Answer:

Hi Liliana;=)
- No, nothing new at this moment.
- There are many I would love to master but a cool one I have always felt is a sexy instrument is the violin so that would be awesome to be able to play;=)
- We dont talk on the phone so often but we have sms and email contacts;=)
- Oh, I have no clue, I guess my mum would know. But if I could guess: mamma (which means mummy)
- Portugal was really nice but the weather wasnt so nice when we were there. It rained like hell. But despite that I have some really good and special memories from Portugal;=)
- I like Tarot, Brother Firetribe, Finntroll, HIM, Sonata Arctica, Amorphis and many more.

Hi Anette, thanks for letting ask questions! :)
- How are your workouts going along?, since you are busy with daily life how do you make time?
-What kind of diet are you on? Im just wondering because it seems to be working for you. You seem not to fall off the wagon that easily. I was eating well, and excercising avoiding certain foods in order to lose the weight after giving birth to my son. I got to point i was fit but then i was confused of what to do next. So then i starting to fall of the wagon. you have any tips on what i should do?
-What keeps you going, in working out everyday?
This question might be personal. How do you keep your relationship going with your partner after being away for a long time during the touring all over the world? Im having a difficult time since i moved here in europe, coming from america. It really has tested my marriage since moving here, it is very difficult to adjust to a new world. Any advice is good. Take care
Thanks again, with love rose.

Answer:

Hi Rose;=)
What a beautiful name you have! Love it;=)
- They are going really well. Since I started exercising I have always tried to exercise my running in the mornings, when I worked in a "normal" job before NW I went up at 6 and ran. Nowadays I run around 8.30. My kettlebell exercise and weights I do in the evenings after the kids are asleep. And my power walks I do with Nemo in the pram either in the mornings or the afternoons. I think its important to plan the exercise and stick to it, no matter what. Ask your partner for support and help with the kids e g so you can go and do whatever activity you like. A good health is important to have.
- I think for me, no diets are working. I have tried them all and my body doesnt like to not be able to eat carbs, or eat a lot of meat and fat, or eat just raw food e g. I feel if I am gonna be able to stick to this and feel like a "normal" person I need to eat without thinking to much about it. I eat 3 meals a day and if I am hungry in between I try to eat fruit or nuts. If I feel like eating an ice cream with the kids now and then, I do;=) I think a good way to loose weight and keep it is to do exercising a couple of days a week and eat good food. Not fast food, home cooked is better so you can see what is in it. Dont give up if you dont see any results fast, cause for me, it takes time but I can see my changes are working;=) Good luck!
- I really need to run or do work outs nowadays cause I feel so depressed and down if I just do nothing. And I feel I get happier and a better mum and partner when I exercise regularly. I am a person who can be stressed and I have a lot of energy that needs to come out so if I dont take my walks, run eg I get more cranky towards everyone.
- This is a hard question since when I toured last time I mainly didnt have a partner since me and my husband divorced. But I think being away from each other is really hard and nothing I like at all to be. I think if its gonna work out its necessary to communicate really well and respect each others positions. When I have been away for 5 weeks it takes me some time to get back into the "normal" life and those first days I can feel I am a bit distanced and in my own head still so its important for me to say that to my partner. That it has nothing to do with him and that is just so hard to get back and "land" from being on the road, living that rock´n roll life and then getting back home and be mummy Anette and wife/fiancee Anette. I can feel a bit "depressed" coming home sometimes and that is cause it is so hard to change from the different lives I live.
Being away from each other can also have positive aspects, like longing for each other can make the relationship be stronger. Longing after someone is also really good so we dont take each other for granted in life;=) I hope you´ll find strength and hope and support each other. Lots of good luck to you!

Little Broken Heart said...

Oh, no, my mind is blank...and I was thinking of something I wanted to ask you the other day, can't remember now though.
Okay, here's one. Did you listen to Nightwish before you joined?
And if you could, would you meet and get to know all of your fans? Or would you prefer to keep a mysterious distance???
Take care, thanks for letting us ask, :D

Answer:

Hi Little broken heart;=)
- No, I had never heard them.
- I think its nice to meet our fans, but if it were to see them all at the same time, I would feel a bit stressed;=)

Bevan said...

Hey anette :D
this is a reaaallyy wierd question but i wondered if you have read any existencialist books for example waiting for godot? If you have, what do you think of existencialism??
and second question if you had to choose whether keeping your hair a certain color for the rest of your life, what color would it be??
thanks :D

Answer:

Hi Bevan;=)
- No, I havent.
- Oh, I could never ever do that;=) I need to change my colour now and then since I feel like a cameleont. But if I had to choose, it would be my blonde natural colour.

Elmas said...

Hello Anette, and thanks for the questions round.
I was wondering about which of the following aspects you consider absolutely necessary for a singer: expressiveness, solid technique or a beautiful voice? I know all of them are important and can be crucial for how a singer is perceived by their audience, but which one would you "pick" over the others, if you had a choice?
I would also like to know what are your views on plastic surgery; do you approve of it or not, would you like to get any and is there anything specific that you would like to change about yourself?

Thanks again and I hope you have fun answering them!

Answer:

Hi Elmas;=)
- Yes, that is a hard question to answer. But I think expressing feelings and being able to grasp the listener.
- I think that is something anyone can decide on if they feel they need it. So I approve of it.
