03:22 pm - Whoops, I nearly forgot PTIGRIS!
Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."

I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
Update your journal with the answers to the questions
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions, if you want.

Now, to satisfy

ptigris's curiosity:

1)Tell me your most vivid and most recurring dream. Include your interpretation.

I have to admit I don't really have a recurring dream, or vivid ones. I wake up perhaps only once a month with any recollection of any of the previous night's dreams, and usually just a fragmented image at that. Perhaps the most vivid dream I recall was the last lucid dream I can remember having, over 20 years ago. In it my brother and I were wrestling/fighting in my parents' home, and he fell two floors down the well of our staircase, onto the tile basement floor. I rewrote the dream the instant I saw him go over, and realized I was doing it. (This was the moment I realized it was a lucid dream, also strangely the moment the dream started to break up). He miraculously grabbed one of the banisters and swung so that he landed on the ground floor, in the foyer, and only turned an ankle. At this point, I think I flew out of the house as if the walls weren't there at all.

2)Would you ever shave your head for some significant purpose? What would that purpose be?

I doubt it. I remain very skeptical about most of the organizations that claim to use donated hair. I suspect that if I ever shave my head (and the idea has in fact occurred to me) it would be for the purpose of raising money for some sort of medical or scientific research. Or, entirely possibly, it will be for no significant purpose at all, but the whim of aesthetics.

3)Will you play Munchkin with me?

I don't own a deck! But barring that problem, without a doubt! And not just one round either!

4)What's the most extreme sport you were a part of or have wanted to be a part of?

I played Australian Rules Football for a tiny bit in high school. We had a gym teacher "on exchange" from Australia (that exchange program was honestly a lot of fun, and probably a good use of resources compared to huge high school student exchange programs - don't get me wrong, I think actual travel is massively beneficial for developing minds, but in terms of overall-effect-per-dollar, this was good). Also cricket, but apart from a heart-stopping few seconds during the "sales pitch" when he convinced us we wanted to try it out, it wasn't terribly 'extreme'. Also, his coaching of water polo left me with the impression he was disappointed nobody was sent to the nurse's station. :)

I don't really do sports though. I'm generally much more intellectually driven than physically.

5)Will you read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert if I recommend it?

I'd give it better than even odds. :)

Current Mood: happy

Resistance is futile - mind you, nap-time is over, so who knows how quickly I'll answer. Having LJ activity today has made nap-time just fly by, what a delightful afternoon!

1) What do you intend to be remembered for?
2) Is that different from what you think you might actually be remembered for?
3) Since self-study is so important to you, in what academic area do you think you could make the largest solo accomplishments, given enough time?
4) I think the drive to self-study (rather than rote or scheduled learning) is often the hallmark of inventors and explorers. What do you explore/invent? What WOULD you?
5) When you evaluate a person's image for attractiveness, what feature do you think you look at first? Does their gender make a difference to your reply?

1) If you were looking to run into Happiness, at which intersection would you loiter?

2) Running makes me feel _______. Feel free to just brainstorm until the words or clauses stop coming.

3) Exercise: more like the sharpening of a fine blade, or putting on yet another patch to prolong the life of your favourite jeans?

4) What character trait would you say carries the most weight with you?

5) Snappy Dialogue, Rich Visuals, Cerebral Journey, Grand World-Affecting Story-arc, or something else ... what sort of story do you find yourself most drawn-to?

1) Cheese - what's something awesome about it that I'm not likely to already know?

2) Hadron collider, Mars Mission, or the new Hubble deep space viewing... the winner of the coolest high-budget science experiment is (envelope please)?

3) If you could make a single major change in the world, and you knew it would succeed but would be your life's one main accomplishment, what would you work at?

4) What's the best book you've read in the last year?

5) Give me the first original short plot synopsis for a sci-fi or fantasy story that pops into your head.

4) Biggest pet-peeve about pets? (or is that people-peeve?)

5) Is there anything on TV that I should know about? (I haven't had network cable for years)

1 Change, Pain, Love and Taxes :)

2 Change- it's better to embrace it and being a pisces it's in my nature to go with the flow. When I resist a direction I find myself in a stronger current that pushes me in that direction until I have faced health issues from resisting.

3 Home is something everyone else has. I feel I'm a gypsy, I long for roots and a permanent home but it seems to be the most elusive thing on earth.. see 2..

4 Anything with wool. I love the smell/texture and the creativity that can be put in pulled out. It's so malleable.

5 Planning dinner I know that sounds ludicrous but honestly I'd rather be cooked for than having to make the decisions and considering I'm just cooking for myself now it often becomes tv dinners.
