They kicked me out on the basis that I wasn't a lesbian. I'm in talks with my lawyers. I love living where the wild things are thoughKnifeWRENCH wrote: »Ooh I'm first in!
Are you nervous about having to follow Davidius' awesome playpen thread?
I actually was nervous when I saw how funny his thread was...I'm not that funny so don't be expecting much!
What first brought you to boards and what first brought you C&H?
Well I first came across it while I was looking for this song
It was on an RTÉ ad and it was really hard to find because she's singing backwards...I typed something into google and bang there was boards. I didn't join until last september though when the guy* who was leading me around college on my orientation day mentioned it briefly...how did I find C&H? Pure chance. I think I clicked into it by accident, liked what I read and the rest as they say is history.
Sceptre by the way, a mod and admin if you don't mind!
Favourite Arcade Fire song?
There have been many, Neighborhood #3(power out), wake up and in the backseat have all been favourites respectfully but for the longest time my favourite Arcade Fire song has been Black Wave/Bad Vibrations
If you had a pet panda, what would you name it? Would it be a boy panda or a girl panda?
If I had a pet panda it would be a boy and I would name it Henry, I'd also buy him a monocle for the craic. He'd be terribly agreeable.
Why are you no longer at the dinner for local lesbians?
!My generic questions:
- Your favourite meaning of \o/?vagina, yup!
- Do you like to dance? If not, whyever not? I love dancing. I even dance along with Ellen when she get's her groove on on tv3 (I do realise how tragic that is but I've come to terms with my sadness at this stage) It's scary when I think about how much I dance actually...nothing makes me quite as happy though as dancing!
- What irritates you most about society, and what do you like most about it? Indifference and ignorence. They are the two things that really irritate me about our society. People like Adi Roche are what I love about society. People who give their lives to helping others.
Others:
- Have you a huge fondness for ice-cream now that your tonsils are gone? You know what? Not really! I'm actually less fond of it now then before I got my toncils out. God works in cruel ways I suppose
- What piece of your own artwork are you proudest of? There's one piece in my portfolio that I did by sticking on eggshells to a piece of paper and then painting over them to get the same effect as the bottom of my pheasant's claw. It took me like three days solid graft but when people see it their always really impressed. Which makes me happy. So it's my favourite.
- Are you a fan of any artists, and if so, who would be your favourite(s)? I love Daniel Danger, Jack B. Yeats and Harry Clarke among many many others...their probably my favourites though.
- Favourite way to spend a weekend?With my friends, drinkin', shmokin' and fightin'
- Simple things that make you happy?
You know those bits in movies where somebody just roams around....ok that's the worst description ever. Ok an example: In Amélie when she goes into the Grocers apartment and ****s up all his belongings, or in Breakfast at Tiffany's when they go into the five and dime and attempt to steal stuff and even in the James Bond movies when Sean Connery roams around the room looking for things that show that people are spying on him. I LOVE those bits in movies. I could watch them over and over again. I also like the smell of petrol and when I'm the reciever of a random act of kindness. So many other little things but I won't bore you
Thank you degausserxo for the intro...twas great! *hug*

Fave type of cheese?!! Chedder, to the distress of my father, he's a bit of a cheese connoisseur and is always trying to get me to try new ones.

Runners! I'd love to know where the word tackies came from though as it seems to be only a Limerick thing?!Neon-Circles wrote: »Tackies, runners or trainers?seriousfizz wrote: »Do you like to paint? Yes, indeed I do!
If so, which do you prefer, acrylic or oil paints? I prefer acrylic for now, I've heard this changes though the more you use oil, easier to get subtle colours from it apparently!flyswatter wrote: »Favourite Panda Bear song? Comfy in Naurica, I just
it!!Ok, so I just made some delicious spaghetti bolognese. The bolognese part is pretty much betond perfection, it has to be said. And let's be fair, that's the hardest part of the whole dish. So, my question is this, why the hell did the spaghetti turn out like crap?!
You spent so long making the bolognese that the spaghetti got jealous and ended up so furious that it was like "**** you Jay P, I'm going to turn out rotten just to spite you:mad:"
Also, are you from Nenagh? o_O Why yes I am! You obviously know people from here? who?!:)

Best compliment you've ever received?
5 things you like about yourself?
Languages you'd love to learn to speak?
Any fears/phobias?
Any interest in politics?
Are you ticklish?

Do you dream in colour?0 -
New London Routemasters: Like or hate?
I had to look that up actually....hadn't a clue what you were talking about! I'm going to have to improve on the 'ould current affairs! But now that I have looked it up it seems a bit silly. Surely that money could have gone to something more worthwhile in the current climate?
Strangest place you've ever slept? Bathroom floor after a night out:o
Furthest you've ever travelled?Malta!
Greatest achievement?Dropping out of college. I didn't think my parents would be ok with it(in hindsight I completely underestimated them) and plucking up the courage to leave all my friends behind. It's something I'm pretty proud of.
How're you getting on? I'm good thanks for asking! Hungry but good.:)
Tea: no or yes, if yes, how? No....and it's something I'd like to like but I just don't.
Scariest thing you've ever done? First time I jumped a barrel(on a pony) when I was a kid. I was ****ting it but I wouldn't let anyone know I was scared because I wanted to seem cool and stuff:rolleyes: I'm sure they saw right through me. I was shaking like a leaf.
Any fears? Scary clowns who try and tempt people down gutters with balloons, scream masks.
Most embarrassing childhood phase you went though? :P I used to pretend to be a dinosaur. I got drunk one night and told my friends this. They are still waiting for me to do it for them but they'll have to get me in a fairly bad way before I do my Velociraptor impression:oI used to pretend to be an Olympic Gymnast aswell and walk around the house in a leotard with plastic gold medals around my neck....I wish I was joking.
Have you ever been camping?Oxegen for two years...last year was pretty miserable. I was sitting in a friends tent when I saw our own one blow away:rolleyes:
Least forgettable experience you've ever had?One night two summers ago me and a bunch of friends drove up a mountain. That's the bones of the story but it was the most unforgettable night of my life.
Favourite city ever?Valletta in Malta. When I'm rich and famous I'm going to buy an apartment there. It's beautiful.
What're your opinions on the US and it's foreign policy?Um....? I really havn't got any. I used to but those opinions are totally out of date. I should really start reading the paper more often....Do you believe in karma? A higher power? Fate?
I do. I definitely believe in God. Whether that God is Christian, Islamic, Hindu etc. is another story. Sometimes I believe in fate, sometimes I don't but I believe in Karma. What goes around comes around.

Do you think someone can learn to draw?Definitely. It's not that hard and there are all sorts of tricks you can do to draw properly.
Favourite pair of shoes?My converce. They need a wash though.
What do you want to study in art college? Like, what area of art?I'm not sure yet! I'm hoping that I'll take to graphics because that's the area it's easiest to get a job in. I don't really know though. I have a year to make up my mind.:)MavisDavis wrote: »Hello Arcade Panda, I don't believe we've spoken much, but I'm going to quiz you anyway. I don't think anyone here has really spoken to me much apart from a very small number so ask away!:p
Do you like tea? If not, are you a crazy person?I don't like tea at all. And yes sometimes I think I may be losing my mind:D
Do you prefer the dance to la macarena or Saturday night? I don't really mind what I dance to...I have danced to la macarena on a Saturday night though. I think the best way to approach it is when your horribly HORRIBLY drunk:cool:
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Wyoming in America. I've always wanted to go there.
Do you like to travel? I love traveling! I'm a real tourist when I travel aswell....I love going to mueseums and stuff:o
What's your favourite tv show? Sopranos, Only Fools and Horses, The Good Wife and Glee
Decade of the 20th century you'd most like to visit?The 70's:cool:
Probably because I always defend it.soccymonster wrote: »God, Arcade panda's are now my favourite breed of pandas! Aw shuks, thanks!
Opinion on fair city? Do you really think the world will end in 2012?
And why did I think you were from limerick?
What's your favourite Studio Ghibli film?Whisper of the Heart fo'sho'!
Were you disappointed by any of the Studio Ghibli films? Not one. Seriously. Then again I havn't watched any of the films that had nothing to do with Hayao Miyazaki...I heard that 'Tales from Earthsea' is crap!
Do you watch or have you watched any other anime?Pokémon and Sailor Moon. I watched 'The girl who lept through time' aswell, that's actually a great movie!
When did you first discover your artistic talent? You know, that moment when you were like "Hang on, I'm actually pretty damn good at this!"?My mam said I was always really neurotic about drawing and stuff when I was a small child, I used to throw a tantrum if my pencil went outside the line. I used to win a lot of competitions aswell. Other kids in my class would always say it to me but it only became really apparent when I went into secondary school.
What have you been doing with yourself since you dropped out?I visited a lot of my friends in college:pI worked in a deli up until a month before my interview but I had to give it up because it was taking up way too much time. And then it was just portfolio portfolio portfolio. 24/7 trying to get it done on time before my interview. I still wasn't finished when it came to it but I'd say they could see how much effort I put in.A Neurotic wrote: »Where are you going to go be artsy come September? LIT? NCAD?LIT! I only applied for one college. By the time I dropped out of college I knew I wouldn't have enough time to complete the brief for NCAD so I just applied for Limerick. The brief for NCAD was due in February and there wasn't a hope in hell I'd get it done. (It's announced in May the Summer before hand)

5 things you like about yourself?My hair(which is kind of funny because I would not have said that ten years ago!), my personality, the fact that I'm good enough at art to get into art college, I find it incredibly easy to get on with people and um.....I think I'm a little courageous.
Languages you'd love to learn to speak?Italian. I'm really jealous of my oldest sister, she picks up languages at the drop of a hat. She's fluent in French and Spanish, totally fluent. She even has a French boyfriend! I'm crap at languages but I'd love to learn the romantic ones. I'd also love to learn a little Japanese. Their way of writing is incredibly interesting and steeped in history.

I found it really easy. That was my favourite part of paper 2, they were the only questions I could always get to the (c) part with. I hated probability. I just never got it. The rest was ok. Straight algebra was fairly easy. Differentiation and Integration was a bitch.
Tea or coffee? Neither. Orange juice please.
What browser do you use?Mozilla
Favourite artist? Err... you know, visual artist; not musicianDaniel Danger, Jack B. Yeats, Harry Clarke.
Favourite err... other kind of artist? :P Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon, Frightened Rabbit and m83:cool:

That's probably the most quiet, serene situation anyone will ever be in. <3z it also .
ehm... hello =] Hi there!:)
whats your idea of a perfect day? Most of my 'best days' seem to happen when my parents are out of the country. My parents arn't monsters.....that's just the way it is! All my friends would have to be there. Probably be some kind of summer drinking session in my house. Lots of cider and sun. BBQ. Probably a road trip down to the lake. Guitars and singsongs. Talking into the night. Then a drive up to the graves of the leinster men to watch the sun come up and breakfast in Larkin's.Can you hurry love? You just have to wait....Love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take:p
Orange juice or apple juice? Orange juice..I love the shtuff.
Spuds or potatoes?Potatoes.
Flem or phlegm? flem...no phlegm....no flem.....*head explodes*
Fire or flame? Fire.
Indigo or violet? Indigo.
UV or IR? UV....associated with summer! It's always on sunglasses!:cool:
Explosions or implosions?Explosions!
When did you start smoking? When I was 16, I'm pretty sure I started to fit in or something....doesn't take long to start really enjoying it though.
Favourite cereal?Weetabix
What was your childhood dream for the future?We'd all turn into Dinosaurs and live happily ever after.
Strangest country you've travelled to? I've been to Portugal, Spain and Malta...I don't think any of them are really that strange!
Most controversial opinion? I don't have a problem with fox-hunting! *shields herself from the stones*RandomUserName! wrote: »Going out or staying in? Going out!
Favourite offline form of procrastination? Reading...I go through a scary amount of books when I'm supposed to be studying. I thank god every day that I didn't discover C&H until after my leaving...that would have been a disaster!!

Drunk posting, yay or nay? *
*This post may have been written whilst under the influence..
It should be done more often in my humble opinionFavourite things to draw/paint? I don't really have a favourite thing to draw. When I was younger I was obsessed with drawing faces, kinda bored with that now. My art teacher in LIT told us to draw things that we are afraid of drawing. Things that are really difficult, like flowing water. It's really hard. But when your doing something difficult like that you come across all these new techniques, so even if you never master drawing flowing water you'll be able to apply what you learnt to something else.You develop a style that way. Like this guy...
I just think he has the coolest technique!:D
What's your source of inspiration? Other artists. Music. I carry a sketchbook with me almost everywhere now, I don't whip it out every time I see something interesting(unless it really catches my eye) because I'd be too embarrassed and I don't want to look like a pretentious gob****e. But I do write ideas into it and work at them in private. I really really need a camera! Any donations would be very welcome indeed!!
Favourite M83 album? It's a tie between 'Before the Dawn Heals Us' and 'Saturdays=Youth'. I love Dead Cities though, it's a real 'ok I want to go to sleep now' album...they're just such an amazing band! I hate this whole 'Panda isn't aloud to ask questions back'...I love having conversations about music:p!

Most beautiful song ever?
I couldn't just give you one....here's a tiny list of the most beautiful songs(that I cant think of):
Martha - Tom Waits
The Mission - Ennio Moricone
Two - The Antlers
Clair de Lune - Debussy
Most beautiful thing ever? To know that you are loved.KnifeWRENCH wrote: »WOO! I love that song too! You've just earned 5 extra cool points. Use them wisely.
If boards disappeared in the morning, how would you react? In a strange way I'd feel like I'd lost a friend. That might be sad or whatever but honestly it's the truth. I think C&H is a real little community, it has a bit of soul.
