Getting to know you . . .

[thiswomanswork]

Any noncivilized culture gets my vote.

Favourite modern culture (or subculture)?

[Pinocchio1940]

Italian culture (Nutcrackers, Marionettes)

Favorite artform?

[thiswomanswork]

That would put us back into swords again... but I'll restrain myself to things more often considered 'art'. So... classical sculpture.

What sport do you find most entertaining to watch?

[Pinocchio1940]

Unfornately, none.

Favorite Sci - FI Character?

[thiswomanswork]

Gotta go with The Doctor.

Favourite novel (or series of same)?

[Pinocchio1940]

The Indian in the Cupboard series by Lynn Reid Banks
Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

Any fictional characters that bring you inspiration? (More than one if possible.)

[thiswomanswork]

Umm, yeah! Lots! ((laughs)) If I had to make a list of all the characters that inspire me, I'd be here all day. So I'll go with a few of the more prominent:

The Doctor, Wonder Woman, Willow Rosenberg, Tara Maclay, Cordelia Chase, Kwai Chang Caine, Vicky Austin, Charles Wallace Murray, Meg Murray, Leeloo Dallas, Katchoo, Tenjou Utena, Himemiya Anthy, the angel Kaworu... umm, I figure that's enough.

So... any characters you particularly identify with?

[Pinocchio1940]

Aha! This is what I was waiting for.

Nate, Claire, and David Fisher and Federico Diaz (Six Feet Under)
Geordi La Forge and Data (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris, and Tara Maclay (Buffy)

Favorite "Kitten" Game?

[thiswomanswork]

This one, I think.

Favourite 'Kitten' authors?

[woahnellie]

i'd have to go with Justskipit since I read her fics first, also the Ju, and Dlline. All the kittens are fantabulous writers though and it's hard to pick just one.

Do you believe in the paranormal and have you had any experiences?

[thiswomanswork]

I'm personally very much against believing in anything. However, I have had paranormal experiences.

What sort of paranormal phenomenon most interests you?

[woahnellie]

full body apparitions and evp's are the most interesting. i did see a shadow figure once in the house i grew up. and i don't know if this counts. but the night my uncle passed away (he was a chef) a burning smell came through our house. and other family members seemed to experience at their place too.

Describe your paranormal experience?

[thiswomanswork]

Hmm. I've seen and felt some sort of apparitions, heard footsteps going up and down my stairs (I don't live there anymore), had mysterious photographs literally appear in my house at a time and place that it was completely impossible for them to have gotten there, seen a book levitating, seen my cat levitate, and frequently had scratches appear on my body from out of nowhere.

Paranormally speaking, my teenage years and early twenties were pretty wild. :/

Are there any sorts of paranormal phenomenon that you think are just hoaxes?

[woahnellie]

i used to think demonic possession was. and i'm still iffy about it. i've read some cases but with different type of mental health issues it's really hard to believe in.

Do you like scary movies and which is your fave?

[JujuDeRoussie]

I don't like them because I don't like to jump out of my skin
But there is one I love it's the Exorcist.


What is your favorite musical comedy?

[Zooeys_Bridge]

Because I saw a funny youtube clip ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=_GGGAJ_2TvQ), Avenue Q.

Red wine or white?

[thiswomanswork]

White, in most cases. Though to be honest I've only had wine 2 or 3 times in my life, so my opinion there doesn't have a lot behind it.

What is your favourite alcoholic drink?

[hondos]

Anything and everything which is why I can't do it anymore LOL


What is the most romantic movie you have ever seen?

[thiswomanswork]

Wow, now this is a question!

I think that 'Playing by Heart' is still FTW there. Although 'My Date with Drew' gets major points for being a real-life romantic story.

At what age did you lose your virginity?

[hondos]

I havent yet.


I dont even believe that...LOL fifteen

(Also I love Gillian Anderson by the way Playing by heart...)


Where did you go on your first real date

[thiswomanswork]

Do you know, I don't even remember. Some nice-but-not-super-nice restaurant, I'm sure.

See, it was so long ago, and when I started 'dating' someone at the time it mostly amounted to hanging out a lot... actual dates were sort of... unimportant somehow. So, long and short of it, it didn't stick in my mind. Ahh, to be young again.

Do you think love is about something more than just chemistry, or is biology all it is?

[Lifty]

well, i believe that it's more than just chemistry. I think there's a lot more. Say for instance, if you're religious, christian we'll say, well, the love they have with their god is not chemical at all, it goes to a spiritual level, and i think it can be the same for two human beings. This is also where the 'soulmate' idea fits in, because the connection between these two people is something much more than simple biology.

What was the last thing you said to the person you loved?

[thiswomanswork]

Goodbye. :/

(good answer, btw)

Have you ever been in love with more than one person at once?

[Lifty]

Yep, but with one of the people it was more a feeling of love/hate, which totally screwed me up. Thanks for liking the answer


Can you get clingy in a relationship? (i can)

[thiswomanswork]

If I get insecure about something relationship-wise for some reason, yeah, I tend to cling.

Do you have a physical 'type' or 'types' that you usually or particularly go for? If so, what?

[Lifty]

kind of; i tend to like naturally blond hair. not sure why. but really, im not that fussy,

do you believe that opposites attract?

[thiswomanswork]

Well, I've never noticed any particular truth to the phrase in my own life. On the other hand, when people see someone that does things so drastically different than they do, I can see where they might see in that person a sort of escapist fantasy, which might add to any attraction they might feel...

Honestly, though, I really don't know.

How far would you go on a first date?

[Lifty]

hmmm depends. Probably not too far. Defo's not all the way

How far would you go on a first date?

[thiswomanswork]

I'd definitely kiss, if there was some sort of spark there. I doubt I'd go beyond that, though, unless possibly it was someone I'd known a long time & trusted, like an old friend that had become more or something. Then, maybe more. But probably just the kissing.

On that note, how long do you feel it takes to really get to know someone?

[Lifty]

hmmmmm, i recon it takes about a year of really good time spent together, maybe longer, because in a relationship people still hold secrets from each other, and it takes a while to build that trust.


Do you think there's a point in a really strong relationship (not nessesarily romantic) where two people become sick of each other? need a break?
