Game: Ask the Person Below You

[AimusSage]

Nah, not at all, I'm with Kilted, 'leaping around like a maniac' but if that's considered dancing, I'm really good at it :D

Are you going to answer this question with a witty response on how it totally sucks?

[Riesa]

no. ;)

same q.

[WhimsySA]

No, I'm not so hard on people.

Do you have pets & if so what are they?

[AimusSage]

Yes, many, a dog, three cats, 2 guinea pigs of doom, several fish and three bunnies, they're not all mine though, just share the same house. One cat is mine, but they all love me! :D Except for the fish, they're cold.

Same Q.

[WhimsySA]

I've got 3 dogs: rotweiler, maltese & poodle (not sure about spelling)
1 cat: partly siamese
& A huge pond full of koi fish (my dad's)

What would you classify as a creepy-crawly?

[AimusSage]

Myself, but only in the morning, in the afternoon, I'd have to say pillbugs, yuck!

How do you organize your thoughts?

[WhimsySA]

I don't! Maby that is why I stress so much.

Same Q

[Chava]

I sit by a memorial by the harbour and look at the sea and drink cocoa. Very soothing, when there aren't too many cars.

Question from earlier, "What shape is your cloud?"

[IrishCanadian]

Long and skinny? Its an odd question. Maybe I'm just too grounded to give it justice ... so I'll let thew next person have a go: same please.

[AimusSage]

Shape of my cloud? It's shaped like a squished bug. I have no clue what this question means, That why I opt for...

The same question!

[ShoutGrace]

My cloud looks a little like a dodecahedron, and also like a sad old woman, all at the same time . . .

SAME Q

[Mililalil XXIV]

Like a hill behind one hill and in front of another - the most distant seen - hill.

Same question

[Pensive]

Queen Of The Hill

Same Question!

[mono]

Perhaps I do not understand any abstract sense to the question, but let me take a peek outside . . . the skies appear mostly clear (rare in Portland, Oregon), but the first cloud I spotted (a cumulus cloud) looked a lot like the frothy bubbles atop a cappuccino, also due to its flat base. Mmmm, cappuccino! :D

To the person below me: what occupation did you most desire for your future when a child?

[AimusSage]

That's a touch one, I never stuck with any one proffession in particular, but the first thing that just came up in my mind was corporate honcho. I was a strange kid you see, and never went with the standard choices like fireman or kosmonaut.

Same Q, because I like it :)

[Nightshade]

Ahh but when when I was a kid? At one time I wanted to be A cleaner, at another I wanted to be a religious leader. err A story teller that suck the longest I guess.

Same q

[ElizabethSewall]

Hmm... I wanted to write fairy tales and novels. Not to forget be a mother.
Sounds cliché for a girl. And obviously I haven't changed much on this particular point. :p


Same Q

[Mililalil XXIV]

I wanted to be a superhero, then later a comic book publisher, then later a rock star.

[RobinHood3000]

Fighter pilot, archaeologist, superhero, forensic scientist, paleontologist, inventor, writer--not necessarily in that order.

Same question!

[amanda_isabel]

i wanted to be a teacher, for the reason that my mom was one.... that was when i was much younger; i was 5 then. but hey, i'm only turning 14 now!

same q.

[IrishCanadian]

Ghostbuster, construction worker, pilot, teacher, priest, Dad ... now I'm pursuing teacher ... and hopefully Dad-dom.
What are you wearing?

[Pensive]

Pyjama and shirt

Do you like Freaky Friday, the movie?

[Pendragon]

Please! My daughter has made me watch it several times. Not my cup of tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Same question.

[ShoutGrace]

I've never seen the movie, and judging from the talent, I never will.

SAME Q

[papayahed]

i saw the original with jodie Foster when I was younger, I remember liking it.


Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

[Pensive]

Take the Sesame Street Bus and it will take you there.

Your favourite Juice? Apple, Mango, Grape, etc...which one?

[Mariam]

All togather, but....apple would be great in this hot weather.

Are you happy with yourself?

[Weeping Willow]

No!

Same QuEstIOn PleAZe:

[Mililalil XXIV]

Happier with myself than with my personal life's circumstances.

Are you more appreciated or misunderstood?

[AimusSage]

Misunderstood, and because of that people actually appreciate me. If they knew the real me they'd run in terror. :p

same Q

[Shannanigan]

More appreciated...it's really hard to misunderstand me when I'm so freakin open all the time with what I do and say...I'm one of those "no filters" kind of people, there's no guessing with me, so you better like the facts straight up, no ice.

teehee

Same Q, I like it

[IrishCanadian]

Both ... in different respects. And in different ways be different people. Not including you guys.
Sam Q

[mono]

Are you more appreciated or misunderstood?
I would like to think that appreciation and misunderstanding sometimes go hand-in-hand, yet, often times, I cannot decipher which I feel more by friends and family members - perhaps appreciated for my intentions, but misunderstood in my actions and thought. Que sera, sera. :rolleyes:

Same question (a good one!).

[ElizabethSewall]

I tend to think both, and if Mono doesn't mind me quoting him:
perhaps appreciated for my intentions, but misunderstood in my actions and thought.
Same Q, please.

[Pendragon]

I will also lay claim to both. I am never sure about whether people understand me or not, but quite certain that I am appreciated anyway. ;)

It's a very profound question. I'll pass it on.

[kilted exile]

Definetely misunderstood; people think I actually care about what they have to say, when in fact I am just too polite to tell them they are boring the hell out of me. ;)

What was the last cd you bought?

[Cristina]

Oh My God Elephant... my friend's band recorded in this kid's basement

what's the last amazing movie you saw?

[Mililalil XXIV]

A Little Princess
For some reason, this movie that just happened to be on in my living room during one meal, sitting with a niece, constantly brought unexpected tears to my eyes, and placed before my heart a vivid awareness of the pains little ones bear. I was going through great pains of my own, and it was good to feel my tears well up with only others in mind whom I wished to benefit in some way. I've never really experienced that with any movie before. (Only the scene of Borimir being shot to death with arrows while valiantly defending little hobbits, who had to see their hero die before their eyes, as the last they saw of him while being carried off by the killers, brought tears to my eyes in any movie watched in recent years.) Something about the way this movie kept unexpectedly having the same effect on me seemed to denote something masterfully done.

same question

[IrishCanadian]

Blade runner.
I cried to a Litte Princess too. I was about ten or eleven years old at the time. It really is a classic.
Same question

[mono]

what's the last amazing movie you saw?
I have not seen a new movie in quite some time, but the last amazing one I saw, which I have seen many times, The Royal Tenenbaums - a wonderful movie of dark humor, a very odd plot of a seemingly estranged family, and incredible acting and directing. :thumbs_up

To the person below me: Where do you desire to vacation most?

[WhimsySA]

Although I have been there I want to go again: Italy, Livigno :banana:

Same Q

[Mililalil XXIV]

The Holy Land, Israel.

same question.

[Pensive]

London or Estonia or Switzerland

Same Question.

[AimusSage]

Variable, right now I really want to go to greece.

New Question: What Do you think of empty spaces?

[Mililalil XXIV]

They really make me wonder about you.

If Aimus punched you in the nose, what would you do?

[AimusSage]

I'd call him an idiot and smash his face up! :)

Same Q, I like it :D

[Mililalil XXIV]

I have but the same nose to offer him again - but I'd miss his fist next time.

same q. (he loves it!)

[IrishCanadian]

Hahaha.
I'd ask him why.
Same ... why not, we need more than him answering to himself.

[Nightshade]

Id do what I do with my sisters when they resort to attempting to hit me..hug him hed be so freaked out he'd run away screaming.

Ok maybe not ID probably run round screaming this time it really s broken why is it always my friendss tha attempt to break my nose? and demand Iceream and sympathy from everyone.

but its irrelevant becasue I wouldnt let him hit me even if he ever wanted to which is unlikly in it self.
same q

[mono]

If Aimus hit me? How could you do that to poor me - your forum friend, someone who greeted you at your arrival to the forum seemingly so long ago, someone who has contributed and enjoyed your discussions.
To answer your question - I would do that (what prints above), for a good guilt-trip. :D

To the person below me: out of all recent technology, what technological item (computer, laptop, iPod, Palm Pilot, etc.) have you enjoyed and praised the most?

[Mililalil XXIV]

The guitar effects processor.

same q.

[AimusSage]

Computer, and more exactly games. That and DVD movies. :D

Oh, and the only reason I'd hit someone in the nose is if they hit me first, but not hard enough to knock me out, and even then the odds are small I'd actually even try to hit anyone. :)

Same Q.

[RJbibliophil]

Probably laptops, even though I haven't really had a chance to enjoy one, and the web(!)

Have you ever drawn a comic strip, and what was one about?

[ElizabethSewall]

Well, I have and I still do. :D
They were mainly autobiographical actually, as a way to express what I couldn't tell probably.


Interesting question, RJ, sweetie.

Same please...

[AimusSage]

Yes I did, but I can't tell you what they were about, since some of the people here are still underage. :p

Same Q! me likes :)

[Mililalil XXIV]

I used to always make what I called "Mini Comix" as a kid. The first one had a character featured named "Daper Cat".

same q.

[shinigami]

Yes, it was about a remake of Harry Potter, made more gender friendly and greatly more sarcastic... Wahahahaa... Imagine, Harry and Draco as a couple... *yum...*...

[Pendragon]

I tried one with a group of animals, Pastor Possum, of the Peaceful Meadows Church. He has a friendly rivalry with Rabbi Ram,of Meadowlands Synagogue but they always end up helping each other out, while maintaining that they differ widely in belief systems. They usually argue doctrine over a game of chess on a stump. I never got very far with it.

Same question.

[Shannanigan]

I can only remember one, though I'm sure I wrote more than that during my bored childhood summers...the one I do remember was about a guy who wakes up and has so much stuff to do that soon it's lunch time and he gets lunch, then still has more stuff to do...and finally goes home and realizes he never made it to work....something silly like that....I'm silly :P

What is your most memorable teenage memory?

[Mililalil XXIV]

Finding a baby scorpion in my living room carpet. I bashed it, and it went limp. I threw it outside the back door, and it became perfectly mobile again, and I worried that it might sneak back in again.

same q.

[mono]

My most memorable teenage memory would probably consist of composing and performing music with the few bands I created and joined. I would play various instruments of varying styles, and even recall performing at a large music festival in this area called 'North by Northwest' (now known as Musicfest Northwest).

Same question (good one!) --

What is your most memorable teenage memory?

[IrishCanadian]

Thats awsome Mono! Mine would be similar: I used to belong to a performing dance troup called FGD (First Generation Dancers) ... basically we did the same thing as Riverdance except it was local ... we once went out of the country, but it still wasn't far. Those were my favorite years ever.
Same question ...

[Nightshade]

Technically still a teenager so might change yet standing on the walkway at mucaster castle last september as the clouds rolled in and the sun set and I could just hear the sea.

what is your all time favouirte memory?

[Dare2Dream18]

My favorite all time memory would be sitting on the porch when i was little with my grandfather before he died, talking about his childhood, he told me that he had always wanted to build a model airplane, so for weeks i went on a mad search with my mother for a really nice model airplane to build with him, i remember the look on his face when i gave it to him, it brought tears to his eyes that i had remembered something like that for him.

What is your own personal definition of perfection and has anything you ever made or created ever come close to it.

[Shannanigan]

My personal definition of perfection is the unattainable goal that I look towards in guiding me to continue pushing to move forward in all aspects of my life; I strive to be the perfect daughter, sister, girlfriend, friend, best friend, granddaughter, neice, writer, teacher, tutor, waitress, speaker, athlete....and though I know I will never be perfect, my efforts in reaching perfection will cause me to be the best I can in all these roles I play in life. I don't think I have come close enough to perfection in anything I've made or created, though I do think that I have created things (mostly poems or short stories) that were nearly perfect for their time and situation.

Same Q (I likey!)

[Weeping Willow]

For me it is when you achive, do or create something that you have that wierd tingeling in your heart telling you that's what you wanted...
And well.. i can't thing of anything like that right now...

SaME QueStION PleAzE:

[Mililalil XXIV]

Perfection is a quality differing things can have, in which nothing that completes a thing's nature is missing. I have more usually than not felt perfect Love for my neighbor, in a general way, but have also held it for a duration of time for one person alone I set myself apart from others for, even in thought, for Marriage one day.

I see perfection as attainable, but as something to yet be laid hold of for me in more than 50% of my life.

same q.

[mono]

What is your own personal definition of perfection and has anything you ever made or created ever come close to it.
I characterize it as the unattainable state of now flaws or vices, and the infinite continuation of virtue, happiness, and pleasure.
Obviously, no, nothing I have made or created has come close to my definition. :p

Same question (good one!).

[Dare2Dream18]

My definition of perfection is when you have created something a drawing, a poem, a story, or even a model airplane, and you can look at it and smile, because you can look at the flaws and you like them, you accept them because they add that extra hint of flavor that is your own unique style and personality. And yes the only thing that i have created that has matched such description would have to be a dragon that i drew, it took me about a year to really consider it perfect but, i can look at it now and accept it as it is because i believe it is my 1st true masterpiece, no matter the flaws that are within it.


If you were to die today, could you honestly look back at your life and say that you are happy with the choices that you made, and if not then, what do you think you could do now to change it while you still have a chance to?

[kilted exile]

Most definetely. I have no regrets about my life, I am totally comfortable doing what I am doing, and living where I am living. If I hadnt dropped out of Uni my life may not be as enjoyable as it is now. And if I hadnt moved to Canada I could quite easily be another statistic in Glasgow (or to give it its proper name "scum central")

Same Q

[Mililalil XXIV]

I would have never gone agianst what my Spirit sensed was the best step to take next, day by day. I spent years sensing one thing then going in the absolutely opposite direction. Things in which I sensed a guarantee of Blessing in my following through with my guiding thought, I often threw aside, then went through a longterm cycle harder to bear than a momentary perseverance through a momentary trial would have been.

same q.

[IrishCanadian]

If I die after seeing a priest then there is absolutely zero regrets. Wel maybe theres a few people I would like to hug and kiss first.
Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?

[AimusSage]

*munch munch* No' Me, I dinna steal no cookees.

Biblo Monkey stole the cookies. I saw him!

Have your Summer Vacations started?

[Mililalil XXIV]

Not till summer. (Or ever!)

same q.

[papayahed]

Nope. I'm taking a few days off next week but I don't have any vacation plans just yet.

Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire? (the monthly extinguisher inspection report is sitting on my desk)

[amanda_isabel]

no....

same Q.

[Pensive]

Nope

Same Question.

[Pendragon]

Yes. When I worked in a woodworking factory, I placed a part into my machine, hit the feed and stepped around to catch the finished product, when I noticed the machine behind mine was on fire. I grabbed my extinguisher and rushed so fast to put it out, that the fire was out before I could even recall pulling the pin on the extinguisher! They said it was my quick thinking that kept the fire out of the dust system, but we still shut down for the rest of the day while they checked. I didn't have time to think, I just grabbed the extinguisher and took off. A sand belt had cut into a metal shaping block. They switched to non-flammable blocks.

Anyone else? Good question! :cool:

What'S the last movie you saw?

[mono]

Walk The Line, a film based on Johnny Cash - excellent movie! :nod:

To the person below me: do you create or compose any art, such as painting, sketching, sculpting, literature, poetry, music, etc.?

[kathycf]

I write and sketch a little bit, but am not particularly talented at either. I was going to ask something else, but this is an interesting question.
Same Q.

[Riesa]

I write and paint, but I'm not particularly good at either of them.

Do you have any tattoos, and if so, describe them.

[Mililalil XXIV]

No.

Do you have a nose ring?

[Riesa]

no.

If you could live by a body of water, which would it be?

[chmpman]

My grandparent have a lake cabin in Minnesota, and I would so love to live on that lake.

Which country, other than your own, do you most desire to live in?

[Riesa]

I'd give up fish tacos to live in Scotland!

If you were to speak in front of a crowd of three million, what would you speak of?

[imthefoolonthehill]

I would speak against ethical relativism, and preach the evils of cognitive dissonance.

If you were locked alone in a library for a year (given food etc etc) what would you do (would you learn something like a language or how to build bridges, or would you read poetry and fiction)?

[Pensive]

I would die!

Same Question!

[RobinHood3000]

First: New language. Second: Martial Art. Third: Musical Instrument.

Same question!

[Chava]

Improve French! Study geography and anthropology, and read all the non-prose!

And you?

[Weeping Willow]

I would know i have died and got to heaven :)....

SaME QueSTioN PleAZe:

[Mililalil XXIV]

It would be language time!

same q.

[water lily]

I'd learn German and Mandarin, calculus, and read read read loads of literature so that whenever anyone made any sort of literary allusion I would know precisely what they were alluding to and would be able to make a smart witty comment about it. I think I'd also write a book. (And if this seems a mite ambitious, remember that we do have an entire year spent exclusively in the library with no [or at least few] outside vsisitors).

Same question

[WhimsySA]

I would read anything that looked interesting, not languages, and I'd probably end up tearing pages from books (the ones I don't like) to make paper planes or something like that.

Would you try to get along with someone you really hated just to please someone you really liked?

[blondeatheart]

depends how much i dislike them and how much i like the person im trying to please
and overall the situation
if its getting along with a friend of a guy i like then prob

would u walk the guy u like to his bus stop and wait with him if u knew it meant u'd later hav to wait for ur bus half an hour in the cold but at least u'd get an opportunity to spend time with him

[AimusSage]

I'll translate boy to girl for me. And no I wouldn't, sure it's nice to spend time with someone, but if I really liked a girl I would make sure that I got her number, so I could call her a few days later to arrange a date, or something like that anyway, I'm not going to wait in the cold for anyone when I don't have too. :)

Same Q

[Chava]

Hmm, i've biked 15km in the rain for a my best friend (a guy) once, he was sick, and lonely at home, so after school, i biked over to say hi, and be comforting, wherafter i biked home... I'd do it again to, i've never minded time alone.

What is the biggest contribution you have given so far?

SaMe QueStIon PlEazE:

I am just a simple poet and mystery writer, and have been and still am a simple Minister. I am nothing great, if anything I have done has touched another, it was out of my hands.

[rachel]

well, all of you on this thread have given me joy, things to contemplate and peace in my heart knowing you are 'here'.
I am greatly disappointed in myself, Ithought I would have done so much more by this time, but I guess spreading love and tolerance maybe. not much though

What is the finest moment you can remember from grade school?

[AimusSage]

Finally getting away from that horrible place!

same Q.

[Chava]

having the same thing for lunch as someone else that day and then being new "best friends" untill the day after... haha, grade school was great, when i was about 8.

same question

[mono]

My first day in a new school, as my family moved frequently, and how everyone seemed to swarm around me, but in a very acceptable way, curious about me.

Same question.

[rachel]

well who wouldn't be. you are both physically and personality wise beautiful. And gentle and that would make you a sure curiousity.

AIM, I LOVED WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT YOUR AVY NAME. GREAT. AND I HEAR YOU, I WAS RELIEVED TO LEAVE GRADE SCHOOL TOO but then during summer the horror of realising I now had to go to a new building farther away for middle school devestated me.
sigh.....grass is always greener on the other side it seems.

[ShoutGrace]

I remember kissing a girl named Danielle on the cheek, and that was momentous because she was unquestionably the 'headturner' of all the gradeschool girls . . . :lol: Thank God I had that at least once in my life . . . :D

SAME QUESTION

[shinigami]

This is the question, I want to answer....

Well, when I was in second grade, I was just recovering from my bestfriend's death -Karen, when I met my 2nd mother, well.. If things were up to me, she'd be my real mother. Ms. Gañgan. She's absolutely splendid, terribly wonderful and I love her sooo much!!! She really is the best person in the world and she listens to me... She's also taught me so many things like how to express myself and how to control rage and stuff... I really owe every ounce of pleasantness in myself to her... So.. I'd continue rambling but it'd be too long...

Would You kill yourself to prove your loyalty to a friend/brother??? [I would]

[RobinHood3000]

If they were my friend or brother, they would not dare to ask.

Same question.

Would You kill yourself to prove your loyalty to a friend/brother??? [I would]

[Miss Smilla]

I agree with robin hood!
I would have to say that dead, you are no good to anyone, but alive you can spend every day proving your loyalty to someone.


If you were given the choice between ignorance (and perpetual bliss) or knowledge (and perpetual hardship) which would it be?

[RobinHood3000]

Knowledge--I am of no use ignorant.

Same question!

[AimusSage]

Indeed, I would choose knowledge. I'll endure the hardship, although I don't believe knowledge stands together with hardship, only if one has knowledge and no understanding will you have hardship. :)

Same Q.

[mono]

Definitely knowledge; almost nothing sounds worse than the agony and oblivion of ignorance, though it remains unfelt. In essence, I would rather admit my ignorance with knowledge, feel it, know it, and try to increase it; both knowledge and ignorance seem inevitably inseparable, but I would at least strive hardest for the former. :nod:

To the person below me: same question.

[Shakira]

Knowledge - because if one has knowledge he / she will ultimately find ways to overcome the hardships.

To the person below me - the same question.

[Chava]

Knowledge - and that's why.

Same question

[RJbibliophil]

Knowledge!

Have you ever seen a cow smoking grass?

Mad as in angry? Yes
Mad as in insane? Well...yes.

Do you think that my signature is true?

[adilyoussef]

I think is what people do believe might come true.

Do you believe in your thinking?

[sHaRp12]

Very strongly

Do you believe in naturally evil people.

[Mililalil XXIV]

No, only people who evily willingly cast themselves into an unnatural disposition, counting it more convenient to resist Good than to adhere to the good nature (whether in good times or in bad).

same q.

[mono]

Intrinsically evil people, no; unintentionally evil people, yes. I feel that most termed 'evil' occurs in the world more through misunderstanding, refusing to think, or difficulty resolving problems rather than actually intending evil.

To the person below me: same question.

[cuppajoe_9]

No, I have never seen or heard of a naturally 'evil' person outside of literature (Iago).

I also like Mil's answer.

Same question.

[ElizabethSewall]

Having met a few really 'evil' persons, I'd say I believe in them. But I don't think their 'evil' nature is innate. I admit that some of them are unaware of the consequences of their deeds, yet it's only fair to say that others feel 'pleasure' in what they do (being perfectly well-informed about it).


Same Q.

[AimusSage]

I have to go with Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck on this one, and say that naturaly evil people can exist, Their ability to change depends on their mutability, but they will be naturaly evil and will always have to be careful for regression if they live good lives.

Same Q.

[Mililalil XXIV]

Having met a few really 'evil' persons, I'd say I believe in them. But I don't think their 'evil' nature is innate. I admit that some of them are unaware of the consequences of their deeds, yet it's only fair to say that others feel 'pleasure' in what they do (being perfectly well-informed about it).


Same Q.
Your answer fits well into mine. Some purposely ignore the gooness of their GOD-given nature, and choose a deficient state over the fulness of being they'd have if they loved Godd rather than the evil they love instead.

carry on with the q.

[rabid reader]

I have a mixed beleif on Nature vs. Nurture(sp?) I beleive that do to certain inherint geins in your body you will react a certain way to certain things, but the extremities of this can be manipulated by your past. So no I do not beleive a person is born evil, for if I beleived that I would have to beleive in predeterminizm and if I beleived that then there could be no evil because evil is a flaw in charactor and how can you be flawed if you have no choice?

Poster below: Do you belevie in fairies? (sorry just finished watching Finding Neverland again love that move!)

[imthefoolonthehill]

No. If I did, I'd petition the government to open a season on them.

Do you believe breaking the law can be morally right?

[rabid reader]

Yes, if I didn't I would have found Ganhdi immoral or even Jesus, but since I find little immoralality done by either I am forced to govern myself by natural law.

To the person below me: random question, which reminds me of the previous question, what would you consider the ideal age to live up to until death, and why?

[Shakira]

For me the ideal age to live upto until death would be the age till I'm aware of my senses because I definitely dont want to be a burden on my family after I lose my senses.

To the person below me - same ques.

[Mililalil XXIV]

At least 120 years. To see a few generations of my descendants succeed in every way in doing right, enriching the world, and finding Happiness, and to have sufficient time to impress my legacy upon them.

same q.

[smilingtearz]

I'd like to live only till an age where i can support myself.. hate the idea of going into the "second-childhood stage"

[Mililalil XXIV]

At least 120 years. To see a few generations of my descendants succeed in every way in doing right, enriching the world, and finding Happiness, and to have sufficient time to impress my legacy upon them.

same q.

[Shakira]

Till the age when I'm not a burden on anyone.

[mono]

Wow, I did not expect my question to last this long, until I returned! :D
I suppose I should think of my own answer, of which I never thought. As vague and inexact as it sounds, I would want to live to the point where I seem to still have my ability of cognition, decent behavior, etc.

To the person below me: what job of yours in the past did you most dislike?

[papayahed]

Working at 7-11. All the under age kids would try to buy Alcohol with either fake ID's or trying to bribe me and when that failed they'd get mad at me and generally swear. One poor guy tried so many times that by the time he was actually old enough I still refused because I couldn't be sure that that was his real ID.

Good One, Same Question:
To the person below me: what job of yours in the past did you most dislike?

[WhimsySA]

wouldn't know I never had a job before except for helping my mom with the housework. (i'm still at school) I guess the worst housework I've ever done was unpack the dishwasher, I don't know it just makes me grill (Afrikaans for shudder)!!!

What is the worst job you have done around the house?

[sHaRp12]

moving furniture

same

[Pendragon]

Janitor! They can sup the name up to “Custodian” of even “Sanitary Engineer” but it still involves rather a lot of muck you don’t even want to SEE much less have any contact with! And I was a teenager, which made it worse. GAG!

Same question.

[Shakira]

Washing clothes. Though it does not seem that bad, it becomes really tiring to wash the clothes of 5 family members.

Same q.

[rabid reader]

Cleaned the washroom

What is your favourite drink?

[Pensive]

Rooh Afza

Same Question

[Shakira]

Water.

What is your favorite snack ?

[Shannanigan]

Cookies.....

What is your favorite food?


(Playing with my boyfriend's little cousin here....everyone say hi Celine!!!) :)

[mono]

Hmmm, favorite food? I feel unsure whether I can narrow that down to only one, but usually any kind of vegetarian Mediterranean food (particularly Italian or Greek food). :D

To the person below me: what do you consider your most guilty pleasure?

[Chava]

oh boy... hmm... most guilty. Well, since few things make me feel guilty, I only really feel guilty if i don't live up to something that is expected, academically, promisses that i might have broken, and so forth, but something that really makes me feel guilty is like now, procrastinating the srudy of flatworms and other pathogens, so that i can read, or as now... be online... sad really...

Same question:

[caesar]

I don't feel guilty about anything that I do. Though there are things that I do on the sly, I do them without any qualms. However, I conscientiously adhere to the principle, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." But only to the extent it is reasonable. I can't and won't stop eating chicken because I wouldn't like being eaten by a chicken.

There being no uniform and invariable standard for judging right and wrong, I've stopped judging myself and others. Right and wrong is merely a creation of the society. To be more precise, right and wong is the dictate of the mighty in the society and the majority is not necessarily the migty in all societies. I agree that some norms are required to harmonize the conflicting interests of individuals.
But, if I were living alone on Mars, I would say, "Right is what is good for me."
But, if I were living with my wife on Mars, I would say, "Right is what is good for me and her"
And, if I were living with my wife and children, I would say, "Right is what is good for our family."
And, if our family had a neighbour on Mars, I would say, "Right is what is good for my family and our neigobours."
I don't know what President Bush would say, but what say you?

[AimusSage]

I'd say mars is a unified under the benevolent rule of a great king, ME! and that right or left has little to do with it :D

Difficult question, my guilty pleasures, I don't really feel guilty about it, but I eat a lot of tasty food. :) If I didn't I'd be starving mad, but really, I eat to much, even though I'm light as a feather. :)

Same Q: what do you consider your most guilty pleasure?

[blondeatheart]

thinking about him :P

same q

[ShoutGrace]

I'm so boring. My most guilty pleasure is playing computer games when I should be studying, reading, or doing anything else remotely constructive. In high school, it was a slightly different story. :D

- Same question -

[blondeatheart]

yea i avoid constructive activities too lol

[Shakira]

Eating :wink:

Whats the only thing about yourself that you are really proud of ????

[Chava]

hmm, i'm proud of more than one thing about myself, but if i could choose only one it would have to be my understanding of self.

Who was in charge of animations in the Monty Python films?

[AimusSage]

Terry Gilliam

What not to do when a bird drops his excrement on you?

[Weeping Willow]

Grab it, smell it and put it in your mouth...

SaME QueStIon PlEAzE:

[RobinHood3000]

Throw it back??

Same question!

[mono]

Hmmm, odd question - ignoring it certainly would not help.

To the person below me: where do you see yourself in 5 years?

[Shakira]

By God's will as a successful English Literature professor.

Same ques.

[AimusSage]

Just another gear in the corporate machine, working its way up the ladder.

Same Q: where do you see yourself in 5 years?

[caesar]

I'd have reclaimed Mars from you clutches. :banana:

same question.....

[Pendragon]

Somethings never change...

Same question.

[Chava]

Universtiy of edinbugh, but let's see how graduating IB works out for starters?

Same Question

[Shannanigan]

Teaching English at a public high school in the Virgin Islands, it'd be near the end of the school year five years from today, so there probably won't be any kids in class, so I'd be packing my stuff up and getting ready for a summer cruise away or something, lol. Hopefully getting close to finishing the house we plan on building on Chris' property, thinking about doing the whole engagement thing....hopefully I'll have tickets to visit a foreign country that summer (Chris and I have agreed to visit at least 6 foreign countries before we even think about kids....)

What are 6 foreign countries you'd like to visit?

[RJbibliophil]

6? How about Swizerland, Germany, France, England, Netherlands, Ireland

Same Q

[lettergirl]

Italy, England, Switzerland, Canada (I live here but would like to see all of it), Anywhere in the South Pacific and Disney World :brow:

What is your worst personality trait?

[Chava]

Scatterbrain, i get so distracted and flustered.
same question

[AimusSage]

Procrastinating, I'm a lazy bastard :)

Same Q.

[RJbibliophil]

I get frustrated easily, and whenever I get frustrated I :bawling: I am a little too independant and proud, and I often seem to say the wrong thing.

Now you're making me feel lonely. :bawling: Maybe that's why I like Lit Net so much. :cool:

Do you ever write poetry?

[AimusSage]

Yes I do, and it is terrible.

Same Q.

[RJbibliophil]

I write poetry occasionally, I claim no talent for it. I occasionally feel inspired, or feel like it. I think poetry to be a beautiful thing, if used so.

Have you ever written any short stories, or excellent metaphors?

[AimusSage]

I have written short stories, they are terrible :)

Same Q.

[mono]

I have written a few short stories, but I find that I have little to no talent with writing narratives. On the other hand, I have written notebooks full of poetry, and a few plays.

To the person below me: same question.

[Shakira]

Yes I have written something about my college life.

Same ques.

[Pensive]

I have written a few short stories.
---------Same Question---------

[vrianto3]

Never written short story - but have imagined lots of long ones.

Same Q.

[RJbibliophil]

Same here, I have imagined many short and long stories, but written very little.

Would you rather farm soybeans or fly airplanes in the military?

[Chava]

Completely anti-military, so there's no way, ablthough i would love to fly!

Would you kill another person if they looked you in the eyes?

[rabid reader]

Yes and have

Same Question

[AimusSage]

No, that's just silly, if people look me in the eye, I look in theirs and it will always be more revealing.

How would you describe the best day in your life?

[RJbibliophil]

The best day in my life would involve my mountains.

Have you eaten lutefisk, and if so, do you like lutefisk?

[mono]

I never have, but, besides considering myself vegetarian (and deathly allergic to fish and seafood, regardless), I do not think I ever would. :sick:

To the person below me: would you ever eat something, even though you did not know its ingredients, content, etc.?

[Pendragon]

If I am going to try something that I do not have the slightest idea what it is, the less I know about what is in it, the more likely that I will try it. That's how they got me to eat escargot, which weren't bad.

As a vegetarian, do you feel it necessary to jump everyone who isn't, or if you are not vegetarian do you needlessly draw undue attention to them as though they were abnormal somehow?

[RJbibliophil]

I am not a vegetarian, and I'm neutral, but I prefer meat in moderation, and I think vegetarianists are awesome, though I will probably never become one

Same Q

[vrianto3]

Not a vegetarian - and love meat too much to even consider becoming one. But don't really make a big deal towards vegetarian, though. Afterall, each person is entitled to have their own preference.

Do you think you can be not happy and also not unhappy at the same time?

[caesar]

I think its possible to feel happy and sad at the same time. Pain isn't alawys unplesant, is it?

Are you a junkie?

[ktd222]

I'm a sugar junkie.

Does imagining the audience in their underwear actually aleviate apprehensions for public speaking?

[imthefoolonthehill]

no. holding them in the highest conempt does. I channel my nervousness into anger. Unfortunately, it makes me shake from anger rather than fright.... but oh well, its much more energetic this way.

Does holding your breath get rid of hic-ups?

[Shakira]

Yes, it does.

Same ques.

[blondeatheart]

usually

same q

[AimusSage]

Sometimes, but I prefer to scare people with the hiccups.

How do you eat your veggies?

[Chava]

raw, cooked, on a plate, fork, knife, or sometimes spid. and mostly just hy hand.

Same Question

[RJbibliophil]

I usually eat my veggies with my teeth. :brow:

Why is Aimus obsessed with vegetables?

[Pensive]

Because he is a vegetarian. (I think, might be wrong)

Same Question.

[RJbibliophil]

Because he is a turniptarian, and turnips are vegetables.

Same Q

[mono]

I have no idea - what a silly question. :confused:

To the person below me: when you post 'same question' for the person below you, do you really like the question, or can you usually not think of another question?

[AimusSage]

Hehe, it can be both, but usually I find it to be a good question, otherwise I am going to ask one of my own, but they tend to be silly, it's rare that I really cannot think of one myself, but most questions are more interesting then the ones I come up with :lol:

Oh, and just so everyone knows: I AM NOT OBSESSED WITH VEGETABLES! :flare:

Same Q (because I am interested in what others will say ;))

[ktd222]

I've never done it so I wouldn't know.

Do you ever have nightmares about Elm street?

[mono]

Never, not even as a child. I had many nightmares as a child of another film, however, called Critters - those mean, little hairballs scared the hell out of me!

To the person below me: you feel hungry, but do not feel like cooking - where do you usually go?

[Shakira]

To a really great snacks shop quite near my place.
[Im thinking of going there right now] ;)

Same ques.

[Émilie]

McDonald's don't judge me...

Same Q (because it's a good one!)

[papayahed]

Lately I'm hooked on Panera, especially the Greek Salads.


Same Q:
If you're hungry but don't feel like cooking where do you go?

[Pendragon]

Toco Bell

Same Question

[mono]

For fast food, I usually go with Subway, Quizno's, or Taco Bell.
Other nicer places I may go to: Java Vivacé (the best coffee and crêpes in town :D), Greek Cuisina (good Greek food), La Terraza (Italian restaurant), Chili's (nice Mexican restaurant, though not too vegetarian-friendly), or P.F. Chang's (China bistro).

To the person below me: ten years ago, would you have seen yourself where you see yourself now?

[kilted exile]

Nope My plan 10 years ago involved me having finished my phd in immunology last June and currently working as a research scientist....funny how things change.


Same Question (for once not just cos I'm too lazy to think of one)

[RJbibliophil]

my plans 10 years ago I do not remember, but they probably included high school in my homeland

To the person below me: If you could ask any question of me, what would it be?

[mono]

Interesting question, for I have always wondered the significance of the letters 'RJ' in your screen name - your initials, perhaps?

To the person below me: have you regretted falling out of contact with many past friends or family members?

[Chava]

Not really. I think i'm highly selective about friends, which leads to my very dormant social life. A friend once said that it was because i treat most my aquaintnces like colleagues more so than friends, which keeps people at a distance and which sooner or later means i lose contact. Sometmes i find it sad, but other times it's a big relief.
(gosh, i sound so anti-social)

Which tree would you mount a swing in?

[Shakira]

Banyan.

Next question : Which is your favorite flower ?

[mono]

Definitely stargazer lilies, though I love fuchsia as well. :nod:

To the person below me: same question. :D

[RJbibliophil]

peonies, lilacs, blåklokker, lillies, I like too many flowers...

What, if anything, have you read of Charles Dickens?

[Charles Darnay]

Almost everything: Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby, A Tale of Two Cities, Hard Times, Bleak House, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, Dombey and Son (reading), A Chrstimas Carol, Barnaby Ruge, Oliver Twist....

To the person below me: Have you learned something really interesting/fascinating over the past three days? if so what?

[Pensive]

There is someone more talkative than me!

Same Question!

[adilyoussef]

Time is mocking on us. I've learnt that there's no time to achieve what I planned to.

Intresting Q. The same plz.

[Shakira]

I have learned that I shouldn't trust people the way I do.

Same ques.

[mono]

Having reviewed lots (several hours per day) for my nursing comprehensive board exam (for RN licensure), I have learned and re-learned many, many things. A few interesting things regard various neurological and endocrine disorders (two areas that greatly interest me), their signs and symptoms, treatment, prevention, and potential complications.

To the person below me: same question (good one) --

To the person below me: Have you learned something really interesting/fascinating over the past three days? if so what?

[AimusSage]

Yes I have, unfortunately! Since this is a public forum, I cannot disclose what I have learned, it would be improper :eek: Let's just say that some rumors are true :lol:

PAM, What is your biggest mistake?

[RJbibliophil]

My biggest mistake would probably be answering this question, because then I would have to reminde myself (again) of all the little idiotic mistakes I made, which if it weren't for them, I might have better relationships with some people I would like it if were my friends.

Do you have many friends you can turn to in RL?

[papayahed]

I didn't think I did until you asked the question but after thinking about the people I can turn to I think it's a decent number. The only problem is that they're all at least 800 miles away.

Same Question:
Do you have many friends you can turn to in RL?

[RobinHood3000]

Not many, but a decent number -- oftentimes, I'm the one people turn to. I like being someone that people trust.

Same question!

[caesar]

I’ve always wanted to fight my battles alone and I have. I’m not claiming to be brave and strong, I had no choice.

I’ve always wished, since my childhood, that there was someone I could turn to, but there was none. A year ago, when things would've compelled me to turn to someone, I took off to a distant place where no one knows me and I have not communicated with anyone I knew, ever since. I received e-mails initially, but, now, everybody seems to have given up hope that I would reply, so they have stopped. Its been year; I’ve worked my butt off, I’ve made new friends and I have a new life. Life is a pain and it’s thrilling.

[caesar]

I forgot.............Same question.

[Chava]

I do, yes. But again most of them live over 10,000 km away... But i do have a close friend here whom is the most compassionate and empathetic person i've ever met. That's a real comfort.

Does one of your eyes see colour differently than the other? (mine does)

[papayahed]

Nope, both my eyes are brown.

Do you watch reality TV?

[AimusSage]

Not if I can help it

Do you care about the environmentalist?

[Chava]

Yes, and their cause,

Do you?

[mono]

Indeed, I consider myself a devout environmentalist. :nod:

To the person below me: about what time do you often wake in the morning, and what time do you usually go to sleep?

[AimusSage]

I usually try to get to bed around twelve but often find myself not turning in before 2 AM. Waking up is extremely random, but usually between 6 and 10 AM.

Same Q.

[RJbibliophil]

I usually try to be in bed, trying to sleep, not chatting with the lights out(I share a room) by 10:00-10:30 p.m. I usually get up between 7 and 8

Same Q

[caesar]

I've a very erratic sleeping schedule. I try to sleep whenever possible for 3-6 hours everyday.

same q.

[Chava]

Bed calls at 10, and my exhausted brain just hit's the standby mode. I usually wake up at 6.15 in the morning so that i can bike to school in time.

[ShoutGrace]

Always erratic. I work night, day, and afternoon shifts. In the fall, hopefully my school schedule will straighten everything out . . . my head doesn't work when I'm on this type of schedule.

SAME Q

[ktd222]

I usually go to sleep whenever I'm tired. Or when there is something important to do the next day, I'll try and sleep earlier. If I can't fall asleep(which is rare) I'll take a sleeping pill.

What boggled you most recently?

[Pendragon]

I was in Gatlinburg for Holiday over the weekend and saw a building under construction which they were delibertly building UPSIDE DOWN. Freaky! :rolleyes:

Same question, it's a good one! :brow:
