Game: Ask the Person Below You

[mono]

This morning, after waking, when finding Psyche already awake, cuddling close to me, waiting for me to rise, then telling each other our night's dreams. ;)

To the person below me: same question (good one, amuse).

[Jay]

Not yet as far as I can remember/tell

same question (having the feeling this one's going to stay for a little while :D)

[Molko]

Last weekend, when I was able to spend a little time with a friend I dont frequently see

Im so uncreative at the moment, so same question...

[papayahed]

Funny, when I was cutting cheese (literally) with a guy I had the hots for.


Are you planning to see the new star Wars movie?

[Émilie]

I don't think so even if I might be interested, I have not seen the previous ones. I know kind of sad.

same question

[Molko]

Yeah, I think I will.

Same question.

[baddad]

Uhh.....eventually.....on dvd one lazy sunday afternoon.....when winter arrives.......or its raining......and there is little else to do.......next year.........

[ajoe]

List in order which of the following you'd rather have: headache, stomachache, toothache, sore lips, sore throat.

Let's assume for each it's a worst-case scenario.

[Jay]

sore lips, headache, stomachache, sore throat, toothache

the 80s or the 70s? (music kinda)
whoops, not this or that thread... hmmmm... fave 'age' of music? as in... the 50s... very contemporary... very confusing, I know

[Bongitybongbong]

Probably the 70's or Hair Bands of the 80's

Do you have a crap load of pollen where you live?(pollen=bad)

[Molko]

yes, unfortunately. Im badly allergic to it.

To the person below me: what's your opinion of modern music? (e.g. R&B, Hip Hop etc)

[Bongitybongbong]

very very bad....

Have you ever done the sport "Cross Country"?

[Molko]

Yep, it was compulsory during school. I hated it! lol *shakes fist*

To the person below me: whilst growing up, what sports were compulsory during primary school and high school?

[mono]

Baseball, basketball, long-distance jogging, short-distance sprinting, and dancing (if you consider it a sport in physical education) only come to mind.

To the person below me: what season do you enjoy most, and why?

[Monica]

Summer. "In summer I can taste the salt of the sea..." :D It's warm, there's no school, I can do what I want to (almost)... Et in Arcadia ego :brow:


what's the difference between Pepsi and Coke (apart from the name)?

[papayahed]

Someone told me that one uses lemon extract and the other uses orange extract, but I don't know how factual that is.

When's the last time you used a typewriter?

[mono]

Years ago, in early highschool, when my family's computer would not work, and I had a paper to type, so I used my mother's nostalgic, ancient-looking typewriter. The paper took some time to write, due to the keys feeling so stubborn.

To the person below me: same question.

[Rachy]

When my grandad died and we got his typewriter for memories, about six years ago!

How old were you when you first fell in love?

[Koa]

I don't think I've ever really fell in love... IF it was love, then I was 20, but i hope love is something better than that.............

Q: do you sleep with teddybears? If not, when did you stop? ;) :D

[Helga]

I stopped sleeping with teddies when I was 15 and got Spock, he didn't want to share our bed with the 15 teddybears I had. They are in a bag under my bed...

below:same Q?

[ajoe]

'_' ... I never had a teddy bear. I did try to sleep with one doll I had, but I was a really messy sleeper and when I woke up he was lying on the floor. I wasn't attached to my dolls in that way anyway. (I used them mainly to act the bizarre plays I created. :p)

Why do you think some people can be so superficial? (At the moment I have in mind girls who scream, "omgz orlando bloom and brad pitt are hott!!")

[Molko]

I think that some people are superficial because they havent had time (or maybe dont want) to mature. They only see life on a face value, rather than evaluating the important things.

To the person below me: same question

[Jay]

Have you never just looked at someone and went 'omg, s/he's so hot!'? Though I think what most teenage girls do is downright silly and kind of... well, really annoying and disgusting.

Do you listen to music/news/whatever while reading? If so, what do you prefer for background 'noise'?

[mono]

I can tolerate almost any kind of background while reading, unless it requires my full attention (such as reading in-depth philosophy, poetry, or school textbooks). I usually do enjoy some background music, however, usually classical, such as by Antonio Vivaldi, Frederic Chopin, Richard Wagner, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, or Edvard Grieg, to name a few.

To the person below me: same question. :)

[ajoe]

Not really. I tend to pay attention more to the music than to what I'm reading, so unless I'm reading a magazine or a comic book, I usually have the music off.

Describe your thumb and be vivid.

[Molko]

Well, my thumb is small and slender. It's a very petite thumb. The nail is long and filed; well manicured. Umm....I cant really write much more about my thumb :(

To the person below me: Do you have a particular routine you stick to each morning? If so, do you get annoyed if your routine is disrupted?

[Helga]

I want to have a routine to follow everyday but I don't have one in the morning. But if any of my routines are interrupted I get really confused and take a few moments to get my head together...

below: have you read :The Colour Purple, if so did you like it and if not then why not?

[mono]

I have not read it yet, but I have heard wonderful things; regardless, I loved the movie. I have heard great things about all of Alice Walker's works, of which I have not read, but I suppose I look more into her mentor (practically), Zora Neale Hurston.

To the person below me: have you ever fainted, if so, under what circumstances?

[Émilie]

Yes, once, when my sister cut herself and was bleeding. She fainted, then my dad did and I did. It was pretty freaky...

same question...

[amuse]

no, but i've passed out a couple of times. nothing romantic and silly (i.e. swooning over some swain). :lol:

have you ever rescued a hapless small animal?

[mono]

Yes, about a year ago, while living near a housing development under construction, my roommates and I heard a loud, continuous, crying meow. We searched for nearly two hours, until we found a kitten trapped in one of the heater vents of a house under construction; sadly, due to it having metal walls, the kitten could not jump out. The vet estimated her at about two to three weeks old, so my roommates and I bottle-fed her for about a month. Now she belongs to one of our friends, has gained much weight, and lives happy.

To the person below me: same question.

[Helga]

Bees, all the time, a pidgin once. But when I was 3 years old I was at a farm with my parents and we saw a dead bird stuck in a window, my mom told me that I cried and demanded we would bury him before we went back home..

have you seen all six Star wars movies?

[Émilie]

no, none actually

same question

[mono]

Yes, the first one.

To the person below me: what book (fiction or non-fiction) has brought out the biggest reaction out of you (positive or negative)?

[Molko]

Hmmmm......It would be a toss between the Brothers Karamazov and Brave New World :) Both in a positive way

To the person below me: Have you heard of a band called the Mars Volta? :p

[Jay]

That would be a no. They any good?

Are you in love?

[kilted exile]

Nope (not even completely sure what love is)

What are you proud of doing over the last week?

[Molko]

That would be a no. They any good?

I think they're an excellent band; but to each is their own taste :p

Im quite proud of the fact that I was able to finish all my assignments as well as study for a calculus test

To the person below me: which do you find more memorable: sad or happy memories?

[Jay]

In time they all fade no matter how happy or sad they were.

Assuming you own a cell phone, would you be able to spend a month without using it?

[Molko]

Yes, and I know this from experience!

If you were washed away on an island and could only have one thing with you, what would it be? And why?

[Jay]

A fully furnished house, everything included (understand a reasonably good comp with net connection :p)

same question

[Molko]

That's a good one Jay! At the moment, I cannot think of anything clever so I'd probably just bring along water....:p

If you could live during any era, what would it be and why? (e.g ancient rome, during the time of christ, the 70's etc)

[Jay]

I think this one was asked before, anyways, my reply is still the same: anytime they had/have/will have horses around :p (and comps with net connection as well of course ;))

*edit* forgot to ask... and originality is getting the better out of me: same question :D

[Molko]

I would love to live during the early (or is it late???) 19th century *contemplates if that is the right century* when many scientific revolutions were made...Einstein's theory of relativety, atomic structure, structure of DNA......etc.....

Would you travel through a black hole to see what was on the other end, knowing that there is a strong chance of you dying during the process?

[Jay]

If you're thinking Stargate, sure, if you're thinking that that bit about 'huge gravitation field would probably tear you into tiny smidgens', nope, thanks :D

Ever wanted to met someone from Atlantis? (not the Stargate kinda...all these nasty aliens running around :D)

[Molko]

hehehe, yes if the person was interesting enough...

If you could uncover any mystery of the universe, what would it be?

[Jay]

Not really sure I'd wanted to :)... thought maybe the possibility of inteligent life in the universe

same question

[Molko]

Hmmmm maybe how the universe was created or why it even exists....

If you could swap brains with anyone (alive or dead) who would it be?

[Jay]

Depends on for how long I'd keep that brain. I could use some for exams and stuff like that but I kind of got used to mine and the way it works.., or not for the matter :D

Ever wanted to be someone else? If so, whom and why?

[Molko]

Ive always wanted to be several people, just to experience what their life would be like. Few that pop into mind are Einstein, Aldous Huxley and Sir Issac Newton

If you could have any supernatural ability what would it be and why?

[Jay]

Any? apparating :p

same question

[Molko]

The ability to move objects with my mind! Im sooooo lazy :p

If you were forced to eat bugs for survival, would you do it?

[Jay]

yuck, lol, nope, though if I were half starved I might, lol

same question, lol

[amuse]

if i had to? maybe i would die first (or die from the horror, not sure). :confused:

[Jay]

Would you prefer your bugs moving or you'd rather them being nicely dead? :D

[mono]

No question?
Oh well, I will continue from the last one: no, I would not eat bugs. Dignity, for me, extends a little further than that, and I cannot decide if I could still call myself vegetarian. :lol:

To the person below me: right now, what surrounds you as you read this?

[Nightshade]

A pile of Roald Dahl books
Inspector Linley on the TV
Sister studying for exam (What I should be doing!)
Laptop bag
yellow pages
Christian aid "omlete or chicken" leaflett
Garden DIY
thats about it
Littlest sister is dancing around!

PBM-
Have you ever eaten shark??

[Rachy]

No! I hate anything that comes from the Sea, though I would try it if it was offered as I'll try anything once!

Person Below Me:
Marmite: Love it or Hate it?

[Snukes]

Gah! *turns green, rolls over, plays dead*

Well, while on spreadable bread-toppers, how does the person below me feel about peanut butter? What's your favorite bread-spread? :)

[mono]

I actually love peanut butter, so much that as a child, I would eat it plain, slowly, on spoons. As to the second part of your question, I would still have to call extra-crunchy peanut butter my favorite spread. Mmmm! :)

To the person below me: how many times, if any, have you flown in a plane, and did you feel comfortable in the air?

[Molko]

I have flown numerous times and in all the times I have flown, not once have I ever felt comfortable. I get badly 'air-sick' and cannot stop going to the bathroom

To the person below me: same question

[Nightshade]

Too many to count and I love it pity Im too short and dont fit the @presentable@ criteria for Air stewardess or Id be flying!!

[Monica]

No question? I'll answer the previous one. I've flown something like three times and I enjoyed it very much. I especially liked the view of the clouds. They looked like you could touch them. I would like to fly at night to see the stars.

where are you planning to go on holiday?

[Scheherazade]

I will be adventurous and visit the library in the next town rather than the one we have here.

When was the last time you played hop scotch?

[Nightshade]

That would be a couple of summers ago now!
If you could be anyone who would you be?

[Snukes]

I like me a lot! I definitely wouldn't trade. The sorts of people we usually *think* we want to be are definitely not the sorts of people we really want to be, I think. ;) I've learned to deal with myself pretty well by now, so I guess I'll stick with it. (I've got a good life. No question.)

If there's anyone in the world you would NOT want to be, who is it?

[Nightshade]

err anyone who is a celeb or famous too much pressure!
same question!

[mono]

After seeing a popular film recently, probably John Malkovich (from Being John Malkovich http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120601/). Nah, honestly, I would have to agree with Nightshade, not wanting to exist as someone really famous, though it seems a typical dream for artists and politicians. :p

To the person below me: do you eat fast food?

[Jay]

Occasionally

On what occasion did you get a book for a present? (doesn't really have to be a day of any significance as long as you were presented a book :p)

[Molko]

For my 14th birthday. It was quite a while back.

To the person below me: same question

[Nightshade]

uh does buying it for myself as a present count?? ;)
Chrismas 2003 I got the Big Read book of books -which is basically a catalog of all the big read books bakground s ect. :D
PBM same question

[GruesomeBugman]

my last birthday, so a few months ago.
it was "an inordinate fondness for beetles" not much by way of literature, and not very technical, but enjoyable no less.

have you ever eaten an insect/bug/arachnid? did you enjoy it?

[Helga]

no, I don't think so, I hope not since I'm a vegetarian...

below: do you believe in marrige?

[kilted exile]

Not really, but if I was with someone who felt it was important to get married I would.

What is your earliest memory?

[Snukes]

Watching the helicopters land "in my backyard." We lived in park housing in Yellowstone. I don't even know what the hellicopters were doing there, but I loved to watch the orange windsock. I was three.

Good question. I pass it along.

[papayahed]

I think it may have been of my grandfathers brown transistor radio and listening to baseballs games on the thing.

same question

[Rachy]

When I was two and in my old house. I remember the hallway and looking up the stairs. Another one is flying kites with my Grandad at the Race Course, not sure what one came first!

Same question

[Jay]

Sister hitting me with a small bucket thingy with which kids play in the sand, it was winter and we were out with the other kindergarden kids, the bucket was full of ice and she hit me in the forehead (explaining SO much things already, isn't it? :p), and then mum (she was working in the kindergarden then) trying to push the swelling away with a huge honkin knife (remember her saying something about its cool blade and something like that). Don't even remember why I was hit *sulks* :D

same question

[Monica]

I remember flying kites with my best friend. I don't remember how old I was, though. But the kites wouldn't fly :(

what is calculus?

[Jay]

calculus (http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/DictionaryResults.aspx?refid=1861594124)

calculus again (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=calculus)

for example this (http://www.wtv-zone.com/Angelaruth49/Calculus.html#intro)

[Émilie]

What about the question ?

[Jay]

Oh, right, well, what about "what is your earliest memory?" :p

[amuse]

the atlantic ocean out of my left side window seat. was between 1.5 and 2 years old. dad wasn't with us, i recall - found out later that this was accurate; he'd gone home complements of the air force on another plane.

same question (should it be a new thread ;) ?)

[Nightshade]

Im not sure what my earliset memory is it may be one of four Im not quite sure which!
1- (probably the earliest) snow in sweden when I was two (have to say didnt see snow again till I was 16!) I turn around and see my mum in the doorway with my sister also the snow is so deep my dad has to carry me!
2- My much older male cousin locking me in a room and shooting one of those toy guns over and over at my head all I real remember is fear! I still dont like loud noise over much!
________________________________________________
wait I remember now Its at a friends house\ and I remmber my mum saying Dont make a mess with that polystern Auntie --- doesnt need it ! Funny thing is I couldnt remeber who the little boy I was playing with or who the Auntie was until I was 8 and we saw them again then it suddenly clicked!

[amuse]

hmm...i don't like loud noises either.
are you extremely hypersensitive to sound?

[Nightshade]

Im answering this one coz Im bored!!
Not pariticullay just s long as its not banging like those guns Im fine In a house as big as mine we are always shouting yelling falling over each other ect.

same question

[amuse]

gawd yes - i whipped my head around because i thought a car was getting too close to me...it was almost a whole block away. and i've always been able to hear people whispering in the next room. used to be called "Funnel Ears" when i was small. not so very unlike madonna, hmmm? :D

same question

[mono]

Wow, popular question.
I must have aged 2 years or younger (since my parents split at just above 2 years of my age). Anyway, late at night, I woke up with a jump from a nightmare, got out of my bed onto the cold floor, and looking at my older brother, sleeping on the top bunk of our bed. I walked quiety out of the room, took a left turn into my parents' room, and stopped at the door, watching them sleep, as I still felt a little dazed. On a shelf to my right sat a small cactus plant, and, remembering my parents always told me to never touch it, curiosity took over, and I touched it, getting poked. I jumped back, and let out a little cry, then cuddled between my parents in their bed, and fell asleep with no more nightmares.

To the person below me: what pet, in your life, have you loved most?

[Monica]

My guinea pig, Oscar. She (it was a she, although Oscar) died in February at the age of 5 :bawling:

same question

[Nightshade]

:bawling: Marmalade my cat got lost when i was 8
same q!

[Snukes]

Murray, fat white cat who functioned best as an inner-knee warmer at night.

Or maybe Bunny, my stuffed pink rabbit.

How old were you when (if!) you gave up on your comfort blanket/toy/object, and whatever became of it?

[Helga]

I had a 'teddy dog' I named Garpur, the Icelandic name for the He-man action figure but I lost him while traveling around the country when I was 4. then I got a fox I named Mori when I was six, but I had to give him up among 16 others when I was 15 and got Spock, but I still have them all.

same Q?

[kilted exile]

I had a puppet thing, until I was around 6 and decided to tie it to a helium balloon I had got from a carnival. I let the balloon go and the puppet flew away - I cried like a baby that night.

same Q.

[mono]

I have had a few teddy bears in my life that I prized very much, and still own them, though they now rest in some boxes in my attic for many years now, to avoid the natural wear-and-tear. I still have a quilt, that my great-grandmother gave me weeks after my birth; as a child, I had a bit of a Linus complex (from Charles Schultz's Peanuts), always carrying around the quilt:
http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/fun_and_games/images/linus_march.gif
To this present day, I still sleep with it every night, as it still exists in relatively mint condition. :blush:

To the person below me: same question.

[Molko]

I had this baby pillow that I always used to carry with me. I couldnt sleep without it. I would still have had it to this day if it werent for my cat. What happened was *starts blushing* my cat was locked in my room by accident one time when I went out. When I came back I found that she had did her business on my pillow! I think I was 11 at the time :D

To the person below me: has your week been stressful. If so, why?

[Nightshade]

yes... exams coming too hot cant sleep bad pillow and my sisters just gone and broken her ankle on a trampaline! Also Im trying to convince my mum to buy a BBQ soon! :D

PBM same q :nod:

[Isagel]

A bit. One of my coworkers has quit and we haven´t found a replacement yet, and I have been on sickleave for a while, but strangely the paperwork has kept on piling up. I think small elfes comes and leaves it on my desk. My garden looks like a jungle. Perhaps the elfes plant weeds as well?

Why do deer eat strawberry plants and tulips, but not weeds?

[Molko]

Hmmmm Im not too sure, but maybe they just know what is good for them and instinctively know what to avoid. Its just like rabbits, they dont eat particular foods which arent good for their digestive tract. I dont know, maybe its an evolutionary thing????

To the person below me: same question :D

[kilted exile]

Ok, I did a little quick research & this is what I have been able to find:
from http://wvgardengate.homestead.com/files/Oh_Dear_Deer_Diet.htm
"Toxicity is one of the most common reasons deer leave particular plant families unharmed. Examples of this include the ranunculaceae family (native buttercups), aquilegia (columbine) and daffodils."
"These plants are usually left alone for several reasons--they are toxic to wildlife, the aroma of the plant is repulsive, foliage is too fuzzy or plants include prickly parts that make it difficult to eat."
from http://home.adelphia.net/~geffert/food.htm
"Nuts:

These include both red and white acorns, beechnuts and hickory nuts. Acorns are low in protein but high in carbohydrates, the best source of energy. If acorns are plentiful in your area you can bet the deer will be eating them to put on the extra weight that is need to survive the winter. Whitetails prefer the white oak acorn most of all. It has a sweeter taste that the red oak acorn.

Plants:

Non-woody plants are very important to the deer especially during the Fall months. Deer graze on grasses, sedges, and ferns. Plants usually appear after a fire. These areas become very lush and attract large concentrations of deer. Plants also thrive along roads, forest openings, powerlines, and at the edges of fields.

Woody Plants:

Deer turn to woody stems or twigs (called browse) after the leaf fall. Because "browse" is poor in nutrition deer will eat it only if nothing else is available. An example of the woody plants that deer eat are: maples, dogwoods, aspen, blueberry, hemlock, poison ivy, honeysuckle, sumac, poplar and chokecherry.

Mushrooms:

Deer eat the highly nutritious mushroom as a supplement to their diet. Many species that are deadly to man are consumed by deer.

Farm Crops:

Clover, alfalfa, corn, winter wheat, oats, soybeans, peas, sweat potatoes, and apples are only a few of the crops consumed by the deer. These crops are very important to the deer after all acorns are eaten. These may be the only food available to them when winter sets in."

Did you bother to read all this? :D

[amuse]

yes, after i read the jeering smiley. :D :p

[mono]

No question, amuse?

Oh well, to answer the question above, yes, kilted exile, I read the whole message - well done on your extensive research! :)

To the person below me: do you have allergies, and, if so, to what?

[Molko]

Hmmmmm....I have an allergy to pollen. But apart from that I cant think of any.

Same question

[amuse]

yes, to cigarettes and dust.

is it hard for you not to give advice?

[mono]

On the contrary, I have difficulty giving advice. Receiving advice does not bother me, but only if I ask. I like to think that the answer to any question and the solution to any ethical dilemma resides already in someone's intuition, which requires little advice, unless requested. Most of the time, I attempt helping friends/family/whoever finding the solution within themselves, as cliché as it sounds.

To the person below me: same question.

[Isagel]

(Thank you Kilted exile - I will use this knowledge to build a deer unfriendly garden of daffodils.)

It is hard, but I try to keep my mouth shut unless asked. "Hush my mouth and I will give you sugar" my grandmother says.

Do you talk out loud to people in movies or books trying to change their course of action?

[mono]

Not really, except when watching Jeopardy, which I try to watch regularly, but seldom find the time. Otherwise, I will often verbalize things about characters - "that Dorian Gray - what an odd, young man."

To the person below me: what kind of coffee and/or tea do you most enjoy?

[GruesomeBugman]

dandilion tea would likely have to be my favorite, but I find it hard to come by.

same question to the person below me.

[Isagel]

Any fair trade coffee. No slave labour, same amount of caffeine.
Why do you write?

[Rachy]

I like to put down the kinds of things that I would like to read. I have a huge imagination and to put it down on paper is a huge release!

Same question!

[GruesomeBugman]

to have something to read in the future that can ermind me of past thoughts.

what sort of car, if any, do you drive?

[papayahed]

I drive a '98 Dodge Neon. It's not the best car out there but it gets me to my destination.

What time do you generally get up in the morning?

[Isagel]

06:15 ( well actually I wake 6:15 , hog the blanket and wait for my fiance to make breakfast. I go up when he calls and says breakfast is ready, about 15 minutes later. I´m not a morning person. )

What do you eat for breakfast? Do you eat breakfast?

[Rachy]

I don't eat breakfast! I know I should but it really doesn't appeal to me! When I find something worth eating I will!

Do you listen to Queen? Why?

[GruesomeBugman]

sometimes, if they're on the radio, but they're nothing amazing in my mind.

Do you speak more than one language?

[GruesomeBugman]

yes, two.

Have you lived in more than one continent?

[Émilie]

no, only one.

What countries have you lived in ?

[GruesomeBugman]

canada, sweden.

do you enjoy opera?

[Jay]

Not yet.

What would you have for lunch if you didn't have to cook it, pay for it, do the dishes afterwards... just eat it and enjoy a good meal?

[kilted exile]

Roast leg of lamb, mint sauce, mashed potatoes, roasted carrot & parsnip chips. :nod:

What is the stupidest thing you've done to win a bet?

[GruesomeBugman]

one time I ate a large chunk of mirror, took tiny shards at a time, it went suprisingly well, and the only damage was a small scratch on my lip.

...I have no idea why I agreed to it, but when I was a kid I did things of that nature all the time.

have you ever driven a dogsled?

[mono]

Never, but it looks like much fun. :)

To the person below me: what time do you usually go to sleep every night?

[Bianca Fransen]

Wow, 8 hours before I have to get up ;) . I try to make it as late as I can (I like night time), but usually have to be in bed by 23.00 o'clock (ouch, I am Dutch and do not know whether this is 11 o'clock pm or am :mad: )

For the person below me:
who is your favorite relative and why?

[mono]

Good question - I love all of my family, but I may have to choose my father (a very insightful, wise, and patient man).

To the person below me: same question.

[GruesomeBugman]

my father, for many reasons.

person below me - same question.

[papayahed]

Dead - my grandfather because he used to play catch with me even though he had a bad leg.
Alive - my uncles I think I can pick both because their twins

What's your funniest memory involving a member of your family?

[GruesomeBugman]

when I was little we were all watching jeopardy, we had recently rearranged the furniture in the TV room, and my mother got coffee for herself and my father.
While we were watching, she took a sip of her coffee and when she went to put it on the sidetable, she forget we'd rearranged the room, and simply dropped it on the floor, it shattered, and she didn't clue in for quite a while.
Nothing amazing, But we all laughed for quite a while.

person below me - same question I suppose =)

[Bongitybongbong]

one day my little brother was being a censored and I told him to jump off the roof. a few minutes later I saw him falling outside.(he actually listened to me)
Are you a Sith lord?

[GruesomeBugman]

no.

are you afraid of spiders?

[Jay]

Not really, don't love them but I wouldn't be found screaming and trying to find the nearest table to climb if one was in the same room. Actually, the big ones are quite cute if they're not currently trying to bite you. Though getting one to let go of your hand can get funny, it has eight legs while you have only one hand left to try to get it to let go :goof:

What are you most afraid of?

[Bongitybongbong]

*laughs* ell no

have you been banned from more than 5 forums?

[GruesomeBugman]

no.

afraid of insects or "bugs" in general?

[Jay]

*edit* lol, getting confusing :p

[mono]

No question?
Oh well, I will continue from GruesomeBugman's question - no, I have no actual fear of insects and/or bugs, unless, of course, I felt very threatened by a harmful one, like a scorpion, or something.

To the person below me: I like kilted exile's question -

What is the stupidest thing you've done to win a bet?

[Molko]

Hmmm.... Ive never really gone out of my way to win a bet. But, I've always said Id bet my life on it (that im sure on something) to prove a point :D

To the person below me: same question

[Jay]

Can't remember me ever betting before, lol.

Since my answer was very helpful, same question :p

[Bongitybongbong]

I won a bet by using half of the favors my friends owe me, rigging a sports game at any level (a minor league game for baseball) is hard.

same question

[mono]

The second stupidest thing: eating 'statistically' the most spicy sauce of the Western United Stated. Taking a recommended 1/10 of a drop, my eyes welled with tears, I felt really sick to my stomach, and I could only taste that in my mouth for hours. :rolleyes:

To the person below me: favorite candy and/or junk food?

[Molko]

hmmm....my favourite all time junk food would have to be chocolate chip ice cream with hot fugde over the top :)

To the person below me: what's your pet peeve?

[mono]

I have many pet peeves, actually, but probably the biggest one involves unnecessary noise, or "noise pollution." :rage:
Silly, I know.

To the person below me: same question.

[GruesomeBugman]

I don't know that I have a pet peeve, not really.
But I do use a public place to do my laundry, sinse my apartment doesn't have the required tools to hooko up my old washer/dryer, and it does annoy me when people don't clean the lint traps after use... a the risk of sounding like a jackass, some of those people are overly dirty, and I'd like to avoid cleaning their lint, clean lint or not =)

below me - same question.

[Bongitybongbong]

I hate hypocrites.

same question

[Nightshade]

presumptions and assumptions ( and by the way they are not the same thing!)

PBM same q

[mono]

Another pet peeve - excessive immodesty.

To the person below me: same question (I like this one :)).

[Rachy]

Pet Peeve? I would have to say people criticising things they haven't tried, like I want to go to Uni and my friend talks about like, what's the point? But it might be her opinion, but this is my opinion so respect it, I'm respecting yours! Does that make sense?

Same question!

[Bongitybongbong]

Hypocrites.

Do you dance well?

[kilted exile]

This depends on the type of dancing: I can waltz, jig, mosh, and i think I can still remember how to tap. However I am completely unable to do nightclub dancing.

same question.

[Nightshade]

I have never been in a situtation when I have had to attempt to dance so dont know but concidering myngeneral lack of co-ordination I would say no! :lol: Nanna Here can do it instead :banana: :banana: .

[Bongitybongbong]

No idea but it will be big!

Do you listen to RATM?

[Jay]

Not really.

What's your fave singer/band/composer...?

[mono]

Way too difficult to narrow down, as I listen to many different types of music.
Favorites in classical music who come to mind: Fredéric Chopin, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Richard Wagner, Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude Debussy, and Edvard Grieg.
Favorites in alternative rock: Radiohead, Björk, Fiona Apple, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Led Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, and A Perfect Circle.

I like this question, so I will plagarize freely: Where is your secret place, the place you go to find tranquility, the place that makes you feel centered, gives you peace of mind? Is it a favorite chair while you have a cup of tea? Or someplace or some thing else?

[Molko]

My favourite place, odd as it may seem, is at my kitchen table. That's where I do everything - eat, study, listen to music, etc (this excludes sleeping of course ;) ) I feel most at rest doing everything there, but for what reason Im not too sure...

I like this question too, so the person below me: same question

[Isagel]

Ok - I have two - the first one is the dancefloor. Loud music and being caught in the rythm makes me at ease. My second not very secret place is my cottage. I like to sit on the stairs outside and look at the blackbird take a morning bath, before I chop wood. I really enjoy chopping wood, and doing the heavy gardening like taking down trees.

What do you like to do?

I like going out with friends......stuff of the sort and stuff.

I have a few places, depending on my mood: introspection, my favorite chair at my favorite coffeehouse (Java Vivacé), my local library, and two very nature-oriented areas - a place called Washington Park (that has lots of rose gardens, landscaping art, and scenery) and Sauvie Island.

How do you feel about drinking bottled water?

[kilted exile]

Ok, there are a lot of myths surrounding bottled water & most of them are nonsense. There are only two reasons to drink bottled water:
1) There has been an advisory put out with regards to the safety of your tap water (from an accreditted source, not just because jimbob said so)
2) Taste preferrence for hard/soft water: eg live in parts of the world where tap water is soft, dink bottled water if you prefer the taste of hard water.
The most stupid kinds of bottled water are Aquafina & Dasani. You can quite easily make these yourself: step 1: boil tap water. step 2: collect steam in another container. step 3: allow to cool. step 4: drink your demineralized water.
Of course this is completely unnecessary if you live in areas of soft water, as your water is already demineralized.

Do you leave the library books back in time?

[Snukes]

I try Oh So Hard! Lately, I've been checking books out from more than one library (three), and I must say - considering the due dates I've been juggling, my fines have been remarkably low! :)

How do you feel about napping? (I'm discovering that "how do you feel" questions might get more than a one-word answer!)

Very adorable and frequently hyperactive, but probably because I consider myself more of a cat-person.

What is the most stupid holiday?
