Since I missed to answer two of the previous rounds, I thought I put them together with this week's questions in one nice package
10.07.2015 - BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
a) If you had to eat nothing but CEREAL for a week, what types would you eat?
In some of the shops in my area, they sell the cereals not just in the big boxes, but also in small ones that probably would last for two days max. With four boxes in one package, plus milk, and some cereal bars, I think I could last a week. But I wouldn't (and couldn't) stick to one type of cereal for a whole week.
b) Have you ever bought candy/cereal/snack JUST for the PRIZE inside?
Yep!! The Surprise Eggs, where there is a small toy hidden beneath a chocolate egg. I bought them, but didn't eat the chocolate (I was and still am very selective about chocolate - dark chocolate only). My mother used to use it for cookies and other bakery goods for Christmas year after year.
c) What is the earliest you have ever been drunk?
Is it bad or good to say that I have never ever been drunk in my life so far, no matter what time of the day??
d) Name one thing you have taken apart and could NOT put back together.
I can't exactly remember at the moment, but there definitely was one, at least. I was born curious, after all.
e) Three musketeers or three stooges?
The Three Musketeers (preferably the cast from the 1993 movie)
he definitely loves the shiny stuff...

26.06.2015 - STAR-GAZING
a) What is your fondest memory of something related to the stars or space?
I don't remember when it happened, but the first time I realized that there were certain patterns in what seemed to me a randomnly assembly of stars. That, and watching the various fireworks, bathing the night sky over my hometown in so many wonderful colors.
b) What is a celestial body that you find particularly interesting?
That would be the sun. I love it when she shines, but it always fascinates me how much damage she can cause (solar storms, radiation) even though she is so far away from us.
c) When you look at the night sky, what thoughts cross your mind?
What is really out there? Could it be possible that on some planet, no matter how close or how far he is from Earth, there is some kind of civilization? And how would they react if we earthlings suddenly show up there? (goes vice-versa as well)
d) Have you ever seen anything weird or inexplicable up there?
Nothing, except for some "moving blinking lights" (also known as airplanes flying by night; description was made by me when I was a kid)
e) Would you live in space or on another planet?
If the parameters for living are on a near-earth level - probably. But until then I'm okay here on Earth.
Space - the final frontier...

26.06.2015 - CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
a) What is something that you loved doing as a kid that you hate doing now?
I absolutely can't remember anything.
b) What is something that you hated doing as a kid that you love doing now?
As funny as it might sound - writing. I couldn't write a decent essay for the life of me when I was a kid. Then, one fine day, my mother set me down with a piece of paper and the image of a Christmas market, and told me to write a story - which was exactly three lines long. Then she told me to close my eyes and "live" the Christmas market - what do I smell, hear, feel, etc. And before I knew it, I had a full-fledged essay at my hands - and a new hobby (which is a gift that keeps on giving in real)
c) Do you still play (in the childhood sense of the word)?
That depends on the definition of playing. If you mean going to a playground and such, then no. But if you mean playing with cars and legos and dolls, then absolutely.
d) If not, what is stopping you?
For the playground - I'm too old and too grown up for most of the facilities there, plain and simple.
e) If so, what do you like to play?
Most of this happens when I visit friends who have kids. Then I'm having a racer duel or a tea party with quite an extended guest list (including teddybears and other stuffed animals), or we do some brainstorming over the latest puzzle the parents bought.
