yes.
recent favorite song?
Anselmus
03-17-2005, 04:43 AM
Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen ;)
Morning or night?
Scheherazade
03-17-2005, 08:38 AM
night
trainers or boots?
kilted exile
03-17-2005, 12:35 PM
Boots, until the snow goes away.
Own vehicle or Public transport?
papayahed
03-17-2005, 02:49 PM
Own Vehicle
How long does it take you to get to work or school?
amuse
03-17-2005, 02:57 PM
between 25 to 40 minutes. depends how fast i walk, if the subway just left...
do you concentrate as fully on your job/studies at the end of your day as you do in the middle?
That question depends on what I study. If I find the subject boring I often feel unmotivated and unwilling to work as hard; but if the subject seems fascinating, I can sustain any diligence throughout the whole day.
To the person below me: do you have spring break? If so, do you have many fun plans?
Definitely: I'm going for a week back to Hungary! It turned out that I'll miss a little exam that I'll have to do in June then (and if I dont pass it in June it will ruin my plans a bit) and that I ciuld have started working next week but in both cases I was told at the last moment so I had planned already...
Question - (it might have been asked already, it doesnt sound so original): if you could time-travel, where, or rather WHEN would you go?
I would go to the mid-to-late 1800s and live to the early 1900s, travelling around England, conversing with the great authors of the time, and wander to Eastern America, conversing with the trascendentalists, and experience the travel west, pre-Industrial revolution.
To the person below me: Koa asked a good question, so I will repeat it. ;)
I could only use the time machine once? Hmmm... some time to the future to get a time machine that works more than once and then travel the earth from dinosaurs to present day. I'm not too picky ;). But I think I'd spend a lot of time in America on a ranch with a lot of horses... or gothic Europe (England probably... maybe France, they have gorgeous horses)... with lots of horses... did I mention I liked horses?
What planet/star/black hole/pulsar/blahblah... would you like to visit if you could?
Taliesin
03-18-2005, 02:21 AM
Earth.
Haven't seen it as much as we would like.
The same question since we lack imagination at the moment
Scheherazade
03-18-2005, 03:12 AM
The same answer since I suffer from the same predicament as above people.
Which avatar of Taliesin do you like better? The new one or the old Puss in Boots one?
I like the present one more, reminding me of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. I had not seen Shrek 2 until recently, so I had no idea what the Puss 'n Boots picture came from, but loved it also.
To the person below me: I like Jay's question:
What planet/star/black hole/pulsar/blahblah... would you like to visit if you could?
Molko
03-18-2005, 06:52 AM
i would love to visit jupiter! I'd be too scared to visit a black hole...I'd never come out! lol
What's one thing you would absolutely love to do? (e.g. get a tatoo, travel the world, etc)
Psyche
03-18-2005, 07:22 AM
i would love to visit jupiter! I'd be too scared to visit a black hole...I'd never come out! lol
What's one thing you would absolutely love to do? (e.g. get a tatoo, travel the world, etc)
Mono.
...Changed the 'what' into a 'who' sorry bout that. :D
If you had money to spare, and had to pick a charity to donate all of it to, which one would you pick and why?
Molko
03-18-2005, 09:28 AM
I'm not sure what charity this goes under, but if I had money to spare I would like to donate my money into research for a cure for AIDS...
Who is the most influential person in your life and why?
Mono.
...Changed the 'what' into a 'who' sorry bout that. :D
Oh my :blush: *laughs and blushes. I shall return . . .
. . . back . . .
Particularly family and friends, those especially close to me. Forum member, Psyche, has defined herself as an artistic muse for some time, my older brother has had a great amount of inspiration on me in terms of maintaining optimism, and my parents - my father, a very humble, gentle man, and my mother, an always-involved-in-something, making progress person.
To the person below me: speaking of which, I liked Psyche's question.
If you had money to spare, and had to pick a charity to donate all of it to, which one would you pick and why?
Scheherazade
03-18-2005, 01:30 PM
I think all the causes related to children worthwhile so I am sponsoring a child in a less developed country at the moment.
In which musical would you like to star?
If opera counts, either Wagner's Tannhauser or Strauss' Die Fledermaus.
If not, then, quite honestly, probably The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but not as Frank N. Furter.
To the person below me: what is your favorite word?
Taliesin
03-18-2005, 02:53 PM
At the moment it is "Luigeluulinn" which means Swanbonecity when translating directly, but in estonian, there is the lovely assonance with all those l-s. A poetry book by Kristiina Ehin bears that name, and it's a good poetry book
What do you like more: endrhyme(do not know the correct terms by that We mean like :like-mike) or assonance?
Psyche
03-18-2005, 02:54 PM
I have no favorite word, though i am fond of "Azure".
Under me:
You? Ruling a country? What's the first change you would make?
frozenlight
03-18-2005, 03:20 PM
i'd change the voting sistem... i mean, if they chose me as their leader, something must be wrong!
how can you turn yourself inside out?
Microwave oven ;)
What's your fave name? (both male and female)
I have a few favorite names -
Female: Phoebe, Elizabeth, Lily;
Male: Ethan, Devon (ironically), Mason.
To the person below me: what is your most common exclamation you say when angry or surprised?
angry: grrrr :p
surprised: ... wow? good kinda surprised? geez maybe, bad kinda surprised? oh cr** :lol:
What part of a day you like most and why? (week days as well as weekend, doesn't matter)
I like weekend mornings. Something about watching the day break before a day which I have little to do makes me feel serene.
To the person below me: same question.
Nights, definitely. It's dark and quiet and peaceful and just nice.
If you were told you could chose to be someone else, anyone you'd like (gender doesn't matter), who would it be?
Taliesin
03-18-2005, 04:25 PM
Can we be ourselves?
We repeat out question which was sadly interrupted for We and Psyche answered the same question.
What do you like more: endrhyme(do not know the correct terms by that We mean like :like-mike) or assonance?
I sometimes have difficulty comprehending assonance unless read aloud; with those two choices, I often prefer, but only with the right poets, who use the technique well, end-line rhyme. I also love many other poeticisms, while attempting being as eclectic as possible, such as alliteration, onomanopoeia, and use of both concrete and abstract nouns.
To the person below me: red or white wine (or none)?
frozenlight
03-19-2005, 05:14 AM
red. pinot noir, to be more exact. not more than one glass at a time though ;)
cinema or theatre?
I love both; movies, plays, opera, and musicals - I enjoy all equally.
To the person below me: what book have many people raved about, but with which you found yourself disappointed?
Psyche
03-19-2005, 07:21 PM
"OMG!!! The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is SO Much better than the movie(s)!!!!"
Um, no, they both suck...
What is your favorite indulgence?
*try reading Beowulf or Gawain and the Green Knight then compare, I found the books to be quite brilliant*
It's a toss up between playing harp or cross-stitching. I guess anything to keep my fingers busy when I'm not reading.
What was you worst instructor like?
"OMG!!! The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is SO Much better than the movie(s)!!!!"
:lol:
My worst instructor I had recently, within the year. A strict nursing professor, I had her for my clinicals (where students see patients in a health-care setting for tasks we have studied). A number of students had trouble with her, and, I remember, on the first day she accused me of making a medication overdose on a client who showed no symptoms; well, the certain medication being oral, I noticed the pharmacy date, and counted the number of pills that should have remained.
I was correct, had not "overdosed" my patient, and professionally pointed out her error and misinterpretation. Well, she took it very personally, and threatened kicking me out of my nursing program.
To the person below me: same question (good one, Shea).
Anselmus
03-21-2005, 12:29 PM
I find it difficult to enjoy learning anything taught by an instructor that does not have passion for what they teach. Vague I know, but that's the best I can offer.
Do you keep a journal, and if so do you use it regularly or sporadically?
yes, several, never manage to write more than a few pages (both paper kinda and digital)
fave band + song?
Yikes, tough one! I cannot possibly narrow down my favorite band, being a fan of multiple genres, let alone a favorite song, but a few favorites (non-classical): Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, REM, Travis, Coldplay, Björk, Fiona Apple, Mono (ironic, eh?), and, for very special reasons, the whole album of Hold On Love by Azure Ray.;)
To the person below me: hypothetically, of course, if you chose to become any other plant or animal, what would you choose, and why?
lhaeber
03-21-2005, 04:10 PM
Female grizzly bear, then I would be forced by the norms of my species to gain an insane amount of weight, be expected to kill to protect my young, scare the bejeebies out of anyone who came near me, and running with fat rippling around my body would be beautiful.
Which mythological god/goddess would you, could you, be, if you could?
Though I know I this response requires becoming another gender, I would choose Pallas Athena (Roman: Minerva), the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and "useful" arts, owning the city of Athens, Greece, having the equal wisdom, if not more, of Zeus, residing on Mount Olympus, and being admired by nearly all.
Good question, lhaeber; I love Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology!
To the person below me: same question.
Psyche
03-22-2005, 01:15 AM
I would most definately be Freya.
Freya
In Norse mythology, Freya is a goddess of love and fertility, and the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses. She is the patron goddess of crops and birth, the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in matters of love. She loves music, spring and flowers, and is particularly fond of the elves (fairies). Freya is one of the foremost goddesses of the Vanir.
She is the daughter of the god Njord, and the sister of Freyr. Later she married the mysterious god Od (probably another form of Odin), who disappeared. When she mourned for her lost husband, her tears changed into gold.
To the one under me; what is the first thing that you wouldn't tell someone about yourself when first meeting them, and why?
Good question. I know immediately and exactly what I would not say, it having to do something with two opposite polar bears.
To the person below me: if you immediately knew of a person's weaknesses and private issues, of whom you just met, would you feel priveleged or offended?
Psyche
03-22-2005, 01:35 AM
I would feel emotionally closer to them. Not offended at all.
So you subscribe to any religion?
Not any one specifically. I enjoy the thought that every religion contains a component of truth, and that truth, itself, stretches beyond human understanding, beliefs, intuitions, and reason. If I claimed a religion: perhaps universal skepticism.
To the person below me: same question.
I'm a christian. There's no denominational name for the congregation that I attend. You could say that our motto is "we speak where the Bible speaks, and we're silent where the Bible is silent".
A variation: Who was your best instructor?
*By the way mono, I can sympathize. I went through a terrible nursing program.*
lhaeber
03-22-2005, 04:50 PM
It was a toss up between Mr. Rogers and Mr. Dressup...
To the person below me,
you believe in reincarnation, so you'll come back as what?
Helga
03-22-2005, 05:15 PM
I believe in reincarnation and I think I will always be human, I think I'll be a girl again, but who knows?
same question
Hmm, being a slight skeptic regarding just about everything, I do believe in a form of reincarnation, something resembling the Pythagorean idea of the transmigration of souls, though I also *question* the Buddhist belief that, once a being reaches enlightment, s/he becomes devoid of reincarnation.
Firstly, I do believe in the mind-body dichotomy, and figure that they persist as nearly opposites, one being material, the other immaterial, and one being finite, the other . . . hmm . . . possibly infinite, which further directs me toward William James' theory of the connection of souls. I would like to think that all souls connect themselves with each other, and contribute to a unity of life, cycling in a life-death refrain, and do not necessarily need proof; but I suppose some things require more faith and intuition than logic and reasoning.
Whew! Please, pardon my preaching. :angel:
To the person below me: do you believe in a Heaven and Hell?
lhaeber
03-22-2005, 05:58 PM
No. Because;"every religion promises certain benefits to its adherents, and those benefits require by way of contrast some costs incurred by those who do not receive those benefits".
Mashed or baked potatoe?
Psyche
03-23-2005, 05:29 AM
Mashed, with garlic and butter. (Probably too much salt too)
What does your right hand smell like?
My right hand smells faintly of Lush brand organic soap, and sweetly of the scent of an orchid owned by Psyche. ;)
To the person below me: what was the most interesting thing you learned recently?
Scheherazade
03-23-2005, 05:33 AM
Abigail was actually 11 and John 60.
Do you like sleeping in the dark or with a light on?
As dark and as quiet as possible.
To the person below me: repeated, what was the most interesting thing you learned recently?
Psyche
03-23-2005, 05:43 AM
They are trying even harder to catch Nessie. (I actually learned about sonar more though)http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lochness/
What type of learner are you?
I once tested as an auditory learner.
To the person below me: do you consider yourself generally extroverted or introverted?
Psyche
03-23-2005, 05:46 AM
I consider myself introverted, though often lacking in tact.
What year would you rather it be, given you had the choice?
Monica
03-23-2005, 08:41 AM
I'd like it to be the year 2000, October
If you could be somebody else for some time (or for ever) who would you like to be? (it doesn't matter from which period or epoch)
lhaeber
03-23-2005, 01:22 PM
Rosa Parks...
let me at 'em, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
if you were on death row, last day, last meal, what would you eat?
Helga
03-23-2005, 02:14 PM
deep fried camembert and white wine
if you were on death row how would you want to be 'killed'?
lhaeber
03-23-2005, 02:37 PM
by eating too much deep fried camembert and drinking too much white wine
which pop culture icon drives you nuts?
papayahed
03-23-2005, 04:53 PM
Mariah Carey
What Pop Icon do you secretly like?
lhaeber
03-23-2005, 06:25 PM
Spongebob squarepants...ohhhhh, to be so free...
Which animal do you think will be extinct by the year 2010 and why?
Molko
03-24-2005, 01:12 AM
I reckon the panda, because there's not so many left to breed with each other
Do you believe the world will come to an end, and if so, how?
Taliesin
03-24-2005, 07:56 AM
Yes.
We are not very sure how it is called, but We believe that the term "warmthe death" might be understandable.
It is the point of when all the matter has spreaded homogenously over the universe. Entropy triumphs.
We do not remember how much time it takes, but it was something like 10 on verymanyth grade years.
When you were condemned to prison and could have only one drink or food that you could eat for say a year, what would that be? You could pick only one drink/food.
It's a sort of a trick question for one would probably die into thirst when one'd take a food or into malnutrition is one'd take a drink.
But there are some ways out.
Find them.
Molko
03-24-2005, 08:25 AM
A protein, nutrition-filled milkshake :) hehehe
What's the scariest movie you have ever seen?
When I was a kid I thought that Ghostbusters was really scary. My mom had to convince my little sister and I that Ghostbusters 2 was more funny than scary. Now I crack up!
What's the worst thing you've ever eaten?
Scheherazade
03-24-2005, 11:36 AM
leeks
what's the best thing you have eaten?
Maggie Moo's Banana ice cream with marshmallows mixed in! *I get to go off my diet this weekend!* (maybe that why I keep posting in exclamation points lately)
What's the longest amount of time you ever slept without waking at all?
kilted exile
03-24-2005, 01:44 PM
Don't know if it particularly counts as sleeping however after my 22nd birthday I did not wake up for about 16hrs.
What is the first thing you see when you wake up?
Taliesin
03-24-2005, 01:50 PM
Our eyelids or the remains of our dreams.
Same question as we lack imagination
papayahed
03-24-2005, 02:26 PM
my pillow
What time does your alarm go off in the morning?
Émilie
03-24-2005, 04:24 PM
6:07 ... yeah, I know weird
same question
Molko
03-24-2005, 09:14 PM
5:30
What's your favourite t.v. show?
lhaeber
03-24-2005, 10:56 PM
Currently, Lost.
What superhuman powers would you like to have?
Anselmus
03-25-2005, 12:30 AM
Rapid Regeneration
same question again :)
shortysweetp
03-25-2005, 01:50 AM
hmm thats a good question.
do i have to chose just one?
A typical response: to fly.
To the person below me: I asked this before, and liked the question, what is the most interesting thing you have learned recently?
Basil
03-25-2005, 03:06 AM
The other day I learned about the zeugma.
If you could live in any country other than the one in which you currently reside, which country would you choose?
Psyche
03-25-2005, 03:07 AM
Greece.
Are you an intorvert or extrovert?
Basil
03-25-2005, 03:14 AM
I'm neither intro nor extro. I'm just a vert.
Do you have a favorite photographer? Who?
Hmm, tough one, probably either Wynn Bullock or Elliott Erwitt, though they have relatively disparate styles.
To the person below me: same question.
Basil
03-25-2005, 03:57 AM
http://www.peterfetterman.com/images/artists/favorites/puppet.jpg
Good ol' Eisenstaedt!
(I like Robert Capa, too)
Which of these children's responses do you like the best? (This photo is called "Children at a Puppet Theatre" by the way)
Scheherazade
03-25-2005, 04:08 AM
second one on the right (front row)
How long does it take you to fall asleep once you are in bed?
Usually anywhere from 20 minutes to hours. :rolleyes:
To the person below me: since we had a question about favorite photographers, do you have a favorite painter, and if so, who?
shortysweetp
03-25-2005, 12:21 PM
Vincent Van Gogh
http://www.fantasyarts.net/Van_Gogh/Van_gogh_irises.jpg
Monica
03-25-2005, 02:38 PM
and the question? :D
shortysweetp
03-25-2005, 03:36 PM
favorite actress or actor? sorry forgot
lhaeber
03-25-2005, 03:48 PM
Gene Hackman...don't know why though.
Basil, I want to see the puppet show those kids are watching. What diverse reactions! :brow: :lol: :p :goof:
If life would let you attempt to do something that you knew you would not fail at, what would it be?
Molko
03-25-2005, 08:51 PM
Set up a medical clinic in a 3rd world country, where people could go, free of charge
If you could co-star with any celebrity, who would it be?
lhaeber
03-25-2005, 11:32 PM
Co-star in life/play/sitcom?
In life, definitely Vigo Morgenson (sp?)
In play, John Lithgow
In sitcom, Robin Williams.
What is the most eyecatching bookcover you've ever seen?
Molko
03-25-2005, 11:35 PM
The Vampire Armand, by Anne Rice. I think its because I cannot figure out whether the person on the cover is a man or a woman
River Phoenix or Johnny Depp?
Well, in terms of attraction, I prefer the opposite gender, but in terms of acting, I find them both very talented, and have difficulty judging which seems better. Having a greater affinity for his movies, however, I would have to choose Johnny Depp.
To the person below me: what is your favorite quotation, and why?
lhaeber
03-26-2005, 01:13 AM
The wise man knows it's all just a game.
I don't know who said it, it just relaxes me, I don't take things so very seriously anymore and I can breathe.
To the person below me:
What is your favorite exercise?
baddad
03-26-2005, 02:03 AM
An intellectual one.
Using the 'great circle' formula, how many air mile points would you accumulate flying from Vancouver, Canada, to Frankfurt, Germany?
Jack_Aubrey
03-26-2005, 03:52 PM
Shutup.
What is your favorite song?
lhaeber
03-26-2005, 03:55 PM
Thank the aliens someone found an answer for baddad's question. I'm not an airmiles person, the only great circle formula I knew of had to apply to playing spin the bottle and that was many years ago.
Favorite song: Whiskey in a jar, Metallica
why, because it's originally a song by Roger Whittaker and that's funny
Does the rain make you sad?
Rarely. I usually love hearing the sound of the rain, and enjoy walking through it, unless if it has wind mixed; sideways rain = me :(
To the person below me: have you ever experienced any extreme weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.)?
Helga
03-26-2005, 07:29 PM
nope,here on the island of ice and snow we have storms sometimes but nothing bad. well rooftops sometimes blow off the houses and cars fly through the air but rarely any lifes lost. we have volcanos and whole towns have been buried under snow.
person below....do you enjoy the snow?
lhaeber
03-26-2005, 08:12 PM
Love love love snow! But we only get it a few times a year here and it's usually heavy and wet and fleeting. Watching snow fall, the whole world becomes quiet, very inspiring to stare and do nothing.
To the person below me, for one month, would you rather live in a mud hut or an igloo?
Probably a mud hut, only because I can tolerate extreme cold for only so long, less than a month, and in a mud hut, if indeed I felt cold, I could start a small, localized fire.
To the person below me: I asked this question before, but since we have luckily gained a few more members, what made you discover this site?
Psyche
03-27-2005, 04:06 AM
A very sweet and extremely cute and cuddly man showed me this site one day, I was in awe at his post count, but doubt I'll ever get there. ;)
You down there, If you were allowed one private concert by your favorite band/singer/musician of all time, (dead or alive) who would it be, where would it be held and what would be the opening song?
Tough question!
Well, I cannot claim them as my favorite band of all time (I cannot even determine that myself), but I would probably want to see a band who will never exist again with all of the original members. With that in mind, I would see Led Zeppelin one of my favorite venues in my city (Portland, Oregon) - either the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall or the Crystal Ballroom. As for a first song, if I chose something soft: "Ten Years Gone;" for something harder: "Rock 'n Roll" or "Kashmir."
To the person below me: same question. :)
lhaeber
03-27-2005, 04:20 AM
There are too many to choose from, given that I am old enough to pick from thirty years of groups, etc. different ones for different stages of my life, I'd need at least ten choices. Maybe, if they were twenty years younger, the Rolling Stones, in my backyard, The Girl With Far Away Eyes.
If you could be a groupie for a band (and still keep your dignity) which would it be?
Psyche
03-27-2005, 04:31 AM
I would be riding the 'Hell Bus' with Wesley Willis and The Fiasco. Never get tired of hearing him.
Where were you when you had your best/most intense orgasm?
I would be riding the 'Hell Bus' with Wesley Willis and The Fiasco. Never get tired of hearing him.
"Rock over London. Rock on Chicago. Wheaties - Breakfast of Champions." :D
Whew! Quite a question.
Well, if I now typed in the "Person above me" thread, I could elucidate my response. I rested in her bed, anyway, a dimly lit bedroom, while many of my senses went faint, while others went saturated. ;)
To the person below me: what book did you wish you wrote?
lhaeber
03-27-2005, 04:48 AM
The DaVinci Code...Dan Brown...then I'd have lots and lots of money and I would have to hide in the mountains or on a remote island away from all the angry people (I choose not to identify religion here) where I could count all my lots and lots and lots of money.
To the person below me, what would you name your book if you write an autobiography?
Don't Read This :lol:
Same question
Helga
03-27-2005, 02:53 PM
What do you want from me?
same question...
Psyche
03-27-2005, 09:17 PM
"Blood Countess, All I Wished I Was and Where it Has Ended So Far, To Be Continued."
Imagine that everyting around you was swathed in opaque gauze, wrapped up like beautiful mummified artifacts. You don't know what any of it is, and there are both living things and inanimate objects. What do you unwrap first and what do you find?
I would open the smallest wrapped package I could find.
After unravelling it, I find an old, nostalgic key, colored with the rust of nickel and iron, looking like an ancient skeleton key with two inserts for the fingers on its holding end. Where the key goes, I have no idea, but hopefully somewhere pleasant.
To the person below me: same question.
Taliesin
03-28-2005, 12:45 AM
We would open a package and find another package but it would bebigger than the package outside. Then We would open that package, to find a bigger package inside. et cetera et cetera.
Then We would sell all that wrapping paper.
Same question as We couldn't sleep tonight and lack imagination.
And it's a good question too.
Scheherazade
03-28-2005, 04:13 PM
Hope it would be the TV remote
Favorite children's song?
lhaeber
03-28-2005, 07:20 PM
Baby Beluga.
If you could erase one horrible news event (from the last month) from ever having occurred, which one would it be?
The violent school shooting in Minnesota comes to my mind first, not involving politics, anyway.
To the person below me: what book/story did you most enjoy as a child?
Anselmus
03-28-2005, 11:50 PM
The Ghost Upstairs (?) I think...
Favorite Philosopher (if any)?
Yikes! I could never pick only one, but some favorites that come to my mind: Immanuel Kant, Buddha, George Berkeley, Ralph Waldo Emerson, David Hume, Jean-Paul Sartre, Plato, Aristotle, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
To the person below me: same question.
Scheherazade

Fame can certainly prove as something to fear, I think. I would enjoy it for a few days, maybe weeks, then toss the fame in another's lap, while brushing the crumbs of glamour off my lap.

to the person below me, what's worse, lying, cheating or stealing?

Why is the world full of so many shallow people? In your opinion!
as our world gets smaller through technology, society as told so many people what to do because there's so many more opinions being thrown out there. It's so much easier to have someone else make decisions for you. I do my best not to listen to it so hard.

I speak much French, not considering myself fluent, but cannot call it my favorite sounding language. For that title, I may have to choose either Italian or Russian - both very exotic accents, in my opinion; though, Norwegian sounds beautiful, too.

I don't see anything wrong with an atheist saying "God" as an exclamation or emphasiser once in a while. I do so myself, sometimes. But on the internet I usually twist it: "Thank Dog for that!" ;)
The nicest thing? That's hard...very hard. Lots of people have done very nice things for me and if I had the chance I'd thank them all for it. But right now I'm thinking about my violin teacher...he burned me a copy of a Ginette Neveu CD that's very hard to find...he's so nice.

Erm...I cannot really say that I admire any political or national leader. I hardly follow politics, finding the topic very volatile.
Under me: what did you last dream about? (seemingly fragmented nonsense is perfectly fine)
I had a relatively long dream last night. At night I wandered into someone's home - someone I knew I knew, but do not know in actual life. The house had no light, entirely dark, except one room I entered, which seemed cluttered with a wooden workbench with tools, a locked door leading elsewhere, a clean, small, and very round bathtub containing no water, and a dim light.
After that, I left the room, into what seemed a living room; a middle-aged woman of African descent slept peacefully on a couch, and I proceeded down hard, wooden stairs to a very dark hallway with multiple doors leading into other rooms. I heard yelling in one of the rooms, but I did not know which, and I thought I recognized the voice as the person I allegedly knew. Before I found the door, for which I searched, the dream ended.
To the person below me: same question.
Miss Darcy

Last night, I dreamed I was at a Suzuki workshop somewhere that had a beach with palmtrees...possibly Hawaii, I can't tell you that. Anyway, in the morning, they had cello tutorials. Now, I don't play the cello, but if I could play another instrument along with violin and piano, I'd like to learn it. So I thought, now's my chance. The tutorial was on the beach. There was this large group of cellists sitting on stools in the sand, their cellos between their legs. A teacher I know was going to give the tutorial. I was talking to this little boy, could have been one of the ones that goes to orchestra on Saturdays, and then I decided I wouldn't try the cello that morning anyway. Apparently they went for a swim in the ocean after the lesson, which seemed necessary, and I didn't want to be all wet and sandy for my violin tutorials in the afternoon, so I just watched. :confused:

Moscow University! It has 600 and something buildings. The campus is more than 250 hectars and on "Lenin Hills" ( I think that's the name), there is a HUGE skyscraper, I don't know the name of it, but you'll see it right away. It's absolutely not necessary to speak Russian, there are people from every country you could think of with a translator at your disposal.
Moss? I have moss on my house, the outside walls, too much rain here. Mold is a big issue too, second only to England, I think, but don't quote me. Use sand in your yard in the spring mixed with lime. Moss is high in cellulose, so anything that kills cellulose would be brilliant. Babble babble babble.

My neighbour, who is quite elderly, rolled off her bed this morning and couldn't get up. (that isn't the part where I laughed)
She called me to come over and help and I was worried, thinking stroke or broken hip. When I got there, she'd fallen onto her shag carpet and her earring had hooked into the rug, she couldn't undo it, so she was stuck. It took me a while to stop laughing with her. She's all of 4' 10", and she makes me laugh every time I talk to her.

Sex. I'm always laughing about sex. Its such a funny subject.
Think of the most embarrassing thing you have ever said. Now you don't have to tell me what it was. Just let me know: who did you say it to? and what was their reaction?
I should not type what I said, but this occurred while in high school. I stood in front of a whole class, giving a presentation, and an acquaintance of mine mentioned something very embarrassing about me, regarding a recent event, and I could not but assent without words. My acquaintance, whom I had never liked, to tell honestly, reacted with his usual devilish smile, and the whole class, including my instructor, laughed for several minutes, and throughout the class time. Needless to say, they taunted me about it throughout the school year. :blush:

I would never have gotten married. Not that I'm not IN LOVe :ladysman: (that's supposed to be just one chick) but I don't see the need to marry. I like solitude, always have, and I married too young and he's too fast and his bike takes up too much room and he snores and he doesn't eat anything other than meat and potatoes and and and and and big breath ...well, you get it. I wish I'd married someone who worked up north and came home every four weeks.

Flying is just falling and forgetting to hit the ground, at least acording to Douglas Adams... :)
Who are you thinking about right now?
In reference to your dream, Chava, it sounds much like the phenomena of 'lucid dreaming,' which involves having knowledge of dreaming while dreaming. To answer your question, I thought of Edgar Allan Poe, his poem, "A Dream Within A Dream" - good one!

I usually wake up at around 6 o'clock... I try not to wake up any earlier than that and when I sleep in, I get to sleep till 8.30 am mostly...
How good are you with the hula hoop?
I find myself as horrible with a hula hoop, though I have not tried since childhood; I never found myself decent at it.
To the person below me: what house chore do you least enjoy?
Anything that involves scrubbing. No, worse than that, anything that requires the use of toxic chemicals. I don't do those.
Which historical era would you choose to live in and in what location in the world (the present one is an option)?

What was the last book you read?
Isagel
04-14-2005, 10:43 AM
"Lagen om stöd och service för vissa funktionshindrade" - "The law about special rights and services regarding certain disabilities" (my translation)
All work and no play makes Isagel a dull girl.
Have you tried those magnetic poetry games? If you did would you like to share one of your poems?
I loved those! Unfortunately, during my last move, I lost my poetry magnets; but, while I lived in a particular house, on one side of the refrigerator stuck the poetry words, and on the other side stuck my roommates' "sex and intimacy" words. Needless to say, when they mixed, periodically, it sounded like very explicitly suggestive poetry.
I cannot remember many works I compiled, but I recall trying to create the most alliterative construction with the letter 's.'
To the person below me: same question. :)

What is your favorite TV show?
Bandini

Spot on! When I use garlic, I usually use three cloves. Love it! I stink of it a fair bit of the time, but so does my girlfriend - so what, it smells good!
Where and when were you happiest?
Uhm probably in Hungary (I guess many of you expected those) at some point between september 2004 and february 2005... or in England in april 2002. Anywhere but here.
imaginatively, i'll ask: when and where were you saddest? :D
Bandini
04-14-2005, 05:35 PM
I'm back again - just trying out an avatar I made on some site; bit scary think I'll drop it! Saddest - hmmm! I used to get mad rather than sad when I was younger, and I've had no troughs for a long tiime, so it's difficult. I was maddest when I was young, skint, eating little, indulging lots, and devoid of any real love. Come to think of it I was pretty sad!

We are all holding our breath waiting for you to ask a question, Bandini so that we can carry on with the game.

What is your favorite TV show?
I guess I'll just answer that one... My favorite tv show has to be The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
same question.
I watch very few regular television shows, but nothing tops Jeopardy! which I try watching frequently; otherwise, I enjoy the late shows with David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Conan O'Brian.
To the person below me: what can you hear around you right now?

the television, my comp, a car whirring by outside, ooh brakes on another one, and i think a bus coming from down the street. a car door slamming, someone turning on their car alarm, the blinds flapping on the window sill, oh dear that's all.
has anyone, anonymous or otherwise, done a random act of kindness for you lately?
subterranean
04-14-2005, 08:05 PM

My life is completely structured now, with exact repetious schedules and hours and tasks....And I'm beginning to be afraid to act randomly, which I usssualy did back in colllege...doing something without planning is heaven!!!
How to get out of boredom?

No, I love old, flat global maps - I think they make great wallpaper for a study or library :)
