Getting to know you . . .

[summer fairy]

Aw, that would be my Sazki, she is a boarder collie cross whippit, and she's beatiful!

Whats the scarest expeirence you have ever had?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I guess for me that would not so much be a pinpoint-able exact thing, so much as a time in my life, which would be when I found myself falling in love.
What's your greatest fear?

[VMarie]

Up until recently, I would've said Spiders, Ants and anything with more than four legs. But, over the last year and a half I've been working on that.

So, I guess my greatest fear on a emotional level would have to be the idea of living my adult life alone, closed-off to friendships and relationships.

What would you consider your greatest accomplishment in life, thus far?

[kisstheviolets]

i could say being the first in my family to graduate from college, and then law school, or recently passing the bar exam, but i think privately i'm most proud of making it on earth longer than my dad did - he committed suicide at 29, the same age i am now (i was 3 then). we'll see what the next chapter has in store - my paternal grandfather offed himself at 75 so that's the next milestone to reach. for the record, i have no suicidal tendencies, but i walk around feeling like there's some kind of hidden time-bomb in me just waiting to go off - that one day i could wake up and just not be sane. i know it's silly, but it's often there at the back of my mind, a constant "what if?"

if you could have one do-over in life, what would it be? and please, none of this "i have no regrets" business.

[tazraven]

I'd re-do my worst college semester, since it royally screwed up my grades for a while, and lost me my frickin' scholarship.

If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

[writerfreak]

Eleanor Roosevelt. She's my idol.

If you had to be stranded for two weeks with one person who would it be?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

a few people come to mind: my mom, because she's so resourceful; my friend becca, cause we work well together; or either of my friends emma, meglet, or corinne, cause i can never stay mad at either of them, or they me; but it's hard to pick just one person, and i think if i had ample food supply and would be safe, i'd maybe just prefer to be alone, cause i think i'd get bored and irritated with the constant present of any friend. yeah, i'm indecisive

if you could only have one form of technology with you for your two stranded weeks, what would it be?

[gorn]

Air-conditioning.

Where would you like to voluntarily exile yourself for a while? Not a vacation, but like a year far away, no contact with your current life. Where would you go?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

i think that depends on if a year would pass in my current life, in which case i'd stay put. but if i could just pause my life, have a year somewhere else, then resume life as-is, i'd probably choose either Brittagny France so I could learn Gaelic, or a hospital so i could learn what i'll need to know to be a doctor, or simply travel around Europe.

If you could live on one continent for the rest of your life and never leave, which continent would you choose?

[Willowtree252]

Europe I have so many friends over there I would really enjoy to hang with them.

If you had one wish you could make would you take it for your self or give it to a friend that needed it more?

[VMarie]

I would absolutely give it to a friend who needed it more. You have to be able to freely give as well as receive. I would see receiving the wish as a blessing because that meant I could help that friend in whatever way was best for them.

If you saw someone who you consider an enemy about to be hit by a car, would you try to push them out of the way, even if it meant injury for yourself?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

probably, but it might depend on the person, and the situation; for example, if I were pregnant I most likely would risk harm for anyone, except perhaps another child of mine; otherwise, i would like to think i'd try to help anyone, even with the chance of bodily harm, unless it was someone whose life I truely felt was of little value, in which case I would still try to help the person but not to the extent of risking myself.

What kind of home life would be your ideal?

[writerfreak]

Any but the one I live. I'd rather live in Frankfort with Rachel because my actual home life sucks and I'm so ready to move in with her. Tired of getting in arguments with that man everyday.

If you were in a burning building would you save 5 strangers or two family members?

[woahnellie]

I'd go with family members, family is important to me. And I've always gotten along with everyone in my family.

What would your dream job be?

[JustSkipIt]

Great question. Either doing what I do now but for an organization that feeds or clothes people or helping people clean out their houses and get organized. I know, two very different things.

Q. What is your favorite work of art (literature, painting, movie, music, etc. - anything)?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

that's hard, but since i just read it, i'm going to say The Age of Innocence.

if you could be talented in one and only one kind of art, what kind would you choose?

[woahnellie]

singing, i love to sing but i suck! lol

favorite show as a child?

[VMarie]

"You Can't Do That on Television" on Nickelodeon

What was your favorite toy as a child?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

a stuffed animal named Sheepy-Pillow

your form of a security blanket?

[writerfreak]

My security blanket, haha, I still have it in a box somewhere, is that bad. Its one my grandmother knit (knitted, I'm not sure the correct term) for me when I was a baby. Its done very appropriately in rainbow colors.

Do you remember your first best friend and if so are you still friends with that person?

[db]

I *do* remember my first best friend... but I moved away when I was 4 or 5 and we never stayed in touch... so no not still friends.

But my *second* best friend (and oldest friend) who I met in grade school I am still friends with. She just sent me a card with a picture of her ski-juring with her dog Winnie.

Do you remember the first pet you had? What was their name?

[tazraven]

Her name was Amber, and she was a golden retriever.

Who was your first crush?

[writerfreak]

That would be my dearest Addie, Goddess rest her soul, she was my first crush....my first love....my soulmate. She was everything.

Have you ever loved and lost someone you had a soul-based connection with? (doesn't have to be a lover or love interest)

[Sapphire eyes]

I believe so yes not lost in the sense of death thank goodness but he was truly my best friend and one of the most amazing people I have ever known in my life, I will never forget him and I hope he hasn't forgotten me. His name was Edd and I still think of him and miss him ( not in any way in the romantic sense just in a spiritual connected sense.) Sometimes the memories one can build with people they last forever and I think he contributed to my life in such a way that I still feel a gap for missing his friendship. I hope one day we will meet again and I think I know that we will somehow.

What would be your worst nightmare: finding yourself butt naked in front of everyone at your local store, or being chased by a giant mutant spider that was crawling all over your body?

[summer fairy]

To lose everything and everyone I have ever loved..

Whats the thing that would make you jump for joy and be dilariouse with happiness..?

[tazraven]

My girlfriend

What was one of the happiest moments in your life?

[summer fairy]

I have quite a few actually, I would say one of my favourites was when I was told that Sazki would be alright and that she had NOT got what my other two pups had got, and later died from! I was so relieved and very happy, I treasure everyday with Sazki, thats one reason why she is so special to me.

Same Q?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

one of the happiest moments of my life was also one of the worst: one night when i was horribly, horribly upset, a friend i was in love with tried to comfort me, and it didn't really make me feel any better, but at the same time it made realize that, although she wasn't IN love with me, she did love me as a friend, and just knowing that she wanted to take my pain away was one of the best feelings in the world.

in your opinion, what is the best feeling in the world?

[woahnellie]

Passion is the best feeling in the world.
"Passion... it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us, guides us... passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments; the joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank... without passion, we'd be truly dead.

What is your passion?

[writerfreak]

My passion.....I have so many things I'm passionate about. My answer would have to be life in general I guess. I've been told by people that I have a great love for life and a great understanding of it, the good and the bad. I'm passionate about loving with everything you have, I'm passionate about my writing, fiction and all the other little writings I do. I'm passionate about work, and family, my kids and my friends. I'm passionate about everything in my own little way.

What is the best thing in your opinion that you are passionate about?
