Formspring Friday

12:30 to 4:00 p.m., yo! Under the cut: Betty vs. Veronica, music is my boyfriend and why I think our artists need your money, and a blast from the past!

What happened to me after 930 last Friday? Last thing I remember was us tweeting and Kjwan’s set. Then it gets Hazy. —Casas

You made out with Niles and expressed your undying love for “The Day You Said Goodnight.” Really, you did.

Haha! Thanks, but that’ll probably never happen, and I don’t think I’d ever actually want that. :) I’m totally gunning for Ramon Bautista, though. World domination!

Thank you so much for answering my questions. You’re so great, that’s why I really admire you Ate Regina. :) And if I could ask you a question again, may I? Take care always. :* —Ina

Hi, Ina! You’re very welcome, and thank you so much. :) Sure, if there’s anything else you ever want to ask in the future, the Formspring link is just there. :)

Hey! I just want to ask this… Betty or Veronica? And why? Thanks!

My answer might be surprising, but I read an article online somewhere that has made me solidly Team Veronica. (I can’t remember where now.) Why Veronica, when Betty is obviously the nicer girl? Because I just cannot stand Betty’s obsession with Archie and the way she throws herself at him. I don’t believe in chasing after a guy, especially if he is clearly showing more interest in another woman (who is supposedly his girlfriend) than in you. Ronnie plays it cool and lets the boys do the chasing, and I like that.

Actually, it’s Archie who should go die in a fire. Betty and Veronica deserve better. Haha!

Just wannna let you know that Music Is My Boyfriend is L-♥-V-E. I’m now downloading all the songs you posted. And it makes me smile everytime I see a song I already know, I don’t really know why? (:

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy it. :) Just want to remind you, though, to please, please, please purchase the albums if you enjoy the music. Music Is My Boyfriend was meant to be a way for me to introduce the music I like to other people and show support for the artists I love, but I can’t help feeling a little scared that I might be contributing to piracy.

The last thing I want to do is infringe on the rights of the people who have given me so much, especially our local bands, because there isn’t as much money in the local music industry as most people are led to imagine. Glory, yes; cash, not so much. Haha! So yes, buy their albums and their EPs! OPM needs all the support it can get.

Hi there!:) It’s very nice of you to take time to answer each of the questions here with such politeness. Anyways, do you watch the show Lost? —mallow

Hi! :) I really don’t believe in being anything but polite to other people, especially when they’ve been equally nice to me. No, I don’t watch Lost anymore. I did for the first two seasons, though.

Hey there! :) I’m an avid fan of you column in the Star and I have to thank you for getting me to listen to A Perfect Circle and Placebo. “Three Libras” is such a beautiful, beautiful, bittersweet song.

Wow, someone who actually read my column as far back as my APC obsession! That’s amazing. :) Thank you so much! And you’re very welcome. :) I can’t even listen to that song anymore, but they’re still one of my favorite bands. I might just bring that column back from the dead sometime soon. :)

bb, nunca estas en ym! anyhoo, I asked my barista kabarkada earlier and the earlier comment about year-round peppermint reigns true here in the US as well, so perhaps it’s the same back home, too :) oh & how many itunes cards did you want btw? <3, B [ps—im formspringing you OUTSIDE of class :* ]

B, thanks! :D I’ll ask some of the local baristas about that next time I hit up a Starbucks, which will be very, very soon. :) They come in denominations of $25 right? I’m trying to decide if I want just $25 or $50. Haha! I’ll let you know once I’ve made up my super fickle mind, though, but definitely either $25 or $50. I LOVE YOUUU. ♥
