Guilty/Not Guilty

[TallyT]

No

Do you like watching favorite films and series over and over again?

Unblushingly guilty - and studies have shown it is actually good for our mental health. Which I point out to anyone who carps at me

Do you follow actors from one film/tv show to another?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Oh good, I thought I am the only one who watches favorite films and series over and again and again, never gets tired of them and since they tend to be rather complicated or heavy, I sometimes discover even new things every time I watch, even if I already know the dialogues by heart.

Yes. Even though many of the actors I like are old, some even retired or dead so I probably already watched all their work but if I hear a favorite actor is in a new film/series, I will definitely watch.

Do you prefer watching these films or series alone?

 

[skylark]

Not guilty, I love sharing my favorites and predicting which of my kids or husband will like something. But if no one's interested or does have resistance, I much prefer watching it alone, replaying favorite lines and scenes, and consider that a "Not Guilty Pleasure"!!

Do you compulsively study the credits?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Not really guilty, I know how much I usually spend each month and when is maybe one week before payment day, I will login to see how much it will be. Only a few times when it was much more than what I had predicted, I went and studied closely all my credits historic page to see where this amount came from, and thankfully it's never been an error or theft, it was just one time expense I had forgotten I made. I usually use much more the debit than the credit function, only if it's very big amount and it benefits me more points wise and payment wise to put it in credit

Do you always travel for new year's holidays?

 

[iluvtodd]

Not guilty

Have you ever gotten food poisonng?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Yes, guilty right here in Japan

Do you have foods that no matter what you will refuse to eat?

 

[iluvtodd]

Guilty (no sauerkraut - I'll eat cabbage any other way, though. No
pork - I was raised kosher.)

Are you allergic to bees?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

I’m an extremely picky eater, but the main no for me is fish, any kind of seafood and pork/pork products. Will refuse to eat no matter what.

No, but I’m allergic to bananas.

Did you study music?

 

[skylark]

Not really guilty, I know how much I usually spend each month and when is maybe one week before payment day,

Oops! a double word meaning strikes again. We were talking about movies and tv shows, and I was asking if people study the cast listing, director, locations of filming, etc. as I and my family do,

We had our kids and a few of their friends at a movie when my son was six years old; he and all of us were watching the credits as usual ... and they were long. His friend Justin got up to leave, and my son said, "no; I want to see the rest of the credits." Justin stopped short and said, "oh. We never watch the credits." My son said, "We ALWAYS watch the credits."

No, but I’m allergic to bananas.

Did you study music?

yes, the piano for 11 years; and chorus for a couple of years.

Did you study child psychology?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Me too! Studying music was part of the ballet curriculum and I enjoy it very much

No. I am interested in criminal behaviour and forensics psychiatry, and watch documentaries on such subjects often, but nothing child specific, I don't like kids that much.

Did you grow up with cats (or any other animal)?

 

[iluvtodd]

Not guilty

BTW, we always watch the credits in the movie theater.

Do you play a musical instrument?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Yes, as part of the ballet curriculum in the ballet academy we studied music (theory and could pick an instrument too)and I played the piano. I enjoyed it so much. I can't play these days since musical instruments are not allowed in the building I live.

Do you like classical music more than pop music?

 

[iluvtodd]

Guilty, if we're talking about today's pop music. I've always liked classical music, (1960's ) "Britsh invasion," Motown, folk rock, (mostly 1970's) singer/songwriters, Broadway musicals, movie soundtracks/scores, but I'm not terribly impressed with most of what I hear on pop radio today.

Have you bought any music that your favorite skaters have skated to?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Oh yes, today’s pop music, especially from where I live, sounds like fingernails scratching a blackboard to me that’s why I bring my noise canceling devices everywhere outdoors, listening to Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Mozart, Liszt, Tchaikovsky . I don’t like musicals either and after I finish this reply I will research what motown is. Soundtracks YES, (certain orchestral /instrumental pieces only, and I’ve skated to them), and for rock and roll, I like “Kashmir” and “Starway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin, the band “YES”, and Janis Joplin.
I also love flamenco music and music from where I’m from (Jewish Yemenite music very beautiful)
I’m 37 but my music taste is from another era

I pay monthly for Spotify, so if the skater skates to anything I love , I’ll search it and add to my playlist “Figure Skating” on Spotify. If it’s an special edit, someone will surely put it on YouTube, so I get it from there.

You’re very sleepy and already relaxing in bed. Do you get up to remove contact lenses/makeup?

 

[Magill]

Guilty. I bought some Japanese music Yuzuru Hanyu was skating to as I really loved it, not just because of Yuzu but for the sake of this music itself.
Guilty partially again as I do get up to remove make up (I do not use contact lenses though) unless I ... don't

Have you ever supported a point of view you do not completely agree with just for the sake of better balanced or more lively discussion?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Have you ever supported a point of view you do not completely agree with just for the sake of better balanced or more lively discussion?

No.
I am more interested in honesty than balanced/lively discussion, and I hope people always be honest and say they completely disagree with something. I only support a point of view that I agree with, however I am always curious about contrary views and especially, the reasoning of the contrary view, but I will always say that I completely disagree with something if that’s the truth.

Have a flower of yours almost died because you forgot to bring it inside and stayed too long in extreme heat?

Not guilty.
Has a flower of yours ever died because you were too busy or absent minded and forgot to water it properly?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

No. But yesterday I left my mini roses outside in extreme heat (meant to be for a short while for the sun), went to the rink, and saw them almost dead still outside when I came back . Good thing they’re still alive!

Do you live in an expensive city/neighborhood/environment?

 

[iluvtodd]

not guilty (our city is reasonably affordable & where we live is relatively safe - hope it stays that way).

Do you live in walking distance of a shopping center?
