Game: Ask the Person Below You

That depends greatly on what to get done and my emotions. Henry Murray would like to call the three main motivations achievement, power, and intimacy; others, like Thomas Hobbes would prefer more envy, greed, and fear. For me, nothing quite motivates me more than myself; I seek what seems in my ability and desire, feeling driven by my own compassion, perhaps get inspired by some people or things along the way, and thank myself and others for helping.

To the person below me: while studying, especially in school, do you tend to read drastically less, slightly less, or not at all?

Yes, but i'm ever so fortunate to be taking to literature courses, one in danish one in english, which means that in those classes alone i've read about 16 works.
I do try to keep up with reading alongside, but in stressed periods that is not realistic. last year I read a grand total of 46 books, and there is no way that it will be the equivilant this year.

Same question

I think it was drastically less, but I really don't remember.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and ordered a meal that turned out to be really bad (not that it was prepared wrong, that you didn't like it)?

No I dont think so because I always eat familiar things & dont experiment with new dishes.

Same ques.

A few times, yes, though it seems difficult to dislike some of my favorite foods - mainly Mediterranean foods. Most recently, I ordered some kind of pesto dish - the description and picture of it sounded and looked delicious, but looks can seem very deceiving. :eek2:

To the person below me: what area of the forum do you often visit first after signing in?

After signing in, I first visit General Literature.

Good question.

To the person below me: what area of the forum do you often visit first after signing in?

I usually check the new posts first, depending on whre the oldest new post is, that's where I visit first.

What is your definition of sillyness?

hehe, the amusingly meaningless

Same question

My definition of sillyness is acting like myself.

Same ques.

Silliness comes in way too many forms for my attempted definition, seeming sometimes humorous, annoying, redundant, immature, ecstatic, or just awkward.

To the person below me: where have you traveled in your life, and where would you like to travel?

17 countries and 22 states. Too much to list ;) I'd like to go to Dubai, where I'm moving in two months, and of course I want to got to Scotland!!!



Do wear a ring at all times? If so, what does it look like?

I never wear rings. I have no rings to wear. :D I do not need to wear rings.

SAME Q

BTW, Welcome! :wave: I see you enjoying the forum, and I hope you will continue to do so.

I don't wear juwelery, never did, maybe someday I will. :)

Did you see the flash of light at the sky? Do you know who it was?

I saw no flash that I know of, and I honestly feel perplexed at the question's possible individual and subjective meaning, nor do I know of what, or who :confused:, caused the flash I did not witness.

To the person below me: derived from thevintagepiper's question, do you casually or formally wear any jewelry, and if so, what?

I sometimes wear a necklace which holds a St. Jehanne of Arc medallion, one Catholic crucifix and one generic gold crucifix. I also have two metallic rings which I wrenched from the insides of skateboard wheel bearings, though I hardly ever wear them. Wait, I never wear them. Though I may someday, of I'm feeling adventurous.

- Same Q -

I usually wear a gigantic class ring... but lately i've been missing it.

I am very attached to that ring - feel naked without it.

It makes a superb single brass knuckle.

Is tomorrow going to be ok?

Yes it surely will.

1 thing about yourself you dont like.

Without doubt! (day for submission of final essays - which means i can stop stressing, and finally have vacation!) YEY!

What would make tomorrow okay?

peace & love.

Same ques.

Good question, as I have my state licensure exam tomorrow (NCLEX-RN), so perhaps the obvious would make my day wonderful! :nod:

To the person below me: what has happened today that has made your day good or bad?

9.0 for my final presentation for the project I was doing :D That really made my day :)

Same Q.

I found out my scores for a standardized test, and I scored better than 98% of the other students who took the test this year.

Have you ever eaten homemade strawberry pie made with fresh berries?

No. I don't really like cooked fruit.

Thank you for the welcome!


Do you take pictures of yourself?

Yes, I am extremely narcissistic, and as such schedule compulsory photoshoots for myself and my camera.

Same Q.

i do, but there is usually some occasion for it, or simply bordome...

Do you?

No . . . I don't have a camera, it might otherwise be conceivable. I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror at home, either. Don't really know why . . . I get this thought, like; What am I doing here, right now?? Then I get away from the mirror to go do something else.

- Do you take pictures of yourself? -

No I dont.

Do you like your pictures to be taken ?????

Seldom, feeling rather 'camera-shy,' and thinking myself the least photogenic. :p

To the person below me: before an exam or test, do you usually feel more like the anxious and scared test-taker, or the calm more laissez-faire test-taker?

Well, judging from the second definition of laissez-faire -

Quote:

2. Noninterference in the affairs of others.

---

sure; I'd rather not take the test!! :D

I think if you are calm perhaps you are underestimating something. I always try to give my best effort for tests; I think that naturally entails I get anxious about them, but in the best possible way.

- Do you prefer to eat a larger or smaller breakfast? -

Definitely smaller breakfasts. Most mornings, my stomach does not usually wake up with me immediately, so something to nourish myself slightly with helps, but something big would likely make me feel ill.

To the person below me: same question --

I prefer to eat nothing in the morning. Mother forcefully makes me do so...

Same Question.

I prefer to eat a medium sized breakfast. I usually try to read for at least half an hour when I get up.

Same Q

@Vintage Piper, strawberry pies are not necessarily cooked. They can be made with a baked crust, and whole strawberries mixed with strawberry or raspberry jello. Quite good, I think.

I tend to think of my breakfast as average, but many people would describe it as large.It's important for me to start the day with a good breakfast, not that it does me any good, I'll usually go hungry again after an hour or two.

What is your favourite dish?

My mom's secret potato gravy.

Same ques.

New England Pot Roast.... strange for a Southern, I know.

Do you perfer to be called Mr, Mrs, Ms, or just your name, no titles? :D

'Your Excellency' goes well with Caesar!

Same Q.

Your Royal Highness the Benevolent and Just King Aimus the first will do.

Same Q.

It depends on who I speak to, but usually I like to maintain a very casual conversation with others, so often prefer my name with no titles.

To the person below me: in normal conversation, who or what do you find yourself quoting the most (writers, poets, actors, actresses, etc.)?

Simpsons (to some people's dismay).

Person below me - same question?

Myself

Why do you want to understand what goes around you?
