Re: now you know me.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I <3 the oregon trail

The game or the actual trail? :) Just last week, I tried looking up free downloadable Oregon Trail games, but came up empty.

How do you "sorta" believe in ghosts? Isn't that a yes or no question?

Re: now you know me.

[blackwinterbyrd.livejournal.com]

both the game and the actual trail. :) For about 10 bucks at most, you can get one from ebay. I recommend version II. I also have the Yukon trail, but it is impossible to win. I guess that is the point. I'd like to see the Amazon trail game too.

I don't know that I believe in much of anything. I'm a scientist. Part of that means being open minded to things science has not yet touched, and part of that is not deciding what you believe until at least some facts are in.
I'm on the fence. I've seen things, heard credible stories from people I trust, but have no definitive answer for the question.

Kind of like asking "Do you believe in God?" I always ask, "Which one? what do you mean by God? or believe, for that matter?"
I'm an atheist, in that I do not follow any religion, but I strongly suspect that there is something undefinable out there.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I think the last computer game I paid for was Roller Coaster Tycoon. I've been trying to stay away from eBay for years (despite the fact that I'm considering using it soon as a place to dispose of some of my accumulated crap items).

So you haven't personally encountered any ghosts. How old are you? Do you expect to meet any in the span of your lifetime? :) I still adhere to the belief that we create our realities by the strength of our convictions (a circular belief system, I know), so for me, since I don't believe in ghosts, they don't exist. But for those who do, they do.

I'm an atheist, in that I do not follow any religion, but I strongly suspect that there is something undefinable out there.

Wouldn't that make you an agnostic?

Re: Getting to know me

[entheo.livejournal.com]

I'm curious as to what is in your playroom.
hmm, lots of books behind a curtain, RPG's & games packed away. lord of the rings figures. Couches and bean bags, and quite a few hooks and chains hanging from from the rafters.

Re: Getting to know me

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

Neat! Although it's a bit difficult for me to reconcile the bean bags and the hooks and chains.

Re: Getting to know me

[entheo.livejournal.com]

aha well, its a multi function room, for RPG's and gaming (well just D&D at the moment), special nights for adult fun (gotta love mushroom season), and also for kids birthday parties.

Re: Getting to know me

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

That definitely sounds multifunctional. *grin*

More than you wanted to know.

[gwendally.livejournal.com]

1. What can you cook?

Vegetables!

Diplomacy. Tact. I'm a blunt force instrument.

4. If I bought you a drink what would you like it to be?

I haven't formed one.

7. What zodiac sign are you ?

Judging.

10. If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?

Hell, no! I'd be walking, too!

11. Favorite sport?

Biking. No, running. No, weightlifting. No, ballroom dancing. No - oh, hell, I love them all! (Except swimming. Swimming and I have a difficult relationship.)

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you (that you can post in public)?

I'm drawing a blank here. I'm pretty blessed.

I can't limit myself to just one. I'm pretty weird.

16. Do you have any pets?

Yes. My dog, Ela is my favorite pet. I've also got fish, a gecko, a parakeet (who I'm quite fond of, too) and a cat that sends me into fits of despair when I consider his likely longevity.

Oh, I'm a conscience, no doubt about that!

22. What color eyes do you have?

Brown.

My porch or my park. Outside, in any case.

28. Do you believe in ghosts?

Not in any meaningful sense.

Frequent and surprising, considering my Lawful Goody Two Shoes thing.

32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?

Irritating.

33. Do you believe in/appreciate romance?

Oh, yes!

34. If you could spend 12 hours with me and ask/do anything you like, what would it be?

The first thing that comes to mind is to get high. I used to like to do that, 25 years ago, before working for defense contractors (who tested) made that a no-go of an idea.

35. Do you have an ethical code of conduct for yourself?

Probably several.

36. What is your favorite aspect of yourself, mentally or physically?

I overcome obstacles. I decide what I want to do then I go out and get it done.

Re: More than you wanted to know.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I love your walking habit. I hope to get back into that myself once the icky nasty snow goes away (weird to despise the season in which one was born).

And grasshoppers? Um . . . you could get back at them by eating them? Cover them in chocolate first.

I overcome obstacles. I decide what I want to do then I go out and get it done.

I respect that about you.

I'd love to go to an amusement park with you.

I love amusement parks! It's been way too long since I've been to one, too.

Physically, my eyes. Weight, age and illness cant change that

What a good point! My editor at Third Wednesday is an octagenerian, and yet he has the most spritely eyes I've ever seen. (Or, more accurately, elven.)

[chai-tease.livejournal.com]

your eyes can be old, tired, etc. but in the end they will still be there (lets hope!)

did i ever share the quiche recipe with you?

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I don't think you did! I'd love to know it.

[pgdudda.livejournal.com]

I'm omitting the ones that have the same answer in netmouse's LJ:

1. What can you cook?

I think I'm most adept at curry-inspired dishes, but can generally cook anything given a recipe.

2. What was your dream growing up? Has it changed?

Not significantly. Shifted to include the notion of "universal acceptance".

6. What was your first impression of me? Has it changed?

My vague recollection is wondering whether you identify culturally as African-American, or if any such identifcation is solely an artefact of your skin color. [Never did actually ask you, mostly because I got too interested in the other more-relevant aspects of your personality. *grin* ]

10. If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?

Assuming I was driving, yes, I would.

13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?

Catch up; it's been waaaay too long since we've chatted face-to-face IRL.

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you (that you can post in public)?

My father passing away suddenly when I was 15.

15. Tell me one weird fact about you

I used to write on a regular basis, but have lapsed almost completely since leaving Grinnell.

17. What if i showed up at your house unexpectedly?

Invite you in and ask if you needed anything.

19. Children: cute or scary?

Only cute in certian contexts; nice when well-behaved (adjusted for age-appropriate expectations); scary if I Can't Give Them Back™.

26. Would you date me? What if I won $10,000 today?

Probably not. I find certain things about you to be off-putting.

30. What's your swearing style?

Polyglot. If I'm swearing in English, watch out, because I'm not bothering to self-censor.

31. Biggest pet peeve?

I like the "willful ignorance" one. But I really do have several lists; which one do you want to know?

34. If you could spend 12 hours with me and ask/do anything you like, what would it be?

Have a really long talk. I have lots of questions I've never had the opportunity to ask (or in some cases, never quite felt comfortable approaching you with them).

35. Do you have an ethical code of conduct for yourself?

Yes, though I've rarely sat down to consciously spell any of it out.

36. What is your favorite aspect of yourself, mentally or physically?

I think one of my best points is my tendency to err on the side of compassion.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I can generally cook with recipes, although I've been known to mess those up sometimes (like the time I was staying with quility and I tried making biscuit sticks, but I used baking soda instead of baking powder).

I find certain things about you to be off-putting.

Fair enough! I've never claimed to be everyone's cup of tea.

Have a really long talk.

I'd like that. I feel oftentimes that I haven't had one of those since leaving Grinnell.

So, um, will you entertain us more with your Madonna story?

Re: this was fun :)

[quiet-flame.livejournal.com]

Oh, when I was 14 or so I entered a poetry contest for ALLOY magazine on a whim. Supposedly, Madonna picked the winning poem and signed it. I won. So I got my poem framed very fancily and autographed by Madonna. I've always been a bit embarassed of it, but Mom insisted on displaying it proudly in the house. She acts like it's a freaking Academy Award.

Re: this was fun :)

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

That's a neat story! Why be embarassed? If I were your mom, I'd be proud, too. (Not simply for the autograph, of course. ;)

now I see you as more of a very nice academic who happens to be a hardcore black feminist

Historically, I've always seen myself as a feminist who happened to be black. This year saw at least one major incident that has radicalized me to some extent. (The feminist part hasn't changed, though.)

I'm pretty good at boiling things, too. Can I come over to your place for barbeque? :)

I appreciate all of your tattoos. How did you decide on the first one, the first time? How did you know you wanted ink in your skin?

Talk philosophy.

That would be fun. (Incidentally, for some reason this sounds like the opposite of talk therapy. :)

Strolling around Amsterdam - yeah that about covers it.

Oooh, that would be fun. I've always wanted to go to Amsterdam.

[vrax.livejournal.com]

You totally come for a bbq, um, when the weather's better.

How did I know I wanted ink, strangely I'm not sure. When I was teeny kid I saw a picture of a bull with a nose-ring and I declared (i was 3 at the time) "I want a earring for my nose!" One of my parent's friends had a lot of tats and the moment I saw them I just knew.

The first one is the Black Spiral Dancer, it reminds me not to be consumed by fighting against the evils of the world, lest I become evil myself.

All my body alterations feel like I find something that was lost, not as if they are new. Hard to explain but there's a sort of ceremonial deja vu involved when I get altered. The tongue stud was the most profound sensation of having recovered something that was missing, it was weird.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

it reminds me not to be consumed by fighting against the evils of the world, lest I become evil myself.

That is certainly something one should remember.

Ceremonial deja vu sounds cool.

I admire your ability to just whip up food for guests. You are a great hostess.

I like watching figure skating, too. I think the winter Olympics are my favorite. (No, I can't say that, because I like gymnastics, too.)

You are not alone in nail biting, so far as I can see with other people's responses. I used to bite my nails horribly. Sometime around middle school I stopped. I think that was when I started getting really fancy with nail art.

Pick your brain about deck-building and/or poetry

We can totally do that sometime. :)

You and I have very similar viewpoints, I already know that.

There used to be this great soda fountain in my college's town called Cunningham's. That was the first place I ever had a malt. Unfortunately, my taste buds, never having encountered malt before, didn't appreciate it. Also unfortunately, Cunningham's doesn't have the soda counter anymore.

--I have met your wife! Isn't that odd? ;)

I have a nice butt.

I'll take your word for it. Apparently I have a nice butt, too (that's what several people have told me, and who am I to disagree with them?).
