Game: Ask the Person Below You

[Stargazer86]

One of the guys at my work recently showed me a video from his phone of a "UFO" he'd recorded while heading home.

I don't think I've seen one myself though.

Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

[amarna]

At least in bacteria and microbes, but I'm not sure about multicellular organisms.

Do you believe in UFOs?

[Scheherazade]

Yes but I hear they don't believe me!

Today was good because...

[kingoflombards]

...I joined an awesome youth group.



Do you like roller coasters?

[Mathor]

Yes, I love em.

What do you have planned for tomorrow?

[kingoflombards]

House work :(


And you?

[a_little_wisp]

Wake up early (completed) and go for a swim (not yet) come home, eat breakfast, tidy things up, head to work at 2:00, pick best friend up at 10:00, likely fall asleep on her at 12:00.


Ever fallen out of bed in your sleep before?

[The Comedian]

Yeah -- out of the top bunk once when I as a kid. I dreamed that I was falling. . . .such truths our dreams reveal. :lol:

Should I "to to heaven or a'fishing" (to quote Thoreau)

[PoeticPassions]

why not both?

Is love eternal?

[Nikhar]

If you get it, yeah.:D


You'd continue to love someone if you found out nthat he/she loves someone else.

[The Comedian]

Of course, but I would be beset with a host of new emotions: jealousy, self-doubt, anger. . . .

Have you gone swimming lately?

[PoeticPassions]

at a pool, yes. Perhaps in the last week or two...

Have you been on a boat lately?

[Scheherazade]

It has been about 12 years since I was on a boat (unless you count couple of ferry rides).

Is it OK to have a BBQ on a rainy day?

[papayahed]

Yes!


Have you ever worn steel toe shoes?

[TurquoiseSunset]

Nope, not my style at all, so I'd look really silly :D

Do you own any music with lyrics in a foreign language? What?

[papayahed]

Yes. I downloaded ABBA in spanish hoping it would help me to learn.


Have you ever eaten too much of something and it made you sick?

[TurquoiseSunset]

Ugh, yes, I ate a gigantic bowl of mushroom soup once, but I was too polite to stop when I was full. So I ended up running to the bathroom the whole night. Some of the soup went through my nose and for the next two days everything smelt like mushroom soup...not something you want to smell when it's made you sick...:sick::sick::sick:

Same?

[mono]

Yes, but not for many years, before my vegetarian days, with seafood.

Do you donate regularly to any charities? If not, what do you think you would ever consider donating to, such as Green Peace, OSPIRG, Children International, etc.?

[The Walker]

No I havent. But i think I will when I have my own money. I would donate to some foundation for children in the world.

Same?

[kiz_paws]

Well, I donate to Childfind Canada, to the local Humane Society, to a no-kill animal shelter, as well as to two separate soup kitchens that we have here. I also donate time to playing piano at a nursing home.

Good question, I'll pass it on to you, next poster.

[mono]

I donate to various environmental organizations, both local and international, and have a sponsored child in India. Additionally, I might as well call myself a regular, but unofficial, donater to homeless organizations in the Portland metropolitan area, at least on a person-by-person basis. :D

Do you think you could survive at least somewhat comfortably on minimum wage?

[papayahed]

I don't think I could, but if it was necessary I could probably do it for a bit.

If you know you are going to have bad day do you do anything different to prepare for it?

[SilentRain]

No, I just try to get through the day as fast as possible


Do you ever wonder what your next meal is?

[PoeticPassions]

Yeah. My life revolves around food. Well, not really, actually... but I really enjoy food/eating.

Do you get grumpy when you're hungry?

[The Comedian]

Yeah, sometimes.

What time of day is your mind most alert and creative?

[PoeticPassions]

I would say in the morning. About an hour or two after waking.

Yours?

[The Comedian]

The same, actually. . .with late night being my worst time for alertness and creativity.

Do you enjoy looking at maps?

[PoeticPassions]

Yes, I love it. Sometimes I just do that for fun... Atlases are wonderful.

If you could go to any other country right now for a visit, where would you go?

[The Comedian]

Wow, tough question. I just finished a book that discussed, partly, hiking the Alps in Bavaria, so right now, I'd go there to hike and walk the countryside (I generally avoid cities, when I travel. . . with some exceptions, of course).

When traveling, do you prefer cities or countrysides/rural places?

[farnoosh]

i would love to go to paris ,but at this moment i would want to go to L.A and see the hero of my dreams( Michael Jackson)

did you like michael jackson?

[amarna]

Not very much.

Did you ever spend a couple of days in the wilderness without seeing other people? If not, would you like to?

[mono]

I never have, in total seclusion, anyway, but I suppose it would seem worth the experience to go Salinger-style, if I had the time, yet only temporarily.

Same question.

[The Walker]

I havent but I would like to do so very much..but for only two days :D

what were the last words you said aloud?

[Scheherazade]

"Like that?"

[Beautifull]

do you like to play an instrument or listen to an instrument being played?

[dodong]

both...but i really love to learn playing the piano..

are a musician or just a music lover?

[Beautifull]

ummm...if i had to pick, it'd be music lover, because i can listen to all kinds of things while being a musician, you're limited to what you can play, and you don't even have to like music to be a musician.

would you give up a hundred dollars to start a band?
(though it might cost more)

[mono]

I have certainly given up more, monetary and non-monetary-wise, in the past - not worth it, and now I have originally written songs that I can hardly claim, due to copyrighting by another member of the former band. Creativity wasted. :(

If you could start a musical group, what genre of music would you fit into, and what instrument(s) would you play?

[The Walker]

it would be indie or alternative...and i would like to play the bass or the guitar but i never liked how women look playing the guitar so..i rather sing hehe

what do you prefer to procratinate or avoid?

[Mathor]

Procrastinate.

Same question.

[Beautifull]

better to procrastinate....avoiding just leads to destruction...even unacademically!

are you a writer?

[Mathor]

Yes. I try.

Are you a musician?

[PoeticPassions]

Ah, no. I wish. I, unfortunately do not have talent for such things... but I still really want to learn to play the piano.

Do you sing well?

[mono]

Yes, about as well as a peripubescent teen with laryngitis.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like any specific celebrity? If so, which one?

[Joreads]

No and what a shame

What celebrity do you think you look like?

[PoeticPassions]

Um, I am not sure. I have been told I look like all kinds of different celebrities... from Demi Moore to Catherine Zeta Jones to Jennifer Aniston (go figure!) I don't think I look like any of them... though that celebritiy look alike site where you upload your photos seems to always come up with Claire Forlani.

Who do you think is the most beautiful celebrity? (male or female)

[Nikhar]

Mother Teresa. Don't you think so, that she has got one of the most beautiful hearts. :)

If your mind told u sth and by your intuition you felt sth else, what would u beleive?

Both logic and intuition have their suitable times, and both means can reach different ends under similar circumstances by similar individuals.

Have you ever testified in court?

[NikolaiI]

Yes, unfortunately.

Have you ever served on a jury?

[mono]

Nope. The court requested me to serve as a jury member once a few years ago, for some sort of case, but I just happened to move out of that county a mere few days previous, and had not changed my address yet; no longer a citizen of that county (Washington), but another one (Multnomah), I could not serve - I did not really look forward to it anyway.

How would you describe your childhood home?

[islandclimber]

Rustic, epic, beautiful... but it had to be kept way too clean for the whims of a child haha..

If you were a guest musician on Scooby Doo (if you remember all the guest musicians), which one would you be? hahahahahhahhaha

[*Classic*Charm*]

Scooby Doo has musicians?

Same question!

[Mathor]

The Monkees. There were at least 3 or 4 episodes where the monkees (cartoon versions of them and their voices) guest-starred on Scooby, and they would follow the gang around solving mysteries while their music would play in the backround.

Tell me a story about a scar that you are particularly proud of, please?

[BienvenuJDC]

I don't know if I am proud (or ashamed) of any of them...but my biggest is from my gall bladder surgery.

Have you ever assembled a puzzle of more than 1000 pieces?

[JuniperWoolf]

No, because I don't feel like boring myself to death.

Do you like puzzles?

[Mathor]

Seeing as the only time I've actually completed puzzles have been while on vacation at the beach and there is a horrible storm and the cable is out, I'd say not so much. But that one time I did it was kinda fun!

Same question.

[Mathor]

if i have nothing to do that day, i'll be on for like 12 hours :blush::blush:(while doing other things like reading/surfing the web/listening to music/etc. )

If I have a lot to do that day, more like 30 min to an hour.

[mono]

I lack time to come here while working; I work 12-hour night shifts, anywhere from 3-6 nights in a row, so 0 during those days. Otherwise, I think it safe to say, I spend anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours a day here.

What do you usually find yourself doing during long plane rides?

[papayahed]

Listening to my MP3, and either reading, doing word puzzles, or sleeping.

[Scheherazade]

Green plums.

I have to ____________ tomorrow.

[Mathor]

Umm...Curry. But chances are i won't get it. So I'll settle for the normal crap I eat for dinner.

same question?


EDIT: too slow. and is that really a question or a statement?

[*Classic*Charm*]

I would want artisan cheese to go with my french bread haha

I have to go to work tomorrow.

It's a statement really.

If you could bring one person back from the dead who would it be?

[The Comedian]

Nice question: Well, I think the author Edward Abby would make for an interesting zombie. I'll go with him.

Can you tie a bowline?

No.

Can you tie a haynet?

[Joreads]

Seeing I have no idea what that is I am going to say know.

Do you know what Charm means?

[Nikhar]

"Wingardium Leviosa"
Wasn't that the charm you were talking about?
Oh and ya...there's another charm which is appealing.....


Do you know what 'Wingardium Leviosa' is?

[*Classic*Charm*]

A levitating charm.

Where did your screen name come from?

[BienvenuJDC]

Les Miserables (the bishop of Digne, M. Myriel, was referred to as Bienvenu...meaning 'Welcome'...I was so touched by his selfless attitude that I will recognize him) and my initials...

Which Screen name do you like the best on Lit Net...(not necessarily that person though)?

[PoeticPassions]

Silas Thorne, Dark Muse, Scher, Chava, Prince Myshkin....ahh and many more... can't really pick one top one. or think of all of my favorites right now

(ahh, and I missed the forum, and you, Bien! ;))

Whose profile description (or "about me" section) on litnet do you like best?

[Scoggy]

Hmm... I'm new here, so I really don't know many. I haven't a favorite.

Do you think that it is degrading that it is expected for a woman to take the name of her husband in marriage?

[*Classic*Charm*]

No.

Would you ever ask a man to take his wife's last name in marriage?

[AdoreroDio]

Never. Unless his last name was something he would want to change. I mean if your name was Poophole or Wourthles or something people make fun of then sure, why not. But I think the woman in most cases should take on her husbands name as a sign of respect. I'll take my husband's, but that is also because my name is impossible to spell as a child in school and I plan on having many children. It would be cruel to give them my last name. :]


What is the worst given name (by that I mean a name someone was given by their parent's at birth or that they legally changed to have themselves) you have ever heard of someone having?

[JuniperWoolf]

Apple.

Do you draw? If so, describe your style.

[papayahed]

No drawing here.

What would you do if someone in a manager position (at job) was breaking a rule that he was suppossed to enforce?

[Scheherazade]

Probably yes.

What is your favorite restaurant?

[JuniperWoolf]

Dadeos.
http://www.dadeo.ca/dadeo-location.html
Sweet little cajun place. GREAT blackened shrimp and scallops.

Have you ever broken the law of your country, and how so? (If more than one law was broken, describe how you broke the most strictly-enforced)

[The Comedian]

I once shop-lifted a baseball card from a local vendor. . . .

Does visiting your parents count as a "vacation"?

[JuniperWoolf]

Not for me, because I live in the same town as my parents. For people who don't... no, I think its more of a "homecoming" than a "vacation." (And as for the baseball card thing, tell me it wasn't like a Babe Ruth from 1927 kind of deal)

Under what conditions would you yell at a stranger?

[mono]

I cannot recall the last time I yelled out of anger, let alone at a stranger, but I will volunteer to admit myself as impatient and occasionally blunt, which seems easier to express to strangers than people one knows, at least for me.

What is the longest you have gone without sleeping?

[JuniperWoolf]

Two nights.

Have you ever been attacked by a parrot? (because I just was :()

[MSDGreen]

No, not yet.
You must have been in the parrot's territory.

Have you ever killed anything because you could?

[papayahed]

don't think so.

What toppings do you like on pizza?

[Haunted]

cheese...tons of cheese. I like it when it's ozzing with oil!

[papayahed]

no. I'm watching The Daily Show.


Do you dye your hair?

[Haunted]

yes :p

Do you like going to the movies or do you wait for the DVD and watch at home?

[Nightshade]

I like going to the movies but its cheaper to wait for the DVD, plus I am not good at sitting still for the really long films.

What is your favourite sandwhich?

[PoeticPassions]

hm, chicken, chicken... mmmmm

or PB and jelley or honey... :)

What is your favorite snack?

[mono]

I try to eat healthy, and snack healthy, too, but have a weakness, a big one, for Häagen-Dazs ice cream. :D

Do you have a journal/diary? If so, how often to you write in it? For how long have you written in it?

I do. I've had them off and on for as long as I can remember and can only keep one if I don't go back and look at previous entries. I write sporadically.

If you've read The Grapes of Wrath, do you like or dislike the way that he interchanges the chapters between the Joad story and descriptions of America in general? (If you havn't read it, do you think that you will?)

[Mathor]

Being a fan of Steinbeck, I have since changed my stance on such an issue. However, when I procrastinated doing my summer reading back in 9th grade til the weekend before school started (the first time I read it), not so much.

Same question.

I haven't read The Grapes of Wrath.

[mono]

It changes all of the time, but Marcel Duchamp seems a relatively constant-one-of-my-favorites. I have his Nude Descending the Staircase (http://www.sju.edu/~lhayes/images/Duchamp_Nude.jpg) hanging in my bedroom, among others.

Have you ever encountered a natural disaster of some type (hurricane, tornado, earthquake, blizzard, etc.)?

[Nightshade]

Loads of earthquakes but they were more in the way of annoyances than disasters.

Have you ever been on a plane that had to do an emergancy landing?

[Scheherazade]

Nope.

Which natural disaster are you afraid of most?

[mono]

Definitely tidal waves or flash floods. I have encountered one flash flood years ago, during my first and only trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, and found it quite unsettling; allegedly a few people did not survive, and several got injured - nothing really makes me want to visit Sin City again, and that freak storm topped it off. :p
Then again, living immediately within the Ring of Fire, around a few active volcanoes, kind of disturbs me, too. For one, I can see Mt. St. Helens from my apartment building, peakless from its very dramatic 1980 eruption - a bit of a scary reminder.

Same question - good one!

[Niamh]

Living where i live, we dont get many natural desasters... I've experienced a very small tremor before in Grand Caneria, but i think i'd be terrified of being somewhere there was a volcanic erruption.

Neither a fan of icecream nor of beer, so no.

Would you ever consider committing suicide?

[papayahed]

No. Well maybe if I had a terminal illness.

Would you worry about someone that asked a question like that?

[Scheherazade]

No, would tend to think they were just being gross.

Would you consider asking a question like that in "bad taste"?
