Interview with a banana

I love interviews, but usually I’m the one who gives them. So this was a great surprise from neiradodhmiourgies who tagged me. It’s not a real tête-à-tête, but hey, better than nothing!

Here it goes:

What are you wearing today? A breezy dress I got from my favorite Indian store in pink shades and turquoise.
What’s for dinner? Good question.
If you weren’t a human being, what would you like to be? The verb “to write”.
What’s the last thing you bought? On Etsy: Matouenpeluche’s awesome drawings; outside of Etsy, some colorful sandals.
What are you listening to right now? The sound of the fan whirring and street noises. I needed a dose of silence and this is as close as it gets.
If you were a flower you would be…a pink rose, in all its triteness.
What is your favorite ice-cream flavour? Just one?!
What do you think of the person who tagged you? She’s a fairy at heart, and I hope I get to meet her soon!
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be? I would have to say rural France — I dream of an old cottage in the French countryside.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? To Philly to surprise Gisela. She’d F-R-E-A-K!
Which language do you want to learn? Spanish, if I ever find a goddamn tutor!
What’s your favorite quote (for now)? Dreaming is believing.
What is your favorite colour? I love all colors but pastel shades of pink and plum are yummy.
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe? An aquamarine 20s inspired dress with lace.
What is your dream job? To own an agrotourist hotel at a village somewhere and write in my free time.
If you could invent any useful invention, what would it be? Something to allow teleporting — it would save everyone so much money!
If you had £100 (165$) now, what would you spend it on? Enjoying my upcoming holidays to Berlin and Paris even more!
Do you admire any one’s style? No one specifically, but I’m inspired by some.
Describe your personal style? Shabby chic.
What are you going to do after this? Seriously getting away from my computer!
What are your favourite movies? Too many to list here. I’m a big fan of drama. Oh yeah.
What’s your favorite fruit? Plums, nectarines, strawberries, all kinds of berries in fact…
What inspires you? Books, conversations, people, nature, writing.
Your favorite book? I love entirely too many, but two of my recent top faves were Ali Smith’s “Hotel World” and Markus Zusak’s “The Book Thief”.
Do you collect something? Stickers, stationery sets, books, kinder surprise figurines (this was something my boyfriend started, actually).
Are you a home body or do you prefer to be out? A little bit of both, just to keep the balance.
Do you have any pets? If it were up to me, I’d have a zoo here.
Are you a country girl or City Vamp? Country girl to the bone. That City Vamp allure has lost its charm.
Tell us the story of your nickname. Originally inspired by Banana Yoshimoto. I read her book “Kitchen” and kept thinking how cool it is that her first name is Banana. Me, I’m just plain bananas. And the nickname was born!
