yeah, so in addition to asking the questions, the member should also pm the person they're asking just so that the thread doesn't go stale and disappear.

Maybe the person asking the questions could tap on the window of the one they are asking the questions of, and if they don't answer then smash through it drag them out by the hair and put their neck on a chopping block. :eek:

1. How was your childhood?

2. Where do you see yourself at 40?

3.Who do you look up to?

4. Whats your favorite "junk" food?

5.You are stranded on an island....you find a bottle...you rub it...poof....what are your 3 wishes?

6.Your on the same island, [ whats with you and these islands? ] your gonna be here for 1 year..you can take
1 book
1 DVD
1 CD
What are they

I like that I'm both "new" AND "exciting"... I'm sure that the latter compliment will most likely be removed once going through this long, draw-out answer (give a girl a soapbox........)



1. Wow. And that was supposed to be "nothing heavy"?! My childhood... My dad read me the poems and short stories of Edgar Allan Poe as bedtime stories... I remember that in third grade I had memorized "The Raven" in its entirety but my third grade teacher wouldn't let me recite it to the class because it was "too mature."

Even though I'm a GIRL I always identified with boy characters in movies, books, television, etc. because they were so much better written and believable as interesting and strong characters. I personally idolized Robin Hood (the cartoon FOX, mind you, from the Disney channel), so whenever I played make-believe, I was HIM, bowing to the girls in my kindergarden class and saying, "Milady."

This gender confusion would manifest in my writings and especially later on in college.

I loved the movie "Little Shop of Horrors" and would sing the Dentist song while waiting for the bus or my parents to pick me up.

I'm an only child, so I was always independent. While the girls played House on the playground, I wrestled with the boys and got in trouble and had to STAND AGAINST THE WALL (horrible horrible punishment).

I was a goody-goody with good grades, lots of friends, but ultimately felt as though I was on the outside looking in.

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were---I have not seen
As others saw---I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
- Poe, "Alone"

My best friends were the spawn of my parent's best friends... But they lived in upstate NY and I lived outside of Boston, so I only saw them a few times a year... But we had a GREAT time when we did... From building fairy/elf houses to forts in their backyard to building sheet forts in their bedroom (sheet forts are the BEST btw). We would camp outside and my dad would read us "The Black Cat."

I was fascinated by the dead animals that my cat would leave on the doorstep, and saddened when I once caught a salamander and it died that afternoon. Salamanders were tragically fragile creatures.

I had lots of friends, but I would blow them off... I liked running around my backyard, lying on the grass, and maybe reading or just fantasizing about being a little hero, like Robin Hood.





2. Dead.

...

Ok. Maybe not.

For the longest time I was honestly convinced that life will be over at 30, but now that I'm nearing 26 I realize that I can actually CREATE my life instead of just fearing getting old (I know that sounds cheesy, but it was actually a relatively NEW realization).

OR another reverie I had of my future self was to be a single mom. Seriously. I generally DESPISE people (ok, that's an overstatement), but I really liked the idea of taking everything I had and just... creating and growing another human being (someone that I would naturally birth and perhaps someone I would adopt). I couldn't imagine myself actually finding someone I would LOVE long-term (because I just don't like people), but I knew that I could LOVE a child.

WOW, Chrono is getting personal...

But this is an interesting question... Where I'd LIKE to see myself at 40... Incredibly well off and developed into my career. Maybe married (because I am absolutely CRAZY about the guy that I'm dating - weird thing, that... I never thought that I'd find someone who would actually interest me for more than a couple of months)... Maybe with SPAWN... I don't know. I honestly need to start writing because I honestly do believe that I could be a writer if I got my act together... It's just that... Life gets in the way sometimes (ANOTHER cliche - oh boy).

Edit: If I wind up with my current boyfriend, I'd like a house and a Pug. Little tan puggy with a black face.

If I do NOT wind up with my current boyfriend, then I will have a KITTY (he is deathly allergic to cats, so we can't get one). Then maybe I'll turn into a crazy cat lady. That would RULE.




3. I look up to my Dad. Hands down. He was the kindest, most genuine person that I know... He passed away in 2002 when I was 20, which was absolutely heartbroken... And now, as I grow up I really wish that he could see all that I have accomplished.

Favorite anecdote about my dad (which shows how amazing he was): When he was out of college and working as a Social Worker. One of his clients was so poor that they couldn't afford a bed; I guess they were sleeping on the floor. So my dad called his parents and asked if he could give his old bed to his client.

When I heard this story, I teared up. I know it's cliche to say that you look up to your parents, but he was a genuine caring and interesting person. He introduced me to sci-fi when I was younger and encouraged me to read and write. He called me "Buddy," and my favorite compliment from him: "You're neat, kid."




4. Nachos. Nachos and beer. Hands down. Grate the monterary jack cheese, throw it on the Tostidos, and pop in the microwave. If you have jalopenos, chili, meat, etc., throw them on there too. Combine salsa, sour cream, and tabasco sauce as your dip and you have a combination made in heaven. The beer is usually Sam Adams, or if I feel like splurging, Berkshire Brewing Company. Mmmmmmmm... That's the good stuff.




5. As long as these "wishes" do not have any sort of dire consequences (BOY do I fear the Monkey's Paw), they will most likely be as follows (though subject to change I'm sure depending mood, time, etc:

1. For my mom to be rich and happy. She's currently job-searching and has a lot of expensive tastes. I'd get her a condo in Boston with enough money to go out and experience plays and delicious food. Oh, and to travel the world. After my dad's death she just hasn't... been ok... And there's only so much I can do for her (she has REJECTED my offer to pay for a Match.com or eHarmony account, so I've decided to spill $700 on a pure breed Maine Coon. Who said that money can't buy you companionship?!).
2. Ditto #1 for my boyfriend's family. They've had a rough life and, well, I AM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT IT - GET OVER YOURSELVES. Maybe a spot of $$$ and happiness would shut them up... WOW I am a good person.
3. As for me - I think that I would wish to be a powerful and influencial person in Hollywood. That would make me rich AND give me a say as to what movies get released. I've always wanted to open a Script Consulting Company, you know, so that I could say, "YOU WANT DO DO WHAT? That's a RETARDED idea." It's all for the greater good, you know. Encourage intellectualism and the whatnot. (then again, I was once asked if I had the option to be rich and famous OR be able to kill 1 person without any sort of consequence, I picked the latter, so this last wish might change depending on whether or not I've had my morning cup of coffee).

...

Would I have to wish to get OFF the island? SEE?! THERE'S THE MONKEY'S PAW!




6. Dude - SIX QUESTIONS?! Ok. It's been a while since I have revisited this hypothetical, so let's see...

Book - Physician’s Desk Reference… hollowed out. Inside: Waterproof matches, iodine tables, beet seeds, protein bars, NASA blanket and, in case I get bored, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. No – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Question: did my shoes come off in the plane crash?

...

Ok, that was an Office reference for those of you who don't the American version.

DVD - Something to watch over and over again while stranded on an ISLAND: Well, I think that LOST would really be the best choice here. Kate would keep me company. And, hey, SURVIVAL SKILLS... riiiiiiiiiight

CD - All I would need is ONE song: "We gotta get out of this Place" by the Animals. Yeah. That's right.

.............

OMG. As much as I simply ADORE the sound of my own fingers clicking on the keyboard, I feel as though this entry has been very LONG and SOMBER. I apologize for the dip in mood (and will happily hand out handguns for anyone who wants to shoot themselves).




NEXT UP: (I am going to throw my dear Psycom5k a pity bone... EVEN THOUGH HE ACTED OUT OF TURN - BAD Psycom!). Here are his questions for Posh.

Posher:

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

2: A: Whats your job?
B: Whats your IDEAL job?

Hey now, the guy who made the thread told me I could go ahead and take the questions for myself, so don't blame me just because I take the chances given to me.
