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

But I bet that tiny voice makes you a better writer! (Unless it's the kind of tiny voice that says 'you SUCK'. Or 'mmm ice cream.' I have both of those voices, neither is quite helpful.)

To answer my own question I'd have more confidence.

What song is the most annoying to have in your head all day?

From bitter experiance its the Nanananananananananananananananana BATMAN! thing. I had it right through my higher english exam and it made me insane!

tip toe through the tulips.
complete with tiny tims voice.
if I could change the voice it wouldn't be so bad.

when this happens I sing going to the garden to eat worms.
just to drown it out.

The Doctor Who theme tune. I had it in my head throughout a maths exam. Only, about halfway through, I realised I was running out of time. So the tune got gradually faster and faster in my head. It reached the point of ridiculous, in the last few minutes.

The Banana Splits song.
Dear LORD.

The "Fruit Salad" song from the Wiggles.
Don't ask me why I know it xD

Banana Splits or Milkshake?

milkshake!

Milkshake. I don't like banana splits all that much.

Milkshake! (As long as I can put something in it. I love toppings on my ice cream.)

What song is the most annoying to have in your head all day?

the theme song to the disney show Pucca-my brother loves that show, not only is it stupid the theme song is the most irriating thing in the world! and When I Grow Up by the pussycat dolls i HATE that song and it alwyas gets stuck in my head!!!

and as for the banna split or milkshake question-MILKSHAKE!! :D

Banana Splits or Milkshake?

Havent had a banana split in years, so milkshakes. Vanilla molt please!

What song is the most annoying to have in your head all day?

I heard that song that goes

"I think im turning japanesse, i think im turning japanesse, i think im turning japanesse, i really think so" repeat 20 times etc

Not sure whats its called, but MAN! that thing sticks in my head.

if you could name yourself anything in the world what would it be?

The Queen of the Ape Men-Over the Rainbow Woman!

if you could name yourself anything in the world what would it be?

Happy. :D

if you could name yourself anything in the world what would it be?

Master of darkness Wicked Green of the Underworld

Something Russian. Sergei. Roman. Piotr. Maybe even (>.<) Ivan.
They are cool names!

What would you just LOVE to say to George Bush?

What would you just LOVE to say to George Bush?

"George? Yeah....um... Iraq, dude. Enough already. Ok?"

"So, what are your thoughts now that Obama's been elected?"

Love to be able to say that one.

What would you just LOVE to say to George Bush?

Did you really choke on a pretzel?

"A chest without hinges key or lid but inside golden treasures are hid. What is the chest and what is the treasure?"

I'd like to see his head explode as he tried to figure it out :p

I wouldnt say anthing to him. Words just dont seem to be his thing.....

i'd ask him to buy me a steak:d

I'd offer him some Scooby Snacks.

(Granted, that has more to do with a private joke I once made to someone else than me relating George Bush to Scooby, but it is what I'd do/say :p).

What would you do if Brad Pit walked past you?
hit him for being thick and ugly :D

Hit him for ruining the Illiad.

Walk carefully so as not to squash any of his little people.

not a thing as I wouldn't recognize him.

Nothing (if I even recognized him).

Think "Was that brad pitt?" while walking and then get distracted by another random non-important thing.

What is your reaction to shiny things?

"ooooo shinyyy!" *follows with great interest*

Sunglasses.

What is your reaction to shiny things?

"ooooo shinyyy!" *follows with great interest*

Exactly the same ;) :p

<-- Easily distracted by sparkly objects. :D

"Ow, ow, ow, m'eyes!"

Either, Oh my god, stop it, i have a hangover or it pushes my fight or flight button ;)

Fascinated and drawn in to take a closer look. Usually, it turns out to be nothing but a lovely distraction. ;)

Or a discarded chewing gum wrapper...

Oh God....ROFL!!! Yes Cog...even the occasional chewing gum wrapper..;)

What is so good about Oreos? Honestly? And what is with the twist, lick and stick thing??

Three words:
Chocolate
Chocolate
Chocolate!

Who said their good?

Most overrated junk on the planet ;)

What is so good about Oreos? Honestly? And what is with the twist, lick and stick thing??

I like them when they get stale and lose their crispiness. I purposely open the package really widely and leave them in the refrigerator for a few days before I crack into them.

There's just no explaining....:rolleyes:

Crunchy, tasty, creamy. Just don't eat too much.

They're pretty meh, I'd rather have plain ol' chocolate chip cookies.

If you ran this thread because you were all powerful (like me) than what would you ask?

"Why?"

:p

I wasn't asking YOU :P

If you were me what would you ask?

"Could you run that credit card number by me just one more time?"

=P

If you ran this thread because you were all powerful (like me) than what would you ask?

"When do I ascend the throne?" :cool:

"If you were God for an hour, what would you change?"

Time

Id slow it down, down, down

;)

Hmm ... that could come in handy.

Oh - lest I become a thread jacker, here's another question for ya Witch,

"How can bring a little more Rumpole into my life?"

Hmmm.
There's so many things I would want to change.
I'd probably just flood the earth since that seems to be the godly way.

Would you flood the world with marshmallows? (lol. Another question lol.)

haha, flooding the earth it MM's would be cool then you could make a blistering week of heat to melt them, and make everything sticky!

No I'd just drink a lot of water.
If you catch my drift. LOL.

Would you flood the world with marshmallows? (lol. Another question lol.)

lol! I wonder what made you think of that?

OK so I guess I might fess up - I don't really like plain marshmallows. They need to be with chocolate or something (except for mint ones).

Methnks someone is running out of questions :D

I'd hate to see the result of a heat wave on the marshmallow piles.

Hey Fantasy, I could always ghost write a few for you. This thread can't die.

Is there anyone you secretly love? And if you could tell them do you think it would be perfect?

|No. I'm with my perfect guy :D

Yes ... but I told myself already. LOL!

Ok ... seriously ... nope. My wife knows I love her.

Haha, I'm too young to fall in love. I think whenever I'm attracted to a girl, it's just a muddled mess of hormones maturing. But honestly, I don't know if I could have a 'perfect' relationship or not. My last two were anything but... oh no, I'm being cynical. I shouldn't do that! :p

There is no one I secretly love... yet. Hopefully sometime in the future, but when it happens it happens.

What is your biggest highschool regret?

Dropping out. LOL.
Actually not really, since I got my GED anyway.
So. Probably being too shy to talk to the guy I had a really huge crush on.

Is there anyone you secretly love? And if you could tell them do you think it would be perfect?

I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Fantasy :D :p


What is your biggest highschool regret?

I guess not standing up for myself as much as I should have.

Biggest highschool regret... well I have exams this month but compulsory attendance is over for me. I guess my regret would not be changing schools at the start of year 11 and not year 7. Long story short, I was much happier in years 11-12 than years 7-10.

What is your biggest high school regret?

Bad 80's hair. I was a repeat offender! :D

At one point or another, yes! :redface:

What is your biggest highschool regret?

Allowing the staff, teachers and principle, to bully me out of taking a teacher of the school to court for her dog attacking myself and my horse!

Bad 80's hair. I was a repeat offender! :D

http://www.bbc.co.uk/totp2/features/wallpaper/images/640/kajagoogoo.jpg


Ahahaha!
You're too shy, shy
hush hush eye to eye! ;)

Biggest high school regret? That I didn't really get past my shyness around girls a bit more.

If you could have kicked a teachers ass would you of? And why?

Oh yes. Because the teachers should stop bullying, not partake of it themselves.

First runner up: Mrs. Parslow, 7th grade English, who never showed any understanding of creativity, and whose only goal was keeping order - at which she failed miserably.

Winner: Mrs. Scott, 7th and 8th grade Mathematics, who managed to drain any possible life out of the subject, and inspired only a loathing for math in her students. (Fortunately, the following year, at a new school, Mrs Wever was the exact opposite - she instilled an enthusiasm for the challenge of Geometry proofs, and brought the fun back into the subject.)

No, and for a damn good reason too! o_O

Oh yes. Because the teachers should stop bullying, not partake of it themselves.

Agreed 100%

Ms Wilson - Biology GCSE.
That women was pure evil, she'd tell me I was stupid and when I got an A for GCSE all she said was "Well, I don't know how you managed that." - I studied, and I'm not stupid.

If you could have kicked a teachers ass would you of? And why?

Dr. Robertson, Bio-Chem.

Every other word was UM. It drove me insane!!!! :eek:

"When, um, the, um, ammonia molecule, um, reacts, um... ...the, um, ATP cycle, um, is, um, dependent, um, on, um, the reaction, um..." :eek:

*minor anxiety attack after having just typed that*

Mrs Hewit

The "Umm,and Ahh" factor as mentioned above.

I think i got so bored a noted her mms down too 300 umms and her ahs down to 250 in one lecture (30 minuute lecture do too her IT skills).

She could NEVER work the frigging computer, so we had to wait 15 minutes while the computer would work for lectures to begin (the fact 300 students wouldnt help her said something). But when i first started uni i liked missing out on 15 minutes of boring lectures, but after a while, it got stupid!

2) Mrs Dunkin

The kind that smiled to your parents, but would bare her razor fangs at you when they left. Hated her with a passion. If she wasent 500 pounds at the time i think i would have smacked the women (ok probably not!), was i was in year 3 and OMG, she scared me. I remember once i braught mud into the corridor (shoes) and she made me go back and forth between room and toilet to grab one peice of toliet paper to wipe up the mud, it took an hour! witch!

Oh! I forgot Miss Wilbur, 6th grade. She insisted that household electricity is direct current, "...because the lights don't flicker."

That was in one of the two science sessions she taught over the full year. I wonder why...

If you could have kicked a teachers ass would you of? And why?

Yes, there is this one teacher who I really cannot stand. He asks wierd question, like holding a computer mouse to my mouth and asking how I feel to have finished my coursework first. Then being all wierd when I say I'm not bothered. Or the other day, he is staring at me, so I say "what". He says he didn't say anything, and I said aye, but he was staring. He said
"I just wonder what you think sometimes," to which I replied
"At the moment I'm thinking what are you looking at." My mates chips in and goes "she's thinking happy thoughts" to which he glares at me and goes "I doubt it".
I mean, what the hell ??



Sorry, rant over ....

LOL! I have kicked a teacher's ass .... I did get into a fight once with a colleague. lol.

YES!

To name a few....
Ch. Troutt. (Can't speak english correctly. Lived here his entire life)
Mrs. Martin. (Forced me to use right hand for writing, I'm left handed, told my parents I was going to grow up and be suicidal. Not joking. Made me eat with right hand at lunch. every single day. I was a third grader)
Mr. Kirkham. (Didn't teach. At all.)
Ch. Vincent (Hated me in general.)
Mrs. Bradley (Told me on the last day "I don't care if I ever see you again.")


OKay, I'm done. :P

I think a lot of the time the people that become teachers shouldn't be the ones teaching, because they really don't care and are often bitter. I only recall one or two teachers I was actually fond of.
Especially reading over your guys' posts. Damn. xD

I did have this teacher in second grade - Mrs. Smith - who always had it out for me.
One time when I turned in a paper without my name on it she held it over the trash and said that whomever it belonged to had to come and get it. So I had to dig it out in front of everyone (I was deathly shy when I was younger). She knew it was mine obviously since it was the only one without a name. e_e
She did a lot of things like that.
My mom took me out and put me in a different class lol.

Also, this isn't a teacher per say, but I really hated the security guard at our high school. He was a lazy bum who never did anything, and I skipped a lot.
So finally after about a week he decides to catch me and my best friend - and I never lied to him and said I wasn't skipping - I said that we were getting coffee. He called my teacher from the office and told him that I /said/ that he said I could leave class, which isn't what I said at all. Which made me look like a liar and that I was putting words into peoples mouths.
I wanted to kick his ass, yeah. LOL. This was back when I was really shy also so I felt extremely intimidated to go back to that class. So I dropped it. u.u It was just an elective though. :p

Another teacher I never got - for a completely different reason - was my ninth grade history teacher. She LOVED me. I mean like I was her favorite student, and I flunked. I never did my homework. And she always left me comments on my paper and not other peoples rofl.
Strange.

-is talking way too much about this-

Are you in agreement that Batman is a big emo?

Not half as emo as spiderman.

Are you in agreement that Batman is a big emo?

Not half as emo as spiderman.

They're both pretty emo.

The EMOlution of super heroes.... I liked it better when they all had a club house and would just hang out in between saving the world.

http://www.squishedfrog.com/images/justicehall_small.jpg

I disagree, maybe The new batman, but not batmsan in general.

I could never see an emo standing up for themselves and actually doing anything. (Like a hey would just cry and bitch about something (more like spiderman i guess.

Nah, doesn't fit, apart from black clothing and the black around the eyes. The attitude isn't at all emo, and the Batman doesn't mope about or whine.

Are you in agreement that Batman is a big emo?
Ermmm, no.

Actually, what does Emo mean, 'cos here we use it as an insult for someone who is reeeeeeealy emotional.

Emo: a pain in the ass self-harmer who thinks thw rold is on their shoulders.

or

The fashion style EMO: which includes arm warmers, black and purple and is sort of a re-vamp of punk.

Don't forget ostentatiously sensitive. They are all about laying out their feelings like organs on an autopsy table.

Can you just see the Batman doing that?

Thank you :)

&& I aint ever seen batman so can't really comment.

Just while theres relevance!

LOL speedy LOL!

spiderman's the emo one, don't y'all remember spidey 3?

Spider-Man is more bipolar...he's emo as himself, but also awesome when he's cracking jokes.

Batman, however, is not emo, and I would like to deduct ten good karma points from your karma bank for you suggesting that.

I have to agree with everyone else and say no.
I mean his parents were killed in front of him and everything - I think he takes it pretty well by fighting back.
Like other people have mentioned, not very emo-like.
I don't even really find Spiderman emo.

I take emo as moping about in a 'depression' over something mild and not deserved of so much emotion.
Batman/Spiderman both have pretty decent reasons to be angry/upset I'd say.

Batman - boarderline psychotic

Emo - usually the victim of a boarderline psychotic

Who is Kron? Answers on the back of a postcard please.

Me!

Oh wait, I'm the walrus...

Kron .... I dated a girl with that last name.

What sort of geek are you?

The good kind :D

Lol, nah, I'm kinda a sci-fi geek, but I only like good sci-fi.

A toxic mixture of band geek and sci-fi geek.

I'm pretty sure I'm not a geek. :p

What sort of geek are you?
A secret geek XD

What sort of geek are you?

I am the very rare Gay Sci-Fi Geek

I'm pretty sure I'm not a geek. :p

So is that geek-in-denial, then? :p

A closeted geek.

What do you think is going to far in writing? What is "To Real To Read"

I don't think there's anything "too real to read."
Actually...the more real a writing is, more likely it is for me to read it.

I suppose too real to read would be a literary equivalent of a cinema verite that tried to follow a mundane life in real time. For example, if the character is staring blankly out the window for ten minutes, having ten minutes worth of writing describing every moment comprising that ten minutes.

It may be absolutely faithful to the subject matter, but I doubt it could be written well enough to capture and hold my interest no matter how skilled the wordsmithing.

Please don't go out of your way to prove me wrong on this!

Hm...Well, people don't just stare out of windows for 10 minutes. When they do it, they usually think about more things that could possibly be written on 10 pages, so if you describe their thoughts, it would be interesting. :p

Cog brings up a good point. Really real could mean the most mundane of life's actions or the most graphic of violence.

What do you think is going to far in writing? What is "To Real To Read"

I don't think there is such a thing ... what one man thinks is too far, the other will love.

And Cog, I have tried that looking out of a window thing, I actually wrote about if for my descriptive writing in my GCSE. "Describe the view from your window". I got full marks :D

Ulysses is considered one of the most influential books in the english language. It's about 800 pages long, and details one day in an ordinary Dubliner's life. Problem is, you have to dedicate your whole life to it to fully understand it. Is that cool, or what?

Anyway, it depends on the context. Having rape scenes in a children's book is probably "to far"...

It may make a good exercise for awareness and attention to detail. But my point was that fiction needs to filter out the irrelevant. A perfect reflection of reality is not desireable.

Ever read a transcript of an audio recording, complete with the "uh"s, pauses, throat-clearing, and other details we tend to automatically edit out when we listen? It's dreadfully dull reading. The same would be true if your novel verite chronicled every fidget, fart and neck pop of your character.

Do you think drugs should be legal and that would help solve some of the problem?

Do you think drugs should be legal and that would help solve some of the problem?

Ten years ago I'd have said 'yeeeess!!!', but now I'm not so sure. Western societies already have a large underclass that can't effectively participate in those societies. They have little in the way of opportunities and stimulus and drugs often fill that gap. We need to create better opportunities all-round before we legalise drugs, otherwise we'll just increase the dependancy and disfunctionalism of those underclasses even further.

Do you think drugs should be legal and that would help solve some of the problem?

No...

I think drugs should be decriminalized, not legalized. Too many resources are wasted in chasing down and prosecuting users, and sticking them with criminal records that do not help - it makes them less likely to be able to find gainful employment, leading to more crime as they have to take illegal measures to support themselves and their habit.

Under decriminalization, they would be issued a summons, similar to a traffic violation. They could then be ordered to enter treatment programs, especially with multiple violations. Meanwhile, enforcement efforts would focus more on importers and dealers, who would still be treated as felons.

Moreover, with decriminalization, the possibility is reopened of supplying drugs to addicts in controlled quantities as part of a treatment program, which would have the side effect of lowering what addicts would be willing to pay for a fix. That in turn would lower the profit margin associated with illegal drug distribution, making it less attractive to organized crime (drug cartels as well as more traditional mob organizations).

It needs to be treated more as a medical disorder and less as a crime. Obviosuly, though, laws against things like driving while impaired should remain in full force, and in fact with increased penalties.

Do you think drugs should be legal and that would help solve some of the problem?Definitely no. Some people have seriously very bad reactions from them.

And alcohol's legal, yet so many people drink, so don't know how drugs being legal would help solve the problem.

And alcohol's legal, yet so many people drink, so don't know how drugs being legal would help solve the problem.Legalizing alcohol quickly eliminated bootlegging as organized crime's principal source of revenue.

The same would be true if your novel verite chronicled every fidget, fart and neck pop of your character. Can't say I ever have listened to one of those tapes.

And I wasn't trying to like say you were wrong or anything, only you said don't go out of your way to prove me wrong and .... doesn't matter, wasn't very funny.

Do you think drugs should be legal and that would help solve some of the problem?
No, not at all. I am sorry but that is a sure way down the wrong path. I have seem some freaky stuuf happen when my other mates have dabbled in drugs.

I mean, one lass says "it would be fun to deal. Nothing bad like cocaine, but pills and whizz is fine". Making it legal is not going to discourage anyone, only make it easier for the smackheads to get their fix.

And I wasn't trying to like say you were wrong or anything, only you said don't go out of your way to prove me wrong and .... doesn't matter, wasn't very funny.What I meant is I have no interest in reading a bunch of stories in which people try to show every detail in real time, relevant or not. I don't want people to waste a lot of time (theirs OR mine) trying to come up with a good story using that approach.

Do you find it hard to concentrate at times? When are these times? And what do you do to solve the problem?

Do you find it hard to concentrate at times?
Yes, I find it hard to concentrate 99% of the time.
When are these times?
heh! Every single day since December last year roughly. :rolleyes:
And what do you do to solve the problem?
erm... I don't think that is possible to do! Considering the reason why I can't concentrate... <giggle>

Do you find it hard to concentrate at times?
...
...
I'm sorry - what was the question?

I'm answering the first question XD "have you ever been sacked?"

Not sacked but i got warned.
I worked at this crappy call center for 4 hours every evening.
Each call took like two minutes and that's if they answered and listened to you.
So thats alot of calls :(
But i got a warning because i decided to start sword fighting people with a ruler and using the rollable chairs as a chariot XD We thought nobody was looking.

Do you find it hard to concentrate at times? When are these times? And what do you do to solve the problem?Sometimes when I'm sleepless or too tired.
A coffee and/or energizer usually helps! :D

Do you find it hard to concentrate at times? When are these times? And what do you do to solve the problem?

Yes, when I'm tired, and I sleep :) (or drink coffee/red bull, but that's not a good solution)

Do you find it hard to concentrate at times? When are these times? And what do you do to solve the problem?
Rarely. I go eat, it's easy for me to concentrate when I'm eating.

Do you find it hard to concentrate at times?

Only on things other people find important.

When are these times?

When I'm trying to concentrate on things that I find important.

And what do you do to solve the problem?

Use words that won't post on this site. :D

^ lol! I have to ditto what Wrey said. :)

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where you you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?

In a nice house soemwhere bang between home and Edinburgh, with a big back garden and someone else to do the hovering. And i would probably want to teach part time.

Id be living in the country (A place calle Eden in Australia), Right in the middle of the ocean and mountains.

Id be helping my girlfriend start up a business with craft stuff so she can quit the law crap.

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where you you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?


I don't care as long as my loaf and children are with me. And yes, I would be doing other things, writing is my hobby, I write for love of it, I don't want it to become something I am required to do to survive. So I'd want to have another job of some sort.

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where you you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?Yes, I would be doing other things. In particular, I would want to teach college math and science.

maths?! Are you kidding... ewww.

Maths is awful!

:O
Math is brilliant. The best subject ever

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where you you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?


I'd probably still be in this town or the city. However, I would like to be a social worker along with writing.

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where you you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?
I'd want to be a game designer, besides a writer.

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where you you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?

I'd want to do something else as well...But don't know what. I still have to choose my future profession.

EVen if I was bringing in Stephen King money from my writing, I'd still show up to work everyday to teach my sudents.

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where you you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?

Nothing much would change for me - I'd probably just live in a bigger house and buy more toys than I already do. :)

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where would you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?
By then, I would have my college degree in English lit. I would be living on my own in a quirky, charming older house near the water on Bainbridge Island. My small and cozy office would be upstairs, giving me an awesome view of the city of Seattle including the Space Needle. I would be writing, hiking, traveling, and reading. I'd also be tutoring underprivileged kids in elementary or middle school in math or reading. Oh, and also, I'd be dating a really hot drummer from a local band. :D

Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?

Good question - somewhat, i loved Grease (well, not when i was younger, but its somehow grown on me, im not sure why, its fun maybe). And i loved moulin rogue.

Other than the above (and there is so many musicals out there these dasys!), nope.

Recently i've been to see a lot of plays/broadway shows, and i've seen Rocky Horror picture Show (Love it, brought up on it since day one). And this year i got the chance to se The Phantom of The Opera.............. holy cow it was good (i mean brillant), will see it again next time (RIP Rob lowe btw).

There really is no reaspn why i like them, i just do (and considering the diversity of the ones i like). Just personal choice.

I loved Brigadoon. It was an amazing romantic fantasy story, and beautifully played.

Other favorites: The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, West Side Story.

Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?

Yep. I like them. No special reason why I do or do not.

Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?

I'm an actress in Musical Theatre... that says it all.
Of course I love them, though some are better than others.

Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?I love some of them. Depends on quality and plot.

If you could gurantee your writing sucess where would you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?

I would like to see myself living in a cottage in the South of France, with a beautiful study and views of mountains or something. I'd own a little bakery / coffee house in the local village, where I'd make all of my own things. But I'd also have my pictures in a few magazines, because of course my books have been made into box office movies and I get to go to all the premiers.

aye if only ......


Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?

Omg I love them ... they are fantastic. Especially the Disney variety. I just love singing along.

Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?

Not particularly. Why? Because you can't bring up musicals at a gay party without people getting a little out of hand. :rolleyes:

So you just have to stay in a "musicals closet" - enjoy them in secret, and NEVER bring it up at a party!

Ironic, if you think about it. Stereotypes can fetter you in avoiding them too.

If you could guarantee your writing sucess where would you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?

Ooh, what a fun question. I'd probably like to be living just outside of a nice big city- Boston or London maybe- with a spouse, and maybe a gig as a piano player somewhere. Since my books are hits with most everyone, I don't mind attending a few reading sessions now and then.

Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?

Yes, but it's not that I go in for the campy 'gay' ones like Hello Dolly or A Chorus Line (don't wanna see 'em), it's more that I like the big trippy ones where I can sit and go "ooh pretty"- like Across the Universe or Moulin Rouge. I like musicals because I just like the idea of getting all La Vie Boheme and dancing on the tables with all my friends somewhere...just generally being crazy and getting away with it.
Duzzat make sense?

If you could guarantee your writing sucess where would you like to be in ten years time? Where would you stay? Would you be doing other things as well as writing?

i would so love to be staying in either liverpool or tokyo, because thats where the two things i am most passionate about, other than writing, reside. LFC and anime. i would probably be neck deep in trying to get into the gaming industry but thats still an ongoing project:p

Are you a fan of musicals? Why? Why not?

i really hate it when people break out into song in the middle of the movie, it brings me back to reality and reminds me that im not an anime character, but seriously that doesn't happen in real life right...im confused:confused:

Do you often have days when you get uber stressed out? How do you deal with stress?

Stressed? Oh yeah. Right now, money is my main stress factor. I've just started college, and I can hardly pay for it. It's a hassle!
How do I deal? I'm lucky. My boyfriend and my best friend let me vent my frustrations to them, and then proceed to tell me it's okay and to relax, which helps me. I've got an easy stress relief system going on.

Do you often have days when you get uber stressed out? How do you deal with stress?

more often than the normal days but i usually deal with it by listening to Danny Dumps Radio. classical stuff:D always gets me back on track.

Do you often have days when you get uber stressed out? How do you deal with stress?

I kill people.

Do you often have days when you get uber stressed out? How do you deal with stress?


I go running. I run and I run and I run until I feel like I have had Drano poured through my lungs, and then I run some more.

It usually does the trick. :cool:

I don't kill people. And if they just happen to disappear, it is merely a coincidence.

And there ain't no proof contrariwise, no matter what ya mighta heard.

For about a year I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer to cool down, but then I finished the series... now I either a) play lots of piano, or b) actually crack down and do what I'm supposed to be doing. Then when it's done, I feel happy.

Do you often have days when you get uber stressed out? How do you deal with stress?I don't.
I just think about worst possible ways things can work out then get depressed. Then I wollow in self-pity for a day or so, spipping school and just sitting at home doing nothing...usually friends or a sunny day can get be back up on the mood, though.

Do you often have days when you get uber stressed out? How do you deal with stress?

I just think about killing the people that stress me out. But if they go missing it’s not my fault. They just happened to slip over the cliffs edge, on a banana skin. The fact that I placed that Banana skin their is purely coincidental.

Whats up with your face?

Whats up with your face?It shows my character, who I am.
That's why I wouldn't want to change a thing on it.


P.S. And it's pretty. :p

Whats up with your face?

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Whats up with your face?

Whats up with your face?The truck that hit you also hit me. :p

Whats up with your face?

My face?

Well, it's me of course!

It has my life written upon it.

Every scar (there are a few) is a story.

Every wrinkle is a laugh.

Every freckle is a visit to the beach.

Every inch that my hairline recedes is testimony to the years I have lived.

It's me!

It's not the prettiest face ever made, but I like it. And my smile makes other people smile. That's worth a million bucks, anyday. :D

My face?

Why, it's my best asset!

Oh, man, don't leave me straight lines like that!

Cogito! There are small innocent types on this board! (Possibly.) =P

My face? It's very sick, it's got strep, hence the red eyes and puffed-up ears. I'm not sure why that happens when I'm sick, but I swear, I look like I stole them from Barack Obama (and painted them a blushin' red).

Whats up with your face?

o_O I don't know! I can't see it!

*is now extremely paranoid and searching for a mirror* :eek:

Do you often get very attatched to your characters?

Do you often get very attached to your characters?


Some of them, yes. I've even had characters who didn't work out in one story get brought back for a second chance in another, unrelated story.

Do you often get very attatched to your characters?No, never, but probably because I have never been serious about my writing.

Do you often get very attatched to your characters?

Yes. So much so that I sometimes focus too much on a character who really does not matter in the context I'm writing.

Do you often get very attatched to your characters?

Not really. I get excited about a character that is working well in a story, but attached? No. The story is what matters to me. If I find I have to rework a character into someone barely recognizable, I'll do so, and my only regret will be all the rewriting that would entail.

He or she is not my imaginary buddy. He or she serves a particular purpose in a story, and either fulfills that purpose, or doesn't. If it's a minor deviation. I may set something or someone in the way to deflect him or her along the right path.

I have no trouble keepping the line between fiction and reality from blurring. :)

Do you often get very attatched to your characters?

Occasionally, to the ones I kill in the end. Actually, me getting attatched is pretty much tantamount to signing their death warrant. It always seems to work, that the story demands from me a sacrifice of the characters I most want to survive.

Yes, usually my RPG characters. I tend to recycle them a lot, there's one in particular named Morian who's been in so many different incarnations it's ridiculous. She started out as a Greek goddess, but since then she's been everything from a space mercenary to a modern-day tomboy named Mory Anne. Still hasn't lost her uniqueness, though.

Will you admit to knowing the words to a kids programme theme tune?

If I did, then yes, I would.

Will you admit to knowing the words to a kids programme theme tune?

I know the words to SO MANY of them it isn't funny. I have two kids, ages 4 and 3, I hear kids programmes and movies all the time and watch them with the kids as well. It is nice when all three of us cuddle up with a big blanky and some snacks and watch TV together. So of course I'd know quite a lot of them after 4 years. Nothing to be ashamed of! :)

Lots and lots! I barely (if ever) stopped being their target demographic, so me and my friends enjoy singing such standard hits as The Fairly Oddparents or Phineas and Ferb on the bus.

♫Timmy is an average kid
Who no one understands...♪

Sure, but I haven't been very impressed with the latest offerings. It's Saturday morning, and the current cartoons on the schedule just aren't any fun. :(

Will you admit to knowing the words to a kids programme theme tune?

I know the opening theme to many kids shows. I'm old enough not to be embarrassed by such things.

I can even quote, in perfect timing, the opening monologue to Avatar: The Last Airbender (Avatar: The Legend of Aang in the UK) as spoken by Katara, last Waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe, sister to Sokka, and love interest of Aang. :p

Will you admit to knowing the words to a kids programme theme tune?

Gummi bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere! High adventure that's beyond compare! They are the gummi bears! They are the gummi bears!


My Little Pony! My Little Pony. Isn't the world a lovely place? My Little Pony! My Little Pony. Everywhere you go a smiling face. Running and skipping; merrily tripping. Watching the morning unfold. My Little Pony! My Little Pony. What does the future hold?




No, I wouldn't ever tell anyone I knew the songs to a kid's TV show. ^^''

Will you admit to knowing the words to a kids programme theme tune?

Haha, it isn't exactly a theme, but my friend came in singing "Mr. Sun" from Barney, and I couldn't help but join in with him. I still remember it.

Felix the cat
the wonderful, wonderful cat
whenever he gets in a fix
he reaches into his bag of tricks

Yeah, that one goes back a bit...

I could recall some more recent ones too. Saturday mornings are for cartoons. I just wish the latest ones weren't so lame.

If course!
*Yells* FRUIT SALAD!! YUMMY YUMMY!

this is as much as i remember:

Every day when you're walking down the street, everybody that you stop to meet, has an original point of view...

:D

Arthur

I'm not sure if it completely counts but I remember parts of the theme song for the canadian kilted yaksmen from the old Ren and Stimpy cartoon.

yes but most of them are really really old children shows, like super ninja mutant turtles, or the amazing Spiderman (mostly a guitar riff but i can hum it!) and stuff from the nineties...

i still watch cartoons but i'm not sure if south park and American dad can be classified as kid shows.

Will you admit to knowing the words to a kids programme theme tune?..Er, no, I don't know any of them, but probably because I'm still a kid myself and recently outgrew that age. lol

What is guilty food secret?

I eat peanut butter straight from the jar with my fingers then put it back!

I drink over 4-5 glasses of chocolate milk a day...and go through a bottle of chocolate syrup in about 2 or 3 days. I'm addicted. I don't think anyone else in my age group has touched chocolate milk in a year! lol

I take chunks of ice cream out of the carton with my finger to see if I like the flavor.

I lick chocolate spread out of the jar with my finger.
I also binge all weekend on Twixes at my boyfriends house :D Naughty me.

I sometimes go without any food for a day or a day and a half and don't tell anyone. It's not anorexia; I just lack appetite and I'm tired of friends forcing food on me.

**

I also can eat a pint of Haagen Dazs (sp?) ice cream in one sitting.

What is guilty food secret?

I stole the cookie from the cookie jar. :redface:

:eek: It was you!!!


(Actually, on second thought, didn't we put that whole thing to death for a reason?)

:eek: It was you!!!

I swear, I have no idea what you're talking about... http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii295/Violetine/Animated/hmm.gif

Also, don't blame me - blame the bright spark whose idea it was to double-dip them in chocolate and then put them in a ninja-shaped cookie jar that shouts 'oyo!' when you open it.
*had hours of fun coupled with chocolate-y goodness* :D

I stole the cookie from the cookie jar. :redface:

Damn you! I drink about two litres of milk a day, consume at least 50 grams of milo (thats a lot)... basically i have the worst diet ever and teenage metabolism. Yay me.

I'm like him, except I don't know what milo is. I live on fattening foods, but you can always see my ribs.

Would you steal the Queen of Hearts Tarts

I take it the Queen of Hearts is running a brothel?

Now that you mention it, with a name like that, she probably is!

Well, in that case, no thank you, I prefer Mrs. Palm's. (Catch that reference, win my love.)

Would you steal the Queen of Hearts Tarts

Lmao, no,, I don't want to have my head removed really.

&& that question has got me actally laughing out loud. :p

Why yes I would.

Now could you please excuse me while I run about like a chicken.

Hm. No. I 've never had a tart anyway. So...

But then again it's not like she needs it...

Rincewind or the Librarian? Discuss.

Ooh. Ow. OW. DX
Why do you torture me like this?!
I'm gonna need some serious thinking time...

the Librarian.
four arms good, two arms bad.

What is your favoutie snack?

Cold pizza, or french onion dip, or a nutella sandwich

So many choices. I love snacking.

Human kidneys :)

Human kidneys :)

Eugh!

Fav snack would have to be... marmite toast!

What is your favoutie snack?A cake counts?

What is your favoutie snack?
I don't exactly have a "favoutie", but I could really go for some extra spicy chile con queso and some warm tortilla chips.

What is your favoutie snack?

I absolutly love a slice of cold pizza ... only the sort from Asda which you pick your on ingrediants on the top ... it is lush.

Or crumpets with marmite on XD

Probably fresh, warm breadsticks and ice cold apple juice. Yum.

these little sourdough pretzels called nibblers with cheddar cheese, now i really want some...

It's boring but yeah, chips.

humes, it's awsome.

Who would you love to meet in the celeb world!

Hmmm, a question i have to think about.

Probably Clint Eastwood or Al Pacino

Dnaiel Radcliffe)sp) seems to be an interesting fellow as well (might not be a top celeb, but he seems (with what little i have) to have a good head on his shoulders, smart).

OR jessica Rabbit, if only!

Most of 'em are writers...do writers who aren't JK Rowling count as celebrities?

Most of 'em are writers...do writers who aren't JK Rowling count as celebrities?


Well a LOT of people know of her. So sh'd have to really.

Who AREN'T JK Rowling, I said. =P

lol, sorry. Let me put my glasses on ;)

Who would you love to meet in the celeb world!

I want to have fancy martinis with Tori Amos. Yeah! :cool:

What song is stuck in your head?

"I know a song that'll get on your nerves... yada yada yada"

"Shining Light" by Ash

What song is stuck in your head?

"I know a song that'll get on your nerves... yada yada yada"

It's Not Right, But It's Ok, by Whitney Houston was running through my head this morning. Oh, the shame! :redface:

Epiphany---but I guess I don't mind, as long as it doesn't stay there.

Light My Fire - The Doors

I deliberately "stuck" it there to crowd out the song that was on my car radio when I parked and got out.

My school song, which I think is taken from Northwestern University. I played it five times today, yay pep band.

Pocketful of Sunshine

I'm actually sick of that song, but I heard it on the radio coming home tonight.

What do you think qualifies as cheating?

Flirting more than is just natural human nature.

Flirting more than is just natural human nature.

For me its Emotional firtation that bothers me...spending more time with the opposite gender (or withever gender you prefer) then your hubby and talking about things which should be spoken to your love, or no spoken about with this "other person" (you know the whole emotional affair).
