Hello everyone! I'm happy to find this community...I'm always happy to find fellow Grobanites who aren't...you know, crazy.
Name: Laura, aka. lauralareine
Age (optional): 26!
Province/Territory: Originally from Alberta, then Nova Scotia, then Ontario, and now I actually don't live in Canada at all (although I maintain my Canadian passport and pay my taxes like a dutiful citizen, so don't hold it against me)!
Job (student counts!): I teach English and drama at an American-style international school in South Korea.
Some other questions:
When was the first time you ever heard Josh?
I went to a Sarah Brightman La Luna concert in Calgary, and they did their duet. I fell in love with him immediately. I was way up in the nosebleeds so all I could see was his hair and I thought he was, like, forty. It wasn't until a year later when I saw his album in the store and thought, "Hey, it's that guy! Goodness...he's my age."
Now I'm kind of sorry that I didn't try to talk to him after the show.
What Josh song are you currently nuts about?: I like to write, and I like to listen to Josh while I write. The song of choice usually depends on what's going on in the story, so it varies. For personal reasons, I like Machine because it's been my anthem lately.
Ever see Josh live (in Canada, that is)?: In Ottawa back in 2003 (I think) for his Closer tour. I got his autograph. :)
What’s the best part about being a Canadian Grobie?: I like being Canadian, I like being a Grobie...but I don't really think of them as being that connected, really.
What’s the worst part?: Having to wait longer for things to be shipped.
What else (other than Josh) do you like? Bands/singers, etc.: Sarah Brightman, Sissel, Alanis Morissette, Jann Arden, and I like French-Canadian singers like Pierre Lapointe, Emily Loizeau, and the band Mes Aïeux.
What’s the best part of being Canadian?: Canadians who live overseas get treated a lot better than their American counterparts.
What is your favourite Canadian thing (food, items, stores, etc.)?: I know this might be a strange answer, but my favourite thing about Canada is that you could eat food from a different part of the world every day of the week. That's not something you can do easily in South Korea -- they are not about the international cuisine.
Do you like cows?: I don't love them, I don't hate them. They exist.
Anything else you want us to know?: I work hard to expose Koreans to Josh. He's not famous in Korea. I really don't know why. But I'm working on it. ;)
