1. WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME? Country of Origin

Anke Schröder, Germany

2. WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LIKE?

Alternative, Gothic (Wave, Batcave), Punk, mainly music with good lyrics (ok, "good" is subjective, but my point still is possibly clear)

3. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?

A blueberry muffin.

4. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOUR WOULD YOU BE?

Either black or purple or bright orange, depends on mood

5. HOW IS THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW?

dark. too warm.

6. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?

Depends on what the member of the opposite sex looks like.

7. FAVOURITE BOOK?

Not an easy question, cannot restrict myself to only one. The following will be just a tiny part of my list of favourite books, in random and strictly non-hierarchichal order.

a.) Astrid Lindgren - Die Brüder Löwenherz (The Brothers Lionheart); favourite book of my childhood, together with almost all of Lindgren's works.

b.) Donna Tartt - The Secret History; really great book. Eye witnesses report that I almost got a crush on one of the main protagonists while reading it. They are liars of course and just want to gossip. But the book is really really great

c.) I can't help mentioning Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy - the hardest battle I ever fought and won against a book. Since I defeated it I love it.

8. FAVOURITE DRINK NON ALCOHOLIC?

Coffee (less of a favourite drink than of an essential )

9. FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?

depends, Bordeaux and any Cocktail my ex-flatmate mixes, probably not on the same evening as the wine

10. SIBLINGS AND THEIR AGES:

Brother, 27
Sister, 37

11. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD?

Chinese


12. FAVOURITE SOUND

birds at dawn


13. FAVORITE DAY/TIME OF THE YEAR?

autumn, when there are still really warm days (that I can run around in short dresses and belly-free tops) but also already rainy and stormy days
(best for sitting in my rocker chair with a good book)
14. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?

when I'm really interested: definetely yes

15. FAVORITE BOARD GAME

Monopololy

16. IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE, LIVING OR DEAD. WHO WOULD IT BE?

Oscar Fingal O' Flahertie Wills Wilde. In case he's busy George Gordon Lord Byron would be ok as well.

Tracy - I wish I could, but it doesn't work for me. I just wait and nothing happens, even though I have cable.
