Game: Ask the Person Below You

[Koa]

Yes because I'd die to learn that language...

Do you like to get up early or sleep all morning if you can choose?

[nome1486]

I like to get up early, as long as I can get enough sleep...don't like to waste daylight!

What is the weather like where you are?

[verybaddmom]

hot hot hot and more hot. it's a heat wave *she sings*

what is your favorite board game?

[Isagel]

I used to like Kalaha, but my little brother always beat me - and I´m a bad looser. I get all grumpy.

Are you a bad looser?

[Kiwi Shelf]

More than likely

Do you believe in love at first sight?

[atiguhya padma]

Certainly not. A most preposterous concept.

Should you give money to charities that promote a religious view that you don’t agree with?

[Isagel]

I do not know if I want to say that you should not do it. I probably would not, though. I think it is important to know what the money is used for, and that it´s my responsibility to try and find out what I´m supporting. There are alot of nonreligious charities.

What do you think of Yoko Onos artwork?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Ummm.... I have to see it before commenting...

So, same question to the next person

[emily655321]

No, I don't like abstract art.

What will the next trend in art be? (more realistic/more abstract? portraits/still life? ... )

[Kiwi Shelf]

I think it should be the art that is up to interrpretion, everyone sees something different. (not really into art, so I am not making a lot of sense)

But, to give more credit, same question next person

[Pickles]

I see a return to cave painting.


And for the next person,
What are tonight's winning lotto numbers?

[papayahed]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

or any combionation thereof...

Have you been watching the Olympics?

[Pickles]

Not a bit of it, well a little of the womens volley ball on the spanish channel.

But only because the spanish channel isn't afraid to show the women from behind :brow:



Should I run for Governor? :idea:

[subterranean]

with that brain of yours....?!
well go for it kid...


how to save money?

[Pickles]

Tuna and Top Raman.


Break up with the GF or shooting rampage?
( I'm kidding of course.)

[subterranean]

oh i dont know...i never have any gf before...

long hair or short hair?

[Pickles]

Prefer long, but you can't really go wrong with short.
( it always grows back you see.)


Coffee or Tea?

[subterranean]

tea of course...jasmine tea particularly...

who's the worst singer ever?

[Pickles]

Well If I don't count then I'd have to go with Rosanne Barr.

She's even worse than William Hong.



Carrot Cake or Biscuits?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Biscuits, I hate carrot cake

Chocolate or Vanilla?

[atiguhya padma]

Vanilla

Olympics: real boring or great viewing?

[Koa]

Chocolate but...guys, this thread it he questions one, nor the 'this or that'...

But since I can't come out with anything more clever (Im so bad at questions :( But i like to answer :))...

April or November? :D

[Pickles]

November, love that cold November rain.



Do movies need better writers these days?

[nome1486]

No, just better marketing (for the good ones)

Does extraterrestrial life exist?

[poehee99]

when you refer to extraterrestrial life as amoebes and stuff like that yes, when you're talking about marsians, well I have some major doubts.

one year war and afterwards peace forever or no war and going on like this?
this question is meant as an open question not referring to america and/or iraq

[papayahed]

Sheesh, I guess it depends on the scope of the year of war. Are all the people wiped out and is that why there's peace? Ahhh, i'll go with the year of war then peace.


Do you have seasons where you live? and if so your favorite?

[poehee99]

spring! for sure. the end of winter, the sun comes out and flowers and things start to grow. and the beach is super in springtime. I live near the beach and in the summer it's much too crowded, but on a good day in spring it's perfect to be living here.
and now for my question: if you had to choose: Stanley Kubrick or Oliver Stone

[Isagel]

Stanley Kubrick. Stone is one of the great ones, but Kubrick was groundbreaking.

Do you think proper use of interpunction is important?

[Monica]

interpunction is very important. it allows the writer to express his/her emotions, thoughts etc. if used improperly it can be misleading. we had this example on our english classes:
"Panda - eats, shoots and leaves." :)

what is your favourite name? does a name influence our character?

[poehee99]

depends on what name you have, really. That's probably a strange answer but what I mean is that people who have christian names usually get a name which has a meaning. In that way there are names that are favourite over others but that's just because of the meaning of the name. I don't think a name can influence our character, because I believe a character is built in the flow of life (?) sorry i only have the dutch quotation here and I can't find the original one. it's a quote by Goethe.
What i mean is that you become someone in life. in my oppinion you are not born with a "completed" character.

[poehee99]

sorry, forgot my question.

King arther or Robin Hood? characters, not films

[verybaddmom]

definitely Arthur, although i couldnt tell you why.

what is your favorite sit-com?

[Nemerov]

Blackadder

Chinese food?

[Koa]

At the moment I'm still under the influence of the addiction I got in Enngland for a local sit-com called 'Men Behaving Badly', which sadly has never been shown in Italy and never will be... I can't think of any others at the moment though of course I got addicted to many of them in some periods :D

What's the last thing you saw on tv?

[Nemerov]

An american getting his head chopped off. I love Men Behaving Badly!

Hotels?

[verybaddmom]

chinese food is yummy....specially the curried singapore rice noodles.
and the last thing i saw on tv was ....um....a terrible movie called "the hand that rocks the cradle"

what should you be doing right now??

[verybaddmom]

awww darn..you both are quicker than me...
what about hotels? do i like them? are there any favorites?? vague question there friend.

i only like hotels when i am there because i want to be, if that makes sense. my bf and i took the honeymoon suite at a hotel where i worked and that was awesome. but when i moved to the city and had to stay in a hotel while i found an apartment, not so much....

[poehee99]

[QUOTE=Koa]At the moment I'm still under the influence of the addiction I got in England for a local sit-com called 'Men Behaving Badly', which sadly has never been shown in Italy and never will be...

Men behaving badly is out on dvd now, and you can order it at your bol.com.
you've got a bol.com in italy right?

[subterranean]

i dont live in italy

where do u live?

Cheers

[amuse]

pennsylvania, and temple just made it official that after 10 years here, i really am an in-state resident. thank goodness.

do you like where you live? if yes, no, maybe so, why?

[subterranean]

sometimes i like it aometimes i don't,. esp when it comes to facilities, access to good books/records, the way people live...but i like it for its all year sunshine, great landscapes...

what's the greatest human invention ever?

[atiguhya padma]

God? The steam engine? the wheel? personal identity? who knows??

Mountains, forests, beaches or lakes?

[Nemerov]

Mountains!

What would you do if you won the lottery?

[atiguhya padma]

Stop working

What book most depressed you?

[poehee99]

well I am a fan of books of conspiracy theories so those sometimes depress me when I think that some could actually be true. but a book I just read depressed me most. It's called The Bible code by Michael Drosnin. The book claims that all events in the past, present and future can be read in the original(?) text of the bible. There is a special computer program that searches for certain combinations in the text. I must say that i don't believe in destiny as such that you don't have any influence over your future and that everything you do has been set up. But the thing is: the computerprogram has filtered events as the murder of jfk, the rise of hitler, the murder of rabin, earthquake's and other stuff with the right names of the murderers or the right dates, so that's scarry and then when I read that the biblecode expects a nuclear war in 2006 it depressed me, for what if it's right?

[poehee99]

FYI: Michael Drosnin is, or has been, a journalist for Washington post and Wall street journal. His book is a research into the phenomenon of the code, not a religious text trying to glorify or justify the bible.

What's your favourite place/country for a holiday?

[atiguhya padma]

Regarding the codes, see http://www.math.caltech.edu/code/petition.html


Europe, especially SW England, Scotland, Greece, Italy and France... oh and Germany too. Haven't been to many Scandinavian countries but would love to visit Iceland, Norway, Sweden or Finland.

Who has done most to alleviate world suffering?

[Nemerov]

Ronald McDonald

What fictional character do you hate the most?

[Isagel]

That would probably be Mr Ronald McDonald.
Those paintings in Mc Donalds scares me evry time.
I think he might be a relative to Big brother. He is evrywhere. His golden arcs see You.

If you had to live in a fictional story - what story would you choose?

[atiguhya padma]

The Golden A ss by Lucius Apuleius

What film would you like to live in

[papayahed]

good question...The first thing that came to mind was an Abbott and Costello movie but I can't say why. After thinking about it probably a Star Trek movie (Next Generation of course)

Same Question just because it's so good.

[poehee99]

well it's hard to choose from Gladiator, Troy, Arthur or the god father. they all have their charmes.

If you could have a five minute interview with one person, living or dead, who would you choose and what would you ask?

[verybaddmom]

oscar wilde...and i wouldnt ask him a thing, but just let him talk

if you were on death row, what would you request on your last night?

[Pickles]

Angelina Jolie, but they wouldn't give her to me.
I'd ask anyway, what the heck?


Who would you want your 'last' to be?

[verybaddmom]

definitely my boyfriend. no question.

(oh and i totally agree about angelina jolie. man, she is gorgeous!!)

do you have any houseplants?

[Pickles]

Does bathroom fungus count? No, no plants the cats
kill them quick and proper, even cactus.

So you like Angelina ? You and my GF may have a lot in common.


If you were laid up in bed for a week, what 5 movies would you have someone
rent for you?

[verybaddmom]

hmm.....good question
"Go"
"the Ref"
"Baraka"
"thorn birds"
"shrek"

what was your longest intimate relationship?

[Pickles]

Ouch!
More than a year , less than a lifetime, does that satisfy?


Harley Davidson or SUV?

[verybaddmom]

ummmm....neither as i dont drive. but if i had to choose it would be a jeep cherokee which would classify as an suv i guess

walk or drive?

[Pickles]

Drive mostly, walk when I can. I live in a nice picturesque old town.

(est. 1680 or something like that.)



Is candy truly dandy or is liqueur quicker? :brow:

[verybaddmom]

i vote for neither. im not much of a drinker, nor do i eat a lot of candy
perhaps liqueur that tastes like candy??

have you ever painted your house?

[Nemerov]

Well, I painted one room this weekend. Good enough?

Can you do a handstand?

[verybaddmom]

i cannot, but i can do a headstand up against the wall. good enough? lol

have you ever made a craft for a gift instead of buying one?

[Pickles]

Never!

What sucks the most on TV these days?

[Taliesin]

Soap operas - especially those from Venezuela.

Do you watch the Olympic games and if you do, what sports do you watch?

[Nemerov]

I do, as much as possible.

Do you sing in the shower?

[verybaddmom]

um..well i would have to say the reality shows (although i rarely watch them)

actually we have one small tv in our house, and its in my bedroom attached to the vcr. i dont let my boy watch tv anymore, as he cannot regulate himself and gets into a frightening coma-like state. in fact the only reason we have cable tv at all is because it was free with the cable internet when i moved. when that runs out.....buh bye cable tv!
i actually wrote a bunch of letters to FOX tv when they aired that show "the swan". i thought it was literally the WORST concept for a show i had ever seen.

do you have a program that you watch so seriously and religiously that you get grumpy when you miss it?

[Pickles]

Women's volleyball of course.
Best thing ever!



Should bald people shave what's left of their hair off?

[verybaddmom]

holy apparently i am slow on the rant today...
i convinced my boyfriend to shave his head a few months ago, because he was losing it anyway. i like it much much better. takes years off his appearance.

do you think old ladies should have short hair?

[Pickles]

The right lady, sure.
Short hair on any women can look great.



Should a guy color his hair?

[verybaddmom]

i suppose if he wants to, although glamour would say its a DONT
personally i am of the opinion that whatever a person wants to do to make themselves feel better is up to them. i am all about personal choice.

have you ever had a perm? or colored your hair?

[Taliesin]

No! Natural is best. But maybe I am just the wrong sex to be asked that kind of question.


Now, if you could time-travel to a alternative universe (nothing changes back home because of what you do there) about to the year 1985 and could take six things with you, what would these be? Let it be so that you have got a place to live and an income.
What do you think would yield most money to you? (if you didn't have any morals)

[nome1486]

You mean like in Back to the Future II, when he takes back the sports results for the next sixty years? Well, I'll start with that (for the next 19 years, that is). And how about stock quotes too, while I'm at it (I know these aren't physical, but information pays the most). Then the next few major advancements in computer technology after 1985...I'm running out of ideas here, I'm not that creative. A cell phone, just so they can skip the whole boxy-looking phase and go straight to small and sleek. I'm trying to get off the technology track and think of maybe a pop culture item that would fetch a good price in 1985, but I wasn't actually alive then. Somebody else help with the last two?

But I do want to ask a question: I am very curious to know, are you ticklish?

[verybaddmom]

how about star wars figurines still in the box? or a barbie?
and yes i am...painfully

you?

[Taliesin]

Yes, I am terribly afraid of it.

But I know at least five of what I would take - Harry Potter books;) All that money.

[Shea]

Hey, what about a question?

I'm extremely ticklish too, which kind of bothered me, because I always thought that my husband wasn't so I had to resort to pinching to defend myself. It took a year and a half, but I figured it out, so I can save him from getting bruises all over his arms :lol:

Do you torture yourself by taking on too much work?

[Isagel]

Oh, yes.
I´m working on not doing that. But it´s really hard!

Do you exercise - and how?

[Shea]

Hmm, that's a point of controversy in my house. My husband used to do triatholons and always says how much we need to go running together. But everytime we do, he goes too fast and I get frustrated and don't want to go again. But I find if I go by myself at my own pace, I'm okay. So, I guess, when I have the time, I run. (He hasn't done a race in a long time anyway, so he can't really talk!)

Ever feel like your responses are unnecessarily too long?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Yes, I have this annoying tendancy to ramble...

Have you ever had cinnamin (sp?) and sugar on toast with butter?

[Isagel]

No - but I think I will try it now.

Ever had toast with honey?

[verybaddmom]

yes but i prefer it with peanut butter and honey...
(and the cinnamon sugar is wonderful!)

what is your favorite ice cream topping?

[nome1486]

I love all the aforementioned toasts...and I prefer ice cream plain, just with a variety of flavors, but I guess chocolate chips count as toppings. So, chocolate chips. And I'm extremely ticklish. And I like your 1985 ideas. :)

are you dying with excitement until the next Harry Potter book comes out?

[Koa]

Not at all...never given a damn about it and I had no clue there was another one planned...

do you ever wear purple?

[papayahed]

I can't think of anything purple that I own so I guess no I don't wear purple.

Do you think men should start wearing hats again? Not baseball caps, but real hats like fedoras.

[Monica]

not really. men don't look nice in hats and besides you would have to wear suit to suit :) it

why do we wash bannanas before eating if we wash only the skin which we then throw away?

[amuse]

we wash bananas??
i must be lazy.

do you peel grapes? if not for yourself, your honey?

[papayahed]

I peeled them once to see if I could.

Do you believe in ghosts or spirits?

[atiguhya padma]

No

Is there any reason why I should?

[papayahed]

Nope.

Who wrote the book of love?

[atiguhya padma]

Ovid.

Why does Charlie Brown sigh?

[verybaddmom]

because he doesnt know how else to cope with life....

how is it we have so few coping skills in western civ?

[atiguhya padma]

In Western European countries like Spain and Italy, there is still a very strong family setup, so that in times of crisis, the family all pull together and help out. In the UK, this was really eroded away when the populace began to migrate from rural to urban areas, during the Ind. Rev. In the US, a mobile workforce, long work hours, wage inequality, and other economic factors tend to mean that family cohesion is difficult, and as a result there is far more marriage breakdown, child abuse and street crime than might be expected in other Western areas. So my answer to your question is: it is not really like that all over Western civilization, and where it is, the best that can be done is to change those factors that dissolve the family setup (political rhetoric and tough crime legislation is not the answer IMO)

Can literature really change anything in the world?

[papayahed]

Not directly.

Has any piece of literature changed your opinions/views?

[Sancho]

Of Course. (and for what it’s worth, I think that literature has changed, and continues to change, the world. I’m thinking of anything from the The Bhagavad Gita to The Federalist Papers)

What has had more influence on western thought/culture (that may be two questions): the Homeric Epics or the Bible?

[imthefoolonthehill]

easy... the Bible... its sold more copies and has a much greater readership... and people study the Bible their whole lives... not too many people study the homeric epics their entire life.

If you had a confederate flag, would it be worth the risk to lower it when neo-nazis like richard butler die? (just for a gag)... or would you rather not stake your reputation on this joke?

[papayahed]

I wouldn't do it, who are you playing the joke on? It doesn't seem like a good joke.

What's the best practical joke you've ever played on somebody?

[imthefoolonthehill]

whoopy-cushion on the organist in an uptight small town Baptist church

which practical joke has backfired the worst for you?

[papayahed]

This guy, we'll call him "Jeff" at work complained that he thought his cubicle was getting smaller (which it wasn't). So we decided to make it smaller, every couple of days we would inch the cubicle walls closer together, we made up a calender and sold days for a dollar and whichever day Jeff noticed - that person would win the money. Jeff is notorious for being oblivious to his surroundings at one point he leaned back in his chair and hit his head on the file cabinet half the people in the room had to leave as not to laugh in his face. Anyways we had to give the guy the money because he made though the whole calender without noticing. The last day he was on the phone and a couple people got on either side of his file cabinets and pushed them so the file cabinets blocked him in his cube then we gave him the money and told him the whole story.

Is it true that humans are the only mammals that drink milk after infancy?

[ajoe]

Yea, I just read somewhere we are not meant to drink milk as an adult. But I can't live without milk. Even as a child I consumed too much milk and ended up a giant in my classes.

What are the skills you have that absolutely no one else has?

[imthefoolonthehill]

I can kill a conversation with swift ease... but only if i'm not trying...
Its not exclusive to me... but its rare.
I used to play first person shooter video games using only the keyboard... and be extremely good... I played Rogue Spear with two fingers on page up and page down and two on the arrow keys.... and the other hand on left hand shift, ctrl, alt and space...

I just found it easier...

what completely useless skills do you have that nearly no one else has?

[nome1486]

I don't know if it can be considered a skill, but I can bend both my index fingers and one of my middle fingers back in an arch to touch the back of my hand...it's fun watching people's faces as this creeps them out.

Same question to next person

[Isagel]

That is creepy! I have a very flexible jaw, so I can put my front teeth over my upperlip, just under the nose, and kind of fold the tip of the nose under the lip. It´s kind of disgusting and I can scare small children that way. And make unwanted strangers in bars leave me alone.

Do you have any habits that other people find strange? I eat dinner with my cousin evry monday , while we are watching the TV series CSI. We call it "dinner with corpses". My boyfriend thinks we are weird.

[imthefoolonthehill]

there is a stretch of road that I refuse to drive on the correct side of.... if there is other traffic, i just go really slow with my hazard lights on...

can anyone top that?

[Taliesin]

No, my mayor wierdness is barely that that I greet "Good morning" almost all the time (even when it is, like 23. 30) My excuse is : "Well, there is bound to be morning somewhere, like in USA or Japan or somewhere ;)"

Why are some mobile phone ringtones called "polyphonic" ringtones, when they are obviously not?

[Miss Darcy]

But they are, they "consist of more than one line of sound", which is the (musical) meaning of polyphony. Or

"Music with two or more independent melodic parts sounded together."

Well that would be stretching it a little but the "more than one line", which is written in my musical reference book (not sure which one but one of them)...

So they're polyphonic as opposed to monophonic, which is (dull, dreary, monotonous) with only ONE line of sound.

Have you seen Shrek 2?
(Pretty...strange...question, considering your avatar! :D )

[Miss Darcy]

Sorry, I can't seem to edit....
I meant,

Have you seen Shrek 2.

To the person below me who is yet undecided.

[Jay]

Yep, I have

Will you vote for Orlando in the book club forum? :D:D:D
(wasn't meant seriously, let a gal have her fun :goof:)

[Scheherazade]

No, I haven't ;)

Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear? or Où sont les Neigedens d'antan? as some might say...

[Chava]

Have no clue whatsoever.

Where is your Shangri La?

[Koa]

Near my Pugsjinks Fsramb :D

Wicho colour are your shoes at the moment?
(duh stupid, but my brother's suggestions sucked :D)

[mono]

I wear no shoes at the moment, but the shoes I just doffed minutes ago look shiny from such a dark black, and with thin black laces.

To the person below me: what book are you presently reading? If none, what book did you last read?

[Bongitybongbong]

The last book I read was The Merchant of Death in the series Pendragon.

person below: What are you majoring if you are that far (if finished what did you major in)?

[mono]

I presently major in nursing (applied science) and minor/double-major in literature.

To the person below me: on average, how many hours of sleep do you manage?

[Miss Darcy]

Oh, about nine during working days, and more on the weekend/holidays? (Or maybe less, it would take some thinking about, as though I tend to go to bed later during the hols/weekend I also tend to get up later!)

What's your favourite type of music? (e.g. classical, pop, rock...?)

[Isagel]

Jazz and rock.

Subt does not think my new avatar fits me. What do you think?

[subterranean]

LOL...I'm just telling the truth ;).

What's the meaning of that avy?

[Miss Darcy]

Looks a bit like Hamlet holding his skull...well that's what it reminds me of, anyway, it's thought-provoking, and that's good. :)

The meaning of that avatar is...I dunno, oops I actually shouldn't be replying to this, but who cares! -- Perhaps the skeleton is seeing how much time remains until his loved one joins him in death? Just a random interpretation...could mean many things...

Do you believe in God?

[Adelheid]

Yes, I do. :D

What do you think of the book Revelation in the Bible, with the judgments and prophecies that are to b fulfilled???

[Miss Darcy]

I think I haven't read it.....:D

Is the world round? (Just random...this is the kind of question I ask my Magic 8 Ball.... :D )

[Scheherazade]

So they say.

How many toes do the Simpsons have?

[mono]

Hmmm, tough question, but I will say . . . four . . or three, thinking of the animation.

To the person below me: how does the weather seem there right now?
(sunny here, for once!)

[Miss Darcy]

The weather: rather cloudy, and that's white, misty, cloudy, not grey, melancholy cloudy, with patches of blue sky here and there.

To the person below me: Do you have siblings?

[mono]

Yes, I have two brothers - one older, one younger.

To the person below me: what is your first memory?

[imthefoolonthehill]

it was of replying to the random thought thread.

when did you stop beating your wife?

[papayahed]

When I took off my wife-beater T-Shirt.

Have you ever noticed that if you say the word "shoe" enough times it doesn't sound like a word anymore?

[mono]

No, but it can turn into an exclamation: "Shoo!"

To the person below me: what is your middle name?

[Miss Darcy]

Eva. (You could pretty easily break into my Hotmail account now... :D)

What is your first name?

[subterranean]

A name started with the word B

what's your dad's occupation? er....what kind of Q is this

[Miss Darcy]

Publisher.

(I don't think I can guess your name, BTW. :D JK!)

What kind of question...ask me. Well it's not rhetorical, at any rate.

Do you usually forward those silly/funny internet forwards/lists when they are sent to you?

[Scheherazade]

Nope.

Do you ever wonder who puts those plastic bits which keep the threads together at the end of your shoelaces? (OK, there is a good chance that it might be only me :rolleyes: )

[subterranean]

my self...?!

do you believe in magic?

[papayahed]

in a young girls eyes? hehe*snort* hehe

Yep, I've seen magic tricks.

What color socks, if any are you wearing right now?

[Scheherazade]

No socks here. A firm believer in 'free your toes' campaign! *wiggles her toes*

If olive oil is made of oils, what is baby oil made of?

[Taliesin]

Hmm, probably of all sorts of chemical substances and plants and suchlike. Why are you asking?

Or is this a question of the category like: If zoophiles khmkhm with animals, then what do bibliophiles do with books?

Q: Has anyone here seen "Proof (http://www.pulitzer.org/year/2001/drama/works/)" by David Auburn? (We did, yesterday. We are amazed. It was fantastic. Brilliant. Undescribable. And so on.)

[mono]

I have never read Proof, but followed the link you posted, Taliesin, and may read it another time (thanks).

To the person below me: what is your favorite article of clothing?

[Chava]

Fortunately, whatever is closest on the floor when i wake in the mornings... slack jeans, comfortable shirts... (and my very snug hamp sweater.)

To those beneath, does the world apear differently to different people?

[mono]

Yes, most definitely. A plethora of philosophies that an average person theorizes, in my opinion, suggests ideas of multiple means to one end, differences in morals/ethics, and even in Berkelian, Cartesian, Kantian, and Locke-based existential meditations: "the perception of reality is subjective."
Or, if you only ask of "seeing" the world differently, yes, especially, as some people require vision aides (i.e. glasses, contact lenses) to perceive equally what another sees. ;)

Whew!

To the person below me: what lies outside the window nearest to you now?

[Scheherazade]

Grass.

How long has your hair been at its longest?

[mono]

Yikes, well, in my more rebellious highschool days, I grew my hair to near my shoulders, but had it always pulled back out of my face. Now, I live the lighter life with hair cut to a very short length, but often wear a beanie-cap anyway.

To the person below me: what is your first memory (a repeated question)?

[Scheherazade]

Being stung by a bee.

Ketchup or BBQ sauce?

[papayahed]

BBQ sauce.

If you could be really good at any sport which would it be?

[Jay]

darn, too late :D
horse riding

vanilla or choc? (ice cream of course ;))

[subterranean]

strawberyy


strawberry or choco?

[Bongitybongbong]

strawberry

Pirates or ninjas?

Yes I apperciate chivalous males.

What is your favorite feature of the opposite sex, keeping it clean of course? I like men with broad shoulders.

[mono]

When reminiscing of when I met forum member, Psyche, I never noticed how much I love noticing beautiful eyes and a smile, but I also love long hair, and I have a strange likeness towards a female with nice hands - in an odd way, I think it reflects with anyone how they care for themselves.

Top up the antifreeze and iron some clothes! (now you know why I spend so much time on the net;my life is so exciting! :rolleyes:)

To finish my maths report, to sleep, to read my chemistry, to have a nap, to look at the snow whirling outside my window, to have dinner, to start reading that danish book, to consider casually massacrating my little brother in a snowball fight, (and if so to pull myself together and go through with it), and finally, to look at the pictures from the CISV weekend, (if i have time).... Oh, and then sleep some more... :)
