This one’s from John Green’s blog…

01. What’s the last TV show you saw?
Eli Stone [aka Why-oh-why was it cancelled?]

02. What are you wearing at the moment?
Black Jeans, white blouse with orange and brown stripes, a brown vest and sneakers.

03. Favorite Song of the Moment?
Tomato in the Rain by Kaiser Chiefs (Did I mention that I’m going to their concert in Febuary?)

04. What is your favorite scent?
Roses, Summer Rain, Autumn, Cinnamon, Coffee

05. What’s your occupation? What do you do there?
I’m an assistant and most of the time, I blog or read blogs. Unfortunately, that isn’t what I should be doing.

06. What do you drink the most?
Water. Coffee.

07. What is your favorite restaurant?
The Running Sushi place, which is opposite a book store, next to a cinema and vis-a-vis a Starbucks, ten minutes from my flat. Might be my favourite place anywhere at all. :)

08. What will you be doing after finishing this?
I guess, I’ll be writing another blog post to preschedule, while going through my reader.

09. What did you want to be when you grew up?
First, I wanted to be a vet (when I was 9 years old). Then I wanted to be a psychologist (15). And then I didn’t know anymore (19). And I still don’t really know.

10. Your favorite romantic movie?
Sense and Sensibility

11. What’s the least favorite thing about yourself?
I always have to wait to the last minute to finish things. I’m still waiting for the moment where it won’t work out that I leave the studying for an exam to the day of the exam or that I don’t start homework until 3 hours before I have to hand it in. But the surprising thing is that it always works.

13. What are your ideal qualities in a novel?
Good writing – meaning prose that I want to learn by heart, that makes me gasp, that perfectly conveys what the writer wants to say and voices that fit the characters speaking them
Good characters – meaning characters who come alive in my head, leap off the page, so to say, who are original and whole and deep and moulded.
Good story – a story doesn’t have to have much of a plot, but it has to be worth telling [On Chesil Beach, for example: Hardly any plot at all, but what a story!]

A good novel is a novel that I can’t wait to finish but that I don’t want to end. It’s a novel that completely takes me under and brings me into another world. It’s a novel that makes me a child again in my admiration and my fascination. It’s a novel that makes me commit myself 100% to it, no questions asked.

Hey, we’re talking ideal here, aren’t we? :)

14. What time do you usually go to bed?
Sometime between midnight and 2 am. Usually closer to 2 am than midnight.

15. What’s the meaning behind your LJ username/name/nicknames you go by?
Kalafudra is a family in-joke, actually. She’s a little witch my grandfather invented (possibily, she’s even older than that), with incredibly messy hair. I don’t know why I chose it as my nick for my first tries on the internet, but it kind of stuck. Now, I like it too much to let it go. Plus, it’s all mine. Nobody else has it. And that’s good to know.
