Getting to know you . . .

[umgaynow]

Nope...I can't even wear a neoprene kneebrace without coming out in a severe rash so a wetsuit would be out of the question...although I do find a woman in a shorty wetsuit very sexy, especially the kind with the zip down the front

What was the first record (or CD if you're too young to remember record) you ever bought?

[jay/wt4evr]

Mmmmh....Well my firsts CDs were burned, then I bought the Double LP 'Marshall Mathers' by Eminem

Do you think there's 'someone' out there that look after us? {or that likes playing with us, as you want to put it}

[satinpaper]

Tough question, I'm not exactly a religious person, I really don't know. I just sometimes wish, if there is somebody, s\he got more interactive and less sneaky.

Did you ever take part in a creative writing sort of course?

[SJ]

I took a 6 week UK Film Council Screenwriting Course in 2005.
Have you ever won anything?

[thiswomanswork]

I've won a heck of a lot of swordfighting tourneys.

Anything you particularly excel at?

[Lifty]

Art! Love it, live it, breathe it.

Ever sent someone a txt or email you didnt mean to send? ANd had an embarassing result?

[thiswomanswork]

Oh, dear gods, yes I have... Hoo, that was embarrassing.

Ever send a text that was innocent, but the auto-speller had chosen the wrong word and made it... less so?

[Lifty]

yeah, but it turned out to be...rather explicit...and emotional scarring lol, for both of us, especially as she thought i was for real

Ever left a really weird, or humiliating voice message on someone's phone?

[thiswomanswork]

One day, in the early stages of the Big Bad Divorce, I went into full-on panic-mode and just her up and broke down on her voicemail. Said some terribly clingy, lame things. Honestly, if I'd been the one getting the voicemail instead of leaving it, I'd have been pretty intimidated and a little squicked.
So, yes.

Have you ever answered a call thinking it was someone else, answered with a particularly personal greeting and been embarrassed?

[Lifty]

well i called up my girlfriend once and thought she'd answer, so i said 'hey baby' and it was her mum. Thats when everything went really bad.

Ever been on the phone and realised the other person was on the toilet, and it was just very very awkward?

[hondos]

First off LOL LOL LOL
And yes. LOL.

Have you ever made a call while in the bathroom?

[Lifty]

Oh yeah. And my friend hung up on me when she realised lol. Just jokingly

Ever told someone something really personal on the phone and then realised someone else was listening in on the conversation from another handset?

[hondos]

Yes.This happened when I was 15 . my mother was the listner..I was talking to my boyfriend and she was listing in onthe other end.We were talking about sex too so, it was just aweful.LOL



Have you ever listened in on a conversation either by phone or any other way and been really sorry you did?

[Lifty]

yep, i went to call someone and pressed talk button and my bro and dad were talking. It was very personal, my brother was going through some incredibly difficult times which i had no clue about.

What are your views on feminism? What does it mean to you? Does a feminist look a certain way?

[jay/wt4evr]

I don't like 'feminist' cos I think the only way women and men could be 'alike', and respected the same way is being 'alike-ist' {that's not a word, but you get it} cos sure, females aren't always respected the same way as men, but I also think everyone should earn their respect, not just cos I'm a women I'm treated in a bad way so rescue me, it doesn't work that way, cos now men are emancipated as well as women, and most of them respect someone who is respect worthly when they see them, no matter male or female, who works and is a 'good' person {who knows what's good and what's not, only god knows} should be praised
so,I think feminism nowadays isn't needed in advanced countries

What would you do if someone abused of their position to cause you trouble?

[hondos]

Go to whoever was there superior and turn them in.




What is your favorite past time?

[jay/wt4evr]

well, I've been adopted at the age of 15 months, I never saw any of my parents' pictures when I was at the orphanage, but when I came in Italy, and arrived at the airport when I saw them {for the very FIRST time} I pointed them and smiled
even though I don't remember it that's my best moment

what do you do when you're about to burst?

[thiswomanswork]

Umm... moan and writhe?

What's the longest you ever went without sleep?

[JujuDeRoussie]

No sleep at all? Not even some minutes? It was a bit more than 3 days, with very bad sleep for weeks before that... And I lost consciousness while taking my shower the mornign of an exam. After that my doctor made me take pills for some day. But once I stopped the pills I once again slept badly, and I still do sleep badly, but at least I sleep.

Do you have children?

[thiswomanswork]

Yes. I have a 10-year old boy named Dru.

Do you want children?

[JujuDeRoussie]

Yes, very much so. And I love to joke about this year being the right year for me to have one, but I am not ready.
But I want children and I will have some, only death can prevent me from that


What is your favorite meal?

[thiswomanswork]

At the moment, my favourite food is a snack. Nacho Cheese flavoured Doritos, with cream cheese.

When the Big Bad Divorce happened, I pretty much lost my enjoyment of eating, and even though I'm a thousand times better now than I was then, I still mostly don't enjoy food for some reason. The above snack is pretty much the one thing that I usually can enjoy. I've no idea why.

Same question?

[JujuDeRoussie]

Oh hard question... LOL

Hmmm I will go with my favorite French one, because Pizza seems so lame but a good Regina Pizza isn't lame.
Anyway, so I am going with "Boeuf Bourguignon" which is oh so yummy. Especially my mother's one.
I really need to check if she does something special.


Is there a flavour you dislike very much?

[Pinocchio1940]

Burger King's "Double Whopper W/ Cheese - if that can be called a meal - I like them because they fill me up.

Favorite melody?

[thiswomanswork]

This.

And again, same question?

[Pinocchio1940]

"Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)

Favorite shows beyond "Buffy"?

[thiswomanswork]

My favourite show is a Japanese drama called 'Long Vacation'. After that... let's see. In no particular order, and with buffy out of the picture, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Angel, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, The Sarah Jane Adventures, and Robin of Sherwood.

I'm going to continue my trend of question reversal, 'cos that's the mood I'm in I guess. Same question?

[Pinocchio1940]

Six Feet Under, ST: The Next Generation, Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, Dexter, Voyager, Dirty Sexy Money
