Yes! Music plays a huge part in my life.
What kind of music do you like?
My musical tastes are eclectic, but I will list a few of my absolute loves: I love the sound of someone playing the piano, from the sound of a simple practice session, to the grand recordings I have of Masters playing Chopin and the like.... awesome!
For cd's that I mindlessly listen to for whatever reason, hmmm ... well I do love Leonard Cohen intensely (for poetry and music), but I also love Nirvana, and the sultry sounds of kd lang (she uses all lowercase).
Thats all I shall say for now, for fear of becoming boring. :yawnb:
Question for the next poster -- when is your favorite time of day to sit down and write write write?
Late at night...some of the best things I have done have been in the very early hours of the morning. (like 3 and 4am)
Same Question to the next poster.
either early in the morning or late or night...whenever my soul starts hollaring for expression and overflows and can get no peace until i find pen and paper...
great question continue on....when is your favorite time of day to sit down and write write write?
My favorite time of day to write is in the early morning, after I have walked the dog. I usually let my mind wander aimlessly, and of course, I carry a small notepad/pen (YA GOTTA!!). Then, once at home, I can usually feel the muse.
[beware, it doesn't always go that way....we all get the nefarious "Writer's Block"]
And so, I ask the next person, what is YOUR favorite time of day to sit down and write write write?
In the evening right in between the point of seeing the sunset and complete darkness. You know when the sky is blood-stained red with a few other colors and the star right behind them.
I would like to ask this next reader, are there any strange rituals when you write?
Ex: I prop my feet up and turn on a song that fits my mood (sad day-depressing song)
Yup. First, it has to be dark outside. Then, I go into my room, shut the door (I don't have a doorknob, so sometimes my cat comes in), close the curtains, take my shoes off and sit crosslegged on my bed.
What do you write about?
Everything... I have started a lot of things: Stories, Plays, Memoirs...though most are just to help me to relax at the end of the day..
What is one thing you have never done??? (that you really want to do)
I want to visit Ireland. Or move someplace other than the place I live now.Quote:

Do you want to visit England?
Yes I do want to visit England.
What's the last concert you went to?
Old Crow Medicine Show and that was a long time ago.
I would love to see them again.
Who, out of all the dead, disassembled bands would you like to see in concert (grateful dead, phish, led zeppelin, sublime, whoever else you like.....) but you can't because not all the original people are present?(either dead or just crazy...i.e. Axl Rose)
The first group that popped into mind is Run DMC. All the other groups I can think of are those 70's drawn out guitar sole type of groups and I dislike that so I doubt I would like the concrt anyways.
Same Question.
The Doors....without a shadow of a doubt....Jim Morrison was just a poet at heart.
You are granted a 1 hour interview with any person (living or dead) that you choose. Who & Why?
I would interview Kurt Cobain. And why? Because he had a very neat personality, though destructive -- he'd be fun to talk to.
Question for next poster -- what is your favorite era? (Victorian Age, The Roaring 20's, Dirty 30's, etc.)
30's. Why the dirty, though? Maybe I just know about the conservative stuff, hm. :lol: Jean Marlowe is the lady on your avatar, right? She's from the 30s too, I think?
Same question. and why.
favorite era....back to the 60s...loved all the 'flowers in your hair' mentality and the belll bottoms, beads, headbands...
repeat bib's...You are granted a 1 hour interview with any person (living or dead) that you choose. Who & Why?
Margaret Thatcher, without getting into politics will just say she's got some 'splaining to do.
What event in your life (memory, news story, experience etc) made you realise that the world can be an evil, terrible place?
I don't remember how old I was (grade school) but we found a dead puppy under the big cheese in the park near my house.
Same question:
What event in your life (memory, news story, experience etc) made you realise that the world can be an evil, terrible place?
I believe the "dirty 30's" may refer to many things (hmmm something worth writing about??), but for one: the desperation of the people trying to get by after the Stock Market Crash of 1929.... Also, many southern states were 'dust bowls'... and there could be more to it (Prohibition ended 1933, lol), etc.Quote:

Now, to answer papayahed's question... I realized the world was an ugly place when two mean teenage girls laughed and pointed at me when I was very very small (grade one or two) because I had such short hair (damn my mother's taste in hair). And I recalled being so crushed out that I wanted to shrink into nothingless.
I got over it thankfully (lol), and now pose a question -- Where will you be in five years from now?
hopefully at a four year college- maybe SCAD.
Same question and why do you think so?
I also plan to be in the middle of college. Hopfully a pharmaseudical program at Duqusene(spelling?) University, because other than writing dreams I want to be a rich pharmacist.
What is the best book and the worst book you ever read, and why?
Best book...ooooh that's a hard one...I really like The Westing Game beacuse it was really fun and surprising but House by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti is up on my list (its really scary and even though I'm not a fan of most scary books it was really written well.) My least favorite book is probably so far The Crucible....or maybe The Gift of Magic (really predictable and sappy)
Have you read any really great books lately, if so what are they?
Perhaps an island... - Michael HoullebequeQuote:

Which is the song the most touches your soul? Post the lyrics.
"Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

question for the next postee'
what is the worst thing you have ever done in walmart/how many times have you gotten kicked out for it and who were you with.
The worst thing I have ever done in Wal-Mart has to be either thinking ill thoughts of the person on the mart cart taking up the whole aisle, or the Wal Mart rage I get when shopping there only to find the shelves empty and the massive crowds incredibly annoying.
I've never been kicked out of Wal-Mart though.

Yes. I would have spent more time with my dad during his last months.

My last thought would be a silent gratitude to all my loved ones for putting up with me all these years. :)
