Tattoo, if I can afford it. I shall get a pentagram and within the pentagram, I'll have an inverted pentagram, which represents life and birth.
Symbolism or literalism?
I've only ever used electricity. No, wait, I used gas when I was learning to cook in school, and it didn't agree with me - I'm allergic. I'll stick to leccy, it's what I know.
Peace and love or war and hatred?
Staycation. It sounds more fun than a cruise.
When someone irritates you, do you walk away, not rising to their bait or stick around rising to their bait and eventually causing someone to get hurt?
Bletherskite - someone who just won't shut the hell up, even though you wish they would. Can make the sufferer feel angry or violent, often both at the same time. In extreme cases, it can bring out the vengeful side in people. So, when someone calls you a bletherskite, the best thing to do is SHUT UP!
I can't answer this question fully because I've never been in that situation, but if the person on whom I was pulling the plug, had expressed a wish to not want to suffer, then I would.
What the hell is with all the heavy questions?
Idiot: Someone who can't work out the answer to a conundrum.
I'd give quite a bit of it away, but not most. First, I'd pay family debts. Then buy a house. I'd give my family a good sum of it, and start a trust fund for my brother, so he can go to further education. I'd turn renew my passport, flit over to America as an investor, marry Aria, and use it to start our business. I'd probably spend quite a bit of it on her family, too.
Would you ever take a job purely for the money, even if it made you miserable?
Probably, unless a good reason was give, you know, like I might die, or something.
Would you ever be an internet troll?
I do not think that
alcohol should be consumed
at the crack of dawn.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Have you ever just wanted to hurl an ax at someone's face?
Prick:
To make a small hole in something with a sharp point.
Make stand erect ("Prick up your ears and listen, boy!")
Vulgar: A part of a man's anatomy.
The vulgarism is the one I'm having for my word of the day. Why? Just because, you prick!
I can't say because they're two absolutes. It depends on the crime. Take your arguments back to the Ask & Answer thread, please. There's no need to go having the same discussion on two different threads, that's just childish.
What's cuter: Big cats (lions etc) or small cats (domesticated, wildcats, feral etc)?
It changes daily, sometimes hourly, but my favourite just now is rumplefyke. It means to have an itchy arse.
Do you ever wonder if your timepiece is lying to you?
I joined up for a variety of reasons, but the main reason was because of a competition. It wasn't one that I'd entered, but actually the compete flipside of that. I wanted to score and comment on a story. Then I wrote a few, then a few more, and here I am. People's motivations for joining may not be pure, but their reasons for staying can change. Give them a chance.
I can't count. Haiku
sucks. Syllables are silly
and I am confused.
Song of 4 by BABYMETAL. They seem to be my favourite band at the moment.
I love rock and roll! Put another dime in the jukebox, baby!
I have often, physically and mentally. There is one good reason to run: Running to Aria.
Would you ever try to argue with an expert, even if you didn't know what you were talking about?
No, not those bothersome things that come in through the window and kill you with cold air. Nor the board game. Nor being called up by the bothersome army. I mean drafting stories.
Do you draft your stories?
Do you have a rough idea, then do a rough outline, and flesh it out later?
Do you plan in meticulous detail?
Or maybe it just happens without drafting?
Do you put a draft on paper?
An enquiring mind wants to know.
I tend not to draft. I sit and think and then just write, or sometimes I just sit and write, without any clear idea of what I'm going to write about. I've always been a little baffled as to why people draft, but I do understand it on some level. One of my teachers told me to draft a story and I went ahead and just wrote the damned thing. When she asked me why I'd done it, I said that I had an idea and just wrote it down, I don't need to draft. This teacher was as eccentric as me, and we were on the same wavelength, so she understood what I meant, and allowed me to keep going. Most teachers would have told me to stop and plan it, but when faced with a creative brain, you just have to let it go. Anyway, enough rambling from me, I wanna know your thoughts on drafts.
Pssht, screw the tables, I'll go outside and eat! I'm a natural loner, and don't like eating in front of others, anyway.
Have you ever had a sword lobbed at you by a moistened bint?
Well, that's that story finished, I think. Where the next one goes, nobody knows. Even I don't. I have a very vague idea, and I'd like to keep it at that, until I start writing.
There was a young man from Rome,
who lost his favourite comb,
he looked all over,
and in a little ringed plover,
but all he found was some loam.
