o1. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

o2. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you It's 2am and I'm too tired to bother. Do it if it strikes your fancy.

What kind of people you like the most?
I prefer honest folks with a sense of humor.

How do you style your hair?
It's naturally curly, so I tend to brush it out with my fingers and leave it down. It's piled on top of my head by the end of the day though.

What's the last book you read?
Lover Enshrined, the book about Phury from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

What color shirt are you wearing now?
Purple.

Are you an introvert or extrovert?
I'm actually an extrovert by nature, but by habit I tend to become more introverted if I'm in a large group of people or with strangers.

Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer?
If I'm forced to choose, it's gotta be Firefox. It really depends on the site though, and I honestly prefer Chrome over either one of these.

Who is more famous than they deserve?
Anyone with the last name Hilton (either Perez or Paris, take your pick)

Who was the last person you hugged?
Teresa, a friend from church

What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Harry Potter/Tokio Hote/Chocolate - TH, the second choice, can actually fit in any of the three spots. LOL

What was the last thing you ate today?
Snickerdoodle wanna-bes (sugar cookies) and organize Earl Grey tea.

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
About 2 hours. But I hate mornings. An hour to putz around and convince myself I actually do need to get ready, 20 minutes to shower, 30 for makeup, and 10 to dress. I have a method.

What websites do you visit daily?
- Livejournal, Facebook, Youtube, Webkinz. Twitter don't count since I have a desktop app for it.

What's the last movie you watched? Either in the cinema or at home?
Mom took me to see District 9 for my birthday. I almost walked out in the first 15 minutes because it was so slow to start, but I'm glad I stayed for it. Awesome movie, though it did remind me of some nightmares I've had. Was very surprised by the actor who played Wikus, Sharlto Copley. The character actually turned out to be developed quite nicely, and it was well played.

Do you like to clean?
Oh Lord no, I really don't. I'll do it of course, and sometimes I go on cleaning sprees at very odd times. But for the most part I deteste it. Well okay, unless it involves Scrubbing Bubbles. Because those are fun to play with. Or new gadgets (just got a new bagless vacuum - my floor's never been so clean).

What time is your usual bedtime?
At the moment since I'm off work, it's around 3am. But once school starts back up in a week or so I'll be back on an 8pm schedule since I get up so early.

How many cell phones have you owned and which brands were they?
Um, maybe 6 or 7. Usually some cheapo LG or something. Whatever comes with my plan.

What is your favourite weather?
I love the Spring. The weather isn't too hot, nor too cold, and there's no more snow!

Favorite language?
My first love will always be French, but I love Japanese as well. German just goes without saying these days.

Where would you go if you could afford it?
Surprisingly, I'd love to visit London. Or any place in the UK really. I'm not picky.

German's such a cool language. Someday I want to learn it so that I can read Nietzsche in the original.

Never thought of it that way, but you're right about Nietzsche. I've been learning just a little bit here and there, enough to know that some things just don't translate into English very well at all.

It's always fascinated me though since it's so different from your standard romance types. The sounds are cool.

I love watching subtitled German films just to listen to the language. It really does have something special.

That, and there are some really awesome German films.

I've sadly neglected that genre. I've mostly watched French films, and a few odd others (norwegian and japanese). Got any good recs for some German films?

My absolute favorite is The Tin Drum. Seriously. It's intense, dark, and rather strange, but an absolute masterpiece about a very unusual child set in World War II . There's Die Welle, which is a very strong and important drama about a teacher and a classroom experiment. A Woman in Flames is another very intense drama about a housewife turned prostitute. Europa, Europa is an unbelievable yet true story of a young Jewish teen during World War II and that's another strong recommendation. I also love Zuckerbaby, about a mortician's assistant and a subway conductor, but, as far as I know, it's not available on DVD and I have not seen it since the 80's.

Awesome! Thank you for the recs. I'll have to hunt 'em down in Netflix to see what I can find. *claps*
