The one I used to pass on my way to work - it had the perfect outine. I don't know what kind it was though.
What did you have for breakfast this morning?
Mixed Milk and Seven Up.
Same Question!
Talisker Single Malt Scotch whiskey, the only whiskey produced on the Isle of Skye just off the western Highlands. Then, after letting it tantalize my tastebuds and warm my belly, I had Shredded Wheat for lunch!
And to answer the question before this one, my favorite tree is an old, gnarled Cottonwood tree with several low branches as big as tree trunks of most normal Cottonwood trees and an overall size of maybe 130 feet diameter by 80 feet tall. This old grizzly thing must be several hundred years old if it is a day. To make it completely my favorite tree though, it stands all alone so that it forms a solitary image on the skyline. I have photographed it in different kinds of light and from different angles, trying to capture its essence. I always get the feeling from it that it possesses a soul of its own and that it is cognizant of my presence and my awe.
To the person below me: Have you ever felt the presence of "something" or "someone" when no one was around?
Definately. Weirds me out every time even though I always say it's not going to next time.

Same Q
Yes, I often feel God's presence as I'm praying or having a deeply hard time. He is so faithful and comforting!
Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?
No I don't, I'm sure there are a lot of monsters in Scotland, but Nessy is not one of them, besides, I think most of them can be found in pubs nowadays, enjoying a good scotch wisky.
Have you ever been stuck in time?
We all are at the moment, Aimus. We're stuck between Yesterday and Tomorrow! :rolleyes:
Truthfully speaking, have you ever taken drugs?
I have not, and I do not plan to.

probably the "finish-sweedish" book "Populær musik for Vitula" in english Popular music for Vitula, the four guys playing the main characters were so fabulous! and the fact that they were completely unknown was beautiful, the fact that i saw it in a fairly alternative cinema, with one show room only, and where there's about 30 seats (the two back rows of which were donated from an airoplane (:thumbs_up )) made it even better!
The one i've disliked the most.... i'm sure there's something...hmm, i guess it doesn't count, but there's a great sweedish author, Jan Guillou, who wrote a great series in which the main character (This is in sweeden in the 1200's) get's sent to war for 20 years as a christian punishment. there he joins the templars, and the court politics, meets saladin, whom he unknowingly saves, and whom later spares him, (on the last day of his punishment!) and so forth...i know it sounds mushy, but i absolutely guarantee, (my word as a bookseller) this is a highly recomendable series! AAANYway, when the movie "kingdom of heaven" came out, with the .......... bloom in the main character, i was practically offended. horrible, horrible and implausible filmatisation! And i presume my reaction has something to do with the fact that these books treated the same material in a deep thoughfull manner, making them convincing exciting and they're even well written.
what can i say... the movie should be banned, people should read the books!
phew, long rant...
Same question...:blush:
I liked all the LOTR movies even though Jackson left lots of good stuff out of it and made some changes that I didn't agree with (like that scene where Frodo goes over the cliff with Gollom and hangs on the side and Sam pulls him up and says "Don't let go" --- it reminded me of that whole Titanic thing with Jack and Rose --- but I guess he had to make certain changes to the story for the big screen).
The worst movie from a book was Queen of the Damned. That was my favorite Vampire Chronicles book but the movie was just bad.
Oops I forgot to put a Question:Quote:

Worst: The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, Romeo And Juliet (1996 version; I loved the 1968 version), The Picture Of Dorian Gray, and many, many others.
To the person below me: even in a subject you know much about, do you enjoy seeming more a teacher or student?
I most certainly prefer to be a student in any scientific topic, because I often don't have the patience to explain for the 15th time something that is obvious to me. In tpoics connected to literature and history, I'm fine with both options.
What is your favorite thing to discuss?
Weather, religion, and politics. Seriously, though...probably exchanging personal perspectives and experiences with close friends.
Same question!
Well. I usually here all day by myself. Give me a topic! And stand back! :lol:
Pass the question.
Me! of course - I could talk for hours.:lol:Quote:

At camp this past year I dyed the bottom half of my hair black....it's semi-perm but since it is darker than my natural color it's really not going to come out....I just got the semi kind to comfort the parental units ;)
Same ques. Have you ever dyed your hair? If so, what color?
Jet blackQuote:

Light ash brown
Vampire red (a deep magenta really)
Blonde
Red
Golden brown
Eggplant
Dark auburn
and now I stick with my natural color...deep, very dark brown.
Haircare stuff...hmm. How often do you get your haircut?
Once a year. My mom trims it in between.
Do you feel like dyeing your hair now?
Nope, I just got a new haircut this morning, enough money spent on haircare for this year :D
Do you feel more at ease if the hairdresser is talking all the time while you're having your hair cut, or if he/she is silent ?
I hate it when haidressers make conversation and talk while they are cutting/coloring your hair. They ask where you work and I hate answering that because my job is stupid and I don't like talking about it. It's just something I do so that I can afford to get a haircut, which is funny since the hairdresesrs themselves are the reason I hate getting a haircut/color job.
Hairdressers ask what you do for fun and I hate that question because the things I consider fun are considered lame by other people and I don't want to mention it.
Hairdressers ask me if I go out and I don't. There is nothing to do in this town except go out to eat and get drunk (which isn't a good idea in public) so I hate that question too.
They ask where you live and if you have kids and I hate that!! I just want to get a haircut so that I don't look like a stringy haired bum, which is what I look like when I don't get a haircut. I don't want to talk about my personal life at the salon. I just want a shampoo (preferably with good smelling shampoo that I can't afford) and a decent haircut. And since I have to go to work so that I can eat, drink and sleep, and since my boss and coworkers expect me to look presentable, I have to endure the beauty shop every 6 or 8 eight weeks and have some hairdresser tell me that I need an 8 oz bottle of shampoo that costs more than $20.00. And then you're supposed to tip hairdressers too? What is that? I will tip them I guess, but I feel like going to the salon is so hard on the wallet. A haircut and a tip and then they try to sell you the premium shampoo (which I will admit is heaven sometimes)!!!!
Then again, if your hairdresser is silent the entire time, you wonder if he/she is new and and doesn't know what he/she is doing. What if you wind up looking like an Easter Egg accident or like a toddler took the shears to your head while you were sleeping.
Same Q --- do you feel more at ease when the hairdresser is talking the whole time you're getting your haircut or would prefer that they didn't talk.
I have no hair, and insist on shaving my head by myself (with the requirement of having two mirrors). During the times that I had hair, however, I felt relatively indifferent whether someone spoke to me or not; in real life, in fact, I usually seem a very quiet, shy, and reserved person, normally not speaking a lot unless spoken to first. Usually, a hairdresser would strike up some kind of conversation, regardless, probably out of custom, and I would accomodate.
To the person below me: do silences with others ever make you feel awkward, especially in the middle of a conversation, or do you generally feel comfortable, depending on the other person?
Hmm... I'm fairly loquacious, and renown for putting ends to "akward" silences through force of character... should silences arise i rarely notice, because i don't notice it being awkward, it's more like a thought pause. (I'm a leo - a very social animal!)
Do you think your personality is affected by what time of the year you are born?
No, I dont think so. I believe personality/character is shaped out of the experiences and not of the star sign. I am a Leo too, and everyone says I dont exhibit any of the trademarks that a Leo is supposed to have.
Same question.
I'm very inclined to call it all "hogwash" and apologize to the hogs for saying so! I'm supposed to be a Sagittarius, but I'm born "on the cusp" between two signs and have aspects of both. Right. That makes a nice scientific explanation for my bi-polarism. It's not me, it's in the stars. Remind me of that when I have to take my next round of medicine. :rolleyes:
If you actually saw a ghost, would you believe it or think you were seeing things?
If I saw it I would have to believe it right? I would believe it.
Same Question:
If you actually saw a ghost, would you believe it or think you were seeing things?
you know there's a very hilarious refernce to such incidences, it goes along the lines of "You know you're in the IB when your dead ancestor's start to contact you, to suggest getting some sleep" (there's loads more, and they're really funny.
No, i'm a natural sceptic. I'd probably be surprised, but shrug it off.
would you ever try to make contact to a decceced relative? (Yes, i can't spell, so what?)
Nope, they're dead, and the dead must stay dead, or we will all be in a George Romero movie. :eek2:
Having said that, I don't see any reason for wanting to contact them in the first place, it's not like I haven't talked to them enough when they were still alive. Unless ofcourse, I never met them, and wouldn't know them, and thus have nothing to say to them.
See, there just isn't any sensible reason to talk to dead relatives, the only remote reason I can think of is that you are stuck in the past, and too blind to realize it's time to move on. Seeking closure? It's not gonna happen when you speak with the dead, start living! That's what I think, and if you somehow pretend to be able to speak with the dead, well good for you, because you found a way to make money by tapping into the emotions of poor gullible people that think you are some kind of gifted wacko.
Okay, that might have been a wee bit of a rant, but at least I kept it somewhat short.
Next question: What's your favourite cookie?
Monster! (of Sesame Street!)
Same q
Hm, I LOVE all the ones with chocolate, be it pieces inside, cream inside, or mantled, or even pure chocolate in cookie-form. There's no better taste than chocolate and cookies are so handy to eat, no knife, no fork needed, just full enjoyment :D
Greatest question ever, Aimus, I'll pass it on :D
What's your favourite cookie ?
Plain, homemade chocolate chip.
Do you like to bake?
Yeah, I love to ! I usually make my own bread every other day, cookies at least two times a week :D, but also lots of other tasty pastries filled with tomatos, sour-cream and so on.
Do you like to cook ?
Actually, yes. I don't see why the new modern women identity has to kick out this part of our histor/culture. mind you, the worlds greatest chefs are men so thers some irony there! BUt....I cant cook. Nothing great anyway, apple pie. cheese and potatoe pie...mmm....just very very simple and dull stuff.
oh wait, im supposed to me ask something!
who made you mad today?
That would be me, I haven't met anyone yet today, and I'm already mad as a hatter. :goof:
What is your most valued possesion you are willing to give away?
I dont have anything material that I cant give away, but I value my independence and that is something I will NEVER give away. :D
Same q
It has been said that nothing a man has is more valuable to him than his life, and I would be willing to give that for a cause I felt was just, or to save someone else. Don't give me a halo, though, it's just the way I have always felt. You cannot keep life here forever, so make it count. If that is how it would have to be, OK. :nod:
Would you try to give a motivational talk to prisoners?
