Date: 2004-07-02 08:25 pm (UTC)Were you allowed to watch TV on school days? Was your television intake monitored (as in how long, what you were watching etc): I was allowed to watch tv on school days, but only for about an hour, and IF my homework was finished. (My mom's insistence, again.)
Did you learn most of your morals through stories, events, parents, school, or television: Morals mostly came from my mom. She instilled them in me from day one. She always told me that whether I believed her or not, some day it would make sense.
Were any of stories you were told passed through word of mouth, or were they all taken from books:
Were your parents always honest, or were tall tales to make the lesson stick alright: I know my mom was always honest with me.
Did you have any family traditions: Going out to dinner whenever someone got a new job, celebrating birthdays, 4th of July, Christmas, etc
Were family history/family pride/family time important:
Mom's family I didn't know until after my parents divorced, and my dad's family were dysfunctional, so the entire concept of "family" itself was kind of wacky.
Did you have cultural influences (ie: ethnic foods/music/dress/etc): Ohhh yes. We ate a lot of Chinese, Italian, and Swedish food.
Was your family religious: My mom was/is. She never pushed it on us though.
How old were you when you first went to the cinema, and what did you see: I was two years old; I saw "Snow White" with my mom and brother.
Did you spend a lot of time playing video games: Not a lot of time playing them, but watching my brother play them on his Atari (and later Nintendo).
What extra-curricular activities did you partake in: Drama, yearbook, literary magazine.
What do you think of Disney's butchering of classic fairy tales: I HATE the way they portray people!!!! They ruin the best fairy tales. The way most fairy tales are written (originally) actually help kids get a better sense of the world, I think. Not everyone is beautiful, not every good person wins every time, etc. I wish they would be a bit more realistic with their warped movies. Even "Beauty And The Beast" wasn't very realistic. *sigh*
