1. Who would you like to be able to get into contact with?
There's isn't anyone in particular I want to get into contact with and can't. Hm... Maybe some 20 or so years ago, I'd have loved to be able to get into contact with my then-penpal from Portugal and ask just why she decided to quit being penpals? I mean, I'd probably just forget about it if she simply stopped responding and "ghosted", but she did send a letter saying "I'm so sorry, you must hate me, so let's stop writing!" Classic "it's not you, it's me" but I dunno. I kind of got bothered by that message LOL.

Now I'm chill about it, don't worry. Not going to waste my brain juice in getting upset over it.

2. How do you make yourself go to sleep when you can’t seem to get to sleep?
I am one of the lucky ones that have very little experience with insomnia. I'm usually dead tired by 11pm and will just conk off. The one or two times that I remember that I couldn't sleep were excruciating and I couldn't get myself to sleep, and I count myself fortunate that it is not a common occurence with me.

3. What language(s) do you wish you could speak?
Wish? German and Japanese.

4. What is it about people that confused you the most?
Why must they be two-faced and deceitful.

5. What major company do you despise the most?
I hate drunktards (how I call drunkards sorry). And probably stoned/high people. I mean, you are free to get drunk/high all you like, that's fine by me. But when you are drunk and sprouting rubbish at me then no thanks. I'm the type to take no crap so I'd get very annoyed once your drunken preachings start getting ridiculous.

1. What keeps you up at night?
Oh, I'm the very lucky type and I usually fall asleep really easily. (As long as I'm tired)

2. How well do you operate on insufficient sleep?
Not well at all. I think I act somehow like a drunk when I'm really sleepy and am not allowed to sleep. (Whereas I'd be suddenly more alert and quiet when I'm drunk... if you think getting me drunk will get me to spill secrets, you are wrong. I get even more tight lipped when drunk!)

3. Under what conditions do you get your best sleep?
I dunno. In a bed? The one time I slept REALLY WELL on the plane was Prague to London then connecting to Hong Kong. Had a glass of champagne before boarding the Prague to London, and then the champagne kicked in when I was on the London to Hong Kong. Slept like a log. My friend pushed me to wake me up for breakfast before landing.

4. What unusual places have you slept in?
Nah, I've had a very stable life and I've been able to sleep in a bed 99.9% of my life. The few times were maybe on planes. And I have tried an overnight bus in Japan as well.

5. What’s a good song about dreams or dreaming?
Dunno. I guess this one. I never really read the lyrics properly but listening to the song they seemed to make no sense LOL. What fireball and be careful with that thing and stuff that's pretty out there.
