1. You have won a prize. You get a house and $1,000,000 to get your professional career started comfortably. You cannot defer any part of this prize, you have to take it all now. If you sell the house before 10 years, you forfeit everything. Where are you going to live, what career will you pursue, and why?

2. Strangely, you have won another prize. ;) The Dead Writers Guild has awarded you the chance to meet Virginia Woolf and Mark Twain. You get 12 hours to spend in their combined companyfor dinner, drinks, and conversation.

On the same night, Everclear is playing show at your school, to which you have front row/center tickets. After the show you get 4 backstage passes and an invite to Art's hotel room where you can share room service and talk all night.

You can only attend one event. Which do you go to?

3. If forced to choose, would you rather lose your sight or your hearing, for the rest of your life.

1. Hmmm. Well, okay. If I had $1,000,000 (I'd buy you a green dress), I would probably pursue a writing career, because with that kind of money I could actually do it. ;) As a kid when people asked what I wanted to do when I grew up, after getting over the initial thrills of wanting to be an actress or a singer, I would say I wanted to be an author. I kind of moved away from that in high school and now, partly because I find writing incredibly stressful, and partly because I'd have to find a job to supplement it, cause an unknown author doesn't make money. :P So that part is easy.

As for where I'd live...I would want to live on the coast somewhere, where I could hear the ocean, and there'd have to be lots of trees. But I'd also want to be somewhere where there was at least some semblance of seasonal changes. And I'm such an east coast girl...so probably off the coast of New England somewhere. I don't think I can pinpoint it anymore than that. :P

2. This one isn't fair, cause how cool would it be to sit and talk to my favorite rock star ever? But, how could I in good conscience give up a chance to have dinner with two authors I find to be incredibly fascinating? Cause that's gotta be the coolest prize ever. ;) I think I could learn a whole heck of a lot more from the two of them, plus Mark Twain was just a really funny guy. :)

3. Okay, so this question has always killed me. :P How can I choose between music and sunsets? My sister's face or her voice? But I think I would go crazy if I were forced to sit in silence for the rest of my life, having to watch other people move their lips, laugh at jokes, and not be allowed to listen in. So I would probably give up sight, and plus I would get one of those cool seeing-eye dogs. :)


Those were hard! Distractions are fun! :)

1) Who would you have picked to play the spring concert this year?

2) If you could be anyone for a day, who would it be?

3) Do you believe the conspiracy that professors get together to make their students do 10 different assigns and have them all due on the same day?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

1. If I could pick anyone? Everclear. :P If I had to pick someone off the list? I would have picked Reel Big Fish, even if they did play here a few years ago. :)

2. Heh. Jennifer Aniston? ;) Or maybe Margaret Atwood, who is one of my current favorite authors, if only to get inside her brain and figure out how it is she write so beautifully.

3. YES! I'm a huge conspiracy theorist anyway, and seeing as how I have a ton of assignments due this week, I'm gonna have to go with a yes on this one. :P

1) what is your favorite word and why?

2) if for some reason you got stuck in 'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' and they *forced* you to erase someone from your memory, who would you chose? (and this can't be like a kid you saw walking down the street one day and never saw again lol)

3) what is one thing you can do better than anyone else you know?

ok that's all :) i'm bad this...

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

1. Undulate. I actually remember the first time I found out what it meant, cause I had to look it up after hearing it in a song when I was in middle school. It's one of those words that matches its meaning. It undulates right off of your tongue as you say it. Undulate...unnnduuuulaate. I'm a dork. :)

2. Hmm. There was this kid in elementary school who had the same last name as me and also had red hair, so once the other kids realized that we weren't related they would mercilessly tease me and say I should marry him. He and I did not get along at all, and we were always competing to see who would get better grades on tests and projects and stuff. To this day, when I think of that kid a bit of hatred is still conjured up from somewhere. :P So I'd get rid of him, cause that's probably not healthy. :)

3. Complain. :P I do it often, so much that I start to complain about how much I complain. Heh.

[alisatank.livejournal.com]

that is funny... because undulate is one of my favorite words too :)

[grrrlishgrin.livejournal.com]

1) how did you find livejournal?

2) in high school, were you rather popular or rather mobbed? did you like your class?

3) where would you like to live if you could pick any place in the world right now?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

1. sihaya09 had one for about a year or so, and I finally gave in to the peer pressure and made one when she gave me a code. Cause I want to be cool like her. ;)

2. Well, I wasn't really popular with most of the school or anything, I was a band nerd. I stuck mostly to the band kids, and within that group I was pretty popular, we all tended to get along with one another pretty well. Outside of the kids in my class that were in band, there were very few people I actually liked. Most of the kids in my school were idiots.

3. Right now? New York City, but only for a few years.

What is one part of your personality that you like, but others tend to not like?

What one thing do you profess to hate, but secretly fascinates you?

How's little Jimmy doing?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

1. Probably my tendancy to get a little hyper sometimes. :P I like the change of pace, it's fun to be a kid again, but I think it does nothing but annoy everyone else.

2. Hmm. Maybe it's the party life that happens on a college campus. I hate all the drunken idiots that shout outside of the apartment at all hours of the night, but at the same time I think I am a little fascinated by their audacity, and by their lifestyle. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be one of those people who sit out on the wall when it's warm and drink and scream and yell, they always seem to be having such a good time.

3. Jimmy's good. He's kind of missing little Joey, though. He's wondering when Joey'll be able to come out and play?

Did you have sex with my mom?
How long did it last?
Can I have sex with your mom?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

1. Oh, totally. ;)
2. Alllllllllll night. Your mom's got stamina.
3. I don't think you can afford my mom.

An odd collection...

[myhomeygfunk.livejournal.com]

*If you could take back something you said or did in your past, would you and why?

*Do you feel silence in the presence of certain individuals can hold just as much therapy and satisfaction as talking things out about your life with them or others?

And on a lighter note :)...

*Would you go skydiving if you had the chance?

Re: An odd collection...

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Good questions. :)

1. I think more than taking back something I said or did, I would rather say something or do something where I didn't. There are plenty of times where I wish I had stayed instead of left, said something instead of remaining silent. So I think, generally, I wouldn't take back anything I said, but I would do a lot of things differently if I had the chance.

2. I think silence can help just as much as talking can. Just being with someone and knowing you could talk if you wanted to, but you don't have to, can be very satisfying.

3. Hmmm. Most of my nightmares involve falling in some way or another, so I don't think I could ever do it unless I was strapped to one of those instructors who could make sure I wouldn't die. :) Otherwise, I think it would be a really exhilarating experience.

Sorry I'm late - this is the first chance I've had to read everyone's updates, and I don't want to miss my chance to ask questions too!

1. If you were elected President of the United States, what is the first thing you would change?

2. If you could pick only one verse from any song as your favorite, what would it be?

3. If you could change one event in your life, what would it be and why?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

1. Ummm...take a tour of the secret parts of the White House? I think that's what I'd want to do before I started in on trying to run the country. ;)


2. That's tough. I suppose, a timeless favorite verse of mine is
He said "it's all in your head"
And I said "so's everything,"
but he didn't get it
I thought he was a man
but he was just a little boy

from Fiona Apple's "Paper Bag." But that's just today. Ask me later and I'm sure it will be something else. :)


3. I would probably like to change around junior year of high school, so that I didn't slack off, so that I got better grades and thus had a higher GPA and thus got into more/better schools than I did. I think.
