Sonya's blog

What other names did your parents consider for you?

Bianca. Which is a nice name, but seriously, I don't think I would have made a convincing Bianca. I'm glad they settled for Sonya.

Idiot would have been appropriate, though. I entered my fabulous MOO Vox promo pack and got confused address-wise. I entered the street I lived in until three years ago. How stupid am I? Luckily I realised what I had done before they dispatched the cards I ordered a couple of days ago.

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Lemon and Peach&Mango - the best for a really hot day!

When is the last time you stayed up all night?

March 10, 2007 - my best friend's b'day party. Went to bed around 8 a.m. and slept all day indeed.

Going well so far ...

How did you pick your Vox name? Does it mean something? 
Submitted by LeendaDLL.  

Um, it's my name, actually. And I'm sure it does mean something, but I have no idea what ...

Do you listen to podcasts?  Are there any you'd recommend? 
Inspired by Alex.

Oh yes I do. As a matter of fact, I probably listen to too many, I've got the episodes piling up at the moment. Here are my favourites:

• Escape Pod
• I should be writing
• The Kissy Bits
• WrimoRadio
• Geek Fu Action Grip
  

What's your favorite restaurant?

Goi in Stuttgart. Very fast, very good, very Asia - their words, but they are true. Pity it’s so far away ...

You've been through the desert on a horse with no name.  Except your horse does have a name.  What is it?

We used to have a budgie. My mother had picked it up on the street in July 1986 (I think) and since nobody seemed to miss it, we kept it. It was the funniest, liveliest bird ever, a total sweety. It died in January 1999, one day after I went back to England after the Christmas break.
