Game: Ask the Person Below You

[adilyoussef]

It would be the power of the tong. To write my dear and marvel the world with such beautiful books that will never die. For me, writing is the most powerful superpower one can have. At least, although dead, something will remind people of me.

Have you ever written a piece of literature and be published? (Anything: novel, poem, short story, or any book) Mantion the title(s) if so.

[smilingtearz]

won't call them a peice of literature...but yeah around a dozen of my poems have been published in the my college and school magazines...and the church news bulletins
...would that be counted...
names...urgh...i'll check up and tell ya!...but four favs. were
1)From the bottom of my heart
2)A Friend
3)The Sacrifice
4)Divinity

SAME QUESTION>

[Riesa]

Not literature, but I used to write a few independent film reviews for a city paper in New York. It's been years though.

same question.

[kilted exile]

I wrote an article for The Evening Times (Scottish daily newspaper) on the state of Scottish football/soccer/whatever, which was printed with a photo byline.

What is your favourite cheesy Christmas pop song?

[papayahed]

It's on a CD called Christmas in Detroit. It was written and sung by Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie guy), I can't think of the name of it but it has the line "Hanging up stockings and drinking my wine." It made me want to drink wine.

Same Question since I gave such a crappy answer.

[Riesa]

Winter Wonderland


Would you force your child to take something he doesn't like, i.e. Piano..because you think it would be good for him/her?

[papayahed]

Yes. Sort of... I would encourgage them to try everything they show an interest in, but if there is no interest shown in anything I would strongly encourage them to try different things and to at least see the class/program through before making a decision.

Same Question

[Nightshade]

Yes what else is school? And its like vegetables you grow to like them the more you have them
sameQ

[AimusSage]

Would you force your child to take something he doesn't like, i.e. Piano..because you think it would be good for him/her?

Yes, definately. I would drill them so they become my own personal army. It's all part of my evil masterplan to take over the world! :D

On a more serious note: While I do not think I will ever have the desire to have children, if by some mishap I do happen to have one, I will encourage him/her to do certain things, like take up sports, or learn to play an instrument. I will not force the matter, and I will not force the child to keep an agenda that is booked full. Free play time is at least as important for the development of a child, especially with other children. Otherwise I would end up with a highly skilled, but socially inept child.

next question: What is for you the most important character trait your (future)significant other needs to have/has?

[Pendragon]

next question: What is for you the most important character trait your (future)significant other needs to have/has?Her most important character trait and one that has kept us together (we celebrate 26 years on the 21st) is this: she was my best friend. We could talk to each other about anything. Even when we were dating other people in high school, it was to each other we turned when trouble arose. Finially we came to our senses and realized that if we had each other we didn't need the other people. :nod:

But a lot of you are younger than I am, and the question has great potential. I gladly pass it on.

What is the best thing about winter?

[Pensive]

Nearly Everything But Specially Dry Fruits and Cold.

Same Question! (good one)

[Riesa]

It doesn't last forever.

same Q

[Miss Darcy]

Snow! :D...the frost on the windows, the white mist of your own breath, the delicious cold, the leafless skeletons of trees, the cosy fire inside, the ice-skating, the skiing, the ethereal beauty...

Same question.

[Monica]

Ice-skating on a frozen lake (although a bit dangerous at times - once the ice cracked under me. fortunately my dad was around)

What do you like the most about Christmas??

[Kaltrina]

the atmosphere, everyone shopping, cooking, the love that is felt in the air... it gives me such a thrill....

same q.

[smilingtearz]

rum cakes....yummmy...santa claus, carols and family get togethers!

same Q

[sirgalahad]

:lol: I love it and I hate it; depends if I'm out in the cemetery or at the movies.

And which author in your opinion best represents the 'spirit of the age' in which we now live?

[Monica]

Umberto Eco :banana:

same q

[adilyoussef]

I don't know.

What is your favorite playwrite?

[Pendragon]

It depends on whether I am to watch the play or read it. If I must read the play, Oscar Wilde. If I am going to watch one, Shakespeare.

Same question.

[Miss Darcy]

Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare!!!!!!

Same question...

[Isagel]

At the moment I would say Lorca. "The house of Bernarda Alba" is one of my favorites. I think we have discussed Lorca in general literature, if anyone is interested.

Any reading tips for me? (Right now I am reading The courage to create, by Rollo May, and Nights master by Tanith Lee. It´s all in the mix :-) )

[papayahed]

I'll say shakes, only because he's the only one I can think of at the moment...

What is your favorite flavor of coffee/tea?

[Riesa]

Coffee: cold, black, with cream, day old, hazelnut, macciato, latte, anything but sweetened. Tea:Earl Grey with cream, chamomile.

Same Q

[Weeping Willow]

I drink a non real coffee dusty thing called "Elit" coffee.. it is so weak that people think it's sand! but i love it!!!
As for tea.. the regular old Wisotzky one..

Same Question PLease!!!!!!

[emily655321]

:sick: Blech, I don't like coffee. Tea, I like African red teas a lot. I tried one that was made with oranges, and it was beautiful and wonderful. When I'm sitting at home on a snowy morning, I like a strong black tea with milk and sugar. The type I drink the most, though, is just green tea with lots of honey, when I get a cold it's my medicine.

I like this question. Same one.

[Kaltrina]

I mostly like cappuccino but also Turkish coffee that we make at home... and as for tea I like black tea with lots of lemon, chamomile with honey, blueberry, strawberry and peach flavour tea... :D

Same question...

[Miss Darcy]

I don't drink coffee, but for tea I like herbals. My favourites are chamomile (preferably fresh chamomile) and licorice tea. Licorice tea is absolutely delicious. I don't like the confectionary, though...

PBM: Do you drink {alcohol}, or are you a teetotaller? :rolleyes:

[Pendragon]

I don't drink coffee, but for tea I like herbals. My favourites are chamomile (preferably fresh chamomile) and licorice tea. Licorice tea is absolutely delicious. I don't like the confectionary, though...

PBM: Do you drink {alcohol}, or are you a teetotaller? :rolleyes:
Well, I have nothing against alcohol in moderation, such a wine with meals, but I am a teetotaller out of neccessity. The medications I must take every day, three times a day do not mix well with any sort of alcohol, and would probably be fatal. So I cannot, but I do not say people who do and can control consumtion are wrong. My dad was an alcoholic so bad that he would even drink after-shave, so I've seen the ugly side also. Moderation is the key. ;)

I'll pass the question, and give someone else a shot! (drumroll!)

[papayahed]

Yes I drink alcohol. In fact last night I had a few bottles of beer.


Same question?

[Kaltrina]

Yes I drink alcohol but only on celebrations...


same q.

[Weeping Willow]

Well i don't drink alcohol on a daily bacis just when i want mostly when i'm with friends.. (but don't tell my friend !! she'll kill me if she'll hear me say stuff like I don't always like beer.. ok.. so Ssshhhhhh....... it's our little secret!!!.)
:D

Next question: Do you have dreams on people in this Forum?

[smilingtearz]

Oh yes I do!! I have dreams involving the forums and the people in it

same ques

[IrishCanadian]

No, I seldom remember my dreams. Actually up until a week before last Christmas I hadent recalled a dream for nearly 3 years. Then i had three in a row each about friends that i love but haddent seen in a very long time. It kind of kreeped me out. Since Christmastime I have forgotten every dream again.
Do you dance?

[Weeping Willow]

Only if i'm Drunk.. :blush:....

SaME QuEsTIoN PLeAzE:

[Miss Darcy]

Uh, I took ballet lessons as a six-year-old, does that count? :D

Same question.

[papayahed]

I've been know to shake my groove thang'

Same Question: Do you Dance?

[Riesa]

Love to dance, and drink! Great combination. But it's rare that I do both at the same time.

Would you ask a stranger to dance?

[Miss Darcy]

No, I think it would be beneath female dignity. :D

Same q.

[IrishCanadian]

All the time .... but i'm all about the dancing.
Same question: would you ask a stranger to dance?

[emily655321]

No, I'm shy that way. But I like ballroom dancing (Vermont Contra Dancing is awesome! I also took a course in tango at school). If it's ballroom dancing, I prefer someone else to ask me. If it's in a club, I'll dance by myself, thank you very much!

Do you prefer ballroom dancing, club dancing, ballet, etc... or nothing at all?

[IrishCanadian]

YES .. as in --yes!
Same question

[adilyoussef]

The last. Nothing at all. I prefer a book instead.

Do you like music? Which kind?

[IrishCanadian]

Thats an intence question adilyoussef. Blues, folk(Celtic folk, not country), classic rock, oldies, swing, jazz, classical (esp Beethoven) ...
Same question ... I'm interested

[Weeping Willow]

Oh.. you've just open a gate to .. well don't know excectly where but a place with lots alots of stuff.. :lol:...
Lets see:
Rock, Jazz, classic, R&B, Latin, Celtic, Funk, Prograsive, Heberw music.. and many many more.. since all of them contain so much more.. like rock contains... so much styles!.... Punk rock! fusion (which is not really rock but more jazzy funky thingy....) and many many more... any how the question of Music styles is too big to answer ...

[emily655321]

May I assume that you meant to ask the same question, Willow? I will, then.

I like mostly progressive/alternative rock. But I also like classical (especially Chopin), techno, Celtic, American folk, ragtime jazz, and... stuff like that.

If you are/were to be a famous musician, what sort of music would you play?

[Weeping Willow]

Oppss... :blush: sorry.....

Jazz... surly..

SamE QueSTiOn PlEazE:

[adilyoussef]

The music of my heart, the music of eyes, the music of silence, the music understood by you and me, the music of bodies, the music of love. I'd just look at the eyes of my beloved and let my heart sing. Poetry poetry poetry. Is not there such a beautiful music rhythmed by the beating of hearts than the music of love?

Do you feel happy with yourself?

[Pensive]

I am feeling quite happy.

Have you ever said anything to anyone which has embarrassed you?

Once when my friend was going out of the room, I asked her that where was she going. She replied that she was going to the toilet. I said "For What?"

Then both of us laughed but I felt a little ebarrassed and uneasy as well. Everyone in the room tittered.

[adilyoussef]

Yes, it hapened to me to hurt a girl emotionally bu being too cunning. I still don't understand women. But I'm learning from my past mistakes.

Have you ever been embarassed by what you have done? Anything

[smilingtearz]

Yeah, it was something i said to a guy, and what followed... It just made me red in the face...:blush:
I wouldn't mention it though

EDIT: okay I was a bit slow, that was an answer to Pensive's question...
..I don't particularly remember an occasion of being embarrased for something i had done, but I'm sure there have been times when such a thing happened...

what would be the two things you would like to do if you came to know that the world was ending tomorrow...you have just ONE MORE DAY TO LIVE..?

[adilyoussef]

Nothing if I'm pardoned, nothing if I'm not. What was done was done. If I could change my past, that all I would ask for.

What would you do if you came to know that you are going to die tomorrow?

[Weeping Willow]

I would go to sleep..... with tears in my eyes.... :(...


SaME QueStIOn PLeaZe:

[RobinHood3000]

Go hanggliding and indoor skydiving while I still had the chance, and seek out my girlfriend.

On what basis do you think character should be judged?

[emily655321]

Wow, good question, Robin.

Forgiveness. Not the "love the sinner, hate the sin" kind, where people just try to sound self-righteous but really feel very superior to the other person. Real forgiveness, when you still feel respect and love for the person who has wronged you. I'm not capable of that yet.

Same question.

[IrishCanadian]

I don't think that we necessarliy feel superior to the person when we carry the Love the sinner hate the sin concept. But your absoltely right> its sooo dificult not to. I think a charcter could be judged on every basis ... just not always in bad ways ... recall here the concept of removeing the log from your own eye before taking the speck from your neighbours. So its really tough to be true to yourself when you judge someone negatively ... not to say its not easy to do otherwise.
By the way regaurding the music question ... read this if you liked the poetry answere http://www.online-literature.com/byron/698/
And i'm rambling so ... same question

[Riesa]

I would go to sleep..... with tears in my eyes.... :(...


OH, Willow, I hope you never saw battle when you were in the army. You break my heart.

As for Robin's question:

Character should be judged on appearances. :goof:
I like Emily's answer. I think someone who is wise and doesn't feel superior
or just has a huge sorrowful understanding and love of the human condition would have the best character. Am I being confusing? It's late. :yawnb:
Great Question,
so same one.

[Pendragon]

Character is how you would act if you knew no one was watching and you were certain that you could get away with whatever you did. But to judge character, I'm uncertain that I'm qualified. Would my own character stand judgment? Better not go there, I think.

Good question to pass to someone else. So move.

[mingdamerciless]

oooo that really is difficult. well judging someones character is incredibly difficult. The mistake many people make is judging people on one situation or incident. Everyone has bad days, so you need to know someone before you judge them, but having said that first impressions are very important. For some people i agree with Riesa in that most people cannot hide their true personalities and whoever they are shines through in their eyes and characteristics so appearances are important but it certaintly can't be the only factor. There are too many qualities needed in a good character for me to list here, but basically as long as the good qualities balance out the bad ones, you've got a great person.

errrmmm crikey i guess im gonna be unoriginal and say same question yet again. soz but it's just such a great question, so many different answers and opinions

[papayahed]

hmmm judging someone's character might be a bit of a sticky wicket. You can change your behavior towards people based on past experience. Like for example I have a cousin that doesn't have a problem taking "stuff" - he comes over I hide my good "stuff". Is that judging? I don't think it is. Besides who made me a judge anyways.

What is your favorite outfit/article of clothing?

[Riesa]

Riding boots!!!!!

same Q

[RobinHood3000]

A good jacket/windbreaker. When you've got one of those, and you're standing tall in the path of a strong gust on a windy day, it makes you feel just like a hero.

I've also got a nice khaki trench coat that I rather like.


Same question--I'm curious.

[emily655321]

Oh, it changes all the time. I'm so fickle. I have a great, floor-length jean skirt I made out of a pair of those big, baggy, soft jeans I used to wear in high school (the kind you could practically fit two people in). But I've started on a new craze of making my own square-dance style skirts (comme ça (http://i1.tinypic.com/ncgy2b.gif)—and, no, I haven't been known to attend square dances), and I made one out of this fabric I found—it's pink gingham with purple, blue, and pink My Little Ponies (http://i1.tinypic.com/ncgwmv.jpg) on it. It rocks so hard.

Same question. I like it.

[Pendragon]

Usually some sort of hat, I'm big on them, from Cowboy hats to driving caps to snap brims. Especially as I grow older. Lends character.

Same question.

[IrishCanadian]

Depends ... on me? something with bottons (ie, a nicer shirt).
On girls I have to say that long skirts and long jackets are very very flattering.
Good question ... Whats you favorite outfit/article of clothing?

[papayahed]

I just got this pair of brown boots, sort of - they don't have backs. I really like the color of the brown leather, they look slightly worn. Love Them!!


ame question.

[Miss Darcy]

My black concert outfit (black top & skirt)...it has so many memories linked to it.

PBM: What's your favourite breakfast food?
Sorry. Couldn't resist...*straight face*

[IrishCanadian]

Breakfast is such a great meal! My favorite breakfast food is the breakfasts that I miss from Ireland. Its crazy! Yout fly over the Atlantic and suddenly brekfast tastes so much better (or worse depending on your direction) even though its the same thing.
So my fav breakfast: Blood Pudding, eggs, bacon, tomatoes (fried), and a roll. MMmmmmmMMMmmm!

[mingdamerciless]

Muffins! With cheese on. don't panic i mean savoury ones not the sweet ones. or bagels. mmmm cinnamon and raisin are rather scrumptious. i'm not a big fan of cooked breakfasts coz im a veggie so i dont eat most of it.

same question

[Pendragon]

I've never been big on breakfast. I eat pop-tarts which I share with Bugsy McHare, our pop-tart scarfing rabbit!

same question.

[papayahed]

Sausage, eggs, toast, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, I love it all!


Keeping on the food theme, what's your favorite beverage?

[IrishCanadian]

Depends--
On a warm summer afternoon I love a cold beer in the backyard ... but right now its cold and snowy,
So a hot chocolate would be nice.
Same question

[Whifflingpin]

When its cold and snowy, hot crambambuli;
On a warm summer evening, Horndean Special Bitter.

plenty of milage in this yet - same question

.

[RobinHood3000]

Shirley Temples or (virgin) Piña coladas, off the top of my head.

Same question!

[kilted exile]

Non - Alcoholic: Mango Shakes

Alcoholic: Isle Of Jura Single Malt



Same Question

[Pendragon]

Earl Grey Tea or Dr. Pepper. Can't have anything alcoholic. Doesn't mix with my medicine.

[Kaltrina]

Non-alcoholic: black and blueberry tea, and coffee.

Alcoholic: Red Wine

same q.

[Pensive]

Tea is my favourite drink because after drinking it, a person can hardly sleep for a few hours so it is a very useful drink especially in exams. :D

(Same Question)

[emily655321]

Right now, my favorite alcoholic drink is hot chocolate with ammaretto in it, vodka optional. Somehow hot milk/cream intensifies the alcoholic burn in an unexpectedly comforting way. Non-alcoholic for me usually means chilled water, a bottle of which I keep near me at all times, but really cold skim milk is pretty nice, too.

Next question: Do you like to cook your own meals? What is your favorite thing to cook (or, if someone else does it, to eat)?

[Ryduce]

The only thing I know how to cook is Captain Crunch.
It may be cliche,but I seriously can't boil water.Hence why god invented Taco Bell.





Same question I guess.

[Pensive]

No, I am not interested in cooking very much. I love my mother's "Baisan Tukerian"

Have you ever been slapped in your life? If then who slapped you and why?

[IrishCanadian]

Once when I was i think about 15 years old by an embarrassingly pretty girl who was annoyed at my talking too much. ( ... no grudges, thats what happens when your 15).
same question

[RobinHood3000]

Yes, once, when I made a crack at a girl's intelligence. She was bipolar, so she apologized profusely the next day, but I still insist that I had it coming. I couldn't chew straight for a week after that...

[kilted exile]

The last time I got slapped was due to making a comment to a girl whilst I was drunk.

same question

[emily655321]

Once, by my brother. He broke my glasses. The jerk. Also, sometimes I do it to myself to calm myself down, if I'm upset or embarrassed.

Have you ever slapped somebody?

[RobinHood3000]

Yup--myself.

Same question!

[chef]

yes- not myself though
If you could change somehting from your life, what would it be?

[IrishCanadian]

Thats an intence question chef!
I would have moved more slowely in a certain relationship. Well that was personal, yikes I don't think I'v said that to anyone but the girl that its about. Its been over for years now anyway.
Same question

[Pendragon]

A lot of things... but let's not depress myself by going there.

Same question....

[Weeping Willow]

Yes.. i would change my nationality... my shyness.. and my laziness (altough the last one is kind of a prt of my charcter :blush: )

SaMe QUesTIon PLeaZe:

[adilyoussef]

My health, and sorry for that.

Same Q

[Pensive]

I would change nothing.

Same Question (good one)

[IrishCanadian]

Good for you Pensy! You do me proud!
Is the glass half empty or half full? I know its a cleche but I think after th alst question it feels slightely appropriate.

[Pendragon]

The glass is half-full.

same question, a very good one.

[emily655321]

There is both emptiness and fullness, and both are good. There is balance.

If you could drastically alter the appearance of your home for one day, what would you do?

[RobinHood3000]

Can anyone say "Addams Family?"

Same question!

[chef]

jaja i can. But i think that i wouldn't change my house
mmm... what would be a good question to ask???
ok so mayby not so good but can't think of anything else, what do you think of todays society, do you think that it will get worse or that it has reached the worse of it?

[Pendragon]

Well, I don't honestly see it getting better... :(

Same question, maybe someone else has a brighter view!

[adilyoussef]

Or a darker one. Worse and worse and worse. Just forget about it.

Same Q.

[emily655321]

"The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better—it is just turning around as usual."
~Finley Peter Dunne

Things have always been this bad, and they always will. We just don't remember because human beings have notoriously flawed collective memory.

What's the next language you intend on learning (or wish to)?

[Evergreenleaf]

Irish Gaelic. I started already, but I never got very far with it.


Do you prefer to work in a group or by yourself?

[emily655321]

Myself, under all circumstances. I play well with others, but work is another thing entirely.

Same question.

[Ryduce]

I fear social interaction so I always work by myself,unless forced otherwise.






Same question I guess.

[RobinHood3000]

I prefer to work by myself, but with the right people, productivity is greater than the sum of its parts, indeed.

Same question!

[chef]

same over here Robin I don't like to work with people who don't work they just slow you down or you can't do things right.
same question

[Pendragon]

Maybe I shouldn't answer, being disabled, and all. But I did work for well over half my life and I would much prefer to do it myself. We had a "group work seminar" and then every thing was group oriented. I got sick of that in a hurry. Why jump the whole group when you have a computer printout that tells exactly who isn't pulling their share of the load? I got fed up with speeches on "It's the group that matters. If they can't do it, someone has to make up for them." No, get rid of them and put somebody in that can do the job! Duh!

Same question.

[chef]

well to much of that question lets get a new one....
lets see.... ok so what would you do if the world was to end tomorrow???

[Riesa]

I'd curse a lot.
Then cry, then tell everybody I love them. And I'd be out of time, because It's almost 11:00 p.m..

Would you rather face death awake or die in your sleep?

[chef]

awake, most people would say in their sleep, but i don't fear death.
Do you (person below me) fear death?

[Pensive]

Yep, I do. I fear death.

Have you ever hated someone a lot and then started to love him/her more than you hated him/her?

[adilyoussef]

The usual course of life. Funny but yes.

Same Q.

[Pendragon]

Strange how things turn out, but yes, it's happened before. Unfortunately, the opposite is equally true, you can love someone and then grow to despise the ground they walk on.

Same question.

[MissJaneEyre19]

no, not at all. once i've decided to hate someone, i will hate him/her for the rest of my life. pleasant, huh?

do you snore when you sleep?

[adilyoussef]

No. And hate who do. I'm not a heavy sleeper. If someone opens the door of my room, I wake up at once, let alone snoring.

Are you satisfied with what you are?

[chef]

yes but there is times i wish i could change somethings of miself.
Same question

[kilted exile]

I am completely satisfied with who/what I am. There are a lot worse things I could be, and I aspire to be nothing more.

What drives you?

[MissJaneEyre19]

the voice of my father inside my head.

where is your favorite place to read?

[Aurora Ariel]

Err, can I say EVERYWHERE- ANYWHERE- SERIOUSLY...I've even read walking along the streets... I read wherever I can...bed, gardens and places of solitude are particular favourites...

Same question...

[Themis]

Same answer. :p

If you make plans about something, do you always carry them out?

[Pensive]

Nope, Most of the time I am unable to carry them out.

Have you watched the third season of Gilmore Girls? Did you like it better than the first two?

[rachel]

argh, I never watch Gilmore girls if I can possibly help it.(sorry honey)


Do you ever stop in the middle of doing something and wonder why on earth you are even doing it?

[samercury]

All the time :alien:

Same question

[emily655321]

No, it takes me a long time to work up the energy to do something. If I'm going to get off my lazy a**, it has to be for a really good reason. :p

Do you like things (candles, potpourri, perfume) that smell like flowers? Or do you prefer fruit smells, or nothing at all? (So many things at my workplace smell like flowers, and people seem to like them, but I've never smelled a single one that didn't make me wince and cringe.)

[IrishCanadian]

I usually can't stand any artificialor simmulated scents. I think I have smelled the odd one that was pretty decent ... but only if its really subtle. My sister is allergic to artificial and simmulated scents, its pretty intence.
same question

[mingdamerciless]

mmmm i agree if people want to smell flowers why oh why don't they go into the countryside and smell REAL ones. There's always something about artificial smells that make me feel ever so slightly queasy. Having said that some things can smell so scrumptious i could eat them. mmmm especially vanilla, i lurve vanilla!!

Do you prefer an urban or rural lifestyle?

[emily655321]

Well, the most "urban" lifestyle I've ever lived, I'm living now. My window overlooks a parking lot full of restaurants, and Main Street is about a hundred yards "that way." But the total population is only about 12,000, so I don't know if it really qualifies as "urban." However, before that I spent a year at a tiny college atop a mountain, hardly ever getting into town, seeing only my classmates and professors, and I quite preferred that. My dream house would be a small farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, with a nice herb garden. So, why don't I say "rural"? :)

Same question.

[Pensive]

I will prefer Urban. Rural, No way! In cities/towns we have nice schools, colleges, hospitals and stuff for fun and in Rural, these things are not present.

Nice one, so the same question!

[IrishCanadian]

Half way between urban and rural. I'm picky it seems. I grew up in a small town so I find the city too dirty and the country too lonely.
Same question ...

[papayahed]

Urban, definately. I've grown up in the city I wouldn't know what to do without the noise. Not that I live in a noisey area now by any means but it's still mostly citified.


Do you think this statement is true: "You always want to live in the house you grew up in" As in concsiously or subconscieously one tends to gravitate towards houses like the one they were raised in.

[IrishCanadian]

For me its definitely true. I grew up in a large, beautiful, crowded victorian house with high cealings, lots of people, pillars in one room, and red brick overlooking a large front yard. It was great!
Same question.

[Pendragon]

First let me say that I grew up very poor, and the house in which we lived often had ice freeze on the inside of the walls in winter. There were three kids and my mother, and we all slept in the same bed in wintertime when it was blue cold for warmth. We moved out of that house and three years later it was destroyed in a flood. But somehow, it is still the house of my dreams, yes. I go and stand at the empty lot sometimes and remember. And despite everything, all my dreams involving that house are happy ones. :)

Pass the question.

[Themis]

Definitely. We do own the thing, after all. Honestly, I really think that's true.

Same question since I can't think of any other right now.

[adilyoussef]

Oh! That's a dream for me. The house when I grue up has memories in each of its corners. That would be reviving the past for me.

Same Q

[chef]

the only one I can think of is what is your favorite band and why?

[avidreader24]

Linkin Park. Very crative music..
Q. Cheesecake or Carrot cake?

"today is yesterday's tomarow. do with it what you can"

[RobinHood3000]

Cheesecake, naturally.

Same question (kinda random).

[Themis]

As long as I don't have to call it that ... cheesecake.

Do you treat Sundays like every other day or are they special for you?

[IrishCanadian]

Special.
Lent is soon, I'll be eating alittle better on the sundays and its so nice to start a day with church. Its also special because i seem to put off my weekend homework until the sunday night ... unless its reading.
same Q

[Pensive]

They are very very very very very very very special to me. Saturdays and Sundays are both special as I have holiday on each Saturday and Sunday.

(La la la la)

Have you ever cheated someone in your exams and what were the consequences, Did you get caught?

[avidreader24]

heck no... maybe i should though.. i would actualy pass...

do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?if so, what is her/his name?

[RobinHood3000]

Never. We superheroes place a high value on our honor.

Same question.

[chmpman]

I do not have any current relationship. If I did her name would be... Molly. That sounds about right.

Same Q

[chmpman]

do you have a girlfriend?if so, what is her/his name?

One would hope that someone's girlfriend would not be a he. ;) (My first forum smilie)

[avidreader24]

hahaha. OOPS....my bad. :brickwall im stupid.

[RobinHood3000]

In response to the question I was too slow for: Yes, and I'm not telling you her name.

Same question, but perhaps broadened: Who here is in a relationship?

[avidreader24]

robinhood3000. what happend to your superhero honor?

[Pensive]

Not I!

Do you tend to make silly mistakes?

[chmpman]

Chivalry, in the time of Robin, was the highest form of honor. Am I wrong Robin?

[Pensive]

robinhood3000. what happend to your superhero honor?

He is a good role player. I think that he was role playing The Unnamable and now he is in his own self. :p

[avidreader24]

god. sorry...

[IrishCanadian]

Searching high and low. With the advice of a loved one I'v asked God to close all doors that are not ment for me. We have to be careful what we wish for. I'm single.

[Pendragon]

Answering Pensy: Yes!!!!!! :goof:

Do you go driving and suddenly remember where you were going about ten minutes after you go past it? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/auto/car-smiley-003.gif

[RobinHood3000]

robinhood3000. what happend to your superhero honor?
~sigh~ I told you, I responded too slow. I was responding to the 'Have you ever cheated?' question when I said "Never."

Oh, and one more thing...

HOW DARE YOU ALL DOUBT MY HONOR!!?!

[Pensive]

HOW DARE YOU ALL DOUBT MY HONOR!!?!

I thought that you were copying Unnamable or possibly starrwriter. :rolleyes:

[chef]

Answering Pensy: Yes!!!!!! :goof:

Do you go driving and suddenly remember where you were going about ten minutes after you go past it? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/auto/car-smiley-003.gif
no but i think the problem with that is that i don't have a car :( but if i did you can be sure i would :nod:

[rachel]

~sigh~ I told you, I responded too slow. I was responding to the 'Have you ever cheated?' question when I said "Never."

Oh, and one more thing...

HOW DARE YOU ALL DOUBT MY HONOR!!?!

only someone who truly didn't know you would ever do that. they were only kidding. You are and always will be my totally honorable and full of integrity hero.

No not at all I think my ideals are too high, but I am fine with that.

who here secretly still loves some things they did when they were really little?

[RobinHood3000]

Still technically little, but I love my cartoons :D.

Same question!

[kilted exile]

I most certainly do, for example I used to enjoy making myself dizzy by spinning round in a circle & it is just as much fun today (yep, still just a big kid really)

Same Q

[AimusSage]

I loved sleeping when I was little, and I still do :) But I don't make a secret out of it. :p

same Q

[samercury]

*yay*
I still love bracelets :D

Same question

[Pendragon]

Hee-hee. Anyone who reads the Name That Lit. Character thread knows that even at 45, I've never grown up! Yes, I have books that I enjoy as much today as I did 32 years ago, including the Oz series (part of it, anyway)

Pass the question....

[chef]

Still technically little, but I love my cartoons :D.

Same question!
same here i can't get enough form Tom and Jerry
same question

[rachel]

yay!!! cartoons and going round and round. Me too. That is why I have the perfect excuse, I blame it on baby Hasia.

same question

[chmpman]

I still like small furry animals.

Same Q

[IrishCanadian]

Role playing games and blanket forts. :blush: they're comforting to read in.
Are you vegitarian, why?

[Nightshade]

No, why? becaue Im more of a carnivore by nature ( I even have the extra big (what they called inscisors??) :D)

[Pendragon]

No. Why? Well, my wife has an aunt who is and I'm in much better health than her in spite of being overweight.

Same question.

[Weeping Willow]

sadly... i'm not... :(.. :bawling:.. although i want to be... but i'm too weak,,, (meat is murder but soooo tasty.. :bawling:)...

SAmE QueStiOn PleAzE:.......

[Riesa]

I want to quote Willow, I feel exactly the same way. I actually was a vegetarian, (not vegan) for a while, but then I had a midnight run-in with a taco stand and freaked out, and the rest is history. But I do feel like I may be again soon....hoping.

same Q

[AimusSage]

No, I like meat, it is tasty, like a soft bloody steak with peppersauce, prepped just the right way, with the scent going into my nostrills, tempting me to take a bite. But not too big I bite, teasing me with the essence just enough for me to enjoy it. :nod:

New Question: How do you eat your veggies?

[avidreader24]

easy. i dont. my dog loves them though :D

Q. what is your favorite book genre?

[chmpman]

I can't say I really have one. I like books that develop some sort of philosophical reflection, and I personally don't see that in much fantasy (although I like Tolkein, so he's about the extent of my interests there). I just answered which is my least favorite though, whoops. Also, I'm not such a huge fan of mystery novels; but most everything else is appealing (including sci-fi).

Same Q (meaning which is your favorite)

[Riesa]

At the moment, historical fiction....but I'll read almost anything. My favorites are really random. From The Painted Bird to Huck Finn, to Slaughterhouse-5, to I Capture the Castle, to Outlander to Sherlock Holmes...etc.

Same Q.

[adilyoussef]

Woolf & Joyce... I let you imagine.

Same Q

[IrishCanadian]

Historical fiction, romanticism and gothic ... the classic stiff basically. Unless by "book" you mean more along the lines of poetry, drama, novel, anthology ... to which my answere is YES
Same Q

[Themis]

Q. what is your favorite book genre?

Historical fiction - though only if that really IS a genre. Otherwise, drama.

Who is your favorite author?

[IrishCanadian]

That question is impossible for me to answere indefinitely. Right now its Hemingway ... but that will change in half an hour.

[papayahed]

I dunno, that's like asking who my favorite band is, it's just hard to pick one.


Do you read in the bathroom?

[Pendragon]

Oh yeah. Uncle John's Bathroom Reader's have a lot of interesting facts. I recomend the series. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/crazy/1271.gif


Same question...

[adilyoussef]

Yah. It happened to me twice. Once I was reading an interesting novel and could not get my eyes off it, and as I had an urgent need, I fineshed it there. It took me about 20 min sitting there.

Same Q

[avidreader24]

no i am not. im to stupid.(lol) And i have diabetes. thats the main reason i hate myself*

Q. Where would you go on a dream vacation?

[rachel]

well then we are just all going to hug you and not let you hate yourself. I love your avy.

A dream vacation would take me to the inner city of New York where I could work with the children and help raise some money for the housing and healing of crack and drug born babies.(sniff sniff)

same question

[Riesa]

Rachel, you are so darn good, I feel like a real poop sometimes. ;)

Especially because my dream vacation is all about laying around on the beach and snorkeling :rolleyes: I really should be more like you.

same q, help me out here, someone.

[kilted exile]

My dream vacation would sailing around the carribean - but not on one of those stupid cruise ships: just a simple yacht, me and my girl.


same q

[Weeping Willow]

MY dream vacation would start with flying to Spain.. visiting banshee... maybe visiting Katlrina before....
after that.. the the uk maybe seing Robin or scher...
The strait to USA to see Virgil and same!!! and thee A month with Riesa going to Mexico :)
then i go up to Canada for rachel.. where i end my dream :)...

SamE QuEsTIon PleAzE:

[rachel]

Rachel, you are so darn good, I feel like a real poop sometimes. ;)

Especially because my dream vacation is all about laying around on the beach and snorkeling :rolleyes: I really should be more like you.

same q, help me out here, someone.

darling Riesa,
you are you, glorious, beautiful, a gilded edged writer, great mom, perfect wife, horse whisperer.
It has nothing to do with goodness, it has to do with each of us doing what is inside of us. I would love to do all of those things but myself wont let me. :rage:

[avidreader24]

[QUOTE=rachel]well then we are just all going to hug you and not let you hate yourself. I love your avy.

thanks rachel.

[adilyoussef]

no i am not. im to stupid.(lol) And i have diabetes. thats the main reason i hate myself*

Q. Where would you go on a dream vacation?

No, don't be. There is no one stupid. People who think themselvese to be stupid just don't know how smart they are. One day you will be astonished to discover things in you, and most of the time through other people. I won't explain for that time will do that.

And for the illness, I myself have a life long one. Just never depress yourself about it. Know one thing: you are unique just like anyone else. Meaning that you are what you are but like everybody. See life beautiful and you will enjoy living it.

As for your honorable question, I would go to my dreamland which exists in my thoughts. The agony is that I'm always lost their in my thoughts that's why I don't know the way out there.

Same Q.

[Keltic Banshee]

Well... being a Keltic Banshee born in the wrong country, my dream vacation takes me "home", that is, Ireland... that small island sitting there in the Atlantic... there is still sooooooooo much of it I haven't seen... But first I would have to gather some good company for the trip... I know at least Weeping Willow would volunteer... anyone else feels like coming? ;)

Have you ever stayed awake most (all) night reading a book you couldn't put down? If so... which one?

[samercury]

Yes- most recently Northanger Abbey *niaga*

Have you ever gone back to school in the middle of the night because you left something important there?

[chmpman]

No, in my part of the world schools are locked at night. Did you break in, if you've done it?

Same Q

[chef]

Well not exactly at the middle of the night but like at 8 or 9 and no it was not locked because there was a basket ball game so everyone was there.

How do you heal a broken hart?

[adilyoussef]

By paying a visit to a doctor called "Time". Time is a good healar.

What makes you chose your avatar?

[Pendragon]

Well, I have a couple dozen aliases I use. When I came to this forum, my favorite two were already taken. So I used Pendragon (full name David Pendragon, for writing purposes). So my atvar will have a dragon in it somewhere.

Good question, Adil. Well worth passing on!

[Weeping Willow]

I choosed my avy cause of my name willow... but later on it keeps flowing wiht what's going on here and in my life... right now it's from a song that has a huge impact on me...

Exellant question !

SamE QueStiOn PleAzE:

[Keltic Banshee]

Well, I chose Keltic Banshee as a nickname some years ago, and then looked for an image of a Banshee to use as an avatar.... I'm still looking for a better one, but banshees seem hard to find :)

Same question :)

[tfwelch]

loving garlic means never having to say you're sorry.

how many languages do you speak?

[Weeping Willow]

2.5...
Hebrew...
English..
Learning Spanish,,,, but still doesn't count as if i know it...

SaME QueSTion PLeaZe:

[Keltic Banshee]

hm... 2 + some bits and pieces: Spanish, English, 1/2 Basque, 1/4 Gaelic, 1/2 Galician...

what scares you most?

[Pensive]

To think about living without my mother scares me the most, at this moment.

Which language do you want to learn the most?

[Keltic Banshee]

Irish Gaelic, which i am currently trying to learn...

Same question

[Pensive]

I want to learn French the most.

Same Question!

[belle ringer]

I actually want to learn ancient languages like Sanskrit and Latvian.

So, if you are to be transformed into your opposite sex, what would you be doing for a living?

:D

[Keltic Banshee]

I guess I would continue to do what I am (supposedly) doing now: software development. Though I think I would have it easier to get a job... you know, some people still find it weird to find a woman applying to a software development position... (I have been asked more than once if I wouldn't prefer a helpdesk position.... :goof: made me feel like telling the guy that I could do much more than using a nice voice to answer the phone....)

[Bongitybongbong]

(I'll assume same question.) I wouldn't really change anything that I'm doing, I'm a student that wrestles.

If there was a hole in a large wall that was filled with water on the other side, what would you do?

[Pensive]

I will jump into the water and then I will swim there.

Interesting Question so the same question!

[Nightshade]

err Id probably keep on alking unless its a dead end and I have to go through the wall. ( shows how boring I am :rolleyes: )

Do you consider yourself blessed/ lucky?

[kilted exile]

I consider myself to be very lucky/fortunate etc. Things could be a hell of a lot worse.

What was the last thing that made you laugh?


(by the way, obviously the correct thing to do about the hole in the wall is to get some bricks & mortar and close the thing up - cant have it flooding)

[Pensive]

The last thing was my "misery" that made me laugh.

Are you often angry at people?

[Ryduce]

only at people I don't like.(Which is the majority of the population)






Do you feel that rap music is the poetry of urban 21st century america,or that it is shameless pop music that glorifies violence,drug use,and misogyny?

[rachel]

hey Ry, waz up bro?
To be perfectly honest I think both thoughts are the truth. It does shake up the world, make a statement, is great fun and commercially successful. On a richter scale I would say it is a 9,5 (oh and Ryan I could never get angry at you. you rock my soul)

Do you think that, given enough time and an unprejudiced heart each one of us could love one another on this forum unconditionally just because we are us and we exist?

[papayahed]

No. only because it's too easy to be anonymous on these types of boards.


What's your favorite soup?

[Pensive]

My favourite soup is "Bundo Khan Special Soup"

Which type of dress do you like to wear?

[emily655321]

Long, full, heavy skirts. And a t-shirt.

What is your least favorite chore? (Something you absolutely must to do on a regular basis, but don't enjoy.)

[Pendragon]

WORKING ON MY CAR! http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/haushalt/n060.gif

[Chava]

Removing clothes from my room, and re-stacking them nicely on the appropriate shelves.

Are there different kinds of rain?

[papayahed]

Yes. Right now it's drizzling earlier it was big fat drops.


Which do you prefer fruit or vegetables?

[emily655321]

Fruits, usually. Recently, though, I've found myself craving veggies like wild.

Which to you prefer, meat or veggies?

[Pensive]

I prefer veggies.

Same Question.

[Pendragon]

I am, I fear, a carnivore, much to the dismay of many of you...a plate of veggies or a salad now and again is fine, but I crave meat, beef mostly.... ;)

Do you feel it is healthier eat no meat?

[emily655321]

To quote Reverend Lovejoy of the Simpsons, "Short answer yes with an if, long answer no with a but."

Vegetarianism is fine as long as you get plenty of alternate sources of protein, like beans and dairy, and even then you have to eat them in the right combinations or your body doesn't absorb the protein (beans with broccoli, or beans with bread, etc.). Still, with a lot of research and attention it can be done, but you run the risk of others not wanting to share the general atmosphere you inhabit. ;)

I think if the only meat you eat is, like, fatty pork and hamburgers, you're in bad shape, too, and it might do you good to cut down on how much of it you eat. But if you eat, say a tuna sandwich for lunch and a small piece of skinless chicken for dinner, meat is very important and healthy for you.

(Can you tell I've done my nutritional homework?)

Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

[rachel]

Oh absolutely(hi Em, hugs and I miss you)
being raised in a Celtic family,one side Irish and one side Scottish we celebrated both. But unlike many who go out and get drunk in green, we mainly read about his life and have friends over and lots of fun and talk and sharing.and of course we were green.

Do you think makeup is gross or okay to wear?

[chmpman]

I think done properly makeup is fine and dandy. Although it's also important for a girl to feel comfortable without it. From my experience I see far more women who go overboard with makeup than the opposite. I've never really known too many guys who look at a girl and say that she needs more makeup, but for some girls it does make them look more youthful.


Same Q.

[Weeping Willow]

hmmmmm ok. i guess.. why not wear makeup?... hmmm...
weird..

What would be the first thing you'd say to the first person you'll meet in real life from the LIT Net...??

[Pendragon]

If I have seen their photo, "I am so glad to have finally met you!" If I have no idea how they look, probably. "You don't look a thing like I imagined!" At any road, I'll be glad to see them!

A wonderful question I'm proud to pass on! Go, Willow! :nod:

[RobinHood3000]

"Hey! It's me! "Robin--hey! Ow! Sto-stop that! That hurts! No, really, it's me! Agh!"


Same question!

[emily655321]

Haha.

Erm... I guess it would depend on who I'm meeting. I don't pay nearly enough attention to recognize people on the street, so in that scenario I'd probably pass right by you, still staring at the ground. But if a meeting were arranged, the first thing I'd say would probably be, "Oh! Hi. Were you calling my name? Really, for the past five minutes? Oh, wow. Sorry. So, yeah... Hi!" :D

If you were to arrange a meeting with someone from the forum, where would it be and what would it be like?

[Pensive]

I would arrange it in Neverland. Most probably, no one will accept my invitation to Neverland but if one will, I am sure that he/she would enjoy it a lot.

I will take the member to the "Booksy Paradise" Booksy Paradise is a famous place for entertainment in Neverland. All books-lovers come there at weekends and enjoy reading lots of books. You will find every book in Booksy Paradise.

After it, I would take the member to show him/her "Movie Plaza" It is a very interesting place. There, you will see a lot of large rooms and in each room, there will be a seperate movie. You will be able to choose any of them.

Then I will also show her/him "Pensive Garden" As Pensive (I) will be the most famous writer, I will have a large garden full of beautiful flowers and green trees. It would be a beautiful sight. I will invite the member's favourite singer or band there.

Then I would have a long chat with the member. We will talk about interesting things. We will play games and then we will play cricket and badminton as well.

Wouldn't it be lovely?

Nice Question so the same one!

[adilyoussef]

Hey Pensive, You make me eager to be your gest.

I'd join Pensive in her Neverland.

Same Q

[Pensive]

Thanks Adil. So, I invite you in there. You can come there whenever you want to.

Same Question

[Weeping Willow]

I would Take them to Eat "Humus" in Gaffo. then we'll go to the beach for some sun... and maybe ending with some beer!!! :P
Any one wants?

Will you get on a plane and go visit someone you never met only on the Internet?

[Riesa]

no, unless there's a lit-net party in Playa Del Carmen.

same q

[papayahed]

Probably not.

Where was the last place you went on vacation?

[Mililalil XXIV]

My work place!

What is the latest gift you have bought thus far?

[emily655321]

I sent my friend a postcard a couple of weeks ago (she's taking a semester abroad, and is lonely). If that doesn't count, then the last was Valentine's Day, and I bought the boy a big bag of white chocolate truffles.

Same question

[rachel]

some jewelry for a friend she never gets herself anything.
Em what pretty and thoughtful gifts. I love that you call him the boy. how enchanting.
and since I don't get to see you often Em please accept my gift of a lifetime supply of fresh veggies, all exotic kinds, brought fresh each day to your door along with a chef with international cuisine experience to cook them up for you daily.

same question please.

[AimusSage]

A ticket to an Iron Maiden concert for my cousin, with whom I am going to see Iron Maiden. Woohoo! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :D

same Q!

[rachel]

now see here this is the second time I have been tormented by someone seeing Ironmaiden, it wasn't you last time too was it. I WANT TO GO TOO.

[AimusSage]

It might have been me last time, I saw them last year somewhere in early june methinks.

[rachel]

well if your cousin suddenly looks and sounds a little different ignore it.

[emily655321]

:lol: @ Rachel.

Thank you for the veggies, Rachel. :banana: It's just what I need, I was about to delve into my stockpile of canned and frozen in lieu of buying fresh.

Uhh... to remind others of the question, it was: What was the last gift you bought someone?

[chmpman]

I'm a terrible giftgiver. The last "gift" I gave was cheap beer bought for a friend.

Same Q

[rachel]

you ARE a gift Chmpman.

Oh and I forgot I also gave someone a gift certificate to buy groceries.not very great but practical no?

[hera-on-earth]

On my Man's birthday......a great many things!

Which one of the Lit Net member wud u really want to meet first? (u can only name one)

[tn2743]

Elizabeth

What is the largest country in the world who does not have a coast?

[Mililalil XXIV]

Mongolia!!!!!!!!!! All of the larger ones have at least some extent of outer coastal land.

What are the names of the seven main Catholic Rites (not Sacraments)?

[RobinHood3000]

Don't these go in the Trivia thread?

[Pendragon]

Well, this one is "Ask the person below you", but I agree the question seems more destined for the "Triva" thread. Mind if I answer I have no idea, being Protestant? :nod:
