@JJWeatherman: Yea I tried to join :). I figured you had too many people playing anyway, so I just played with some other people @swoxx: I haven't really played guitar/bass for a long time (kind of got sick of my xbox for a while), so i was able to practice with other people a bit, perhaps better this way :P [Also: I have a new HD television which SUCKS to play on, so I had to calibrate 2394234 times (and it still isn't any good)]
So no worries and anyone who wants to play for a bit: just invite me, I'll be online a couple of times I suppose!
" Stay CALM as well, if you get jittery and your eyes flick around a lot, it will look poorly on you "
And if you cannot stay calm, just say "I'm sorry, I'm a bit nervous about this interview, ...". It will calm you down and the other party will act in a sympathetic way cause it's completely normal to be nervous.
Think a few seconds before you answer. A late answer beats a bad answer. Normally you should prepare loads of possible questions and answers before going to an interview though.
Avoid everything that's negative. This means negative words (like douchebag), negative associations, negative thoughts, ...
Do not "lie" per se, just try to make everything that's bad sound really good. If you're an impatient person for instance, try to say it like "Some people say I'm impatient, but I just really like to finish things in a quick and efficient manner!" You won't seem too fake cause you said something bad about yourself, but you twisted it so it can be thought of as a positive quality.
Never ever badmouth people (or your previous job). Instead of saying what you didn't like, try saying what you did like, or what you learned about yourself. (Example: I liked my previous job a lot, but I learned that I miss interpersonal contact. Being around people is important to me and I'm happy that this job position can offer me that!)
Edit: If you prepared yourself for possible questions, try to think of concrete examples. Your boss will learn a thing or two about you, plus you will seem more genuine than when you do not give a few examples from time to time. (If you say you're a social person, try mentioning you loved being part of some extracurricular activity such as a book club or something. Just an example though, try to think of all the things you do and connect them to the characteristics your boss is looking for)
My cat fell out of my apartment window once, from the 3rd floor (when you count the floor AFTER climbing stairs the first floor) it was an old building so it was very high. I didn't really notice until later though, she had been sitting in the streets in the middle of the city for about an hour, shaking cause she was so scared:p. She decided it was a good idea to sit on the outside window sill again after 20 minutes (exact same spot as where she fell). I guess a lot of cats are idiotic :(

" White wine , Champagne and there was a cherry beer from I think Denmark or Dutchland ( or somewhere in Europe ) which tasted awesome and not bitter like regular beer "
