any good song suggestions? personal favourites, and why?

I've been listening to a lot of fanvideos recently, but those aside I have two song suggestions;

The Irrepressible 'Two men in love' - I feel like since I moved to Hong Kong, I've been forced to display or be open about my sexuality so much more than back home, where being heterosexual most certainly isn't a given, 'normal' or assumed. This song came into my life at a time that makes it all the more pertinent and powerful.

Royal Deluxe 'I'm a wanted man' - it just gets me in the right mood for rugby. It's one of those songs you smack up to full volume and dance along the streets to.

how do you prefer your milo? (hot, cold? milo or milk first? or just plain milo by itself?)

Hot, milo first, with milk! We call it malt here. C:

To anyone,
Do you listen to classical music? If so, then what is your favorite piece?

My favourite piece is Bach's prelude in C major.

What languages did you guys learn before/ want to learn?

I took 3 years of French and learnt some Swedish in my own time. I haven't worked on either in a long time, but I'd love to pick Swedish back up again some day!

To staffers:

Are you one who loves or hates speaking in front of a large crowd? If you want to, you could explain your reason, I'm curious

Neither, honestly! I'm fine with it and by no means hate it, but unless it's something I'm very passionate or interested in I wouldn't jump at the chance or anything. Back and forth discourse is a bit more interesting to me.

to ;; anyone, really.

any good song suggestions? personal favorites, and why?

Anything by EDEN/The Eden Project. I love his stuff to death! It's definitely not for everyone though haha

Music takes in a very important part of my life. I can't live a single day without music.
I will list only a few songs, but the reason I love these is the same; it's the feeling they give. It might sound weird but I choose my favourite songs after the feeling they give me, if the lyrics are great too it's even better.
They have this; "late summer midnight happiness" feeling and to me that is one of the best feelings in the world.
Stars - Dead Hearts (this song hold a very special place in my heart since years, but that is a different story c: )
Pinkzebra - We Won't Stop Dreaming
Pim Stones - We Have It All
Syd Matters - Obstacles
Echos - Haunt
The Civil Wars - Kingdom Come
SVRCINA - Island
Sam Tinnesz - Glass Heart
Oasis - Wonderwall
Lord Huron - Ghost On The Shore
Karmina - All The Kings Horses
Livingston - The Hunter
Foals - Spanish Sahara

//if you like instrumental music I can recommend pretty much everything from Two Steps From Hell (seriously, they are the gods of epic music)

//if you need a motivation boost though: Sweet - Ballroom Blitz (if this song doesn't get your spirits up I don't know)

Do any of you staffers have tattoos?

Dear any CS Member

Do you have any pets irl at the moment? Or do you plan on getting a pet irl someday?

I've got a cat named Miss Kitty, a Shetland Sheepdog named Noel, and a cockatiel named Mango. I love them all to death!

In the near future, I'd love to get a bunny. I like flop-eared brown bunnies that have specks of lighter and darker brown in their fur - I'm not sure what it's called but they almost look like wild hares. I'd also consider a white bunny but I'm not very fond of their red eyes.

When I am financially stable with my own house and own responsibilities, I'd love to own a husky, German Shepherd, golden retriever, an Australian Shepherd, and maybe even a rescue dog of some sort. And tons of cats, of course. :3c

To staffers:

It's really odd for me. I have social anxiety and I'm generally not very good at socializing, but I love giving speeches. As long as I have time to prepare what I'm going to say and I like what I'm talking about (or know enough about it), I'm fine. It doesn't really make sense to me that I am so comfortable with public speaking, yet I am a huge introvert. I think it's mainly due to the fact that in 9th grade, I had to take a public speaking course. Usually the class has 25-30 students, but there were too many students so they had to create an extra class of 7 that I was placed in. I bombed my first presentation - I had to watch any movie and give a summary of it to the class. All I can remember is sitting at the front of the room, a nervous wreck, unable to form a coherent sentence without stuttering, and not knowing what to say.

I vowed to never put myself in that situation again, so the next time I had to give a presentation, I over-prepared myself. I gave a 10 minute symposium to an AP Biology class of 9 on polar bears but I knew exactly what I was talking about and didn't use note cards. Giving a good speech gave me a lot of confidence in my abilities, and now I enjoy speaking to audiences. I perform much better if I don't know the audience - I figure I'll never see them again - and I'm a bit shaky when I have to give speeches in front of people I've interacted with in the past or will have to interact with in the future. For example, I ran for VP of my school's anime club, and we had to give speeches on the spot. Knowing that I would see these people weekly for the next few years, I felt more pressure to get it right and I came very close to messing up many times.

If you don't like public speaking, one of the best pieces of advice I can give you is to over-prepare yourself and practice your speech several times before giving it. I like making PowerPoints with key points, and then talking about each key point. Reading off of a slide is bad and everyone can tell that you're doing it. You'll be more confident in yourself and will likely do much better if you practice and know what you want to say.

To:Anyone

What's your favorite movie?

The Lion King!

to ;; anyone, really.

any good song suggestions? personal favorites, and why?

Not many people like my music taste (punk rock bands like Pierce The Veil) so my personal favorites are kind of obscure - but one of my favorite songs right now is I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers.

If you don't like the musical style of the song, there's a version by Against The Current and The Ready Set that I prefer. I really love the lyrics and they remind me of where I am in my life right now - confused and not really sure what I'm doing.

I've also really been into Should We Go Downtown by The Ready Set. Again, it's probably not for everyone, but it makes me think.

Do any of you staffers have tattoos?

I've been debating a tattoo for years. I think they look lovely, but I am very specific in my tastes, and the permanence of tattoos kind of scares me. I have very pale skin so I'm always debating on whether I want to keep it "pure" or not.

I love foxes, deer, rabbits, and wolves, so it's a hard choice on what I want. I was thinking of a brown wolf with some sort of Indian tribal headdress, with feathers and beads. I'd love to incorporate my other favorites but I have to keep everything hidden - my field of study doesn't allow us to even dye our hair, so I am doubtful that they would allow tattoos to be visible. I'm really thinking about that wolf though.
