Leave me a comment saying "rainbow"
I'll respond by asking you five (5) questions so i can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

Questions from [info]bend_dontbreak

01. Where is one place you've always wanted to visit and why?
Chicago. I don't really know why; I've just seen it in a lot of films and tv programmes and it looks amazing. The architecture looks fantastic, and I have a list of places I want to visit. I will get there one day!

02. What's the best concert you've been to and why?
Tough one. As I'm on a Foo Fighters kick at the moment, I'd probably have to say the secret gig they did at Underworld in Camden in 2006, which I raved about here . I never thought I'd be at a Foo's concert where I'd actually be able to make eye contact with them. This year, the best concert has to have been New Kids at Hammersmith in January.

03. What do you find to be the most attractive feature of the opposite sex?
Their smile. I have several celeb crushes who come across as quiet/moody/miserable, but when they smile, their faces light up. You can't fake a real smile.

04. What's one gift you wanted for Christmas as a kid but never got?
Nothing really, although I remember getting a Kylie Minogue cassette (must have been in 1989) when really I wanted New Kids on the Block.

05. If you could meet one celebrity who would it be? And what would you ask him/her?
I'd love to meet Bono, although I'm not really sure what I'd ask him. I'd love to spend an evening with him asking him about his music, his politics, his influences, his passions. I think he'd have a lot of great stories to tell.

Day 08 → A photo that makes you angry/sad



I took this photo of my Grandad and step-nan about 4 years ago. Grandad is the only one of my grandparents I've ever really known, as both of my Dad's parents and my Mum's mother all died when I was quite young.
About 2 years ago, Grandad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He's not able to take the medication available to slow the effects of the condition, due to medication he has to take for his heart, so he's deteriorating rapidly. He doesn't really know who anyone is anymore, and is slowly disappearing into a world of his own.

Day 07 → A photo that makes you happy



My friend Chloe (left) and me - actually quite a good self-taken photo, taken on the Tube on the way back to our hotel after seeing Feeder at The Coronet in London in November 2006. We were on a complete gig-high after braving it down the front and getting half crushed to death, and meeting up with our friends from around the country (and abroad) who we only see at gigs. Good times.

Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy

I had an 'interesting' dream about Chris Shifflet from Foo Fighters last night (I won't elaborate, use your imaginations), so here's something from one of his other bands, Jackson United.

Breathe deeper than that now
Let the ocean air fill your lungs
Smell the flowers in the back yard
Don't worry about getting stung


He tweets as well! http://twitter.com/ChrisShiflett71

And here he is turning on his bandmate on MTV, and Dave Grohl dancing to A-ha. As you do.

Day 05 - Your favourite quote

So many I could chose but I'm in a rush as it's my sister's birthday, so I'll just leave you this one.

Press: "How did you find America?"
John Lennon: "Turn left at Greenland."

Day 04 → Your favorite book

Not so much my favourite book, but the book that got me back into reading in a big way a couple of years ago, and how I discovered Jodi Picoult who is now my favourite author. Her books almost always involve some sort of moral dilemma and she's not shy of tackling the 'big issues'; her books always get me thinking and wondering what I would do in those situations.

I haven't seen the film yet; the ending was changed which Jodi Picoult wasn't happy about and rightly so. I'll rent it but I wasn't paying to see it at the cinema.

Sara Fitzgerald's daughter Kate is just two years old when she is diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia. Reeling with the helpless shock of it, Sara knows she will do anything -- whatever it takes - to save her child. Then the tests results come back time and again to show that no one in their family is a match for Kate. If they are to find a donor for the crucial bone marrow transplant she needs, there is only one option: creating another baby, specifically designed to save her sister. For Sara, it seems the ideal solution. Not only does Kate live, but she gets a beautiful new daughter, Anna, too. Until the moment Anna hands Sara the papers that will rock her whole world. Because, aged thirteen, Anna has decided that she doesn't want to help Kate live any more. She is suing her parents for the rights to her own body.

Day 03 - Your favourite television programme

I know this one will come as no surprise to [info]vanillabean! 15 series of ER and I loved every one. Several times over the last couple of weeks I've been so close to clicking 'Add to basket' on the complete DVD boxset on Amazon!
Picking one clip was difficult, but this one makes me cry everytime and I never cry; Carter reads a letter from Mark Greene to the rest of the ER staff that he wrote shortly before passing away.

I ordered a new phone yesterday, as the buttons on mine are all cracked after only a year (not impressed Nokia). So I now have a Nokia 5310 Xpressmusic, and broken fingernails from trying to get the SIM card in.

I also got a Nintendo DS free! Only I don't have any games for it yet, can anyone recommend any good ones? I do want some puzzle games ([info]nicers - prob going to order Big Brain Academy from Amazon) as my brain is going to mush, but I also want some fun games! Suggestions anyone?

Day 2 - Your favourite movie (film)

Help!
Again, difficult to pick just one, but this film is just so funny. I know the script inside out, upside down and back to front. Despite the fact that they didn't want to do it, didn't like the final cut of the film and it wasn't generally well received, I think it's genius. It's what really got me into The Beatles in a big way after watching it at my uncle's house.


Heat
I guess this is supposed to be a bit of a 'guy' film, but I remember seeing this at the cinema and loving it, and still do. Pacino and De Niro on screen together for the first time. Oh yes. Righteous Kill was good but it was never going to match this (sorry DDub).
