Cadbury :D
What sweets other than chocolate do you like?
Fruit. :D ... Does fruit count as a sweet? Some are sweet!
Would you take out the trash in your PJs?
Since they look just like sweatpants...sure
Have you ever gone outside in your skivies?
Nope.
If I could summarise my day in one word, it would be . . .
rushed.
If you could wish for anyone in the world (other than yourself or your partner) to win $50,000,000 (or any large sum of money in whatever currancy) who would you bestow this upon and why?
Good question. I can think of several students of mine who are single-moms (with more than one kid) work a full time job, take a full coarse load, and NEVER make an excuse for absences, late work, etc. . . . I'd give the dough to one of them. . . . the most respectable people I know.Quote:

What writer(s) has/have changed your life?
Several: Thoreau, Thomas Wolf (the good one, the one who wrote Look Homeward, Angel), Edward Abbey, Willa Cather, Barry Lopez. Poets: Anne Bradstreet, Emily Dickinson, Edward Hirsch. Comics creators: Art Speigleman, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Craig Thompson. . .
Same question!
There's Asimov, who made me realize I really like Sci-fi a lot, and thus made me see so many sci-fi movies. :D
Then there is Neil Gaiman, who I found takes a lot after me when I started reading some of his Novels (Thanks Night! Best gift ever! It's in an AWESOME spot! :))
A few philosophers, won't name them all, but they helped shape my vision of the world as it is now.
And a group of people that are the writers of a certain big book that is in part helped me realize that a certain something is the biggest load of nonsense and mass delusion ever. YAY! :banana:
Sure there is more, but these are the biggest ones.
Biggest life altering moment?
Neil Gaiman, right next to Peter S. Beagle, is my favorite fantasy novelist.
<--This lady in my avatar, Delirium, was created by him.
My biggest life-altering moment? So far?
The day my Dad chose to keep my brother over my stepmother (Well, of course he did!!). It reshaped our whole family. It doesn't feel that much life-altering now, but ... it was at the time.
Who was your best friend growing up (what were they like)?
My best friend then, is my best friend today, though we have lived on seperate continents for 10 years. She is a brainy, quirky, awkward, hilarious, extrovert, and I love her to death do us part.
A rough estimate of how many books you own?
