Communication
The one big fear i have is not to be able to communicate anymore. Communication can be what stops wars, combines people... our lives are focused around it.

My imagination
I wouldn't want to live without colourful thoughts, plans, ideas, that come to my mind whenever I want them to.
Where lies the country you would emigrate to ? (planet Earth or elsewhere...)
Hm, I've already emigrated
What country would you like to visit most of all?
BONNIE SCOTLAND!!!
...same question please: what country would you like to visit most of all?
Haunted England....http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/ghost.gif
Pass the question.
Aye, Bonnie Scotland, i'tis then. And nae just Scotland, e'ir, but Inverness and the Isles round aboot, in the Highlands as it were.
Russia........
To the person below:
Which part of the year do you like the most?
The part of the year I like most is the very first day of summer. I don't like spring and autumn very much, they're of the neither-nor kind (at least in my climate), I rather like it super-hot or super-freezing. But as I can't stand the super-freezing longer than a couple of days :D, I usually rejoice the most upon the final arrival of summer.
Next question:
If you were a fruit, which one would it be ?
Many consider me a fruitcake as it is! :rolleyes: :lol: But I'd say a Winesap Apple.
If you were a vegtable, what kind would you be?
A water-chestnut: bland and difficult to chew. :D
To the person below me: same two last questions combined --

Yes, I do, even though I know it is a fruit of the plant.
What about the tomato? Is it a fruit, or an alien organism from outer space pretending to be a vegetable?
It's "the-one-absolutely-delicious-thing-pizza-wouldn't-work-without" ;)
What's your favourite yogurt ?
greek yogurt with honey and roasted almonds.
What makes your day?
When people just let me be me and don't get all uptight.
What would be your favorite book?
The one that can create a time pocket while i read it so that indulging in it wouldn't be called procrastination....
same ques.
It is so difficult to name a "favorite" anything. After all, I'm not dead yet and there are certainly more books to read! Besides, naming one is nearly impossible, from the many that could qualify.
"Favorite" for what reason, too? Most profound impact? Pivotal to my personal philosophy and value system? Greatest insight? Most difficult to set down? You see the problem, I'm sure.
Having to do with best business practices: "Corporate Insanity", "Zapp!"
Having to do with personal growth: "Loving What Is"
Deepest emotional impact: "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", "101 Minutes"
Favorite adventure: "The Three Musketeers", "The Count of Monte Cristo", "Robin Hood", "The Last of the Mohicans", "Huckleberry Finn", "I Married Adventure", "Call of the Wild"
Favorite Science Fiction: "I, Robot"
Favorite humor: "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe"
To the person below me: What is the best purchase and what is the worst purchase you've ever made?
Hmmm, difficult to answer, as I have purchased many good and many useless things I later detested.
One of the best: the accumulation of my mini-library.
One of the worst: a vehicle (that I very soon later sold for much cheaper, since it seemed far too high-maintenance).
To the person below me: again, I love asking this question now and then -- what have you learned recently that really interested you?
Yesterday, I learned that in (Ancient) Greek, there is, next to Active and Passive Voice, another genus verbi, the Medium. It allows several different ways of translation and thus interpretation, but the most beautiful and interesting one to me is the reciprocal one to be rendered into English using 'each other, one another, together with, for the advantage of,...'
Thus φιλομεν ("we love") can be a lot more intensified turning it into φιλομεθα ("we love each other, we love one another, we love each other jointly, we love for each other,..."). All that meaning in one single verb form ! I think that's amazing and now I understand how Greek poetry must be thriving on the many possibilities this language offers...
As that is a very good question, with mono's permission I'll pass it along :D:

I like the question.....same one again.
I learned some new tricks with a football. :p
I also learned that the right shoes make a lot of difference in football.
Sorry about it not being really profound or anything, but I think these things are true revelations for any football player. :D
Same Question, yes, it is good, and deserves another go.
What have you learned recently that really interested you?
I have learned that "That which does not kill you makes you strong." is a very truthful statement. Life throws a lot of things at us, and life is not always fair. So we can lie in the wreckage and whine or choose to rise above it and make the best of things. Carpe Diem! :)
And Kelly, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is one of my favorites as well, for the same reasons you gave. I almost wore my copy out! ;)
I'll pass Mono's question: What have you learned recently that really interested you?
That Death is going to sleep
which means i died so many times allready but it seems i keep getting up...
wonder when i'll stop doing it..
(yeah i know it sound stupied and kitch but... what can we do... death seems to surrond us in very odd times... )
Same Q Please:
Time doesnt allow you to sit back and think of the past.
Next person:
After logging off from litnet, do you recall anything that happened here, as in, does any conversation that you had replay in your mind? Or is it out of sight out of mind, after log-off?
Things from lit-net definitely run through my mind...I think of it as real conversation, and get some weird looks from friends when I talk casually about my internet life!!
Same question.
I don't actually replay things in my mind that much when I log off, but I do store everything in my memory banks. It's much like any other form of communication, I remember the people and what is said, but not so much that I can't stop thinking about it.
What is your favourite song and how does it make you feel?
The Eagles have a song called There's a Hole in the World Tonight. The song was written after the events of 9/11, and to remember the people who gave their lives. When I hear the song, I think about all the trouble and anguish in the world and really wonder: What if we could put aside all differences for just a few days, stop the retoric and just listen to each other. If we could see the other as human, to know that their blood is as red as ours. And really ask ourselves: When all of this fighting and killing is over, if it ever is, will there still be a hole in the world, because we just refuse to try to get along? Or can hope still build a bridge across that hole in the world? That song has done more to change my outlook on things than many I've heard in church. It has a simple message: "If we don't take the time to love one another--we never make it to the promised land!"
Good question, Aimus. I'll pass.
Wonderwall and it makes me feel like a person missing an old friend. I guess Aimus knows what I'm talking about.
Same plz
I have two favorites, and neither are by my favorite bands. The first is For Always, sung by Josh Groban. To me it is the perfect love song, and when I listen to it I feel so happy to know that there is someone out there for me, waiting like I am. The other is Before The Throne, a hymn, which I think has some of the most beautiful and profound lyrics ever...when singing it I feel so joyful and thankful and hopeful. One with Himself I cannot die/My soul is purchased by His blood/My life is hid with Christ on high/With Christ my Savior and my God!!
Do you prefer lyrics to have explicit meaning, metaphorical meaning, or complete nonsense?
You know alot of music that I listen to I like because of the beat and not the lyrics. I don't know nor do I care about there meaning.
What room are you in right now?
completely depends on my mood, although I am usually not a big fan of explicit lyrics, prefering metaphores. Complete nonsense can be fun too. Light songs can be great with just nonsensical lyrics that just tell a fun story.
Same Q, I like.
Computer is in the family room, so everyone can use it!;)
What do you plan on eatting for lunch today?
rice and melokheeah:D
where are you going today?:lol:
The day is almost over so I will be going nowhere but to bed. Tomorrow I am going to the dentist and then to work.
Do you have any tattoos?
Yes, I have two (on my ankles).
What was your favorite toy when you were a child?
An airplane my dad made for us. It was huge, it could seat 2 people, it had a working radio and a working steering wheel that could turn you to the left, right; point you up or point you down. It was yellow and was called the Beached Banana. It was truly an amazing piece of work!
Did you have to sleep with a nightlight on when you were a kid?
I didn't have a nightlight but sometimes I would ask my mom to leave the hall light on so that I could see that light come through the cracks in the door and then I could go to sleep.
Do you have a notebook or desktop computer and are you a PC or Mac user?
I'm using a notebook (bought one because I can take it to the library and work there. Wouldn't ever want to change), not Mac, the other thing :D But I find the Mac ones look nicer.
To the next person:
What's your favourite smell ?
You might think this weird because I'm a guy, but it's Lilac. Where I grew up, on the wrong side of the tracks as we say, we had Lilac bushes in the yard. I planted one here, for memory. Love the cloying scent!
What is your favorite childhood memory? :)
My favourite childhood memory is eating white chocolate :) At that time I was hugely amazed that there was something like white chocolate existed. I only got it on special occasions, and only by my grandma, who had, and still has, the white chocolate monopol :)
What's your favourite tree ?
