Questions and Answers
Favourite drink:
Tea. But red wine is also fine. And Gin Tonic on a sunny afternoon.
Favourite food:
I love lamb meat. Which will always stand in the way for any attempt to be a vegeterian, sadly enough. My dad can make the most amazing things with lamb.
Favourite colour:
The yellowish tone of aged paper.
Favourite toy as a kid:
As a little kid it must have been my toy cars. My dad used to make landscapes and paper houses which I played with. Then when I got a bit older I guess I turned more and more to my computer. I was obsessed with game programming for a couple of years, and actually made a few fairly okay ones.
Favourite item of clothing:
Hard one. I’m not the kind of person that really think about how I dress.
Favourite journey:
Must be the trip to South Africa I made with my family and two friend’s families in Autumn 2001.
Favourite animal:
I never had a good hand with animals, but I like cats.
Favourite smell:
The scent of Summer rain.
Favourite book as a teenager:
Must be ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J.R.R. Tolkien. My dad read them to me, to my brother and to my sister and I listened to it every time. And then I re-read them myself.
Turn-ons:
Vivid eyes. Intelligence. Kindness.
Turn-offs:
People nagging about their problems. Bad smell.
Best and worst characteristics:
I can be really moody and nag about my problems (see above). And I can be deadly jealous. The good thing is that I can write about and feel better. I am a really kind person, sometimes too kind. I always want everyone around me to feel comfortable.
First single bought:
I don’t really buy singles. But I remember that the first record I ever got on CD was ‘Tåget Går’ by Traste Lindéns Kvintett. I got it from my dad and it must have been in 1992 or 1993.
First album bought:
The first album I bought myself was probably a recordning of Beethoven’s ninth symphony. I had a period when I was around ten years old when I loved classical music, and this was the first record I bought. The first record I owned, however, I was given (by my dad again). It was Perssons Pack’s album ‘Svenska Hjärtan’.
First concert:
I was on Barowiak i Uppsala when I was six, to see Perssons Pack. I can’t remember much of the concert though.
First kiss:
Was with my first girlfriend on her bed when I was 18. It was a fantastic experience, a whole new world opening.
Most impressive scar:
I don’t believe I have any visible scars. I have a small mark on my right hand from a pencil. I got it in kindergarten and it have never faded.
Things which make you cry:
Pearl Jam’s song ‘Indifference’. Life sometimes makes me cry itself. And high psychological pressure often makes me cry.
Ambition as a child:
A few years I dreamed about being a professional football keeper. I also really wanted to have a family. I also wanted to become a composer or song writer. I still want to become like Peter Gabriel. Or Neil Tennant.
