I will not feel guilty about anything, if I know I will never get caught ;)
Next person:
If you were in a relationship, where you felt that the other person is still carrying the baggage of previous relationship, and this is doing some harm or will cause more harm to the current relation. No matter what he/she says and no matter what you do, there is still this feeling that something is wrong somewhere. What would you do?
I will talk about it rationally and transparently...i will tell her how i feel about the relationship ...i guess it will solve the problem if she honestly speaks her heart to me!!!
Why do Men exist? Why do Women exist?
---Godard
The world would be a dull place with no one to enjoy it! :)
Why do YOU exist?
That's a damned good question and one that I've been asking myself repeatedly this past weekend. Existing has its attractions, of course, but sometimes, so does not existing, and wrestling with the two turns out to be difficult.
Same Q
Because my mom and dad loved each other very much and sometimes, when a mom and a dad love each other very much...well...you know the rest. ;)
Do you like your name?
I like my first name (Sara) but I don't know what my parents were thinking when they chose my middle name.
Do you prefer trendy or classic first names (or just completely off-the-wall, original-no-one-else-in-the-world-could-possibly-have-this-name-too names)
There's two questions there, isn't there? I'll answer them both...No, I'm not particularly fond of my name, which is Lisa, because everyone and their dog was named Lisa for about a 5-7 year period there in the late 60's/early 70's. And even worse, my middle name is Marie so yes, I'm Lisa Marie. :sick: Not named after Elvis's daughter because my parents were never big Elvis fans and I actually came first but that doesn't stop people from assuming. :rolleyes: My parents were going to name me Sina after my great grandmother but decided it was too odd but I really think I would've preferred that...which brings me to the other part of the question, I like biblical names for boys for some reason and really feminine, old fashion names for girls. I don't like off the wall names or classic names that are creatively spelled, I really don't like that.
And to continue the theme of names, would you name your child after a celebrity and if so, who?
If one should want to name their child after a celebrity, perhaps the chosen name should be "Celebra" for a girl or "Celeb" for a boy. Meanwhile, I firmly believe that names should mean something. They should be a beacon of character for the child to live up to or have relevance to the spiritual inner person that the parents discern in their child or be a permanent marker to remind the parents or teach the child about some special event or circumstance surrounding the birth or conception of the child. If the parents want a more or less traditional name, like "Wayne" or "Robert" or "Cheryl" or "Katherine", then they should research such names and choose one that has some particular meaning of significance to them. For example, I named my firstborn Heather Lee, because "Heather" is a beautiful, but untamed and strong, flower; "Lee" is a sheltered meadow or glade, where Heather often grows, and the two names together sound phonetically like "Heavenly". I found this meaningful and, it turns out, so has Heather.
But, I haven't really answered the question, so I will pass it on to the next person.
Actually I don't like naming the child after a celebrity, that seems kind of stupid to me, but I would name the child by a book character or by any author, for example I love the name Dante, and hope to name my child like that one day... :)
Same Q.
I would never name my child after a celeb because if they are in a scandal, my child would be hearing about it their entire life. Besides, I would like to come up with my own unique name (but not weird like Apple).
Would you change the name of someone you already know, but whose name you don't like?
Uh, I change the names of people I LIKE a lot. People find themselves nicknamed by me quite often. Sometimes the nickname sticks like glue. I call Madhuri "Maddie", for example. My own list of nicknames is very long. "Pen" is a nice short useful one! ;) People I don't like the names of, hey, I didn't name them. So I'll call them what they are comfortable with or nickname them. Most don't mind. :nod:
Do you know what your name means?
Yes. It means 'sweetness' -- Madhuri
Madhu -- Honey; Madhur -- sweet; Madhuri -- sweetness.
I think i'll pass this Q, as I dont know the meaning of most of the names.
Same Q.
My name is a combination of either rose of the sea (in Spanish) or rose of Mary.
Same Q.
My middle name means Strife and Unrest. I dig that.
What did you have/are you having for lunch today?
I am supposed to be having leftover Chicken Korma for lunch, but after what just happened here at the office, I'm not hungry anymore, so lunch will probably be water.
What is your favorite type of cuisine?
I've always loved spagetti o's. There just something about dinner in a can.
Balance this equation please:
Na2OH + O2 ==> NaO2 + H2O
Na2OH + 2(O2) ==> 2(NaO2) + H2O
perhaps.
What is the most unintentionally mean break-up line known to man?
It's not me, it's you.
What is the most intentionally mean break-up line known to man?
Not quite -- the hydrogen doesn't balance out. I think (NaO2) is a typo -- I've never seen such a compound.
"I think we should see other people." It implies another person exists, and confirms that "it's not me, it's you."
Same question, in case someone has another opinion.
NaO2 is sodium superoxide, Robin. But your right that the Hydrogens don't balance out. Here is the balanced reaction:
4(Na2OH) + 7(O2) ==> 8(NaO2) + 2(H2O)
Same question as Robin asked.
I have it on good authority that the most cruel break-up line is, "I've decided to go back to my ex" :O
Next poster: Should pate be banned from restaurant menus?
Yes. Pate should be served on a plate, with crackers, not on a menu. However, an exception could be made in Restaurants that specialize in goose meat or that also offer Poi as a substitute.
OK, I'm being superficial, so... same Q.
Well, I would hardly be the person to ask as I hate the stuff! :sick:
How far do you go in pretending you like something so as not to offend your host when invited to a meal?
Unfortunately, not as far as to actually it eat it. I am extremely picky with what I eat.
How would you stand for an annoying coworker that takes you as their personal confidant soon after meeting you?
I had a coworker like this -- she always wanted to go out to lunch and talk about everyone else. I didn't know what to think --- she seemed like kind of an idiot but then again, she was always in the boss's office. I guess, just be polite and don't tell her anything you don't want repeated lest it come back later to bite you in the #@%.
Do you read the dictionary?
Yes, yes I do. :D
Do you feel comfortable telling people "no"?
I used to try to be accommodating to everyone but as life goes on and as I deal with more and more jerks and spend greater amounts of time working in a job I hate, I have realized that life is too short to try to please people other than me.
Do you keep more than one window of LitNEt open, along with another appliication you're working in, and do you watch TV while posting in LitNet and do you alt tab to the wrong window and accidently post in the wrong forum?
Yes! I do that all the time. I'm usually listening to music, posting on teenhelp.org, several windows of lit-net, reading the Eisley journals, and doing email :P
Do you prefer instant messengers or email?
depends on what I'm using it for. Mostly IM though, it's a lot quicker and time is precious.
What's the worst thing you've ever dressed up as?
As a cowgirl when I was five. Believe me, I love cowgals, but it didn't fit me.
What is the best costume you have ever come up with?
I once dressed up as a viking with long pink hair and beard, a leather skirt. big sword and horned helmet, finished of with a 'nice' brown shirt and flipflops.
I thought it was nifty, if a bit colourful. :goof:
Same Q.
An elf. I put band aids on my ears, wore my hair like Arwen, and had on a long, floaty, pale blue dress.
What is your favorite race of Middle-Earth?
Dwarfs, or perhaps orcs. If we are talking about humanoid races, if not, I have to say I really like balrogs. :nod:
What's the best thing about school?
Something to fill the day..and of course, learning somewhat interesting things. If I went to a "real" school, the best part would be seeing friends.
Same question.
The best part about going to school is not having to go to a 9 to 5 job. Or any shift full time job in any part of the world. School is wonderful but I couldn't seem to grasp that until I couldn't go anymore. If I could choose any occupation, I would be a full-time student. But people tend to think that full-time students are lazy people.
My question to the next poster: Do you have more than one LitNet identity?
No, I rarely find enough time to have the one identity, much less more than one. Being a full time college student in her senior year is not fun at all.
How many professions have you ever wanted to be before getting to the one you are at now?
A lot, and I'm not finished studying yet, so there could be even more along the way, currently, I really want to be a mad scientist, but I choose the wrong study direction for that, so it'll just have to remain a side interest. :D
If you could destroy any one thing in the world, what would it be? and why would you do it?
Prejudice. People do much evil because of various prejudices, often in various robes of disguise, some religious, some political, some radical--beneath it all is the stench of death, dust, and decay. Lucy once said to Charlie Brown: "You were born into this world, right? You don't know of any other worlds you might go to, right? Then LIVE in it!" :)
Pass the question: If you could destroy any one thing in the world, what would it be? and why would you do it?
Pen took my answer :p , so I'll go with my second choice, I would destroy illness. Not your everyday, run of the mill illness but catastrophic illnesses like cancer and and aids.
Which technological advances do you think have benefited mankind the most?
Truthfully, advances in medical science. The understanding of where germs form, that is outside the body. That illness comes from something air-borne, injested, or whatever--not a demonic thing to be attacked. Vaccinations and preventive medicine. The understanding, such as it is (science is not at fault, people still are) of mental illnesses that has freed many from what would have be hell on earth in the past.
That's my vote.
Pass the question, one of the best I've seen. Thanks, Idril! :) Which technological advances do you think have benefited mankind the most?
