Off.

What is your favorite word?

[Rho1334]

No...my favorite word is no

What is you least favorite word?

C*nt. I get after people who use that word. And I swear like a pirate myself.

You?

[gestalt]

Potentate. You?

[Rho1334]

Maybe...i dont like indifference.

most challenging thing you have done today?

[gestalt]

Socialized all day long (including posting embarassing pics here). You?

make a banana cream pie

Horror movie or action movie?

[Seriously]

Action. I don't like scary.





Lost or Heros?

[Rudy]

Action. I don't like action that much, but I really don't like horror.

Heroes, I guess, though I don't care for either.

What are you best at teaching?

[Seriously]

I don't have much patience for teaching. Life lessons by experience I guess.






How old were you when you left home?

[rahdam]

Chemistry, Physics, AP Chemistry, Common Sense, Appropriate contextual behavior, etc.
Showing them that you can be bright without sacrificing your...sex appeal, for lack of a better phrase.

You?

[Rho1334]

I don't have much patience for teaching. Life lessons by experience I guess.






How old were you when you left home?

18


Chemistry, Physics, AP Chemistry, Common Sense, Appropriate contextual behavior, etc.
Showing them that you can be bright without sacrificing your...sex appeal, for lack of a better phrase.

You?

Don't have the patience to teach but if I did teach, computers and tactical decision making.


Favorite hobby?

[rahdam]

BJJ.

Do you believe in the concept of soulmate? And, if so, do you think you will find him/her?

[Seriously]

No.




Do you remember life before cellphones?

[Rudy]

Soulmate, no. I think there are multiple people one could have a truly great love with.

Cellphones, sort of. I'm 25, so in my childhood they were very rare.

What are you best at learning?

[Seriously]

Anything I put my mind to.



What was your favorite subject in High School?

[Rho1334]

history

favorite teacher?

[rahdam]

Never really had one.

You?

[Rudy]

Myself. I don't mean this obnoxiously, but rather that I learn best by reading textbooks, and whatnot.

What are you best at nurturing?

[rahdam]

Kids, Teenagers. I try my best to set a positive counter-example to the world in which they live. By the response I get, I'm doing pretty well. It's a great source of satisfaction.

You?

[Rho1334]

animals...

are you a cat or a dog person?

[rahdam]

Dogs

You?

[Rho1334]

Cats...

weirdest thing you ahve eaten?

[rahdam]

If I ate it, I probably did not find it weird.

How was your last/current relationship?

[Rudy]

Nascent but hopeful, lacking certainty but promising.

Yours?

[rahdam]

You have the advantage of knowing who I am talking about.
I will only say this: It's a marathon, not a sprint, right now. But the splits are getting faster and faster as we go.

You do know who I'm talking about, right? (You needn't provide the name)

[Rudy]

Yes, yes I do.

In what area do you show the most focus?

[rahdam]

I'm focused on my relationships.

You?

[Rudy]

Probably argument/debate is where I'm the most focused.

What aspect of your life do you have the most difficulty with?

[rahdam]

There are some decisions that I need to make very soon that will impact my life for 12 years, potentially more, in very significant ways. These are good decisions to have to make on one hand, but on the other hand I am deathly afraid that I will grow old and frail and be unable to do some of the things I want to do with my life.

You?

[Rudy]

Heh. Dating and romance is always where I've had the most difficulty. :)

What is the most likely reason you would be anxious/on edge?

[Nemesis]

Waiting for final grades to be returned. You know how it is.

What is the thing in life you cherish the most?

[NoStoneUnturned]

Dopamine.

What do you dress up as on halloween?

[Synchronicity]

Hugh Hefner.

You?

[NoStoneUnturned]

Myself with a cape and a mustache.

you?

[Seriously]

Bellydancer. I have the costumes already and I'm cheap.




Are you green?

[Harmony]

No, I'm white. Haha! Mostly green for me. Got me a compact car, carpool most of the time, recycle, reuse paper as much as possible. :)

You ?

[Seriously]

I'm trying to do better. I use my bags at the grocery store. Baby steps.




Is your hair color natural?

[Harmony]

Nope, close to it though, but I don't know that I'll ever be able to get back to natural!

Do you have to wear glasses or contacts?

[Seriously]

Hey yea it's been so long since I've seen my natural color I'm not sure what it is anymore ;-)

I wear contacts. And glasses when the contacts are out. I'm blind as a bat.



What does your user name mean and why did you pick it?

[Harmony]

It's my name spelled all funky... I picked it because I'm too lazy to come up with anything else... Should have gone with my gaming name... :(

When was the last time you had your hair cut?

[Seriously]

About 6 weeks ago. I'm going Friday for cut and color.



What are your thoughts on Plastic Surgery?

[NoStoneUnturned]

2 days ago! I didn't go to my usual hair-person and she did a really bad job. For example, she messed up the back and my sideburns weren't even. My intuitions told me not to let her touch my head; I should have listened to them.... siiigh, i've learned to search for only ENFJ hair people, they are the best from what I can tell...

Only if it's for a car crash or something like that. Otherwise you should accept who you are. I have acne scars I wish I didn't have and a messed up nose from karate as a kid, however, I don’t find it THAT hard to get women. If I did, I might think about it. However, women usually like me for other reasons (because they think I’m smerts or something). Sooooo, I would say one should find a strength and just go with that; using HARDWORK. Plus, mind is better then the body; it's a waste of money.

what is your fav song?

[Rho1334]

Changes often...right now Energize Me- After Forever

Ever shave yourself bald?

[Seriously]

eeerrr uummmm my head? no




Have you ever considered suicide?

[Rho1334]

Yes, not recently but yes...

Last time you were in a hospital and why?

[NoStoneUnturned]

older sister had a baby 2 months ago

[Rho1334]

no question so ill go...

Farthest you have ever ran in the rain?

[gestalt]

Heh. Fought with my brother New Years and I had to take him to the hospital.

Have you ever overdosed on a drug?

[Seriously]

I'm not a runner at the best of times. To bouncy. But I do enjoy a walk in the rain...I walked a long way down a beach in Scotland once in the rain...ah the memories...


Most romantic moment?

[Rho1334]

most romantic moment was walking with my now exwife in the middle of a snow storm...the day i proposed.

worst meal you have ever eaten?

[gestalt]

Electrically charged gazing into eachothers eyes as we breathed eachothers sweet breath.
(We did this on our own but I've since discovered this is known as soul-mating/binding)

Meal: Country Kitchen spaghetti meal in 1995.

Same romantic-moment question.

[NoStoneUnturned]

once i played monopoly with a girl.............................

what kind of cell phone do you have?

[Nemesis]

A girl took me up to this hill that overlooks the Calgary skyline during a dry lightning storm and told me she was in love with me. I had to move away two days later. Amazing night.

To keep with the sappy stuff... What movie is able to move you to tears?

[Rho1334]

Braveheart...thats the only movie I can think of I have ever cried.

I'll keep with the sappy too...

Favorite romantic movie...

[gestalt]

I'd have to say Kiss of the Spider Woman (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.).

Same question.

[Nemesis]

Wings of desire.... German movie... dear lord that's a fine movie.

Strangest person you have even known?

[gestalt]

Several career criminals.

Have you ever overdosed on an illicit drug?

[Nemesis]

Close.. did E when I was younger... INTJ and E are a very odd combo.

you?

[Seriously]

Nope I stick to weed. OD on that and you just giggle and overeat.




When did you find out you were an INTJ?

[Nemesis]

We were going through personality assessment tools in one of my psych classes and I popped out INTJ. The prof called me "a rare robotic specimen".

You?

[Seriously]

I was feeling quizzy the other day and a friend sent me a link to the test. I took it and here I am. hehe rare robotic specimen, I like it.



Are you a morning person?

[gestalt]

Yeah so long as I don't eat trail mix too late the night before.

What's your sock brand?

[Synchronicity]

Champion! For the man whose feet are worthy of the ancient gladiators.

What's the last thing you do before you sleep?

[gestalt]

Kick my feet a lot.

You?

[loosefanbelt]

Pray to dream of gestalt...

Anyone else?

[gestalt]

Nope.

You?

[Nemesis]

.......maybe

When you DO dream of Gestalt, what is happening in the dream?

[loosefanbelt]

I dream... well... it goes something like this:

[Rho1334]

corniest dream you have ever had?

[rahdam]

I don't have any conscious knowledge of my dreams.

Do you? How often do you remember dreams?

[Rudy]

Same as you; don't remember them at all.

What would you most like to remember?

[rahdam]

I forget. :wideeyed:

you?

[gestalt]

How I got the right answers to a CCIE worksheet a few months ago doing all the binary subnetting in my head. It's like a sieve I tell you...

What's the worst thing/idea/judgment you've been wrong about?

[Rudy]

What's the worst thing/idea/judgment you've been wrong about?

Thinking that homosexuality was wicked, back when I was a believer, probably.

You?

[Nemesis]

I've never been right about a single thing in my life.


I like this question. Same question to you.

[runoverazebra]

I thought I was in love once, and it led me to make all kinds of truly horrible decisions.

What do you like least about your life?

[Rho1334]

Not alot I like about my life at the moment..

You?

[runoverazebra]

I dislike the absence of everything that I had to give up to get to this point in my life.

Do you have any pets?

[Rho1334]

no..not at this time.

Do you ever wish things were different?

[runoverazebra]

All the time.

You?

[rahdam]

I'm pretty happy with the way things are, to be honest.

What do you wish you could change?

[Rudy]

Human nature.

What do you wish would never change?

[rahdam]

I never ever want to grow old. I hate the thought of it, to be honest with you.
(Btw, very S right now, don't expect any creative, N-type answers)

You?

[Rudy]

That's a good one; I'll take it! *starts singing Forever Young*

Whose death has hurt you the most?

[rahdam]

A friend on the high school cross country team died of leukemia toward the end of our senior year. Even then, I remained relatively unaffected. I'm very clinical in my reaction to death; Not cold, but not emotional. Dignified and professional, perhaps.

I'd ask you the same, but I already know the answer. With that said, describe your relationship with that individual before he passed?

[Rudy]

I'd ask you the same, but I already know the answer. With that said, describe your relationship with that individual before he passed?

Hmm... It was good, very good. My parents were divorced, so I didn't see my father very often, but still every other weekend, and some holidays. It's much easier to see his faults in retrospect, but at the time I thought him without them. We bonded over nerdy things like building computer systems and Buffy: the Vampire Slayer. Maybe I'll expand in my blog thread sometime.

Have you ever wished someone dead and really, truly meant it; that is, not just in the heat of the moment?

[rahdam]

When I read about rapists and murders, I do wish they would drop dead.
As I do not associate with these people, I haev never directly wished someone I knew dead.

You?

[Rudy]

Likewise. That is, no one I know personally, but there are such people that I know of.

Assuming you daydream at all, what is it most often about?

[rahdam]

Sex with a certain individual is a pretty popular daydream.
As is my future military career, and the various things I will get to do (:shhh:)

You?

[Rudy]

Romance and sex (often in combination,) is number one for me.

Do you drink? If so, how much/often?

[rahdam]

Never. Not that I haven't before, but it has been...nearly 5 years. I won't drink again. No taste for it.

You?

[Rudy]

I've barely had any for the last several years, mainly because it tastes nasty. I'm recently trying to acquire a taste for red wine, for the health benefits. We'll see how it goes.

What's the biggest risk you've taken?

[rahdam]

Teach for America was a pretty big risk, but it paid off handsomely.
Going the military route is a big risk, but I feel very good about it.

To give you something more visceral:
Breaking up fights is always a risk, but the alternative is unconscionable, to me.
I've watched other ADULTS stand there and watch. I teach high school, and some of the kids are big, but damn. Standing there, watching? Fuck off.
There was a gun in my classroom several months ago.

You?

[Rudy]

I'm afraid all of my answers are lame in comparison. =/

The most physically risky thing I've done is go swimming in a thunderstorm. That was just stupid, though, since there was nothing to be gained by it.

The bigger risk, for me, is putting myself on the line emotionally. Several times the risk hasn't worked out, but more recently it has.

The certain individual you mentioned earlier? Describe with one word your favorite, or one of your favorite, things about her. Or him, as the case may be.

[rahdam]

(I'm sure gains to your cardiovascular health occured)
"Connection". Of course, "strong" and "loyal" rank highly. And many more.

What is your workout regimen?

[Rudy]

Well, it used to be just 30 minutes of DDR per day, but now, under the banner of the Rudy Improvement Project, it's 1 hr. DDR every day. Situps (started with 30 a week ago, have been adding 2 a day, up to 46... we'll see how long I can keep up the increase,) pushups (started with a pathetic 5, been adding one per day in the same manner.) Also, curls.

My legs are already very strong from DDR, but I need to work on my upper body strength a lot.

Yours?

[rahdam]

One of the following every day:
1.5 hours Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (grappling is insanely difficult)
1.5 hour "real gym" routine (lots and lots here, emphasis on pullups)
4 mile run around the lake
1 hour "home gym" routine (pushups, situps, planks, jumping rope, standing squats, stretch)

Listed in descending order of preference. "Home gym" is a stopgap if I don't have time to go out and do the others.

To be perfectly honest, I work out for both the health benefits and increased sex appeal (I can be a bit of a narcissist).

On that note, WHY do you work out?

[Rudy]

It was previously almost entirely for the health benefits, which is why it was limited to cardiovascular (DDR.)

Only very recently have I become actively concerned with sex appeal. :cool:

I also want to develop some greater amount of upper body muscle for practical reasons; strength comes in useful in many ways.



Why the military route?

[azelismia]

I don't have a military Route

this girl that you want to look good for, how did you meet her?

[rahdam]

Strength is definitely useful. Functional strength.

It's an excellent way to pay for medical school, it allows me to see the world and serve my country, and it provides other avenues of training (flight school, firearms instruction, etc.) that are not available in civilian medicine. It gives me the best of both worlds.

Do you think I will read about you next to the likes of Stiglitz and others in the future?
(Aside, I know Stiglitz's daugther, not well mind you. She works for my current organization.)

[Rudy]

azelismia: It was, in fact, this site. I don't think I give away anything by saying that, as everyone knows I have no life outside of the forum. :laugh:

Rahdam: I certainly hope so. I'm confident enough to consider it a possibility, but I'm not arrogant enough to consider it a certainty.

azelismia: How did you meet your hubby? OR, to rahdam: Do you want kids someday?

[azelismia]

We met on the Yahoo.com Dating site.

Have you met this girl in person yet? or rahdam, what's your favorite breakfast cereal.

[rahdam]

I certainly don't plan for kids, to put it one way.

Piggy-backing on your other question.
Azelismia is married? I know her first husband was a sociopath, but I thought she was presently single.
Or did she go through with her second marriage for the financial benefits (there was a thread about this earlier...) <NEEDS GOSSIP>:wideeyed:

[Rudy]

I have not met this girl in person, no.

Azzy got married about a month ago now, I think.

Here's the limerick I wrote for her:

Azelismia just got married,
For health benefits she was harried.
Still, the match seems to be,
One that will oversee,
A life that is pleasant and varied.

Rahdam, have you ever tried online dating sites?

Azzy, how badly do you want a six-toed cat?

[azelismia]

I certainly don't plan for kids, to put it one way.

yes, I am married. we got married on Feb 16th. not just for health benefits that was just the instigator.


Rudy: how far away does she live from you?

Rahdam: do you have a girl you're not planning kids with yet?





azelismia added to this post, 1 minutes and 50 seconds later...

I have not met this girl in person, no.



Rahdam, have you ever tried online dating sites?

Azzy, how badly do you want a six-toed cat?


lol this is getting confuzzled. It would be awesomeness to have a sixtoed cat. I haven't been getting very far on the "let's bring a kitten into the house talks though"

[Rudy]

Many hundreds of miles, I'm afraid :( Still, there are airplanes, and the future is fluid.

Azzy: Favorite video game.

Rahdam: Favorite martial art.

[azelismia]

Many hundreds of miles, I'm afraid :( Still, there are airplanes, and the future is fluid.

Azzy: Favorite video game.

Rahdam: Favorite martial art.


The hookups here are never ending :) I hope it all works out great for you, glad you're finding some happiness!

Favorite Video game is Ratchet and clank although addicted to pixel junk eden

Rudy is she an intj?

Rahdam, do you have a girlfriend/spouse type unit?

[Rudy]

Next month, possibly. If not, then June. It depends on some things for both of us that will be determined in the next few days.

Azzy, name one way in which your cat is superior to your husband.

Rahdam, same as before: favorite martial art.

[rahdam]

Rahdam: do you have a girl you're not planning kids with yet?





Rahdam: Favorite martial art.

Azelismia, congratulations! Your hubby is a lucky guy, and it sounds like things are working out well. You deserve after all I read about your first husband.

I do have someone, and both of us are not planning for kids, presently.
My favorite martial art is definitely Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but I do want to pick up muay thai soon.

Would you (either of you) ever consider meeting other people form the forum in real life (Rudy, excepting a certain someone)?





rahdam added to this post, 1 minutes and 8 seconds later...

Oh, another for Rudy: Have you swapped pics or called on the phone yet?

I've been to online meet up's in the past for the intp forum. not sure it's something I am into just now though.

cats are better because they purr and have fuzzy belly's.

Rahdam, how long have you been with your girl, are you going to get married?

Rudy, is she an intj?

[Rudy]

I would, and have, meet other people from the forum. I've having lunch with Lycurgus tomorrow, actually, to discuss firearms. I'll be applying for a concealed carry when I get to Philly, and want his advice on some things.

We have both exchanged many pics, and talked over the phone, yes.

Is she INTJ? Seems likely, I mean, given the spread on here. :devilish:

rahdam: Same question (about meeting other forum members.)

for Azzy: Name one way in which your husband is superior to your cat.

[rahdam]

I wouldn't be opposed, but I might find it a bit contrived.
More than a few months, less than a year, likely not.

Why are you all up so let. I'm peacin' it.

[Rudy]

I wouldn't be opposed, but I might find it a bit contrived.

An excellent question. I must to bed as well!

I leave the forum with this question: What Is Love? (Baby Don't Hurt Me)

[Seriously]

Love is pain




Why do we bother?

[Rho1334]

Becuase we don't know any better and the loneliness would drive us crazy.

why do we act like idiots around someone we love?

[Seriously]

Because love makes no sense. Without sense there is no reason. Without reason we don't know how to act and therefore act like an idiot.




Best kiss ever?

[Lineplunger]

Haven't had it yet, haven't kissed seriously yet

[Rho1334]

standing in the rain with the women before my ex...it was full of heat and passion. Love and sincerity.

Best romanctic reltionship you have ever had?

[ptrout]

One that never worked out, never even had a chance, but challenge made me kinder and more sincere than I have been before.

Do you prefer relationships that are perfect and easy, or ones that are difficult, challenging and requires constant effort ?

[Night Runner]

Neither.

If you had a one-way time travel ticket, which time period (past or future) would you choose to spend the rest of your life in, and why?

[Synchronicity]

Couldn't rightly say without knowing what the future holds. I like this time period just fine, but if I had to choose, I would probably go back a few decades to the early 20th century. It was a time of great discovery in the fields of science, and my engineering knowledge would make me useful. I could perhaps meet Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Bertrand Russell, and other great minds, earn glory on the battlefield during WW2 (along with dysentery and post traumatic stress disorder), and watch the whole world tremble as 50 years of nuclear paranoia begin.

Mostly, I just want to fly a spitfire. *Makes machine gun noises with his lips*

I liked that question. Let's do it again.

[NoStoneUnturned]

shakespeare time.... so long as i can bring meds for diseases. You can get away with anything then. Oh, or maybe roman times? their sex parties were ridiculous....

Do you think you replace sex with fantasy ideas like time travel?

[Seriously]

No. Why would I do that?





Do you?

[Rho1334]

No...

how do you feel about sex?

[Synchronicity]

It's nice.

Do you curse a lot?

[Rho1334]

Like a sailor...

Have you studied any major orm inor religions, if so why?

[Seriously]

Depends on the time, place and my mood.




What is your favorite curse word?

[NoStoneUnturned]

I dont curse so i'm answering the sex question.

In the words of George Michael:

"Sex is natural - sex is good
Not everybody does it
But everybody should
Sex is natural - sex is fun
Sex is best when it's... One on one
One on one"


When/why do you curse?

[Rho1334]

i curse for any number of reasons...mostly out of anger...my favorite curse ford is fuck.

Opinion on relationships?

[Seriously]

They are interesting.





Yours?

[NoStoneUnturned]

great if they are with the right person.

same

[ptrout]

Fun during the chase ? goes either way after.

Are relationships necessary ? Given this is the INTJf

[Rho1334]

To me they are...

Pina colada or apple martini?

[Synchronicity]

What is this, the "would you rather" thread? I'll take a scotch, neat.

How do you handle interpersonal conflicts?

[ptrout]

Give people ample opportunity to correct it on their own, then blow up in their face with anger and righteous fury when they fail.

you ?

[Seriously]

Ignore it if I can. Make a joke out of it. Address it directly.




Do you sometimes ignore calls just because you can't be bothered?

[Rho1334]

All the time...I hate the phone, its evil kidding

Do you ever feel like throwing the phone out the window.

[Seriously]

No. It's not cost effective to do that.



Do you believe in an afterlife?

[zief]

No, but i wish reincarnation was real.

whats the longest you've ever talked on the phone? (without taking a break)

[aok]

9 hours.


What's the longest period of time you've stayed in your house?

[ClydeB]

Id say about 6 days. Sick and on vacation. One big suckfest.

Whats the longest you have gone without getting on this forum? (Since you started)

[Seriously]

I just started but probably the 6 to 7 hours I sleep. I'm an addict.



Who were you closest to in your family?

[Synchronicity]

My sister, and we still are.

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

[Rho1334]

30 mins flat.

you?

[Rudy]

10 minutes, since I generally shower in the evening.

Name a flaw that you recognize in yourself.

[runoverazebra]

I'm extraordinarily impatient with people who don't catch onto things as quickly as I do, often to the point that it really hurts their feelings.

You?

[Nemesis]

I'm sorry... I didn't understand the question. But seriously, I tend to expect results immediately and become very demanding of people around me.



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

[runoverazebra]

I would make people more open minded.

How was your day?

[Nemesis]

Long but good!

Yours?

[runoverazebra]

It was very productive.

What's your strangest habit?

[Nemesis]

I get nervous over really stupid things. For example, up to and during an exam I'll be cool as a cucumber... then I'll freak out about the mark until I see it even though there's nothing I could do about it at that point.


What's the most awkward moment you've had recently?

[runoverazebra]

One of my male friends asked me to have dinner with him, and I though that we were just going as friends. He thought it was a date. At the end of the night he tried to kiss me, but I offered a handshake instead.

Same question.

[Nemesis]

hahahahaha nearly identical situation. However, I offered more than a handshake.


When was the last time you laughed yourself to tears?

[runoverazebra]

Last Saturday when I was drinking with one of my roommates. We were coming up with a joke list of house rules. One of them was 'If you can load the dishwasher while drunk, you are not drunk enough. If you can blow the dishwasher, you are clearly drunk enough." We made this rule while I was on shot number 15, so it was extra funny, although I don't remember the circumstances when we made this rule.

What do you consider to be your greatest success?

[Nemesis]

Those are yet to come.

What is your hidden passion?

[runoverazebra]

I suppose I have a hidden passion for organic chemistry, which I mask with feigned contempt for the subject. There many things I'm passionate about that I consider of significance, but they are not in any way hidden passions.

Same question.

[Nemesis]

Cooking. Probably not so hidden for those who I have lived with. Not nearly as weird as Organic Chem... but probably reducible to it.

If you had the option to go anywhere right now with unlimited funds, where would you go?

[runoverazebra]

If I had unlimited funds I would go on a several years long trip around the world. I took a 3 month trip and made 1 circumnavigation, but it was neither long enough nor did I visit as many places as I wanted. Traveling is one of my not so secret passions, and I'm not sure I could narrow down just one place I wanted to go. I can say that I would start in South America though, as I have never been there.

What is the coolest thing you've ever done?

[Latro]

To bed, assuming I could magically wake up at the same exact time, fully rested, and then get back to work immediately.

If you could experience and thoroughly comprehend death but then emerge as an infant with all of your current memories somewhere deep in your subconscious (and, as an infant, understand the nature of death and the afterlife) would you do it?

Edit: bah...I haven't done a lot of really interesting things. I guess one of my fondest memories is finishing Legend of Mana in the span of a single evening. THAT was fun.

[runoverazebra]

No.

Are you satisfied with what you currently have in life?

[Synchronicity]

Very nearly. Only one thing is missing.

What's your preferred method of handling stress?

[runoverazebra]

I bake cookies. It's an odd way of dealing with it, but I've found it to be very effective for me. I do end up with more cookies than I could imagine eating in a lifetime, but that's what roommates (and roommates' boyfriends) are for.

How did you get the worst scar that you have?

[Nemesis]

I was a goth teen back in the day and I got into an argument about pain tolerance with this girl and offered her the opportunity to give me a good one. She held a ring over a lighter for a while and let one side of it get good and hot... then she pressed it into my arm. I now have a large rectangular scar on my arm to remind me how stupid I was when I was a teenager. I'm sure the scar will help me be less of a hypocrite when I finally have moronic teenagers of my own.

What is the most vengeful act you have done? What did the target do to deserve your wrath?

[ntwady]

I have never been much for overt, obvious vengeful attacks, but in my younger years I was known to be very passive aggressive. These days I have a pretty good handle on my anger response, but if that emotion becomes too intense, I retreat. I need time to introspect on those occasions; if I blow my top, I certainly lose.

I realize I didn't answer the question, but I am not a remarkably vengeful person. There is nothing worth noting from my history that is particularly over-the-top or out of the ordinary.

What is your current self-improvement project, and how is it going?

[Seriously]

I'm trying to get back into shape. Started boot camp training and it's going well.




What do you like about yourself?

[Rho1334]

I like te way I can do just about anything if I put my mind to it.

you?

[Harmony]

My shining friendly personality. ;D

What is one word you would use to describe yourself?

[Seriously]

Interesting




You?

[Rho1334]

Evil

One word you would use to describe the world

[Seriously]

Sad



You?

[ntwady]

Incredulous.

You?

[altoid]

Myopic

Given the option to volunteer to help colonize the moon/some other planet, would you go?

[Seriously]

YES! How cool would that be?



Would you rather be able to fly like a bird or swim underwater like a fish?

[altoid]

Ooh, fly!

You?

[Seriously]

I always fancied being a mermaid so swim.





Do you prefer to drive or be driven?

[Harmony]

Drive... I hate being driven.

Do you wear a watch?

[Rho1334]

no, hate them

you?

[Seriously]

No. I wear very little jewelry. Usually just a thumb ring.



Favorite precious or semi-precious stone?

[Harmony]

My favorite are pearls... Don't know that it fits your definition, I'm not a jewelry person. ;)

you ?

[Rho1334]

Diamonds...i'm simple

favorite precious metal?

[Harmony]

Silver :)

What are your favorite potato chips?

[NoStoneUnturned]

sour cream n onion

fav super power?

[Rudy]

Immortality.

How much do you compare yourself with others?

[NoStoneUnturned]

All the time... I try to find differences and then the causes of the differences. I see it as the "I am defective" part of an INXJ. Though I don't get emotional about it.

Same question.

[ntwady]

Rarely. I realize I have plenty of flaws, but I never wish to be any different than the way I am. If I want to change, I do it; I don't sit and think about it.

You?

[Rudy]

Rarely as well, I more compare myself to lofty standards I have set, rather than to other people.

Would you be able to kill someone in self-defense?

[Maayan]

Would you be able to kill someone in self-defense?

Theoretically, yes. I imagine it would go something like this:

"Then I suddenly noticed a Jordanian soldier from behind me. He looked into my eyes and was about to shoot me. It was an amazing moment: we were staring at each other for what seemed an eternity. I saw my whole life, a film version, flash through my mind. Then suddenly I snapped out of this trance - it must have been a millisecond - and I realised that whoever pulled the trigger first was going to survive. I guess I was faster. I shot him." -- Uri Geller's personal recollections from the Six Day War.

Yourself?

[NoStoneUnturned]

Yes, I can. I hate evil people.


Do you consider yourself evil?

[Rudy]

Do you consider yourself evil?

No, I consider myself a good person overall, though it's a struggle sometimes. =/

Yourself?

[loosefanbelt]

Not evil. Just flawed.

Do you find the INTJf helping you to hone any skills, and if so, what are they?

[ptrout]

Just this....talking/posting with other people, without fear of too much reprisal or consequences.

Has knowing you are an INTJ changed your life at all. ?

[NoStoneUnturned]

The psychology of Carl Jung itself has changed my life.

If you had 1 million dollars what would you do?

[ptrout]

Make very insignificant difference in a million lives.

Do you think u have the means to earn a million dollar in 2 years. (by any legal means)

[Jonathan Brewer]

Definitely, it's just a matter at what it costs.


Do you think you have the means to truly change the world for the better?

[Rho1334]

Sure...I think I do but would anyone get behind me to do it? Probably not.

Why do you wish to change the world?

[dalidaisy]

So it will be a better place to live.

When was the last time you climbed a tree?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Sure...I think I do but would anyone get behind me to do it? Probably not.

Being able to inspire others is part of equation. If you can't get people behind you then you won't change anything.

Why do you wish to change the world?
So it will be a better place to live.

This, but more specifically: In order to move mankind one step closer to the attainment of full truth. Even though, the ultimate goal is impossible, the closer we get the better off we will be as a whole.

When was the last time you climbed a tree?

About two weeks ago. :)


Have you ever written anybody off? I mean, have you ever finally just gave up on trying with somebody? It can be a friend, relative, student, etc. Explain.

[dalidaisy]

Yes, I finally wrote off my husband, after (too many) years of trying to fix the problems that I finally realized are unfixable. If it wasn't for our kids, I wouldn't want to know him anymore...

You?

[Jonathan Brewer]

Yes, I've done it more than once, but the first time I was in my teens. I knew a woman who no matter what I accomplished or how I behaved, she treated me like white trash. I attributed it to her often accurate view of my parents. However, one has a right to be viewed based on their own actions and not to be relegated to a shadow of their predecessors. I once told her that I would give her until I was eighteen to form an opinion of me based solely on my behavior. If she failed in that regard, then I would ignore her existence from that day forward. That was when I was fourteen. Needless to say, she was rather shocked when I turned eighteen and did exactly as I said I would. :blank: (Boy, that was long.)


What is the most inspiring thing anyone has ever told you?

[gestalt]

"You can be or do anything you want."

You?

[Nemesis]

"You can't do it"

You?

[rahdam]

I am my own mother fuckin' inspiration.

anyone else?

[Jonathan Brewer]

I'm a mix between Nemesis and rahdam. For the most part, I've always managed to inspire myself, to be my own motivation. Though, on occasion, someone's pronouncing my "inability" was enough to make me prove them wrong. In the case of the latter, it is very rare. I usually could care less what people think of me.


What was the hardest thing for you to give up in life?

[ptrout]

ownership and rights to my intellectual property.

You?

[Rho1334]

Everything, got a divorce and lost it all...

Person you hate most in the world?

[Harmony]

The one and only person I can say I hate, that psycho Danielle. She stabbed me in the back. It's all right, she turned a bunch of acquaintances against me, I took her best friend. :)

You?

[loosefanbelt]

Wow. Hmmm.... I can't say hate - disrespect may be a better term. Maybe all of the people who think they deserve a bail-out when they have been so greedy.

Anyone else?

[Rho1334]

I got a list but I'll name the top two...my ex-wife and my father

Person you love most in the world?

[Quite8the8bell]

My father

What's the most physically painful thing you have done to someone else...or yourself?

[Rho1334]

I tried to commit suicide at the age of 16...i slit my wrists(yes i did it the right way...was hospitlized before I completely bled out)

you?

[rahdam]

I broke a finger when i was young. That hurt a bit until the orthopedic surgeon snapped it back into place (it was horribly dislocated).
I've had several grown, 220+ men scream when I crank an armbar tighter if they continue to resist. No clean breaks, but more than a few hyperextensions.

What's the nicest thing someone has said about you?

[Rho1334]

That I was the best guy ever(dont remember why but i get this alot)

Ever play bacchi?

[rahdam]

No, on the grounds that I do not even know WHAT that is.

Could you be described as moody (denotatively, not connotatively)

[Rho1334]

Some would say that yes, i am a very pasionate person when i do decide to show emotion. bTW Bacchi is an italian ball game...

Would most people consider you warm or cold?

[Kele-De]

OK. I see how this works now...
I must be warm. I work with special needs kids.

Do you support the death penalty?

[Rho1334]

I do...i beleive some crime should require death...more than we have now. Jail cost would definately go down.

Do you support life long imprisonment for sex offenders?

[Kele-De]

I support life in prison over death in prison.

Have you ever been arrested?

[Rho1334]

No, never been caught! kidding

Do you suppose the us war on terror?

[Kele-De]

Support the war on terror? Yes
With global support and spcecial ops units with Army Navy and Marines in Afganistan and Iraq. Send the majority of our soldiers home let the Air and Coast Guard patrol the borders here and increase the merchant marine corp to patrol the ports and recruit those canuks up nort eh to soak up some sun along the southern border.

[Rho1334]

no question ok...ill ask again then

do you think we are only fueling the flame with the us war on terror?

[Nemesis]

Yup. It's a stupid idea. Do people really think that one day all the bad guys will be dead and the world will love the U.S?! That's a really childish and simplistic view on things.

If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

[Beulah]

Trifle for the many contents

If you had to adopt a past child star in their day who would it be

[Rudy]

If you had to adopt a past child star in their day who would it be

No idea, really; I'm pretty ignorant of "child stars". Maybe I could teach Michael Jackson to not be a freakshow pedophile?

If you could strike one law from the books where you live (national law, local law, whatever,) what would it be?

[mar412]

I would eliminate the law against skipping in Evanston, IL. Apparently, that is a sign of lewd and drunken behavior. The law is a relic from the prohibition era. I went to school in Evanston, and I always was bothered by it. I know it's trivial, but it's what I would choose nonetheless.

If you could change one thing about your partner, what would it be?

[loosefanbelt]

He's dead, so I would resurrect him (sorry, but you asked).

If you could be born in any era of history OR are willing to gamble on the future, what other time period would you enjoy being born into.

[Jonathan Brewer]

I've let go of any desire to live in another time or place. I've come to the conclusion that this is my time and this is my place. I wouldn't have it any other way. Just the same, if I had to choose, I'd go with the seventeenth century, preferably in France. :)


If there was one day you could relive, which day would it be?

[runoverazebra]

I would like to relive the first day that I was in Japan.

You?

[Charly]

The day when it started snowing when I was living in Germany.

When was the time you felt the most overwhelmed in your life?

[Rudy]

My father's death.

Yourself?

[Sequoia]

The death of two dear friends within 6 weeks.

What was your most wondrous moment?

[PHS Philip]

Finding someone who really, really got it.

You?

[Sequoia]

Discovering who I really was and that I was not alone.

you?

[NoStoneUnturned]

Indecent exposure.

Do you have HBO?

[Seriously]

No.



Should I get HBO?

[Rho1334]

no, its a waste of money...

long you have gone without television?

[rahdam]

2 years and counting at my current residence.

You?

[Jonathan Brewer]

I have never personally owned a television, and I haven't lived in a house with a TV in over fourteen years. I hate television.


What is the longest you've gone without speaking a word?

[Seriously]

What is the longest you've gone without speaking a word?

Can't be very long. I tend to sing and talk out loud even when alone.



What are your thoughts on South Park?

[Latro]

A good show but it doesn't look at legitimate topics enough lately.

If you could magically get past the stuff you don't want to have to deal with or don't think is worth your time, what career would you want to pursue?

[Rho1334]

Ruler of the cosmos...and no i am not kidding

you?

[Charly]

I would pursue a career in Medicine.

What is your most detested piece of technology that you use on a regular basis?

[Rho1334]

truthfully its my mixer...seriously i hate to some but a certin someone like french toast so boo they are there....

most fucked up thing you have done recently?

[Latro]

I guess procrastinating this damn project for 2 weeks and then delivering a very poor presentation on it...and STILL procrastinating the final revision of it pretty much right now...

Considering that this is a bit of a letdown answer: same question.

[Charly]

Was talking to one of my friends about eunuchs. Such a wrong conversation.

What's living on top of your fridge?

[Rho1334]

cereal boxes

you?

[Charly]

It's a bit of a junk shrine at the moment. Coins, an old glass ashtray, swiss army knife, three maglites, a jade rabbit luck charm, vouchers, a stack of photos, keys to my letterbox, a stack of man reminders (read yellow post it notes) a fistful's worth of stolen ikea pencils.....

What makes your brain melt / overload? (apart from the obvious things)

[dalidaisy]

Dealing with crying children.

How many lamps do you own?

[Rho1334]

i think around ten, yet i dont ever use them...hmm interesting..

most useless thing in your house?
