Truth or truth game

[Rudy]

Video games.

If you were a color, what color would you be? :square:

[Nikita]

purest white :p


You?

[Rudy]

Forest green.

If you were a Ninja Turtle, which Ninja Turtle would you be?

[loosefanbelt]

Sunset colored

I know not the turtles of which you speak to know which one mirrors my soul.

You?

[Rudy]

Donatello. Naturally.

If you were an infectious disease, which infectious disease would you be? (I can keep this up until someone else asks a question ;) )

[Nikita]

(Raphael!)

AIDS


If you were to support only one charity for the rest of your life, which would you support?

[loosefanbelt]

Lockjaw. So I could use it when I wanted peace and quiet.

I would support Habitat for Humanity.

Where is the best place to find you on a Sunday afternoon?

[Rudy]

I'm afraid I'm not an expert on charities. I've supported Goodwill, primarily because they give job training, rather than just handouts, so I'd probably choose them based on my limited knowledge.

My weekends are not functionally different from my weekdays. I work, and play, on either. So, anywhere, really. Here, most likely, of late. ;)

How do you feel about rainy days?

[WyohKnott]

I like them, in moderation.

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be and why?

[Nikita]

rainy days: don't like to work on them, but love them otherwise

a shaolin temple in china, not for religious purposes...


How would you describe your most horrendous haircut/hairstyle?

[Rudy]

Buzzcut. I have a frikken enormous cranium (as I'm sure everyone has noted.) If my hair is clipped too short, I look like a lightbulb.

Same question.

[Nikita]

a perm as a kid, my mother's idea


To which fictional school would you like to go?

[Rudy]

I'd like to say something less cliche than Hogwarts, but it's hard to beat learning magic.

EDIT: The Mages' Training School in the Saga of Recluse would work well for me, too. More discipline there, as well.

What fictional town would you most like to live in?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Silverymoon


What mythical being do you most relate to?

[Rudy]

Nikita's answer: Phoenix

Mine: Probably D&D elves, at least when it comes to my attitude towards life.

You?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Dragons (good ones)


What is your favorite smell?

[Subverted]

Huckleberries or a small mountain creek right after a rainstorm.

How many(if any) tickets have you gotten from law enforcement?

[Rudy]

None. It's not that I don't speed, or whatnot, I just do so... judiciously.

What is the most illegal thing that you've gotten away with?

[altoid]

Tickets: Just two tickets. One speeding ticket and one seat-belt violation - that one was going to be a speeding ticket, but he changed his mind while he was writing it. He said I reminded him of his daughter. :p

Illegal thing: I really can't think of anything illegal I've done...a straight arrow I am. Perhaps trespassing.

Same question. What is the most illegal thing that you've gotten away with?

[Rudy]

Shoplifting a few times as a young teenager. I was a punk; no excuses...

If you could transmit one idea/invention/concept to an ancient civilization, which would you choose?

[Subverted]

The atomic bomb...civilizations in past times would learn the dangers quickly and grow to fear it...I hope. None of this mutually assured destruction crap.

What is your favorite band?

[Rudy]

I really don't have a favorite. If I had to pick, then probably Billy Joel. Or, if you meant a band consisting of several personalities, probably the Eagles. It's really not a strong preference, though.

You?

[Subverted]

Currently... VNV Nation, Seabound, or Negative Format...

To the next poster, do you have any birth defects? If so, what kind(s)?

[Harmony]

I actually have a knot on the side of my neck. It's not visible, but you can feel it. I like to refer to myself as Frankenstein. :) (heh, how fun, my first post of the day put me at 3000 posts :p)

Have you ever seen someone with six fingers on one hand?

[Tranquillity]

yes. The kid had a finger branching off the little finger.

What are you thinking about right now?

[Rudy]

I'm thinking about the poor little kid with a finger branching off of his little finger. Before that I was thinking about my recent acceptance to U.Penn's econ program.

What are you most dreading in the next... week?

[Harmony]

(A waiter at a Mexican restaurant had the exact same thing!)

This weather better seriously warm up like they say it is... I wonder why he hasn't replied... I wonder if the paper work really will go through by the beginning of next week. My hair is really getting on my nerves today... :p

Dreading paying some medical bills... Actually, I'm more irritated than dreading. :p

What word do you seem to use the most in a day?

[Rudy]

Obviously it's one of the common words: "the", "a", etc. However, the words/phrases I seem to use ubiquitously, as compared to other people, include: "fatuous", "in any case", and "interesting."

Yourself?

[Harmony]

Actually... I'm noticing that I use actually WAY TOO MUCH!

What are you looking forward to this week? (If anything :p)

[dalidaisy]

Work. I actually have some!

You?

[Harmony]

Returning the signed paperwork back to the attorney... And getting my car insurance changed. :)

Do you drink coffee? If so how do you drink it? (black, cream and sugar, etc.)

[dalidaisy]

No, yuk!

How much coffee do you consume a day & are you happy with that amount?

[Harmony]

Hmmm I drink coffee maybe once a month, so I think that averages down to like a tablespoon a day ;)... Tea on the other hand is a different story... And I'm okay with both of those amounts. :p

Do you own a lot of clothes?

[Wapiti]

I've got half a closet full and 3 drawers packed. I usually only where a select few things though and could likely get rid of a bunch.

You?

[Harmony]

Even after throwing over 1/3 of my wardrobe away... I still have my closet crammed full of clothes (two racks worth) and even more in the shelves of my dressers... I think I've got an addiction. :(

When you smile do you show your teeth or not?

[Rudy]

Only if the emotion involved (happiness, amusement, etc.) is very strong. I smile a lot, but the teeth are probably only shown once or twice a day.

How much money would someone have to pay you to shave your head? (You're allowed to grow it back out.)

[dalidaisy]

Not usually, but I rarely really smile. (Although lately I've been smiling quite a bit. Life is good...)

Clearly, yours do...

Shave head: Nothing, I'd probably do it on a dare, but you'd all have to love me anyway as I grew it back (which would take forever!)...

Can you keep your eyes open when you sneeze?

[Harmony]

It would never, ever happen. They could offer me a million dollars and I still wouldn't do it. Seriously... No way.... I can't even cut it any shorter than my chin as it is. :p

Dear God, no way. My sneezes are vicious. :p (LoL, yeah nearly all my pictures show my teeth!)

Do you have a business card?

[dalidaisy]

Yes

Do you?

[Harmony]

Yep, and I think I've given out a whopping five of them. :p Never knew why I needed them....

Do you ever physically write letters anymore or type them all up now?

[dalidaisy]

I write letters when I want to convey something more personal

When you type a letter, do you sign it with a pen or do you use a computer signature or stamp?

[Rudy]

I do occasionally. I like writing in cursive; I even have a journal I sometimes write in. It's a purely sentimental act on my part, born out of some nostalgic wistfulness I have for an age of pen and ink.

If it's something I print out, then I sign it with a pen.

Yourself?

[Harmony]

Sign it with a pen! At work we had all of our signatures scanned in... I always forgot to use mine though. :p

If a person has bad breath do you let them know in some way or do you just let it go?

[Rudy]

If it's a long term relationship of some kind, I try to let them know (unless it's my boss, or someone with direct power over me.) If I'll only be seeing them a few times, I let it go.

What basic courtesy or "table manner" do you find most off-putting when it is lacking?

[Mozzes]

Demanding instead of asking or politely requesting.

you?

[Harmony]

I get kind of annoyed at family meals when someone asks how things are going and before I can even answer they are already rambling about themselves...

What food would you classify as your weakness?

[Rudy]

I was thinking of "talking with food in your mouth," and other petty things myself, but yours is a far more important one, I have to admit, so I'm going to steal it.

Dark chocolate!

Do you have a will? If so, who is/are your beneficiaries?

[Harmony]

I don't have a will, but I do have life insurance, and my parents are my beneficiaries.... Even when I got married... I never changed it...

You ?

[Rudy]

No will, no life insurance, but I am in the process of creating a will.

Do you have any nationalistic feeling?

[reb]

no. frankly, i cannot see that we have a nation any longer.

if you had some kids, and they were nitwits, who would you leave your earthly possessions to?

[Mozzes]

Nationalistic feelings? I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. I would say I love my country but I would stop well short of considering myself a jingoist, fascist, etc.

I plan on leaving most of whatever wealth I have when I die to charity regardless of if my offspring is competent enough to inherit it.

Do you think you'll be a person who welcomes retirement or do you think you'll work until you die?

[Harmony]

I think I'll work till I die... Most of my working life I've held multiple jobs at once... The only reason I'm not now is because I'm going back to school.

You?

[dalidaisy]

All I want to do is play, so retirement will be awesome! Although I have a terrible need to work, I think if I keep myself busy with the fun, it won't matter...

You?

[Rudy]

If they were *complete* nitwits, I would still probably leave them some money, but the rest of it, and any interesting things I had would either go to friends or other, more interesting relatives (the future children of my sisters, for example, if they were nifty enough.)

I will probably "officially" work until I am at least 70. Then I'll work on other interests...

Do you enjoy organizing (as distinct from cleaning)?

[Harmony]

ETo view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. no. The only thing I seem to be anal retentive about organizing is the way my music is saved on my PC. :p

You?

[Rudy]

... What? Sorry, I was categorizing my book shelves...

Do you stand or dance in the rain, just for the feel of it?

[Mozzes]

Of course.

Don't you?

[Rudy]

As long as it's not too close to freezing, absolutely. Especially in thunderstorms, which makes me especially stupid.

What's the most you've ever spent on a single meal?

[loosefanbelt]

There was that sneaky sushi dinner that ended up being well over $100 per person.... regrets....

YOU?

[Harmony]

Hmm... Probably $20ish... Japanese... Hibachi grill, YUM!

Do you enjoy dressing up?

[dalidaisy]

I do if it's for someone & they are pleased. Myself, I'd rather be comfortable...

You? (I think I already know the answer)

[Harmony]

Mostly I would rather stay casual... But it's like once or twice a year I get the urge to dress up and make myself look like a hollywood star. :p So 363 days a year I'm just you average girl next door, and 2 days are spent as a starlet. ;)

What color grabs your attention more than any other color?

[Mozzes]

dressing up: I do, actually, if not all the time.

color: red...it's quite...provocative.

Do you enjoy climbing trees?

[Harmony]

Yes!!! I swear, I'm like a monkey sometimes! Trees, rocks, counter tops, houses (don't ask)...

You ?

[dalidaisy]

Of course! I'm an avid tree climber. I do love trees!

Do you hike?

[Harmony]

When the weather is nice I do like to make trips over to the Garden of the Gods (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) to go hiking. :)

You ?

[Mozzes]

I live about an hour drive from the AT. I'd love to be able to hike the entire thing one of these days.

How much do you walk per day?

[dalidaisy]

Depends on the weather, but I usually do 4-5 miles at the gym & probably another mile or two outside of that. More on the weekends, especially if hiking.

Do you prefer walking, jogging or running?

[Harmony]

I usually walk... Because if I'm in the neighborhood walking I'm most likely with my mom. If I'm alone I'll jog.

Do you have any injuries from sports?

[WyohKnott]

Do you mean ones that will never fully heal? If so, none very serious... I do have this odd bruise that turned into a lump that won't go away, but it doesn't hurt anymore. As for other, less permanent ones, I've had too many to count... (I'm involved in karate, and it's definitely not gentle on the body)

Do you have to make yourself exercise, or do you enjoy it enough that you look forward to it?

[Harmony]

Usually I have to make myself. Unless it's abs or arms, it's just anything that involves my knee that hurts me.

Would you make a good tutor?

[Rudy]

I make myself exercise with DDR!

I do make an excellent tutor, or so tutees have told me...

Do you gamble? (This includes lottery tickets/scratch-offs)

[WyohKnott]

No, I've never understood the appeal of it...

What is the strangest/most unpleasant way you've ever been woken up?

[Harmony]

My boyfriend at the time strangling me in my sleep... Yeah, that was a fun conversation once I got his ass to stop dreaming and wake up.

What do you think is the worst "7 Deadly Sins" to have?

[WyohKnott]

Probably... sloth.

Same question.

[Harmony]

I think for me it's greed...

Do you drink milk?

[WyohKnott]

Yes, but recently it's been affecting me oddly, so I'm going to try cutting it out.

What is the weirdest food or combination of foods that you like?

[Harmony]

I like to eat tuna fish on pretzels... My mom seems to think I'm weird for that...

You ?

[WyohKnott]

(Lol, that actually sounds really good to me... I'll have to try it)
I like bacon and bananas together - a bite of each, at the same time.

Do you prefer to be slightly too cold, or slightly too warm?

[Harmony]

Slightly too warm! Nobody can stand to be in a room with me if I have control of a heater. ;)

(Never heard of bacon and bananas together... I'll try just about anything once!)

At a restaurant what do you typically get to drink?

[tp6626]

Cola, Guinness or sometimes a fruit juice, depending on the meal. Oh and if it's an indian, then usually lager, but I won't usually drink lager, just make the exception for curry!

You?

[Harmony]

Usually sweet tea or water.

Do you ever get hangovers?

[altoid]

Yes, I'll usually just feel really woozy and weak. They're always the worst when I drink too much wine.

You?

[Harmony]

I've only had a few... It's usually a killer headache and I'm super weak.

Do you take compliments well ?

[Hasway]

no. I find the bad part of them.
How often to you give compliments?

[SimplyOtter]

Often. But it's not praising, I do think the things I say.

How often do you feel like telling somebody he/she is amazing, and then refrain because you fear it's too much?

[altoid]

Once in a while, around people I think would be uncomfortable about it.

How often do you feel like telling someone (s)he is amazing, and then do so?

[SimplyOtter]

Haha. :) Most of the times, but Im learning to carefully choose the words.
How often do you let yourself be completely happy?

[Jonathan Brewer]

A few times a day but only for short spurts. I am always completely happy when I first come home and my girls come running to me screaming, "Daddy!". ;D


What "necessary" thing do you hate most about your life?

[loosefanbelt]

Dealing with ANY bureaucratic system whatsoever.

You?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Having to tolerate willfully ignorant people.


What is the most "physically" painful thing you have ever experienced?

[loosefanbelt]

When my husband was dying it took all of everything I had and more physically to take care of him at home. Many things that I cannot mention here. I have never felt that taxed physically in my life. I strained many parts of my body to the "almost breaking" point. I would not change it, though.

You?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Wow, I can't even begin to imagine. I am very sorry. I think the most physically excruciating pain I've dealt with has either been kidney stones or severe toothache. It is hard to tell. The kidney stone felt like someone had shattered my organs. The toothache felt like someone stabbed me in the head with an icepick. *shudders*


What is the fulfilling thing you have ever experienced?

[loosefanbelt]

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Sound and light installation that my beloved and I did together a year before his death.

You?

[ClydeB]

Physically painful thing? That would have to be live with a burst appendix for almost one calendar day before breaking down and going to the hospital. Doctors were amazed I didn't die. My first (and only) kidney stone is a somewhat close second. Needless to say I do not hesitate to get checked out now once I hit that level of pain and symptoms.

Fulfilling thing? I'd have to say it was achieving a life goal I set myself as a teen to get to by the year 2000. Which was about 15 years in the future at the time.

What is something you have always wanted to do in your life, but have not gotten to yet?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Go to college.


You?

[dalidaisy]

Skydiving. Always wanted to, but it's gonna have to wait till the kids are grown. Can't go taking the chance of leaving them with out a mother...

Do you have a home theatre system?

[Jonathan Brewer]

No and truthfully don't want one. I hate television and I never have the patience to watch two hours of video... unless it is the Lord of the Rings. ;D


If you could make yourself look like anyone else (body, face, etc.), who would it be?

[dalidaisy]

No and truthfully don't want one. I hate television and I never have the patience to watch two hours of video... unless it is the Lord of the Rings. ;D


If you could make yourself look like anyone else (body, face, etc.), who would it be?

If you had asked me years ago, I could have rambled off numerous individuals, but at this point in my life, I have gained a certain maturity & find that I'd rather be me than anyone else...

You?

[Jonathan Brewer]

The same actually. If I had to pick someone else to look like it would likely be someone like Sean Connery... but that is only because he is a god. ;D


What is the most important thing for someone to learn in life (in your opinion)?

[dalidaisy]

Self-respect

What is the most important thing you've learned in your life thusfar?

[Jonathan Brewer]

The most valuable things in life are not things at all.


What is the most painful lesson you have learned in life?

[dalidaisy]

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering...

You?

[fomatizer]

That I've missed the point when I was sure I was correct. And that it will probably happen again when I'm careless. So I better be careful when it counts.

you?

[Subverted]

Either that doctors do not always know what is wrong(and thus I had near constant pain for 10 months. Or, that love, when not reciprocated can destroy you.

What is your most happy memory?

[fomatizer]

When I felt most free and in the moment. There are many kinds of happy but IMO, joy is in motion.

you?

[Jonathan Brewer]

The birth of my daughters. Two separate events but both brought me equal joy.


What is the most shallow thing you have done?

[dalidaisy]

Used my looks to get what I want, to get ahead. I have been shallow in the past. I have since matured...

What's the longest you've gone without being touched by another person?

[Wapiti]

Hmmm, not sure. Probably no more than 3 days. I think that's the longest I've wandered off into no-where alone.

You?

[dalidaisy]

Since having children, hours... However, on the rare occasion that I can get away alone & escape my life for change, I have actually been able to go about 2 1/2 days.

Do you like The Daily Show?

[Wapiti]

Yes and Colbert too.


What's your current, favortie show and why?

[dalidaisy]

Scrubs, because it's about the only show I've ever seen that actually makes me laugh out loud, uncontrollably.

You?

[Rudy]

I haven't watched an episodic tv show in about two years... the last one I liked was House, but I stopped after the third season.

If, in addition to water, you were allowed to drink one beverage for the rest of your life, what would it be?

[WyohKnott]

Tea... probably green tea, with lemon.

What is your least favorite way to communicate?

[dalidaisy]

Phone, I despise using my blackberry for that purpose...

What's your favorite?

[loosefanbelt]

Depends on who it is. Loving relationships - in their presence.

Work - email.

You?

[dalidaisy]

Save for a few people whom I like personal interaction with, I like using this forum...

Do you wear hats?

[Wapiti]

Yes, mainly only when outdoors in the sun.

What is or was for lunch? (I'm hungry)

[dalidaisy]

Oh, for me it will be a salad with some sun-dried tomato vinegrette & almonds. Probably some unsweetened iced tea & pistachio pie for desert. Probably doesn't sound great to you, though, huh?

Whatcha gonna have for lunch?

[Wapiti]

I don't know. I was hoping what you were having would sound good and I'd just have to have the same but salad isn't the thing. I've eaten so much salad for lunch lately. So yeah, doesn't sound great as I've eaten salad almost every week day for over a year.


What's your favorite place in your current house/apartment/dwelling and why?

[loosefanbelt]

Zero gravity chair

You?:lovestruck:

[dalidaisy]

:cry: I want a zero gravity chair! I guess my bed, under the covers. It's my only retreat from the 5 others in this little house...

How far are you from a bathroom?

[Wapiti]

I'd say that I am about 200 feet from the closest bathroom and I have a sudden desire to actually measure the exact distance now.


How far are you from the closest convenience store?

[dalidaisy]

Less than a mile

Do you eat late at night?

[Wapiti]

Not usually. Once in a rare while.


How often do you go into convenience stores?

[dalidaisy]

Once every few months, if that. It's mainly in case of a (near) emergency need for something. I buy my gas at the pump...

How often do you buy groceries?

[loosefanbelt]

I have no habits for groceries.

What age of people is your favorite age group and why? IE babies, toddlers, tweens, teens, college and so on, including elderly.

[MacGuffin]

How often do you buy groceries?

Once a week.

How often do you eat out at a restaurant?

[auriga vega]

Three or four times a month.

How long can you hold your breath under water?

[Wapiti]

The longest I've ever held my breath underwater was 2 minutes but that was quite a while ago.

You?

[Rudy]

No more than 30 seconds. I'm sure I could survive a good deal longer, but I've never been able to force myself to stay under longer than that; the instinct is too strong.

Describe an experience where your fight or flight instinct kicked in.

[fomatizer]

Car accident. The bump from the sideswipe, the airbag, the skidding off the road, the kid screaming, the husband driving... I freaked. I much prefer to be in the driver seat in such a situation.

What's the worst moving violation you've ever received?

[loosefanbelt]

U-Turn in a business district.

How much time do you spend on self-nurture?

[callmemigs]

a maximum of 30 minutes and a minimum of 15 minutes and 20 seconds.

You?

[fomatizer]

Less as I get older.

How much would you like to be pampered (if money and time were no object and pamperers were in abundance)?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Only moderately so. I'd have my own driver, maid, gardener, and maybe a cook. I don't need anything fancy though. I'd just like a nice mansion on Maui. ;D


What is the most irrational belief you hold?

[fomatizer]

That everything has already happened and life is a process of realizing and processing what has happened, but I would put this no higher than suspicion. I have no irrational beliefs that I know of.

Do you believe in fate?

[Nikita]

sometimes...to an extent...but I believe that I ultimately control my own "destiny"


If you were going to live a hermetic existence, what would you do with your time in isolation (what would you study, write, do, etc.)?

[Harmony]

I would probably dedicate all my time to writing my novel. And study information to ensure that everything in my novel was fairly accurate.

How often do you do laundry?

[ClydeB]

Once a week. Unless I get something more than "a day at the office" dirty. Then I wash it that night.

Would you live a hermetic existence if the opprotunity came your way?

[dalidaisy]

Certainly

You?

[loosefanbelt]

Not me. I like people.

ClydeB? :) I see you down there!~

[MacGuffin]

No, I like sex and the internet.

Would you rather have a lover that was a sensational kisser or excellent at oral sex? (with the corollary they are absolutely horrid at the other subject)

[llBradll]

Kisser. I could reject oral afterall.

same

[callmemigs]

kisser. if she's oral, it's a bonus for me.

same.

[Nikita]

kisser


How old were you when you lost your virginity, if you have? And do you regret it?

[llBradll]

17. Regret it? Not one bit.

same

[loosefanbelt]

Nikita cleared the room with that one! HA!

Okay - ha-hem... I'll be transparent. Age:22, with a guy that had proposed to me. We did not end up getting married because I felt the relationship was not right.

I would regret any lovemaking without love. I have had really very few partners sexually in comparison to most people my age because I am not interested in sex without love.

What are your beliefs and convictions regarding sexual expression?

[llBradll]

I think that as long as you're clear about the intentions then its alright. I would prefer to have sex with somebody I love, but at the same time its hard to find somebody to love, and I don't feel like somebody should be denied sex just because they haven't found love. While there can be a meaning behind it we also just have a physical urge for it which should be satisfied just like getting sleep and eating.

same

[loosefanbelt]

I don't feel like somebody should be denied sex just because they haven't found love. While there can be a meaning behind it we also just have a physical urge for it which should be satisfied just like getting sleep and eating.

llBradll, the tenor of your comment has the quality of a response to my comment (not merely the question I asked.) I just want to be clear that I was not judging others by what I determine to be right for myself. And since we are seeming to respond to each other, I would also comment that even though I have a pretty high libido for a woman that there are many ways to satisfy those needs beyond having sex with a partner. Just saying.

NEXT.

I wasn't responding in a way to your previous comment. While it may have affected my comment by being directly previous, I wasn't judging you or saying that you're judgemental (I think thats what you're asking) I also know that there are other ways to satisfy the needs, at the same time I think actual sex is a superior way. PM me if you were looking for a different answer.

Anyways back to the game.

What percentage of people would you guess that you could be a good friend with?

[loosefanbelt]

Friends = 75%
Good friends = 10%

You?

[searcher]

Not all that many. Definitely less than 10%.

Describe a normal breakfast for you.

[dalidaisy]

Vanilla almond granola, strawberries & vanilla soy yogurt, all mixed together, with a small glass of orange juice & a big glass of water (and some supplements on the side).

You?

[llBradll]

Coffee with oatmeal? / PB sandwich? / banana? / yogurt? / leftovers? thats the usuals.

same

[loosefanbelt]

Nothing is typical for me, but I do love granola.

Name a creature comfort that makes you feel spoiled.

[Nikita]

long, hot showers


What is your nightly bedtime routine?

[WyohKnott]

Shower, brush teeth, take out contact lenses, read for as long as I have time to, do some light stretches (to help relax), go to sleep.

How long does it usually take you to fall asleep?

[Nikita]

an hour or so, unfortunately


What song would you choose to be your theme song?

[loosefanbelt]

If I am tired like normal, 2 minutes.

Theme song? "Get the Funk Outa My Face"

Is there anything that you are finicky over or snobbish about?

[Nikita]

i don't like other people to touch my toothbrush, use my bath towel, or touch my pillows (even though I'll lounge with my feet on my pillows)


Now go back and answer my question ;D

[WyohKnott]

lol... not sure what to answer now. I'll just answer the last two:

I'm terribly finicky about spelling and grammar... other than that, I can't really think of anything.

Theme song: According to a couple people, it should be "Misery Business" (by Paramore) for reasons way too complicated to explain here, but that's not really my choice... a couple months ago, I favored "So What", by P!nk, but now I don't know.

I'll repeat the theme song question.

[Nikita]

cross between "Invincible" by Pat Benatar, "What it is to Burn" by Finch, and "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks


Same question.

[Wapiti]

Theme song: I Will Not Go Quietly. (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) :)


What was the best thing that happened to you this week?

[Jonathan Brewer]

I fully realized all of the lessons a dear friend of mine taught me.


What was the last thing you said in anger?

[loosefanbelt]

Um.... boy.... hmm..... must have been some comment about a driver at some time in the last weeks... people here drive crazy...

You?

[Harmony]

Nothing is ever good enough for you.

When was the last time you blushed?

[Wapiti]

Last week when I realized security could clearly see my screen at work which was pointed out to me by a co-worker who just happened to call me while observing my screen from behind the security desk and called me to say hey. Guess as to which website/forum I was on at the time?


You?

[loosefanbelt]

Yesterday I was at a professional conference and I mistakenly walked into the men's restroom. When I came back out, there was a man sitting on a couch looking at me with the most incredulous expression, and I felt my face go all hot and flushed.

Pass it along.

[Jonathan Brewer]

I haven't blushed in a long time. I'm just not very easily embarrassed I suppose.


If you could change one thing about the world forever, what would it be?

[Wapiti]

Just off the top of my head, it really pisses me off that people die of hunger and hunger related issues. There's no reason for that in this day and age. Whatever it takes to change that would be a worthwhile endeavor and it would be tough with all the governments and bureaucracies involved. It would be difficult at best but if it were in my power to change it, I would.

You?

[loosefanbelt]

Well, since I think fear is what causes all the problems, I think I would go for the jugular and get that eradicated. Seems like that would position us for better world all around.

What makes you the most satisfied: people, places, or things?

[aok]

Things.


If you could be anybody famous, who would you like to be?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Me... but if you mean someone already famous then... hmm... I guess either Larry Page or Sergey Brin, the founders of Google. Who wouldn't want to be young and exceedingly rich? ;D


If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? (details please)

[loosefanbelt]

I would let any unhappiness go, just let it go. Not hold it for a second. Takes away from blessing the good.

You?

[Jonathan Brewer]

I would let go of those things that are holding me back, and thus my family back. I wouldn't let trivial unimportant things stand in the way of what I truly want for myself and my family. I wouldn't let bitterness from the past or fear of the future hinder me anymore. I would surrender all doubt and place full trust in the God so many denounce. In other words, I would stop letting my "T" bind me and I would let my "F" go free. :)

What is the most beautiful sight you have ever seen?

[WyohKnott]

Funny you should ask... I was just thinking about this. I think the most beautiful sight I've ever seen is a mother holding her baby - both of them laughing, and making funny faces at each other...completely off in their own world, and entirely happy there. I'm not referring to any specific incident; I've noticed it a few times, and it always strikes me as the purest expression of love and joy I've ever seen.

You?

[searching]

a rainbow on a sunny day.

If you could save any monet in your life, what would it be?

[loosefanbelt]

Ah, that is hard to narrow down - I think Beach at Pourville is my favorite.

You?

[MacGuffin]

You?

Sex on the beach...

Not the drink!


Seeing how it's been two days since there was a reply in this thread, how do you think this thread will eventually die?

[searcher]

Overdose.

Where was the last place you went on holiday?

[Harmony]

Holiday = vacation right? The last place I went was St. Charles, MO, it's a great little spot to relax and shop in a very neat little town.

What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?

[callmemigs]

When I was reading an article on the 'net yesterday which is all about "101 Types of Annoying People."

What was the last thing that made you angry/frustrated/irritated/annoyed/remorseful?

[Nikita]

my grandmother


Describe your favorite vacation.

[loosefanbelt]

Aw.... snorkeling off the Kawaii coast, eating mango and papaya for breakfast, having a kona espresso, enjoying the ocean, dancing in an afternoon rain shower, hiking the mountains, listening to local musicians... and excursions on a katamaran. And I get to wear a lotus in my hair! ;)

You?

[Wapiti]

My favorite vacation thus far was in 1987 to visit my oldest sister who was living on Oahu at the time. She lived in a little out of the way place and we got to see a side of Hawaii I doubt many see, cock fights and all. We went snorkeling, played in the surf. My dad broke his arm in the surf, I nearly broke my back ([popped all the way up to my neck) - the waves were over 30 feet tall, surfing competition was canceled and yet we were playing in the surf! We visited much of the island, the USS Arizona, whatever the volcano was, we threw peas at each other while snorkeling and the fish would just attack (I don't think that's allowed anymore) - the memories I will never forget. :)


Is there anything about today that stands out to you more than anything else, if so, what?

[Nikita]

how much freaking money i spent on things i actually do need...but still, damn


What is your must-have for camping?

[Reganon]

Tent poles. You'd think they're a given, until you've been on a camping trip without them.

What electronic device do you use most often to listen to music?

[Nikita]

my computer


If you had a playlist that held only 10 songs, which songs would be on it?

[Reganon]

Right now I would choose my 10 favorite tracks from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Soundtrack.

What is the best movie you've seen this year?

[Nikita]

I haven't seen any new ones this year, lol.


You?

[Reganon]

Slumdog Millionaire, but Pan's Labyrinth was really good, too

How many meals do you cook each week?

[Nikita]

define "cook"...using any sort of heating implement...about 7, otherwise 0


What is your go-to meal?

[Reganon]

Mac and cheese

How many meals do you eat in a week?

[Nikita]

28-30, as an estimate


What color is your hair, naturally and currently?

[boo]

Dark brown and dark brown.

What colour are your eyes?

[loosefanbelt]

Dark brown.
What period of culture do you find most evocative and why?

[Jonathan Brewer]

World War II. I believe it was then that mankind came to realize the power we had uncovered.


You?

[loosefanbelt]

I am drawn to a lot of the thoughts of the 60s. I think that the pot made them too lazy to achieve the ideologies.

Dog or cat?

[Nikita]

dog!


You're plotting world domination with a total team of 5 people (this number includes yourself). What skillsets do each of the 5 possess?

[Reganon]

Hacker, military tactician, world language/culture expert, the inventor of all things mechanical (that's me), and the chef

You've just taken over the world. What is your first order of business?

[Nikita]

building an army of stupid people - the masses want to be led, I'll lead them...and they'll do as they're told for the change i bring ;D


What is your favorite kind of soup?

[Reganon]

french onion

You've just taken over the world: What sort of revenge will you exact?

[Nikita]

my dictatorship is one promoting harmony - the only ones in danger are the ones who seek to disrupt that through evil deeds...I will seek revenge upon them quietly and covertly


What religion(s) would exist in your dominated world?

[Reganon]

As much as I dislike organized religion, I would have personal problems prohibiting them, (so long as they were not harmful to others). I would have no problem creating my own "religion." There would be no gathering or worshiping- only a set of codes, values, and writings to guide people.

You have just conquered the world and all of its resources are at your disposal. What do you do for fun?

[Nikita]

traverse the Himalayas on foot


Upon conquering the world, for which crimes would you ascribe the death penalty?

[Reganon]

Torture, rape, and murder

You have just conquered the world: describe your average workday

[Nikita]

Torture, Murder, and torturing and murdering rapists. Half kidding...I'd start by attacking famine.


You?

[Reganon]

In the morning I'd have an ultra-secret video conference with my top advisers (chef included) and order the troops around to suppress any uprisings/manage the empire. In the afternoons I dress up as an ordinary citizen and explore the cities, interacting with people and using my infinite resources to change their lives. At night, I suit up and fight my evil empire: that is absolute power

You have just conquered the world: Who knows your identity?

[Nikita]

only me and my S.O.


Describe your superhero outfit & powers/abilities, and choose your superhero name.

[Reganon]

The suit is state of the art body armor with a jet pack. I wouldn't have any superpowers besides my typical ass kicking abilities, but the suit would have other technology to assist me. (just like batman) I don't know what I'd choose for a name: probably something nerdy like Reganon:p

You have just conquered the world: describe your home

[Nikita]

(hehe)

The World.


Describe yours.

[Reganon]

I would have several places of residence: one for each of my different identities. The only thing these places would have in common would be me. I am my sanctuary.

You have just conquered the world: What moral lesson/virtue would you like to teach your people?

[Nikita]

social awareness and conscience


Which subjects would be taught in your schools post domination?

[Reganon]

Same ones as now, but with an added etiquette class to teach kids the proper way to behave in the New World.

You have just conquered the world: who will rule after you?

[intellael]

Me... I found the fountain of youth

Will you establish a financial system?

[Nikita]

I would do away with money altogether :evil:


Name your new world.

[WyohKnott]

My children, obviously. Who else would be good enough? :p (More practical answer: I'd choose several people, and put them through rigorous tests to determine the best successor.)
I like these "conquering the world" questions...

EDIT: Oh... very late, sorry. Andalusia, perhaps? (kidding - I'm terrible at naming things; I'd appoint someone else to find a nice name, historically significant, but also catchy.)

You have just conquered the world: Who would be your second-in-command, and why?

[Reganon]

Chocolotania- something I thought up many years ago

My second in command would be whoever helped me take over the world in the first place.

You have just conquered the world: given the opportunity, would you destroy it?

[Nikita]

only if I deemed it necessary


Under what circumstances would you destroy your newly conquered world?

[Reganon]

If all the people reverted to cannibalism/any sort of zombie attack

You have just conquered the world: Someone in your quiet life as an ordinary citizen insults you. What do you do?

[Nikita]

keep an eye out for insurrectionist behavior, but otherwise ignore the sap


You have conquered the world, describe the holiday that would be celebrated annually in your honor.

[intellael]

None... Not trying replicate this system we have in place now.

How will you run your world differently to prevent it from becoming corrupt like the one we live in now?

[Polymath]

By directing all resources toward developing strong AI and letting it take over the planet.

You have just conquered the world: who are the first people you throw in the dungeon?

[Nikita]

dungeon? there is no imprisonment in my world - there is "reform school" at which you get one shot - if, after reintegration into society, you fail again, you die. the religious zealots will be going first, along with anyone connected to drug cartels, gangs, and other organized crime.


You have just conquered the world, describe your governmental structure.

[Hasway]

Dictatorship.(actually, most likely a people-run democracy, but dictatorship sounds better)
which color is better:black, blue, red, white, or orange?

[loosefanbelt]

I think, for a dictatorship that red is the bestest color!

What do you think of the Athenian democracy? Pro or con?

[Nikita]

It's interesting, but given the population explosion and the idiocracy, I'm not sure how well it would function in today's society.


What is your favorite cheesy movie?

[Reganon]

She's the Man

The world has just been conquered by an evil genius (who may or may not be me): Do you join their forces to get more freedom and power, or join the underground resistance, which gives you less freedom, but has a just cause?

[Nikita]

Neither. I'd go out on my own fighting for freedom. I recognize no authority.


You?

[Reganon]

I'd probably join the evil forces. Then I would be in a better position to rebel.

The world has just been conquered by an evil dictator: What is your preferred weapon and method of resisting their evil forces?

[Nikita]

perseverance...the details are not to be divulged


How often do you think about conquering the world?

[Harmony]

Not very often, too big of a job for me. I'm too scatter brain to follow through. ;D

You?

[Nikita]

other than these posts, I don't...I'm more of a free agent type


Same Q.

[Reganon]

I don't think so much about the actual conquering part, but quite frequently I wonder what things would be like if I were in charge.

Do you ever talk to yourself? (out loud)

[Harmony]

Not only have I caught myself talking to myself, I've answered myself. Sometimes it's easier for me to gather my thoughts if I say them out loud or write them down.

Same question.

[Nikita]

all the time...i even argue with myself


Do you blush if people catch you doing it?

[Reganon]

Yes

How do you react to being caught? sorry- I changed the question-

Do you try to explain yourself if you are caught?

[Nikita]

nope


Which color do you wear most often?

[Reganon]

Black, but then again, I wear blue jeans just about every single day

you?

[Nikita]

same...though I guess the black is about equal with gray


Which outdoor adventure equipment do you own, or would you like to own?

[Reganon]

I would like a snowboard and an archery set

You have five minutes before you have to leave your home for some appointment, and you're all ready to go. What do you do with those five extra minutes?

[Nikita]

I'd go ahead and leave to make sure I'm not late.


You?

[Reganon]

Play a song on the piano

Describe your hair: color, length, and style

[Nikita]

Color: Dark Chocolate Brown (verging on black, but not)
Length: A few inches below my shoulders. (only because I cut almost half a foot off)
Style: Long Layers, NO Bangs


Yours?

[Reganon]

Same color and length, no layers, and I usually wear it up in a ponytail where it tends to curl and stick out at odd angles.

If you were to yell at the top of your lungs right now, how many people would be able to hear you?

[Nikita]

3, but they're on the 2nd floor and I'm in the basement


What jewelry, if any, do you wear on a regular basis, and where?

[schwartzie]

none. you?

[Reganon]

none

Describe the socks you wear on a daily basis.

[Nikita]

i don't


Where do you go, on a typical day?
