5% is huge, as anyone who has spent time with twins will know. my sister's kids are identical twins, so theoretically they have virtually identical genetic makeup, but the differences between them are staggering. if that 0.0002% difference in them is manifested in such varying ways, then 5 whole percent has the potential to leave a large gap indeed.
do you prefer unflavored or flavored coffee? like the amaretto or hazelnut stuff?
ooops...sorry Kik
and thanks by the way...
um, no i dont paint well, unless you are referring to walls? i had a really great time last year painting this house i was in as it was a "tear down" and i knew i would be the last person to live in it. i then went to the recycle depot, picked up tons of half buckets of used paint, and proceeded to mix me some new colors....it was very fun, sort of a crayola house, but it was a good experiment, because i now know much more about what works and what doesnt....
i refer you to the above coffee question.
Coffee, unflavoured. Just Black. But I like flavoured lattes. mmmmm
Now for the last time :mad: :mad: Do you paint? Do you paint well?
Yes I paint really well! I'm fast too! I'm in middle of painting my entire apartment. Applying some `treatments' to a few walls too, one to make look like marble another to look like granite blocks. Painting on canvas is another matter. I'm slow and get too detailed and analytical about it, I need to just do it and go with the results.
What's a crazy full-moon story you have?
Well, once I gave the "full-moon" to a schoolbus. The driver just happened to be my county sharrif's wife :eek:. She came flying out of the bus and performed a citizen's arrest. There was no way we could run, its a small town and everyone recognises everyone else. Plus the yard that I was in belonged to the high school I was in, which the Admin had a real problem with me and was trying to expel me anyways, so if I had run they would have busted me anyways. I just had to chill there until the cops showed up and arrested me. 10 hours comunity service. Ok, so thats not what you ment by 'full-moon', but its pretty damn crazy!
Do you have a fav Short Story? If so, what is it, who wrote it, why is it your fav?
"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is probably my favorite short story, partly because i love her use of perspective in the story, but also because it is so subtly layered that i read it fully seven or eight times before i felt that i had any sort of grasp on it.
staying with Kik's theme, what is your favorite poem? and why?
"The Tale of a Certain Fairy" (it's here) because i find "the man takes out his eyeballs and polishes them more carefully than usual" brilliant and i like the careful but flagrant whimsy Kazuko Shiraishi shows when she writes.
what is your favorite nonfiction work and why?
There are sooooo many different Genres within nonfiction, so forgive me if I give you more than one.
Chomsky - Understanding Power.
The most objective book about how abuse of power is practically inevitable and why our fearless leaders do the insane things that they do, and how to avoid them... kind of.
Howard Marks - Mr. Nice
I'm not a pot head, but I do enjoy the occasional green day. This book was inspiring. Marks is the biggest Marijuana smuggler in the history of the UK. His stories are fantastic.
Stephen King - On Writing
Probably the best book I've ever read about writing fiction.
That will have to do for now. :)
Are you currently a student? How much school have you finished?
yes, I'm currently a student, formerly a student, soon to be a student: forever a student...I have completed my Horticultural Science and Landscape Design Program, and the first two, almost three years of a Sociology degree, then switched majors and am now in my second year (three days left!!) working towards a BA major in English. then i have one year after that, to get my secondary Ed. degree, and then i am a full fledged high school English teacher, ready to be underpaid, underappreciated and overworked. YAY...im so excited. I am actually taking this summer off of school; i have done summer semesters every year since 2000. I dont know what im going to do with myself....
What kind of organizational instruments do you employ?
ie: palm pilot, dayminder, notebook, nothing at all....
I've got a Salvidor Dali assignment book thingy. This is the first semester that I've actually used one and WOW! Its amazing how much easier life is when I know when my essays are due!
What's your fav beer? If you don't like beer, whats your fav alchoholic beverage?
beer? Corona (La cerveza mas fina??) but otherwise i love amaretto, poured over ice and sipped slowly *ponders this, leaves, returns with glass of amber liquid*.
where exactly is the "happy button"? ;)
I was trying to put "Right in the Mommy Daddy button" but that wouldn't fit. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, take a gander at Austin Powers: Goldmember, and that should clear things up.
LOL
where's my question?
*looks under desk to see if it fell down there*
nope no question for me
oops :embarassed:
Uhh.... When was the last time you slept before 1:00 AM?
last spring i guess. oh, wait! there was once this year.
how do you beheave behave that is when you're madely
help!:D
madly sleep deprives?
heehee,
well, i was going to say probably 1997, but there was that time that i fell asleep while i was at my desk writing, and then didnt wake up in time to go to my graveyard shift... that was only a few weeks ago.
when was the last time you got to sleep in past nine am?
HAHA! I get to sleep in past nine 5 days a week! *Blows raspberries at the blurry-eyed Mom*
Well, I'm madly sleep deprived 50% of the time, so when you see me post innappropriate things on here that make you giggle, like that condom joke last week, well, you got the idea.
Hehehe, I got to answer 2!
Who's your fav artist, whats your fav painting/sculpture/whatever your fav artist does?
oooh poor amuse, got lost in the shuffle, but in reality Kik has answered your question because apparently when he is very tired and sleep deprived, he tends to forget to post a question for the next user in line......
*furrowing of eyebrows*
giggle
Cheater!!!!!
damn the edit function
:confused:
well I went back and edited it, so I blow raspberries a second time :p :p
Guilty *holds out wrists to be cuffed*Quote:

okay fine, but no more raspberries, unless they have whipped cream on them....
and no cuffs for you Kik, i just dont think that would actually be a punishment ;)
ah, so this is the rasperry thread now? :p :p
fine!
re: cuffs: lol
so tired...delacroix for paintings, and rodin for the thinker statue and then put myself to bed.
do you buy tons of one item when it goes on sale? (or candy on clearance after major holidays?
:) g'night and morning!
Nope. Not really into candy, or buying things :confused:
What do you get at Starbucks/whatever coffeeshop you frequent?
Yes to the candy no to anything else
I get mocha anything
Have you ever stuck your tongue in an anemone before?
uh... yeah! Hasn't everyone?!?! :confused:
If you could change colour, to any colour not just natural skin tones, what colour would you be?
these questions are getting worse and worse.
well, simon. that got a good old fashioned belly laugh out of me. what a fascinating question....but no, im afraid not. im pretty careful about where i put my tongue. some lessons we learn the hard way ;)
would you pierce your tongue?
arggghhhhh.......
i would want to be a nice shade of green, somewhere between army green and grass green, maybe shades of both..oohhh, i wanna be cammo color, that's it! that's an interesting insight....
*ponders implications of this discovery*
i repeat, would you pierce your tongue??
No, I think its pretty stupid on guys. Its hot on girls though.
Repeat colour question.
answered color question
unless you dont like my color...in which case i will promptly accuse you of ..... not liking my color.
OK, so my question?
What are your sneezes like? Ya know how everyone does it a little different?
am i supposed to sniff pepper and make an audio recording?
how does one describe one's sneeze?
um....lets see. not loud, not squeeky, but as ladylike as possible. It's funny you ask that because i was just laughing about my boyfriend's sneezes the other day. he is a soldier and has been trained not to make any noise when he sneezes, so when it happens its just like this funky weird muscular contraction, and because there is no warning, it always scares the crap out of me!
What movie have you seen so many times that you can recite the dialogue by heart?
A tie between Rocky Horror and MP-and-the-Holy Grail.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
i refuse to answer that on the grounds that i have no idea what you are talking about.
May I have a question? :D
sure...
what is the earliest memory that you have?
Hmm...good one. Well, all the baby ones I can't quite put in order, but one is of being in my crib in my parents' room and crying because in the dark my dad's dirty laundry looked like a big black dog lying next to the bed, and my parents turning on the light to show me it was clothes, then turning it off again, and getting angry because "I KNOW it's clothes, but it LOOKS like a dog in the dark, so please take them away or leave the light on," and it just coming out as "Dog! Dog! Waaahhh!!" Another is waking up at night in my crib and thinking, "I want mom. Might as well call her," and starting to cry "mommy," only to see the babysitter appear in the doorway and feeling embarrassed because I didn't realize she was still there and trying to explain to her (a.k.a. "No, no, waahhh!") that I was okay, I was asking for my mom but I was fine now. LOL so in other words, my earliest memories are of being frustrated because I couldn't articulate my thoughts. And of people laughing when I said something serious.
Have you seen "Lost in Translation"? (See it!!)
nope, i heard it was awful. repeatedly.
You disagree?
Do I ever disagree! I found it very moving and satisfying to see characters act like real people with accountability for their actions.
Should all who disagree with me be rounded up in pens and made to chant my name till they go insane? :D
No, I think the movie wasn't that great, pretty average and a little pretentious.
What's the worst movie you've ever seen?
