Ask The Next Person Anything

[jollisg]

No, that's when I have the most motivation. My motivation lacks when I have a lot of stuff in school...

Q: Do you use make up on a regular basis?

[musicgims]

  No, I don't make up. Most of the Chinese women do not use make up. It's true.
 
 My question: What movies do you like?

[jollisg]

A: I WANT to like horror movies, but none of them are good... I like documentaries, adventure and some other things. The most important is that the film is well made, not the genre

Q: Do you have any preconceptions about sweden? (Like "there's ice bears walking on the streets!" 

[littletune]

A:  no not really... except maybe that most people from there have blonde hair... I don't know what else...  Oh actually one other thing that i once heard my parents talking about, but I don't want to say it... it's nothing bad!! I'm just embarrassed to say it  (cause I'm not even exactly sure if I remembered it right).

Q: How often do you take a shower or a bath? And what was the longest time ever when you didn't have a shower or a bath? (like days, weeks, months...  )

[jollisg]

Most of the time once every other day Sometimes once a day or every three days... It depends on when I go to the gym
The longest time I've gone without showering... I think a week and a half, but that was sooo many years ago 
And tell, even if you don't remember it right

Q: Is the tap-water drinkable in your country?

Q: Is the tap-water drinkable in your country?

I think my record for not taking a shower was even two weeks!!    it's not nice!  and it wasn't that many years ago!  (but of course usually I shower more often than that!!)
Hmmm well... it was something about movies... like about what people let their kids watch... like... that in most countries they don't let their kids watch hmm... scenes about sex or things like that but they let their kids watch all the horrible violent scenes, but that in Sweden it's just the other way around...  that's what I remember from sometime long ago I don't even know why and when my parents would be talking about that and how old I was when I heard it but that's just what stayed in my head  don't really know why. 

A: it depends where, in some parts of my country it's not drinkable, but here where I live (in the central part, or how is it called) in the capital city it's drinkable!!  which is cool!!   

Q: Have you ever heard of Slovenia and do you know the difference between Slovakia and Slovenia (because people confuse that ALL the time  )?

[candlelightpiano]

Littletune: I've never visited any of the two countries but I believe Slovakia was part of the former Czechoslovakia and they separated about 15 years ago into two countries: The Czech republic and Slovakia. Slovenia is part of the former Yugoslavia and I think it borders Austria. Is that right, LittleTune?

How many languages do you speak and what are they?

[chopin1993]

I speak 4 languages.
1. Dutch
2. English

Slovenia is part of the former Yugoslavia and I think it borders Austria. Is that right, LittleTune?

Wow that's right! I mean Slovenia was a part of former Yugoslavia it's not anymore (I think since 20 years ago). How do you know so much?! 

Oh and I will leave the question in the previous post to someone else cause I have no idea what to answer. 

[candlelightpiano]

I cheated! I asked my husband!  He's the smart one in our family. He always tells me I'm good at a lot of things but I can't name one thing I'm good at.    Sorry, LittleTune.

I'll also leave the question for someone smarter as I haven't got a clue.

[richard_strauss]

I wrote that because I'm writing a book on the topic and wanted to know if any of you had some insight that I could use. I know I should have started a new thread but I thought it was gonna die soon and lonely... Let's change the question then 

Q: What piano do you have?

[jollisg]

I have a schimmel... But I have access to a REALLY good yamaha grand (I've never played on a better piano, if you don't count with the Steinway's I've played on) in the church near by (I have the key to the church).

Q: Do you consider yourself physically fit?

[megadodd]

I'm not ripped. I guess I'm the avarage "no gym guy". Healthy enough.

Has there ever been a drama about you, between people discluding yourself? What was it about?

[pianoplayjl]

I'm too reclusive to be invovled in these dramas;

Do you do weights? If so how much can you lift?

[jollisg]

I don't do the "regular" weight lifting-things, but I do work out... So I can't tell how much I'm able to lift :/

Q: What's the weather like where you live?

[megadodd]

It's windy, cold enough to not be able to breath through the nose, snowy, sometimes there is a glimps of sunlight, but rarely in the 6 months of winter. The road is covered by ice, so be careful out there.

Night, or morning? Why?

[49410enrique]

Night, or morning? Why?

a. morning. call  me boring but i think nights are over rated , besides most the of the things that get people into trouble happen after 9pm, i like to have accomplished more by 1000am than most do in a whole day.

q; would you let a friend of yours give you a tatoo of what ever they want (and you can't know what it is till it's done) for your choice of any piano in world for free?

[m1469]

Oh geez, that's tricky.  I've sometimes wanted a tattoo anyway, but I don't have one.  My short answer is yes, kind of in a heartbeat.  But, that means I'm taking it very literally as in, first and foremost, they're an actual friend!  And then it kind of depends upon what size it is and where it is, too.  

Q:  Would you prefer a weekend in a condo by the tropical seashore, or a weekend in a hidden cabin in the woods by a quiet and serene lake?

[ajspiano]

a: whichever location has a piano, but if that's not an option probably the cabin - must take a guitar.

q: Do you have, or do you want to have children?

[birba]

Would have liked to!
Do you ever wish you had never taken up piano?

[candlelightpiano]

No, though the way I play, some people may wish I had never taken up piano! 

Do you wish you had taken up another instrument?

[chopin1993]

Yes, next to piano I would have loved to play Cello!
And it´s not an instrument, but I have danced since I was 2 years old and stopped at age 13, wish I never did that. I´m 18 now and regret dropping out. I was good enough to go to the ballet academy, guess it wasn´t my passion. Stupid me.

What´s your favorite piano concerto?

[patrickd]

The Busoni piano concerto.

 Whats your favorite set of preludes?

[candlelightpiano]

Chopin's but that's because it's the only one I know!

What is your favorite season and why?

[ajspiano]

Chopin's but that's because it's the only one I know!

What is your favorite season and why?

^surely bach counts as something you know - just because they come with fugues doesn't negate them being potentially considered a set of preludes i think. I guess we'd need the 'asker' to clarify that. He also has the 6 little preludes..

I like summer - its not cold, and my dog is less of an overly energized skitz (he's such a stamina filled stallion of an animal). In winter he needs 2-3 hours RUN every day or he gets bored and annoying.

q: favourite musical genre not including classical piano.. ?

[megadodd]

1990s hardcore or traditional jazz ( excluding all the saxophone songs ). And dat sad bluuus.

A: BachScholar

Q: Has something strange and unexplainable ever happend to you?

[m1469]

Yes; I was "born."

Q:  What do you do if/when you can't sleep?

[megadodd]

I go up and play video games or watch a movie, it's just nothing to do about it if you really got in the habbit that one night of not sleeping. I'll be tired the next day, but it's just one day. And if I only sleep 3-4 hours that night, I'll be able to sleep more easily the next one.
That's my attitude atleast.

My best habit... I'm flossing my teeth at least 2-3 times a day

A: sort of.

Q: what are you watching right now?

[birba]

The computer screen.

[jollisg]

I don't know... I'm really bad at recognizing the point where something I've liked becomes boring...

Q: Are you hungry right now?

[49410enrique]

I don't know... I'm really bad at recognizing the point where something I've liked becomes boring...

Q: Are you hungry right now?
