[imthefoolonthehill]

oops... i tried to answer the last question on the page before that.

I'm a big fan of the line:

"Shut up!" He explained

i don't know where its from.

Same question.

[mono]

Yikes, tough question!
The first that comes to mind, from John Keats' "Endymion:" A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

To the person below me: I liked Scher's question: how would you complete the sentence 'I wish . . .'?

[imthefoolonthehill]

I wish I was.

how would you complete the sentence:

I wish the hairy baboon would stop...

[Bandini]

...breathing. His heavy breathing makes me want to scream. That, and the way he always leaves toothpaste all over the sink.

What's your favourite vegetable?

[Scheherazade]

aubergine

What is your least favorite vegetable?

[Bandini]

Aubergines are in my top veggies! Lovely coated in seasoned flour and shallow fried in olive oil! MMM!

My least favourite is probably asparagus.

How do I start a new thread? I thought it would be good to get a game going. Here are the rules:
Take five books at random from your shelf. Then construct a paragraph from the following:

Book #1 -- first sentence,
Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty,
Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred,
Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty,
Book #5 -- final sentence of the book.

So my question is, how do I start a new thread?

[Bongitybongbong]

Wow I thought I would have a hard question. Go to where ever you want the thred to be click on the icon "new thread". then make a title above the message and right the message. click submit and you're done.

Question: Do you have good pizza shops around where you reside?

[amuse]

yes, yes, and yes! Pizzicato (http://www.ritzfilmbill.com/dinner/philadelphia/pizzicato.html) at at 3rd and Market (248 Market to be exact); their food is 100% to die for! the pizzas, the salads, the service, the decor, oh my goodness this is it. (Olde City Philly, btw.)

would you pick flowers for the one you love?

[Bongitybongbong]

I'd kill for the one I love so yeah.


Where do you keep your confidence?

[mono]

yes, yes, and yes! Pizzicato (http://www.ritzfilmbill.com/dinner/philadelphia/pizzicato.html) at at 3rd and Market (248 Market to be exact)
How strange that there exists a Pizzicato near the corner of 3rd and Market in my downtown city. :eek:

Hmm, where do I keep my confidence - nowhere tangible, surely, but residing somewhere in the will.

To the person below me: where do you go, and what do you do, usually, during your spare time?

[Basil]

In my spare time you can always find me poisoning pigeons in the park.

Did you have a lunchbox growing up?

[Miranda]

Yes, I did have a lunch box growing up but unfortunately I forgot to water it and it died, although this could also have been through lack of weeding as I am not the most expert of gardeners.

Where is your favourite park and what do you like best about it?

Miranda


In my spare time you can always find me poisoning pigeons in the park.

Did you have a lunchbox growing up?

[Helga]

In my capital city it's simply called 'The Grass Park' it has many rare flowers and it's really beautiful in the summer.

Can you sing?

[Scheherazade]

I can but I am not encouraged often enough by those who are near and dear me...

Can you listen?

[Bandini]

Yes - but I've got to be interested.

Can you juggle?

[Anselmus]

Yes, thanks to creative elementry school physical education teaching :)


If you were given a large sum of money, assuming you've already distributed to family and friends, you have at least 10 mil left, what would you buy for yourself (up to 3 things)?

[Bandini]

An estate (country not council), a commune for good hearted destitutes (but I wouldn't spend much time there!), a small, but beautiful island, if I could afford it.

[kilted exile]

no Q left so answering previous one.

1)Partick Thistle Football Club
2)Old fashioned car with running board (http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_str/30barker.jpg)

what was your last good deed?

[Scheherazade]

Was offered a choice of two gifts for my birthday: a new pair of sunglasses or a donation to Red Cross for the same amount... I opted for Red Cross donation.

When was the last time you laughed heartily? (and at what if you don't mind sharing?)

[mono]

Last night I laughed so hard. Psyche, while at her apartment, feeling very cold, as, for some reason, the weather has seemed abnormally rainy and very cold, as a hint for me to retrieve her a blanket or robe, she rhythmically kept saying "burr-burr-de-burr-burr-burr-de-burr."

To the person below me: same question.

[Bongitybongbong]

I'd say Friday when I pissed off people at the mall and got kicked out.

Who's your rock for troubled times?

[imthefoolonthehill]

How many hotmail accounts have you got?

[mono]

One, and another e-mail address through my college.

To the person below me: how fast do you type, or how fast do you think you type? Really fast? Neither fast, nor slow? Really slow?

[ajoe]

I can type up to 90 wpm if I concentrate really hard and feel really determined (e.g. at an actual typing test, which I do take occasionally), but most of the time I'm probably typing 80-85 wpm.

Are you more fanatical about which: spotting grammer error or mispelling? ;D

[Bongitybongbong]

mispelling because grammatical mistakes vary through languages and I'm too stupid.

[imthefoolonthehill]

are you going to ask a question?

[Scheherazade]

yes.

What do you see when you look out of your window?

[imthefoolonthehill]

my yard, a field, a road, a horse pasture, another horse pasture, another feild, another feild, a few houses, a few trees, a canal, a hill, then way beyond the hill I see the City of Caldwell and Owyhee mountains in the distance.

same question

[Bongitybongbong]

I see road, some trees, a driveway, and the neighbors.

What animal is coolest: tiger, monkey, alligator, or chicken?

[papayahed]

Tiger

What's your current favorite song?

[Bongitybongbong]

hmmm......
You're Better Off Dead- Children of Bodom

When did you find this forum?

[imthefoolonthehill]

April of 2003

The same month I joined.

what has most recently made you question your state of conciousness? A.K.A. What has last made you wonder whether you are dreaming?

[papayahed]

This morning when I was getting on the expressway and the sign said "Topeka" and I said to myself "It's still strange that I could go to topeka, weird"

What are you weraing right now? The outer garments will be sufficient.

[Anselmus]

Old, faded blue jeans with about 6 patches (very comfortable)
An old, faded green plaid long sleeve button up shirt that is falling apart at the seems
My spectacles (haven't put in contacts yet...)
An old pendant I designed in high school that an old friend had made for me, secured by just a leather strap


What do you like to wear when you lounge around? (if you lounge…)

[Scheherazade]

T-shirts which are far too large and long for me.

Has it got to be perfect?

[kilted exile]

nope, close enough will suffice

Do birds wake you up every morning with their annoying singing?

[imthefoolonthehill]

no, i wake up before the birds

does the sun get in your eyes on your way to work?

[Miss Darcy]

I don't go to work. :D

Why did the girl play the violin at the concert?

[papayahed]

To get to the other side.

What's your favorite dish to cook? or eat if you don't cook.

[Bandini]

At the moment it's this quick but tasty t'ing I discovered by chucking loads of stuff together: roast loads of Aubergines and cherry tomatoes in olive oil and rosemary (until they're well cooked - at about 200 C. Meanwhile fry up some chicken goujons and garlic in olive oil. Meanwhile cook some pasta. Add the cooked chicken to the vegetables, then stir in a tin of cream of mushroom soup (trust me!). Meanwhile stir in loads of Parmesan into the pasta. Mix it all up together (hope you used a big dish - I use a big oval Pyrex one), grate some cheddar cheese on top and return to oven on full heat, until brown.

What's your favourite item of clothing?

[kilted exile]

My de-evolving T-shirt (starts at ape progresses through walking upright, using tools etc. then shows drunkenness taking over leaving person crawling again)

Can you tie a tie?

[Jay]

Yup

same question

[shortysweetp]

nope
clip on tie or tie tie?

[Bandini]

Pur-lease! Clip ons are for *****[CENSORED]*****

Had to edit the above. I didn't use a perjorative term, and .... and, who are clip on ties for?

What are learning difficulties anyway? If you're on this site and consider yourself to have 'Learning difficulties'; then you are a victim of 'over labelling' and over use of bio-medical/pathologisation - in my opinion. We're all different; I have found many people with 'learning difficulties' to be interesting, humorous people with a lot to give (and there, you've made ME sound patronising now!)

Doesn't making a (non-perjorative - I did not use an offensive word)term 'taboo' mean that you help to make that social group taboo? I'm a very liberal sort of a guy, but do worry about that 'politically correct/stifling of ideas' borderline. That said, I am not keen on perjorative terms for those who are not the 'norm'.

Oh, your probably right - but doesn't it all get terribly po faced and a bit of a minefield?

Perhaps I am wrong. I like to learn. Please enter into debate.


Laces or velcro? (!) No, seriously...what's your favourite TV show?

[Scheherazade]

CSI

Who do you think should play you in a movie about your life story?

[amuse]

i don't know if anyone could! it's all sort of convoluted; but if there were a cross between halle berry and angela basset, that would work. one has the freshness, the other the depth.
(not to be rude.)

you below me : same question. :)

[Helga]

Cate Blanchett, she is good in dramatic roles and my life is not a comedy. if it was a movie about my teenage years I think I would say Kirsten Dunst, I love her in the Virgin Suicide

[Scheherazade]

What is the worst film you have ever seen?

[mono]

I really want to decline this question, as I know it will offend many people, but Star Wars. I apologize in advance. :p

[baddad]

What's the last concert you went to?

[imthefoolonthehill]

never been to a concert... I'm thinking about going to Mudvayne when they come to boise...would like to go to the velvitrevolver/hoobastank concert in a few days, but have no one to take, and don't like going to movies by myself, so i don't think i'd like to go to concerts by myself.

when was the last time you read a book in one sitting?

[Helga]

yesterday

to the person below same question....

[mono]

Several months ago when I read Virginia Woolf's A Room Of One's Own, which I would recommend to anyone. :thumbs_up

To the person below me: same question. :)

[Bandini]

A couple of weeks ago I read a Chomsky book about media and control in one sitting - it was a little one!

[Scheherazade]

And your question is? ;)

[Bandini]

Ooops! Been a long day!

What was the last thing you read that made you angry?

[papayahed]

I know there was something after this, but this is all I can think of right now: Bury my heart at Wounded knee.

Same question.

[mono]

A newspaper article concerning some of the strong, and very offensive views, of body art.

To the person below me: do you have pets, if so what?

[shortysweetp]

A betta fish named nemo, if that counts. its really my daughter's but since she's only 2 i take care of it so its mine too

to the person below: what is your favorite animal?

[mono]

Felines; I have always adored cats.
Other than that, perhaps the Liger (sorry, I watched Napoleon Dynamite last night, and, whenever I watch it, I find myself quoting from it for the next week). :p

To the person below me: what movie did you last see?

[shortysweetp]

Sideways.

to the person below: what is your favorite movie that makes you laugh?

[mono]

Tough one, but I like much of the dry, ridiculous humor, like in The Goonies, Napoleon Dynamite, Monty Python films, and the series of shows by Mr. Bean.

To the person below me: what book did you find most humorous?

[shortysweetp]

i would have to say one written by Charles Bukowski probably hollywood or women

to the person below: book that scared you the most?

[mono]

William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist - far, far better, disturbing, and scarier than the movie (which did not affect me nearly at all).

To the person below me: same question.

[shortysweetp]

stephen king's IT

To the person below: favorite romantic novel?

[mono]

Easily, anything by D.H. Lawrence, Sons and Lovers, Women in Love, or Lady Chatterly's Lover . . . love, love, love.

To the person below me: favorite classic comic book/comic hero?

[shortysweetp]

I would have to say Archie (that counts right?) i was never into comic much

to the person below: same question

[mono]

Either Garfield or anyone from Charles Schultz's Peanuts.

To the person below me: if you could become any cartoon character, who would you choose, and why?

[shortysweetp]

cathy (comic strip) b/c she is a typical woman with a shoe fetish and now she's married and trying to figure that out.

same question

[mono]

I say this with only a little shame, but probably one of the little fairies off of the animated Disney film, Ferngully - I like the idea of living a life like Robin Goodfellow (Puck).
Other than that, maybe Linus from Peanuts, just because he seems so modest, sentimental, and affectionate.

To the person below me: I still like this question that someone else asked - if you chose someone to portray you in a movie, who would you choose other than yourself, and why?

[shortysweetp]

wow thats a hard question. it would have to be someone short with a great personality :) maybe kirsten dunst or reese witherspoon if they dyed their hair brown i would have to say the girl that was in matchstick men and white oleander (i forget her name) b/c she has played a role of someone like me already.

same question if you havent already answered
or favorite movie star?

[Bandini]

Alison Lohman - I googled. Good movie. I'd want Sean Penn playing me.

Who would play your love interest and why?

[mono]

Jeepers creepers, good question. Though no one can quite compare to Ms. Psyche (especially while I suddenly hum Sinead O'Connor to myself), I may have to go with Gwyneth Paltrow, having always a strong affinity for her acting and grace.

To the person below me: same question. ;)

[Bandini]

Likewise, Bandinette is incomparable. A young(er) Brigette Fonda, as Bandinette is only 28.

Clubs or pubs?

[Isagel]

Pub first, club later...

What is you favorite way of spending a saturday evening?

[mono]

If I feel active, I will go to the Saturday Market (http://www.saturdaymarket.org/), and perhaps wander around town with friends or family; if I feel not as active, I will most likely spend the evening with leisure writing. Tonight, probably, will result in much studying for a mid-term on Monday morning.

To the person below me: who do you consider your favorite actors/actresses?

[Miss Darcy]

Actors. First, Colin Firth; second, Kenneth Branagh; third, Alan Rickman. Actresses, first, Emma Thompson, second, Kate Winslet...third...third...Audrey Hepburn, I suppose.

Do you go to concerts/ballets/operas often?

[mono]

Not as often as I would like, but I have attended far more plays in the past than concerts, operas, and musicals combined. Unfortunately, being so low on funds, due to college, the last opera I saw by Richard Strauss, Die Fledermaus, roughly a year ago.

To the person below me: what scent do you love most?

[Bandini]

Manufactured - Paul Smith London. Natural - my girlfriend.

Sorry - forgot the question again.

[imthefoolonthehill]

edited for relevence.

time to ask a question

do you like yogurt?

[Snukes]

I *want* to like yog(h)urt. Yogurt is good for me. It comes in many nice flavors. But alas...

The really thick custardy kind is good!

The frozen kind is divine!

The kind covering raisins is scrumptious.

So maybe I do like yogurt.

Do you like mushrooms?

[Bandini]

Yes. I have enjoyed many varieties of this fine fungal foodstuff.

What is your favourite fungus?

[mono]

Mmm, the word 'fungus' sounds so appetizing. :D
For consumption, I would have to choose mushrooms; I love them especially raw with some bleu cheese dressing.

To the person below me: where have you travelled that you loved most?

[Psyche]

I haven't been to very many places. The most memorable was probably my trip to Yosemite with my father.
We climbed Half-Dome and Nevada and Vernal Falls, I ate his concocted camping "pizza" made out of tomato paste, string cheese and wheat bread slices, and he decided to climb a tree one night only to be trapped up there by a bear who picked up apples and started throwing them at him! Great fun. :D

Below me:
What is the most risky thing you have ever done?

[Loki]

Put my life in danger by standing still on my bike in the middle of the road to save the long line of caterpillars which were migrating across it from being run over. :D

Same question.

[imthefoolonthehill]

gone hunting with someone who has tried to kill me before.

same question

[amuse]

...my father...he decided to climb a tree one night only to be trapped up there by a bear who picked up apples and started throwing them at him! Great fun. :D
this actually happened???? :eek: did you take pictures? was the bear playing a game? and why didn't it play with you?

[amuse]

i've done a lot of risky things. here are a few:
took a bath with a radio that decided to fall into the tub with me - it unplugged itself on the way down, thank you very much.
took a 'short cut' when hiking down yosemite falls only to find out i was inches away from the precipice and there was no trail left, just stakes that someone had hammered into the granite. couldn't go up, had to crawl backwards and sideways on my hands and knees.
visited someone clandestinely and took a train back at 5 a.m. to get back to the station, i had to walk two miles on the shoulder of a 4-lane highway in the dark, with big-rigs swooshing past me going 45 mph or so.

same question

[Psyche]

There were apples all over the ground, and the bear just picked them up and started chucking them at my dad. He was freaking out and telling his wife and i to go find the forest rangers, call the national guard, all that %$%#$, but I just thought it was hilarious. (In retrospect, why [b]didn't[/b[ the bear play with me?) :lol:

[amuse]

that's hysterical!!!! jolly good game of catch!

[Scheherazade]

Moving to another country without knowing anyone there.

What will you have for dinner?

[kilted exile]

probably perogies

do you believe in fate?

[papayahed]

I used too, I'm not so sure anymore.

What's your favorite color? (I know- very original)

[mono]

Either black or dark blue.

To the person below me: on average, do you use a cell phone or a home phone more often?

[Miss Darcy]

Probably home phone. No, cell phone. No - I'd say home phone. Cell phone. Argh. Home phone? :D

To the person below: Do you play a musical instrument?

[mono]

A few, yes. I play best with stringed instruments, guitar, bass, mandolin and a little on cello, but I also play some piano (which a few could consider a strings instrument), percussion (mostly hand-percussion), trumpet, and harmonica.
Taliesin once made this thread, also: http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3430

To the person below me: what weather and outdoor temperature do you enjoy most, and why?

[baddad]

Hot,hot, hot! Caliente', caliente', caliente'!! Desert conditions, with a fresh water source (a clean lake, river). Why hot? I once lived for 3.5 years in a place where minus 45-55 degrees CELCIUS was the rule, not the exception, during long periods in the winters. This environment fundamentally changed me. I live in a desert like valley, where the sun is a major attraction, held in reverence. Cold is bad. Hot is good. Hot is godly, hot tends to encourage people to enjoy cool beverages, and clothing becomes much less ...................................concealing..... ..

Person below me: Favorite accouterment to your birthday suit?

[papayahed]

http://www.curiositycafe.com/images_Products/10510-Horn.jpg

Same question.

[mono]

Usually a good bottle of pinot noir. :p

To the person below me: do you consider yourself more of an abstract or concrete thinker?

[Koa]

Absolutely, totally, completely abstract. To the point of being embarassing in concrete matters of life...

what do you consider as the biggest waste of time?

[Bandini]

'Dangerous' sports. If you want to be dangerous do domething REALLY dangerous, not something that loads of middle class milk toasts do. Yes, I know I'm a grumpy git but...bah!

[amuse]

"Is there no one below you to ask a question of?" she asked innocently. ;)

[Bandini]

Every time - so sorry! You write great poetry - who has been your greatest influence?

[amuse]

thx. :)
poet: Richard Brautigan, hands down.
person: T--, my erstwhile friend and lover. a wonderful, complicated, simple, labyrinth of a man.

do you have a favorite part of england, in terms of scenery?
and how did you find this forum? (can save this question for later, if you'd prefer.)

[mono]

Eh, I have never traveled to England, but I would love to someday, along with the nearby Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. In terms of scenery . . . well, I have heard lovely things about Sussex, England, though not from personal experience. ;)

To the person below me: favorite Shakespeare play?

[baddad]

Hamlet. It satisfies a ghoulish parallel with life. Everbody dies. Ya' gotta like that.....

[amuse]

green seedless grapes eaten by the pound; thank you Very much. :)

liverwurst or head cheese?

[baddad]

*swallows noisily* Gulp..........uh.....the head cheese, as we all know, has absolutely nothing to do with the dairy kind of cheese....right? I'll gag down the liverwurst.....


luggage or backpack to travel?

[amuse]

*swallows noisily* Gulp..........uh.....the head cheese, as we all know, has absolutely nothing to do with the dairy kind of cheese....right? I'll gag down the liverwurst.....roflmao :D :D

[mono]

Backpack, they seeming much more portable and travel-friendly.

To the person below me: chess or checkers?

[Loki]

Chess.

Food or thought?

[Helga]

thought

What sense would you rather live without: seeing or speaking?

[Molko]

Speaking, because i could always learn sign language to communicate with other people.

Which person do you think has made the most contribution to science?

[mono]

Very difficult to say, considering the many sciences in existence, but perhaps one of the ancient Greeks, who started much thought concerning science, before scientific instruments, maybe Anaximander, Hippocrates, or Aristotle. In terms of more modern science, especially with all of the branches, I cannot even guess.

To the person below me: same question. :)

[Snukes]

For the biological and medical sciences, I would add Galen to the list mono started. Plato and his Forms were also relatively important...

But then you have to start wondering about how many things qualify as science (or the products of science) and this poor question gets entirely out of control! So moving right along...

How long do you suppose a human would have to live before s/he got bored of all the options?

[caspian]

oh, I think it's up on person, it may even take too short time to feel deeply bored. but when your skin is too wrinkled, you can walk just with help of stick and you're over 90 you probably should feel bored of the life.

what's your usually mood at your birthday? Are you feel sorry for another year you've lost or you don't care years at all?

[Scheherazade]

I don't care about the years (well past the point of caring! :D) and have a nice time with friends and family.

How long can you keep the hulahoop going?

[amuse]

.003 seconds, +

the monty python one, I don't think they make it anymore but I love it and have a few tapes. I also love 'couples' or whatever it's called

do you know of any Icelandic person, besides Bjork (and me)?

[papayahed]

Nope, but there was a show last night about building a tunnel in Iceland and I read Red Rabbit? that was partly set in Iceland. And I do want to visit.

Have you ever caught and eaten your own fish?

[kilted exile]

Yes, most recently was whilst ice-fishing on lake Simcoe a couple of months back.

Why did you first come to this forum?

[baddad]

A Very Bad Mom sent me here. A lucky day for me.....

[baddad]

Christina Aguilara sings some wickedly beautiful blues songs (Merry Xmas Baby) and her voice sends chills down the spine when she is doing it......Britney curdles my stomach.....

....But this is not the either or thread......

Who is your favorite living example of a hero/peace-prize contender?

[subterranean]

I think I don't have any...

Does Gore Vidal count?


How is it feel to live in lat.51.7,long.114.13,1140m above sea level?

[mono]

I have never lived nor visited that area, but maybe someday with time.

To the person below me: in what way do you usually release your anger, frustration, and/or melancholy?

[Helga]

I smoke like crazy with coffee or Coca cola in my hand

below: same question?

[Jay]

Usually listening to music, very loudly, from time to time beating the crap out of a wall if it's kinda big on the grrrr factor, reading fave fanfics.

same question

[kilted exile]

I used to punch things, however I stopped doing that because I broke 2 knuckles punching a brick wall whilst annoyed one time. Now I throw things at walls instead, or use my stress ball.

[Jay]

Hinty ;), someone forgot to ask a question :D

I've never broke a knuckle... yet, did a few soft tissue injury things to them a few times though :rolleyes:

[amuse]

Hinty ;), someone forgot to ask a question :D;)

have you ever sung in public?


oy, am not sure if it's sang or sung. :(

[Helga]

yep all the time, people get used to it

same question

[papayahed]

Yep, I've been told I can't carry a tune in a bucket!

What's the last song you heard?

[Helga]

silent night by Lisa Hannigan

[caspian]

gangs of NewYourk.

Can you stand Leanordo?

[Helga]

Do you like Picasso's paintings?

[Loki]

Some of them.

Is the world round?

[subterranean]

Depends,

Would I be killed if I say no?

[mono]

Burned at the stake, perhaps? Just kidding. :lol:
Nah, no killing, maybe just asked many questions of why.

To the person below me: what song gets most stuck in your head?

[caspian]

Elvida, aci gunler, elvida!
Elvida, ayriliglar, elvida!!!!!!!!
"Elvida" by Manana

Which song of Michael Jakson do you like most?

[Jay]

You Are Not Alone comes to mind first

fave (ideal, perfect, dream...) vacation? (place, time, company... anything)

[mono]

Hmmm, difficult to say, but probably a backpacking trip around Greece, and the area, possibly around the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World.

To the person below me: same question.

[Molko]

My ideal vacation would be sitting and relaxing in the sands of Tunisia. Also, it would be great to visit Carthage while Im there!

What is your favourite cartoon show and why?

[Helga]

'Mumindalen' it is so great because it's simple and funny and stupid and educational all at once. Also when I'm stressed out it calms me down to read the short 7 page books I own about them. ;)

Below: same question?

[Rachy]

Simpsons. Just really makes me laugh.

Why did you join these forums?

[mono]

Once upon a time, a looooong time ago, I first found the site looking for some of the works of Virginia Woolf, and, finding the site very helpful, I visited now and then to read more works by various authors and poets. By chance, I happened to discover the link 'Forums,' browsed around a few times, and loved it; firstly intending to, not only talk about literature, but share some poetry, I have yet to do it out of shyness. :blush:

To the person below me: if you summarized yourself in one poem or one song's lyrics, what would you choose, and why?

[Molko]

Hmmmm tough question mono....I'd have to say We Float by PJ Harvey. Why? Maybe because I think I take life just as it comes.

To the person below me: If you could have one talent what would it be and why?

[Miss Darcy]

Heh, that sounds like an Ungame question. Well, assuming this is a talent I definitely don't have, then I'd say..."the talent of conversing easily with strangers" to quote Mr Darcy...(well it was actually "I do not have the talent that some possess of conversing easily with strangers" or something close to that" but...)

Person below: same question please. Not feeling overly creative at the moment so...

[Helga]

to be able to draw good pictures and paintings, because it is a form of expression I would like to have.

below: have you heard of the show I said was my fave cartoon?

[papayahed]

Nope, I've never heard of Mumindalen.

What, if any is your favorite comic strip?

[mono]

Yikes, tough question; I love so many. My favorite would thrive somewhere in the labyrinth between Peanuts, Garfield and Friends, Family Circus, and Dilbert.

To the person below me: same question. :)

[baddad]

Bizarro was my fave, but since it has been retired I enjoy Non-sequitur.

Person below: Do you have suspicions about a conception you may have?(beginning to suspect maybe you are wrong, a.k.a, misconception?)

[Jay]

Oh yeah, lots.

Favourite month of the year? (and why if you have a reason)

[Snukes]

Usually the one coming up next. Although at the moment, I'd say September is looking especially nice (no more nacky thesis! yes more family! yes more boy!)

How do you feel about slugs? :)

[Scheherazade]

I dont think "they are the cutest creatures... ever!!!!! lololol!!!!!" but I don't mind holding them either...

What is the last book you left unfinished?

[kilted exile]

The cold six thousand by James Ellroy, the basic premise was ok, but the book did not move quickly enough for my liking. (attention span destroyed by television & rugby)

What should you be doing just now?

[amuse]

selling a book or running home to pack

what are your summer plans?

answer to Scher: textbooks - bought them all at once.
how's that for like when you buy six sodas and count them as one so you can stand in the express checkout? :D

[Scheherazade]

Relax and catch up on the things I have been neglecting.

What is the last book you bought?

[amuse]

see above! :D

what about you?

[papayahed]

Curiosities of Kansas. I figure i should make the most out of my Kansas experience and see all I can.

Were you ever embarrassed to buy a book, if so which one?

[mono]

I remember, as a child in elementary school, I loved many of the creepy books by R.L. Stine; I had, in fact, read almost all of the author's books by age 10. For a class project, each of us had to pick out a fiction book of our choice, and since I had read so many of the Stine books in the school library, I asked my dad for some money so I could purchase one at the bookstore; there, I found one I had never read called Double Date. Feeling so excited, I never hesitated in purchasing it. Needless to say, concerning my age (perhaps 8 or 9 at the time), the bookstore saleswoman gave me a strange look and smirk, judging the title of the book, and several other classmates at school laughed when they discovered the book I read. I enjoyed it in my odd childish humor, regardless.

To the person below me: same question.

[Basil]

It was, uh, for a friend. No, seriously. Stop looking at me like that.

If you could have a free lifetime subscription to any magazine or journal, which would you choose?

[Helga]

Atlantic monthly, my English teacher showed me a few of his and I loved it.
You can't buy it anywere here so I just use the website... :(


below: same Q

[Scheherazade]

Of course:

http://a820.g.akamai.net/f/820/822/1d/i.ivillage.com/17/inthisissue/0605/mag.jpg


Ever borrowed a book from a friend and 'forgotten' to return it? If yes, which one?

[Molko]

Yes, I've forgotten to return wuthering heights to a friend. Dont ask how long ive had it for...its kinda embarrassing...:P

Physics or Chemistry - which one do you prefer?

[mono]

Definitely chemistry, especially organic chemistry. http://forums.trek-network.com/style_emoticons/default/nerd.gif

To the person below me: Biology or ecology?

[juhainah]

none of them, but I think that ecology is at least much better than biology!!!

Which one do u prefer--psychology or history?

[Molko]

Heheh....definately psychology

To the person below me: Chocolate or cake?

[papayahed]

Cake.

Devils food or Angel food cake?

[Snukes]

Mmmm, devil's food...

What's the wildest party you've ever been to?

[Jay]

Party? What party? :p

same question

[baddad]

Hmmmmm.....wildest party.............Kingston Ontario, Canada, Home of the Tragically Hip (Canadian rock band)............a bunch of performance artists held a party......body paint a prerequisite, clothing optional...........some very interesting ...designs.........and the party started at midnight.............whoooooeeeee!!!!

[Helga]

That sounds great baddad......there is no question.....

[Scheherazade]

Craziest party... last year at university... two weeks before graduation... garden party on the campus... need I say more? ;)

What was the high point of yesterday?

[Molko]

When I found out that I'll be seeing a certain person this weekend and watching a Clockwork Orange on T.V

To the person below me: same question

[mono]

Yes, actually. One of my nursing courses paces itself at a student's own progress; we merely have a certain amount of tasks to finish by the end of the term. I completed my tasks with much time to spare for the remains of the term (the eighth student out of 90-something).

To the person below me: What kind of food do you enjoy cooking most?

[Molko]

Eggs on toast - because that's the only thing I can really cook!!!

To the person below me: What television show do you think deserves to be axed and why?

[mono]

Any one of those dating game-shows that drive me crazy. Most of them merely follow around the couple, or the competing women for men (or vice versa), and record the revealing of flesh and brainless flirting techniques.
I apologize in advance if my opinion offends anyone.

To the person below me: same question.

[Molko]

I absolutely cannot stand Big Brother. Grrrr..... It seems so pointless and also a mockery of 1984. Well, that's my opinion. Sorry if any here likes that show.

Apparently there may be a remake of A Clockwork Orange. Do you think this should push through? Or would it just butcher a classic?

[Scheherazade]

I would like to see another adaptation...

What has been the low point of your day?

[Émilie]

Getting up after not getting enough sleep.

same question

[Helga]

when my mom said it was a mistake to get Spock

what was the high point of your day?

[papayahed]

when I recieved the estimate to fix up my house, it was a very fair estimate.

What are your plans for the weekend?

[Snukes]

Finish a paper about settlement patterns in ancient Greece, then go to dinner at the home of a family from Ghana. I am soooo excited to try African cooking!

What's the most exotic thing you've ever eaten?

[Helga]

some south-american fruit thingy that looked like a cactus and when open like an old grape or an eye but tasted like heaven.

same Q?

[Snukes]

A lychee fruit!! I'm quite enamoured. I don't at all understand how to put a picture up, or I'd put a big squishy lychee up to show off... :p

Exotic. Hm. Can't think straight, so I'll just keep passing the question along...

[mono]

Hmmm, interesting question, but if this includes beverages, I would have to choose dok suni - a Korean desert drink made of ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar, and pine nuts. Mmmm! :D

To the person below me: have you ever eaten anything you did not feel familiar with, and regretted it afterwards? If so, what?

[Molko]

Once my dad tricked me into eating this chicken liver kebab. I thought something wasnt 'quite right' with it - as the colour was not your standard chicken white - but nonetheless still ate it because I trusted my dad was telling the truth. Erghhhh... although I had never eaten liver prior to that, I always had an aversion to eating it. And after eating the liver kebab, it further enforced my dislike for it... I regret trusting my Dad that it really was just a chicken kebab lol

To the person below me: do you think alternate universes exist?

[Snukes]

No, I don't suppose I do. Don't you think one infinite universe is enough??

Would you rather be in an earthquake or a hurricane? :p

[Monica]

Tough choice :D I once sort of was in an earthquake so maybe I'd choose a hurricane this time.

If you could change one law of physics what would it be?

[mono]

To temporarily eliminate entropy, just to see, if one could see, what would happen. :eek:

To the person below me: did you have significantly high or low point of your weekend? If so, what?

[Scheherazade]

High point: Dealing with some unfinished things at hand.
Low point: Catching a cold.

Which song is in your head right now?

[mono]

"Tiny Dancer" by Elton John. During a meeting with one of my instructors, someone listened to this song on the stereo nearby, and, instead of listening more intently on my instructor's words, I found myself humming along with the tune. :D

To the person below me: same question.

[Molko]

Inertiatic ESP by the Mars Volta

Im so tired and uncreative at the moment, so to the person below me: same question :p

[Émilie]

I Caught Fire (in your eyes), The Used

I like this question so same one

[baddad]

"...I woke up in a Soho doorway,
the policeman knew my name..." Who Are You?.......THE WHO

Q: Do you brush your teeth in the shower?

[Assyra]

No.

Q: Have you ever tried to jump out of 2nd floor window?

[Molko]

Nope, not that adventurous :p

To the person below me: If you could star with any celebrity in a movie, who would it be?

[mono]

I could never act well, even if it depended on my life. If I directed or wrote a movie, however, I think I would enjoy working with, one of my favorite actors, Anthony Hopkins.

To the person below me: if you could learn another language, what would you choose, and why?

[Scheherazade]

French. I already speak a little French so I would like to improve. I think it sounds beautiful. And the idea of speaking a fourth language is very tempting.

Last movie you watched at home?

[Émilie]

In Good Company, not great...

Are you into politics ?

[Scheherazade]

Yes, quite.

Do you vote? Why/why not?

[Snukes]

No. I don't believe this world's leaders can solve our problems and I want no responsibility for the messes they make.

Do you think flying twinkies and dancing nanas could get along? :)

[mono]

Yes, I think the two could live in the greatest harmony. :)

To the person below me: what did you last dream?

[Molko]

I dreamt I was in this place with mosques every where and you could constantly hear the adhan (i think that's what it is called...basically its the call for prayer)

To the person below me: what was the scariest dream you've ever had?

[Helga]

Well, last week I dreamted that somebody hit Spock with his car and I woke up screaming. Also about a year ago I had a dream that two guys very trying to stab him with a knife and I ran in front of it and they stabbed me. and then there is a guy that appears in my dreams and shoots me or just treats me like s**t. they are all about the worst things I can imagine so just choose one....

below: Do you know who Spock is? (the one I mentioned above)

[kilted exile]

hmmm....That would be the dog in your previous avatar, i believe.

What was the last band you saw?

[papayahed]

ever the 80's child the last band I saw was Motley Crue back in February.


Which website do you frequent the most?

[mono]

This one, definitely, besides Hotmail. Others: Yahoo! Chess and Emedicine.com/

To the person below me: same question.

[amuse]

besides for this one, chocolateandzucchini.com; online boggle friends network, and the crossed keys.
