For an OLD show, a tie between Monty Python's Flying Circus and Rocky and Bullwinkle.

For closer-to-90's-ish, MST3K or Animaniacs.

Oh my. I'm a huge TV geek, and have been since only the well-to-do owned color televisions.

The Red Skelton Hour was probably my all time favorite sketch comedy show. He had such a gentle outlook on life, even as he mugged his way through hilarious yet poignant characterizations, such as Freddie the Freeloader, and the two seagulls, Gertrude and Heathcliff, who so often graced his opening monologue. He always ended every show with, "Good night, and may God bless."

I loved and hated Lost In Space. It was the best SF on at the time, but much of it was unspeakably silly. When Star Trek came on the air, I did everything I could to watch it. Our local NBC affiliate didn't carry it for the fist half year, so I built an antenna to try to pull in a fuzzy station outside the area, with only enough success to make out some of the dialogue.

For general drama, The Fugitive, starring David Janssen was among the best. M*A*S*H was a close contender.

But SF is my preferred genre. I love all the later Treks, and Babylon 5. Stargate SG-1 is another favorite, but most of that is after the 1990s.

I didn't watch much TV when I was younger. It was usually news or some documentary.

Does the book you are reading at the moment inspire you at all to write more?
Erm, yes if you count the fact I am more optomistic about being published if they will accept the tripe that I am reading at the moment.

What old show from the 90s or before did you just love?
Teletubbies !!!!!!! :D

Do you have a "To Do List" of things before you die? If you do what is the most outragious thing you want to do?

Yes :P

Lol i want to cover my body in fake tattoos so my mum will have a heart attack thinking I have really went and done it :p

Hmmm... >_>

I don't know how outrageous it is, but one thing that I'd love to do above all else is spend a year on the Serengeti, and sit with a pride of lions - I'd be in heaven if I ever got to run my hands through a lion's mane :redface: (more than likely literally, as well as figuritively :)). Failing getting the opportunity to do that, I'd love to get the chance to play with some lion cubs - there was about three white lion cubs born in a zoo quite recently, they were adorable!

I dont really have a list of things to do before i die, just goals that i dont care of if i get done or not.

Travel is my main goal - id like to visit at least 100 countries. Im 27 down so far (Not bad for an Aussie).

.....and get drunk at every one of them (25 of which have so)

Note - I don not endorse this!

1. Get a date.
2. Walk across Ireland.

They're equally unrealistic in entirely separate ways!

Do you have a "To Do List" of things before you die? If you do what is the most outragious thing you want to do?

meet up with my loaf.... does that count?? :p;):rolleyes::redface:

Do you have a "To Do List" of things before you die? If you do what is the most outragious thing you want to do?


I do yes, although it is ever changing. And one of the more ... outragious things I want to do may be running for Prime Minister of Britain. Or perhaps naked sky diving.

What was the happiest moment of your life??

THe day I was able to take my son home from the hospital.

You what's really depressing? I can't think of one :(

Happiest? There are to many....all the days just hanging with the people i love and having fun, i really can't choose just one. :)

What was the happiest moment of your life??
I am not sure to be honest. :|

How about the saddest (oh dear.. emo time...)

Leaving my son in the intensive care unit just after he was born.

Go onto photobucket or google and type in cute cats. Find the cutest picture you can find and post it here!

They have funny pictures which will make you laugh.

Well... It's not a picture, but I've watched this a few times now, since I have kind of an obsession with lions...

Christian the lion - reunion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7VkiL_PW6U&feature=bz302)

How about the saddest (oh dear.. emo time...)
Erm, about a two month period in which I lived in New Zealand. Wasn't fun.

Be honest! What is the worst item of clothing you own but love to much to throw out??
A pic would be good too :D

I have a tie. My mom bought me a sweater with three checkered kittens on it and a sweater (came with a matching sweater vest to go over it) that had snowmen, cowboys, horses, and cacti on it.

Be honest! What is the worst item of clothing you own but love to much to throw out??
A pic would be good too
Ermmmm ... perhaps this little Gothy dress I have, with net underneath it, and it like a size 6, but I checked last night and I can still sqeeeeeeze into it, but that made me feel a little better. :p I only wore it once at a halloween party, i went as a witch, but I love it.

And I'll post pictures when I upload them on ... :)

What is your scariest compulsive habit?

For me there are far too many to list!

At work (I work in a takeaway) all the notes must be round a certain way and be perfectly sitting! Even if I have to press them under the menu for 15 mins :P

If my hair isn't perfect I freak! Seriously I won't go out without it perfect.

If I see something ugly... lie red jeans I can't help but say "OH MY GOD ITS UGLY!" really loud...

Everything must be neat and ordered. With the odd exception of my bedroom. This is why I freaked out when iTunes messed up my nicely ordered video files, last week :)


I also pull hairs out of my arms, but thats more of a nervous habit, than a compulsive one.

Be honest! What is the worst item of clothing you own but love to much to throw out??
A pic would be good too :D

That would have to be my purple genie pants. They are torn right down the thigh on one side and are so thin that they could never be fixed <I don't think anyway> and if I wear them, they tear more. But I can't bare to throw them out cause I love them so much lol!


What is your scariest compulsive habit?


Hrm... I used to have an obsessive compulsive disorder, where I would pull the fluff off of anything that had fluff on it. Clothing, furniture, stuffed toys, anything! A mate bought me a jumper, woollen of course, and I spent a week pulling the fluff off of one arm and it was fluff free. After that I never did it again...

As for the scariest compulsive habit... I really couldn't say.

What is your scariest compulsive habit?

Erm, I wash my hands all the time, like 20 times a day, just because I feel I have too.

Or I have to make sure none of my electrical equiptment in my room is hidden on a night, and my waredrobes are closed, and anything from school is hidden and the lis goes on, because ... well the reason is daft really.

oooo! I have to light a candle an hour before bed and then blow it out after I turn off the light. I can't sleep without the smell that is left behind....

I alphabetically organize my sheet music. But I'm not really a neat or organized person otherwise.

Super Catch-Up Post! Woo!
What was the happiest moment of your life??
I have many, but the most recent one was when I crossed off half of this list:
1. Get a date.
2. Walk across Ireland.
Guess which one? =D
How about the saddest (oh dear.. emo time...)
The moment I realized my dog was going to die.
Be honest! What is the worst item of clothing you own but love to much to throw out??
The baggy Dark Side of the Moon shirt that comes down to my knees.
What is your scariest compulsive habit?

Probably cutting the hairs off of the mole on my right hand. Yes, I know, ew.

What is your scariest compulsive habit?

Hmmm....actually thats a hard one...i don't know if they're scary but i pick at my nails, play with my hair/comb it w/ my fingers and i rub my fingernails along my lips....but those aren't really scary...:confused:

Would you ever take a cheater back? Why?

What does taking a cheater back mean?

That means dating someone again who has cheated on you in the past.


And I highly doubt it. I wouldn't be able to trust them again.

Hmm... >_> That's quite a difficult question to answer - there's a whole bunch of ifs that would need to accompany a yes answer, so to answer in simple terms - no.

My wife cheated on me after seven or eight years of marriage. I stayed with her and tried to fix the marriage, with the help of a counsellor, for another 2-3 years.

However, cheating is not the problem in a relationship. It's a symptom.

The marriage ended, despite all my efforts to save it.

It all depends on the the if's and why's probably not, but i wouldn't say no indefinatley

I've never been in any kinda relationship, so I don't really understand things like that. I probably would, though, because I have no backbone.

If they did it again, I'd probably go cry to my friend. When she gets angry, she gets scary :)

You wouldn't like her when she's angry?

Would you ever take a cheater back? Why?

The Simple answer is No.
I'm old school and Army style I beleive in Loyalty and once that loyalty and trust have been broken Its over. That may seem harsh but once the trust has gone it never truly comes back. And I'll be damned if I'm going to live my life always wondering if she's doing it again. So the answer is a firm No.


You should also answer the Questions you ask as well FantasyWitch. ;)

Would you ever take a cheater back? Why?

No, I've never been in a relationship myself but I have kept a careful eye on my sister's current relationship. She's had several and well....NO! I could no longer trust that person, despite whatever they would do to earn my trust back. The memory would still linger in my mind.

Would you ever take a cheater back? Why?


Nope! But then again, I never recycle boyfriends. I'm a pretty easygoing person. If I broke up with you, there was a very good reason.


*I once broke up with this guy named Mike who was the spitting image of Brad Pitt, just shorter. No lie, he was beautiful. On the airplane ride home from a vacation in upstate NY, he used the ‘N’ word in front of me, in all its ignorant glory.

I didn’t fight with him, I didn’t yell or argue. I just packed my stuff and left.

Got no patience for that crap.

Actually, if someone had asked me this before I was actually faced with it, I'd undoubtedly have said "No way!" also.

Sometimes you surprise yourself when the hypothetical isn't hypothetical any more.

I think it all depends on the the relationship's situation and you, but for me, I wouldn't,no matter how wonderful the person was before they did it. I was a victim of cheating (not a direct one, just a victim of cheating through divorce) and it has affected me greatly, so I'd have to say that I'd never take the person back.

Would you ever take a cheater back? Why?

Once upon a time (sorry), I said to myself, "No, Never, Not in a million years," then like Cogito, when it happens to you and you love someone so deeply and they are begging for forgiveness on their knees and crying their eyes out in your lap... so, yes I have taken a cheater back... once.

Unfortunately, it ended anyway six months later even though there was no more cheating (that I know about :)), but the trust was gone and though I have heard you can get it back if you work at it hard enough, it never happened for me and the whole thing just turned into this nightmare until we almost hated each other.

So, my answer to that question today, is "No, Never, Not in a million years" would I ever do it again.

You should also answer the Questions you ask as well FantasyWitch. ;)

Lol just for you Raven my friend :P

You see I have already taken a cheated back, and regretted it. But I thinkit depends entierly on the circumstances.

If my current boyfriend went out with his mates, got recked and had sex with some random, but then came home and told me about it and how much he regretted it and begged my forgivness then I probably would... but not before making his life hell for hurting me.

If he had a long affair behind my back and lied and lied and lied then he would be history.



Ok todays question!

When you were a kid what was the most annoying thing you did to your parents?

I used to say "Why?" all the time :P It really annoyed Daddy! hehehe

Actually, if someone had asked me this before I was actually faced with it, I'd undoubtedly have said "No way!" also.

Sometimes you surprise yourself when the hypothetical isn't hypothetical any more.

I agree. It's easy to say "I'd never stand for that!" in a hypothetical situation, but the thing people forget about is love. It tends to mess with your common sense, and make you do things you wouldn't have thought you'd do. I honestly believe, that until you've been in the situation, you can't judge what your reaction will be.

When you were a kid what was the most annoying thing you did to your parents?

I used to say "Why?" all the time :P It really annoyed Daddy! hehehe

I did the same :p I wanted to know about everything, which led to incessant questions. I also used to never sleep. Which is something I still do :p

Lol just for you Raven my friend :P
lol. Thanks Fantasy. ;) :)


When you were a kid what was the most annoying thing you did to your parents?

I used to say "Why?" all the time :P It really annoyed Daddy! hehehe

I would climb up everything stair railling or trees and the drain pipe outside.

In the supermarket, I would grab coupon after coupon from those flashy little dispenser thingies. My mom would come back from a brief trip down the aisle and find my sitting in a pile of paper.
Also, I just wouldn't shut up.

When you were a kid what was the most annoying thing you did to your parents?


When I was a wee lad living in VERY upstate New York, my best friend (and many of my other friends for that matter) was French Canadian. I learned French from him and would speak it at home. That annoyed my parents, no end.

When I was about three years old I had this thing I would do late at night, we lived in an apartment in Germany, and we had hardwood floors. So, at night, they would tuck me in, I'd fall out, scream until they came in, they'd tuck me back in, and an hour later I'd do it again. I had this every constant bruise on my forehead from hitting the floor.

I was a snoopy kid - as in I was always trying to locate the hiding spots for the Christmas presents and such. No surprises when my mum gave me the Mr Men book Mr Nosey one Christmas.

:)

Plastic surgery? Would you or wouldn't you??

Nope ... I've had enough surgeries in my life already.

Nope. I am who I am. At least I can say I'm brave enough to live with that :p

If have the guts and the money and I'm in good health in about twenty years which is when I'll probably need it, well... I might.

I think your PRURTY Banzai :P lol

Plastic surgery? Would you or wouldn't you??


I've thought of having some work done on my lower eye lids. Sinus trouble is the Fuentes family curse and has a way of making for baggy eyes. That's about it. Good diet and exercise has a way of keeping most everything else in line.

Plastic surgery? Would you or wouldn't you??

Nope I spent many years as a soldier in the British Paratroop and my scars remind me of those years.


Fantasy would you have plastic Surgery?

Never. I'm just fine with who I am, and when it comes to medical procedures, I don't consent if I'm not convinced it is necessary.

With that in mind, the exception I might make is reconstructive work after severe burns or a major accident

i am ok with myself, i dnt need any plastic surgery, too expensive anyways lolz

I don't think I could go through with plastic surgery.... hell, I don't know if I could go through with actual needed medical surgery. :)

No, I'd never get plastic surgery . . . I wouldn't mind having my unibrow permanently separated by laser, though . . . whoops, did I just admit to having a unibrow?

Ah well, pluck that! ;)

hell, I hate myself for being ugly but then I'm not so despo that I'll go for plastic surgery...

I've thought of having some work done on my lower eye lids. Sinus trouble is the Fuentes family curse and has a way of making for baggy eyes. That's about it. Good diet and exercise has a way of keeping most everything else in line.

not just the Fuentes family curse.
the McClenaghan family curse as well.
I have deep set eyes and black circles which get larger as I get more anemic.
Friends have asked me why I don't leave Don since he punches me in the face a lot. I go around looking like he has punched me in both eyes.
Small town so police look at me kind of funny.

I don't think I would go the surgery route.
Had a few surgeries and thankfully I do not scar easily.
Besides once you start it is always waiting to save enough for the 2nd thing that now shows up more since you had #1 done.

Ah well, pluck that! ;)

Oh, believe me, I do.

The only thing I'd consider is an eyebrow lift - just for my right eyebrow as it is lower than my left eyebrow and I constantly look quizzical.

No way. I'm pretty comfortable with myself, and besides, why would I want to alter the way I'm made?

Plastic surgery? Would you or wouldn't you??

No. I see no reason to. I'm perfectly content with my physical appearance.

I don't think I would. This is the way I was meant to look so I'm going to keep it that way.

Corset or strap top? Heels or Cons? That is the question!

Neither. :p

Oh come on Raven! You'd look ravishing in a corset :p

Corset or strap top? Heels or Cons? That is the question!

Corset, always with the corset. So much more comfortable, that is for sure! :D

Oh come on Raven! You'd look ravishing in a corset :p

What worries me most is the fact you're imagining me attired that way Banzai. :eek: :eek:

^ Well, here’s an interesting conversation. :rolleyes:

Do you think you understand the opposite sex? be honest with yourself :P

Nope... men confuse me.

Actually yes .... yes I do.

Do you think you understand the opposite sex? be honest with yourself :P


I've lived with my wife for 13 years into our 14th and I still do not understand the opposite sex. All I Know is one week a month I go out fishing with the lads or simply lock myself away on the PC writing.

Some individuals I understand. Others I don't. But I don't buy into gender stereotyping.

On the whole, no. But some girls I do understand, and I think I understand the female gender as a whole a lot better than most males.

I sort of under stand guys, some more than others. It depends on the guy.

I will never completely understand men. The older I get, the more I realize I understand little...but I still love 'em! ;)

Do you think you understand the opposite sex? be honest with yourself :P


As a gay man, I can say that I understand both sexes equally well, which is to say, not well at all.

Humans are just strange, accoutrements notwithstanding. :rolleyes:

Some guys I understand, but some I don't. I wish I understood all guys, though...would make my life and many any womens' lives a lot easier!! lol

I think I understand men fairly well. I actually think I understand most men better than I understand women, lol.

I probably understand women more than my own gender most of the time.

I don't understand either! Females just confuse the heck out of me. To the point where it feels like my head is going to implode.

Males... give man food, give man beer, give man TV, man is happy. lol!

But seriously, they make my head hurt as well. But more like someone is sticking really long needles through my head every 5 seconds.

It is a hard enough job trying to understand myself, let alone anyone else! It would cause my brain to expire if I honestly did try to understand the oppossite sex!

What is your sleeping position?? For example: naked? pyjamas? Under blankets? No blanket? Fan on? Windows open? Snugglebunny?

Usually in my boyfriends shirt, under the blankets, with the wondows open snuggled up to my snugglebunny (aka my boyfriends :P )

Bottoms bare chested.

I don't have a sleeping position. I just sleep in whatever position is most comfortable.

Oversized sleep pants and a tee shirt. Sorta on my left side, left leg out from under the covers. Soft music on and a night light. Lots of pillows and a set of high thread count sheets. I'm out like a light. ;)

I don't actually know how I sleep... I've never seen myself sleeping.

Gotta’ have covers no matter the temp. Blanket or a thin sheet depending on what’s appropriate.

Underwear and tee-shirt. Must have a tee-shirt. If my back gets cold, I’m not happy.

Like Chimmy, I have no problem spending good money on quality sheets and nice pillows. These are high on my priority list.* I do know how to shop and for those of you who have seen beautiful sheets at the department store and cringed at the price, try Marshals, TJ Max or Ross. (In the states.) They get very nice quality items that are out of season from department stores.

Very soft music is nice, must be instrumental. No words or I start singing the music in my head.

No lights.

*Priorities. I have a Temperpedic® mattress; I drive a crappy car. You figure it out. :D

Gotta’ have covers no matter the temp. Blanket or a thin sheet depending on what’s appropriate.

~Me too!! People make fun of me because of it.:confused:

Bed time is serious business...:)

I am so glad you made mention of Marshalls, I love that place! They keep me in fashion and nice linens! ;)

No nightwear, but under sheet and blankets, or at least a sheet. Fan in hot weather, enough to keep a gentle breeze. No A/C unless it's brutally hot and humid. Window open when the heat is switched off for the season.

I turn like a rotisserie during the night, and sometimes the sheets show evidence of that.

i sleep with my head rotating around and around and red light coming out of my eyes because i was sacked from my job years ago because of a missunderstanding -i was so pissed off i sent a joke resignation letter to the secretary but the MD picked it up and the manager expected me to leave!! fkng bstds fkctstegdhrfdgf so yes that has been my sleeping position for the past several years

Bare chested, on my side, the colder the better.

Usually just an old t-shirt. I also prefer a heavy quilt, and sleep on my side as far as I know - occasionally with a large creature known as Sage - big teddy bear lion, lol. :redface: (I also know what Chim and Wrey mean about needing covers - even in the hottest weather, it just feels odd to not have a cover of some description).

I sleep on my side typically curled around a cat.

In every other season but the summer, I sleep in a t-shirt/top and some kind of pants/shorts bottom. In the summer, well..... it's Nevada! Ugh, so hot. Also, I almost always sleep on either side. Sometimes I'll catch myself sleeping on my back, but I can't do that for very long. Absolutely hate sleeping on my stomach, it's really uncomfortable for me.

usually bare chested, sprawled out on my front. But I move around a lot in my sleep.

I sleep in a t-shirt and pajama pants. I always have to have blankets on me, even in the middle of Summer. When I was a kid I used to be terrified of vampires, and I would sleep with all the blankets in a large mass around my neck (not that that would help much, if it came down to it.) I think my blanket thing is left over from that; I can't bear to sleep with my neck exposed, even though I no longer have a fear of vampires.

I also like to sleep with my arms stretched out in strange ways, depending on what is comfortable. If for some reason I can't, like if I am sleeping with someone else in a bed that is not quite big enough for two people, my arms are always numb when I wake up. I also like to have an extra blanket to wrap around my arms; right now I have a Christmas throw rug for that purpose.

Wow, I guess I'm a weird sleeper, aren't I?

Depends on the season for sleepwear.
Summer: Light cotton pj pants and a t-shirt
Winter: Flannel pj pants and a long sleeve cotton shirt

I usually sleep on my right side with my kitty tucked in my arm. Hubby has 2 fans on at all times, an overhead fan and a freakin jet engine on his side of the bed. I like to have a door or window open during rain storms and usually fall asleep with glasses and TV on.

Do you think we are learning from our history? Or are we just continuing to make the same mistakes over and over as a race?

Nopes, and yes. It's too obvious to explain why. :p

we are so making the same mistake over and over again!

Oh yeah, I often wake up in the wee hours long enough to turn off the TV. I don't always remember to put the TV on sleep timer to make sure it shuts itself off. No biggie though - I just hit the remote and pass out again, until the TV turns on at 5:30 with the morning news.

I've looked for a small hi-def with the wake-up and sleep timer features to replace it. No luck so far. I have cable though, so the February 2009 deadline is not urgent for me (those in the USA will know what I'm talking about).

...I have cable though, so the February 2009 deadline is not urgent for me (those in the USA will know what I'm talking about).


It’s quite the scramble here in Puerto Rico, where most people do not have cable or dish outside of the metro area. Ever the conspiracy theorists, there is of course the urban rumor (have I just coined that?) that the changeover to digital is a malicious means of keeping the local population out-of-the-know. My people have no space program….. :rolleyes:

What is your sleeping position?? For example: naked? pyjamas? Under blankets? No blanket? Fan on? Windows open? Snugglebunny?

The way I sleep changes all the time, but the one thing that has been consistent for years is that I must wear socks. I'll go bearfoot outside in October, but my feet get insanely cold when I sleep, and if I'm the slightest bit cold, I can't sleep.

I've never seen myself sleeping.

Thats because generally you're a sleep. You Ninny. ;p

Micheal Jackson: your opinion?

Good music. Always liked his music.
But I swear he is ill...

He's a living example of how the pressures of fame can affect people at a very young age.

I love his stuff from the 80's. He has such a smooth and great voice, and he's a sick dancer. Other than that, I think he's weird and definitely an example of how fame changes people.

He's a living example of how the pressures of fame can affect people at a very young age.


Agreed. A human living outside of the human condition. What did we expect?

I'm with the majority here: Great music, strange person.
Apparently he's planning a comeback. He seems to be going in the right direction so far: He's got a perfectly mindless-pop-y new single, and the music video is very not oriented towards his appearance, so you can really just concentrate on the music and awesome dancing skills.

Haha. Someone's been to see batman :p

And I believe the phrasisng was: Why. So. Serious? :p


And because I have have things to do, crises to avert, ridiculously overexaggerated problems to solve.

Whyy so Serious?......

Me? Serious? I guess it happens from time to time - but not today.

Cause I forget that no one gets out of life alive anyway.

Who's serious today? It ain't me, baby! ;)

You really DO NOT need that new car... just because it's zero percent interest doesn't mean the payments won't still be due every month for the next FIVE years, dummy.

Hey, how about you do something productive this year other than just work? Like get your license? Like enroll in college? Like save up money? Yeah, something USEFUL so that a year later you won't look back and think wtf did I do that entire year? Oh yeah, nothing really. D'OH.

Hurdles, because I am so damn bleeden good at hurdles it isn't funny!!!!!!!

I trained 6 months to do hurdles and aimed at the olympics, but had to give it up for reasons that I didn't see as real reasons. Breaks my heart to watch the hurdles on the olynpics, but I still do.

Hehe, don't worry, it happens to the best of us. (Really- Charlie Chaplin once came in 3rd place at a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest.)

Book Hording - I'd totally win a gold.

What Olympic sport would you win gold in (use your imagination!)

Talking :P


Song murdering. This is a little reported sport which happens up at the chalet after the games of the day. The participants get together in front of the big fireplace, and after a few drink they sing karaoke. I can totally put the hurt on pretty much any song! :D

If I could rewind time I'd probably go for gymnastics, the floor excercise event specifically. I used to train when I was younger, and I actually aspired to, but just eventually gave up the sport as time went on.

...I think, by now, I might be too tall to be a gymnast. I'm 5'1" and they all seem super short, shorter than I am. Or maybe it's the tv, aha.

You also have to look like you're 12. Judging from what I've watched of the gymnastics. Or maybe they are all 12. The Chinese have lied about their gymnast's age, at least.

Five physical things you look for in the opposite sex and five you look for in a friend of the same sex and what these things tell you about the person! Do tell. And remember we ALL judge on looks. First impressions and all that.

Opposite sex:
1. Big arms (gives good cuddles)
2. Nice eyes. (No idea what that means, it's just nice)
3. Soft hands (takes care of himself)- even if my boyfriend lacks this quality :P
4. Sort of BEAR built (hug thing again)
5. Height (I won't date anyone shorter than me and it is just looks more manly!)

Friend of the same sex:
1. Long hair (feminine so I can talk about silly girlie things)
2. Good make up (has pride in herself)
3. There own style (talk about clothes and such)
4. A bit bigger than me (thats the bitch part of me, I like being the skinny one)
5. Soft hands (same as above)

Opposite sex:
1. Beautiful eyes (its the first thing I notice about a girl)
2. An orginal tattoo (Shows they are artistic and unique)
3. Hair dyed some wild color (same as above^)
4. A piercing with a nice jewel in it (same as above^)
5. An athletic body (shows that they take care of their body)

Same sex:
1. An original tattoo (shows an artistic side)
2. Unique clothing style (same as above ^)
3. Well taken care of hair (shows he has pride in how he looks)
4. An athletic body (shows that they take care of themselves)
5. Nice eyes (I just like people that have nice eyes)

Five physical things you look for in the opposite sex and five you look for in a friend of the same sex and what these things tell you about the person! Do tell. And remember we ALL judge on looks. First impressions and all that.

I'm not sure that I look for particular things - especially in friends - though there are a couple of things that I suppose I find physically attractive in various ways, which I would think say more about me than the other person... :redface:

Opposite sex:
- Eyes (At this point in time, they would be some very particular eyes that change colour according to the weather - from green, to blue, to grey).
- Hands (Nicely shaped hands - clean, well-groomed and not too rough is a plus).
- Smile (An easy, contagious kind of smile gets auto-bonus points :)).
I think I'll leave it at that...

Actually, in thinking about this, I can honestly say that there are no physical attributes that I look for in a same sex friend - though I reckon it would be way cool if I could find one that can fly...or something.

:)

Hmm...

Opposite sex:
1. Cute smile (there's nothing like a cute smile to make you swoon, lol)
2. Average to athletic build (I don't like guys whose waist is my size, and I see so many really skinny guys who are barely 'bigger' than me and they weigh about 130 pounds, and that's a big no no, gain some weight! But I don't like overweight either, someone HEALTHY basically)
3. Arms (I don't like really buff arms, those are disgusting, but just nice toned arms are a good attribute to oggle :p )
4. Eyes (Color doesn't matter, it's just the eyes themselves. This is pretty hard to explain)
5. HEIGHT (Most important here along with build. Seriously, he HAS TO be taller than me, has to. I'm 5'1", I'm the midget here, I need someone with some kind of height, not too tall, though, that's just too much of a gap)

For friends, these aren't really requirements, just guidelines that I'd break if the girl was awesome enough--

Friend of the same sex:
1. Style (I prefer for her to have some individuality, not look like every other girl)
2. Height (I prefer girls who are taller than me just because when they're shorter, I feel like a giant)
3. Well-groomed/feminine (Takes pride in herself. However, I don't care about make up. I don't wear make up, lol, I mean she should keep her hair healthy, be well-moisturized, etc.)

There's really nothing else. So no number 4 or 5 for this.

Okay, that's my ramble response for the question of the day. :)

Opposite sex:
- Good arms. (Nice muscly forearms) - Tells me that he's active and healthy.
- Friendly smile. (Puts me at ease)
- Taller than me (No logical reason why, I just prefer it)
- Nice eyes. (Not just color, as I like all colors. Some people have really interesting expressive eyes and I find that attractive as I can understand them better.)
- Dark hair - I just like hair dark.


Friend of the same sex:
1. Knows how to dress so I won't feel awkward with them in public. Not really fashion conscious, just not someone who always tries to be a few steps ahead/tries too hard.
2. No horifically bad teeth as I would find it awkward talking without looking.
3. Not too pretty or I'd just feel depressed/intimidated
4.
5.

I seriously can't think of any more for friends.

Good question... really makes you look inside yourself and admit some things.

Opposite Sex

1) Dark Hair and Eyes - This doesn't tell me anything about him, but more about me. I've never been physically attracted to a blonde. I think its because I'm blonde myself. Must be true that opposites attract? At least for me.
2) Tall or at least 5 or 6 inches taller than me - I like my heels and at 5'4 myself there is no way I could deal with looking down at a guy.
3) Manly hands but with clean nails - I don't mind if there's a little roughness... shows he's outdoorsy and / or works hard.
4) Got to look awesome in a pair of Levi's as well as a suit - I can't help it, those Levi's wrapped around long thick muscular male legs drives me a bit over the edge.
5) A killer smile, a ready smile - If he smiles easily it tells me he has a sense of humor, which is essential for me to spend any time with a person.

I wish we had ten for that question.:)

Friend of the same sex

I don't think I can come up with five physical attributes for a friend. I really don't care what she looks like. Although it was a little hard in high school having a best friend who seemed to be every guys ideal, but then again, she was every girl's ideal too. She was awesome.

I guess the following as far as the physical goes:

Smiles and laughs easily - the sense of humor thing again.
Near the same age - (for a close friendship) - although I consider my mom one of my best friends and she's 24 years older than me.

You judge your friends by how they look? Hell, everyone judges their partners, that's just good evolutionary sense- but I do not judge my friends by how they look, not being too much of a looker myself.

Nah nah. I'm just the type of girl who will rub a mates foundation in if it's uneven. I like to help. And there are not many things I look for in mates. A sense of style is the only REALLY important one.


And five personality traits?

A sense of humor
considerate of others
positive outlook
ability to reason
love of nature

I like guys who are shorter than me (not easy, I'm 5' 7") and I like square hands. After that, I don't care.

Mainly I like a quality in a person that is difficult to desrcribe and even harder to find. I am attracted to a person who is able to remove the shiny wrapper of a dynamic and consider the gears, levers and cogs that work within.

Fantasy, maybe it would be nice to ask about the inner qualities we all look for in a partner rather then first impressions of the physical as your next question. Seems your question has gone there anyway.

At least then those of us who admitted there are certain initial physical qualities that attract us to a partner won't feel we are totally shallow.:)

I've known guys who met all five of the criteria on my list plus some but were such jerks that I found them completely unattractive and frankly downright ugly.:eek:

Hmmm...physical features for a man.
Honestly, I have been involved with men who look completely opposite one from the other. The things that I look for in a man, would be almost the same things I look for in a female friend.
I got over the physical aspects of people many years ago. Now, with that said, I must add that the first thing I notice about a man is his hands. Don't know why, I just do. Go figure.:rolleyes:

What is most important, they have to be...
1)Honest and respectful
2)Doesn't take themselves too seriously
3)Open to new experiences and ideas or at the least will give ear to them.
(I don't like a closed mind)
4)Has a cool since of humor ~ This is very important actually...:D
5)Loves the outdoors

And, for the hell of it...Doesn't mind that I love football...;)

physical features of a guy? hmmm...i look more for a good personality (humor, kindness, honesty, intelligence stuff like that) i'm not sure if i have 5 physical traits that i look for...
1) preferably dark hair, like brown...but thats probably because i'm, a brunette....I don't mind blonde though
2) taller than me, luckily there are many tall guys out there because i am sort of tall
3) in shape, they don't have to be super muscled or anything just not really overweight cuz i want him to be healthy
4) generally nice looking
thats about it for me...as i said before i am more into a really good personality, thats where i become all specific :)

Have you missed me?

Hahaha :P

Have you missed me?
Of Course :D

Have you missed me?

Hahaha :P

Muchly!

Ignoring my texts...

*sulks*

:p

I wasn't ignoring your textx you lemon! I had no credit!

hahaha.

How long does it take before you relise you just can't get into the book you are reading?

A couple of chapters

at least half way through the first chapter, or by the end of the first chapter. But I stick it out and read a book all the way through. (most of the time anyway)

After I've given up trying to read it on more than one occasion :p

About when I wake up to find my face stuck to a single digit page of the book.

About when I wake up to find my face stuck to a single digit page of the book.

I can so relate to that! :rolleyes:

If I've tried more than twice and I am under page 20 or so, the book is a kindling.

If I can't make it through the first 100 pages without the book grabbing me, then it's not going to happen.

How long does it take before you relise you just can't get into the book you are reading? Usually about two or three chapters into the book. Although I have a habit of convincing myself the next time I read it, it'll get better, and so have four different books half read under my bed at the moment. :p

about 10 minutes of reading and then 2 days of
telling myself that it must get better but I never go back to it.
which is why I like libraries. they don't eat into my budget the
same way a book store does.

I think usually if I don't find something interesting in the first chapter or two then the book is doomed to be discarded.

However, there was a book I bought recently that I thought would be good and I was going along OK but then after about the 5th or 6th chapter or so I just never bothered to pick up the book again and have since found other things to read.

Usually the first chapter.
The first chapter for me reveals all.

Usually only a few pages. Though sometimes I'll read half of it and decide that I can't finish it.

lol, it can be as soon as a couple of pages in that I'll decide against reading the book after all. Usually, though, I'll try to get through the first few chapters even if I'm having doubts. Sometimes I'll be proven wrong, oftentimes not.

If the sentence looks at all like, "It was a dark and stormy night...", unless it's clearly a parody, by the end of the first page.

If the sentence looks at all like, "It was a dark and stormy night...", unless it's clearly a parody, by the end of the first page. Stupid question but what is a parody?

And I remebed the days when that was my favourite opening line. I thought I was smoooooooht. :p

Tell me you love Scrubs!

Well, I would, Lassie, but I'm reeeeeally not in the mood for your self-centered needy little demands, mmkay? Mmkay. *does arms-behind-head/grimace thing and walks off*

=D

Haha! I love scrubs! I have series 1 through 5 on DVD :D

Banzai: I guess we won't be seeing you come up for air anytime soon...

Tell me you love Scrubs!

Ok. You love Scrubs.

Scrubs is awesome, Zach Braff is hilarious.

Thats an opinion though :p

I loveee Scrubs...one of the funniest shows out there.

To be honest, it's a shame they decided to carry on with it. They should have ended it with season 7, like they planned to. This way it'll just go on and on, and lose it's spark.

Tell me you love Scrubs!
I Looooooove Scrubs !!

To be honest, it's a shame they decided to carry on with it. They should have ended it with season 7, like they planned to. This way it'll just go on and on, and lose it's spark. Take it back !! GRRRRR

I love Scrubs.
Wearing them that is. :cool:


Oh you meant the show. :p

I put on some Scrubs on this University thing we did, I managed to put it on faster than the boy. Go me :p

Take it back !! GRRRRR

Yeah, but all the actors and writers are leaving after series 8. It won't be the same...

Yeah, but all the actors and writers are leaving after series 8. It won't be the same... Really? I didn't know that. Then they should end it. It's like with Skins, it is entierly new people expect Effy.

Well Zach Braff (JD) has said he's gonna leave, and so have the main writers, and (I think) Judy Reyes (Carla) is too.

Ow no!! Although my favourite charectors are Dr Cox and Eliott. Did they say why they are leaving ??

I dunno. I like Doctor Cox :D And the Janitor :p

Lmao, aye,, he is great. Did you know he applied for the role of Dr Cox, and when they turned him down they created the part of Janitor specially for him.

And the Janitor was originally intended to be a figment of JD's imagination, if the series was cancelled in the first season. That's why he only interacts with JD in the first season.

Aaah owkaay. I didn't know that. Any other interesting Scrubs facts?

It's hillarious?

To be honest I've only seen Scrubs a couple of times.
I never really remember it.
But that might be because I'm more of a That 70's Show person lol.

Honestly, I may have watched Scrubs once when it was new.

I love Scrubs with a passion and have watched all the episodes, some multiple times...but I think that the seventh season of Scrubs was preeeetty dismal. Very bad, really. I'm worried to see how it continues.

I've never watched Scrubs. It just doesn't seem like a tv show I would like.

Are there any films you are ashamed to say you liked?

yes... 10 things I hate about you

Well I used to like it anyway. Back when I was in high school. I hate it now though. (does that count?)

Well...not too ashamed to actually name it, lol.

I do get a perverse kick out of Fantasy Mission Force - an old Jackie Chan flick (and I use that term lightly, because his appearance seems to be mostly circumstantial and quite begrudging...) The movie boasts one of the most convoluted plots I've ever seen, and seriously off-kilter sequences that barely have anything to do with the plot, if at all. It's so bad it's awesome!

:)

Titanic...I love it...looove it!! :D
Hmmm...I guess I am not ashamed, perhaps I should be ashamed because I am not. :rolleyes:

Are there any films you are ashamed to say you liked?

Lmao, it is a little shameful that I enjoy all the Disney films so much, but I simply do not care. This is the girls that is not above a bit of Telletubbies. :D

Hm.
I'm not sure I'm ashamed of any movies that I like. Seeing as I like them LOL.
How about I say I'm ashamed that I watch some movies simply because a good looking actor is in them?
Yeah, that's shameful. xD

Are there any films you are ashamed to say you liked?

I'm ashamed of nothing! But I will claim a rather embarrassing tendency to sing the songs from Pocahontas at the top of my lungs while watching! :D

What I love most
about rivers is
you can't step in
the same river twice.
the water's always changing
always flowing!

Hahahaha.
YOU CAN PAINT WITH ALL THE COLORS OF THE WINDDDD.

Hahahaha.
YOU CAN PAINT WITH ALL THE COLORS OF THE WINDDDD.

That song still has the power to choke me up. I loves it. :p

Me too man, me too.

Yes. Mary Poppins. Not that I mind admitting it now, but when I was in 6th grade, shortly after it was in theaters, admitting that would have certainly led to even more ridicule and abuse from my cigarette-puffing, switchblade-carrying classmates.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atroscious!
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious,

Supercalifragilistic-

Supercalifragilistic-

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

I don't think so. I like some movies that other people might consider "bad". But usually the fact that other people dislike those movies just endears them to me more.

And Torana, 10 Things I Hate About You was a damn good movie.

I am deeply, deeply ashamed of not hating Mamma Mia.
You must tell no one of this. Ever.

Tor, it was a crap movie, but the guy going over the hill on a moped gets me everytime...

There are many, many films that I love that people think are crap! Mostly horrors with a nonexistant budget!

Well I know it is a crap movie... now! lol! I was a teenager and had no taste in movies. As you can tell! lol!

But I tend to rather enjoy the horror movies with a nonexistant budget as well. They aren't as bad as people think...

I loved those old Short circuit movie's. With the aimated Wall E out now i'll probably have to watch those short circuit movies again.

Oh my god I forgot about those Short Circuit movies! I used to love those too.
Hell, I probably still would if I saw them again haha.
Man. That was so long ago.

Are there any films you are ashamed to say you liked?

Why feel ashamed of what we like?

Oh my god I forgot about those Short Circuit movies! I used to love those too.
Hell, I probably still would if I saw them again haha.
Man. That was so long ago.

Number Five is alive!
No disassemble! :eek::D

She's The Man. Its such a teenager-bubblegum pop movie. It's embarrassing enough to tell anyone I watched it let alone that I enjoyed it! I found it hilarious and so honest. Amanda Bynes is a great actress, I guess its not embarrassing to say that.

What did you do today? Bet it wasn't as interesting as mine!

She's the Mannn.
I have that movie still haha.

She's the man?
I love that film.
Yes it's corny, but I like cheesy. :)

Yes but some things are cheesy in a good way. :p
Like The Fifth Element for instance, one of my favorite movies. x)
If anyone has even heard of it haha.

I helped a drunk person home, then to a friends when she couldn't get into her house (this was at about 2 this morning). Then I slept an hour or so, before going back to accomodation hunting. Then I went shopping, gave a friend a lift, cooked dinner, gave another friend a lift, and now am relaxing. I don't think I'll be able to get up again tonight :p

What did you do today? Bet it wasn't as interesting as mine!
I went to school, argued with my mam and was meant to feel about one inch big, and ended up with my make-up running down my face in that commical effect. So yea, not very interesting.

I woke up.
Got on the computer.
Did the dishes.
Got on the computer.
Took a shower.
Took out the trash.
Got on the computer.
:cool:


Heather, what did you and your mother argue about? o.o

My day only just began - so right now im eating Doritos and drinking sunkist, while watching the news. (In a hotel, with the flu).

What did you do today? Bet it wasn't as interesting as mine!

Woke up at 6:30, got quickly ready for school, walked to school, did the school thing, and then went to an audition for The Music Man. The audition ran an hour overtime, so I missed my first meeting for the school newspaper; then I had to run home, make myself dinner (thus skipping the beautiful pasta alfredo my dad was making for the rest of the family), then wait for my drum lesson- which I got to do ten minutes of before it was time for me to pack up and walk back to school for marching band for three hours. Then I walked back home, did my homework, and got online just long enough to type this with my brother staring down my neck because he wants on the computer.

And tomorrow it all starts again.
Yay, overscheduled suburban children!

Stayed up till just after 12am chatting to my loaf... got up at 3.30 am to help my parents get ready to take our Neighbour to her Doctor appointment in a town 2 hours away, then spent an hour on the phone to a company that conned my mother and had debt collecters after her. One massive legal action threat later and they have dropped the charges... shock horror! Then around 4-5 am spoke to my loaf again for around 45 mins, then went back to bed. Then at 7 am got up and got my son ready for school, sent him to school, posted off my loaf's fathers day present from Mase, again! >< Big stuff up at the post office... grrr! Then went to an old friends place and helped her carpet her childrens new bedrooms and put their furniture in it so that her children could sleep in their owns rooms tonight. Then came home to sit and relax and have been on the phone ever since. Now me and Ami are sitting down watching movies and relaxing because it has been a very full on day today. (takes deep breath and falls back into chair....)

EDIT: I also got attacked by a kamikazee tropical fish worth $100, it jumped from the tank, and I had to put it back in the tank. Bloody thing bit me too ><

Humm, well today I got up at about 9:10-ish... not by choice, I had to be at work by 11:00. I brushed my teeth, showered, dressed, did my hair, had a five minute computer interval, ate some breakfast while watching some tv, and then did some final "getting ready" to leave for work. Made it to work on time, spent the majority of the next two hours checking customers out at my register and answering tedious questions by the regular morning old people crowd. Then I went to my first break with my usual fellow coworker friends who happen to get their breaks around the same time I do. For the next three hours I stocked freight while having to stop now and then to help a customer find what they were looking for, or to ring them out for their merchandise. I think I used the restroom around 3:30 and spent a bit of time trying to help a very old man figure out how to program his universal tv remote. Nice fellow. By 4:05 I was at lunch. I ate IN-N-OUT and returned from lunch ridiculously full to the point of not wanting to walk or move very much.

I ended up stuck on the register again for two long hours, ringing out various people as they made their purchases (a lot of people were buying the Forbidden Kingdom, Baby Mama, and iPod shuffles tonight). I took my last break for the night at 7 o' clock on the dot. The break room was decorated nicely with Halloween banners, streamers, fuzzy fake spiders, glittery hanging bats, and severed body parts. But most importantly there were bowls of candy on each table; I helped myself to a handful. Or two. After break I visited the cage and fell right into a stack of wooden pallets, earning myself a very painful splinter on my wrist. I fished it out and whined like a baby about my cut and weird piece of hanging skin once the piece of wood was removed. For the rest of the twenty minutes that remained of my work day I rummaged through dozens of movie boxes looking for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, because a coworker of mine really wants to buy a copy. We don't have a spot for it out on the sales floor, but I knew we had a few of them in a box hidden somewhere. I didn't find the stupid box before 8:00, so I quit looking, apologized to my coworker for not finding it, and then went to punch out. Drove home, ate a light snack, watched a Halloween episode of the Simpsons, and am now browsing the internet.

I plan on reading and then going to sleep. EXCITING DAY.

lol, I can't believe I actually gave a play by play of my entire day. I wanted to see if I was patient enough to type out my whole "eventful" day. :)

What is the worst experiance you have ever had at work?

What is the worst experiance you have ever had at work?

Because I have only ever done work experience, I'll comment from that.

And it was sitting in the lounge with all the teachers and feeling very aware that I was like, twenty years younger than everyone else in there. :p

Broke up a fight between two students and had to leave work after being covered from fingertip to elbow in one of the student's blood.

What is the worst experiance you have ever had at work?

Changing diapers.

Having to listen to Kokomo by the Beach Boys endlessly.

If you could change one part of yourself what would it be?

I'd be less scrawny, more athletic-body-type.

If you could change one part of yourself what would it be?

Only one thing?

Ermmmmm ....... I don't know, there are like one millions thing about me I would like to change.

If I had to pick one, it would be ...... by body, I want to be slim and tall.

I would probably change my hair. I want long and straight hair, not medium length and curly! Way too hard to manage on a daily basis, eurgh. Yeah, definitely my hair.

Easy answer!

My ability to prograstinate non-stop.

Physically - Maybe tone up a little. Nothing much really.

erm... I would change from being terrified of clowns to loving them. Would make things a whole lot easier for me!

If you could change one part of yourself what would it be?

The toe next to my pinkie toe on my right foot. I call it thumb-toe* even though its not really analogous to my actual thumb. It's kinda' weird looking and wants to curl under the toe to the left, and the nail grows really thick on that one toe. I have to give it its own little pedicure to make it look normal, which I do on a regular basis, 'cuz I hate shoes.

I have like twenty pairs of sandals.

I'm a sandals guy. Even with jeans. :rolleyes:

*The rest have names too: Big Toe, Finger Toe 1, Finger Toe 2, Thumb Toe, Pinkie Toe.:p

I would change my health.
If I was healthier then the other things I want to change
would happen naturally.

I would like to change how good I am at writing, I want to be 100% all the time.

my ability to make generate financial profit:p

I would want to change my confidence.
I'm not very confident, which makes me a target to people.

I'd love for the tiny voice (not my conscience) in the back of my head to be permanently extracted.
