I try not to run anywhere.. you get all sweaty.. messes up your hair.. the coins in your pocket jingle all over.. it's just a yucky experience all around..

Would you ever get a tattoo?
I would cross a shark.. a cheetah.. and an eagle.. it would be a sheegle.. and it would rule sea.. land.. and air..

Do you consider people with addictive behaviors to be weak?
symbolic identification is merely that..

Do you prefer gold or silver jewelry..
It would be called the Dreamcatcher Party..

If you could choose 3 people to remain on earth with you.. who would they be..
no story deserves a 1.. an artist deserves a 1 for even thinking about it.. a 2 for forming it into a piece of work.. a 3 for putting it down in words.. and a 4 for being willing to expose themselves to the rest of us and posting it.. and if it is really quality work.. they get a 5...

Would you ever risk you life for someone else?
Do away with the current political system and appoint myself King..

If you could create life.. what would you create?
The end is mine for all to see..
There is only one winner and that is me..
Sorry but I have just ended your fun..
The game is over for I have won..
behavior is the leading edge of connection or not.. an absolute jerk can like the same things I do but there will be no connection..

Which would you rather explore.. deepest ocean or outer space?
God..

If you could play onstage at a live concert.. what would your part be?

Third Deadly Sin – Verbosity


Verbosity can be quite good, but only when it's used skilfully, like when Edgar Allan Poe or H.P. Lovecraft does, otherwise, I totally agree with you.

Two of my favourites to pull folk up for:

Improper use and misplacement of ellipsis. This drives me bammy and I always tell people "one dot is the end of a sentence, two is underkill, three is just the right amount of kill and four or more is overkill, remember this and I won't have to kill you." It seems to help it get hewn into their minds. I also hate it when people use it in a list, instead of commas or semicolons (which is a punctuation mark that I really need to learn how to use properly.)

And the use of "ect" to mean "etc". Ec Tetera? Nope! Et Cetera? Yes! That's it. (Sometimes spelled Etcetera, both are acceptable). And on the subject of acronyms, mixing up I.E. and E.G. is another peeve of mine. I.E. means Id Est in Latin, which means "that is", whereas E.G. means Exempli Gratia, also in Latin and means "for example". The differences are subtle, I'll grant you, but the misuse is annoying.

Oh, and sorry for being so verbose



So let me ax a kwestshun.. ie.. would not be more than two dots be verbose? eg...... I hate when that happens.
I think I'm not from this planet.. let alone offspring..

Would you live in a castle if you knew it was haunted?
Anger is constant.. sadness is a passing emotion easily replaced..

If you could go forward 50 years or backwards 50 years.. which way would you go?
I'm wondering at the effort it takes anymore to establish relationships and keep them in a comfort level that can be maintained.. so many seem to think that collecting an avatar is the same as having a friend..
Coraline?

Now one of my favorite movies as a kid.... still a classic..

"My dear, either you were born on a extremely rustic community, where good manners are unknown, or you suffer from a common feminine delusion that the mere fact of being a woman exempts you from the rules of civilized conduct."
Because the moon is the light within the dark..

What is the most unbelievable thing you believe?
One doesn't want their friends to lie to them.. but must expect it.. just saying you are a friend is often a lie..

Why is the moon so often equated with love?
Arsenic and Old Lace.. crazy movie...

"So, now you hate the Swedes. How many outlets for your hate do you have, Helen? We haven't been able to find a new house because of your multiplicity of them. We can't buy near a school because you hate kids. They make noise. And there can't be any Jews or Catholics on the block, either. And, oh, yes, it can't be anywhere near the Polish or Italian sections. And, of course, Negroes have to be avoided at all costs. Now, let's see: No Jews, no Catholics, no Italians, no Poles, no children. No Negroes. Do I have the list right, so far? And now, you've added Swedes. And, oh, yes, you won't use a Chinese laundry because you distrust Orientals. And you think the British are snobbish, the Russians fearful, the French immoral, the Germans brutal, and all Latin Americans lazy. What's your plan? To cut humanity out? Are you anti-people and anti-life? Must you suffocate every natural instinct in our daughter, too? Must you label young love-making as cheap and wanton and indecent? Must you persist in making sex, itself, a filthy word?"
I was a "bottle stacker" for my grandfather's supermarket when I was 10.. I spent a whole summer in a hot furnace room separating and stacking all the different glass bottles that were redeemed.. back then cans weren't even developed yet.. there were thousands of bottles!!!!

What is the earliest memory you have?
We all have bloodlust.. some of us hide it better..

Does revenge satisfy you?
I would say 9.. 10 would be perfect and I am far from that..

What would you do on your last day on earth?
You guys play tough... Guns of Navarone..

"You can't hardly tell at first, not till they get to the point of slobbering and staggering around. When you see a critter in that fix, you know for sure. But you want to watch for others that ain't that far along. Now, you take a bobcat or a fox. You know they'll run if you give 'em the chance. But when one don't run, or maybe makes fight at you, why, you shoot him and shoot him quick. After he's bitten you, it's too late."

Hint.. I cried for days after this movie..
Maybe we could have this as an icon in the menu or someplace handy? and I've often thought a dictionary/thesaurus shortcut would be cool too..
