Rustie decided on the 'Punk Rocker'
Where is the best waterpark you went to?
Living in Florida Rustie is able to access quite a few Disney attractions and 'Paradise Island' is probably the best Waterpark. She doesn't go on the waterslides as she is a bit chicken, but is happy to observe others.
Karina chose to go with the same Question
Where is the best waterpark you went to?
In Corfu, Karina goes to 'Aqualand' - it has a 'Lazy River' inflatable rings ride which flows through the Park as well as a 'Wave' pool. In England when she was younger she was hurt in on a waterslide ride and doesn't go on them any more.
Question2
Karina picked the 'Tuxedo'
Where do you visit on the internet at the start of each day?
At 10am every morning Karina is on the internet for work purposes checking messages and notifications. For leisure she joins 'wotpad/com' where you can type up, write and read stories.
Rustie chose the 'Camel'
Which of the major theme parks would you most like to go to?
The theme park Rustie would like to go to would be 'Bush Gardens' but Thailand would be her 'go to' destination for its stunning scenery, colour and food.
Question 3
Karina decide on the 'Cartoon planet'
Which Brand are you most loyal to?
There is a large British community in Corfu so Karina finds it quite easy to access the'AVON' brand of cosmetics. She especially likes the perfume 'Rare Gold'. She has no clothes fashion brands and wears what is comfortable for her.
Rustie chose the 'football'
What old person things do you do?
Rustie likes an early night and doesn't' stay up past 9pm. She doesn't like driving at busy times and she generally reduces her speed. She pretends to meditate after being out and coined the phrase 'Old person Hypocrisy' a duality of personality when you feel you have no more effort to give but you try to be loving.
Question 4
Karina picked the 'Random colours'
Who is your favourite artist?
Choosing artists from different genres, Karinas favourites are; The Author S.E.Hinton (The outsiders) Any Rock Band of the 1980's Leonardo DaVinci
Rustie picked the small boat
Who takes charge of the TV remote?
Rustie has not had a television for 16 years and only rarely goes on YouTube She feels that the TV is like a drug, in that it makes people forget communication and responsibility, it is addictive and the reason why society is so angry, it promotes fear and anxiety and could be the downfall of humanity, instead of love and community it stirs up all that we are afraid of.
Question 5
Karina chose the 'Wedding'
How many lullabies do you know?
A minute of singing later and Karina had come up with 6 Rustie added another 1.
A short discussion followed about the Brothers Grimm and their collection of folklore and fairy tales, which, along with lullabies, are in truth, really quite scary.
Rustie decided on the 'Table football'
When did you just have to keep your mouth shut?
Rustie mimed keeping her mouth shut. She says her 'filter' left about 10 years ago and if she doesn't bite her tongue she can be very scathing.
