What was your worst physical injury and how did it happen?

[Silas Thorne]

I broke my arm twice.
The first time was when I was young and I had rollerskates. My brother and I set up a ramp with bricks and a flat wooden board. My brother pushed me off, and I had originally planned to jump, but bailed at the last minute, stumbled and then part of my arm hit a brick, the other part hit the concrete.
The second was when I was in a wrestling class against someone much bigger and heavier than I was. I put my arm out to stop my fall and it locked straight, I heard a pop. I stopped instantly and lay on the floor, and then drove home, but it was quite hard to change gears. I didn't actually realise it was broken until the next day.

who has been most influential to you in your life?

[Chava]

My mom, without any competition

What would a trees voice sound like, if you couldn't describe it with wooden adjectives?

[a_little_wisp]

Well, for one, they would take a very long time deciding what it is they were going to say. After their deep, deep pondering they would then speak, low and rich, and their voices - depending on the age and type of the tree - would likely be creaky, deep and full of a wisdom we as humans will never be able to grasp, because trees are listening creatures. It would be loud, of course, and likely shake us to the center of our beings. The smaller, more youthful trees would speak in whisper-like tones, but their words would be interrupted by breezy little giggles and sighs. It would take any tree a good long while to finish a whole sentence.

What's your favorite activity to do with your best friend?

[Chava]

My favourite time is actually as we catch up after a long or short day, sitting on the train, or when we have to take the nightbus home after a night on the town. And both of us are to exhausted to talk, but fall asleep resting on each other's shoulders. :)

Is it okay to be selfish occasioally?

[Madhuri]

Yes :)

Are you in a good mood today?

[The Good Doctor]

it depends what you're being selfish about. generally you should share material things with those who ask, because you can always get more. but maybe time, and love and other esoteric things it's ok to be a bit selfish about.

What is your favorite thing to do on a Sunday

[mono]

I have a very irregular schedule with my work, so, if you mean the theoretical Sunday, before having to return to work, then I love to sleep, relax, read a good book, catch up with family or friends, and just plainly take things easy.

Favorite day of the week, and why?

[Silas Thorne]

Wednesday, because there are poetry open mic nights in the evening (and I can stay to listen and join in, drink a glass of wine), I don't have to get up early, and I don't have to cook.

I usually get out of bed just after 9 AM, I hit the sack around 1.30 AM.
