Getting to know you . . .

[Nue]

uhn... I think I´ll change my life... I feel useless and I have to do something about it...

Any regrets in 2009?

Not succeeding in losing those extra pounds.

5 dogs, 3 cats, 1 fish.

What are your plans for the holidays?

What do you remember most of your summer {2009}?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I only really remember two things from the summer, finding my girl and having cooking & movie nights with an old friend.

What is your favorite memory from a childhood summer?

[DameSansMerci]

It was a really great day...I got up early and went to cross-country practice the summer between eighth grade and freshman year of high school (we started training over the summer to increase our distance and started at 6:00 am to beat the summer heat). I ran a long distance and was high off the adrenalin and the accomplishment...then I walked the 3 miles home with daydreams in my head the whole way, came into the house, flopped down on the couch to watch 2 hours of ER reruns with my cat on my lap (in my sports bra under a blanket, cooling off), then running down to the basement while I had the house to myself to watch Bram Stoker's Dracula when nobody was home. It was a great day (and I lathered, rinsed, and repeated most days of that summer...I must've seen that movie more than 30 times).

When did you first learn about sex (not necessarily "the talk", just when did you first hear a rumor of what it was)?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

This will seem weird to most people, in fact it seems weird even to me, but I honestly can't remember *not* knowing about sex. I'm fairly certain my parents never sat down and talked to me about it, but knowing them I wouldn't be surprised if it was just casually mentioned... also, my tv watching was never very limited or censored. I remember watching soap operas with my mom when I was around 5 or 6 that had a lot to do with sex but nothing specific, and I know by the time I saw The Red Violin with my mom when I was 7 or 8 I understood what was going on in the sex scene. I just don't remember how I came by the knowledge of what sex was...

How did your parents approach awkward subjects, like sex or puberty or death or something similar, with you as a child?

How did your parents approach awkward or uncomfortable subjects, like sex or puberty or death or something similar, with you as a child?

[Nue]

oh no... until today, my dad and I never had this kinda of talk...


Do you believe in God? if not, why?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I more or less believe in a higher power, but I wouldn't call it God. Sometimes I refer to it as the Goddess, but to me it's mostly...Mother Earth, the creator and mother of us all.

How do you/will you/did you/would you raise your children religiously and/or spiritual?

[DameSansMerci]

My sweetie and I are both Mahayana Buddhists from different traditions, so I'd like to raise the child probably as a non-denominational Mahayana Buddhist (one who believes in working toward the freedom from suffering of all beings, rather than just themselves).


What do you put on first in the morning, clothing-wise?

[Taralover]

Pants, a T-shirt, then everything else.

What do you want most in your life?

[Nue]

never being alone again...


do you plan to have kids in a world like ours?

[Taralover]

No.

What do you want to happen to your body after your death?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I'm torn between wanting my body to feed the planet, letting animals live off my remains or just decomposing and acting as fertilizer, and being buried so my loved ones can have a place to visit and feel connected to me.

What do you do to feel connected to those you've lost?

[writerfreak]

You already know this but for others the answer is I go to the one place I always felt closest to them, hang out and let myself remember until I was okay again.

What is the farthest you would go to feel close to one you have lost?

writerfreak

[Taralover]

If you mean one that has been lost by death, many miles. If you mean lost in a bad break-up,I visted boards I have not been for a long time.

How much do you look forward to Christmas?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

This year, not at all.

What's your favorite holiday and why?

[Nue]

uhn.. I think is Easter... I´m catholic, so all that 'He´s alive' thing is really nice and make me believe even more...


what do you ask to Santa this year?

[Taralover]

A girlfriend...failing that, some high quality chocolate and a few small items.

What was best and worst about 2009 so far for you?

[Nue]

best: meeting my girlfriend
worst: losing my voice


What is your proudest life accomplishment so far and why?

I thought long and hard about this, but it has to be seducing and winning the love of my 2nd ex,and then splitting up with her on good terms.
