"Well, it's not so much that I'd like to be shorter...I've just always been a little self-conscious about how tall I am. Maybe just a few inches?" ~Karenna
"Mortality. Seriously, can we get rid of that?" ~Tannar
"Being able to see would definitely be an improvement." ~Avarn
"Notta thing." ~Ridnan
"A back not covered in scars would be an improvement." ~Danteel
what one event would bring the world as you know it to a crashing halt? (the death of a loved one, sudden bankruptcy, ect.)
"In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function...We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." ~C.S. Lewis
"If someone came up to me and said, 'Which episode of House is your favourite?'" ~the Raven
"If Elizabeth or one of the children died." ~Micklewhite
"If I lost my money, I suppose. More so if people's behaviour changed." ~Forrest
"Heck, it's already happened." ~Clover
"I have to echo Clover." ~Fal.
"The day I died might have a similar effect." ~Rohsair
"If I found out that - well, I don't know really. Maybe if I found out that wasn't almost royal? Then I'd have to be poor. That would be simply awful." ~Alarise
"If it turned out that the Sersurans weren't actually as friendly as they seem. And then it wouldn't be such a big surprise." ~Romil
"If the money was lost, or there was a revolution, something like that." ~Jera
Do you read books or magazines on the toilet?
"TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules, and likeable leading men. In life, we have this. We have you." -Abed Nadir
Tori: Oh, yeah. The summer before my freshman year in high school I toured with a teen theater group all summer putting on the musical Fame. I didn't get to see my friends all summer and they are my entire universe so it was really, really hard at first but I made new friends in the cast so it wasn't as bad. But I still missed them sooooo much. The same thing happened the next summer when I went to San Diego for the summer to be Maria in West Side Story and it wasn't as bad because I had done it the previous summer and I wasn't as far away. Also, when my boyfriend Shawn moved back to San Diego, I missed him a ton cause he had leukemia and I wanted to be able to be there for him but I couldn't be.
Amy: Wow, way to tell your life story. Um, I've missed people quite a bit before but never to the point where I felt like I was dying. *thoughtful* I'm pretty optimistic so when I really miss someone I just think of something good about it and it makes me feel better.
Madison: Well, my boyfriend Alekzander goes to college in New York and since I live in Long Beach the long distance thing is really tough sometimes. The time difference makes it hard to talk to him and letters and emails can only do so much. I spent pretty much every minute of the summer with him so when he had to go back to school it was like he took a piece of myself with him. I miss him so much it does feel like I'm dying sometimes.
Emilee: I agree with Amy. I'll miss people but I don't think I've ever felt like I was dying inside. It's hard for a while when my friends first go away but after a while it gets easier.
If you suddenly found out you were moving across the country (whatever country that may be), what would you do? How would you react? Who would you tell first? (I know that's more than one question but they go together to answer it...you don't have to answer all of it if you don't want to.)
*shrug* "I don't think I'd care much. It's who I'm with that matters, much more than where I am." ~Tannar
"I live on a Realm Cruiser. That's a kind of starship for those of you who are so ill-informed to have not read my story. We're always 'moving.'" ~Danteel
"I seriously doubt that would ever happen. If it did...I can't imagine living anywhere but Seattle." ~Adam Everard
what is one place you never want to visit?
"In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function...We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." ~C.S. Lewis
"The healer-slash-mad scientist's room. The man's insane, see?" ~the Raven
"Burchard Castle." ~Fal.
"We had to go through this really horrible part of Selseaton, and it was simply disgusting. All dirt and beggars." ~Alarise
"Carathara." ~Romil
"I don't really like going into Mother's old room. It reminds me too much of her, and it... it smells too clean. Like it's covering something else up." ~Jera
"Oh, there was a dreadful part of London that I stumbled into. Lights and shouting and beer and not another elf in sight." ~Iseabail
"The rubbish heap outside the battle camp. And Luboš." ~Dai
"A small cave in Carraig Eana." ~Lorlan
How much do you like sandwiches?
"TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules, and likeable leading men. In life, we have this. We have you." -Abed Nadir
Tori: Oh, my gosh, chocolate! Chocolate or ice cream. The other day I saw this amazingly awesome looking new ice cream, I think it was called triple chocolate chunk brownie explosion. Does that sound good, or does that good? I bought it and I can't wait to try it.
Amy: *shaking her head and smiling* You're weird Tori. Curly fries for me, or really anything deep fat fried.
Madison: Ice cream. That chocolate stuff sound amazing, Tori.
Tori: See Amy, Mads thinks it sounds awesome too!
Emilee: Yeah, I'm gonna agree with that chocolate ice cream.
Tori: Whoot! Ice cream party at my house. Amy you're not invited! *grin*
Who is your best friend? How long have you been friends? What do you like to do together?
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
"I don't see him now, but there was an Sikh at the theatre that I was quite friendly with. Da and he had acted together for years, and he helped me with my somersaults." ~the Raven
"Dai. We've been friends for years, since I was three and he was two. We do things like swimming, training, hunting, riding." ~Fal.
"Forrest. We've been friends for a few years. It's rather difficult to say what we do, really." ~Micklewhite
"It's either running away from madmen with unchristian designs, or going to concerts and having to endure Micklewhite snoring through Beethoven's symphonies. Which happens to be rather trying." ~Forrest
"Jera. She's been my sister for eighteen years, and we like doing all sorts of things together. I like staying indoors and sewing and playing the harpsichord, but she likes riding and hawking better." ~Alarise
"We try and compromise." ~Jera
Who do you admire?
"TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules, and likeable leading men. In life, we have this. We have you." -Abed Nadir
Even though he died a long time ago, I've always seen my father as my hero. Everything I've been told makes me look up to him. ~ Seth
Erm....ahhhh....uhhhh. Miss Petra was always nice to me... ~ Acelyn.
People are different so I admire many people for different reasons. For instance I admire Strawberry (Acelyn) because she keeps going, even if she wants to give up. ~ Cecil
The Zenith Cycle characters, since I seem to have taken that up as my epic project again...*sigh*
"I wish for my Master to be my Master again....not the person he is now, who doesn't care about me or any of his friends." ~Zenith
"Not much that I already don't have. Maybe the end of the New World Order, but that's a bit optimistic, isn't it? Anyway, they do respect me, and for the most part leave me alone, so I'm not that keen on seeing them go. Maybe...well, if I could have one wish, maybe it would be...I'd like to know my mentor's name. That's all." ~Louis
I wish that Louis would be safe. That's the only thing that I truly want--Louis's safety. He--he says these things--and sometimes I'm just so worried for him. If I could guarantee his safety, I'd be able to sleep much better at night." ~Peter
"I wish I could be a better programmer. I mean, I guess I'm fine as I am, but really...I want to be better. I don't have any delusions of being as great as the First or Second Geniuses--of course not!--but all the same, that's what I'd wish for." ~Gina
"The happiness of all those around me, Gina especially. I don't want anything more because I'm already blessed with a great life." ~Daniel
"To be a great and successful singer...and to make sure the people I love are safe. Wait, that's two wishes, but what the hell. I don't give a damn! No one's gonna tell ME what to do!" ~Alexander
"My one wish is that I had a wish. In that respect, I'm going to admit...I admire Alexander much better than me." ~Byron
"I wish Alexander would focus a bit more on his studies, to be perfectly honest. Actually--if he's okay, that's fine. I don't really want to admit it, but....he's basically like a surrogate son to me, especially after his parents died. And what parents want is the safety of their children. Yeah...I don't really know what I'm saying anymore." ~Sampson
"Nothing. I'm content as I am." ~Lorenzo
"I wish I could be normal! Is that too much to ask? I'm sick and tired of everyone treating me like I'm so special--or worse, like I'm a genius--just because my mom's the freaking Third Genius! It doesn't work that way, okay, genius ISN'T genetical or whatever. I just wish I could hang out with my friends and be...me. Not a clone of my mom." ~Sandra
"I wish that everyone in the world could have a safe place to call home, a loving family, and hope in their lives. More than just wish, though--I'm going to work to achieve it. You can't just wish for the world to be a better place--you have to MAKE it a better place." ~Sofia
"Wishes are for people who can't do anything to change their situations. Since I have power, I don't need to wish for anything." ~Nadir
"I wish for the end of the New World Order, more than anything in the whole damn universe. If I could wish for the impossible, I'd wish for my dad to be alive again...but I know THAT isn't gonna happen, so I'll settle for the next best thing--the end of the ones who killed him." ~Jim
Wow...that was...a LOT. O_o Anyway~!
Is it better to turn to the past, look to the future, or live in the present?
Ah, it is an empty movement. That is an empty movement. It is.
"Live in the present. Which is not to say that I don't indulge in the others from time to time." ~Tannar
"The future is all that matters. The present can be fun or it can be horrible, but it won't last." ~Adam Everard
"The past. I do not say it is better to live there, but it is better to contemplate." ~Danteel
if you were going to kidnap one person, who would it be and why? (note: you're not allowed to kill them)
"In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function...We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." ~C.S. Lewis
Black. Only Black. My probability of making her crack is about less than four percent, but I'll take that chance over nothing any day. Then maybe, just maybe, I can find my path. ~ Acelyn
Why do I need to kidnap anyone? I have my friends, the days are good, and my food is delicious. I don't need to have such dark thoughts. ~ Cecil
If I kidnap Acelyn, I might be able to have my way with her...~ Black
I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth. — Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
