Questionage!
Feb. 24th, 2009 08:34 pmI have here five questions that were asked of me by my very dear ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
faithinfire. If you want, you can comment here and I will ask you five questions of your own, about any random thing that occurs to me to ask! Then answer in your own journal, and supply questions for anyone else who asks for them!
1. If you won tickets that would let you go and see Maiden at any show they were playing in the whole world, what country/city would you most want to see them in?
*Scratches head* Hm. As to where, it would have to be London - Hammersmith, of course! There is nothing, but nothing, that beats seeing Maiden at home. And this time, if there could be a little fence around me so that I don't get the shit kicked out of me that would be cool. And Zico on support, kthx.
2. I'm so used to thinking of you as surrounded by critters that it's hard to remember that you must have had a first pet at some point! What was the first beastie you shared your life with?
OK, the first permanent resident in the family home after I was born? That would have been Wilhelmina, who my dad found on the airfield in Northumberland; he had a thing for bringing stray cats home, and although she wasn't a kitten (from photos I'd guess 6 to 8 months, possibly more) she was young enough to appreciate a nice snug billet. The name might seem a little odd, but she was William until she gave birth to 3 kittens!
This would have been a little before my sister was born, so early 1972? She died in 1990 - cat, not sister - and we didn't have any other cats while she was alive. Of course, we had a budgie, a dog, gerbils, mice, rabbits, canaries, fish, and all the various wild things (frogs, sticklebacks, snails, woodlice etc etc) that I kept in the back garden! Then Fred, Grimma, Wilson, Lister... ;)
My mum used to say if it was up to me and my dad, we'd fill the house with animals. She wasn't entirely wrong!
3. What's the coolest dream you can ever remember having?
Flying. And not just drifting, either; it took effort, not flapping-my-arms effort but some sort of flexing of the mind... kind of hard to explain. But it was controlled and it was hard work and damn it, it was wonderful - I was flying around a city at night, all film noir and dirty alleys, but the lights sparkled and I was free....
*Sigh*
It was beautiful, mate.
4. Are there any bits of yourself on which you wouldn't at least consider having tattoos?
No. It's all fair game!
5. Are you going to any gigs this year and if so which ones? (I want to know where I should be looking out for you...)
Deathstars 8th and 10th April, at Oxford and London - the only other one I'm pretty sure of is the Voodoo music festival in New Orleans! But I'm sure more will come up - been too long since I've seen Saxon, for one... ;)
