All you have to do is answer the question and then ask one yourself and then somebody answers your question and asks one of theirs and then somebody else answers that and askes a question that somebody else answers and then asks a question which somebody else answers and then asks a question..

It's nearly Christmas so,
have you been naughty or nice this year?

Nowaysis · 29-11-06 21:58:09

I would say I've been surly.

Does that make me a dwarf?

blissed · 29-11-06 22:08:50

No, if you've been surly you'll probly get some presents but just really boring stuff you don't want. Serves you right.

Whats the last furry thing you touched?

My chin.

What is the worst injury you have ever had.

polarchill · 30-11-06 00:31:23

I had to think about that one. It gets complicated, but hang on . . .

Is anyone familiar with the method of green bean gardening in which the vines are grown so they wrap around and grow up wooden poles which have been stuck into the ground? Okay . . . so, my parents had gone into town for groceries, and two of my older brothers were on one side of the house being all "manly", trying to show who could throw a bean pole over the roof of the house, javelin style. I, seven years old, and unbeknownst to them, had wandered outside on the opposite side of the house.

To cut to the chase, not only did the bean pole crack the top of my skull, but there was a nail protruding slightly from the end of it which "scratched" my brain (apparently the surgeon's words).

Of course, I only have the fuzziest memories of the moments just before, and after I awakened in the hospital. Just about my first memories, actually, since I was so young. I'm told that my father took old-style Midwestern parenting discipline to my brothers, which probably caused them more pain (that they actually could remember) than I felt. The main downside for me was that, just before that point, I had shown signs of possibly having a photographic memory. I could read back half a page of what I had just read, would sing to my mother entire songs I had heard on the radio, etc. After the injury, nothing like that, preventing me from almost guaranteed seven-figure incomes later in life.

On the other hand, I should feel lucky. I was at a good healing age, and the skull closed up nicely. You can only see the tiniest scar when my head is shaved (that and the 666). The doctors said a brain injury like that could have caused severe epilepsy later in life. No signs of that, although I have sometimes wondered if the whole bipolar thing was set in motion because of it.

Remind me someday to tell you guys what my sister did to my right ankle.

Who's the first fictional character (on TV, in a movie, in a book, comic book, even in a song or poem) who turned you on?

I've been racking my brain (ouch) and it seems that Charlie's Angels keeps running across the TV screen in my head. I don't know that I was turned on by them but very much intrigued and curious mixed with some sexual energy.

What is the most interesting city or country that you've ever visited and why?

Arielle · 30-11-06 06:20:56

What is the most interesting city or country that you've ever visited and why?

Hermosillo, Sonora in Mexico. It was the first real Mexican town I stumbled upon after an 18 hour bus ride to get the hell away from Tijuana. Its not outstanding in terms of architecture or history, but (to me) there was something special about it. Old guys sit around the zocalo all day having their massive snake skin cowboy boots polished, the markets are always busy and it was my first introduction to Mexican cooking.

The young people there were pretty amazed that someone would travel to Hermosillo from as far away as Australia and pretty soon had invited me to a massive party. I went on a quest to buy beer, and wound up in a Chinese restaurant asking some poor guy in a mixture of Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish and vigorous hand gestures where I might buy a sixer of Noche Buena. There is a large heavy metal scene there too and it was cool checking out local bands plus the Mexican version of goths (these kids live in the desert, its hot and they're pretty tanned) and punks, who seem way more hardcore there.

And best of all, the whole town seemed to be really into the movie the Nightmare before Christmas and there were Jack Skellingtons everywhere. My idea of heaven.

My question is:
If you had to relive a section of your life again, which would it be?

The 8 1/2 years between finishing junior high (aka middle school) and starting graduate school... but only if I could know what I know now!

My question is...

What sound or noise do you love?

(bonus points if you know who I stole that from...)

msnevil · 01-12-06 09:03:25

The Female orgasm, Duh.

(bonus points if you know who I stole that from...)

The sonic erotica site? I really don't know, but could't resist being a smarta$$ on the first question.

What is your deepest, darkest secret?

blissed · 01-12-06 21:48:48

I just told everyone that in the person below thread.

Strawberry icecream or Strawberries?

.

aven frey · 02-12-06 01:16:15

Strawberries

If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

blissed · 03-12-06 02:41:34

My socks, I've had them on for 3 days and I can't seem to find another clean pair. I'm gonna have to buy a pack of new ones on the way home from work.

Ever made a snow woman?

No, and thanks to global warming, I'm not sure I'll ever get the chance

I've just learned that the "bad cold" I have is really whooping cough! I didn't know it even still existed. Soooo...

What's the wierdest/most surprising illness you've ever had?

Siobhan · 03-12-06 04:19:35

myalgic encephalomyelitis.

Party trick eh?

I've worked in some pretty crazy places (strip clubs, iron foundry, 5 star hotels, and tattoo shops) before landing here, and have been to some insane parties. One of the worst party tricks we ever did was to have a shot of Tequila in the eye. Yep, In The Eye. Don't try it at home, don't try it ever, unless of course you are completely mental.

I've settled down a lot now, and these days I'll settle for dip and crackers and the odd bit of lawn bowls.

The next question is on a related topic:
If you were to throw the greatest party of all time, what would it be like?

jwhite · 04-12-06 05:08:39

Bacchanalia, of course. Food, music, sex, death.... That would about cover it. Everyone invited- being torn apart optional.

What are you the sorriest for in your life, and how would the apology go?

(yes, I know that's two questions. Answer one or both)

Siobhan · 04-12-06 06:12:23

Oh, so enticing. I hear the mellifluous tones of my childhood priest: Let us now, with chastened and penitent heart, confess our failings to Godde and to one another. . . .

It is a difficulty that the questions I most want to answer are asked when I am only doing a drive-by and can't respond.

Surely, this means I am making up for having talked too much on these boards. Exquisite question, though, jwhite, just as all your posts are exquisite {{{{jwhite}}}}

I'd also like to say, re: arielle's great question, that the name of the love who shares my bed (one of the loves who shares my bed, at any rate) is a nod to one of the greatest parties, not of all time, but surely of the US/20th century.

Her name is Audrey. Can anyone name the party?

Well, there is the famous party scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's, which starred Audrey Hepburn.

Siobhan · 04-12-06 17:53:30

I had a chance to buy an old barn for the agricultural price. I even agreed a price with the farmer but backed out as I thought it was too risky. It was later bought by someone else who gained planning permission to turn it into a house and made loads and loads and loads of money. So I think I'll apologise now.

I'm sorry Jake for not buying the barn and I know how much it would have meant to you to be reasonably wealthy, but it didn't happen and for that I am forever eternally regretful and very very sorry

Whats the best thing thats ever happened to you?

Truman Capote's Black and White Ball. Silly me.

And to think that my cat is named _____, just because that was the name the previous owner gave him. I feel so middle class.

Whoa, Nelly, YESSS, Polarchill.
Truman Capote's Black and White Ball. He took gossip, effeteness, and narrative non-fiction to such new levels that one could almost say he invented each of them, but he also managed to pull off one of the greatest bashes ever. Let's give this man absolution!

Man, the videos are really brilliant here, and everyone involved with them, especially Meistress Max, is such a magical artist in the true sense of both.

But what realllly turns me on about IFM, what is really intoxicating, is all the nerdy brainpower that congregates in this forum. It is SMOKIN' HOT!!!!!!!!!!

Swamps.

When have you felt the most happiest in you life?

Nowaysis · 05-12-06 09:40:01

November 22nd, 2005 was a high point of sorts, but I wouldn't really describe it as happiness, more a naive sort of bliss.

Whatäs the most expensive piece of luxury you've ever bought, not counting houses and cars and such (unless you splurged on an extra car just for the hell of owning it)?
