What do you like least about your country of residence?

[Lifty]

What type of person intimidates you?

[thiswomanswork]

Umm, just about every type... I have social anxiety.

Do you dance?

[Lifty]

hahaha, you're funny. No i dont dance, and when i do it's only in moments of extreme drunkedness or when no one is watching!

How about you?

[thiswomanswork]

If I'm somewhere with people I'm really comfortable with, and they'll dance with me, and there are other people dancing already, I do. Otherwise, no way.

What's something that you really like about yourself?

[Lifty]

hmmm, that's kinda hard. I guess I like the fact that i'm pretty much able to make most people smile and laugh when they're feeling sad or lonely. Also, i'm easily amused. Like really easily amused.

Same question?

[Pinocchio1940]

Well, I can't really dance because I'm in a wheelchair - but if there is something playing that I like, I won't just sit still - I'll spin around.

What was the first Disney film you saw ?
(Mine was "Pinocchio")

[MsKittyB]

"Bambi" I remember because it was the first movie I ever saw and cried my eyes to.

What scares you the most?

[JujuDeRoussie]

s-p-i-d-e-r-s... Too many legs to not be evil!

I have a total phobia. And sometimes they come in my dreams, making them nightmarres of course. It already happened that I woke up to fall back unconscious because of one of those beasties. So I think it is ssafe to say it is what scares me the most.


Do you feel like you live your life fully?

[thiswomanswork]

More and more all the time, yeah.

If you could tell the world just one thing, what would it be?

[JujuDeRoussie]

"Life is too short to spend it worrying about "what will they say", try to live and be happy, as long as you hurt no one"




Do you buy stuff on the internet?

[thiswomanswork]

Currently, no, because I'm without a credit card (or much in the way of money). But in general, yes, lots.

If you could go back and change your past, would you?

[jay/wt4evr]

depends on my mood, but I'd say that I'd tell my love that I love her

[thiswomanswork]

lunchtime every day--at least until I decided to heck with lunches and started going to the library instead of the cafeteria.

Meeting my best friends

[thiswomanswork]

Looking into my newborn son's eyes for the first time.

What's your favourite sort of weather?

[jay/wt4evr]

cold, dry and windy

What's your lucky number?

[JujuDeRoussie]

3 and 9. I kno wyou asked for only one, but 9 is the product of 3 times 3 so it's like there is only one number right?


Do you give your blood?

[umgaynow]

Nope. Can't give blood cuz I'm on too many medications

Do you have any artistic talent (not just visual art...music, dance, writing etc. or whatever)?

[JujuDeRoussie]

I like to think that yes I have. I can draw and write. In my second high school there was the "Week of Arts" in which several of my works (painting and writing) were visibles. I regret I had no cameras then.
Oh and I can cook, I like to think of cooking like an art.



Have you any manual talents?

[jay/wt4evr]

Welll...
ok I'll stop I can be sort of a carpenter, I can do some woodwork, I can do a little plumbing and every work that has to be done in a house and I'm a handler {soon to be}

What do you like most of your life?

[thiswomanswork]

In my life, what I like most is... let's see. Having the awesome-ist kid in the world. Friends, wonderful friends. Beautiful cats. My geeky, fangirl lifestyle. All the wonderful stories I see. My great, cheap place in a pretty part of town. And me. I like me.

Is there anything that feels missing from your life?

[Lifty]

AT the moment there is a person missing from my life, but i have to get over it.


Do you consider graffiti to be art?

[thiswomanswork]

It's one of my favourite art forms.

Do you have any long-term goals?

[hondos]

Yes.I want to open my own restaurant someday.


What in your life are you most happy about right now?

[JustSkipIt]

My kids. They are so amazingly spectacular. Chiara is smiling and makes eye contact and Asher is just hysterically funny. We were playing Break the Egg on the trampoline and he kept running near the side so I was trying to say, "let's stay near the middle because I'm worried that you will get your feet caught..." (etc.) and he broke my egg and knocked me over while I was talking. So he looked at me and said totally seriously, "you can't talk. You're an egg." I was already knocked over or I would have fallen over laughing.

Similarly, what are you most dissatisfied with right now?

[thiswomanswork]

((giggles at the egg thing))

I'm most dissatisfied with not having a job. There's just something inherently frustrating about constantly sending resumes, going to interviews, and even just going around to shops and asking if they need help... and getting no result except a lot of tired. :/ I'm emotionally ready to get on with my life, but not being financially ready is really holding me back. ((shrug))

How are you different from who you thought you'd be when you were a kid?

[jay/wt4evr]

Wow what a question
I never really wondered how I would be, cos I was too busy growing and becoming who I am now

what do you think of mobile phones?

[thiswomanswork]

I think that as a technology they've generally had a positive overall effect on society. I'm less enthused about their environmental effects.

What would you like to be different in your life 5 years from now?

[kisstheviolets]

i'd like to be practicing the kind of law that is meaningful and exciting to me, in a good, healthy relationship, and a little healthier physically.

what was the biggest challenge you faced in 2007?
