Tag Game: 11/11/11

Lots of thanks to the marvelous @trickster-writes for tagging, I had a lot of fun doing this!

1. Write down the name of the book that is currently nearest to you.

“The Sun And Her Flowers” by Rupi Kaur. I got it a few days ago and finished it in a day, it was really enjoyable. I’ll probably buy her other poem book, “Milk And Honey”, since I’ve heard good things about, but I have a couple other books I’d like to get to first.

2. What’s the last song you listened to?

“Candy Store” from ‘Heathers: The Musical’, I start and finish my day with this. I’ve been listening to the musical on a loop and it became my favorite through sheer force of attitude.

3. What’s the last video you watched on Youtube?

“The One Thing You Can’t Replace” as a ‘Heathers’ animatic. If you concluded from this pattern that I might go on a murder spree, I have already thought of it and would much rather sleep, so you’re safe. Rejoice.

4. Biggest pet peeve?

People who shit on the newer generations for not being “as good as their ancestors”. Oh, sure Barbara, your generation fucked up the economy so bad that my chances at getting a job inside Greece are sub-zero, but by all means, keep telling me how lazy we are and how phones are destroying our culture.

5. When was the last time you finished writing a story?

3 three weeks ago or so. It’s a mystery-comedy play that we’ll hopefully perform with my class for our middle school graduation. It’s tiny and I finished it in 4 nights but I’m hella proud of it, and I hope it’ll be as good as last year’s seniors’.

6. Other than being a writer, what would you like to be?

A zoo-keeper. Because if I can’t write about dragons, crocodiles are the next best thing.

7. Have you ever published a story, poem, or book?

Nope. Not yet.

8. What characterizes your writing style?

Description, I think. I like going into detail, and use comparisons and metaphors as much as I can.

9. Have you ever considered writing children’s books - or, generally, books for any other age group?

Yeah, I did try making up stories for my kid-cousins once, but they ended up too dark so I had to scrap ‘em. I’m talking about princess fairy tale turned into political drama, revolution and royal assassination. So, yeah.

10. What’s the worst job you’ve ever had? (if not applicable: What job would you hate to have?)

I haven’t had a job yet, but from my experience as a scout, I’d hate working in the military. This whole “be completely obedient and just like everyone else” thing they had going left a bad taste in my mouth. And while we’re at that, “your behavior is reflected in your superiors and you should listen to everything they say”. I got my first anxiety attack as a scout because I was the leader of a division and literally no one gave a damn about responsibilities, so I would later get scolded for their behavior.

Also, I don’t know if this is specific to Greece or even just my city, but scouts ended up being conservative as hell. Like, they carried a sort of hidden sexism with them that I only noticed after I left, and if I begin talking about how hard they clung onto religion, I wouldn’t end any time soon. Our superiors and elder scouts have all had some sort of connection to the military and constantly joke that scouting is like military for kids, so I’m gonna try and keep my distance as much as I can.

11. Has a book or a story ever made you cry? If so, which one(s)?

My math textbook. Other than that, I think the one that came the closest was the short story "Landscape with Flatiron", by Haruki Murakami. I don’t know what it was about it, but if I wasn’t at school when I finished it, I would have probably cried a little. It isn’t really meant to be sad, but it isn’t meant to be happy either. It has this empty, numb feeling about it that fits perfectly with the theme, and the characters felt so real. I would highly recommend it.

BONUS QUESTION: Books that have made you laugh out loud or grin the whole time?

To give you an idea of how long I have had to read something that made me laugh, it was “Dork Diary 10” when it first came out.

Now, time for my questions:

1. What is your dream vacation?

2. What is your most listened-to song of the week?

3. Do you still have some/any of your favorite childhood toys?

4. What is your favorite movie?

5. What’s your best memory from your school years?

6. What is the worst book you’ve ever read?

7. What clothes do you wear most of the time (specific or general style)?

8. What character (both other authors’ and yours, including from works in progress) do you relate with the most?

9. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

10. When was the last time you cried from any emotion?

11. What’s a thing that never fails to leave you feeling warm inside?
