Game: Ask the Person Below You

[Pendragon]

I'm currently too depressed to have any clue, and unfortunately that's the gospel truth...

Same question

[zanna]

Some Chocolate chip cookies, a smile from a friend, white fluffy clouds in a blue sky, swing-dancing the night away, chilling with family, a good book . . . I'm a fan of the random smile from a friend you haven't seen in forever. That one is always good for me!

Same question: what is the cure for depression?

[papayahed]

Drugs? I don't know.


Gym Shoes or Sandals?

[Shalot]

i'll take drugs and some sandals (preferably with socks, because if I were on drugs I wouldn't think anything of wearing some black socks and tevas or birkinstocks to the market to buy organic produce and some cheetos)



do you have an odd neighbor? For example, there is a woman who lives in our area and we see her walking around wearing a back pack and she often goes to the grocery store or anywhere there is an outdoor ash can and she picks the cigarette butts out of it and puts them in a ziploc bag. In the summer, she wears a tank top and shorts and tennis shoes with some big socks, and in the winter she wears a trenchcoat. She always has hear back pack though. We've nicknamed her "crazy cigarette lady." (which isn't very nice, I know). So, have you got anyone like that in your area and if so, do tell.

[Aunty-lion]

I once had this neighbour who I thought was a victim of domestic violence. I had just moved into this house, and my flatmate and I kept hearing screams from the house next door, and whenever we saw the woman who lived there, there were bruises all over her face. But one day we got to talking and she apologised for her whiny kids always screaming about othing, and I also realised that she didn't have bruises, but a large birthmark on her face! Whoops!

Actually I live in the roughest area of my city, so, there's crazy people pretty much everywhere *sigh*.

What has made you laugh today?

[Bakiryu]

Moulin Rouge. My friends and i pulled a prank on my homo-ey friend (who isn't gay but kinda scared of females) and it was hilarious.

What crazy colors have you dyed your hair? or wanted to?

[Aunty-lion]

I shaved it all off once, and then died it blue when it grew back a bit. I always wanted to die it aquamarine, but was worried about regrowth. Now I am a boring grownup with brown hair.

What was the last thing that made you cry?

[Domer121]

This Morning I was watching a very sad episode of Sex and the City...what can I say? It got to me:)


Same question..its a good one:)

[papayahed]

I was conversing over email with a friend of mine that was transfered to another country (for work).


What's the last thing that made you laugh?

[Pendragon]

My morning e-mail of cartoons from cartoon network! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/ROFL.gif

What book did you last get disgusted with?

[papayahed]

Orlando - I guess I'm still not over that one.


What's the last sporting event you watched in person?

[Dante Wodehouse]

A middle school tennis match.

Do you think too much?

[samercury]

I don't think so

Have you ever seen a tiger?

[Aunty-lion]

Only in a zoo *sigh*

Who was the last person who you were truly repulsed by and why?

[kiz_paws]

Sadly, yes ... there is just something about an animal like that held in captivity that I find tear jerking. Sounds weird, but it is the truth.

Has anyone ever been 'skunked'?

[kiz_paws]

Ooops, I answered the same one that Aunty-Lion did, sorry 'bout that!

The last person who repulsed me was a drunk dancing like the Spice Girls and they were kinda shocking.

I repeat my Q: Has anyone ever been 'skunked' ?

[Aunty-lion]

Nope. There aren't any skunks in New Zealand. There are some pretty stinky boys though!

Have you ever eaten an olive, but thought it was going to be a grape?

[Moira]

No. Actually i hated olives until about 2 years ago and wouldn't even try one..... now i love them:).

Have you ever won something significant (money at the lottery, etc)?

[AdoreroDio]

significant? No.....not really- the biggest thing I've won is The Presidential Scholars Academic Award in Middle school....which really is nothing and I only got $50 for it.....

Have you ever been in an accident (car, plane, train....etc)?

[Reccura]

No... but my mom who's cleaning the fish slipped the knife off her hands and hit my feet - ouch.

[Pendragon]

To AndyDio's question: Two serious car wrecks, minor wounds.

Would you toss your favorite possission for love?

[Domer121]

Yes, I believe I would..

What is your favorite time of year?

[Bakiryu]

winter

do you like anime?

[samercury]

Depends- there are some really wicked awesome ones(:D) that I love but others are just...

Same question

[Dante Wodehouse]

It may just be that the people that I know who are into it are exceptionally weird and "Look son, that is what you don't want to be like in the future" ish, but I can't stand it.

What do you think is your greatest fault?

[quasimodo1]

My greatest fault: I'm afraid they are done deeds and the motivations for them no longer exist. Still, if there is one that still lives in me...it is fear of and yet attraction to some kind of intimacy, though I do whitle away at it. To complete this with a question, why are we so driven to risk it? That may be just a rhetorical question.

[Pendragon]

I am probably a little too open with people, TMI, you know? And a lot of the time when I know I have the right to remain silent, I simply cannot seem to find the ability, and that gets me in trouble.

Very good question. I think I'll pass it on.

[Domer121]

I would say that I am way too curious..I have gotten in trouble because I love to know about everything all the time! I also like to talk about my finds.. I can be a bit of a mess sometimes:)
I will pass that question on again..

[Bakiryu]

I'm too sensible and trusting, people hurt me and then expect me to forget them. I get used a lot too, got my heart broken more times than i can count. I could say my greatest fault is forgiving happy times but keeping the sorrow.

same q ?

[Dante Wodehouse]

My biggest fault is that I am somewhat apathetic in my dealings with people.

Same question?

[quasimodo1]

I am no longer apathetic (unless it involves cerain kinds of politics, which we don't discuss here) and I used to be extremely arrogant but have mostly cured myself of that and maybe even gathered a measure of humility. Did you know that the root of the word "arrogance" comes from the Latin verb...arrago... I sieze for myself. Interesting. Perhaps you confuse some of what you call arrogance with a level of confidence. quasimodo1

[papayahed]

My greatest fault? I'm just to damn cute.:D


What would be the first thing you do when you move to a new town?

[quasimodo1]

Interesting you should ask that. It is a question that has been with me. First, I would not go to a bar or any such place. But that is what I would not do. I guess I'd have a topo map of it and check out what nature provided in the way of park or wilderness. quasimodo1

[kiz_paws]

The first thing that I would do is ride my bike around the new neighborhood, just to familiarize myself with what I shall be looking at for however long.

What is your favorite stir-fry item?

[Pendragon]

Chicken Teri-aki. Which I probably misspelled! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Loser.gif

What has been the defining point of your life so far?

[kiz_paws]

Perspectives.... My dad saved me from drowning ... nothing else matters but family and the fight to survive, and embracing the beauty in life.

Good question, Pen :)

Same to the next poster?

[Domer121]

The fact that throughout my rough childhood I was able to survive and that I know that no matter what happens I will be okay..

Same q.

[Dante Wodehouse]

When I learned to read. Reading has, directly and indirectly, shaped my whole personality.

Same question, it's a good one.

[quasimodo1]

Defining part of a life...well...I've had a few. The latest, the death of my wife. Just how defining, thankfully, not suicidilly defining. Waiting for another, hopefully, more uplifting. quasimodo1

[Pendragon]

My condolences and prayers, Quasi. That would be hard to deal with, and I could not even begin to know how you must have felt. I trust that things will work out for you. We cannot bring them back, but we can keep their memory alive. That is their legacy from us. And perhaps one day, we can go to them. My heart to yours, mon ami. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Peace.gif

What would you say to a friend in this situtation?

[papayahed]

I don't know. I never know what to say except I'm sorry for your loss, if I can do anything let me know.

What's the last thing that made you laugh?

[andave_ya]

In the "I won the lottery" thread by Bakiryu, I posted that my dad sometimes calls me sue-sue. Bakiryu posted back and said, "I like that one, but I hope your dad's not a lawyer!":lol:

do you have a favorite sport? what is it?

[Pendragon]

Basketball. Before I became disabled and gained all this weight, I played almost every day with guys almost half my age. Loved it! Had a tee-shirt here for winning the foul shot competetion. It took time for me to develop hand/eye coordination, but when I did, I was deadly with a basketball.http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Basketball.gif

Were you ever teased by other kids when you grew up or currently? Why?

[kiz_paws]

I was teased by kids growing up because of my extremely difficult to pronounce/spell last name (it was Icelandic, and that's all I shall say). But the bright side is that they gave me a cool nickname that I still use to this day, lol.

I interrupt this thread to offer my sincere good wishes to Quasimodo and family in their loss. God Bless.

I will ask the next poster when they were small, they may have had a dream as to "what will you be when you grow up". If you are not too shy, can I ask what yours was? :)

[papayahed]

I wanted to be a dostor then I saw blood and changed my mind to scientist.

Same Question.

[kilted exile]

I wanted to manage Glasgow Rangers Football Club. Other boys grow up wanting to play I wanted to manage, still do.

Same Q

[motherhubbard]

I wanted to be a mom. I'm only just now thinking of a career for the first time.

Have you ever loved someone and not told them?

[Bakiryu]

yes. I'm that kinda of person that loves someone but will never ever tell them. I'm too shy and fear rejection, I guess.

same question.

[kiz_paws]

Yes, loving from afar was a great passtime of mine, sigh. But my life turned out not too bad, so it cannot be a bad thing methinks.

I will pose that same question to you, poster below me!

[quasimodo1]

Loving from afar, yes, i know about that. Tried it for quite a while with god and his kin. No luck there. Got married, that worked much better but people don't live forever, can you believe it? Tried unrequieted love too, it was ok and the turbulence level was way down. Think i'll just try "like" for awhile. quasimodo1

[Aunty-lion]

Well, i guess I'll just answer the same again,

I myself am not a big lover from afar. I have experienced unrequited love, but I tend to let the person know, and find out that way. I guess then, if the love is unrequited, at least i'll know there's no chance and be able to move on.

Am happily engaged now though.

What subject was your worst one at school?

[snow9999]

who's your hero??

[kiz_paws]

truthfully, my dad, cuz he saved me from a watery grave. **yay dad!!**

Who is your hero, poster below me?

[Pendragon]

Never really thought about it until the other day. I gave a man a ride because he locked his keys in his car and needed to go home for a second set. He offered to pay me, but I noticed his tag had a Purple Heart veteran on it. I indicated the tag and told him he already paid me more than I could ever repay him. Think about that the next time you enjoy your freedom. Men like that guy are the reason we still have it. Not the elected man, but the one who puts his life on the line. There's a hero. The police, firefighters, rescue squad personal, forest rangers, soldiers, sailors, ordinary citizens who go the extra mile, to save a stranger, they are my heroes. The man who will lay his life on the line for others, there is my hero.

Same question.

[motherhubbard]

There is this older woman who has endured unspeakable hardships. Her first husband was childlike for decades after an accident, one of her daughters was violently attacked as a young girl (it was bad), her second husband suffered a stroke just a month after their wedding and has never regained the ability to speak. She has cared for dozens of sick and dieing friends and relatives and this is just the things that come quickly to mind.

I have never seen her that she wasn’t smiling. Even when I’ve come to offer help she has asked what she can do for me. She is a real trooper and my example and my hero.

Why did you last cry? (for me it was this vid)

[kiz_paws]

I cried because I hate getting screamed at... :sick:

Same question to the next poster?

[Pendragon]

Unfortunately, my illness sometimes messes with my emotions. Last time I cried, it was because I was having a crisis. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/ISNF.gif

What is your worst habit?

One of my best friends ... on the phone ... 2 minutes ago.

how were you dressed at the last wedding/ big party you attended?

[andave_ya]

It was a bridal shower at my house for a woman in our church who's getting married. I wore an antique white pineapple? lace dress that was first my grandmother's, then my mom's, and now mine. With it my Mom lent me her white gloves and blue beaded flower pin that matched with my blue denim shoes. :p lots of fun.

same question.

[Pendragon]

Suit and tie. I was soloist singer on "The Rose" and had a young lady accompany me vocally on "You Needed Me." Hopefully, I will never sing at another wedding!

Would you face an fairly large audience you've never met with maybe two hours or less to prepare? (The only people you know are those that came with you, and half of them you met the day before)!

[Redzeppelin]

Would you face an fairly large audience you've never met with maybe two hours or less to prepare? (The only people you know are those that came with you, and half of them you met the day before)!

Yep.

Would you stand up in a crowded restaurant and sing "Happy Birthday" solo to a friend if requested to do so?

Do you wear socks to bed?

What's your earliest memory? (Maybe too much of an elaborate question...)

[Pendragon]

There's an entire thread dedicated to that subject... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Woebegone.gif

Do you feel old on this forum?

[quasimodo1]

Dear Pen: I don't feel old, most days; but on this forum, sometimes because of the postings and the obvious youth of those who write them, yes by comparison. But that's silly, old is always by comparison. Psychologically, I feel relatively young, even immature, some days, by virtue of those I know and those I read, who seem to have a better handle on time as a force of nature. When a crowd I used to hang around with years ago would say...snooze and you loose, well, I'm not buying that entirely but somewhat. Tempus fugit, like it or not. quasimodo1

[papayahed]

Since Quasi didn't ask a question I'll answer Pen's.

Even though I'm one of the older members I don't feel old on this forum, but I can clearly see a difference between myself and some of the younger members.


What kind of shoes are you wearing now?

You really don't want the truely depressing answer to that question...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Woebegone.gif

What keeps you posting?

[motherhubbard]

I want to see what happens next. I want to improve myself. I want to learn to write something that expresses myself clearly.


what are you afraid to change?

[Pendragon]

Almost anything anymore. It seems I cannot do anything right, so why not just sit back and let people figure it out and let me me know, eh? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Arrowhead.gif


Do you ever get so fed up you feel like just driving off into the sunset?

[Countess]

Do you ever get so fed up you feel like just driving off into the sunset?

Actually it's more like driving off into a tree...but the sunset would do just as well. Definitely.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
;)

[motherhubbard]

enough to get him through the winter

do you ever want to just tell the truth regardless of how bad the outcome will be?

[Shalot]

yes --- it would be awesome to tell my coworker that I wanted her to stop talking to me because her breath stinks. And I would love to just tell my aunt to not talk to me at all, instead of carrying on bs polite conversation.

do you have a garden?

[kiz_paws]

Shalot, funny you should ask if I have a garden -- we just today, planted our flowers! Sitting outside on the veranda (with coffee, natch) was such a pleasure this evening, for sure! Spring is nature's way of saying LETS PARTY!!

[And quasi, I raise my mug to you (last coffee of the night). Cheers!]

Question to the next poster: If you could own any painting that exists anywhere, which one would you chose (assuming that you had a money tree in your yard, with never ending greenstuff growing...)? :lol:

Have you ever had to go to the emergency room?

[papayahed]

yep. When I was little with an ear infection and twice for work related injuries.

Good one, Same Q.

[kilted exile]

Ok, lets see if I can remember them all:

First time I was 1 &1/2after a convulsion. They took some spinal fluid to test it incase I had meningitis.

When I was 2 I dislocated my elbow doing ring a ring a rosies with the mother & brother to rock & roll music.

Various times for X-rays on injuries from playing rugby (ribs, shoulder, jaw)

x-rays on ankle injured whilst playing football (soccer) when I was 11, 17 yr old crunched my ankle swelled up like a balloon not broken however.

Broken knuckle after punching a brick wall (knuckle now on wrong side of hand)

Ankle after showing off playing football (soccer) against some canucks - did a triple step-over while dribbling, first 2 went ok third tripped over ball. again only badly sprained

I think that is a complete answer.


How many bones have you broken?

[BlueSkyGB]

Actually too many to count....rolled vehicle...1 1/4 roll over into a small ravine..landed in small creek....various breaks...nose, ribs...etc...:D

most vivid memory?

[Domer121]

When I was 15 I went with a family, I babysat for them but they were more like my family than anything, and I was out on the dock with Megan and I read to her and it was the perfect day.:):) I wish more days were like that...


Where is your favorite spot to relax?

[RJbibliophil]

Under the bridge

What are you reading?

[Pensive]

I am about to finish Sons and Lovers.

Do you appreciate a friend when she has done over-makeup and she is not looking good to you? And she asks you how she is looking. You also know it would hurt her if you say anything negative about her looks... Would you rather lie than be truthful?

[Pendragon]

I always tell people not to ask me if they don't want me to be honest. If they ask anyway, I will give an honest opinion. I have yet to loose a friend over an honest opinion, but I have had them get mad a few times.

Do you like to help people who only call when they need something?

[Madhuri]

I am always in this situation, especially with friends, and I end up helping them, if I am capable of doing it. And, then after they get their work done, they disappear. :rolleyes: I can't say if I dislike these people (because they have been my friends, so there is a soft corner for them), but yes most definitely I don't like this attitude.

Same question..

[Shurtugal]

um... i only have several friends and their all my age(children) so they really never need help, they have their parents.

how would you like to die? ( I'm a depressing person)

[Shurtugal]

my computar is still acting funny forgive it. the question is still up for answer's.

[BlueSkyGB]

Doing something I love....:)

My uncle died while golfing, a friend in college while hiking....

Interesting subject...


Same Question???

[BibliophileTRJ]

how would you like to die? ( I'm a depressing person)

Morbid, maybe, but not necessarily depressing.

As a fairly morbid person myself; I'll answer: Horribly

Horrible deaths tend to be quick. That's what I'm after. Something quick that will give my friends a great story to tell.

"Did you hear about Tim? He was splattered all over the sidewalk when that frozen chunk of airplane poop fell on his head!" or "He was sliced in half length-wise when he tripped and fell on the train tracks!" or "He was trying to fix his own furnace..... they still can't find all of the pieces of him!"

Same question simply because I can't think of another one.

[Haven]

Zippy, BlueSky! I was just about to post. :) Sheesh Bibliophile rush job here... :)

Peacefully and in my sleep without having suffered any long term illnesses, having seen too many loved ones go through that. But also that my death would not cause any others pain.

on dying, what would your last wish be?

[symphony]

hmmm i guess i'd like to die with some dignity, if u know what i mean.

Question: Is it really that weird to be in love with ur window-tree?! I dont know why everyone seems to be finding it peculiar (they think i'm slowly going nuts!) but I do love it. Does it sound as fishy to u as my other acquaintances? :(


edit: oops my mistake, didnt see the post above me at that moment. i'm a slow runner!
okay my last wish will be to have a black seduction icecream. yeah u heard it right. ;)

[papayahed]

Welllll, in love? or deeply infatuated? I just moved and am deeply infatuated with the Ducks that live near the pond just outside my patio. I could watch them for hours. I am completely and totally taken with them, they waddle around and chase each other and dive for fish.

Same question as I'd like to know anothers opinion as well.

[Haven]

Fast moving thread...'Symphony' below is for your

If I knew what a 'window tree' was, then maybe I could comment. What is it? :)



Papayahed... think you, me and symph practically simultaneous...

[BlueSkyGB]

Fast moving thread...'Symphony' below is for your

If I knew what a 'window tree' was, then maybe I could comment. What is it?

.

off topic, here too.....
but that ice cream sounds great.....will have to go hunt it down....
sounds like my new "holy grail"......:lol: :D :)

[symphony]

Window-tree= The tree at ur window :p

Papaya, thanks for ur answer, i guess yeah it could be something like a deep infatuation, all i know is i feel a lot for this tree, deeply. :) And like u and ur ducks, i can watch it for hours when its raining and its leaves are shivering.

alright, next question: If u could be another person, who would u have chosen? (can be both friends or great personalities)

[CaptureLife]

hmm... this is hard. Someone with a lot of money who never has to worry about working. Ever. That way, I could spend as much time as I want writing and reading and being the lazy person I am at heart. Sorry, no single person comes to mind (cough cough *Paris Hilton, but trust me, that money and life would not have been wasted on me. Truthfully, I can't stand her irresponsible lifestyle. No, that money would have gone to a good place and I would have time to write something decent instead of the slop that has been springing forth from my pen as of late...:flare: but I digress...:blush: )

Come on; you would want to be lazy too.

Next question: If Hollywood made a movie about your life, what would it be called and who would star as you?

[andave_ya]

A Courageous Eccentric: Tales of a Confirmed Bibliophile, starring Cate Blanchett.
But she (unfortunately) doesn't look like me.

Same question, it's a good one.

[BlueSkyGB]

Sam Elliott stars in "What a Long Strange Trip its Been"

Same ???

[Haven]

Scarlett Johansson: as Eliza in Quicksilver Vol. I of the Baroque Cycle. Would be a better film. But me by S.J. in "Strange Days"


Same question: good one.

[PrinceMyshkin]

"For Jonah, who will be 25 in the year 2000"

Are we ever going to be able to reconcile the General Theory of Relativity with Quantum Dynamics?

[kiz_paws]

You know, I pondered that one only yesterday, whilst walking my dog... I can't say, so I guess we won't be finding out today, at any rate... :lol:

Your family is planning a super big event for your next birthday, and have decided to have a live band play in your honor. Assuming that they have the capabilities to pull this off, which band would you like to perform?

[Shurtugal]

um... mine wouldn't be a band, it would be a singer. but having to keep on the topic i would say rascal flatts.

now my turn to get your brains thinking-what's the most important thing in life to you, your goal? (i'm wanna answer it myself but i'll be nice and have you.)

p.s. concerning who the singer would be, going off subjuect, it is my alltime favorte, one and only, my inspiration- Billy Gilman. (Andya already knows that.)

[dramasnot6]

Hmm...I don't really have a specific goal that dominates my life, but I hold striving for education and standing up for my various beliefs very important.

What article of clothing holds the most sentimental value for you and why?

[BibliophileTRJ]

I have a very old very threadbare sweatshirt that I stole from my first boyfriend (the one that I posted about dying in a motorcycle accident). I treasure it because it is all I have (other than my somewhat tainted memories) to remember him by.... no pictures or anything else.

That's an interesting question, so I'll pass it along.

[kiz_paws]

Well, I had a pair of really cool jeans that I embroidered a bumble bee on the right side pocket. I wore those jeans till they basically wore out, but couldn't find the capacity to toss them in the junk. Those jeans went through thick and thin with me (hmmmm ... they actually did, because my weight has fluctuated back and forth over the years), so yeah, that answers the question.

Good question, so I will pose it to the next poster...

[BlueSkyGB]

An old Jerry Garcia T-shirt, threadbare and lots of holes in it..started out, more or less as a joke, years ago when I realized it had made a few concert trips to see the Grateful Dead with me, my roommate at that time was heading to a show without me and took the shirt, since then it has made more trips to the various shows with me and a couple of other friends...
it has retired now and hangs, in the back of my closet with lots of memories.

Interesting question, I'll pass it along also...
and here I thought I was the only one that hung on to old clothes that bring back memories...:D

[andave_ya]

An old white pineapple lace dress that was first my grandmother's, my Mother's, and now mine. I've only worn it twice but it's such a pretty dress with lots of history in it.

Why does it get so hot on days you have to concentrate on something intensely boring?

[papayahed]

Because Nature is a Mother.


What magazines do you subscribe to?

[Pensive]

None.

When you feel upset, what do you do usually to cheer yourself up?

[quasimodo1]

One of two things...try a long walk or expensive coffee or both Really upset...start loading a backpack or canoe.

[BibliophileTRJ]

Since Quasimodo didn't ask a new question; I too' will answer Pensive's.

What do I do to cheer myself up when feeling blue? The answer should come as no surprise to anyone on this forum....... Loose myself in the pages of a book! Isn't escapism a wonderful thing!?!


If you could choose one LitNet Member to meet in person, who would it be?

[papayahed]

I can only choose one? That is hardly fair - that's like making me choose my favorite pair of shoes. ok here goes: bibschernightbadvirgjay and I know I'm forgetting someone or at least a few.


Same question.

[Shalot]

I am thinking I would like to meet some of the peeps from the other side of the pond.

I can't narrow it down to just one person.

Is there anyone on Lit Net that you absolutely don't want to meet? (a yes or no will suffice ;) )

[andave_ya]

Nope. There is no one on the LitNet that I do not want to meet. Did I say that right? I think so.

OK, back to the question before the last. Who from the LitNet do you want to meet? One person, mind. :)

[kiz_paws]

Well, I'd have like to have met that Starrwriter person, they sounded so incredibly interesting and fun. I believe that they have been banned , but I still select Starrwriter (hope I spelled the name correctly). Note that there would be a helluva party if we LitNet'ers ever got together... Downright dangerous, methinks! :lol: :lol:

What song triggers emotional memories for you when you hear it?

[Shurtugal]

several... first come to mind is "we go on" by billy gilman. i sang it to myself the day my bunny died. another is "have you forgotten". it's about 9-11 and the war in iraq. makes me tingle inside when i hear it.

next question... i'm going to be less depressing- what's the stupid joke you ever heard?

[Shurtugal]

still acting stupid! question still up.

[Shurtugal]

my computar is still acting stupid!

[Brigitte]

The stupidest joke I've ever heard was...

"Knock, knock."

And that was it... haha.



What's your absolute favorite candy/bar of chocolate?

[quasimodo1]

At last a meaningful question: I choose truffles in dark chocolate.

[applepie]

Quasimodo you didn't add a question so I'll just anser and add a new question. Favorite candy is Dove dark chocolate. I love to have it with a glass of Merlot.

What was the advice somone gave you that had the most profound effect on your life?

[Brigitte]

Dark chooocolate *melts* ehehe.

I think it might have been not to give up. You know, in a very serious kind of a way. I'm trying my best.


Who has been the most helpful in your life?

[quasimodo1]

I'd have to say the witching hours between three AM and dawn. Just seems like things are clicking at that time. Next question: Besides the time of day, what about the physical environment that brings out the muse?

[Brigitte]

Music. I have to listen to emo music, feel melancholy, and be at my computer to type something elegant, poetic, and/or meaningful.

What song/poem reminds you of yourself?

[kiz_paws]

Freezing cold storm going on outside, where the wind howls. There is absolute silence in the house, except for the tick, tick, tick of my trusty clock. And my feet are warmed by none other than my lovely companion, Pepper. Those are the physical conditions that render success (usually).

In the summertime? Well, I guess that I suck at writing... :lol:

Oh, Brigitte beat me to answer Quasi's question....

OK, the song that reminds me of me would have to be All Apologies, Nirvana

Next question: How old do you think going on a first date should be?

[Brigitte]

Haha, kinda confused by the question. I'm thiiinking you mean how old should a person be when they go on a first date and not when is too old to go on a first date. *confuzzled*

I'm soo... icky about dating (and conservative, whereas I'm normally really liberal)... so 18. XD;;

How many books is "too many books" to be reading all at one time? :>

[quasimodo1]

No more than three except when researching something and that doesn't mean you are actually reading said books. quasimodo1

[Brigitte]

Ahh. Ask a question. :0 haha.

[Shalot]

Does quasi ever ask a question in this game? :D

[kiz_paws]

He does sometimes (I think?), and when there is no question posed, I just keep answering the above one, ha-ha!

If your friend has an eating disorder, and you are totally sure that they need help, what would you do?

[Shalot]

I would probably just say "you have an eating disorder and you need help." Then I would step back, because there is only so much a person can do.

What's your favorite dessert?

[BlueSkyGB]

Cheesecake...

Have you ever lied to someone, in order to spare their feelings?

[Shalot]

well yeah, sometimes it's the most human thing you can do. Sometimes people want you to lie to them

do you need constant reassurance?

[applepie]

Not normally. I'm pretty sure of myself in most things, and downright arrogant in others.

Do you believe in one true love or the ability to make your own love?

[Shurtugal]

true love. no doubt.

do you believe in fairies?

[applepie]

Always, everyone should believe in fairies along with unicorns and the mermaids :)

In the spirit of the question I just answered, what is the one thing children believe in that no one should stop believing in?

[Pendragon]

God.

Why do people insist on the "everybody else but me" clause when it comes to things such as respecting other's beliefs?

[Moira]

God.

Why do people insist on the "everybody else but me" clause when it comes to things such as respecting other's beliefs?

Lack of tolerance.......

What was the best day of your life? Why?

[Shalot]

I can't remember the best day of my life, but I can tell you that the best time of my life (so far) was when I was a kid between the ages of 7 and 11 (aprox). My super-talented cousin was still my best friend in the world, I had two best friends at school, two other best friends at summer day camp, and I didn't fully comprehend the meaning of the world alchoholic. I wasn't limited by reality or depression and when my parents told me I could be whatever I wanted to be when I grew up, I believed them. I also thought that one day I could do whatever I set out to do. I was in for a major slap in the face though.


Has anyone ever actually slapped you in the face?

[applepie]

No one has ever dared. I would throw punches back.

Have you ever taken any form of martial arts?

[MysticalWriter]

Has anyone ever actually slapped you in the face?

Haha! Somone has slapped me in the face (last year). She was so mad at me.


No one has ever dared. I would throw punches back.

Have you ever taken any form of martial arts?


Yes! For about one year.

Has you ever loved someone who seemed to have loved you, but then left you? left you for another?

[motherhubbard]

Absolutely! And, unrequited love’s a bore.

Have you ever wet your pants?

[MysticalWriter]

Absolutely! And, unrequited love’s a bore.

Have you ever wet your pants?

Um, not while I was awake, but asleep... When I was younger. :(


Hm, Have you ever had a reoccuring dream?

[motherhubbard]

yes, since I was a child.

have you ever shaved just the part of your legs that shows below your pants?

[applepie]

All the time. It is all that I can get done most days :)

Have you ever destroyed an embarassing picture just so no one else would see it?

[motherhubbard]

every chance I get!

Have you ever cheated at cards?

[applepie]

Nope, I'm not good enough to pull it off.

What sort of ritual do you follow to unwind at the end of the day?
