The Get to Know You Game...

[Ginevra]

I'd really have to say, um, no . . . on that one. . . .

What's your favourite place to hang out?

[Head Wreck]

i cant say i have one. down on the coastal park is good during summer, if not theres allways the local bar in winter

are you more at home in a bar or club and why

[gothicmom]

Club. I like the loud music and I LOVE to dance.

Do you like sugar in your tea?

[phee]

Not recently no.

Q: Why don't you call your parents? they probably miss you.

[Darque Knight]

A. I call them often. So no they don't miss me.

Q. What's your favorite novel?

[Shade Everdark]

Lord of the Rings. Far and away the most immersive experience I've ever had.

What is your least favorite novel?

[gothicmom]

I don't have one. If I don't like a book, I stop reading it.

Which is better, the book or the movie?

[Darque Knight]

A. It depends how close the movie follows the novel. Unfortunately it's usualy not that close so I'm going to have to say the novel is better.

Q. What is your earliest vivid memory?

[gothicmom]

I was 3...lying on the couch....watching tv-happy days i believe....it was a clear sunny day and I saw an airplane up in the sky.

How far back can you remember?

[Fierce Critter]

A) Possibly infancy. Being carried by my brother who was put in charge of me often. The guys would come calling and he'd take me to the pool hall with him.

If that's a "placed memory" based on stories told in later life, I can still remember being in a crib, looking out at my brother whose room my crib was in. At most 1 year old.

Q) Now that you're "grown up", do you do any of the things you swore as a kid you'd do when you "got older"? Like, buy all the candy you want, etc...

[Marblez]

A. Actually, I was thinking of this just today. I wanted to be the coolest mom. If my kids were interested in a thing, I was not going to judge and help them with it. If anyone knows where my 4 year old son can get lessons in breakdancing or skateboarding...let me know.

Q. Do you have a live journal?

[ManicQueen]

Yes I do!

Whats your favorite color?

B~

[JaneDead]

i have a few favorite colors but mostly blue... silver... purple... and black/red/white together

q- how will you feel if bush is re-elected president?

[phee]

Dispair and horror.

Q: How do you feel with the knowledge that we are continue on our path of being universally dispised by most of the world?

[JaneDead]

well i don't blame them and i know it's not my fault.

q- how did you feel the first time you voted?

[phee]

Excited, I think I was smiling.

Q: Do feel like your votes matter?

[JaneDead]

yes. and even more so yesterday. i was pretty excited to vote yesterday. i kept thinking... i wonder how many people out there are voting for the first time- for who i am voting for- feeling like i am right now. hoping and praying that their vote really counts to change things.

q- how do you think things would be with kerry as president? how do you think things will be with bush being re-elected? if bush is president again, are you concerned with things such as 9-11 happening again?

[phee]

I know what it's like under Bush: Loss of jobs, bigotry, terrorist attacks, wars, censorship, animosity from the international community, etc... As far as Kerry, well it's hard to say, he didn't seem to prject the same arrogence as Bush, but I really have no idea...and given what I know about Bush, my fear of the unknown in Kerry was far smaller than my fear of the know in Bush. And I know that the 9-11ish problems will be far more likely under Bush. And I can't blame the other countries for having a bad view of us either.

Q: What will you do now?

[JaneDead]

honestly... i don't know. but i am truthfully quite scared/unsettled. i am worried what will happen next. i don't see it as anything good/positive at all. and i don't want to live my life with this "fear". i don't want to wake up every day and wonder what color we have elevated to for the terrorist attack warnings.

q- i really have nothing else to say right now. so someone else can ask a question.

[gothicmom]

Do you eat to fuel up you body or for entertainment?

[phee]

I think so?

Q: How do you shake off the depression of this election?

[JaneDead]

a- know that it may be a loooong four years but in the grand scheme of things it is ONLY four years and not forever thankfully!!

q- how into politics are you? do you follow along regularly with what is going on or only care around election time?

[Darque Knight]

A. I've been into politics since I was a kid. I want to run for office someday.

Q. Do you feel that they should change the rules and allow people born outside the US to run for president?

[Head Wreck]

yes. elect ME! MUAH HA HA HA

do you also think the UK is getting to chummy with the bush admin or is it just us brits?

[Fierce Critter]

A) Actually, I've felt the U.K., or more specifically, Tony Blair, has been too easily influenced by the U.S. - as like the little brother who sticks his tonge on the cold, metal pole 'cause his bigger, meaner friend goads him into it.

Q) Do you take any pride in the fact that Michiganders seemed to "get" what was at stake and vote seemingly based on issues such as the economy and not so-called "moral" issues, like Ohio?
