Getting to know you . . .

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by a phrase, but I would say: I love you forever and always, no matter what, and we'll both be okay. To me, that says everything.

What was your hardest goodbye, and why?

[Zooeys_Bridge]

My Grandfather, when he died. I don't think that needs further flushing out, seems pretty straightforward, right?

What are three things you detest most about stupid people?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Prejudice, inflexibility of beliefs, the idea that they know everything.

Was there ever something you knew was true, but couldn't bring yourself to believe?

[umgaynow]

That some people truly are evil

Would you rather be extremely intelligent or extremely well-liked?

[Floyd]

Extremely intelligent. I wouldn't sacrifice my thought process for all the friends in the world.

When you were a kid, what did you think you would be doing and where did you think you would be living by now?

[Paint the Sky]

When I was a kid I thought by the year 2000 everyone would be flying around in rocket cars - think Fifth Element, and I would be living on the moon.

To put all that in context, when I was a kid the year 2000 was like 30 years+ away, and I loved sci-fi like UFO and Captain Scarlet, so my imagination was fired up with this kind of thing.

Question: Someone tells a really juicy piece of gossip and prefixes it with 'Promise you won't tell a soul, but,...'

What do you do?

[umgaynow]

I'd probably forget that they ever told me like most everything else that I'm told these days

A squirrel is lying in the road hit by a car, still alive and moving but obviously seriously injured, what do you do?

[writerfreak]

Naturally take it to the nearest vet hospital. I have a major weakness for animals of all kinds.

If you had a choice to save one family member or ten strangers, which would you pick and why?

writerfreak-rdt

[jay/wt4evr]

At first I could tell you ten strangers cos they're more people, and if by family you mean dad mom eventually bro or sis..if you mean ANY family member then I'd probaably think about the gravity of the situation

If you were of the opposite sex, what you would be like?

[kisstheviolets]

i'd let everyone else die. it's really not that tough of a decision. that might make me a horrible person, but i'm okay with that.

ETA: i just missed that!

to answer jay's question... i'd probably be someone like myself now, but with smaller boobs! i think i'd be a classic looking type of dude... a cross between banana republic chic and abercrombie frat boyishness. i'd be a little nerdy, probably still an emotional wreck as i am now (a sensitive dude of the new millenium), and hopefully a little more athletic (what, boys aren't born with that?). i'd also be stronger than i am now, which isn't really saying much. and i'd probably be even more of a hornball than i am now! a total manwhore, for sure.


you have one hour alone with the person who killed the love of your life and you can do anything within that hour without any legal repercussions. what do you do with your time?

[writerfreak]

Probably exactly as I am now, just without the woman bits. I'm kinda butch so I don't think it would really make much of a difference.

You walk into a club and see the partner of your dreams, end up hanging out and clicking right away, flirting madly and get a phone number. Then you find out the person is married but in a bad marriage/relationship. What do you do?

writerfreak-rdt

[jay/wt4evr]

ktv, I'd probably ask them to kill me too
writerfreak, If she likes me enough but hasn't the boldness to divorce then I'd try to convince her, but if there are children....only if they know their parents don't get on well {ask for nothing huh?}

your hot teacher seems to like you, and you like her too, what now?

[Foomatic]

Honestly? I would do absolutely nothing and be content to admire from afar.


Your house is on fire. Assuming that any loved ones have made it safely out of the building, what three possesions would you take with you as you brave the flames and run to safety?

[writerfreak]

Been in that sitch before. I ended up with the teacher for a tiny bit, HOWEVER I was already 18 before my senior year when it happened, so it wasn't illegal, just immoral which is just as bad, but it didn't affect us on school grounds. There was definitely a separation when we were on school grounds that we had no problem with. That and we weren't in love.

What are your plans for the night?

writerfreak-rdt

[kisstheviolets]

foo: i'd probably grab a bin of pictures, my autographed OMWF poster and my votomatic from palm beach county florida (still full of gore chads). i'm assuming my cats can count as "loved ones" and i don't have to include their safe evacuation.

writerfreak: i'm meeting one of the new girls for drinks after work and then we're going to play it by ear from there for the rest of the night. she's got to watch her dog tonight (long story) so i have a feeling we're going to end up back at her place and pick up where the smooching last week left off.

what's your most prized, non-sentimental possession? something you just love for what it is, not because of any sappy story behind it.

[jay/wt4evr]

My clarinet. I, like, wroship it
what's the oddest object you love cos of some soppy story behind it?

[Foomatic]

The last thing my mom gave me before I moved out and went to college was a can of lemon tea snapple. I was driving up to San Francisco, and she handed me a bag of chips and the snapple for the ride up. I snarfed the bag of chips, but the snapple . . . I dunno, I developed a sentimental attachment to it, kinda symbolized my mom letting me go and me becoming an adult. It's probably all gross and moldy inside, because I never opened it. But then again, it could be like a fine wine, aged to perfection. It lives in my display case next to the mint condition Snoopy Snow Cone Maker.



You're walking down the street, and suddenly you get sucked into a vortex that deposits you in the middle of your favorite show. What show is it, and what episode are you in?

[chance]

Oh man...

Probably... Buffy, the Graduation episodes end of Season 3 if I can live on and go to college with them. No vampire bites for this one, I'll pull out all my super bad moves.


After you break up with someone, what of theirs are you most likely to still have a year later?

[kisstheviolets]

their girl-virginity. seriously, i've got so many toasters it's not funny. well, i guess it is, actually.

what do you think happens when you die? do you go somewhere? where?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I believe in reincarnation, that our souls return to this world again and again.

If you believed someone you cared about was lying to you in an attempt to protect themselves, what would you do?

[umgaynow]

probably get really pissed off and brood about it

When you are very angry, do you explode or go all quiet?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Quiet definitely. I completely shut down.

What is your dream job, and why?

[Lifty]

My dream job...hmmm, well, to make films mostly. I want to tell stories. I want to revamp the Australian film industry which is seriously lacking...everything...at the moment. Australia is a beautiful country, with beautiful people in it. On the side I'd enjoy to do portraiture, art, my own silly stuff. So far-fetched i know, but I'd enjoy it more than anything in the world.

Strangest dream you ever had that you remember?

[thiswomanswork]

The strangest dream I can remember was from oh, five or ten years ago. I dreamed that I was Speed Racer, and I was needed to do an epic race. The race was being held in hell, and so this very lovely succubus was guiding me down through hell to the race site. Hell was pretty much a giant urban wasteland. The dream pretty much consisted of walking through endless abandoned semi-urban vistas, following a railroad track. For months. The dream lasted months, and when I woke up I was dazed for hours about why only one night had passed.


If you could push a button and cause one person in the world to die (untraceable to you), would you use it, and if so on who?

[jay/wt4evr]

That's a pretty though question
I think I'd make a person about to kill {not for self defence, but to kill for pure pleasure} or to rape someone, cos sadly one person can't be the source of all the badness in this world, so let's pick the 'small' crimes to start

{this isn't meant to offend anyone}
If you could teleport back into time and discover how the world was created {therefore if any God exists} would you do it? and why?

[gorn]

A: Yes, I would do it, and I would make sure They (whomever "They" might be) got it right this time.

B: Who was your favourite muppet, and why?

[Zooeys_Bridge]

I saw a funny article about the top 10 cartoon characters who just need to come out of the closet already. Naturally, Kermit was on the list(hello, Rainbow Connection and It's Not Easy Being Green?) for many reasons, plus he's a wonderful character. Kermit might as well be a person. Love him.

But I also like Fozzy, because his jokes are awful, but he's sweet and can't cut a break.

What's a really good embarassing story from High School?

[writerfreak]

Well, it wasn't good to me, I was humiliated at the time, but now looking back on it I can laugh. I was dating this girl and she was really really closeted. No one except our close friends knew we had ever even met really, which is odd in a small town. Our junior year it started getting out. It was probably around the middle of the school year getting cold out when one day she came up and started screaming at me in the hallway about some stupid rumors and shit. It was a crazy day thats for damn sure. That and she had like ten of her friends behind her. Even though I never even made a move to get up, she knew I wouldn't hit her. She embarrassed the hell out of me, in a huge way, in front of the whole school. Needless to say we broke up that day, but the funniest part is she kept coming back for like two years. Definitely that was my most embarrassing high school moment though.

What is the one thing you want to do more than anything else?

writerfreak-rdt

[gorn]

Play my Nintendo Wii.

Q: What is your favourite book that was originally written in a language other than your native one?

[thiswomanswork]

The Athenian Murders, originally published in Spanish as La caverna de las ideas. I can safely call it one of the creepiest, most mind-blowing books I've ever read in my life.

You get a full scholarship to any school you choose. What do you decide to study?
