I like Sims 2 :D

What do you look for in a partner/spouse?

I like Sims 2 :D

What do you look for in a partner/spouse?

Haha, the Sims 2 is funny.

Anyway, I, as a guy, am shallow and definitely look for looks. :p (sorry to have to admit it!)
Personality is always better though to be honest. Looks and good personality means a lucky catch!

First stand the look and afterwards the personality. I have a girl in my class , she looks good but she is dumer then a block... But when you chose a girldriend , when you fell in love both of those facts are ate the same place.

I like Sims 2 :D

What do you look for in a partner/spouse?

hehe! Spend enough time talking to Dan and you will figure it out :p He is everything I look for in a partner/spouse. :redface:

What do you look for in a partner/spouse?

While I do want someone that is attractive, I'm fine with dating someone who only has average looks if we have a similar sense of humor.

So far? Just someone who's the right gender and orientation. I have yet to succeed.

Intelligence. Compassion. A sense of humor.

Well, I've never looked for anything particular. I don't have any ideas of appearance or personality that my spouse should have.

The thing is, I want us to feel comfortable together, like alone but together. I want him to love me more than anything else in the world, and think what's best for me. That's what I do, and in a relationship, I expect the same in return.

Other than that, I just want someone who can really challenge my mind and with whom I can talk about anything and everything there is to talk about.

Personalities and appearances are rather trivial to me if the other person is willing to let me close. :)

Luckily, I'm married to a man who thinks I'm precious. :)

Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously.

very much younger lessa.
money looks car.

older wiser lessa.
looks, personality, sense of humour, vehicle.

for you guys wanting looks in your woman
see what her mother looks like.
very often she will end up similarly in size, and personality.

Would you proof read a friends essay for them or tell them to do it themselves?

I'd proof read it, but do it with them.

I'd proof read it, but do it with them.

Ditto. No point correcting errors and not explaining why.

I am guilty of proof reading for a friend.....I know, but she was behind and really needed my help. She received an A...:D

I'd make sure they were there as I did so, but yes, I would. I like doing people favors, because then they owe me. (Aren't I just a kind soul?)

I will proofread under certain conditions. If it is a test, or a competitive submission, I won't touch it. But an ordinary assignment, I'll point out SPAG errors, but won't correct them globally. I'll point out sentence and paragraph structural issues, or offer suggestions, but leave the changes for them to do.

I was in team-based classes over the last couple of years, so this is not just hypothetical. We often looked over each other's individual papers for proofing, as well as collaborating on the team projects.

I definitely would if they were there and also if they would do the same for me, not just using me for help. I'd tell them spag corrections but otherwise I wouldn't directly say what to change, I'd suggest something like "that paragraph may be confusing because of where it is in the essay" or similar and leave them to it so they can work on it themselves.

Do you put your trousers on left leg then right, or right leg then left?

lol - I jump in to them with both legs at the same time. :D

Left leg then right I think, although it could possibly be random - I'd have to watch out and check :)

lol - I jump in to them with both legs at the same time. :D
that reminds me of some very drunken activities with a group of friends and a pair of really huge pants attached to a wash line....and some very painful bruises the following day....:rolleyes:

I always go right to left. Don't know why, just always have. Though I've been known to go from left to right before today!

LOL this is definitely one of the most random questions you have come up with thus far FantasyWitch! LOL :p

that reminds me of some very drunken activities with a group of friends and a pair of really hugs pants attached to a wash line....and some very painful bruises the following day....:rolleyes:

LOL!

I can just imagine it - a cross between high jump and precision diving... :)

LOL!

I can just imagine it - a cross between high jump and precision diving... :)

yeah...that is the best description anyone could ever come up with. Do NOT try it people...it gives atomic wedgies for one, and too many very painful bumps and bruises....seriously it hurts!

Left leg into right pants leg. Right leg into left pants leg. Stop. Frown. Remove pants, my right leg first. Try again with same results. On third try, left leg into left pants leg. Right leg into right pants leg. Stand up. Pull pants up and button closed. Take three steps. Pull pants up again. Find and wear belt.

Two hours later, notice the zipper is still down. Clandestinely, and carefully, pull zipper up.

Shirt? How did I forget the shirt?

uhm...Right to Left.

Interesting, though very random, question..:D

I'm pretty sure I'm random. I just go with the flow. The, uh, Great Pants Wearing Flow.
I can imagine it now:
It's the ciiiircle of pants
And it wears us allll...

Do you put your trousers on left leg then right, or right leg then left?


Left leg first.

Socks go on before pants, BTW. :D

I'd say right before left... maybe? I can't remember, I don't pay that much attention when I dress myself! :p

awww so I'm boring?!!! Now that's just making me wanna be saked lol

Right leg first...I think?? I tried to check, but now that I'm thinking about it, I can't tell!

Ha, i do them both at the same time. woohoo.

hmmm. right leg. yeah. i think. yup. right leg, for sure.

If Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs where are the teddy bears?

If Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs where are the teddy bears?

In yo base! Killin' yo mans! (it's a dumb internet joke)

If Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs where are the teddy bears?


At the Teddy Bear Picknick? :redface:

In hot pursuit! They will get those bananas, and their pretty pajamas too!

Wrey, you were too quick for me :p

Since Wrey got to it before me, I'm going to say on the phone to the police because the Bananas in Pyjamas broke their restraining orders again!

They also broke curfew by hanging out in a bunch.

Oh, Cogito, how could you produce such a fruity pun?
Alas!

Oh, Cogito, how could you produce such a fruity pun?
Alas!

A bad pun is returned with a worse one! :p

What can I say? It appeeled to me.

What can I say? It appeeled to me.

Just try not to slip up on it again.

I'm plantain my feet firmly, I stand resolutely in favor of puns.

You think you're so amusaing, don't you?

Oh the agony! When will it stop? :p

What is your favourite comedy show?

My Family :D

Family Guy.

It's a tie between South Park and The Office

Family Guy and Aqua Teen Hunger Force...Oh and I love Frisky Dingo, too...Kill Face just...well, kills me..:D LOL!

Not traditional...but they are the closest to the question. :p

The Office :)

God's Plan (and it's multi-dimensional too!). What a hoot!

Corner Gas for sure.

Scrubs

If you could reincarnate into anything (religion aside :P ) what would it be?

A cat! So I could be pampered and petted and fed good food on a velvet cushion!

Haha, I'd be a dog. Same reasons, but dogs are just cooler. :D

I'd be reincarnated into an extraterrestrial being who visits Earth and has the memory of being me as a Human.

A dolphin, before mechanical boats hit the scene.

A rock. Cause that way I don't have to worry about doing anything stupid and shaming myself ever again. :p bahahahahahaha!
Or a grain of sand. Just because you could literally travel the world. You are stomped on and carted all over the place. Imagine the wonders you would see if you were a grain of sand.

Plus I don't feel that anyone on this earth deserves to come back as anything other than a grain of sand or a rock.

Until you're sucked up into a vacuum, transported to a factory and made into a stain-glass window. Then you get to spend the rest of your days listening to very long and tame sermons at a Catholic church.

Hmm...a horse, I think. I've always wondered what galloping around as a horse (instead of ON the horse) feels like. And I'd want to be owned by a little girl. They take the best care of horses and feed them peppermints and carrots! :)

A member of the Q Continuum. What a way to travel the universe and study it, and I could be surrounded by others far more arrogant than I am! ;)

However, since they are not incarnate, that may not be a valid choice. So my other choice would be a Timelord.

a cat 'cos they are apiffy as. :)

But what if you were right next to a confessional? Think of the drama and sin! Also maybe the great choir concert every week.

What is your favourite male name and female name?

Serenity or Imoen for a girl
and
Khalid or Brendon for a boy

Nienna for a girl.
Thomas for a boy.

At the moment. :)

Vinny for a boy and Katherine for a girl.

Dan for a guy, Charlie (as in Charlotte) for a girl.

Dan for a guy, Charlie (as in Charlotte) for a girl.

You have good taste! :)

Favorite girl name (and my daughter's name) is Charlotte Anne, but we call her Charley (pronounced Shar-ley, not Charlie)

Favorite boy name is Graham Matthew.

Other than my childrens names, I love the name Zirdera Beckaney for a girl and Rion for a boy.

You have good taste! :)

Favorite girl name (and my daughter's name) is Charlotte Anne, but we call her Charley (pronounced Shar-ley, not Charlie)

Favorite boy name is Graham Matthew.

Thank you! Although, I pronounce it "Charlie" in my head, as in Brown.
With a name like that, a girl's bound to grow up strong and self-reliant, like the inverse of A Boy Named Sue.
Plus, it's just cool.

Christopher for a boy.

Christine for a girl.

What is your favourite male name and female name?

Grace and Andrew

Oh....my favorite for a...

Male ~ Garret

Female ~ Gabrielle

What would you do if you had only 5 mins left to live and you could do whatever you wanted for those five mins?

Go skinny dipping with my boyfriend

Anything? Gather all my friends and family members together and have a party. :) I would like to tell everyone how precious they are. The last minute I would save for my husband. I would tell him how happy I've been and how happy he can be after I'm gone. Don't you worry. You'll live on. ^_^

Spend it with my children and wife.

What would you do if you had only 5 mins left to live and you could do whatever you wanted for those five mins?
Only five minutes ......? I would sit and put on some more make-up so that way I feel fantastic when I die. :p

Honestly, I know this sounds cheesy as, but I would sit and write my last thoughts, just incase someone finds it in years to come and is even slightly interested in the last thoughts of an idiot. :)

I'd tell everyone I'm going, sit down with the bass, and play a last melody. (seriously, thinking about this depresses me beyond belief)

I would write a post where Gregor kills off Brenda and John. (A lot more funny if you read the RPG Out Of Their Minds).

Seriously, I would spend it with my wife and son.

Send out a quick mass message that I'm gonna die, and then listen to some good music.

Tell everyone how I really feel about them, so they know. As well as do something completely irresponsible, I don't know what but it would have to be good.

Oh, that reminds me: I would be listening to music while climbing the local water tower.
Because I've always wanted to!

I wouldn't do anything, just sit down on a sofa wearing something nice, call some people, and die.

Is there a proper way to put the toilet role on the holder? Like this:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k220/FantasyWitch/w003.jpg
So you pull it from the front or the other way so you can pull it from behind?

Front pull, so the paper hangs away from the wall, and so the tear point is not behind the roll.

Such a detailed discription of toilet roll! lol Cogito :P

As long as there is toilet paper - I'm good.

Always on the front! Otherwise you can't see what you're doing. :p

Depends on if there are kitties in the house. From the front in a non-kitties house. From the back in a kittie house. :D

You should pull it away from the wall. :D

If you could do ANY job in the world what would it be? (writing aside :p )

english teacher, though atm god. Then i could make ami better and we could go home in 3 hours time.

Teacher of creativity. :)

Well Grand Emperor of Earth is pretty awesome... But aside from that, probably Viper pilot.


(why yes- I have overdosed on Battlestar Galactica this afternoon :) Thank you for noticing)

I would most likely work as a Medical Examiner. The whole process of life and death is quite fascinating. :)

(Extremely successful) actor.

A Naturalist probably, maybe a Park Ranger. Always seemed like it would be a fun job.

I would love to work with JPL on developing the probes we send to other planets for research and exploration.

Definitely a film director. But I'm not wishing, I will have that job.

What tv shows TOTALLY rub you up the wrong way?

I hate reality tv! Big Brother most of alll *glares* it's such a pointless way of exploiting humans when they are at there worst.

What tv shows TOTALLY rub you up the wrong way?

I hate reality tv! Big Brother most of alll *glares* it's such a pointless way of exploiting humans when they are at there worst.

I concur. But there is an easy solution. Simply leave these people in the house/jungle/whatever, and call down an airstrike on the location. Problem solved. It would also make good viewing :)

I also loathe those police chase shows from America.

What tv shows TOTALLY rub you up the wrong way?


Ermmm .... really anoying over the top American ones where everyone is all hyper. That applies for daft kiddie ones where the presenters are idiots.

Definitely American reality shows.

Amen to that! "Reality" shows are the non-nutrative filler the networks reverted to during the Writers' Guild strike, because they are all mindless noise and no substance, and easy to churn out.

Game shows, reality shows, all of them are for money, and shows like Deal Or No Deal show how corrupt and greedy America really is, that new show, Wipeout, sure it's fun watching people "wiping out" but what's the point? It's the same thing over and over and over and over.

I am no fan of reality television, as I believe I have already ranted on about earlier on, lol. :redface:

I also quite dislike Kelsey Grammer's new sit-com, Back To You - such a disappointing step down... >_>

As it is with everyone else it seem, REALITY SHOWS really disgust me. Tila Tequila is the epitome of rock-bottom sh*t programming.

Reality shows here too...although I shamefully must admit that I still watch every single season of The Bachelor/The Bachelorette.

If you could be critiqued by ANY author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be?

Tolkien.

C S Lewis (Not for the Narnia series, but because of the Screwtape Letters.)

If you could be critiqued by ANY author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be?

I am not sure with this one .... it depends on what sort of writing I am doing. Maybe Shakespeare, ust to see what he has to say on it. :p

Terry Pratchett. There's a man whose opinions I could use- and who I think would be nice enough not to crush my soul giving them.
Plus, just the chance to communicate with him- glee!

Larry Niven. I've always enjoyed his work, both content and style.

Can you arrange it? ;)

Stephen King... any praise from him would have to mean I was dreaming. :p

Terry Pratchett. :) Definitely.

Myself. Now that might sound stupid, but the fact is that i would like to be able to read something i have written and have a opinion on it. Of course without knowing it was mine.

If you could be critiqued by ANY author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be?



Edgar Allen Poe, would have to be my first choice. Why? Because of his style of writing. I don't personally like a great deal of his work, but I have noticed that I tend to write similar to his style of poetry writing <not the same at all, just similar in the way we use imagery>. So it would be nice to have him critique a poem of mine, just because I know that he would most definitely be able to understand the piece for exactly what it is and not come back at me saying what most people tend to say about the piece.

The only other person has already critiqued my work and has greatly helped me with understanding poetry more, and to be able to find my own unique style of poetry writing. That is Frost, well that is his member name here anyway.

I think therefore I am what?

I think therefore I am what?

a woman :p

a husband.

I'm sure the phrase should be "I shrink therefore I am"...

But anyway. I think therefore I am...me. How boring.

I think, therefore I am real. Everything else may be illusion, in which case my task is to find the inconsistency that makes the illusion unravel, revealing the true universe.

Thinking.

Still sane.

If you could be a a character in any book for one day who would it be and explain why!

Odd Thomas or Twoflower. I like insanity.

Possibly Dexter Morgan, or Hannibal Lecter, if I'm feeling particularly anti-social. Murdering people would be fun :)


Otherwise Roland Deschain of Gilead, because the whole gunslinger thing is just awesome.

I've answered this before somewhere on here... on the forum that is!

I chose Jess out of Shutterbug. Why? Because she faced quite an ordeal in the story, and even though things got really difficult for her, she kept going. In the end she came out a stronger person. I can't word it properly at the moment because my brain has gone to mush.... but I am sure you get what I mean. the end!

Samwise Gamgee. He's a bit daft, but through it all he remained untouchably true and on course. He was the only one to hold the ring and not feel the lure of evil.

God from the Bible.



Come on who hasn't wanted to be God for just a few minutes?

Nice one Domo.
I'd be Clark from Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. He's the head of the operation, and I would like to know what it feels like, because that should be interesting right? Besides, he's a brilliant guy.

Sorry, Tor, my love...

But do you remember the ending of the book?

Click! Whir!

Hehe ;)

Sorka from the pern series.
she was on a brand new planet (so it had a few problems)
she had lots of children.
She got to ride with dragons.
And she didn't have to do housework.
husband children dragons no housework.
what could be better than that.

Um, one of those kids in a text book because then I'd be smart. :p

Sorry, Tor, my love...

But do you remember the ending of the book?

Click! Whir!

Hehe ;)
Oh I remember the ending all too well! And loved it! :D
I would say why I feel she came out of it stronger, but in doing so I would ruin the book for others! :p

I have to say I liked that Sam Gamgee idea. Simple yet appreciative.

What is your opimnion on teen crime? Who is to blame and what-not?

teen crime can be blamed on a number of people, personally I think that it is the government to blame.

You can't blame the government for teens being out of control. You can't blame anyone except for the one doing the crime. I would say no one is holding a gun to their heads and making them do it, but it has happened before...

But seriously, it is the one doing the crime that is to blame. Society has to stop blaming everyone else for someone's lack in judgement. We all know right from wrong and that wrongful actions have conesequences. I firmly believe that you can't really blame anyone except for the person doing the crime. At the end of the day, it is their choice wether or not to commit a crime. Their parents and the government haven't told them that they have to do it. The perpetrator has decided upon themselves to commit a crime and so they are fully to blame for their own actions. People need to stop laying blame because they want reasons for youth, etc. committing a crime. It only encourages them to do it all the more because society stands back and says "Oh you poor thing. The government is to blame for your behaviour." or "This is because your parents didn't bring you up properly. They are the ones that need punishing. Here you go, have a free ride in life." Get over it. They did the crime, they are responsible for their own actions. No one else!

Um, call me old-fashioned, but I think the one who decides to commit the crime is to blame. Not television, or video games, or the Internet, or hybrid corn.

EDIT: Eeek! Torana, get outa my head! ;)

If a person is old enough to know right from wrong...then they are old enough to be held responsible for any crime that they commit...Bottom Line.

Too often the burden of guilt is shouldered onto someone else; it seems that fewer people take responsibility for mistakes made. It is quite sad...how can they ever learn to make better choices when it is easy to pass the blame?

I agree that teen crime should be blamed on the teens themselves. By the time you're a teenager, you should know basic rights from wrongs. No one is really forced into crime, either. I don't buy that. So peer pressure or influence from peers is not a valid excuse to justify a teenager committing crimes, I'm sorry. You basically have a choice in almost every scenario, so you yourself are responsible for what you get yourself into.

Oh, and I would say it's not the government's fault at all.

Teen crime is definitely the own teen's fault. They know right from wrong, so there's no excuse.

Whta is your favourite sport? (if any) and if you have one how is it special to any other sport?

Tai-Kwon-Do is my sport! I love it and it's so special to me because it helps me with my temper and its a good disipline.

T'ai Chi. It is special to me because it is one of the few constants in my life and it helps me forget the world around me. It is like a mini vacation from reality.

My favourite sport, would have to be Equestrian. I find it is the most relaxing and rewardng sport. It is truly amazing when the rider and the horse become one. The rider being the horses eyes, and the horse, the riders legs. I used to ride, show, train and break in horses all the time. It was truly amazing, rewarding and fulfilling. I really miss it!

Aikido. There is a flow, and precision, and economy of movement to it that I haven't found in other martial arts.

Or perhaps snorkelling. It's like another world when you slip down below the surface. It's not silent, but the sounds are alien. I've been snorkelling since I was about 5 years old, so much that I didn't even think of it as a sport when I first saw the question.

Biking is more of a way of life to me than a sport, but it comes close to counting, so I'll go with it.
Biking. Efficient and good for ya!

Horseback riding is probably my favorite sport...Especially show jumping. It's exhilarating to fly over jumps on the back of a horse!

Torana - I didn't know you used to ride! :) I did too and I miss it so much. I wish I had the money to afford it still.

I agree. Equestrian is pretty awesome. It's one of the only times you can't rely on words to figure out what others want. You get to use your real "sixth sense." But I also enjoy kayaking, rock climbing, volleyball, and swimming.

You could say I like to be outdoors.

Daddy or chips? :p

6 years actually. Our last horse was horse ruslted, she was worth around $20,000. I'll never get back into the sport again now. But I do miss it, greatly.


Daddy or chips? :p


Chips of course :p

But daddy can buy you chips :p

Daddy!!!

Chips taste better than daddy...

Chips taste better than daddy...

:eek:

Daddy, I guess. Healthier than chips.

Chips, without question. Even buffalo chips.

What is your opimnion on teen crime? Who is to blame and what-not?
I honesly think that yea, teen crime is bad and stuff, obviously, but there is too much blame being pointed on a miniority of teens doing the crime. Also, having had discussions with people from various generations, teens have always broke laws and did things wrong, it just varies what exactly it is they are doing.

Whta is your favourite sport? (if any) and if you have one how is it special to any other sport?

Ermm ... perhaps skiing, because that is one of the very few sports I enjoyed doing for long periods of time.
Daddy or chips?
Daddy buys me things so he has to win that one :p

Daddy for me :D I Love my Daddy because I can wrap him around my little finger!

Definitely Daddy. Daddy's little girl, right here!

What type of question is that?

what kind of chips...?

British chips. You yanks call them "fries".

*giggles at the word "yanks" hehehehe*

Do you believe in ghosts and such?

I do not. I do believe in the human ability to anthropomorphise unexplained sensory glitches, and I believe it's comforting to believe in continuing to exist and function on some level after death (with all apologies to anyone whose religious beliefs were just trod upon).

Do you believe in ghosts and such?

What do you mean by '....and such?'

I do believe in Satan, demons and the like to exist. I do believe in afterlife, thus the existence of spirits which in turn are to be brought to consciousness after death. I do not believe in spirits one Earth after death. This is my unshakable belief, regardless of what anyone else thinks. However, I meant no offense.

Do you believe in ghosts and such?

I think its possible that ghosts exist, but I'm skeptical of most peoples claims that they have seen them.

I'll figure it out when I die.

Do you believe in ghosts and such?
Nope.

I believe in spiritual warfare...that there are good/bad forces (angels and demons) fighting a battle around us all the time, and that they will continue fighting until the second coming of Christ.

I don't believe that ghosts or the spirits of people who have died stick around here after death.

Lets talk about cheese! Who likes Cheese?

Mm. I eat far more cheese than is healthy for me. Quesadillas, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, pizza, etc.
I, for one, consider any meaty sandwich without cheese to be not worth eating.

mmm! I love cheese :) Especially provolone!

Cheeeeeese! Lol. I like red leicester. And Brei. And mozzarella :D

o_O I like cheese. :)

Brie is awesome - I was once given a bunch of cheeses that had taken places in a showing. There was almost everything, from cheese flavoured with lavander to the most mouth watering triple cream brie... *Homer Simpson drool*

I like cheese.

I was a bit cheesed off last night, though, when I entered the supermarket with a specific meal in mind. I wanted to tuck a slice of Fontina cheese along with a couple of pepperoni slices into a slit in a thick pork chop, and grill it with applewood smoke. But the %#%&$^*% store had no Fontina! So I didn't even buy the pork chops, and opted for a strip steak instead - good, but not what I had in mind.

I mostly prefer cheeses made with cow's milk, or occasionally sheep's milk. Goat cheeses tend to remind me of overly rank gym lockers, although I have also had goat cheese used well as an accent for something else.

My favorite cheeses for general use are aged Provolone. pepper Jack, Muenster, Mozzarella, well aged Parmesan, Danish Bleu, and Gruyere. I used to like Cheddars, but most of them I've encountered in recent years have lacked character. Gone are the bitingly sharp, crumbly "rat trap" Cheddars I grew up with, and would nibble upon along with apple pie and a scoop of good vanilla ice cream.

Yes, I like cheese.

Gone are the bitingly sharp, crumbly "rat trap" Cheddars I grew up with...


I remember that kind of Cheddar! Where did they go? They would be so sharp as to evoke that nerve tweek just behind where your mandible connects to the rest of your face. You know the spot! :rolleyes:


Edit~ Forgot to answer the question. Yes, I like cheese! :D (said in Wallace's voice with my curled fingers in the air)

Lets talk about cheese! Who likes Cheese?
I like cheese, cheddar the best. And Philidelphia, I had some on crackers last night.

I would just like to say that I am of the belief that God invented parmesan cheese specifically for chicken parmigiana.

Ummm - Chicken Parmagiana is made with Mozzarella. Chicken Parmagiana and Parmesan chees both orininate from Parma, but that is really the only connection between them (although I do like some shredded Parmesan on top of Chicken Parmagiana :))

I...I've been lied to! By my parents! All my life! *breaks down in tears*

(Disclaimer: By 'lied to', the author really means 'so ignorant and lazy that he never actually bothered to check if the cheese in that great-tasting concoction was really Parmesan.')

Thanks for helping me out, Cogito. ;)

Gee, now I'm hungry and there's no lovely cheese of any kind in the house except that really strange looking stuff they sprinkle on frozen pizza. Alas, beggars can't be choosers.

I'm white, of course I love cheese. I really like sharp cheddar cheese or horse radish though.

If you were forced to listen to one type of music all day that would completely torture you, what would it be?

Is crazy frog a genre of music?

I guess that chavvy dance stuff which is just a random arrangement of noises. Or the version of the Top Gear theme played by car engines, which I heard on a rerun today. Though that was quite funny :p

I guess mine would be Regeton. I hate it, but at least you can dance to it.


What is chavvy? :confused:

In the style of chavs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav).

If you were forced to listen to one type of music all day that would completely torture you, what would it be?
Stuff where people just screech at you, where you canno make out a word they are saying.

And I happen to like "chavvy" dance music, it is the sort of things you listen to at nightclubs. Unless of course Banzai is on about rave, which again, I quite like.

Hehe, each to their own :p

Ludwig Von's Ninth, over and over as I'm forced to watch violent scenes while strapped into a seat with my eyelids clamped open--

Oh, sorry. That was a flashback to A Clockwork Orange.

Screamo. That stuff where you can't understand what in the WORLD they're saying, and then you look it up and it's nothing worth saying anyway, and dear God that vocalist doesn't even sound human, and where there's no rhythm or melody because everything is just BRAAAAAAAAAAR for seven minutes straight.

Noise Rap.

I'm fine with rap, but I hate Noise music. The two combined just hurts my ears.

If your loved one hadn't been in contact for 48 hours and there phone wasn't working what would you do?

The same thing you're doing. Because I'm a hypocrite :p

*cuddles*

lmao your so sweet banzai :P I may have to kill you for it. We can't have the ruler of earth sweet! It just doensn't work like that!

I'm ruler of earth, I say how it works! :p

If your loved one hadn't been in contact for 48 hours and there phone wasn't working what would you do?

hrm... well I don't have his phone number, so it really doesn't matter. But I would leave him an email. Seems the logical thing to do in my situation... ;) hehe!

In my circumstances - I'd call the police. lol. ;)

Well, the way I work, I'd have already been to the police and checked all the hospitals in the area.

...and I don't know what I'd do after that. Probably curl up and cry.

If your loved one hadn't been in contact for 48 hours and there phone wasn't working what would you do?
LMAO, I take the chance to have a bit of peice and quite. But if he hadn't got in contact after about four days, I'd phone his home phone and ask his nana, or try to contact his cousin.

If your loved one hadn't been in contact for 48 hours and there phone wasn't working what would you do?

When my parents did that to me (phone of the hook for TWO DAYS AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE) and they didn't check their e-mail either, I phoned the police on them.

When I did it to my parents, dead internet and sick so I didn't want to go outside to an internet bar, my Mom sent about 24 e-mails asking where I was. She probably would have called the police, but not speaking Chinese and not know how to pronounce my address, and not know how to call the Nanjing police, that was a minor problem.

Do you have a pet? And what is it called if yes?

I have a daft dog called pepsi and 2 forgetful fih called Starmie and Staru and a rabbit called Dumbledore (I didn't name him!)

My son has a dog called Cretin :p hehe! Ami has a finch called Fird. She always changes his name! lol! Typical! <shakes head> Her budgie's name is Terry, but she calls him poppy bird, cause he popped her balloon. lol!

I have a brother named Andrew... *shrugs*

I'm not around enough throughout the day to keep a pet. It would not be fair to the animal, which would surely be a dog.

But I helped raise my girlfriend's Golden Retriever, Rusty. He still goews completely nuts when he sees me, wagging so hard he loses his footing and falls over.

I have a cute little black dog called Tola. She is really big boned, and has a flat back (I can balance a drink on it). She looks like a little black lab puppy too, even though she's a full grown dog.

I had a min-pin for a few months, but I think he was genuinely crazy. He was a gift from my boyfriend’s brother, and after some sleuthing on my part I determined that Zuko (the crazy min-pin) had a rather over-close family tree. One of his Zuko’s cousins, belonging to one of William’s other brothers, has doubled paws on both front legs. She get’s along just fine, but, well, I think you get the picture…

We had to give Zuko back in the end.

I have three miniature dachshunds - Riley, Sammy, and Sophie.

I have the world's awesomest, dumbest black lab. Her name's PJ. Stands for Pinky Java. Long story.

We also have a fish tank with a ridiculously high turnover rate. I tell my dad to stop getting fish, but there's no use- he's a serial killer.

I have one cat, Skunk (who is more important to my mom than I am), four dogs (sort of...we're trying to get one to go away), Mickey, Cocoa, Bell, and Mollie aka Trashbag. Two horses Butter and Baby, and two horse fetuses lol B2 and horse fetus.

I have an orange and white tabby named Mick.

I have two cats (named Priss and Cleopatra), two dogs (named Princess and daisy), a bird (named Pretty Bird), and some fish.

When you are ill (like me :'( ) what do you do to make yourself feel more positive?

Watch my favorite DVD's.


(Feel better Fantasy)

Drink lots of Sprite and watch cartoons I'm too old for.

*sending chicken soup to Fantasy*

If I'm down and it's a nice day, I take the boat out on the river. It's hard to be down surrounded by all that beauty. Not to mention how great the sun feels, as if its feel good energy is sinking right through to your bones.

If its an ugly day or the boat's out of gas ;), I curl up with a book, an oldie or newbie, and escape my own troubles for a bit.

*Hugs to Fantasy for finishing the soup*

When you are ill (like me :'( ) what do you do to make yourself feel more positive?
If I am sick ill, then I sleep a lot and eat tomato soup.

If I am any other type of ill, I sleep a lot and eat a lot of chocolate. And a good cuppa tea always helps.

You are all so nice :D

XXX

Would you call yourself sensible?

Nah :)

Only when I have to be.

Would you call yourself sensible?

On everything but alcohol, yes. :)

Would you call yourself sensible?

I'll leave that up to you, hun ;) :p

More so than the majority of my peers, but less so than the majority of my friends.

Nah. I call myself Cogito, or Dave. Other labels tend to be limiting.

I would call myself sensible for leaving my kids father :p lol!

Agreed, T. Father is a very generous label for that one, if I may say so.

More like an insult to all the other fathers of the world...

Not at all. Some of my more memorable memories come from the least sensible portions of my life.

What would you do if you suddenly discovered you were ill, with an uncuriable disease. AIDS for example. How would you react if at all? This question is about honesty with yourself, not about being right or wrong. Thought it was about time I tried something a little deeper than trouser legs and disney channel.

Depends on what you mean by 'sensible'. :rolleyes:

Me, I would probably honestly go out, get smashed and think about how I probably deserve something like that to happen to me. then I would get up, sort myself out and live my last day with a smile on my ace, having never asked for any help, and telling as little people as possible that I was ill. You know, the usual :p

That would suck beyond belief... I'd probably try and lead a more meaningful life, talk to everyone. You know, the usual crap people say they'd do. Or maybe I'd just sit alone in my room all day feeling sorry for myself. :p

Is it the kind of disease where you have a few months to live, but can still function normally? Cuz if so, I'd write one last great story, maybe another, and see if I could go to Ireland.

If it's the kind of disease that cripples you permanently but keeps you alive so you can feel the torturous pain...well, I'd get a hospital room and a laptop, and while away my life by writing.

Of course, if this is an immediate reaction question...I'd probably go into shock, complete with the bottom of my stomach dropping out of me. Then I'd deal with it through well-hidden denial.

I'd tour the world to visit all of my friends, and then buy a boat, sail her into open waters, and set the whole thing ablaze in a funeral pyre. A nice, dignified death.

I would more than likely spend as much time with my kids as I possibly could. :)

I'd proabably freak out at first and then try to live out the time I have left to the fullest.

I'd empty all savings and go to Vegas, and play poker until the money runs out. Then I'd go up to my cottage and sit on the beach with a nice book for the last few days.

I think I should probably answer my own question this time :P

If it was something I could still live with like AIDS I would just live on, I would just feel not so much myself for a very long time. I know everything happens for a reason but I think iw opuld blame myself and feel very broken after it. I can be very overly emotional so i would probably really over-exagerate how I am feeling and make sure that the world leaves me alone for a while.
I'd probably see it as major punishment.

Thinks that cripple your mind are diffrent to me. I wouldn't want to continue living with a disease that left me with mymind in shatters. Doesn't matter if my heart is still going if my brain is dead.


New Question :D

Does the book you are reading at the moment inspire you at all to write more?

No, because I am currently between books.

Hmmm. Not so much. It's inspiring me to become a serial killer, though :)

(BTW, it's Darkly Dreaming Dexter, by Jeff Lindsay)

Oh, yes. It's a funny murder mystery about a flock of sheep who want to find out who killed their shepherd, and the way it mixes philosophy with a thousand different suspenseful subplots really makes me want to get out there and write something awesome m'self. (Three Bags Full, by Leonie Swann.)

I'm not reading anything fiction at the moment, which is usually the only place from which I can write. So, I guess what I am not reading is inspiring me at the moment.

The book I'm currently reading, Larry Niven's Destiny's Road, is really crawling along for me. I keep hoping for the pace to improve, but I'm about midway through it at this point, so hope is fading.

I was actually more inspired last night watching a Start Trek: The Next Generation episode, The Perfect Mate, and noticing the masterful use of dialogue in it.

No, it's a travel memoir about a man on the Apalacian Trail. I like it, but definitely not inspired by it.

No. Usually fantasy does but this book ain't doing it.

Wow, I'm the only one who answered 'yes' so far...

Wow, I'm the only one who answered 'yes' so far...

Well, your book sounds pretty interesting.

Not really. The only thing that really inspires me to write is myself.

What old show from the 90s or before did you just love?

The muppet show :D
Or Faulty Towers!

Its a close call between Lost in space or Fraggle Rock.

Loved lost in space, even if it was 20 years before my time. Some of the characters i just instantly liked for some reason (esp the doctor).

Fraggle Rock - come on, i was a kid and it was bright and colourful and i could always lose myself in it. (Though i cant remember much about it these days).
