
4. I can think of a Vancouver answer for this, but what are "screaming subway weasels?"
Ah. Well, you see, when you go into the subway, sometimes there's this really high pitched noise. Sometimes it's high pitched enough so that everyone just kind of winces, and other times it's like, supersonic and only dogs and like, people with odd hearing hear it. And both noises are the screaming subway weasels. You hear them well before they attack. That's why some subway stations have no homeless people sleeping in them, they hear the weasels and run. And obviously the weasels have specific haunts, so you always hear them near, say, Chambers St.
5. What feeds your soul?
Music, and color, but mostly music. I'm an addict, I admit. But I've felt such amazing highs and lows listening to music. There are other things... kayaking restores a sense of balance. But listening to music, that's where it's at. I think part of it is that when I was really young I almost went deaf, and knowing that, knowing that I could've lost that, it gives it more weight in my life. And lyrics are poetry that can speak to the soul. So it's life-giving. And then there's that whole "music is the vibration of the universe" thing that I used to go on about. But it's just the truth, music feeds my soul. It is everything.
