woodfaceI could write an essay on this one! If I could come up with something that is.
Autobriographical: there is one thing that I am really one day going to use in a book. It's an image of my mother, somewhere in may when the birds have made their nests. In the nook of our roof there are always sparrows who have their young there. And once in a while one will fall out and crash to its death. I remember being in the living room together with my mom and my sisters when my mom cries out "Oh no!" and runs outside. We're all confused and follow her and she is cradling a baby bird in her hands, gently stroking its head as it dies. I have never in my life seen such tenderness before.
Is it autobiographical to want Crowded House or Neil Finn to do the soundtrack? *g*
There is so little interesting stuff in my life. Maybe I'd try to capture a moment of the heroine's youth. It's a summer evening, the whole town is quiet. The heat has come down and she's walking around while dusk falls, dust from the horse she was visiting still coating her fingers. It's a quiet atmosphere that lingers in my head and I always associate with summer. Just like those cuts I got on the pads of my fingers where I cut myself on the grass I kept pulling out.
As a setting, I'd go to Ireland or New Zealand. Green all around, small and quiet towns where everyone knows everyone. I'd like to make a small touching movie, not something big and violent.
Hmmm, actors are difficult. I'd start out with unknown actors for the children. Then have them grow up. Perhaps Alan Rickman would be in it. He really is amazing and can do about any role. Put him along side Emma Thompson as they work great together. So may choices! Ralph Fiennes? I'm not sure he'd work in this kind of movie. I think I'd like to see what Miranda Otto (Eowyn) has in her, I think I could easily like her. Either her or the woman from the Mothman Prophecies (can't remember her name at the moment). Sean Connery as a grandfather? Ah or better; Colm Meany. I adore his acting, he can be funny and witty but very endearing. Oooooooo and Terry Farell because she's pretty but loveable.
I think I'm over my budget.
I'd miss the chocolate *g* and the gingerbread icecream! Quick (a giant!!!!) and paprika chips. Brussels, I'd definitely miss Brussels. I'm strangely in love with the city hall and the palace of justice. Belgian music, the few good bands we have. And the humour, you can not find Bart Peeters and Hugo Matthijsen anywhere else. The horror of not having grown up listening to those two on the radio! And Sinterklaas, that's one tradition I really like. =oD
My obvious one is "I don't want to be remembered"? Nope, definitely not. I want to be remembered as a writer. Know that the words I have written down have touched people and will continue to touch people. As a kid I believed that my soul would be alive as long as I keep making up stories. Perhaps having my stories still known after I'm dead will give me some sort of immortality.
This must be the hardest question. I think I have to name a person here; Evelyn. If she hadn't been in my life, I'm not sure what kind of person I'd be now. I don't know if her absence would have made my life better or not. She was an out of control teenager: by the age of 14 she smoked, had drugs and had sex with more than one guy. She lied to me, manipulated and at the same time I cared for her. After one week of joining in with her smoking, I said no to all the thing she did. I don't smoke, I won't ever try drugs and sex... well I'll have it on my time.
I hate to think what would have happened if we had stayed friends. I wonder if I would be loser, have had 15 boyfriends by now and slept with more than that. Perhaps it would have let me believe more in the possibility for me to be human and have a physical relationship with someone.
Did I mention that she was the only person I ever kissed?
- If you really want to get to know me, talk to me when it's just the two of us. I won't be half as open when I'm in a group.
- I don't ask many questions because I believe you'll tell me what you want me to know when you want to. So don't think I'm not interested, it's just not my way.
- When I'm cranky, don't try to make jokes. Chances are I'll take them wrong.
- Don't ever lie to me. I get angry very rarely but there are just some things I will never forgive. I am capable of letting a lot pass but once you overstep that line and I get enough, it's pretty final.
- A hug? I'm not half as tough as I seem.
...and the rules, in case you might want to play:
1. leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2. i will respond; i'll ask you five questions.
3. you'll update your website with my five questions, and your five answers.
4. you'll include this explanation.
5. you'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
