Your Time Starts NOW: My earliest memory is...
Looking out of the car window, or rather craning my neck to see the bell tower of a church we drove past on our way into Luzern where my family moved in 1973. At school I... didn't talk for the first year after arriving in Australia in 1978. I was such a perfectionist even back then, I didn't want to speak English until I knew I could do it fluently. As a result I was selectively mute for quite some time 
I don't like talking about... my feelings. I wish I'd never worn... that white tartan swimsuit. Not only was it see-through, but the tan marks were a most inexplicably bizarre pattern on my bum. My mother always told me... not to swallow my chewing gum because it would get stuck on the inside of my bottom. She also told me never to play my Prince tapes to my visiting friends (the neighbours kids had been singing "Sex Shooter") I wish I had... been faster on the buzzer 
I wish I hadn't... been so irritable with people when I was hungry. My most humiliating moment was... when I went to reach for my dad's hand in the supermarket and it wasn't my dad. At home I cook... only because I have to. My last meal would be... an Indian banquet 
When I was a child I wanted to... fly to the stars with Captain Apollo and Lieutenant Starbuck (well, some things never change!) The book that changed my life was... "Where did I come from?" It's not fashionable, but I love... wearing socks with my reef sandals. Friends say I am... not as quiet and shy as I seem at first, in fact some have been shocked to hear me described that way. What I don't find amusing is... people bickering in front of other people and expecting them to take sides. I'm always being asked to... use my skills for free. How am I supposed to make a living!? 
If I wasn't me I'd like to be... someone very similar. If I were a car I'd be... Toyota T-18 | |

My earliest memory is...
Something green. A carpet, I think. At school I... I'm still in school. I'm 27 now. I don't like talking about... The years during my puberty when I was so obsessed about Michael Jackson that I tried to emulate his appearance to a degree. It wasn't that uncommon during those days because he was such a big star bach then, but my idolation went overboard. It's still traumatic to speak about it. I wish I'd never worn... I wore some pretty stupid shit in my 90s, the problem is I still probably looked more stylish then any of the other kids where I lived. My mother always told me... that you will just instantly know when you'll meet the "right one".
I wish I had... talked to the girl on the bus. I wish I hadn't... dropped out my studies in martial arts. I was doing very good. My most humiliating moment was... one of my early gigs playing electronic folk music. It wasn't working at all. At home I cook... about twice or three times a week. My last meal would be... ... I don't know, it was some veggie stew. When I was a child I wanted to... be accepted. The book that changed my life was... Immanuel Kant's "Critique Of Judgement". It's not fashionable, but I love... staying home on friday nights. Friends say I am... the weirdest person they know. What I don't find amusing is... the capitalist exploitation of people's self-esteems. I'm always being asked to... use my skills for free. How am I am I supposed to make a living? <- ditto. 
If I wasn't me I'd like to be... anyone else, just as long as I wouldn't have to be me. If I were a car I'd be... something very colourful, but cheap and used. I love talking about myself. | |

The Celestine Prophecy - James Redfield It's not fashionable, but I love... I wear quite a lot that's not fashionable lol Friends say I am... oh gawd I'd hate to think what my friends think of me sometimes 
What I don't find amusing is... sarcasm I'm always being asked to... stop saying sorry  
If I wasn't me I'd like to be... I "plead the fifth" on that If I were a car I'd be... a mini | |

My earliest memory is...
riding home from my babysitter's house one evening in my dad's old truck At school I... I'm still in college. I don't like talking about... not going to admit that here, am i?
I wish I'd never worn... lots. that hideous white dress when i was 13 comes to mind, though 
My mother always told me... umm...to study more? 
I wish I had... enough money for a different living situation I wish I hadn't... done lots of really stupid things My most humiliating moment was... fainting in mass once and knocking over a holy water font on my way down.
At home I cook... sporadically My last meal would be... rice and spicy chicken When I was a child I wanted to... be an egyptologist The book that changed my life was... i don't think a book's changed ever really changed my life, but there's been several that mean the world to me It's not fashionable, but I love... i wouldn't really consider myself fashionable
Friends say I am... i wouldn't want to ask them! What I don't find amusing is... idiots. I'm always being asked to... speak up, usually. If I wasn't me I'd like to be... someone extroverted? If I were a car I'd be... | |

My earliest memory is...
Needing stitches on my head when I was 2. I was playing with cousins in my aunt and uncle's basement and was climbing on the back of a couch and fell and hit my head. I remember my oldest cousin carrying me upstairs, I remember my aunt's lavendar bathroom as my mom and aunt held me up over the sink to wash my head out, I remember laying on the table about to get the stitches in the hospital asking for my mom when I was crying and my aunt saying she had to go to the bathroom and being so mad and confsed that my mom would choose that time to go potty. I asked my mom about it years later and she said she simply couldn't take seeing me there crying and in pain and so, so scared. At school I... Was quiet and shy. I don't like talking about... my downfalls, my problems. I can't take criticism well and I know I'm hardest on myself and I find it hard to discuss with anyone. I wish I'd never worn... oh, I'm sure there's a lot, but I happen to love all my goofy phases.
My mother always told me... to marry for money. Beauty fades and love dies, she said.
I wish I had... more ambition. I drift through life, taking opportunities as they come to me, but I lack a certain drive for anythign 'big'. I wish I hadn't... ... the big mistakes of my life are much too personal. My most humiliating moment was... I've had a few, but the one foremost ni my mind was walking into an office for an interview and realizing 10 minutes too late that the dress I was wearing was unzipped down past my bra. I was totally flashing the guy. I never went back.
At home I cook... very infrequently. Cooking to me is making from scratch. I'm better at throwing partly prepared things together. My last meal would be... oh, depends on my mood that day, I guess, but it would end with some rich, decadent chocolate dessert. When I was a child I wanted to... be pretty. The book that changed my life was... I can't say any book changed my life. Maybe all of them. It's not fashionable, but I love... eveything I love is fashionable.  Nah, I just think if I like something, there will be something fashionable about it. It's just my way.
Friends say I am... fun? I don't know. You'd have to ask them. And I guess I don't really ever ask. What I don't find amusing is... rudeness, vulgar language in front of children, being mean just for the sake of it, fat jokes, or really any jokes based on one's appearance. I'm always being asked to... ummm... I'm rarely asked for anything. I suppose I'm the go-to person at work for several things, but those are my job, so I don't know if that would really interest anyone.
If I wasn't me I'd like to be... tall.
If I were a car I'd be... oh hell, I don't know anything about cars. |

Your Time Starts NOW:
My earliest memory is... when I was 18 months walking unsteadily over to my Granny to offer her one of my smarties. At school I... was very intelligent and diligent until I reached 3rd year (15 yrs old) when I discovered boys, alcohol and makeup 
I don't like talking about... my feelings I wish I'd never worn... them coloured silky tracksuits that were out in the 80s.....everyone in my neighbourhood wore them to all the street parties Summer 1987....what were we thinking!!! My mother always told me... freckles are a sign of beauty I wish I had... more money I wish I hadn't... dumped my ex-boyfriend
My most humiliating moment was... don't wanna say, it's too embarrasing
At home I cook... only when I've been guilted into it by eating too many take aways My last meal would be... one of my Ma's homecooked dinner's.....can't beat them!! When I was a child I wanted to... be beautiful The book that changed my life was... (as a child) 'Anne of Green Gables' (as an adult) ...havn't found one yet It's not fashionable, but I love... my big knitted green cardie.....it ain't cute but it's comfy 
Friends say I am... complex, genuine and funny What I don't find amusing is... people who mask their insecurities by purposely putting other people down to give themselves a boost I'm always being asked to... give advice, I'm good listener and problem solver aparantly If I wasn't me I'd like to be... someone very like me 
If I were a car I'd be... Subaru Impreza STi (but not with the gold alloys) All of me I give 2 thee down at your feet
The reassurance in your rhythm speaks 2 me | |

My earliest memory is...
crawling on the wooden floor in Thailand. I was maybe 2 years old? At school I... was very popular in 2 and 3rd grade. I then became a geek/nerd until the 101th grade. I don't like talking about... My partners I wish I'd never worn... spandex running pants My mother always told me... Oy. Daniel, shut up! I wish I had... hug sum of money I wish I hadn't... severed so many friendships over the years. My most humiliating moment was... Probably when I got my ass kicked between 5th and 6th period in high school. I was in the 9th grade. At home I cook... mostly Thai food. My last meal would be... Thai curry fish--but I got it from a restaurant. When I was a child I wanted to... live in Orlando Florida The book that changed my life was... The Teaching of Buddha - out of print book my dad owned It's not fashionable, but I love... erm. Levi's jeans? I know they're very fashionable in certain parts of the world though. But here in America, people rave about other "more high brow" brands. But I've never found other jean companies to make jeans as sex as the Levi's premium brands. Well, other than Hollister which design their jeans to make your ass look better.
Also, the Fauxhawk 2002-2004 look. But I love it. It's not "out of fashion" persay, but the current long hair trends nauseate me even though I rockec it last year, so even if it were I wouldn't care.
Friends say I am... weird, sweet, smart, kind, and selfish depending on the friend. What I don't find amusing is... violence I'm always being asked to... be less private about my feelings
If I wasn't me I'd like to be... If you're referring to an orger, than Abierman. If in general, then any rich person through inheritance will do. If I were a car I'd be... Bugatti Veyron | |

My earliest memory is...
Not sure. One of them is an annoying Montessori teacher who wouldn't let me choose the order in which I played their moronic educational games. I was three and already stubborn.
At school I... Enjoyed the first six years a lot, both in terms of friends and the education itself. After that I thought people became annoying (puberty ) and some subjects became less and less interesting while others became more interesting.
I don't like talking about... what I thought of a movie right after I finish watching it. Everybody turns into a bloody hobby critic as they're exiting the theatre, but I think it has to sink in first. Especially if it was good. I wish I'd never worn... a pink suit for a wedding when I was maybe 8 years old.
My mother always told me... to not be my own worst enemy. I still know that she's right, but I still find it difficult to obey her advice. I wish I had... enjoyed being reckless in my teens. I was never that interested in it back then, nor have I ever been since then, but somehow I still feel like I need to get it out of my system. It's weird. I wish I hadn't... seen some of the horrible things I've seen on the internet. My most humiliating moment was... when I'd been invited to participate in an "expert film critic panel" on a seminar held by Stockholm Film Festival. When we were introduced, they did a brief summary of our CV, and it became so clear that my career had started out nicely and then kept going downhill until the last CV entry which was a real low point, that some people in the audience even started to laugh.
At home I cook... sometimes. I can't say I enjoy it. My last meal would be... I would never want to choose my last meal. When I was a child I wanted to... be a successful storyteller. I'm working on the "successful" part. The book that changed my life was... No book has ever changed my life, but even though I'm not a comic book fan at all, I found The Dark Knight Returns incredibly inspiring on many many levels. It's not fashionable, but I love... loose comfy pants. Friends say I am... a good person. That's the best compliment I could ever get. What I don't find amusing is... when people laugh at other people's suffering. I'm always being asked to... figure out what I should do next. As if I didn't ask myself that every day.
If I wasn't me I'd like to be...
If I were a car I'd be... Something with four wheel drive and a broken steering wheel. | |

My earliest memory is...
I dunno. I have a hard time remembering my childhood. I can remember when my first pet died. I think I was around 4 or 5. Poor Pexsie. At school I... Hated it. Not the socializing part but the having to follow the rules and actually do work part. I was the girl who pretty much got along with all the cliques. From the so called geeks to the jocks. I don't like talking about... I can talk about just anything to people I feel comfortable with. I wish I'd never worn... Neon, in the late 80s. My mother always told me... That I was just like my dad.
I wish I had... Gone to university years ago. I wish I hadn't... been so silly with my money in my 20s. My most humiliating moment was... Oh man, work related. Somehow a personal email of mine made it's way to the printer at my work's OTHER office and then my bosses desk.
At home I cook... Food. My last meal would be... Indian. When I was a child I wanted to... Be a vet. The book that changed my life was... I dunno if it changed my life but The Bluest Eye had a big impact on me. It's not fashionable, but I love...  I dunno. Lacey 80s gloves maybe.
Friends say I am... A goof. What I don't find amusing is... I can find humour in just about everything, but things that have to do with making fun of small children bother me. I'm always being asked to... Have a threesome...I've even had couples I didn't know approach me about it. What's up with that? If I wasn't me I'd like to be... I dunno. I'm ok with being me...even after shitty nights like last night.
If I were a car I'd be... Something fast and shiny. Cheese! | |

My earliest memory is...
I remember being about 3 and my father holding me in one arm, running to the bathroom, and me throwing up in his other hand. Kind of a nice metaphoric memory of him, considering there were so many bad ones. The earliest memory I have of me involves him taking care of me. 
At school I... School was incredibly easy for me, I would do just enough to pass and spend the rest of the time clowning around. I don't like talking about... my innermost feelings I wish I'd never worn... cheap cotton. My mother always told me... make right decisions I wish I had... made better decisions
I wish I hadn't... I don't regret anything My most humiliating moment was... ugh, realizing the shit my wife did At home I cook... better than you My last meal would be... a bullet When I was a child I wanted to... take over the world The book that changed my life was... no book has ever changed my life
It's not fashionable, but I love... chicks with pierced nipples! 
Friends say I am... an idiot What I don't find amusing is... people that do shit JUST for attention. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for being an attention whore, but sometimes an act gets old. I'm always being asked to... call people. If I wasn't me I'd like to be... I love being me. But Derek Jeter's life would be above average I'm guessing..... If I were a car I'd be... the family truckster from National Lampoons Vacation. | |

Have a threesome...I've even had couples I didn't know approach me about it. What's up with that? I've been asked by strangers too, mostly shitbags. They ask strangers, especially if they are dressed up stereotypically in a sexual way, so that they wouldn't have to have sex with a real personality. Threesomes are all about eradicating the responsibility of having to face with a real person in the most intimite form of physical contact. There is no real direct responsibility of the other person in such a scenario, because there are two others present. | |

I think it's funny. It's always the woman that comes and makes contact first. I remember the last time it happened some woman came up and sat down beside me and said, "I just love your shoes". I was like, "Oh God...here we go." | |

My earliest memory is...
attempting to escape from my day care center when i was 5. At school I... kept to myself a lot. I don't like talking about... a lot of things. I wish I'd never worn... there really isn't anything i regret wearing. My mother always told me... nothing, as she never lived long enough to see me get to an age where she could give me advice. all the advice i've gotten is either from my friends or my dad. I wish I had... ? I wish I hadn't... ? My most humiliating moment was... none. At home I cook... nothing. sucks, because i can't afford the stuff i wanna use My last meal would be... authentic gumbo When I was a child I wanted to... become a cartoonist.

It's not fashionable, but I love... i couldn't care less whether or not something i like is fashionable or not. i'm not a barbie doll. Friends say I am... dunno. i'm not quite sure, as nobody's ever really taken the time and sat down to tell me before. What I don't find amusing is... ignorance I'm always being asked to... go to art school. If I wasn't me I'd like to be... nobody else. If I were a car I'd be... a nash rambler. | |
