732-750 of 5,000, skipping the ones that bore me

[serene]

736. If you had your own TV show, what kind of show would you make it?

I've never actually told this to anyone, but I'd love to have a cooking show.


737. Do you know how heavy things like airplanes stay in the air?

Roughly. I can't spout the equations or anything, but I know the general principles, and I took a flight-school class once.

738. When do you act the most dramatic?

Hmmm. I don't know. stonebender? Maybe when I'm trying to convince someone of something? I really don't know.

739. Are you one of those people who have, "see photo id,” written on the back of their credit cards?

Nope.

740. It's mom’s birthday. What do you get her?

Food. Either buy her some of her favorite foods or take her out to eat. She is really hard to buy for otherwise.

742. Would you get angry if you and your girl/boyfriend saw the preview for a movie and talked about seeing it together and then they saw it with one of their friends while you were busy?

Nope. It happens all the time, and it doesn't bother me at all.

743. How many people do you think will finish this whooooooole survey?

Not me, that's for sure. I've already started skipping questions, and I'll probably skip more as it goes along. I love answering surveys, though, so some day I may actually get to the end of these.

744. Have you ever written a message, sealed it in a bottle and thrown it into a river/lake/ocean?

Not that I remember, but it's the kind of thing we might have done as kids, and we have always lived on the ocean's edge, so it's conceivable. (My dad was in the Navy.)

745. If you haven't would you want to?

Not unless I were really trying to get a message off a deserted island.

746. If you ever did what would you write?

"Help! I'm a survivor of Oceania flight 815..."

747. What do you wish you could always be protected from?

Dying. Losing loved ones. Hatred.

748. What small thing annoys you so much it should be a crime?

Nothing. I am vehemently opposed to turning my annoyances into crimes.

749. Would you rather watch a video of fish in a tank, or the Yule log on TV?

The Yule log. I love watching fire. It's hypnotic.

750. Is it better to be loved or feared?

Loved, definitely.

736. If you had your own TV show, what kind of show would you make it?

Cool! That would be fun to watch.

I would probably like some sort of performing-arts or music show, where I would get to perform, of course. :)

I used to fantasize about having a radio show. This fantasy got pretty detailed, actually. It would be called "Fat City", and would be all about, you guessed it, fat people, from a fat positive perspective. It would include interviews with activists, news reports of what's happening in medicine, legislation, fashion, etc, I'd play fat-positive songs, and maybe have some performers on to do their thing live. I thought it was a great idea, but never got motivated enough to try to create it. Not to mention that I have zero experience in radio!

738. When do you act the most dramatic?

When I'm "triggered" - meaning, when certain, long-standing emotional issues and/or memories get stirred up by something happening in the present, but where my reaction to it is really about things that happened in the past.

740. It's mom’s birthday. What do you get her?

I am so bad at this. My mind just goes blank at almost any gift-giving occasion. It's embarrassing sometimes!

742. Would you get angry if you and your girl/boyfriend saw the preview for a movie and talked about seeing it together and then they saw it with one of their friends while you were busy?

Nope. It happens all the time, and it doesn't bother me at all.

It's nice that you're loose about that. For me it depends on how much I want to see the movie, or whether sharing a particular movie with a particular person is important to me. If that mattered to me (in a given situation), and I thought I had an agreement with someone to see a certain film and they went and saw it with someone else, I'd be... angry is probably too strong a word, but I'd be disappointed, and maybe hurt. Kind of a "thanks a lot, I was really looking forward to that" attitude. I'm sure I'd get over it. But I would have a problem if someone made a habit of saying they'd do something with me, and then doing it with someone else, without any communication with me first.

744. Have you ever written a message, sealed it in a bottle and thrown it into a river/lake/ocean?

I remember a website from a couple of years ago, where you could do this virtually. You could also intercept messages from other people that "floated" your way. People sent a lot of interesting messages out into the void.

747. What do you wish you could always be protected from?

People who would take advantage of my vulnerabilities, so they could use me to meet their own needs.

748. What small thing annoys you so much it should be a crime?

Nothing. I am vehemently opposed to turning my annoyances into crimes.

I'm not interested in making anything that annoys me into a literal crime, either. But there are some things that just bug the ever-livin' shit out of me, and I wouldn't cry hard if they did become crimes. :) One that comes to mind is when people chew and swallow loudly when they eat. I don't get mad about it a blaming way, as in, "Oh, how rude, didn't anyone teach them good manners?" I mean, sometimes eating is noisy, what are you going to do? It's just my personal quirk. But interestingly enough, although I don't know many people who share this particular irritation, both of my sisters do! Guess it's a family thing.

750. Is it better to be loved or feared?

Loved, definitely.

What unfortunate soul would answer differently??
