.. Hmm. Well, there are very many, but the first song that came to mind was "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen, not sure why it came to mind, but it is a wonderful song.

What would that language be?
Arabic
Do you suffer from wanderlust?
No. *Laugh* I have traveled enough.. I know that in the end there's no coming or going, to quote Seng Ts'an.
Do you like Seng Ts'an?
he's interesting.. but i didn't know about him until a year ago.
can you play any instruments perhaps? (guitar in hand haha)
guitar less and less since I am not practising.
Do you like India?
never been, my friend, however is a foreign exchange student from India. She says it is amazing there and that I should go soon.
how's life been lately?
I must admit it's getting better, a little better all the time.
Which has more history, China, or Europe?
Europe does because its a bunch of country’s.
As a kid what do/did you want to be when you grew up?
Sometimes a writer, sometimes a professional chess player :lol:
same q
a detective
same question
a heart surgeon, then a vet, then a zoologist (my idol was Jane Goodall)... instead I ended up not liking science so much, and went into International Studies (though literature--reading, writing, poetry, etc. have been present in my life since I learned how to read)
what would be your ideal job/career? (you can pick anything in the world, or even something that does not really exist yet :))
still, a detective
same question
My "I'm a barbarian answer": Playboy photographer
My "I'm an thoughtful, quiet guy answer": Park ranger for the Badlands National Park in North Dakota, USA (northern unit).
My "I'm a geek answer": Professional AD & D player (2nd edition only, please)
My I'm a wise-*** answer": professional trust fund kid
My "final answer": a Trust fund child who, when not on the professional circuit of vintage AD&D players, spends his time alternating between the Thoreauvian rangering in the least visited park in the US and at Heff's mansion photographing the natural (and supernatural) beauties seen there.
Question: Would you rather win a Nobel Prize or win an Olympic gold metal?
NOBEL PRIZE of course. No question there.
Do you suffer from hayfever?
Nope. Maybe because I've spend many summers on the hay fields of the western US stacking hay with my father. Then there was that one time in graduate school (I worked on a farm in the summer) when I stacked hay that must have had poison ivy in the bales. Man. . .that itched.
Would you rather: (1) see the movie first, then read the book, or (2) read the book first, then see the movie?
Read the book first.
What is the most important thing you have to do /have done today?
I ran for four (4) miles this morning.
If you could know the exact time and method of your own death, would you want to know?
Perhaps not the exact time, but the means, I think it would feel interesting to know. In an Oedipus kind of way, where true fate and destiny exist, and I could die in no other way, I think I could amuse myself by doing these insanely, death-defying acts, knowing I would survive, because I would know absolutely the means of my death.
Same question.
No, I think that I would rather have it come suddenly and in a surprise. Though mono has a good point about how one could do death defying acts and know that one will survive... however, if I knew, for example, that I was going to die in a car crash, I would probably never want to ride in a car again, or I would be terrified the whole time... this would really get in the way of life. To know death estranges one from life.
What is the best gift you have ever received?
Ever? It's a four way tie (what a lame answer, I know)
1. A Buck knife from my dad when I was six.
2. A Cross fountain pen from my dad when I graduated college.
3. A wedding ring from my wife after I duped her into marrying me
4. A picture from my daughter (given yesterday).
What color ink do you prefer to write in, if all options were on the table?
Black or blue.
What is the best way to overcome fear?
Swallow hard, take a deep breath, and go.
If you saw an undeniably real, extrinsically verifiable (1) space alien or (2) ghost. Which one would scare you the most?
definitely a space alien :alien:
but if the alien looked cute then seeing a ghost might be scarier.
If you could be a spy would you be one?
No
If there were any words that you could take back, what would they be?
I wouldn't.Quote:

How are you at receiving needles from a medic?
Love'em.
Will you change your avatar for tonight's record party?

What should it be?
Party lights that flicker
Would you like to be in a movie?
yes
same question....
Not particularily, though I wouldn't have an aversion to being in one.Quote:

What are good reasons to be joyful?
Trusting yourself to be a comfort in your own deolation, or the desolation of others?
What are good reasons not to be joyful?
Anything which hurts oneself or others.
Do you agree with my answer?
Indeedy.
I like asking this question from time to time, especially when I can think of nothing else: what did you learn recently that fascinated you?
