What's your guilty little literary sin? (I like to read superhero comics, for example).

You guys are going to murder me for this, but sometimes I skip scene discription in a book. Not always; you know the type that take a whole chapter to discribe one room.

What is your favourite book and why?

[The Comedian]

Walden -- because it is filled with page-after-page descriptions of the tinniest details: 40 pages to describe a house, 5 pages to describe ants, etc. . . . Honestly, I much prefer description to dialogue, heck even to plot most of the time.

Could you share a favorite quotation from the book that you are currently reading?

[Maryd.]

The book is 'A Thousand Splendid Suns.' by Khaled Hosseini. The quote is (well it's not a quote as such, but more of a statement) 'She quickly shook her head in what she recognized as her first lie in their marriage.'

Have you ever eaten beans out of the can with a spoon?

[The Comedian]

Yes.

What culinary smell is your favorite?

[papayahed]

either pineapple or beef fajitas.


Do you believe in ghosts?

[balehead]

Kinda ... I think that there can be things or circumstances which bring up recurrent images of the dead; but that's more somethign for psychalogicists (help me - what was I trying to say?) To work out..

Same?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope.

Are you superstitious?

[mono]

I feel skeptic on many subjects such as these, the paranormal, and such, and I try not to let the common Hollywood-ization of ghosts affect my opinion, as well as it seeming a sensitive subject for some individuals, but I would feel confident in giving a negative response, instead of an assent. I cannot feel 100% sure, as I have had some odd experiences in the past, one in specific, years ago, and I will at least humanely admit that human perception extends only so far to perceive and comprehend much (I believe outerspace exists, for example, and all its theories, though I have not seen it myself), but of ghosts, spirits, souls - meh, a whole lot of hokie, new-age nonsense driven by faith, fear, hallucinations, and self-fulfilling prophecies.

Oops, too late - in response to C.C.'s question, no, not in the least superstitious. Along the same lines of faith driving men and women to silly things, deluding one's self into believing that such unrelated acts as even half of those superstitions and midwive's tales seems about as absurd as believing that a man can walk on water . . . oh, wait . . . :eek:

Along the same lines, do you believe in aliens, U.F.O.'s, extraterrestrials, and the like?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope. Haha. Simple as that ;)

Do you believe in pre-destination?

[mono]

Wow, this one really asks a lot more than I can explain (both out of ability of typing, and out of human cognition, perception, and imagination). Honestly, I have no idea, but, similar to asking the previous question (of ghosts, spirits, and co.), from my stance, I do not faithfully believe in it, yet admit that I quite literally cannot know for sure. Ah, the life of an irreligious skeptic! :rolleyes:

Do you believe in the existence of Bigfoot, Loch ness, and other such creatures?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope. Mono, your answers are more thorough than mine. I think I feel as you say: I do not believe in them, though I have no proof one way or the other of their existence. Well, maybe that applies to the previous questions more than this one. I'm pretty confident Nessie isn't hiding down there!

Do you think Dr. Frankenstein's monster is possible?

[mono]

As crazy as it sounds, yes, and for that I have seen and heard of proof - the artificial heart, the amazing abilities of hemo-/peritoneal-/micro-dialysis, and the hauntingly amazing capabilities of artificial intelligence. As to whether such seems attainable in our lifetime, likely not.

Same question. ;)

[*Classic*Charm*]

Agreed. We'll get there someday, biologically. Whether or not that functional body will have that "it" that I believe people have, that "mind" and not just "brain", I don't know if I believe that's possible. Body- yes, brain- yes, indescribable human quality- on the fence.

If you made the monster (^), would you let it guilt trip you into making it a mate?

[Maryd.]

Yes, I would feel sorry for him.

If you were a cave, which part of the world would you be situated?

[mono]

In a copy of Plato's The Republic.

Who would you write a biography about, if you could?

[Maryd.]

Eugene O'Neil (Play write) or Henry Lawson (Australian poet and writer)

Same question?

[Nyu001]

Probably of someone I know in detail.

If you had to live alone for the rest of your life, do you think you would handle it?

[Snowqueen]

No absolutely not. I cannot live without my family and friends.

Same question ?

[Maryd.]

Well, I love having my family and friends around me, but could live alone, so yes.

If you knew a friend with a terminal illness, how often would you visit them?

[rimbaud]

as much as I would if he had no illness at all, or if I knew nothing about it

if you had a gun pointed at you and you are asked what did you wanted to do with your life? what would your answer be?

[Maryd.]

Well, dear. I am a little strange. I know it wouldn't be a laughing matter, but with the past that I have had I would probably laugh.

Same question... I like this one?

[rimbaud]

the guy has a gun pointed in my face, he is rude, he does not deserve an answer :)
but for you :D there are a lot of things I want to do, and I'm on my way to do them, everything I could do so far, I have done it, and everything I could be doing now, I'm doing it :)

so next question

is there another creature that you admire for its abilities, and if yes which? :)

[kingoflombards]

I admire octopuses (octopii?) because of their intellect, ability to squeeze through small objects, and most importantly, the ability to be tasty:D.

[Maryd.]

Would you fast for your faith?

[Maryd.]

In the short term, yes. In the long term, no.

[Maryd.]

Visit a friend who is very distant right now and find out why this particular friend is feeling this way.

If you could swim a long distance, where would you sim to?

If you were at a work/school function that included a lunch that you knew you wouldn't like would suck it up and take what was served and eat around the stuff you didn't like or make a small scene and bring your own lunch?

[The Comedian]

I'd eat every last morsel of that lunch; then, to myself, I'd mock those who ate around what they didn't like as food "wimps". :)

What's the worst job you've ever had?

[mono]

My first job, as a teenager - a dietary aide in the kitchen of a long-term care facility. It does not sound too bad, but I recall many depressing and gross memories worth sparing.

Same question.

[papayahed]

Convienience store cashier - those damn kids trying to buy alcohol and the adults who need to feel important by treating me like crap.

Same question.

[Maryd.]

Managed a Fruit and vegie deparment of a large store, accidentally for 6 weeks after the manager stormed out of the shop in a fit of rage. I had no idea what I was doing. But had no complaints... Was only 17 and it was my fist job. Was hard work, in and out of fridges and carrying heavy sacks of potatoes and large boxes.

Have you ever done anything embarrassing on a date?

Jamaica Inn, what a wonderful tale. I bought my copy in Jamaica Inn itself on edge Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. There is a brass palque on the floor in Jamaica Inn that reads: “On this spot Joss Merlin was murdered.”

I was really in to Daphne Du Maurier at the time and can remember trying to find the inspiration for Manderley in Rebecca. A house called Menabilly near Fowey [Pronounce FOY as in Boy] “Last Night I Dreamt of Manderley Again.”

[The Comedian]

Sounds like a good story.
