Earth.
Haven't seen it as much as we would like.
The same question since we lack imagination at the moment
The same answer since I suffer from the same predicament as above people.
Which avatar of Taliesin do you like better? The new one or the old Puss in Boots one?
I like the present one more, reminding me of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. I had not seen Shrek 2 until recently, so I had no idea what the Puss 'n Boots picture came from, but loved it also.
To the person below me: I like Jay's question:

If you had money to spare, and had to pick a charity to donate all of it to, which one would you pick and why?
I'm not sure what charity this goes under, but if I had money to spare I would like to donate my money into research for a cure for AIDS...
Who is the most influential person in your life and why?
Oh my :blush: *laughs and blushes. I shall return . . .Quote:

To the person below me: speaking of which, I liked Psyche's question.

In which musical would you like to star?
If opera counts, either Wagner's Tannhauser or Strauss' Die Fledermaus.
If not, then, quite honestly, probably The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but not as Frank N. Furter.
To the person below me: what is your favorite word?
At the moment it is "Luigeluulinn" which means Swanbonecity when translating directly, but in estonian, there is the lovely assonance with all those l-s. A poetry book by Kristiina Ehin bears that name, and it's a good poetry book
What do you like more: endrhyme(do not know the correct terms by that We mean like :like-mike) or assonance?
I have no favorite word, though i am fond of "Azure".
Under me:
You? Ruling a country? What's the first change you would make?
i'd change the voting sistem... i mean, if they chose me as their leader, something must be wrong!
how can you turn yourself inside out?
Microwave oven ;)
What's your fave name? (both male and female)
I have a few favorite names -
Female: Phoebe, Elizabeth, Lily;
Male: Ethan, Devon (ironically), Mason.
To the person below me: what is your most common exclamation you say when angry or surprised?
angry: grrrr :p
surprised: ... wow? good kinda surprised? geez maybe, bad kinda surprised? oh cr** :lol:
What part of a day you like most and why? (week days as well as weekend, doesn't matter)
I like weekend mornings. Something about watching the day break before a day which I have little to do makes me feel serene.
To the person below me: same question.
Nights, definitely. It's dark and quiet and peaceful and just nice.
If you were told you could chose to be someone else, anyone you'd like (gender doesn't matter), who would it be?
Can we be ourselves?
We repeat out question which was sadly interrupted for We and Psyche answered the same question.
What do you like more: endrhyme(do not know the correct terms by that We mean like :like-mike) or assonance?
I sometimes have difficulty comprehending assonance unless read aloud; with those two choices, I often prefer, but only with the right poets, who use the technique well, end-line rhyme. I also love many other poeticisms, while attempting being as eclectic as possible, such as alliteration, onomanopoeia, and use of both concrete and abstract nouns.
To the person below me: red or white wine (or none)?
red. pinot noir, to be more exact. not more than one glass at a time though ;)
cinema or theatre?
I love both; movies, plays, opera, and musicals - I enjoy all equally.
To the person below me: what book have many people raved about, but with which you found yourself disappointed?
"OMG!!! The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is SO Much better than the movie(s)!!!!"
Um, no, they both suck...
What is your favorite indulgence?
*try reading Beowulf or Gawain and the Green Knight then compare, I found the books to be quite brilliant*
It's a toss up between playing harp or cross-stitching. I guess anything to keep my fingers busy when I'm not reading.
What was you worst instructor like?

I was correct, had not "overdosed" my patient, and professionally pointed out her error and misinterpretation. Well, she took it very personally, and threatened kicking me out of my nursing program.
To the person below me: same question (good one, Shea).
I find it difficult to enjoy learning anything taught by an instructor that does not have passion for what they teach. Vague I know, but that's the best I can offer.
Do you keep a journal, and if so do you use it regularly or sporadically?
yes, several, never manage to write more than a few pages (both paper kinda and digital)
fave band + song?
Yikes, tough one! I cannot possibly narrow down my favorite band, being a fan of multiple genres, let alone a favorite song, but a few favorites (non-classical): Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, REM, Travis, Coldplay, Björk, Fiona Apple, Mono (ironic, eh?), and, for very special reasons, the whole album of Hold On Love by Azure Ray.;)
To the person below me: hypothetically, of course, if you chose to become any other plant or animal, what would you choose, and why?
Female grizzly bear, then I would be forced by the norms of my species to gain an insane amount of weight, be expected to kill to protect my young, scare the bejeebies out of anyone who came near me, and running with fat rippling around my body would be beautiful.
Which mythological god/goddess would you, could you, be, if you could?
Though I know I this response requires becoming another gender, I would choose Pallas Athena (Roman: Minerva), the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and "useful" arts, owning the city of Athens, Greece, having the equal wisdom, if not more, of Zeus, residing on Mount Olympus, and being admired by nearly all.
Good question, lhaeber; I love Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology!
To the person below me: same question.
I would most definately be Freya.
Freya
In Norse mythology, Freya is a goddess of love and fertility, and the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses. She is the patron goddess of crops and birth, the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in matters of love. She loves music, spring and flowers, and is particularly fond of the elves (fairies). Freya is one of the foremost goddesses of the Vanir.
She is the daughter of the god Njord, and the sister of Freyr. Later she married the mysterious god Od (probably another form of Odin), who disappeared. When she mourned for her lost husband, her tears changed into gold.
To the one under me; what is the first thing that you wouldn't tell someone about yourself when first meeting them, and why?
Good question. I know immediately and exactly what I would not say, it having to do something with two opposite polar bears.
To the person below me: if you immediately knew of a person's weaknesses and private issues, of whom you just met, would you feel priveleged or offended?
I would feel emotionally closer to them. Not offended at all.
So you subscribe to any religion?
Not any one specifically. I enjoy the thought that every religion contains a component of truth, and that truth, itself, stretches beyond human understanding, beliefs, intuitions, and reason. If I claimed a religion: perhaps universal skepticism.
To the person below me: same question.
I'm a christian. There's no denominational name for the congregation that I attend. You could say that our motto is "we speak where the Bible speaks, and we're silent where the Bible is silent".
A variation: Who was your best instructor?
*By the way mono, I can sympathize. I went through a terrible nursing program.*
It was a toss up between Mr. Rogers and Mr. Dressup...
To the person below me,
you believe in reincarnation, so you'll come back as what?
I believe in reincarnation and I think I will always be human, I think I'll be a girl again, but who knows?
same question
Hmm, being a slight skeptic regarding just about everything, I do believe in a form of reincarnation, something resembling the Pythagorean idea of the transmigration of souls, though I also *question* the Buddhist belief that, once a being reaches enlightment, s/he becomes devoid of reincarnation.
Firstly, I do believe in the mind-body dichotomy, and figure that they persist as nearly opposites, one being material, the other immaterial, and one being finite, the other . . . hmm . . . possibly infinite, which further directs me toward William James' theory of the connection of souls. I would like to think that all souls connect themselves with each other, and contribute to a unity of life, cycling in a life-death refrain, and do not necessarily need proof; but I suppose some things require more faith and intuition than logic and reasoning.
Whew! Please, pardon my preaching. :angel:
To the person below me: do you believe in a Heaven and Hell?
No. Because;"every religion promises certain benefits to its adherents, and those benefits require by way of contrast some costs incurred by those who do not receive those benefits".
Mashed or baked potatoe?
Mashed, with garlic and butter. (Probably too much salt too)
What does your right hand smell like?
My right hand smells faintly of Lush brand organic soap, and sweetly of the scent of an orchid owned by Psyche. ;)
To the person below me: what was the most interesting thing you learned recently?
