What do you love about automn?
The change in air and color.
We don't have autumn here :(
What is your favorite season?
Spring, when the weather gets better and the people usually get nicer too. :D
I also like summer, but only if it isn't so extreme in temperature, Winter is nice too, Autumn is extremely rainy and windy and sucks because of it. Spring is the best season.
What do you do when you have the type people with their fake smiles and groveling offering their assistance in a store?
I draw a fake like smile telling them thanks for their help but I can do without it.
Same Q
As long as they do not continue following me, I usually just say 'no, thank you,' but ask questions if I have them. If they have such fake smiles, and perhaps do not enjoy their jobs, I would think that my presence bothers them about as much as their presence can sometimes irritate me.
To the person below me: who gave you some of the best advice you have encountered, and what did he/she say?
I once met this psychologist, and she gave me some great advice, but I can't tell you now, because it has sunken into my subconsious and has now become a part of my personallity. It's strange, but I couldn't tell you what it is even if I tried, It's just something I do. Like when put in potentially stressful situations, I handle things completely differently from the way I did before. At first I had to do it consiously, but it has since become a part of me.
Same Q. I like.
My dad. He has taught me more than I could ever remember, and I knwo he'll continue to do so.
What is your relationship with your parents like?
Really good, I feel that I can talk to them about most things. And that's just as well, because I still live at home.
At what age were you happiest?
I think 13 was the best year I ever had, but 14 was fun too...it felt interesting...
Same ques.
Before 1994, it's hard to pin down the exact age. Probably early in my twenties when the wife and I were young and before we had children and so much responsibilities. ;) 1994 brought a devestating change to us all will the illness that sidelined me.
Next person.
Probably at age 19 or 20 - the ages when I approached many changes in life, moved away from home, and everything went either really well or horribly, which subsequently made me stronger and wiser (or so I would like to think :D).
To the person below me: on the other side of the question, at what age did you feel the unhappiest?
It is actually a phase and not a particular age. It was when I was doing my postgraduation, but I can alsoe say that the experiences I had then have made me a different person, I used to take things lightly before, but cant do so now, which becomes stressful at times.
Same ques.
I'm not sure. I am very content with how my life has been. There was a time when I was about 9 or so that I hated where I lived and everyone there...that was certainly not good. I'm having a pretty hard year right now, but God's been very good to me in many ways as well.
When you were younger was there an age you always wished you were?
Not really. but now that I'm older, and soon will have to start walking with a cain at a speed of 1 mile an hour, I wish I was a little younger, oh I don't know, about 22.
What do you see when you look out the window? Please be as descriptive as possible.
I see a pretty mud wall, with a black grating above it, geometrically decorated. Over it there is a wide, open space of sand and dust, with busy construction at the edges and a beautiful, large, new, mosk to the far right.
Same question please, I like it.
Well, there are bars on the outside, and there seems to be a few other inmates in the courtyard playing a game of chess. The guards sit at another table eating donuts and...
Okay, just kidding, I actually see a street, with a few houses on the other side, with nice gardens, filled with nice plants, a few cars are parked in the street. There's also a big green Ginkgo biloba (It's a tree, the only reason I know it's called that is because the name is so strange) right in front of my window.
I'd say same question, but that would be silly, so instead I'll ask you to go out the front door and describe what you see.
When I open the door I see a marble porch (nothing special here, it's what they use on EVERYTHING) and a patch of scraggly grass on the right. There is a tall tree, which, when you follow it all the way up, brushes the window of my room. Accross the street are villas exactly like ours, connected on one side to another villa and on the other to the next door garden. The flag of Sweden hangs in a flower pot beside the door directly accross, and other plants sit in the shade under the car ports. A motorscooter leans against the wall to the house. A single tree with lovely white flowers on it rests on a low wall accross the street.The street is paved with pale bricks and there are black and white curbs.
What room is the best view in your house from and what is the view?
My soon to be new room, for I intend to annex the territory formerly in the possesion of my sister, has the best view. From this room, there is an unobstructed view into the area, and it is possible to see several kilometers into the polder, with the dike of the river at the end, unfortunately, last year several large windmill turbines were placed in the landscape, and their purpose is to pollute the view. It's a completely unreliable form of energy, wreaks havoc on the natural environment they are placed in and the only reason wind mill turbines are used so extensively is because groups like greenpeace don't look far ahead and like to think they are all very important, and that was probably getting too political so I'll just shut up and say I like the view, despite the stupid things.
Did you ever get lost in the woods?
A lot of times. When I was living in Russia, I was gathering mushrooms regularly, and to gather a lot I often went pretty far. But usually I was able to find the way back reasonably soon.
What animals have you met in the woods?
Deer, rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks.Once, in Washington state by Mt. Rainier, a chipmunk scurried up and sat a few inches from my foot, peering up at me!
What is your favorite wild animal?
Wild dogs of course!
Did you smell the roses today?
I would, for I love roses and always "take the time to smell them," but there are none around me. I shall find some sort of wallflower to breathe.
Do you gather your rosebuds while you may?
I just missed one; maybe, two. I have been complacent and careless. I have been young and confused for too long. Now I'm in the twilight of my protracted adolescence. I hate my dreadful conscience. I’m gonna bury it now. Once and for all!
Same Q.
Certainly. If you do not, the day will come when you will forget what a rosebud looks like!
How close have you been to an actual wild animal outside of a zoo or protected reserve?
Yes, thrice. I have been face to face with a black bear in the wild and wooly suburbs of Denver. It had come down from the mountains, presumably in search of food. I was watched alertly by, and moved slowly and quietly away from, a cougar on a hike behind the campus of Pacific Union College in Angwin, California. Although not quite an urbanized local, it was still quite domesticated and humanized terrain and meeting the big cat was quite a shock. And, I've sat quietly on the shoulder of a road, near a golf course watching for nearly twenty minutes a red fox hunting in the rough of the course.
Have you ever felt one-in-spirit with a wild animal? If so, what was that experience like?
I felt one with my steak. It was very nice, it was made from a deer, so you can say I felt one with the animal, even if it was posthumously.
Same Question, I feel a little bad for butchering it. :D
Wildlife facinates me. I have had totally wild animals actually eat out of my hand. I have stood as a rattlesnake came from right under my foot and not moved a muscel, not from fear but from respect, I was in the snake's domain and the snake had the right to defend it. Respect them and they respect you. The rattlesnakes here in my mountains are deadly, but only if you bother them. If you leave them be, they can be facinating to watch, and they are really beautiful. Do I feel one with them? It is in my blood, for my grandmother was half-Cherokee, but not really. Just a sense of respect. Never kill what you don't eat (I abhor sport hunters!), and take only what you know you will use. Waste of the animal's life for nothing is not the Native American way. I have given up hunting myself, nature and I are too close.
To anyone who has never tried so-called "wild meat", (if you are not a vegetatian, whom I deeply respect,) what is it about venison (deer meat) that you think is so different from beef?
Before my vegetarian days, as a child, I tried venison once, and it tasted quite different from any other meat - much more tender, a strangely natural spice, very low in fat (and subsequently not as greasy), but that seems all I can recall (so many years ago!).
To the person below me: not knowing of its ingredients or consistency, have you ever eaten anything, and later regretted it?
Yes! I once had broth that a sheep's head had been boiled in. My parents had to eat the actual head though...
Same question...
Hm, well, nothing too serious. As I'm a vegetarian myself, I'm used to asking the cook concerning the ingredients of anything where I can't distinguish myself. At my graduation party, however, I carelessly ate some pieces of cake that were lying around and they were filled with some glitter-glibber-wobble-I-don't-know-what-stuff :sick:
To the person below me:
What is your favourite colour when it comes to clothes ?
PS: Nice avy, Vintage :nod:
At my size, it's mainly what fits! :lol: Black or kaki pants and red or black shirts.
Same question.
Blue, white and some sober shades of red. But, never liked black.
Same Q.
Hmm, I'd have to say blue, black, or white. Red is fun too.
Thank you! It's from Eisley's new music video, Memories.Quote:

Same Question! (A very good question, Boris!)
"What the 7734 are YOU doing?"
And, since that is my favorite question (at the moment), please consider it the next question in this thread!
Typing an answer to your question, what else could I be doing, and considering your question asked what the hell I'm doing, I will say that all I'm doing is answering your question, untill I deem it to be sufficiently answered, which is now.
What is the one thing you can't leave home with?
A head covering. Or, more generally, clothes.
Same question!
My iPod, not ever.
What is your most prized possesion? (not in terms of physical value)
Freedom.
I value my freedom a lot because I've alawys been a nonconformist whch in turn is because I've alawys been surrounded by stupid people telling me what is right and wrong. I had to work my butt off to earn my freedom, which came through financial independence. So today I value it more than my life.
