Writer's Block: Significant Choices

  • Jun. 7th, 2009 at 10:41 PM

If you had to choose between your friends and your significant other, who would you choose?


View other answers

Well, since I don't have a "significant other" I guess that cuts this one off at the pass.

Although, just for the sake of bitching and moaning--it's what I do best!--what is with these ambiguous questions? Choose how? Is this Trolley-Problem choice or who gets my extra game ticket choice? If I pick friends, does that mean I would stand up my significant other to go to a movie with the girls, or if they were both about to be eaten by sharks I'd save my friends and leave the boyfriend with Jaws? Writer's block, oh writer's block...


Well, people who think the length of my shower is somehow their business, for one.

The whole cigarette out the window thing is obnoxious, though. Every year this place pretty much burns down, throwing anything remotely likely to start a fire anywhere except the proper receptacle really is an act of utmost assholery.

ALSO, please stop watering your cement patch (I'm looking at you, Rock Bottom Brewery!).

Writer's Block: Grab and Go

Scenario: For exactly 1 minute, you get access to all the databases of all the intelligence agencies in the world (CIA, FBI, KGB, MI-5, etc). What do you want to find out before time is up and you're caught and jailed forever?

If I was going to be caught and jailed forever I'd at least want ten minutes. Sheesh.

Writer's Block: Taking It Personally

  • Feb. 26th, 2009 at 9:47 PM

Have you ever taken a personality test like the Myers-Briggs or Enneagram? If so, did you agree with the results? And what was your type?


View other answers

I've done Meyers-Briggs what seems like fifty thousand times by now...it's a favorite of high schools and college career counseling centers, apparently. I've never turned out as anything but an INTP. To be honest,  I never really got the point of personality tests. I mean, since when do you have to fill out a little form to get to know yourself? I've lived with me all my life, I would think I'd know me pretty well by now. I don't need a printout from a computer somewhere to tell me I'm shy...the whole hiding in the bathroom thing in junior high kind of clued everyone in about that years ago.

Writer's Block: Full Moon Fever

  • Dec. 12th, 2008 at 9:19 AM

It's the full moon today. Almost every culture has its share of lunar lore, from werewolves to lunacy to true love. Do you believe that the full moon affects our behavior or do you think it's a myth?


View other answers

Well, it's pretty obvious that astrology is bunk but I do enjoy a good werewolf story from time to time. I like the moon, though...I wish I could go there. If I ever run into a zillion dollars I am totally up for this space tourism thing.

Writer's Block: Forbidden Reading

  • Oct. 19th, 2008 at 7:56 PM

From Judy Blume to V.C. Andrews, there's always a book circulating among teens that their parents don't want them to read. What favorite book did you have to hide from your parents?


View other answers

In high school I used to slyly shove all the YA books I checked out from the library under my bed...I'd been getting most of my recreational reading from the adult fiction section since I was around ten, but every once in awhile I just wanted to curl up with something that had "RECOMMENDED FOR GRADES 7 TO 9" stamped on it. In fact, after seeing the trailers for City of Ember I really want to read that series, too. Now all I have to do is go find somewhere to buy them "for my little sister's birthday"...ahem.

Writer's Block: Where the Cheese Goes

  • Jun. 7th, 2008 at 7:20 PM

What should cheese go on, and what should cheese NOT go on?


View other answers

 I read this as "what cheese should go on, and what cheese should NOT go on?" I was all prepared to make an argument about why the colby jack should persist while society at large abandons the manufacturing of gorgonzola, but now I won't because apparently I just can't read.

Oh, and to address the question at hand: 

Cheese, albeit only the proper types of cheese--nothing too smelly-- should go on EVERYTHING.

Writer's Block: A Last Day Well Spent

  • Jun. 6th, 2008 at 6:58 PM

If you knew it was your last day on earth, how would you spend the time?


View other answers

 
This question always comes up in these types of things, and my answer will never vary: freak out. Seriously, all these people who say "Well, if I was going to die tomorrow I'd go skydiving and swim with dolphins!!111" are just full of it. The knowledge of impending death and good times just don't mesh. Unless I guess you were religious to the point you were POSITIVE there was a (good) life afterward, and I really don't think there are a lot of those people out there...

School is stressing me out. My papers are done; but now I have exams. Cogs101C tomorrow, then the rest on Tuesday. This quarter needs to be over.

Writer's Block: Whose part would you play?

  • May. 22nd, 2008 at 6:27 PM

If you could be cast on any TV show, from any time, who would you play?


View other answers

This is easy. I'd be on the new series of Doctor Who, and I'm not picky at all about characters. It just seems as if the actors all just have so much fun on set.

Writer's Block: Anthropomorphic buddies

  • May. 18th, 2008 at 3:48 PM

Have you ever named or befriended an inanimate object? What did you call it?


View other answers

 Haha of course. I had a cotton ball that was smaller than the others that came in the bag, and I named it Baby Fluff and took it with me everywhere. Believe it or not I still have the thing, its in a box of old stuff that I dug up out of the garage last year. It's in remarkably good shape considering it was manufactured sometime in the late eighties, lol. Yeah...I used to bring that thing with me to preschool all the time. I had pet rocks too, I'd paint faces on them and put them in a shoebox under my bed. This isn't even including the numerous dolls and stuffed animals. Oh I also think I had a pet pinecone...and several Kooshes with names...what can I say, I was an only child. My three year old self had to be creative with the procurement of playmates.

Writer's Block: Friends and acquaintences

  • May. 17th, 2008 at 5:47 PM

What differentiates a friend from an acquaintance? When does one become the other?


View other answers

 
If I tell someone something weird about myself, and they counter with something even stranger, then I might go ahead and consider them a friend. If all I get is strange looks, the relationship is destined to go no further.

Writer's Block: Reacting to my bad mood

When you're having a bad day, how do you react?

Unfortunately for the people on my friends' list, usually by logging on to LJ and bitching about it.

I am flying home tomorrow, I don't know if I am going to be posting much. 

Will be back on the 30th!

How do  you get the MSN news bar thing and the Inside Livejournal thing OFF of your homepage??

Hm. I'm kind of worried that my other class will be a lot of work. The one I had today requires an 8-10 pg paper, which actually probably won't be that bad. The professor is really nice, but a lot of people I've met here are really snippy! So I'm afraid what my next professor is going to be like. Cambridge is gorgeous but it strikes me as really formal. They are very particular about their lawns. Yet there are no garbage cans ANYWHERE. I seriously have to carry my trash around in my pocket until I get back to my room.

So I was with some people just wandering around the city and this woman in a ridiculous outfit that looked like a pirate costume comes out to meet these two black limos...everyone was supposed to stay back, and everyone was clapping and taking pictures as these really formally dressed old guys came out and went into this building with her...still trying to figure out what was up with that.

I just finished a box of the most delicious raspberries. Definately back to Sainsbury's tomorrow for a refill.
