Another Question Game

[Haids1987]

Off tangent: Hailey, is your email the same? I miss exchanging messages with you!

Just saw this--yes Kristen, it sure is!

Question: What would your perfect day be like?

A warm, sunshiney day of 80 degrees or more, hanging out with my family and best friends, snuggling my godson, and swimming.

How many syllables is your coffee order?

[tessspoon]

None, don't drink coffee. Wish I could, but I don't like the taste.

What's one food you can't stand?

[Deloria]

I really don't like the salty taste or texture of caviar, but I'm trying to get over that because I like the idea of eating it.

Why is it that all people know about Lolita is that it's apparently about child abuse?

[darthkiwi]

Because nobody reads serious books any more? Okay, maybe a little harsh. But hearing "This is a book about child abuse!" will make most people remember the book as a child-abuse book, and will probably make them not read it. And if you had to summarise Lolita in as few words as possible, "child abuse" is easier than "a book about yearning for something intangible and transient which is doomed to disappear but which is the only thing which brings one joy, which is also morally questionable in most people's eyes, makes one question why one is doing any of this, causes deep trauma and hurt on both sides and leaves one dissociated and fragmented, questioning what the purpose of life was in the first place - plus all those issues of exploitation, Old Europe vs. New America, pop culture and monetary transactions, and let's not even get into that whole 'metaphors are stale and don't work in real life' thing, or the amazing literary game of cat and mouse he plays with the antagonist where there are so many intellectual clues and references it makes the Waste Land look old hat".

Do you know who Ralph Waldo Emerson was? I'm curious. I didn't until I was introduced to him by my degree.

[Haids1987]

Yes.

Who's your favorite person that you know?

[Deloria]

Darthkiwi and Delling are my two very favourite people. Who I prefer at the moment depends on whether Delling says I look Southern or not.

What's the last thing you cuddled?

[GrahamRocks!]

My doggie! 

[Deloria]

The way this forum game works is that you post a response and then ask a question of your own.

[Delling]

Darthkiwi and Delling are my two very favourite people. Who I prefer at the moment depends on whether Delling says I look Southern or not.

That one time that you dressed Southern and that I failed to mask my reaction and you wouldn't let it go until I told you what I had thought... and I stupidly told you the truth that your outfit looked Southern rather than making something up... yeah... I'm never living that down... I would expect darthkiwi edges me out most of the time anyway.

[Haids1987]

Darthkiwi and Delling are my two very favourite people.

Awwwww! That's sweet! I'm actually beaming as I type this!

[darthkiwi]

 

And, Delling... yes, sadly you will never live that down. But this is the way of the High Court of Deloria. She can hold you accountable for as long as she wishes because she is an Empress.

Judging by her praise of you, though, I wouldn't say you're edged out.

[Delling]

Maybe... anyway...


Uhm... does anyone have a question for this thread? (See what I did there?)

[snabbott]

(Hey! That was two questions! )
Yes and yes.

Why am I on the forum instead of getting ready for work?

[Haids1987]

Beacuse the forum is more interesting than showering or brushing one's hair and teeth!

How long is your normal shower, anyway?

[Delling]

5-15minutes depending on if I'm washing my hair or not and whether my hair is getting "the full treatment" or not... I have long hair these days...

Anyone know a place in the Galway area that supports a hair donation charity??

[Deloria]

You can't be a misanthrope with me anymore if you start donating hair!

JAMIE! *GLOMPS* YOU WILL BE MY MISANTHROPE FOREVER!

Why does no one see the beauty in misanthropy anymore?

[DawsonJ]

Misanthropy... my dear friend, my only friend.  I see it as a wonderful thing.  I have fewer friends than anyone I know, even though people tend to like me IRL. "Acquaintance or Friend?" is a constant question in my life.

Is anybody else glad that Toegoff finished his LP of Paper Mario? (He hated that game.)

[GrahamRocks!]

*hasn't watched it yet, seeing as she's not fond of "blind" Lets Plays, especially if they're games she's actually played*

He did? Awww... but that was the game that got me into one of my favorite Lets Players- Chuggaaconroy. How come he didn't like it?

[Haids1987]

Dunno, I have not yet watched it either.

Which song on iTunes has the most plays for you?

[writerlove]

Someone Worth Dying For by Mikeschair. If you like Christian music, you should check out this song. It's amazing. I've listened to it a lot this past month because I needed to hear the message.

What song did you last buy from iTunes?
