Wednesday 27 April 2011 Bite-Sized Interviews #3
Interview 
Name three things you love starting with the letter A.
My all-time favourite band Arcade Fire, my home city Auckland & Animals! I take photographs of stray cats & dogs all the time when I'm travelling and I always stop for a cuddle & pat :)
Did you have an imaginary friend when you were a kid?
No, but I had a Big Bird soft toy from the age of 2 that I considered a real friend (which is kind of imaginary).
Whats the most annoying thing EVER to you? i.e. Whats your pet hate?
People who walk really slowly on busy footpaths. I thought I would have come to accept it by now since I live in London, but no, it still annoys me!
What's the coolest gift you've ever received?
I think it would have to be my birthday present two years ago when my fiance surprised me with a weekend away to Dublin and tickets to see Fleetwood Mac while we were there. Such a fun weekend!
If you had to pick a Reality TV show to be on what would it be?
I'm not a big reality TV show fan, the only one I really like is the Amazing Race so that would definitely be it - I love travelling, reading maps and arguing about directions (ok, not so much) so I think I'd be pretty good at it :)
Name three things you love starting with the letter A.
1. Apples. Pink Lady apples are my favorite, I eat like three per week.
2. Airplanes that take me somewhere awesome!
3. Against Me!'s album "is reinventing Axl Rose". An all-time favorite. (www.againstme.net)
Did you have an imaginary friend when you were a kid?
I actually had three. Mickey, Minnie and Timmy. And apparently Timmy was the bad one who made me do bad things. My mom insists he was quite creepy, like I'd talk in a really low evil voice when I was ... I guess "channeling" Timmy. I wonder if he's still around...
Whats the most annoying thing EVER to you? i.e. Whats your pet hate?
Well, I have probably ten thousand things I could say here, but I guess the thing that is the worst for me on a regular basis is when people don't respect others on public transit.
That includes listening to your music so loud everybody can hear it, being a drunk idiot, insulting complete strangers, being that gross old guy who picks his head scabs constantly, singing or whistling loudly like a crackhead, taking up two seats with your shopping bags when the bus is full, being a man who things his wang is so big he has to sit with his legs spread right out so he's taking up half of my leg room too, leaving your backpack on while standing in the aisle and whacking me in the face...oh there's so many jerks on the bus. So so many jerks.
What's the coolest gift you've ever received?
Wow. Tough question. I think that depends...when I was still living at home my parents used to take the family on awesome trips to Mexico, Disneyland...they'd do things like put airplane tickets in our Christmas stocking...stuff like that. That was the kind of gift that I think always kind of stays with you. But then there are gifts that mean a lot, like this Christmas my boyfriend Ryan got me a lomo camera I'd been dying for, but only mentioned it once or twice around him. It was one of those "He knows me so well and it means a lot" kind of thoughtful gifts. Also very cool.
If you had to pick a Reality TV show to be on what would it be?
CASH CAB!!! I love that show.
Name three things you love starting with the letter A.
1) Well, the first one is pretty easy, my mister/lover/gets me laughing when I'm ready to crumble Adam.
2) Any sort of Apple product, my iPhone, my iPod, my Macbook Pro, and my future iPad. ;)
3) Agent Provocateur. So expensive that I'll probably never own anything, but their marketing and videos are hot! http://www.agentprovocateur.com/
Did you have an imaginary friend when you were a kid?
I probably did, but no one of significance cause I can't remember their names. I was more of a dreamer and would read books or watch movies wanting to be the lead woman instead. I still do this.
Whats the most annoying thing EVER to you? i.e. Whats your pet hate?
I had to think long and hard on this one cause I'm a pretty laid back girl. Having to repeat myself used to really annoy me, but I'm learning to repeat myself all the time now cause people don't understand my accent! Oh! Not responding to emails. If you have an email address, use it, check it, and respond. Even if your'e not interested.
What's the coolest gift you've ever received?
6 months into our relationship it was my birthday. He gave me a card and a postcard inside an envelope. The Post card was all in code, which he created himself! It took me all day to decode it, but when I did, I was doing a happy dance around my office. He booked us flights to Mexico! I was so excited as I had never been on a plane before! He didn't know what he started, cause now I can hardly go a month without being on one!
If you had to pick a Reality TV show to be on, what would it be?
This one is hard, cause we don't own a TV! But perhaps Next Top Model, any country, as their fashion photographer! Oh yea, that is so it! :)
Thanks so much pretties!!
And remember to let me know if you want to do one of these fun little interviews!
P.S. I'll be away until the 10th May so if you send me a message I'll email you back after that :)
