kennahijjaIn place of a proper greeting post, a tiny introduction meme for necomers and oldbies on this silly LJ alike:
1) Tell me three things about your fandom activities/preferences
2) Tell me two things about *you*
3) Tell me one random thing :).
And if I start to bore you, don't hesitate to unfriend me - honestly! ;)
And, again in place of a proper introduction, a meme full of boring childhood memories, gacked from the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
riibu:
1. What was the first car your family had?
The first I can remember was a turquoise Citroen.
2. What was the name of your first pet and why?
A budgie called Hansel. It was the family budgie, and named after generations of my grandma's budgies – they all had the same name. Boring, no?
3. What did you want to be when you grew up?
An astronaut :). A nun when I was very young (and no, I never was Catholic...)
4. What was the name of your elementary school?
Königsknollschule... named after the general neighbourhood and a close-by street.
5. Who was your first best friend?
Monique... she was American of Dutch origin, and her father worked for the American garrison.
6. Are you still friends today, and if not, what happened?
No – they moved, and I never saw/heard of her again. I was about 8 or 9 back then.
7. What was your favorite board game?
Malefiz... don't ask me what that may be in English, though from the design it might have US roots... I loved chess too – only the males in my family knew how to play (my dad and uncle) and it felt like an initiation to play :).
8. Did you play house or other make believe games?
Always make-believe games, but very rarely house...
9. Were you a Dungeons and Dragons geek?
No. I didn't really know what it was as a kid (a few boys at school played it and were very secretive/cliqueish about it). I'd have loved to, though.
10. Did you sleep with stuffed animals as a kid?
Amsik, my stuffed lion. But he usually slept at the footend of the bed...
11. Do you still sleep with stuffed animals?
Nope – I never was much into that, and only have said stuffed lion left.
12. Who was the first person you looked up to when you were younger?
Crazy Horse :).
13. Who was your favorite relative?
My grandmother on the mother's side.
14. Were you short or tall in elementary school?
Average – not particularly short.
15. Were you teased in school?
Occasionally. I was never popular, but never gave a damn because I had my mind on other things. I wasn't a violent child, but I did hit people who tried to bully me seriously once or twice, which helped :). My good friends I met outside school.
16. What was the name of your favorite teacher?
Mr Rücker – I don't remember teachers from primary school, beyond vague impressions. He taught religion, but most of all respect for others' beliefs, and he was a politically active person, which impressed me to no end.
17. What was the name of your least favorite teacher?
I don't remember, but he taught German and was bloody incompetent and tried to hide it by picking on pupils.
18. What was your best subject in school?
German.
19. What was your worst subject in school?
I sucked equally at maths and physics.
20. Did you do well in Physical Education?
No. I loved ball games, though.
21. Were you clumsy when you were younger?
Pretty much ;).
22. Who was your favorite band as a kid?
ABBA
23. What was your favorite movie as a kid?
Star Wars
24. Did your parents read to you?
I honestly don't remember, but I think they must have – I started to live part-time in the town library after I was six or so and could read for myself.
25. Did you have a favorite book?
Many :). A book about a squirrel family when I was little; a novel about the fate of a beaver colony; a novel about the crusades and medieval Morocco... I still have those, and re-read them ;).
26. What was your favorite restaurant as a kid?
I didn't have one – occasionally, my parents took me out with them, but my later tastes were different...
27. What TV or movie star did you have a crush on?
I was in love with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker – I never gave a damn about stars, only characters.
28. Do you now wonder what you were thinking?
No – I have a lousy memory for RL details, but my imaginary worlds are still somewhat vivid.
29. Who was your first crush in school?
A very mild one, on a neighbouring boy – Christof.
30. As a child, what kind of car did you want when you grew up?
I'm as painfully disinterested in cars now as I was then – I'll never want to have a Mercedes, I hate them (they're built where I live).
31. Did your parents spank you?
They slapped me a few times – I have forgiven (but not forgotten) the one or two more serious incidents.
32. Did your parents fight a lot when you were a kid?
Not really.
33. Did your parents get divorced or stay married?
Stayed married.
34. If they got divorced, how old were you when it happened?
-
35. Did you ever run away from home?
Once from home (only for a day) and once I went home from a Kindergarten excursion into the local woods (I knew them by heart since my parents took me for walks there a lot, but everybody was frantic).
36. How old were you when/if you first got glasses?
8.
37. Did you need braces or a retainer?
I had both, but as a teenager (13 to 16 or so)
39. Both sexes when did you start shaving?
At 25, for skirts in summer.
40. Girls when did you start wearing a bra?
13 or 14 – don't remember in detail.
41. What was your first kiss like?
Interesting... I knocked him down a small hill in outrage ;).
42. What did you do on your first date?
We went for ice-cream.
43. How old were you when you first drank?
6. It involved hiking in the Dolomites, a closed refreshment hut, and my parents up a hill in mid-July with nothing but two cans of beer. I had one, and am said to have slept like a log through the night. I still hate beer today :).
44. Where was your first house?
Sindelfingen. The family home. I still live there right now.
1) Tell me three things about your fandom activities/preferences
