Game: Ask the Person Below You

[Shalot]

Yes, I responded poorly to a situation and nearly got fired. I hadn't been paid in nearly a month and had a bit of a confrontation with the man in charge of billing. Thankfully it all got worked out.

What was the best day of your life, up until now?

Well, we have to get paid. You shouldn't mess around with someone's money.

The best day of my life is the day I met my husband.

What's your favorite movie as of the moment you read this post?

[Orpheus]

Fight Club comes to mind.

What is the thing that limits you most from creating success in your life?

[greenlake]

Fear...

if you'd be any cartoon character, who would you be?

(I WOULD BE GIR FROM INVADER ZIM.)

[Moira]

Mumble from Happy Feet, i just loved the cartoon.

What's the first thing you notice when you meet somebody for the first time?

[Haven]

That's actually quite a tricky one. You could say their eyes, or what they're wearing but really it's more subtle than that... so I would say, how they respond to me as a person. Are they friendly, are they stand-offish what is the general vibe they give off?



What is the best and what is the worst time of day for you, and if you like why?

[Orpheus]

The best and worst time of the day is when I first wake up and realize that I am awake. Waking means that I get to live another day and add to my life experience, it also means that I have to live another day with a lot of stupid bull****.

Who influences you most?

[kiz_paws]

This will be corny, but it is Nature that influences me most. Seeing the mother duck tend to her babies in such a fiercely protective manner; seeing the humility of the wolf, while the pack waits for the alpha to have his share, waiting patiently by; watching tree branches bend with the mightiest of winds and bounce back like nothing happened; I could go on, but you get the point...

If you could say something on the evening news that would make a difference in this world, what would you say?

[motherhubbard]

This will be corny, but it is Nature that influences me most. Seeing the mother duck tend to her babies in such a fiercely protective manner;

A friend of mine had a duck that took over the nest of a hen and hatched baby chickens. Everyone thought it was so cute the way that mothered those chicks until she took them to the pond and they all drowned. You just made me think of that.

I doubt anything I could say would help

same question, I'll pass it along

I think I'd say "Give peace a chance" but I know it wouldn't do any good.

Lover or friend. If you could only have one, which would it be?

The Thousandth Man by Rudyard Kipling

One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than a brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half your days
If you find him before the other.
Nine nundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth man will stand your friend
With the whole round world agin you.

'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show
Will settle the finding for 'ee.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go
By your looks, or your acts, or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him.
The rest of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim
With you in any water.

You can use his purse with no more talk
Than he uses yours for his spendings,
And laugh and meet in your daily walk
As though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call
For silver and gold in their dealings;
But the Thousandth Man h's worth 'em all,
Because you can show him your feelings.

His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right,
In season or out of season.
Stand up and back it in all men's sight --
With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame or mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side
To the gallows-foot -- and after!

Sorry about the long answer...

Same question, good one, Granny!

[Granny5]

Thank you Pen. Great answer...maybe the best.

[Shurtugal]

a lover, i have the bestof friends, but i think a lover i would want more. because they would be the best of friends.

if the time comes when you must leave your family to be with you love, what do you think you'd feel? (or those who have how did you feel?)

[kiz_paws]

I felt great. Like I now had wings.

Which author do you feel you relate to the most?

[quasimodo1]

Well, it's either Rainer Maria Rilke or Samuel Beckett. Which, if any, sculptor do you enjoy the most?

[Moira]

Michelangelo, I'm fascinated by this man.

what qualities you appreciate most in a friend?
