@ The Second EvilThis may sound weird, but when you talk English so much, do you find you start thinking in English? I'm getting quite fluent in French and German and I keep finding this happening to me!Yes! that happens to me all the time, sometimes i even start using English words when i'm in a conversation. It's funny how that happens... 2. What's your middle name?My middle name is........ Laura! Yeah, it's very basic/normal. My dad wanted to call me Laura but my mom insisted on Samantha. So they made Laura my middle name. My last name is Metselaar and they didn't wanted me to be a SM anyway, so now i'm a SLM Do you like Nip/Tuck?I've only seen the promo's for it and it looked very odd, so i never watched it. How much do you love this hot seat?I really like it, i hope people read my answers and they will get to know me a bit more. I'm really not that bad Which BTVSfigs member would you most like to meet in real life?Well... i've been talking to Insanity a bit more lately, and he's just so nice, so i'll pick him. I'd love to meet everybody though, most people on the board are great.

YAY!! lmao! hahahah yeah I totally agree! The day Britney Spears publishes a book, is the day I quit reading =] That's just very unpleasant. You're advocating the Da Vinci code and bashing Brit? And she has written a book, two actually, so you must have stopped reading about 4 years ago. Sammie - Don't go the Da Vinci route - Angels and Demons by Dan Brown is a much better read - it features the main character from Da Vinci, Robert Langdon, but has a much better plot and doesn't have the cheesy ending. Questions... What are thoughts on the world's view of America? What do you feel is most significant event thus far in history? I very much like The Da Vinci Code... And I meant a novel, something more along the lines of a bigger read.. But.. idk. Sorry :\

LOL no, i don't. I think she's actually a very good character with alot of potential. Yes, she can be a bitch but it's just to protect herself, i think she's not as bad as people think she is. You just have to get used to her, she grew on me in just a few episodes. At first i thought i wouldn't like her, but i do for some reason.

1) If you could be one age forever, what would it be? 2) What's the bravest thing you've ever done? 3) What do you prefer: a) The Shower b) Your Bed? 4) Tell us your theory on what the hell is going on in that island from Lost! A Curse? Government set-up? Coincidence? Or is it all just a dream? Tell us what you think! 5) Would you like to be part of my plans for world domination?

@ The Second Evil1) If you could be one age forever, what would it be? 27? that sounds like a good age, i can't know for sure though since i have never been 27 yet 2) What's the bravest thing you've ever done?I'm a chicken really, so there aren't many brave things i've done. There was this one time though, when i was like.. 15, 16? i'm not sure, we were on vacation in Greece and me and my friend went on a bus tour, on the way back we forgot to get out at the right station. So there we were in a bus riding to wards the other side of the island in a place we had never been to before, with a driver who barely spoke English and was very cranky. And without any money. So yeah, somehow i had to find a way to get back to the hotel and my friend wasn't helpful cause he didn't know any English at all, i'm a very shy person so it was hard for me to try and talk to the driver, even more because he was super moody. I did it though and he eventually agreed to take us back an hour later on his next tour. We arrived back at the hotel in one piece. I know it doesn't sound very brave, but for me it was, i'm just very shy around people, even worse when they are people that scare the hell out of me (AKA the driver). 3) What do you prefer: a) The Shower b) Your Bed?I think my bed, although the shower is nice. 4) Tell us your theory on what the hell is going on in that island from Lost! A Curse? Government set-up? Coincidence? Or is it all just a dream? Tell us what you think!Well, i hope there's a very good story behind it, so good that nobody has figured it out yet. I personally think it is sort of a test, i don't know if the government set it up but it could very well be. Also.. i'm thinking maybe some of them are actors, or at least "The Others". It could be a whole "Truman show" thing... who knows. I hope it's good though, i'd hate the series to have some totally lame ending. 5) Would you like to be part of my plans for world domination?...... sure, will there be flying monkey's involved?

Great answers, Sammie! I love your idea that some of the other survivors are actually The Others acting as confused bystanders Although I've got the same fear as you. I've got this feeling that no matter what ending the show gets, it's going to be a let down.

Hi Sammie, I'm curious about Dutch pop music, could you tell me who/what is popular now. Do you like Dutch bands better than non-Dutch bands? Do you like songs with Dutch lyrics or English lyrics? Do any Dutch bands sing in English? Do you prefer your Dutch bands to sing in Dutch only? Who are currently your favorite singers and/or groups, both Dutch and non-Dutch?
I'm wondering because I know Ace of Base from Sweden is huge outside of Sweden because they sing in English. They are not well like in their home country because they don't sing in Swedish.
Thanks!

Woo!!! Vegetarians!! ;D *clears throat* Where was I? If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Tomato or Cucumber? What were you doing around this time a year ago? Shrek or Donkey? What movie have you wanted to see most lately? If you were going to have plastic surgery, what would be the first thing you'd have done? Have you seen that brilliant, legendary film: Mrs Doubtfire? And lastly... how freakin' cool is this Hot Seat idea?!

@ escI'm curious about Dutch pop music, could you tell me who/what is popular now.Ermm let me think, right now there's this soft rock/pop band called "Racoon" which is very 'in'. Probably the girl who won the last Dutch Idols aswell, her name is Raffaella and Idols just ended a few weeks ago (it's the 3rd Dutch Idols so far) so people are still going crazy about her, i wonder how long it will last this time. (i have nothing against her, she was my fave.. but i don't think she will remain populair). O, and we have our national pride, DJ Tiesto Do you like Dutch bands better than non-Dutch bands?No, most Dutch bands suck in my opinion, i'm not a fan of any of them. Some make o.k. music that i sing along to, but i won't buy their albums. Do you like songs with Dutch lyrics or English lyrics?English mostly, Dutch lyrics usually don't work as well as English lyrics do. Dutch just sounds strange for some reason, in TVshows as well as music. It doesn't have a 'flow' as they call it. Do any Dutch bands sing in English?Most of them do actually, the bands for sure, you're not hard core if you sing in Dutch There are some bands who sing in Dutch, but their target audience is usually around their 30's, 40's. Solo artists usually do sing Dutch, but again, most of them don't have a huge teen fanbase. Do you prefer your Dutch bands to sing in Dutch only?No, please no! Like i said, most of the time it sounds odd. Who are currently your favorite singers and/or groups, both Dutch and non-Dutch?Michelle Branch, Jet, Keane.. mostly English stuff, i must say i do love one of the "Racoon" songs though, i believe it's called "Love you more". So.. as you can read, we are not just into Dutch stuff, most of us below 30 aren't anyways My dad for example is a different story, he loves Dutch music. @ OuijaRickOz or Tara?Tara Darla or Drusilla?Drusilla Spike or Angel?Spike Cordelia or Harmony? Cordy What was the last thing you ate?Icecream What was the last thing you drank?Lemonade (and no, i'm not a 4 year old i just really enjoy it. ) What’s your opinion on Anya? Good sense of humour or far too annoying?She's great, i love her. She's not annoying, she's adorable... just very honest What are views on the whole eating of meat? Are you a vegetarian?I want to be, but i'm just too weak.. i love chicken way too much. We do eat veggie burgers and stuff alot lately, and i must admit most of it tastes great. So who knows, i might be strong enough to leave the chicken alone one day, but not right now, i'm not proud of it . Do you still watch cartoons? Which ones?Not anymore, i think they replaced all the good stuff with new junk, like those weird-drawn cartoons.. mostly from Japan. I don't like those. Day or Night?Day Summer or Winter?That's hard, but i'll have to go with summer. Although i'm more of a spring person. What's your favourite smell?Lavender What is, if you have one, your favourite word? I don't think i really have a favorite, i love using English words though. @ Shivido you like to play PlayStation ?I would if i had one i own a Xbox and a nintendo DS right now, and i think that's enough. what is your favorite game ?Well, on my Xbox i love my Buffy games, and the HP ones. Also like the GoF game on my NintendoDS, and the Nintendogs are very cute. And that's actually about all the games i own (besides PC ones and the Sims) I suck at most of them though, i get killed everytime. whats your favorite kind of sport ? To play? none.. i'm not the sporty type. To watch? mostly girly stuff like figure skating, but i also very much enjoy darts (yes, it is a sport, and pretty big over here). @ The Second EvilIf you could have one superpower, what would it be?I'd love to have a water superpower, like in Captain Planet (if any of you know that animated series, i loved that as a kid). Or being invicible of course. That would be the best. Tomato or Cucumber?Tomato What were you doing around this time a year ago?Probably the same thing yeah.. i think so, nothing much has changed this year. Shrek or Donkey?DONKEY! He should rule the world, seriously. What movie have you wanted to see most lately?Brokeback Mountain, it didn't play where i live, so i'm waiting for the DVD. If you were going to have plastic surgery, what would be the first thing you'd have done?I actually already did *gasp* but that wasn't major, i don't think i'll ever have anything done just to look better. Have you seen that brilliant, legendary film: Mrs Doubtfire?Hey i'm Dutch, i don't live under a rock I really do love that movie. how freakin' cool is this Hot Seat idea?!Pretty freakin' cool! Thanks for the questions guys! And sorry if my English is bad, i use spell check on my answer posts to make sure.. but it doesn't seem to be working right now.

(*cough*cough*tara*cough*cough*custom*cough*) - Out of all the current books of Harry Potter, which book would you have liked to of been apart of (as a character)? - Do you think the Herione Actress will be able to move past Harry Potter and become her own actress? - Do you like the idea of re-casting the Harry Potter kids for future movies? - Um...

Okay. That's all I can think of...

@ Digi LeeDo you have a favorite Bini?Wow that's hard, i still really like The Real Me Dawn you made for me, she's just so cute. I also really liked the Seeing Red Tara. But then again.. i actually like all the Dawn's and Tara's you made All the bini's are just super cute, even the ones with vampire faces. If you could be ANY super hero, who would you pick?Does Buffy count as a super hero? cause i think she is.. if so, i'll pick her. Apart from that i like Spiderman... but i don't wanna be a man so that would be Spiderwoman Do you tink you'd like to be a student at Hogwarts (erm... is that right?)Hogwarts yes Well of course i'd like that, i'd love it! Sometimes i really wish that was a real place... although i'm already to old to attend it anyway. Favorite hair color?On me? just my natural color, which is light brownish. On others? brown or black... i'm not much into blond. Or red of course Do you think you knowing English will help you as a person?Wow.. i don't know really, it is nice talking to people from other country's online, i think that does help me in a way... you know, learning about other culture's. It's fun to see how you can have stuff in common with people living on the other side of the planet. I think i've learned that we're not all that different. So it has helped me in a way. What has been your favorite Swap theme?I've only done 3 so far, and i think the Christmas one was my favorite.. i'm not just saying that because you were my swap partner i just thought that was really cool, getting a swap present for Christmas. Do you have a favorite swap gift? Well, actually.. Tara was my favorite no really, i loved that one. She's standing on the table next to me right now! I wanted to keep her on the card but i just couldn't resist. She's pretty and i liked getting a custom, since i had none yet. So thanks Out of all the current books of Harry Potter, which book would you have liked to of been apart of (as a character)?Book 3 i think, because it's my favorite. But do you mean as a new character (made up) or a real character? Cause if you mean a real character, i'd say book 5 and 6, as Luna Lovegood Do you think the Herione Actress will be able to move past Harry Potter and become her own actress?I'm really not sure, i think it's gonna be very hard. I still think Rupert has the most potential to make it after HP ends. But i hope all 3 of them will. Do you like the idea of re-casting the Harry Potter kids for future movies?No, to me.. Dan, Emma and Rupert ARE the trio, i even see them when i read the books. I don't think i could still watch the movies if they got replaced. Um... Diamonds, a girls best friend?Maybe, not for me though. I don't have anything with diamonds... they are pretty i guess, but i don't need them. Thanks for the questions, again!

How do you feel about Michelle Rodriguez doing jail time over community service, with the possibility of more jail time? Do you think that makes her a good role model for young girls who watch her on tv?

@ GerryIs there anything that you want to share that you haven't already?Urm, maybe.... i'm a ketchup freak, that's always nice to know i eat it with almost everything, except for soup. No but seriously, it's an addiction @ JustHadHow do you feel about Michelle Rodriguez doing jail time over community service, with the possibility of more jail time? Do you think that makes her a good role model for young girls who watch her on tv?I knew people would take that banner the wrong way, so let me explain.. I do not, in any way, support drunk driving. I think it's wrong what Michelle did and she should be punished. However, the banner i had was a Ana Lucia banner, not a Michelle banner, i felt the character Ana Lucia was hated and decided to make a banner because i actually like the character and think she has potential. So that was to support Ana Lucia, not Michelle. So no, i do not think she is a good role model, then again, i don't think it will effect the people who watch Lost, who i think are mostly people above 12. If there are any viewers under that age i doubt they even know about what's going on with Michelle, and if they do, i really don't think it will effect them more than the stuff in Lost does (people getting shot, etc). + they will see that people get punished for things like that, famous or not. Which will maybe even learn them how bad drunk driving is. I hope i cleared that up, i think Michelle is a good actress but that does not mean that i agree with everything she does. Thanks for the questions, both of you
