Get It All Down: and we are put on this earth a little space that we might learn to bear the beams of love

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. But what was the question? if you have to ask, you'll never get it
What is a juggalo? a fan of ICP
Are you a fan of Crass? only in the generic
If you were going to write a short note to yourself and then put it away and read it in ten years, what would it say? it would come in many volumes and look a lot like my journals...
When someone does something that is wrong, do you believe that they know in their hearts that they are wrong but they push it down into their subconscious and rationalize away their guilt? some do. Some don't get it at all. Some don't care.
How can a person have sex with someone they don't love? they. are. NOT. the same thing.
Have YOU ever? yup
What are the paradoxes in your head (that is when you believe two conflicting things to be true)? love is hard. That is all.
What does each set of two words suggest to you?
...pale gravity: chicken casserole
...little mornings: Mondays
...spiritual machines: lava lamps
...eccentric being: furry housecat
What movie would be AWESOME in 3D? oh my God--The Wizard of Oz
Why is it important to write and think clearly? huh?
A girl and her boyfriend are hanging out. It is obvious they are together. Another guy schmoozes between them and starts hitting on the girl. The boyfriend tells this guy to back off. The guy just keeps bothering the girl. Do you think the boyfriend would be justified in hitting this intrusive guy? no: use your words. And, girl: speak up.
A girl and her boyfriend are hanging out. It is obvious they are together. Another GIRL (lesbian) schmoozes between them and starts hitting on the first girl. The boyfriend tells this girl to back off. The girl just keeps bothering the first girl. Do you think the boyfriend would be justified in hitting this intrusive girl? no
If you answered yes to one situation and no to the other one, why the double standard? clearly not. It's up to the victim--if she perceives herself as such--to speak her mind. And there's no call for physical responses in the face of emotional discomfort.
What do you think of the name Prue? it's the name of the main character in a book that I once read (Leaving Patrick). I bought the book a month or so ago and it's on my to-read shelf.
What would you spend your last dollar on? Cheetos
Have you ever won an eBay auction? If yes, for what? I think that the only thing that I've ever bought from eBay was curtains, discontinued from Ikea
Would you like it if Blockbuster had a drive-through? what's Blockbuster?
When was the last time you taught someone something and what was it? the greatest thing about one of my best friends is the way we constantly challenge each others' knowledge, poking preconceptions, debating, arguing, laughing at getting one-upped...
Why do adults and teens not understand each other? over-exposure
Are you afraid? yes
Do you trust large drug corporations? "trust"? Definitely not.
Do you trust the Food and Drug administration? again, I wouldn't use the word "trust"...
If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? it makes vibrations, whether or not there is a person present to absorb them
Four of the five senses are routed through a special area to the brain. One sense goes right to the brain and so is a powerful sense involved with memory and emotion. Which sense do you feel this is? smell
Are you on a ship of fools or a carousel? ship
What is your bathing suit like? black with white dots
Whose line is it, anyway? spooky! I'm watching outtakes from that show on youtube right now
To be or not to be. That is the question. What is the answer? "yup"
Does beauty exist as a definable standard or is beauty in the eyes of the beholder? yes, both
Why do you think it is that so many people have the same idea of who and what is beautiful? because it exists as a definable standard--something about symmetry and balance and Fibonacci
Where do your standards for judging beauty come from? the Midwest
Would a war with Iraq help or harm American economy? lord.
What is the first thing you would do if you saw a nuclear explosion in the distance? relax, maybe send a quick text
Would you like to be cryogenically frozen? ugh, no
Think of the person you love the most. Would you be willing to murder a stranger in order to save that person's life? Why or why not? yes, because my thoughts about him are sometimes not rational, and always protective
Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can? I can imagine it, but I couldn't do it
How messed up is:
...your hair? very. It wasn't a great hair day.
...your room? pretty bad
...your car? really, really, really dirty and salty and winter-ish. I miss living down the road from a detailing shop that did a good job for a fair price!
...your life? it gets kind of murky at times
What are you running out of? bread, athletic socks, and Tylenol
What do you live for? love
How did you decide it was worth living for? I try to live without it, and that is more painful than the periodic dings and dents from what I'm doing now
Do you consider some people to be too:
...traditional? in a sense, sure
...conformist? definitely. Maybe the bane of my existence.
...avant-garde? if it's pointless--avant garde for the sake of being different and not because you feel it--then yes
...smart? no, I don't see that as a problem
...stuck up? definitely! There aren't enough exclamation points in the world for that one.
...modern? too modern? Not in those terms, no.
...beautiful? too beautiful? Well, I can see how someone can be so attractive or good looking that it detracts from knowing them in various ways.
...ugly? if I start thinking that way, then I am the ugly one
...obsessed? pot, meet kettle
...emotional? see above. It would be hard for me to point the finger there.
...petty? yeah, there are some very petty folk in my realm these days
...sneaky? ugh, not going there
...fat? that's me
...thin? I think it's possible to literally be too thin, but I'm not one to go around thinking or accusing it
By what criteria do you judge others? I judge people all day long, most of the time without thinking about it or realizing it. We all do.
Do you look at peoples' words and actions or the underlying reasons for those words and actions? yes, both. Words and actions matter, but so do the reasons behind them.
Which would you rather collect: Simpsons action figures? KISS gear? Anything with a smiley? Horror movies? Simpsons stuff, I guess
Do you fight for your rights? sometimes
Would you rather be a construction worker or a crossing guard? crossing guard, since the construction worker is likely to have to deal with one of my irrational fears (heights)
What is enough to satisfy you in life? something to read, someplace to write, and something to challenge me
Do you think you have more, less, or average life experience for your age? probably average? Maybe not typical, though.
Why go to college? because I love learning. If I could do nothing but take classes for the rest of my life, I'd be a very happy person.
Have you considered joining a cult instead? it is a sort of cult
