Favourite drink?

[MystyrMystyry]

'Danger Will Robinson!'

and

'Dr Smith! Why don't we just leave him here!'
'Because he's a human being...'

Too many favorite drinks - easier to mention the ones I don't like

Uninteresting wine.
Sweet beer.
Southern Comfort (first baddest experience - even the smell...)
Grapefruit juice
Milk Emulsion and Codliver Oil (why did they do that to me - why!)
The metallic water after a toothfilling

One thing I'd really like to try again though, perhaps you remember, Salvital?

Favorite Foreign Dish?

[Maryd.]

...'Dr Smith! Why don't we just leave him here!'...

Don West's favourite line... Hahaha



One thing I'd really like to try again though, perhaps you remember, Salvital?

Sorry don't remember it.


Favorite Foreign Dish?
Lasagna... But it's not really foreign to me, as my background is Italian. Hee hee

Favourite time in your life?

[MystyrMystyry]

Salvital was a fizzy drink lemiony drink - you stir in a teaspoon of powder and when you drank it the bubbles tickled as they went up your nose. Some kids loved that - I was one, and it's linked to the best time in my life.

I had such great fearless moments of exhilaratingly insane happiness in my early childhood- before everything fell apart and everyone went serious.

Anyway this period's pretty good - very few problems, nobody in my life I don't want (and certainly not in swarming plague proportions like they used to)

Lasagna, Yum!

But I think tonight's promising Moussaka (so at least for the next twentyfour hours...)

(I just remembered another horror - Tresca - it was the Coke company's first entry in the no sugar drinks market - before TAB. And my lazy fat perpetually dieting mother 'Excercise! Why should I excercise!' filled the fridge with the crud. Honestly, it tasted like flyspray and she wouldn't buy normal cordial because all the money had already gone on it.)

Favorite romantic comedy?

[Maryd.]

Hahaha... I avoid the romantic comedies. But I do like comedies in general.

Same?

[MystyrMystyry]

'll watch virtuallyanything provided it's a new story, not a remake (though I enjoyed the latest King Kong), and it's not competing with something better, and also if I'm in the mood for 'just watching'

But I agree most modern romcom's are a bit weak - I do like old screwball ones, and the quick-witted Kate Hepburn's too

One thing I'll never watch is the cricket, not under any circumstances, not if you paid me, not under threat of going to prison nor torture (it's it's own torture) and I strongly believe it should have been buried a century ago and consigned to 'embarassing aspects of human history'

Favorite seaons of the year? In order please

[Maryd.]

Spring, because I am into colour, fragrance and freshness. Autumn for it's splendour and leaves, Winter for the chill... Love the chill. Don't take well to Summer as it is too hot and we get temperatures of 35 degrees and over... One can always put a jumper on if cold, but one cannot take too much off in the heat, without first, getting arrested. Hahaha.

Same question. I like this one. :)

[faithosaurus]

Fall, because of the pretty leaves and fun half-way clothes (between summer and winter) and trench coats. Summer because I get to go boating. Spring because it's when all the pretty flowers grow and there's lots of rain (I love rain). Then winter, because I hate the snow (and driving in it).

Favorite food?

[Maryd.]

Lasagna and Pavlova.

Favourite plant?

[MystyrMystyry]

Edible: Orange tree. Aesthetically: Oak (plural actually, singular makes me sad).

Actually edible includes peaches, yummy plums, apricots, pears, bananas, nuts and berries, and all those vegetables! And onion and Garlic!

Aesthetically - all of them, though poison ivy can be a bit hard to take, triffids scare me out of my skin, and I hope some mad scientist doesn't develop a man eater with big teeth!

What a question!

Favorite guilty pleasue?

Butterfly Boucher...at the moment

Favorite medieval weapon

[iamnobody]

The Halberd

Yours?

[Triter]

Man Catcher

Favorite jello flavor

[Maryd.]

Port wine.

(And no, it doesn't tast like wine. Like a stronger strawberry)

Faovourite year in your life?

[MystyrMystyry]

Will my least unfavorite year do? 1996/7 July to July

Favorite confecionary not chocolate?

[Maryd.]

Sherbit... But don't tell anyone... I'm dieting. Hee hee hee

Favourite alcoholic beverage?

[MystyrMystyry]

Varies from day to day, week to week - at this present second I've got a hankering for an astringent two teaspoon International Roast with a dash of Inexpensive Scotch Whisky - dangerous but ye-uummm!

Later I might have a nip of Kilkenny Cream (like Bailey's but different, sometimes better, sometimes not) or Creme de Cacao with a scoop of cream


And you? What is your favorite alcoholic beverage, Ma'am?

[Maryd.]

Sweet red wine... But will dable with Baileys... Love it straight.
Hmmm...

Favourite dessert?

[MystyrMystyry]

Dessert can be my favorite, yes. I have spent entire weeks devouring nothing but dessert:

Chocolate mud cake with whipped cream and
Vanilla icecream with scrapings of Old Jamaica and
Golden and maple syrup drenched crepes with lashings of whipped butter and
After dinner mints dipped in whipped honey and
Triple chocolate muffins in a bowl of baked Strawberry Alaska and
Rum pudding (not too light on the rum) with chocolate icecream topping and
A bowl of Cadbury triple choc icecream with crumbled Kingstons and-

You feeling alright? You look a bit green...

Favorite melody?

[MystyrMystyry]

Should I edit that last one out?

Favorite melody?

Ironically Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers. Not sure if that is classified as a melody but it is my favourite song this year. :)

Favourite thing to do?

[MystyrMystyry]

Not a bad choice.

Favorite thing to do? Alone or in company - you might be surprised to find they're related //wink

Give in?

Poetry and poetry clubs. Armed with a bit of liquor for a tough nights' reading and listening to other people's things can be as much or more fun than reading out of a book or off a computer screen (I rarely criticise their works though unless something particular jars with me and I believe it could be greatly improved just by altering the order of some words - most of it's great just as it is, your poor lonely poets, you)

Favorite time of day?

[Maryd.]

3am... When nobody is awake. The cats, dogs, birds and most of the people I know are asleep. The still of the night, enchants me. ♥

Same question please... I like that one.

[MystyrMystyry]

I do like the late night/early morning sessions - when my body clock's so in tune

Tackers've moved in next door, school holidays and there's a basketball hoop attachd to the galvanised iron shed - every five seconds there's a bang of the shed and every ten there's a kabang against the steel fence right outside my window

Screaming, shouting, kicking the fence - I've tried everything, but they can dish out AC/DC decibels

When everything's gone wrong internally though (more tired than I'm perpared to admit, hungrier than I realise, forget it, I need my sleep

Sometimes I just feel a little tired, go for a nap and wake sixteen hours later! At the wrong time of day - 'Where amI ? Where've I been? What's been happening, and it can take two hours to find my bearings...

Day time can be a drag because most of my old friends grew up before me and have all moved to the farthest corners of the Earth, but when a few good old close once drop by it be the highlight of the month


Favorite place to shop?

[MystyrMystyry]

(One of my least favorites is making too many posts on different threads and no-one's responded - you look down the list of recent posts b-r-r-r-r-r and they seem to be all me)

[Maryd.]

(and me...)

I like to shop locally, it's cheaper and I like to keep the money in the community. Helps keep my friend's children in jobs. :)

Favourite meal?

[MystyrMystyry]

Too many to list - though you may've guessed by now, though I've been trying to shake you - I'm a qualified cordon bleu chef.

Tonight's favorite will be a Supermarket Lasagna - because I bought it before the chicken packs (never go shopping on a rumbling tummy!) and the picture on the packet looks appealing, even though my spidey sense is tingling, telling me there's likely to be more nutritional value and higher hygenic standards in the cardboard packaging

Maybe I'll eat that as well - with whipped cream and honey

Favorite forum regular - and you have to be honest. But if it's me, the next one down please...

[Maryd.]

Currently it seems to be you, as you are the only one replying. I however have a few friends that pm me and stay in touch. :)

Same?

[MystyrMystyry]

I have to be honest and say this time of evening and your responsive self are definitely growing on me - though it does take a lot of time between posts -time that realisticly I normally have reserved for sideprojects

This is a fairly holidayish activity for someone who is quite unfamiliar with the concept and practice (Go Go Gomez, me), and who'll probably be spending Christmas Day alone again (boo hoo)

But I'm new, see, and you've been around for a while, and in that time you would have made quite a number of attachments

I want to come across as cool, aloof, outdoorsy, detached, worldly, subtle, spare, like The Comedian or hillwalker or Silas Thorne or stlukesguild say - but being me it doesn't work - not to mention no Avatar nor pithy sayings etc (and no blog, which is perhaps why a lot of my posts are like mini-blogs - maybe we should all be grateful for that)


So yeah, you seem pretty cool, Mary skating across the kitchen floor in your little cotton socks


Favorite character in Outrageous Fortune?

[Maryd.]

Well sir, it seems you are quite perceptive... Cotton socks, hey... Answer from another thread. Well done.

I have to say, I don't really know the show or movie. So I can't say.

Favourite song?

[MystyrMystyry]

You don't know what you're missing - simply one of the most scintillating hysterical, brillant programmes ever to air in any country. Its from New Zealand and is perfecty tuned to my off-beat sense of comedy, and seems to be operating on a whole number of different levels

Sometimes you wonder if a scene is meant to be funny - the timing is that good - you know it is, but not as funny as it actually is

You'd have to see it to understand, and I'm sort of sorry that you haven't been watching. Like knockabout family interactions meet High Art on occasion - 'How did the writers come up with that!' you find youself gasping as often as laughing into your pillow (so as not to wake the neighbours)

But if I go on I might raise your expectations too high - sometimes it's just plain dumb it needs be said, and for long stretches you can wonder why you've ever bothered to turn it on, but when it works - knockout stuff


Favorite song's hard - it has more to do with nostalgia for me these days. Sometimes something comes over the airwaves and sends me hurtling back through time to a distant great day I've all but forgotten and almost brought to tears.

Favorite radio show?

[Maryd.]

Oddly enough, I don't care too much for the radio either. I am either writing or have my headphones on, using an mp3 player to listen to music I have uploaded. I am a tad weird. Sorry to disappoint you.

Favourite animal?

[MystyrMystyry]

You mean downloaded - maybe I should email you some of mine?

Have you noticed how many views Favorites/Would You? have been getting? I'm starting to feel a little paranoid...

I like a bit of white noise (music, yabber) in the background when I'm relaxing in a particular mood, at least because I spend a lot of time in headphones composing and seriously listening, and by radio show I guess I meant triple JJJ with it's experimental/modern recent, versus MMM with it's modern classic versus Fresh FM with its dance grooves versus Public FM with it's alternative oldies, but if you don't listen you don't listen

Have you tried podcasts and talking books?

Too many animals - some for their coolness value, some for their interesting value, some for their detached dignity, but if I had to pick one - probably me...

[Maryd.]

No and no... I am quite the oddball to say the least. I am fussy with my music. But I can go from listening to something modern to something classical, to something weird, or rock. I like the music from Gold fm... But I can't stand the chatter. So I just play my own songs. :)

Favourite period/time/era in your life?

[MystyrMystyry]

I've sort of answered that, but on a good day the good days outnumber the bad, on a bad day, the opposite.

When you're depressed you don't know it. You don't look any different to anyone else, but if they say you look depressed, well that can really depress you because you may merely be thinking about something higher, and who is this idiot? Disrupting my solitary magnificence with their nonsense.

My answer to that is to be doing something with my hands - there's five million nerve-endings in each one that connect directly up the arm into the brain - just fixing a bicycle can seem to physically change the global weather. One second overcast gloomy to warm sunny slight breeze.

Don't tell the poets this - happy poets are unbearable :)


Favorite person you'd like to meet from anywhere anytime?

[Beautifull]

I'd like to meet the perfect person for me, in a few weeks ....if I had the choice

Favorite type of cookie?

[MystyrMystyry]

To single out a favorite is difficult - chocolate (and chip), cornflake, fudge, marzipan, but whichever it is at the moment it needs to fill one essential requirement - it has to be BIG!


Favorite popsong (the words and tune, artist irrelevent)

[Beautifull]

No particular favorite...there's too many to have a specific one I like.

Favorite candle scent?

[MystyrMystyry]

Actually I belatedly realised what a difficult question the 'popsong' was - for a while I thought it wasn't receiving an answer because it was personal

(Note to self: ask me the question before posting)


Raw candle scent for my tastes. I've a deep suspicion of added chemicals to otherwise enjoyable sensations (What's really in soap - itchy powder?)

A few years previous it was possible to procure from craft fairs candles manufactured from rolled honeycomb that exuded a subtle hint of burnt honey - that was pleasant, if expensive - but made from real wax, not tallow


Favorite type of computer programme?

[Beautifull]

I guess that would be Microsoft Word? Because I use it all the time?

Favorite type of legwear?(leggings, jeans, etc.)

[MystyrMystyry]

Up until a few years ago I only ever felt comfortable in blue denim jeans, and one day I came upon a pair of track dacks (for being slack - they were like pyjamas you could wear all day, and no-one dare criticise me)

But for going out, I still prefer jeans, and actually I don't think I'd want to have an accident (they happen) in public wearing anything else. I may one day regret this if say my leg got caught in a churning machine and ruined my favorite pair

Favorite pair?

Favorites!

Favorite science fiction/fantasy/supernatural television series and movie (sequence if applicable)

[Beautifull]

Ummmm...Well, for the movie...definitely Avatar with the blue people. For the series....kinda hard, considering I'm not big on watching regular TV...hmmmm.....It'd probably be something from way back, like Xena or Beastmaster.

Favorite hot drink?

[faithosaurus]

Coffee.

Favorite website?

[MystyrMystyry]

That was fast, beautiful Bella. I like coffee and milk (or perhaps I'm just a bit dependent on it) but I used to go for those packet powdered chemical soups for a while - a nice savory flavour (just don't think to much about what all those numbers might mean) but I went off them for some reason (not very good at maths? Who wants to consume numbers?)

Favorite way to relax/unwind?

[Beautifull]

Hm. I don't know, actually. I have many. Deviantart.com, romanceluvers.com, online-literature.com/forums, mangapark.com, animea.net, dramacrazy.net, animecrazy.com, etc...lol. :p

Favorite foreign entertainment?

[MystyrMystyry]

This website, natch!

[MystyrMystyry]

Foreign movies - especially surprisingly good ones from countries not known for it's cinema. Got quite a kick out of Iranian cinema for a while, then there's some gems from South America that crop up here and there, and then there's some wacky thing from Bulgaria or somewhere that you start watching just because, and after a while find yourself unable to tear yourself away...


Favorite compliment ever received?

[MystyrMystyry]

Actually beautiful faithosaurus, I stumbled upon one once that I failed to bookmark which would have been up there - soft immersive music was coming through the headphones, and everywhere you put the mouse the screen metamorphosed into something else - amazing. Wish I could find it again...

[faithosaurus]

Someone once told me I look like a more beautiful version of Anne Hathaway, haha.

Favorite game?

[Beautifull]

Hide and seek. :p I know, it's for kids, but it's still interesting now. :D

Favorite/most interesting subject to you?

[faithosaurus]

Science all the way. And math.

Uhmmm..favorite hair color?

[MystyrMystyry]

Well speaking as a man with an eye for beauty I don't see even a hint of a resemblance - and you are far more beautiful than most whom publicly receive that compliment. ('Oh Angelina Jolie - she's so beautiful.' 'What? Put your glasses on - and cop an eyeful of faithosaurus!') :)

(Sorry - can't access all the smileies to know if there's a more appropriate one like winking)

[MystyrMystyry]

Odd question. I like 'em all. I like (natural) golden blonde, bright metallic red, weird electric blue, raven black, deep auburn, all of them, but not in any particular order


Favorite electrical appliance?

[faithosaurus]

Oh goodness haha, I guess I should change my favorite to yours, no?

Cellphone or computer..


Favorite color clothing-wise?

[MystyrMystyry]

Depends - whar colour are you wearing right now?

I'd like to wear shiny silver spacesuit or bearskins or full panoply of medieval armour (if only society would understand)


Favorite time of your life?

[faithosaurus]

Oh man, this is hard...Probably when I went on a trip with my best friend..it was super fun, but we won't get into too much detail since it would take forever to type.

And it seems like a reasonable outfit...yeah..

Favorite hobby?

[MystyrMystyry]

At the moment it would appear to be communicating with faithosaurus (she would be so easy to fall in love with - in fact I think I already have - better keep it secret though - hang on, did I just say that aloud?)

But seriously, I've got a few that ebb and wax in favour, sometimes seeming to be more work that fun, and sometimes the opprosite (yes! Opprosite!) (so tired of correcting my spelling...)

At the moment though, my first answer before the brackets - I like to help people who aren't feeling the best, who like to help people who aren't feeling the best...

Favorite flavour of soda (or pop, or carbonated acidic sweet thing - you know what I mean)

[faithosaurus]

You would love volunteering at the Hospice :)

Hmm..I'm on much for pop (can't you tell I'm from Michigan? Haha) But probably orange.

Favorite time of day?

[MystyrMystyry]

Wow - we're even on the exact same wavelength! Your question is my original last one before I backspaced it out recalling it had been posted too recently (Honestly! And it's not a criticism - this is a long thread and I write longish replies so I wouldn't expect anyone to research back into my jokes - unless they either really need a laugh or just want to go to sleep //wink)

My answer was if I'm awake (and not pushing it) the early hours with the midnight oil burning peacefully - it still stands


Favorite extended family member (second cousin, distant aunt etc)*


*I know it's not the best question - just make something up, possibly a bogus backstory to the reason...

[faithosaurus]

Hmm...really distant? Well, I adore my Uncle Jerry, whom is my uncle's sister's husband. Funny man, I tell you. I think he has ADHD; he always has to hit you when he's talking to you.

Favorite painter?

[MystyrMystyry]

Singular? I like them all, Great and Modern, but see if I can open your eyes to someone you may have not heard of (eyes to hear? what!): Caravaggio - fascinating life story, brilliant draftsman in paint (no preliminary sketches nor even on the canvas - painted purely the way he felt it should be painted - he's the yardstick of genius in my opinion, and died so tragicly


Happier note: Favorite Birthday Card (I suspect you've saved them all in one of your boxes?)

[faithosaurus]

I have not saved one...there was one birthday card that had writing in it from two friends..I shall not say what was in it, but it had me laughing for quite a while.

Favorite type of laptop/computer?

[MystyrMystyry]

Brand?

I'd go with Apple as a brand because I like and respect Steve Jobs as one cool dude, though I've never owned anything Apple

And Bill Gates is (to me) still the face of Microsoft - so well, hmmm...

I know there's other OSes out there, but that's not for me.

I have bought two Sony mp3 players though - the latest has a bass boost function which really opens up the sound field and listening experience - the reason I bought it over any and all others


Your preferred mp3 player?

[faithosaurus]

I'm only a fan of the iPod, I must say.

Favorite comedy?

[MystyrMystyry]

Seinfeld was pretty funny at times.

(I like the way you disappeared to search for an intriguing question somewhere, leading me to ask: )

Favorite place to hide?

[faithosaurus]

Actually, I was watching "How I Met Your Mother", haha. I was going to come sooner, but I'm super achey and stuff so i didn't want to move.

Uhm..probably my "batcave" (which is what everyone calls my room..it's kind of like it's own little apartment. I love my solitude).

Favorite place to eat?

[MystyrMystyry]

Alison Hanigan, mmmm... good choice- I mean what! Place to eat did you say!?

Favorite singular of takeaways - there's an excellent chooknook (New Zealandish for chicken shop) nearby, but there's a lot of (overchoice actually) superb pizzarias around here for some reason (only one is extremely excellent, the others are truly beyond great)

But then restaurants, which are like the Holy Grail of YUM, comfort and my ideal second home (I've thought of opening one just so I could live the vibe all day all night long - but something always comes up)


Favorite classical music?


(p.s. I knew you were watching television too - I could just sense the comedy)

[faithosaurus]

I absolutely love "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven. Lovely piece.

Favorite present this Christmas?

[NikolaiI]

Didn't give or get any presents this year.

Favourite place to read a book?

[MystyrMystyry]

Funnily, it'd have to go to this television I just received (Good thing I didn't include 'watching less television' as a New Years Rez)

I haven't had time to plug it in yet, maybe sometime next month - it's only a TV

Hey! Michigan! Home to Laverne and Shirley who worked in a pop factory! Just got it! (or am I wrong?)


Favorite style of clothing of all time?

[faithosaurus]

I had no idea they were from Michigan..

As for Nikolai (since it wasn't answered), I would say the coffee house.

Favorite style of clothing? Uhmm...hmm..

Well, I love the French look. I often will wear jeans, boots, a nice sweater and a scarf.

Favorite saying?

[Beautifull]

"Live Laugh Love. Time is limited." Never fails to cheer me up

You?

[MystyrMystyry]

The favoritest of all that rolls easiest off the tongue is a little number by Shakespeare, but I'd rather not commit it to this because tomorrow it shall doubtless be totally different

But also 'This book this book this book...' (best to keep you distance when I'm engrossed in a classic)

My favorite daytime place to read is beneath my big leafy walnut tree, even if walnuts occasionally hit me on the head (haven't you been reading my blog? You should). Night time it's bed


Favorite constellation?


(p.s. I just understood the pc question)

[faithosaurus]

Big Dipper. It's the only one I can find.

Favorite summer 2010 movie?

[Beautifull]

Ummm...ah, uh. Okay, I'll tell the truth, don't know many. What about the Big Dipper? is that one?

Whoops, I'm late

2010 movie has to be harry potter

Favorite thing about christmas?

[NikolaiI]

oh... well, does Avatar qualify?

(to Beautifull - yes it qualifies, as does Orion's Belt.)

My favorite thing about Christmas are the four candles of Advent and the Christmas candle, I suppose.

Favorite scene from a movie?

[Beautifull]

Um....ah...too many. But I think I liked the one in avatar, when they fought against machines with nature.

yours?

[NikolaiI]

oh, that question's too hard! :p um...

one of them is from Children of Dune, when Stilgar... well, actually just about any scene with him in it.

Favorite book?

[Beautifull]

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

You?

[MystyrMystyry]

Right now it's Kleinzeit by Russel Hoban (not really, but because I'm reading it again and it's pretty good, I'll say it is for sake of brevity)

Favorite season for its night timeness

[faithosaurus]

Summer.

Favorite cover song?

[Beautifull]

Never Say Never

Favorite type of dog?

[faithosaurus]

I love pitbulls. They're adorable when they're little.

Favorite flower?

[Beautifull]

Sweet Pea. :p

Favorite author?

[faithosaurus]

Anne Rice or Albert Camus...can't decide.

Favorite clothing brand?

[MystyrMystyry]

I don't know which company makes them, but the hoodie is near the top of the list - it's got to be the ultimate fashion garment for 15-19 year old boys who not-so-secretly really want to be 7 year old girls

And it doesn't matter if their favorite rapper wears one either - popstars are a bunch of ****heads


Favorite place to visit that you haven't visited yet

[faithosaurus]

Paris! I have some friends that live there and I really want to go see them..

Favorite phone app?

[MystyrMystyry]

Pretty much any dumb game, the reason for which is that even the dumbest game tends to be more interesting than the noongs who have somehow acquired my number


Favorite type of coffee?

[faithosaurus]

Oh goodness, there's too many. I enjoy hazelnut quite a bit. Oh! I love chai tea lattes.

Favorite type of sleepwear?

[MystyrMystyry]

Hard tanned leather - the very same hard tanned leather I was born in, perhaps loosely concealing my modesty with a pair of silk boxers

You?

[faithosaurus]

Well, my favorite pair is this pretty silk nightgown because it makes me feel pretty, but right now it's a tank top and some Banana Republic pajama pants.

Favorite genre of music?

[MystyrMystyry]

Depends on mood. Sometimes experimental electronic soundscapes. Othertimes deep ambient, or interestingly evolving rhythmic Steve Roach stuff. Sometimes Jazz (all of it, even trad), sometimes Blues, sometimes Clever Pop, or Heaviest of Metal

Obviously classical, but composers' personal stamps tend to be a genre unto themselves, and so which period, which symphony, which opera etc etc

Easier to say that my blood runs cold when I hear doof doof sounds emanating from doofus cars, boring disco from any era, witless repetitive anything from every era...


You?

[faithosaurus]

Also depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm in the mood for classical music, sometimes I get into the mood for down-tone music (Norah Jones, Anna Nalick, etc.), and times for alternative (Paramore, Train, Goo Goo Dolls), and when I'm all hyped up I'm with the hit music (you know, Katie Perry, Eminem, Rihanna, all that jazz).

Favorite pizza topping?

[MystyrMystyry]

Hard to think of one I don't like, assuming they're all fresh healthy ingredients.

Okay - too much anchovy can be overwhelming to the detriment of the rest of the Supreme Artistry


Favorite Perennial Tree?

[faithosaurus]

Apple trees because I love apples!

Favorite beverage of any sort?

[iamnobody]

Coffee

yours?

[faithosaurus]

I'd have to agree with the coffee..though if I were to choose something else, it would be flavored water.

Favorite pattern on clothing?

[iamnobody]

fractals

favorite piece of clothing

[MystyrMystyry]

Reptile skin - not real reptile, real reptile I detest with every fibre as my knowledge that the Earth does not belong to humans, that we share it with billions of others species who were all bottlenecked during the last ice age

We were all brothers in survival, but we tend to treat everything as our enemy even if we understand to just keep clear

I'm not saying all of us - just reminded of some idiot I saw on TV who happily thought he was really clever because Canandian baby fur seals were so easy to kill and there were so many people willing to club them to death for peanuts, and he could sell their fur to rich stupid Russians and live rich among similarly stupid men (and dirt poor amongst everything normal)


(Also I discovered this icecream: Magnum coffee with Arabica beans, which is now my favorite coffee flavour - and, as it happens, icecream flavour)

Favorite single day holiday?

[Beautifull]

Independence Day

Favorite thing to study?

[Triter]

Reactivities

Favorite reaction?

[Beautifull]

A genuinely happy surprise.

Favorite thing to listen to?

[MystyrMystyry]

Hey beautifull - I just realised that you started this thread!

Favorite for just listening? Any ambient or classical music (anything without words)


Favorite fairground ride?

[faithosaurus]

Any high rollercoaster! I haven't been on one in years thanks to epilepsy, but it would so be worth it to go on one.

Favorite foreign food?

[MystyrMystyry]

Italian - for the sheer full range of possibilities

That is, were I to have to choose only one to live on for the rest of my life, I'd have to say Italian


Favorite blog?

[faithosaurus]

Oh jeeze, I have no idea. There's this one blog I follow from blogspot, and it's pretty much the only one I follow.

Favorite career choice?

[MystyrMystyry]

Fortunately I don't have to choose only one, and I can eat German sausages and English fish'n'chips and Thai soup and-


Favorite career choice, hmmm, the choices I've made have been easy, which is what I'd recommend to anyone looking for a golden path to lifelong happiness - I like being a musician (mostly) and an artist (mostly) and a writer (mostly) and when the individuall tracks get too rough I can just change the one I'm on for one I'm actually in the mood for


Clever, huh? Wish I was


Favorite place for eating outdoors?

[faithosaurus]

If I was going to eat outdoors, I love going to a garden. For a restaurant, there's this really nice restaurant in Chicago where they have a fancy area to eat outside.

Favorite kind of club?

[MystyrMystyry]

Something quiet, relaxed, full of self-aware interesting conversationalists that don't need to harass and harangue and shout incomprehensibly and try to be the best dancer the world's ever seen (which is ridiculous) and whose confidence comes from alcohol and speed, and if you do talk to them they have nothing to say because they have no minds

(I don't know how some people have no minds - but there should be a rule: no mind, no head)


Favorite fantasy country?

[faithosaurus]

I must say I have no idea how to respond to that one.

Favorite movie trailer?

[MystyrMystyry]

For fantasy country I meant Narnia, Middle-Earth, Wonderland etc


A movie trailer takes the best bits out of a movie and gives it to you in a one-to-five minute burst so that after you've seen the movie you think to yourself 'I could have saved myself two hours I won't be getting back by just watching the trailer and not seeing the movie. So why did I watch the movie? Because the trailer made me want to'

Therefore, from an advertising point of view all trailers must be good, but from a personal perspective I'd like to do a short movie that is just the trailer for a movie - though it's probably already been done

But a trailer from a movie I enjoyed I don't mind seeing a few times again after the movie

(I wrote a short story once which was an introduction to a novel that goes too far and condenses the novel down to a short story told in a chopped up fashion - and then I found out it had already been done)


Favorite type of cheese?

[faithosaurus]

Hmmm..I like cheddar. Does brie count?

Favorite 'hotspot' for a vacation?

Favorite number?

[MystyrMystyry]

0.00793

(Love that one!)

And all the odd numbers up to 17, but I really like 9 if I was honest, it's the coolest, and I like it's multiples too


Favorite science branch?

[faithosaurus]

Anatomy and Physiology, and Chemistry. Best things ever.


You?

[MystyrMystyry]

Those and the rest of them, Biology, Zoology, what have ya...


Favorite thing to have with orange juice (I like mango and banana but I could live without the banana)

[Beautifull]

If you mean inside orange juice, I would probably go with mango. If you meant with a cup of orange juice, then I would say some pancakes and bacon. A nice and filling breakfast. :D

You?

[faithosaurus]

For inside orange juice, I like pineapple :)
For outside, probably just some toast.

Favorite language?

[Beautifull]

I'm becoming more and more fascinated with the Japanese and Korean languages. If I had to pick one, it would be Japanese though.

You?

[faithosaurus]

I enjoy French. It just sounds so pretty, and when my friend speaks it it's just wonderful..It's his native language so it sounds even better.

Favorite book published before 1960?

Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

If I could turn back time"
