Even if it's not a typical 'metal instrument', would say a trumpet.  It looks fun after all, and seems to be the easiest to play national anthems compared to most instruments.
My other choice would be the full set of drums, since I have gotten experience with them.
My third would be a torupill, which is an Estonian bagpipe like instrument

if you could own an exotic wild animal as a living companion or 'pet' which would you choose?
obviously domesticated animals and livestock don't  count.

[Wuff-Wuff]

Uff that's a good one. I think I'd go with a Shoebill. I still vividly remember my first encounter at a Zoo with one and was fascinated by it's oddity and grace. Such a beautiful creature.

Are you a morning shower person or an evening shower person?

[Ves]

Late, late evening shower-er (sometimes so late it ends up being morning hehe  )  Partly executive dysfunction, partly because it’s nice being able to just go to sleep and wake up feeling clean

What is your favourite breed of dog and why? 

[Wuff-Wuff]

Dobermann  I grew up with two of them and my family later had one more.

What snacks do you prefer, salty or sweet?

[Firox]

I know I shouldn't admit it while saying to all that I have diabetes, but Sweet for me, it's how I got it in the first place.
I never liked too much salt.


Have you ever fallen asleep while being on hold on the telephone?

[Ves]

Hmm don’t think so - haven’t had many times when I was on a call with a hold.

What is or favourite (or just a one you really like) music album and why?

[Firox]

My favorite album is "Seasons in the Abyss" by the thrash metal band Slayer, it's been my favorite since I was 15 years old, and to this day I love every single song, it's hard to pick one to start with, and impossible to skip any song, so I just keep it on random and repeat.
It's the fast, raw, aggressive nature of the album, the fast solos, that wake me up in an instant, and get me to doing things. "Seasons in the Abyss" even if its the name of the album, it's also  the name of the last song, really love how the lyrics and the music goes together, and such an awesome chorus to start the day with.
"Skeletons of Society", "Dead Skin Mask", and "War Ensemble" are some of the fast and aggressive songs to get the day started, or any of those 'boring slow days' just go away instantly.

related to music, is there a cover song you love more than the original song?
and of course only counts if you listened to both the original and cover.  If you haven't, then listen to the original before posting your answer.

[Wuff-Wuff]

Hmmh this one's a hard one for me. I was thinking of Nirvana's cover of the Vaseline's "Son of a Gun", but the original chorus is sooooo good! 

I'd probably have to go with "Love Buzz" originally by Shocking Blue. The vocalist has such a great voice but the Nirvana version has such a raw and chaotic punch to it that I can't deny loving it more.


Q: do you prefer colder or warmer climate/weather?

[Ves]

Hm I think colder - hot weather can be really overwhelming and overstimulatimg, and it’s a lot easier to bundle up than try stay cool 

Question: If you went on any, did you enjoy going on school trips at school?

[Firox]

I prefer the colder weather to be honest.
If it gets too cold, I can wrap up myself in jackets and pants, or in bed bundle up with extra blankets to retain body heat, and at least to me my two  cats help three keep me warm, and with my own body heat I help to keep them warm too.
What I don't like about the heat is that when it's too hot, its hard to relax, or cool down  and the cats don't want to be next to me.


Had you ever had a bad experience at a restaurant?

[Wuff-Wuff]

@Ves: I'm tying to think if there were any school trips I liked. There were highs and lows, often felt a bit forced though... ah! Does staying for a week in Montpelier, France to learn French with the class count  ? That one has treasured memories.

@Firox: oh countless, especially when I was young I disliked the long sitting around and talking the grown ups would partake, forcing me to be still and quiet for such a long time.
Later I guess a bad experience was in a French restaurant. I didnt understand the menu, but the word "Escargot" sounded familiar, so I ordered that. The sauce was great but I constantly had to think of all the Snails I "befriended" and saved from being stomped by placing them in the foliage away from the walk way.....


Q: Where did you experience your favourite holiday trip?

[Firox]

The most memorable one for me was in 1990 when my grandma and I lived in Mexico.
Of course back then I was too young, and played a lot,  so that meant extra presents and candies.  Holiday is taken very seriously in Mexico.
Got presents on my birthday, got presents on Christmas, and even got presents on January 5th on Children's day, or in Spanish called 'Dia de los Santos reyes' which translates to 'Day of the Saint Kings'  where in culture you put a shoe in the window, along with a small note  on what presents you likes, and if you where nice all year, the present would come true. Or so the legend goes.
I learned it was just our parents  replacing the note with the wanted gifts or money.  *giggles*

Have you ever stopped eating or drinking something you loved?
kind of related to it when learning that it was unhealthy for your body.
(if curious, for me it was regular Coca-Cola soda once I learned how much sugar it had, and main reason I got sick with Diabetes, especially when i drank about an entire 12 pack a day. Yes, it's true.)

[Ves]

Yeah I too stopped drinking regular coke as well - though for me I saw those videos of people boiling it down into black syrup and I realised I should probably stop. Now I just drink Diet Coke which probably isn’t too much better but oh well

Question: what would your dream fursuit be like?  (and if you wouldn’t ever want one, then just what’s a fursuit you think would be cool?)

[anoni]

My dream fursuit is the one I have! It looks really good, everytime I wear it people compliment me

If you're not in uni/college, what major would you want to study? If you are studying or have graduated, what's a different major you'd want to study?

[Wuff-Wuff]

Hmmh~ I'd probably fancy either music or philosophy. At the moment leaning more towards philosophy.
