oovret: Week 66

Now that you have gained another year’s worth of fans: approximately, how many e-mail/messages do you receive each week? (real e-mail)+(facebook)+(myspace)+(youtube)+(others)=(all)
hmm… i’d say anywhere from 800-1200?
How much time do you spend reading and replying to them?
a lot, but it’s kind of interspersed through the entire day, so it doesn’t seem too crazy.
What is your favorite fair food?
corn dogs :)
Do you enjoy listening to “The Replacements”?
not very familiar with them, i’ll check it out.
Does Mama G interrogate your new friends like she does with new ShoutBox users?
she always knew everything about everyone :) friends would come over and hang out with her instead of my sisters and me… haha.

Your cover is soooooo amazing!
I have heard many covers of that song and I think it’s not easy to sing it since Followill’s voice is incredible but your version is even better than the original!!! So powerful! You are brilliant.

Are rain clouds in October that weird in LA? In Austria temperature dropped from 27°C- to 5°C (80°F->41°F) within 4 days…thats weird :(

PS. I got my 3 CD’s pack this week and I’m so happy. Listening it all the time :D
