14: What are five things you absolutely have to have in your dream house?  Answered!  But I might end up thinking of more.

15: If you could be reincarnated as any animal, which would you chose and why?  Human.  Because philosophy.  But seriously though I often say that I wish I were a cat.

19: How many concerts have you attended? Which was your favorite? Least favorite? If none, who do you want to see live the most?  Jesus, a lot.  I could go count my tickets but… lazy.  I don’t know if I have a favorite.  I went to see Aimee Mann in Central Park and Ben Folds opened for her.  It was actually like a 50/50 split thing instead of an opener and main act so that was pretty unexpected and awesome.  And that’s how I was introduced to Ben Folds.  The National are also pretty fucking amazing live, though.  And seeing The Police live was truly a wonderful experience and really made me appreciate them.  

Least favorite is either the last time I saw Ben Folds or seeing Blanche live.  I saw Blanche open for Wilco and they were fantastic, then I saw them at the free concerts in Detroit, but then I saw them live in a small indoor venue and it was very underwhelming.  Ben Folds was fucking awful because it was that one terrible album with the song You Don’t Know Me At All which was admittedly good but the album as a whole was awful.  There were all the college kids there drinking and being idiots, and he had the people dressed up as big unhappy faces walk on stage and like bob along to the music.  Fucking awful.  It was the moment I realized he wasn’t actually all that innovative or interesting.

Who do I most want to see live?  David Bowie or The Clash.

EDIT:  I’ve just counted about 20 tickets, but I know some are missing.  I think my boyfriend might have them.  Not to mention the free concerts in Detroit I’ve been to.
