[motherhubbard]

If I could unwind I would be asleep right now!

same question

[applepie]

Same deal. It normally takes a good two or three hours to settle after a long day. Coming here seems to be the routine for the moment.

What do you normally do for only your personal amusement that no one else has a part of?

[MysticalWriter]

Hm, I think... I dont know... Thats a hard one...
ermmm

same Q

What's your favorite time of day?

[quasimodo1]

Like General Lee, my favorite part of the day are those etherial hours before the dawn."The skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches, as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found. " Miguel de Unamuno

[quasimodo1]

I failed to ask a question. Let's go with the "what is your favourite time of day?".

[Logos]

Between 6 and 10 am, but especially sunrise :D

Next Q:

What do you think is your pet's favourite time of day?

[Domer121]

10am.....when he takes his morning nap:)



What is your favorite movie that you saw when you were a kid?

[Haven]

Oddly enough it was 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'... my Mum took me as she wanted to see it. I also remember the movie that as I child I hated.... So.


What was the worst/scariest/ movie that you saw when you were a kid?

[Domer121]

The Exorcist.....my siblings were watching it when I was 6....they were a lot older... and I snuck in and watched it,.....I still get scared when I think about it....^^^^ I just watched Breakfast at Tiffanys last night:):)

What wis your favorite band/ music?

[papayahed]

Sadly it was Motley Crue.

Same Question.

[Bakiryu]

Music: I'm into emo rock. Band: Kill Hannah.

what was your high school label? (ex: prep, goth, punk)

[applepie]

Outcast. I didn't fit with any of the groups.

What was your most memorable moment of high school?

[andave_ya]

i'm still in high school. I bet it'll be when I am able to say, "I am done with high school algebra for the rest of my life!" And I'll be praying that I don't have to do any of it in college. :p

What is your favorite gemstone/precious gem?

[kiz_paws]

amethyst (because it is usually found in amidst beautiful foamy quartz, and it's breathtaking)

Good question -- so same to next poster! :)

[papayahed]

Diamonds !

What's the worst chore you did/are going to do this weekend?

[Shalot]

Probably cleaning the toilets.

Do you change your sheets every week (or do you use sheets at all?)

[papayahed]

I try to change them every week.

Do you wear slippers around the house?

[Shalot]

I have slippers but I tend to wear my flip flops more than the fuzzy blue slippers I have. Those tend to sit there, unnoticed and unworn

Do you wear socks to bed?

[papayahed]

Sometimes but most of the time they come off sometime during the night anyways.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

[Shalot]

actually I don't know :blush:

I have an assortment of sandals, boots, pumps and flats (and some of those fall in two or more categories). I justify this by telling myself that I have a job and if I show up everyday in the same pair of heels and hose I am going to stink, and then I will come to work and find an anonymous gift of foot deodorant in my chair.

This happened to the lady with the halitosis --- she came in one day only to find listerine in her chair.

Isn't it sad how you have to spend money you don't have so that can dress properly for the job you don't like? (It's things like this that make me think that I may have descended into one of Dante's layers of hell.)

[dramasnot6]

I suppose that's the case with my school uniform. I hate it, it's expensive, yet I put it on everyday to wear to a school I despise.

What's the first thing you cut back on when you're low on money?

[Petruchio]

well...i m just 16 and there really is no need to cut back on anything!(THANK GOD!)
But if there would be, then i would cut back on all the junk food!

What scares you the most?

[Pendragon]

Other people... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Hommies.gif

IF you had 1 million dollars, what would you do?

[andave_ya]

some to church, some to college for me and my sister, and the rest, on books and cds. :D.

What do you like most about your life?

[MysticalWriter]

Hm, besides something spiritual, but more material.
The complications. Complications help form who I am and bring out the true me when it comes to determining what to do. It also shows what I am not- and what I should strive to be.


Same Q

[Pensive]

What do you like most about your life?

Hehe don't make me love life so much that I start fearing death! :p

[MysticalWriter]

[motherhubbard]

goodness, enough to stretch to the moon

would you change your past if you could?

[Adolescent09]

Yes, I have repented many ill deeds which are at the mercy of God to accept. May Jehovah be with me even when I am sequestered from everything that makes me whole..May he be with everyone for that matter..

Do you have a pooch that sheds profusely?

[Bakiryu]

Nope.But I have an evil cat (called Cabbage) who's full of murderous intent.

What was the last time you had a really good dream? And what was it?

[Pendragon]

To misquote the Incredible Hulk TV Show "Don't mess with my dreams, friends. You wouldn't like me, when I dream.... It's like the all night horror show in full color and surround sound, amd more like I experience than dream.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Moodswings.gif

Same question...

[andave_ya]

well, I don't remember a lot of my dreams but for the funny ones. Try seeing Fred Astaire dance-stepping up a black hill in a dutch cap and black skirt. Not exactly entrancing, lol!

Same question

[Shalot]

Last night I had a great dream. My husband and I bought a bunch of bird seed and squirrel food and we put it out in the back yard. So every morning there are all these bunnies and squirrels and chipmunks in our yard and it's really neat. So my dream was about all the wildlife in our yard. What happened is the cat went outside and started a conversation with a little dog that happened to be there trying to get some chow and the cat brought the dog into the house and told me that we were going to have company for a while. and then I woke up and the news report that Liz Claiborne died was on the radio. And then I went to work. :(

Do you ever go to church and find yourself thinking about sex instead of listening to the sermon and then do you feel bad about it?

[Bakiryu]

Well I've never been to church except once as a small child but not really, i think about it and i accept it. I'm even writing a sci-fi version of Brokeback mountain!

Describe yourself in one word!

[Shalot]

Well I've never been to church except once as a small child but not really, i think about it and i accept it. I'm even writing a sci-fi version of Brokeback mountain!

Describe yourself in one word!


I don't want to describe myself in one word (I'll leave that one to the next poster), but a sci fi version of Brokeback sounds pretty good. :thumbs_up

[Bakiryu]

Thank you! I watched it right now and I almost cried!

~Look aliens are invading earth! what do you do?

[dramasnot6]

What I would do for any new visitors, invite them in for tea and hope their excretory system can handle it.

What was the last book you really enjoyed reading?

[farnoosh]

i enjoy all of my books ,but i love to read poems that are written by Hafez
(an iranian poetic that is very very famus)

[Shalot]

since farnoosh didn't ask anything I will answer Scher's question also.

I just went to the library and checked The Brief History of the Dead and it was a good, light summer read.

According to this book, you go to a city and continue to live there with all the other dead people as long as there is someone still in the living world who remembers you. If no one on earth is still alive to remember you, then you disappear from the city.

I don't want to say anymore in case anyone wants to read this. I don't want to spoil it.

What thing do you do to release your creativity?

[RobinHood3000]

Listen to music that coincides with the mood I'm trying to write in.

Same question!

[Pendragon]

Play guitar amilessly. Sooner or later I'm humming something, and fumbling for words. In short stories I always stop in the middle of a sentence, so that when I come back, I have to figure out what I was trying to say.

Same question, it's a winner! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/QWERTY.gif

[Bakiryu]

I re-read my own work while listening to music.

what's your favorite poem?

[dramasnot6]

Great question! Such a hard one to answer though...ouch...
I love so so many. "If" by Rudyard Kipling, Poe's "The Raven", right now I am in love with ee cumming's "since feeling is first"
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis




same q!

[Shalot]

My favorite poem of the moment (and this changes periodically) is by William Blake:

The Garden of Love

I laid me down upon a bank,
Where Love lay sleeping;
I heard among the rushes dank
Weeping, weeping.

Then I went to the heath and the wild,
To the thistles and thorns of the waste;
And they told me how they were beguiled,
Driven out, and compelled to the chaste.

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.

Next question: What is the best movie you've seen recently?

[weepingforloman]

The Departed. Awesome movie.

Here's one for the athletically inclined: if you had to stake your life on a one-on-one game between LeBron and Kobe, who would you pick?

[papayahed]

I'll pick LeBron but that is only because I don't like Kobe but don't really know how they stack up on the court.

What's the last song you listened too?

[Shurtugal]

"Why is love so hard to find" by jesse mccartney. i am ashamed that it wasn't one of my country songs.

[smartgirl]

idk. have u read the 6th book bakiryu?

[Bakiryu]

Yup: got it as soon as it came out.

do you think Harry will die?

[smartgirl]

idk maybe, maybe not. I like the theory where harry AND voldemort die, but to answer about snape, i don't like him that much. especially since he turned out to be the "Half-Blood Prince."

who do u think r the 2 that will die in the 7th book?

[barbara0207]

I'm afraid he will. Rowling made it quite clear this was to be the last Potter book. So she hasn't got a choice, has she?

Do you think Ron and Hermione will marry?

Edit: Sorry, I was too slow.
To answer your question: Harry and Voldemort.

[Mortis Anarchy]

Sure why not!!

(going along with the theme) Do you think Lupin will die?

I do. I actually think that one of the weasley's will die, as well as lupin.

what do u think will happen to Harry?

[Bakiryu]

probably end up killing v-mort.

do you think they'll make 7 movies?

[smartgirl]

i do, but the three actors (emma, daniel, and rupert) will be old

what do u think will happen to ginny?

[Bakiryu]

probably end up with harry, (i never liked them togheter in the first place)

Do you think Ronald *gasps* will die?

[smartgirl]

Idk he might. But i don't think Ginny will end up with harry because in the 6th book, harry said that he and ginny can't date, because it's too dangerous for her, and that he needs to stay away from her.

So, do u think that the school will stay open?

[weepingforloman]

Nope. But it will be in the book.

So, are you tired of the Harry Potter talk?

[smartgirl]

i am now. I love harry potter, but something else could spark my interest, say.....football!

Do you play football?

[weepingforloman]

Yep.

Texans or Cowboys?

[smartgirl]

idk, Cowboys i guess.

Are u like the quarterback or something?

Nope. Tackle.

This exact scenario plays out on a nightly basis at my home.....

(I do, however, routinely look at his internet browser history)


Same question.

[Domer121]

I have to say I would be greatly tempted....I have done so in the past, I would like to say I have learned my lesson...once you breech that trust, though, it is hard to get it back...so I would opt for no...

A Salami Sandwich.

Same Q:
What did you have for breakfast this morning?

Because they have to hide the juicy ones.

[RobinHood3000]

A present I got last Christmas - The Feckin Book of Everything Irish.

Same question!

[Adolescent09]

I've read Mein Kampf once and I will be reviewing it again sometime soon. I'd never saunter in the street with a book like that dangling from my arm. Since I don't have a back-pack I think the safest place to hide it whilst toting it around would be somewhere near my private parts.

Now I will answer Granny's question. I would change his snoring into regular breathing noises....

If you could change one thing about yourself in the blink of an eye, what would that one thing be?

[Pensive]

I am not sure. Perhaps the thing I am considering as 'evil' in me is what makes me 'me' and is good for me. But then again, it might have been the fact I am sensitive to a few topics, take what people say on heart. Get hurt easily. I would like to change that and would like to become more strong when it comes to hearing people's talks/criticism.

Same Question.

[Haven]

My bank account :(


I you could live in any period, in times gone by, when would it be and def. need to know why? :D

[Shurtugal]

i would say... hmm... i'm not sure... i'm just fine now. because we are learning so much of the past they have lost of thing, like reanactments, that you can get an idea of how it was but not have to change the way you live now.

if you had magic powers what would you do with them?

[Bakiryu]

Um.....Take over the world! And create a just, peaceful government with me as Supreme RUler, mwha ha ha ha!

If you could have anything what would it be?

[kiz_paws]

That would be the fine art of speaking/writing/reading Icelandic, of course! ;)

Good question, next poster, see question above!

[Pendragon]

Happy.

Question is two post above.

[Mortis Anarchy]

The ability to learn by osmosis. Seriously.:)

Same question.

[Bakiryu]

The ability to wish any book i want on my hand :) I would save A LOT of money.


What was the last book you read?

[Shurtugal]

eldest. i reread it!:D :lol:

if you had a dragon what would you do with it?

[papayahed]

Take it on the road and charge people for dragon rides.


what's the last song you heard on the radio that you sang along too?

[Shalot]

That whiny song about having a bad day by Daniel Powter




Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day


(had to google for song name, artist and lyrics and now I have the stupid song stuck in my head just remembering it -- grrrr)

Have you ever broken a radio because you hated the song coming out of it so much?

[kiz_paws]

No, I have not broken a radio 'cuz I HATED a song, but I broke one 'cuz I LIKED one, believe it or not (lol). Let's just say that the radio flew out of my hands while I pretended to be a rockstar... :blush: :blush: :blush:

Have you ever whistled at the Northern Lights because you were told that they are summoned in this fashion?

[Shalot]

Have you ever whistled at the Northern Lights because you were told that they are summoned in this fashion?
.


No but that's funny to think about.

Do you miss buying actual CD's because of all the album art? (remember tapes from the eighties --- the lyrics might be printed on that long sheet of album coverthat folded out and there would be some glossy photo of the band or weird, random pictures of odd things here and there...)

[kiz_paws]

Yes, I actually DO miss it, funny you'd mention this, Shalot! You reminded me of a real gem I have in my home, but how useless it is, really, lol. It is a red vinyl pressed LP (record, like the old 33 rpm type thingies) of AC DC's Powerage album. I bought it cuz it seemed to be a neat collector's item, ha-ha. Cool album, must say.

Do you have any 'useless' things in your home that you obtained because you just HAD to have it/them?

[Bakiryu]

About 15 of Stephen Kings books :blush: I can't stop myself. And my parents just got me another one! Why do I even have them?

[Shurtugal]

asuming that the last part of baki's post was the question i'm going to answere it. because at the moment you can't help it.

why is oranges called ornges and not carrots?

[Bakiryu]

because oranges were discovered first!

If oranges were blue, would they still be called oranges?

[Shurtugal]

no they'd be called blues!

why are blue berries called blue berries when they are more purple? so shouldn't blue berries be called purple berries?

[Haven]

Must be colour blind. Purple berries; like. I would eat more of them if the purple berries tasted better than those flabby blue berries.
[Shurtugal: liked the oranges and carrots argument. Bakikyu's answer, no idea if correct but brilliant if real or imagined.]



and so...



If you lost your ability to see, what would be your next most important sense?And if you choose to answer, why?

[Bakiryu]

Hearing. That way I could become A BLIND SWORDSMASTER.

no but seriously, hearing. I would need to know what letter's I'm typing and buy soundbooks (or force people to read to me)

same Q?

[papayahed]

Hearing. After sight that the most important in terms of communication.


If you could only pick one TV station to watch for 3 years which would it be?

[symphony]

my voice. i would die if i cant sing!

same q (since i cant think of anything else)

[Bakiryu]

Um, apart from hearing, I would say my voice as well. Even though my singing sounds like a moose's mating call :)

If you could bring to life a writer who would it be?

[Shurtugal]

UM... tuff question... J.m. barrie.

why are girls more atracted to boys with blond hair and blue eyes then to boys with black hair and brown eyes?

[Pensive]

Ummm I don't know. I am personally not attracted to people on such basis. Perhaps I am weird or something like that but I ain't attracted to people because of the colour of their eyes and hair.

Do you think it's wrong to name boys (their last names) after mothers considering that girls have their last names after their fathers also?

[papayahed]

No, parent should be able to name their children whatever they want.

If you could only pick one TV station to watch for 3 years which would it be?

[dramasnot6]

Do you think it's wrong to name boys (their last names) after mothers considering that girls have their last names after their fathers also?

You raise a good point.

[motherhubbard]

Half-the-time, I wish the bloody thing had never been invented! I watch Court TV a lot. Hey, I write mysteries...

Could you go without TV for a year?

[motherhubbard]

yes, happily! I could get the news from NPR and be fine

Same Q

[applepie]

Sure, all the shows I like best have the episodes posted for online viewing after they've aired.

Now, you might be able to go without television, but could you go a day without your computer?

[dramasnot6]

what atracks you to a person? (for me it's the hands and eyes... i know that sounds weird but i always find myself looking at that.)

[applepie]

For me it is hair and eyes. I don't normally give men a second glance if their hair isn't long (preferably really long), so don't feel too weird about hands and eyes.

Same question

[SnowQueen189]

they've got to have a great smile...and nice eyes!

now for the question: everyone has at one point or another googled themself. How many hits did you get?

[Bakiryu]

I never have :blush:

same q?

[Shurtugal]

they've got to have a great smile...and nice eyes!

i totally forgot about the smile! that's something i do to!:lol: :lol:

but concernig snows question... i've never done that.

why isn't black called white and white called black? and on that what makes the color black?

[Bakiryu]

Black is the absence of all colour, white is all the colors mixed together. Black is made when there's no color the eye can see because the object reflects all colours. Black and white have different names in different languages. Maybe the names mean something in the original Latin in which most names are based.

Why are web-comics so fun to read?

[motherhubbard]

Because it pulls you in

If the literary police grant you only ONE book to keep, the rest must be forfeited, which ONE would you insist on keeping?

[dramasnot6]

Oh what a tragic thought,but it would have to be The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.

Same Q(always a good one)
