Would You??

[Tournesol]

Ok, Anti, yes, I would sneak into the movies for free...


Would you sneak your pet into the movies?

[Shalot]

probably. it would depend on what else was near what I was eating out of the dumpster.

would you re-use a Q-tip?

[motherhubbard]

Yes, in a pinch I would. If there was nothing else that would fit and I needed to stick something in my ear really bad I would re-use. I usually keep an extra in my pocket (that’s true).

Would you buy crappy art just to make the artist happy?

[djy78usa]

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! One of my biggest pet peeves is artists that, despite the fact that their works are crap, are coddled into believing they are some post-modern genius.


would you give up eating meat if you found out that all animals were rapaciously taunted (a la John Cleese's Frenchman in Holy Grail) before they were slaughtered?

[motherhubbard]

We kill most of our own meat- and not with kindness although it is as humane as possible- so I guess not.

Would buy items you knew were made by child labor

[papayahed]

Probably not but I think that it happens more often then I wish to think.

If you were in a plane crash in the Andes would you eat the dead passengers to stay alive?

[_Shannon_]

I'm guessing that if that was the only choice and starvation and dehydration was setting in--probably...But I wouldn't kill them to eat them.

If you found $100 and couldn't find the owner--would you save it, spend it, or give it away?

[papayahed]

No, if I'm helping throughout the year I don't see a reason to give up a holiday. I don't live near my family so when I do get back I like to visit as much as I can.

Would you give a job to an ex-con?

[papayahed]

depends on the crime and the job.

What would you do if I sang out of tune?

[kilted exile]

Possibly laugh depends on the song

Would you stand up & walk out on me?

[djy78usa]

Not if you tried not to sing out of key.

Would you end a serious relationship (not including marriage) if you had a once in a lifetime job oppurtunity?

[Sarasvati21]

Nope.

Would work ever be more important to you than your loved ones?

[EricP]

I've ended a relationship once because I wanted to devote more time to preparing lessons and reading! My family and close friends would come before work, though.

Would you kill someone you hated if you knew you wouldn't get caught?

[papayahed]

ummmm, No.


Would you kick someone you hated if you knew you wouln't get caught?

[papayahed]

Yes, I would want them to tell me!

Would you tell your bosses boss that his zipper was down?

[Sarasvati21]

Certain members of my family, yes, but not my entire family.

If you were on good terms with someone, but not best friends, would you freely go into their personal belongings for something you needed?

[Guinivere]

No, in this day and age, privacy has a whole knew aquired a whole new meaning. I will keep what is left of mine, and respect the privacy of others in return.

Would you climb Mt. Everest ?

[kilted exile]

Nope, I am far too lazy. I would consent to be carried to the top by sherpas however.........


Would you try & eat 12 doughnuts in 15mins for a bet?

[motherhubbard]

no, I hate to barf.

Would you give up a food that your spouse disliked?

[kiz_paws]

no, and he'd respect my right to eat whatever it was

If you won a backstage pass to a celebrity that you secretly (or so you thought it was secret) swoon over -- would you take this opportunity if your loved one (girlfriend/boyfriend/hubby/wife, whatever) seemed quite bothered over it?

[Guinivere]

No

Would you rather read an old "lived-in" paperback edition of War & Peace or a brand new one ?

[naomi moon]

Nope, never.

Would you have a baby from the man you love before you are married to him?

[aBIGsheep]

I lack the spare parts.
:DD

If you wanted too, could you tie all of your hair in braids, and I do mean all.

[papayahed]

Probably not.


Would you sail the seven seas?

[kiz_paws]

Yes, I would!

But COULD you paint the seven shades of blue?

[papayahed]

If I wanted to I could!!:lol:

Would you sit outside at Wrigley Field in 30F to watch a hockey game?

[BulletproofDork]

No way! If there's one thing I don't like more than sports, it's cold temperatures.

Would you smile upon the return of the little green tongue smilie? :)

[Delta40]

Yes! I love green and I love smilies (is that the right answer???)

Would you peel and chop onions with open cuts on your hands because someone you love asked you to?

[BulletproofDork]

:p If I loved that someone and if that someone loved me, why would he ask me to do that? :) In other words, I'd probably say no.


Would you (pam's question)?

[Silas Thorne]

No, I would adamantly refuse.

Would you eat dog?

[Silas Thorne]

Wait..someone's done that..

Would you enter a wet T-shirt or wet underwear competition?

[lupe]

Yes, as a spectator of course...

Would-you marry a girl who likes reading "People" magazine?

[Delta40]

Definitely not. I don't like girls.


Would clean chunky carrot and tomato vomit from public toilets as a paid job?

[Silas Thorne]

Mmm.. yummy. No, I wouldn't. I gag very easily, and would soon add to the decor..:sick:

How about Green eggs and ham:
Would you, could you, on a boat? Would you, could you, with a goat?

[papayahed]

I don't really care for green eggs and ham but in honor of the doctor I would.

Would you only eat pasta, tuna, and peanut butter and jelly for a year if it meant saving up for a trip around the world?

[Silas Thorne]

No because I would probalbly be malnourished and sick on my trip.

If you had a time machine to go back in time, would you kill baby Adolf?

[SoonerSoul]

No..... Id kidnap him and give him a happier life....:)

[papayahed]

hey good answer.


Would you buy a used mattress, if it looks to be in good shape and it was cheap?

[kilted exile]

Sure, it's not like your gonna be sleeping on the bare matress anyway


Would you consider opening your own business?

[Niamh]

yes i would but funds is an issue...

would you stick a post it on your back that read "if you can read this post it, you are in my personal space so back off!"

[Chava]

No

Would you sell your things, and just leave?

[BulletproofDork]

Depends ... on a lot of things.


Would you donate money to charity?

[Niamh]

I donate to three

would you bungee jump

[sprinks]

Probably not. I'm too paranoid!


Would you ever get a fake tan?

[motherhubbard]

I donate to three

would you bungee jump

never, never, never! That's crazy!

would you?

[motherhubbard]

Probably not. I'm too paranoid!


Would you ever get a fake tan?

OH, I was too late.

No on the fake tan.

Would you take a magazine from the dr.'s office?

[sprinks]

No. I was tempted once... This magazine I wanted so badly... so very very badly... but I was a good girl and hunted in every shop in 2 cities to find it :)


Would you fly to the other side of the world just to get a book you really want, if it was the only way to get it?

[Zee.]

Yes, yes and Yes.


Would you ....
bungee jump? ( lame one i know )

[papayahed]

yes. in a minute.


Would you drive three hours to get a haircut from someone you knew does good hair rather then drive 5 minutes and take a chance on a new hairdresser?

[Remarkable]

Yes,I actually do that all the time.

Would you learn a foreign language just because you're too obsessed with reading a book in original?

[papayahed]

probably.


Would you ride in a space shuttle or submarine?

[weltanschauung]

nope. claustrophobic.

would you throw stones at the village idiot?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Depends on what he did to become the village idiot...


Would you tell an artist if you found his/her work personally offensive?

[Joreads]

Yes I would


Would you sleep with a celeb just so you could say that you did?

[aBIGsheep]

I would sleep with a celeb to sleep with a celeb. Derr derr derrr

Would you sell your soul to ensure the success of your first born?

[Joreads]

Yes and a lot less.

Would you murder someone for money?

[Chava]

No, I don't think i'll ever be that desperate for money

Would you ride the storm?

[jon1jt]

Yes, I'm a rider on the storm. ;)

Would you run down your street at 3 o'clock in the morning wearing just your underwear? :p

[Chava]

Haha, yeah, if it weren't for the cold. :)

Would you ever call in sick to work, even if it weren't true?

[jon1jt]

Oh heck yeah done that many times. Oh I love my bed what can I say. :p

Would you tell your best friend's boyfriend that the CD she gave him for his birthday she stole from you? :p

[Thespian1975]

NO. Never interfere in relationships

Would you cheat at Solitaire?

[Silas Thorne]

Of course I would. What does it matter?


Would you enter the kumite against John Claude van Damme?

[mono]

Never. I stand 5'6'' and weigh roughly 120 lbs.; in other words, I would not survive 30 seconds. I have a few funny stories, however, of how I have gotten out of fights, avoiding them altogether, even when 'all seemed lost,' so to speak. :D

Along the same lines, would you 'fight' or 'flight' in a serious altercation, let us say, if someone attempted to rob you on the street?

[kilted exile]

It may depend on who was trying to rob me & what I had at that point in time.
There would be no running definitely (if someone with a knife wants my loose change, they can have it - but I dont do turning tail & running) If it was some dumb kid I would probably smack him in the head. If it is someone without a weapon I would use the skills I learned growing up in glasgow to prevent any problems (I can make myself seem like a very scary guy when I want/have to)



Same q

[weltanschauung]

sure, jean claude van damme is a mongoloid.

would you hate ugly before knowing beauty?

[mono]

Good question. I suppose one must have intense feelings towards ugliness before having intense feelings towards beauty, but that does not necessarily say I would have to hate ugliness in order to have a great passion for beauty. In terms of beautiful or ugly people, no, I do not even like to dislike people, let alone hate them; in terms of beauty/ugliness of objects . . . hmmm . . . sure, but my hate does not necessarily have to mean I wish its destruction - the sweet does not come without the sour.

Same question.

[GX4146]

i hate ugly people

do you hate ugly people?

[mono]

No, I do not hate ugly people. Who else can I stand next to in order to look handsome? :lol:

A question on my mind while listening to The Beatles: would you sacrifice Paul McCartney if it meant John Lennon could return alive and well? What about Ringo Starr for George Harrison?

[Chava]

Hmm, yes, maybe, i don't know. Bottomline of it: I'm hippy enough to love John Lennon, but who letting him live might eventually have let him change the image and icon he became. What if Lennon became a fat, grumpy old man, who sat in his back yard, waving his pipe at kids as he tells them to cut their hair?

*edit* it's a would you question....

Would you recognise your own dogmatism?

[mono]

Hmm, yes, maybe, i don't know. Bottomline of it: I'm hippy enough to love John Lennon, but who letting him live might eventually have let him change the image and icon he became. What if Lennon became a fat, grumpy old man, who sat in his back yard, waving his pipe at kids as he tells them to cut their hair?
:lol: Touche!


Who is mother of the minotaur?
I think Daedalus . . . Daedulus . . . Daedulas (sp?) created it. Whoever mothered that thing, regardless, I wonder if the minotaur has one of those faces that 'only a mother can love,' as they say. :D

Would you sacrifice your appearance for the loss of knowledge? Let us say, would you get plastic surgery to enhance your appearance, if it resulted in extracting knowledge of one subject of knowledge of your choice? If so, how many parts of yourself would you change, thus losing that number of subjects of knowledge?

[weltanschauung]

i hate ugly people

do you hate ugly people?


obviously youre not a golfer..
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t110/cvfleming/lebowski.jpg

[mono]

*edit* it's a would you question....

Would you recognise your own dogmatism?
Okay, I suppose I should answer the 'would you' question.
I could doubtfully recognize my own dogmatism; I could pick it out in a crowd of beliefs, but probably could not classify it, relate it fully to others, or enroll it into other dogmas - basically it sounds a lot like the kid at elementary school who smells funny.

Would you sacrifice your appearance for the loss of knowledge? Let us say, would you get plastic surgery to enhance your appearance, if it resulted in extracting knowledge of one subject of knowledge of your choice? If so, how many parts of yourself would you change, thus losing that number of subjects of knowledge?

[Niamh]

I think my answer to that is no. I'm not willing to sacrfice any part of my knowledge!

would you do what is said in post above???

[papayahed]

erm no, eventually that plastic surgery is going to ...give out, sag, bag, droop, what have you.

If there were a steroids-like drug that increased brain power and learning capacity but had the same effects as steroids would you take it?

[kilted exile]

Nope - for the same reason I dont take steroids to enhance my physical abilities

Same Q

[Niamh]

no. I'd never choose to take steroids regardless.

If someone offered you a car for free, but from the looks of it you know its was road kill, would you take it?

[Chava]

I can't drive, I rely on my trusty steed, my bicycle. So no.

Would you go nearly five days without a shower if the hot water was out and the water tempereture, being like the outside temperature was only -10 C?

[Pensive]

Obviously, no problem. I can easily go for a week or two or three without shower. (bacteria and dirt are my best friends :p)

Same question!

[sprinks]

Haha yep I could and would do that :p.

Would you travel to another country just to escape weather you don't like?

[Chava]

Oh sure, but not just to escape weather I don't like.

Would you travel to countries with worse weather than where you are now?

[sprinks]

I probably would, just to explore them.


Would you control the weather if you were given the chance?

[Niamh]

Damn straight it would!!!

If someone asked you as a bet to eat and intire cheesecake would you?

[sprinks]

I'd do it even if it wasn't a bet :lol:.

Would you bet me to eat said cheesecake? :p

[LostPrincess13]

eat an 'entire' cheesecake? why not?:D

would you sacrifice one person to save a hundred others?

[Chava]

Would you sacrifice your appearance for the loss of knowledge? Let us say, would you get plastic surgery to enhance your appearance, if it resulted in extracting knowledge of one subject of knowledge of your choice? If so, how many parts of yourself would you change, thus losing that number of subjects of knowledge?

At the end of the day, I don't think any amount of surgery could fix the self esteem problems that lead people under the knife...


would you sacrifice one person to save a hundred others?

I don't think I'd be able to make a rational decision, and at the end of the day, 101 people would probably die.

Would you consider that a negative character trait?

[sprinks]

Not exactly. There's nothing incredibly bad or wrong about it.


Would you consider the unwillingness of someone else to sacrifice that one person to save 100 others to be a selfish thing?

[LostPrincess13]

no.;)

would you please elaborate on your answer to my question?

[LostPrincess13]

Not exactly. There's nothing incredibly bad or wrong about it.


Would you consider the unwillingness of someone else to sacrifice that one person to save 100 others to be a selfish thing?

again, no.;)

would you tell me a bedtime story?:D

[.closed.]

Certainly.

If you had an opportunity to see your own death would you do so?

[Pensive]

Yeeeeeeeeees!
It would be a lovely sight I think!

Same question!

[Amundsen]

Yes and if our fate is wrote - yes of course

would you dance with drunken monkey???

[GX4146]

im ok with that.

would you dance with a sober monkey if you were drunk?

[mono]

Doubtful.

Would you ever go to college/university and pursue a useless degree for knowledge's sake?

[Chava]

There are so many things I would like to learn, with college being free in these parts of the world ;) I would love to take a variety of things. English and litterature for one.

Would ever pursue lost family?

[jekan blazer]

it would depend on how much they meant to me, so maybe...


would you eat a fox for a thounsand dollars?

[GX4146]

sure. i have eaten a dog (and a cat dumpling i think in this chinese restaurant) already you know.

would you eat a dog if the world runs short of meat?

[jekan blazer]

unfortunatly for the dog, yes...
:rage:how could you eat a fox!!!!!!!

[jekan blazer]

would you eat another human?

[Chava]

I think that's fairly circumstantial. But I wouldn't hold a principle not to.

Would you join the circus?

[mono]

Even if I had some side-show talent, probably not; I have heard of some of the living conditions of carnies, circus animals, and other cirus attractions, and it did not sound the most appealing to me, though it would offer a lot for traveling!

If you had the chance, would you rather rule a developed country or develop your own country?

[Chava]

Develop my own country.

Would you love Whinnie the Pooh?

[jekan blazer]

yep


wolud you kill barney the purple dinosaur? please!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

[GX4146]

i already killed barney in dimension#12.

do they still sell those hats with those bushy fox tails? i think they're cute.

[mono]

I have seen them in a few stores, but rarely; I wish I could remember the name of those silly things. :p

If you had to travel around a continent in some mode of transportation other than by plane, which mode of transporation would you choose?

[Chava]

Not my bicycle, but a mountain bike would be great!

Would you bring the spare set of tires?

[Redzeppelin]

Yes.

Would you trust me with your sister?

[Madhuri]

I do not have a sister :D

Would you call Obama if i gave you his number?

[LostPrincess13]

YES!!!:D

would you mess with time if you could?

[mmaria]

Yes, time-travel is my favourite fantasy.

Would you read a book for me?

[dramasnot6]

Depends on the book :)

Would you keep a secret for a stranger?

[Joreads]

Yes I am good at secrets.

Would you do someones work for them and let them take the credit

[Virgil]

Eek that's a hard one. There has to be a very good reason for that. You didn't provide one, so I'm going to say no.

Same question.

[Chava]

As my uni courses are based on delivering reports as a group, it is inevitable that some people get around without doing anything. I've helped several in that way, unintentionally. However, they get blacklisted by most people sooner or later, and now, in semester four they are not abole to find groups at all, and they will probably fail at the exams since they've never had to work on their own! HAHA, Karma's a b****.

Would you be angry if someone freeloaded like that?

[jekan blazer]

i already killed barney in dimension#12.

do they still sell those hats with those bushy fox tails? i think they're cute.
:flare: :rage: HOW COULD YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jekan blazer]

yes i would



would you kill pokemon for me?

[LadyW]

Jekan, how could you?
:bawling:
Never. Never ever.

If you had the opportunity to instantly bring about world peace, would you?

[jekan blazer]

yes..

would you believe me if i said i was kidding abou the pokemon?

[LadyW]

:p Yes... although I'm renowned for my naivety.

Would you lie to me about wanting to kill Pokemon?

[jekan blazer]

im not sure myself...


would you at least kill the teletubbies? please?

[LadyW]

No problem.
Consider it done.
:D
:thumbs_up

If I killed the Teletubbies... would you tell me what your reeeeal name is?

[jekan blazer]

sure...


if i tell you mine, will you tell me yours?


use pm!!!

[LadyW]

Sure I will (in fact, I thought you knew mine.... hmm.)
Provided yours is the truth.

Would you... help me think of more would you questions?
:lol:

[mono]

Sure.

A very dark 'would-you' question, but would you seek the death penalty for someone who murdered a loved one of yours? What if the loved one turned out as another of your loved ones?

[Chava]

No. The deathpenalty is about vindiction. He has a family too, they will survive him, and I, of all people should be able to place myself in their shoes. (My uncle was killed many yeasr ago at 19. My family made no charges.)

Would you visit someone in prison?

[lemonade93]

not unless they were family or a close friend

would you go cordless bungee jumping?

[mmaria]

Maybe yes, maybe no. Depends on what it means.

Would you tell me to go to sleep because it is almost midnight?

[aBIGsheep]

Go to bed.

Can you sing me a lullaby?

[Joreads]

No but rock we can do

Would you rat your best friend out to the police for something minor?

[papayahed]

no.


If I sang out of tune would you stand up and walk out on me?

[mono]

Never, papayahed! Then again, you ask someone with one of the worst singing voices alive! :lol:

If you could save one endangered species, what animal would you save?

[aBIGsheep]

DINOSAURS

You can learn how to fly but you have to saw off your arms. Would you do it?

[papayahed]

No, but maybe a finger or two.

If aliens showed up on earth and said we will give you everything you need for a happy life for you and your family but you have to give up either reading or music which if any would you give up?

[Virgil]

Wow, I guess I would take my chances without the aliens help. :alien: :alien: No deal. :D

Same question. ;)

[GX4146]

i'd give up reading then i'd ask them to give it back, since they said they'll give me everything.

would you pose in the nude in a dirty magazine for a million dollars?

[papayahed]

Possibly, I really see any shame in the human body.


would you rather get free airfare anywhere for 10 years or all the books you can read for 10 years(no stockpiling - read one, you get one)?

[mono]

Good question. Not to go on a tangent, or anything, but Emerson wrote of this at great length - explore the world, or explore the mind? He postulated that some people travel for the unconscious purpose of distraction from one's self, a bit Freudian, I know - coping mechanisms of the projection of unconscious desires to the outer world, but how would life seem as a shut-in recluse?
Honestly, I would choose the books, upon the condition that I could own them after reading them.

Same question.

[subterranean]

I'd choose the free airfrare. I've been reading books about places all over the world since I was a kid and my mind often went wild for wanting to visit them. So far, I've been to 20 countries and I want to see more of the world :).

Would you lie for money (assume it's a huge amount of money)?

[Chava]

I'm not a very good liar. I guilt trip mid lie and crack if I ever try, but for a good cause, I might toss a creative version of the truth. So much for my morals :rolleyes:

Would you be a Sith? because deal in absolutes, only Siths do.

[Madhuri]

It will depend on two things: type of lie and / or my need for money at that time.

same question...

[papayahed]

A sith? No.

Would you stay over night in a haunted house?

[Joreads]

Yes

Would you steal from the rich to give to the poor

[aBIGsheep]

Yes. And by the way, I'm pretty poor.

To what length would you go to see someone happy?

[mono]

To endless depths, especially for someone I love, whether intimately or Platonic (family, friends). I have, however, committed a few random acts of kindness; about a month ago, during an awful snowstorm that lasted nearly a week, a homeless couple who had gotten their sleeping bags, blankets, and extra clothes stolen, sat outside in the snow, begging for any spare change. Feeling awful for them, I took them into a nearby restaurant, bought them some take-out food, then to a hostel, and bought them a room, a few nights' worth, to stay out of the cold, until the snow was expected to melt.


Inspired by another question on the 'Ask the Person Below You' game, if a director wanted to make a film based upon your life, which actor/actress would you choose to play you?

[subterranean]

That's very lovely, Mono!

Ow, I don't really have a fav female actress, but I think Rene Zellweger would do :).

Would you audtion for American Idol?

[PoeticPassions]

No, I have no singing abilities, and wouldn't want to be that person that people make fun of and watch on you tube a thousand times...

if you had to die today, how would you go out? (in which way would you want to die)?

[subterranean]

Naturally when doing the things I do, I think.

Would you work overtime without getting paid?

[Chava]

Depends what I'd be doing. Right now I get paid overtime to go to bookreadings where I'm served wine and cheese.... Yeah, I could do that without getting paid. (But psst, Sub! Maersk has so much money he needs to pay you for overtime ;))

Would you learn another language just to read the book in it's original words?

[subterranean]

Ha ha....I wish!

Yes, I'd definetly try to learn a language just for the sake of reading books in originally written in that language. Lost in translation is a common thing in books translations!!!

If you were someone else and not your current self, would you find yourself attractive?

[jekan blazer]

yes!!!!

would you like to see someting scary?

[mono]

Sure, I see it every time I go into the 'Dave Matthews Band has the best Lyrics' thread.

How far would you go to have the best Halloween costume/dress-up/impression?

[Chava]

Been there done that, I've payed, I've sowed, I've glued body parts to myself, I love dress ups, face paints, and all that. :) *runs to find her tiger costume* Deep down, I'm just a little kid who likes to think she is all those things in her dress up box.

What costume would you choose?

[mono]

I have not dressed up for Halloween in quite some time, but I remember one costume I put together, in my high school days, took a lot of effort; I jokingly dressed up as a hermaphrodite - the whole right side of my body male, the left side female. On my right side, I wore a white buttoned-up shirt, black slacks, and a dress shoe; having cut the shirt and pants vertically in half, I sewed half of a white and pink flowered dress to the left, knee-length, thick white hose (so I would not have to shave my left leg), and white female dress shoes. At the time, having had somewhat long hair, on the right side, I let it flow freely, and a friend of mine braided the left side; additionally, she did the make-up on the left side of my face, and I grew a bit of facial hair on my right side.
It took hours! :lol:

As my costume certainly did look scary, would you ever put this much effort into a Halloween costume?

[Chava]

Mono, that's really awesome! And for answer, i absolutely would put that much effort into a costume! I'd even cut my hair 'for kicks'. I know of a little house in the centre of copenhagen, and the wonderful wacky people who live there have theme parites on a regular basis, We've turned the house into a major pirat ship, a graveyard, a ball from the colonies, you mention it, next time it's "a delayed goodbye party", for a minister who died decades ago. I love it, and always make great effort to dress up, and am currently known as "The Queen of the ball, in the house of dead children" House of dead children being the name of our little castle.

Would you stay to clean up after a party of over 50 young people?

[mono]

That sounds like quite the party! If I created some of the mess, and cared anything for the thrower of the party, I would probably help at least a little, even if the party thrower kinda-sorta asked for it. Personally, I could not fit that many people in my apartment comfortably; my former neighbors, however, who got evicted last week, could, and did it on a regular basis.

If you chose to get involved with some sort of movie, would you prefer the role of starring actor/actress, supporting actor/actress, director, or writer, and why?

[Chava]

Knowing me I'd be trying to do all parts. I'd have to go for director then, 'cause I'd be allowed to play all the parts and essentially make all the decisions.

Would you trust your intuition?

[mono]

From day-to-day decisions, I do constantly; at work, only occasionally will I trust my 'gut feeling.' I suppose it depends on the circumstances.

Same question, for lack of thinking of anything original. :D

[Chava]

I rarely do, and always regret it when I don't.

Would you throw a book in the trash?

[mono]

I have before, but only because it had gotten accidently doused and soaked with coffee - it meant little to me, regardless.

If you craved coffee, and a respected independent coffeehouse existed several blocks away, but a corporate chain coffeehouse existed one block away, which would you go to?

[Chava]

The independant. I'm a creature of habit.

Would you spend money on expensive organic food, or simply buy the normal, but cheaper products?

[mono]

Not including that boxed, junky, sodium-filled food, which I eat from time-to-time, I always buy organic.

If you could have any songwriter write a song about you, dead or alive, who would you choose, and why?

[Chava]

Good Question! Anette Koppel, Danish singer, from the band Savage Rose (Hippies :))

Same Question

[mono]

John Lennon (solo days), Lou Reed (Velvet Underground), or Bjork (just because she seems so unique!).

Remiscient of another question on another thread, if you could hang out with one musician for a night for drinks, who would you choose?

[Chava]

Oh can I change my mind from before!!! For both anyway, it would have to be Sebastian, a fabulous Danish song writer/singer, and a pretty awesome guy. Would really like to hang out with him. (I'll send you some lyrics at some point Mono!)

Would you take a job, knowing you'd spend the day in the street getting yelled at, getting things thrown at you, just because you believed in the cause?

[mono]

We have a lot of those people here in Portland (Green Peace, Children International, OSPIRG, etc.), and they really annoy the hell out of me, but I respect their passion. If I did, I would really have to believe in the cause, perhaps something on book censorship, medical ethics, or something along those lines.

If you had acting or singing talent (not saying that you do not;)), would you want to act/sing in a movie, a stageplay, a musical, or an opera?

[Chava]

If I had the Talent, I would love to live it, I have a few friends who are actors/singers, and their company is always awesome, and the wrecked, poor, desperate lifestyles, though immediatly unappealing, is loaded with a nostalgic romantic feel.

Would you dare to gamble everything on a single talent?

[mono]

If I did not have my full-time job as a critical care nurse, I have no doubt I would exist as the classic starving-artist type. I do not think I would - that sounds like a lot to gamble, and I would not call myself a risk-taker.

What planet would you visit, if you had the chance?

[Chava]

Saturn

Would you consider yourself lucky?

[mono]

I suppose I have a very internal locus of control, and believe little in luck, but I feel the dice has rolled for me more than against me, for sure.

Would you consider your extroverted or introverted?

[Chava]

Extroverted, but oddly often seeking solitude.

Would you ever get a tatoo?

[mono]

I have thought about it, having had a number of piercings in the past (that have slowly disappeared over the years), but cannot decide on something so much more permanent than a piercing.

If you got a tattoo, would you have it somewhere easy to cover with clothing, or more out in the open?

[Chava]

Easy to cover. I plan to do a lot of travelling and work in cultures that have really negative associations with tatoos.

Same question.

[mono]

A place easy to cover, for sure. One of the very few places I have thought of lies on the exterior aspect of both lower legs.

If you could eliminate one part of this forum, which section would you choose? :lol:

[Chava]

Sigh, the religion thread, it seems to spawn too much anger ;)

Same question (hah! :D)

[mono]

Probably the area I visit the least, the poetry and general writing sections - most seem to appear as the teenager he/she-dumped-me-and-now-I-have-nothing-and-feel-suicidal-will-someone-help-me-even-though-I-will-refuse-help-and-deny-everything.

Would you, Chava, consider yourself a fast typist? :lol:

[Chava]

I am a fast typist, yes indeed, with lots of little errors that fl in where I least expect it. Years of online computer gaming will teach you to type fast...

Would you?

[mono]

Apparently not fast enough to keep up with you, while we hijacked 3 threads. :lol::lol:

Would you consider yourself the leader or the follower in the group of your friends?

[papayahed]

Probably the leader.

Same question.

[mono]

It depends on the circumstances, but usually a follower - my best friend does a fantastic job at arranging things, making reservations for get-togethers, making sure everyone has a fun time. I can play the leader from time to time, but my shyness tends to get in the way. :p

Would you ever do someone else's homework for him/her, knowing that the subject seems entirely irrelevant and unneeded for the person's area of study?

[Joreads]

No I hate doing my own homework.

Would you lie to protect someone?

[Chava]

Yes, but I'm not a good liar.

Would you put a swing in your tree?

[Tournesol]

Yes, of course! In fact, I used to have a tyre swing on our guava tree out back!!!


Would you have a tiger as a pet?

[Chava]

No, poor thing!

Would you buy a red umbrella?

[mono]

Nope, I do not own an umbrellas. As the second rainiest metropolitan city in the U.S., we say that only tourists own umbrellas. :D
Yet, if I did own an umbrella, sure, I could get a red one. ;)

Oddly enough, I have seen these, but would you own a square umbrella?

[Chava]

No, it seems unpractical. Besides I already own three umbrellas, and always forget to bring them.

What, would you be frightened of?

[mono]

Water - a deathly fear, likely from having almost drowned once upon a time. :eek::eek2:

Same question.

[Chava]

I'm not scared of anything. I lie. The one thing I have recurring nightmares about is being in a situation where I loose the ability to communicate. Where there is no mutual language, and no similar body language. Scares the living daylights out of me. Blame the Syrian military and their machine guns ;)

Would you consider yourself rational?

[mono]

Most of the time, yes. I tend to keep a lot of my thoughts to myself, but consider myself radically opinionated. When I feel very passionate about something, I can get a bit extreme and Utopian, but I always have open ears for others.

Would you consider yourself more of an analytical thinker or holistic thinker?

[Joreads]

analytical all the way.

Do yiou feel that you are the best person you could be

[Virgil]

No I do not. There is definitely room for improvement.

What a fabulous question. Let's keep it for the next person.

[Dori]

Heck no. Far from it.

Same q. :p

[Joreads]

No I have a long way to go.

Would you help someone that you did not know because it was the right thing to do?

[Shurtugal]

most probably... but it might also depend on what it is.

would you leave someone you really, really love if you knew it was the right thing?

[Joreads]

Yes I would

Would you move to the otherside of the world for the one you loved?

[Chava]

In a heartbeat

Would you believe me if i said the pharmaceutical industry is corrupt to the core?

[mono]

Even as a medical professional in Western medicine, I have seen and heard of some strange things in the pharmaceutical industry . . . :p

If you received an expensive gift that you hated from a loved one, would you make up an excuse and have him/her return/exchange it, or would you go behind his/her back and do it yourself?

[papayahed]

I'd go behing they're back and exchange it.

Same Question.

[mono]

Same answer, and I have unfortunately had to do that in the past. I felt awful! :eek2:

Would you consider yourself patient?

[Chava]

No, but Im getting better

Would you dare to dream up impossibilities, and then work to complete them?

[mono]

As a relentless dreamer, I already have - some worked, some failed, and some in the making . . . ;)

If you chose to donate to some agency, would you donate money to the environment or poor families?

[Chava]

But I already do both and more..? If I were to cut down as I already have due to financial restraints, it would probably be on the environment side.. (I can't help it, I'm a people person, and I could rationalise a multitude of reasons for why helping people will help the environment)

Would you describe people in terms of good or bad?

[mono]

I consider myself an optimist, but first impressions definitely mean a lot to me. Sure, I can seem a bit judgmental at times, and it can get quite difficult to sway my opinion of someone, for better or worse.

Have you ever taken the Meiers-Briggs test? If so, what results did you get?

[Chava]

Usually it is ENFP:

Extravert, iNtuitive, Feeler, Perceiver
ENFPs represent between 6 and 8% of the U.S. population

Curious, energetic, adaptable, and creative, ENFPs like considering unconventional approaches. They enjoy batting around ideas and finding creative solutions and are energized and intrigued by new possibilities and anything out of the ordinary. ENFPs tend to be talkative, enthusiastic, playful, and generally fun-loving people. Warm and caring, ENFPs have strong personal values upon which they base most decisions. Conversations with ENFPs can be very circular as they excitedly move from one topic to the next, making connections and associations. Unconventional and occasionally irreverent, they pride themselves on their uniqueness and originality. Optimistic, and spontaneous, ENFPs have a strong sense of the possible. For them, life is an exciting drama. Because they are so interested in possibilities, ENFPs see significance in all things and prefer to keep lots of options open.


Same question

[mono]

Wow, I have never met another ENFP! :D Technically, I am an xNFP, on the cusp between extraverted and introverted. Unbelievable!

Thinking of psychology, would you ever take an IQ test?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope. I think they're a joke, but if I took one I'd end up taking it waayy to seriously, in a bad way.

If you had to give up everything in your life- family, education, career, the things you love- who would you give it all to?

[Chava]

Let me get this straight, I should give away my place in life to someone else? I really don't know, I can't picture it, and I'm not sure who would be content to have my life.

Would you start something new, like a sport, or playing an instrument, at a late stage in your life?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Uhhh...Yeah, sure! I always wanted to try Rugby out at the age of 81.:lol:

Would you like an ice cream cone filled with delicious worms and crickets top with lovely peppers and a creamy juicy big beetle?

[mono]

Not especially.

Would you consider yourself superstitious?

[Chava]

Not at all

Would you spend a day, with a birds eye view of everything?

[mono]

Sure, but I would probably have an awful sense of balance and depth perception; I would think it interesting, however, to have an equal, simultaneous sight of clouds in the distance as well as my own hands.

Would you ever spend a day in tunnel-vision?

[PoeticPassions]

Well I wouldn't be too keen on it... I suppose if there was good reason for it I would... like to save someone or something :) or for an experiment...

Would you just pick up your things and move to a far away country, without any particular plans?

[mono]

I doubt I would ever have such bravery, especially that I have so many belongings. I have, however, always admired the Keruoac lifestyle, and would love to live it at least once in my lifetime.

As a vegetarian, I had this dilemma recently: would you ever cook something for someone a dish you would never eat?

[jekan blazer]

yes... to be kind for others is best in my opinion...


would you travel somewhere far away, just to meet a fellow lit netter?


my answer is yes.

[Joreads]

Yes I would there are quite a few I would do that for,

Would you leave everyone you know if you thought it was better for them that you did?

[Chava]

.. no, but I can't really picture the situation..

Would you call the kettle black?

[mono]

I state the obvious on a regular basis, but no, I have a stainless steel, chrome-colored kettle.

Would you choose water over wine?

[Chava]

Probably

Would you doodle in class?

[papayahed]

uhhh yeah.


If you were on the beach would you order a daquiri or margarita?

[Chava]

Daquiri

Would you be afraid of meteors?

[AimusSage]

Start at home and can always go out later.

Would you look and smile at the devil? He is known for his charm...

[Chava]

I see no devils..?

Would you attribute things to foreign forces to escape responsibility?

[mono]

:lol::lol:
I certainly have in the past, but not necessarily in the recent past.

Would you prefer the full-time student life, or the full-time job life?

[Chava]

Hmm, the full time student life in some ways seems nicer. Everything is easy once you make the economy of it work out, and you have no responsibility except to yourself. Full time job seems so grown up. Howver, i suspect there will be a natural transition, when I decide I'm bored of the student life.

Would you claim there is such a thing as 'bad' weather?

[mono]

Perhaps not so much 'bad' weather, but undesirable weather, yes. Coming from an extraordinarily rainy part of the U.S., I do not mind 'bad' weather too much, and an overcast day seems the norm.

Would you ever cheat in a college/university course in a required class totally unrelated to your area of study?

[Chava]

Well, i don't think I'd have to, like the class or not I figure I might as well make an effort, and then take the fall as it came. I'm not good at cheating, i blush and make it obvious.

Would you take an education for career or for interest?

[mono]

I would attempt to make a balance between the two, as I have done, but would sooner pursue something for interest, and assume whatever occupation comes with the territory.

Same question.

[Chava]

Same answer; you summed it up fairly well.

Would you build a kite with me? ;)

[mono]

As soon as you meet me in Paris. ;)

If you met Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen, which name would you address her as, or for anyone with a pen name?

[Chava]

Real name. More familiar.

Would you ever go somewhere without running water?

[mono]

I would have a lot of difficulty, and would probably not remain there long, but I could do it for a week at most.

Would you ever donate blood?

[Chava]

Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't having lived in a Malaria prone country make you unable to do so? I've been meaning to donate blood forever, but the office is not open on Fridays, the only day I've been able to go for a while. Maybe I'll find a new office.

[mono]

Having a not-rare-but-not-common type of blood (B-positive), I try to donate every so often, and the phlebotomists have a blast with these gardenhose-sized veins in my arms. We have no significant shortage of blood products from what I have seen, yet I would like to keep it that way.

If you could go on any television gameshow, which would you choose?

[*Classic*Charm*]

The Price is Right, hands down, but only if Bob Barker was hosting

If you could be yourself as a character in a tv show, what show would it be?

[NikolaiI]

Legend of the Seeker... *laff* :D there are... SO many things wrong with that show (in relation to the books) yet it would be my choice.

Would you be able to handle a crisis well?

[Chava]

Yes. I have handled several potential disasters. I am also learning to sometimes let others handle things...

Would you faint at the sight of blood?

[PoeticPassions]

No, haven't done so yet. Though I hate needles or any kind of shots/IVs/drawing blood, etc.


Would you trade places with me for a week?

[Chava]

Not really, sorry don't know what your place is, but I really like mine!

Would you grow wings?

[Anarchy Device]

yes i would if it was possible :) would make traveling easy...

Would you become a baby again if you could keep all your memories and your life would go the same again?

[Joreads]

No way

Would you change bodies with some one else

[NikolaiI]

No it sounds irrevocable.

Would you read a book on a dare?

[zanna]

Hum, I think it would depend on what I already knew about the book. If it was one I really thought I couldn't stand, then I wouldn't, but if I had never heard of it before, I probably would.

Would you try stand-up comedy?

[Chava]

No... I'm not a funny person.

Would you respect your elders?

[Joreads]

Yes

Would you sing on stage in front of strangers

[Chava]

No no, I don't sing very well.

Would you make an effort to become good at singing?

[mono]

This seems related to another question that singing requires a talent of standing on stage without sweating bullets and shaking uncontrollably, both of which I do not have. I have a high respect for people who can sing well, and it seems a rare talent, but my voice sounds about as dull as Ben Stein.

Even if it cost you your fame, would you admit your faults?

[Chava]

Absolutely, my faults are all a part of me.

Would you?

[mono]

I partially asked this question out of remiscience of Michael Phelps, and that whole ridiculous situation. If famous, and asked of my faults, I would admit every one to give the ideal example of honesty, but I would also remark at how absurd the question to ask something entirely unrelated to my fame, unless, of course, I received fame for my blunt honesty.

Would you consider yourself competitive?

[Chava]

Extremely competitive, but getting better at choosing my competitions.

Would you consider yourself a bad winner or bad loser?

[NikolaiI]

Only if I'm very, very tired.

Would you think up a new question for me, feeling lazy as I am?

[Babyguile]

Extremely competitive, but getting better at choosing my competitions.

Would you consider yourself a bad winner or bad loser?

Never really thought about what makes a bad winner. I can be a good looser as long as I understand that I lost because I was either bettered plain and simple or I know that I didn't do as well as I can on that particular occasion and will kick *** next time.

Do you consider yourself a winner or a loser?

[Joreads]

A winner life is what you make it,

Would you change your career mid stream just because you wanted to?
