Yes at times or most of the times I put myself in the characters situation and think what I would do. While reading I am subconsciously making this comparison between the character and me and see how similar or different we are.
How much time do you usually take to get ready for office or party or just generally?
About ten minutes... Very much depending on what kind of party it is, or what kind of impression I want to make.
What do you think is beautiful?
A good soul...........
you may answer the same question or
Now when you look back on your life, lets say last 7-8 yrs, do you think you have changed? Did you you want to become (personality wise) what you are today? And do you like what you are now?
Yes, I have changed a great deal. At the same time, I was 7 years old 8 years ago so I should hope I have changed! Anyway, I am quite happy with how I am now, even if I struggle with inner things a lot. Personality wise I am where I think I should be and want to be.
Same ques.
I have changed more than I can say, certainly, and never pictured myself in this present state, for better or worse, 7-8 years ago. At that time, I imagined myself in a far different place in life, but have succeeded nonetheless in other endeavors; I have no regrets.
To the person below me: good question, so I pass it along --

I'm more financially equipped than I ever have been before. I've gained... and I've lost... and I often wonder why life won't let you gain without losing at the same time. Maybe to give us something to write about, eh?
To the person below me: If you knew in advance which losses you would have to sustain to make significant gains in your life, how would you prioritize or value all the components that makes up your life now?
As my father would always recommend: 'hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.'Quote:

From there, I would carefully visualize how to maintain stability and attain desired goals simply step-by-step, though always much easier mapped out than earned.
To the person below me: do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Nah, I know too much about astronomy to believe in astrology, and I don't even know that much about astronomy. I like reading my horoscopes though, it's nice to see what they have to say.
Same Q. because I can't think of a better one
No. No, no, no, no. You'll notice if you read every horoscope on a given date, they all give approximately the same generic blather.
Same question.
They have a saying over here, which you may google for its meaning: I'm from Missouri!

Other than that, they cannot cause or predict or contribute in any way to personality or destiny.
On the other hand, *I* can affect and/or effect my own personality or destiny by choosing to emulate characteristics or attributes ascribed to certain stars, planets, constellations by astrology. I can choose to see myself as a warrior born under Saggitarious or a bull born under Taurus, etc. I can cultivate a warrior ethos or a bull's stubbornness, etc.
The stars don't make me do it, but I can certainly allow myself to be become the self-fulfilling prophecy of the astrological interpretation of my moment and location of birth under the stars.
Let's keep at this question just a little while longer. Perhaps someone who is convinced that astrology plays some part in human drama might be willing to share their insights.
No, I do not believe in astrology. I have trouble believing that much of human personality and behavior depend on celestial bodies; of the many, many people I have met in my lifetime, of the approaching 7 billion people on earth, the 12 astrological signs, for me, have never had the ability to summarize each individual depending on their birthday, time, location, etc. As human beings, I feel we seem far more complex than the vague descriptions given of each sign.
Though I do not intend to insult anyone else's beliefs on astrology, I only cannot agree; it does not seem a matter of not wanting to believe, or not choosing to believe, but more that I cannot believe it true.
To the person below me: what Internet sites do you mostly frequent?
This one, several webcomics like Dilbert,Garfield, Alpha Shade, angels2200 and The Noob. Apart from that I visit several blog and or news sites on various subjects, like games Gamespot or movies IMDB A shipmodellers website known as Drydock Models and many more sites.
Same Q, include links!
Well, LitNet, obviously! Then there's always google, wikipedia, pantheon and dictionary.com for referencing stuff. Hmm... what else...? *scanning favourites folder* there's meebo for chatting, and orkut for some more chatting! :D
I also read other newspapers and journals online like the Hindustan Times, the New York Times and The Economist.
I used to frequent Mugglenet quite a bit after the new book came out, but the obsession has dimmed quite a bit of late. So, my new pastime is playing 20 questions online. :)
Same question...
Lit-Net, The Christian Forum, LOTRForums, Eisley Journals, Blogger, To Write Love on Her Arms.
Have you ever heard of any of these sites? (apart from Lit Net!)
