sierciaI'm reversing the meme, 'cause I'm curious about everyone else. Questions for y'all to answer.
1. What's your favorite book and/or movie?
2. What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?
3. What one thing do you wish people knew about you, but they don't?
4. What question are you just dying to have someone ask you?

Oooh, I get to go first!
Date: 2002-02-28 07:48 pm (UTC)2. I do a lot of stupid things. I would say that getting married because "I gave my word" is probably right up there.
3. Because of abuse issues, I flinch a lot. And have an incredible fear of choking, which gets me nervous when people's hands/arms are too close to my neck. So, umm, don't.
4. "What do you think about this thing I wrote/drew/made/composed/whatever?" (I love it when people show me their creativity.)
second!
Date: 2002-02-28 08:48 pm (UTC)2. i could tell you, but then i'd have to kill you. i have done alot of stupid stuff (or stuff my over analytical brain perceives as stupid) the second stupidest thing i've done is get horribly drunk and said something i should have kept to myself
3. i may look cute, but i'm stronger than you think- and i like protecting people as much as i like being protected.
4. 'would you like to run this costume museum in england?' (the only other things that come to mind are 'would you like to paid for your internship this summer?' and 'how about not having to write your thesis and still graduating?')
Doing things halfway
Date: 2002-02-28 09:03 pm (UTC)My very first favorite book was Jane Eyre...
But the answer I am likely to give to the question is The Talisman by stephen king and peter straub
You knew this...I'm not sharing anything fun there
Movies are a straddle between Princess Bride and Resevoir Dogs
The other two are hard, and the sharing is scary
I dont know if theres -anything- I want people to know about me sometimes...and then I get into these wierd fits of sharing...where i have this burning need for somone to -know-...these I always regret.
I make better for the listening than the sharing when it comes to the important stuff.
If you listen well enough, people won't realise, sometimes for years, that they consider you a close friend but know very little about you.
So in my tradition of doing things half assed, I answered only the first 2.
But I still love you! :-)
Ask, and ye shall receive
Date: 2002-02-28 10:54 pm (UTC)2. Stayed with a woman I didn't Love because I was too afair of hurting her feelings.
3. I am supremely comfortable talking to my friends and saying anything at all but I cannot approach a woman that I find attractive and just introduce myself and start talking. I freeze up and get extremely nervous.
4. Do you, John, take

Date: 2002-02-28 11:57 pm (UTC)2) I've done plenty of stupid things in my life, but the one which comes to mind is leaving an abusive father, only to live with an abusive boyfriend. Fortunately got out of that one.
3) I'm not sure about that one. If I want people to know it about me, I'll usually tell them. But if you're pressing me for an answer, I wish they all automatically knew to stand on my right side, not my left side, on my good non-deaf ear, without me having to switch sides every time I speak to them.
4) Would you like to do XYZ at ABC time? Not just dating, but generic friends. I can actually be horribly shy about making the first move with progressing friendships, as I tend to bounce off the other person's mood and actions.

Date: 2002-03-01 05:46 am (UTC)1b: Dune (the David Lynch version). Everyone but me seems to hate this one. Go figure.
2: That would imply regrets on my part, and I don't have a lot of those... I guess I would have to go for "Went to Harvard Summer School and freaked out so bad I ended up in the psych ward"... but that sort of implies that most people could've predicted that one. Too sheltered, I guess. Ah well!
3: That I'm a genius, and that the world would be much better if everyone just did what I said? Maybe not. How about that under all the obnoxiousness I'm genuinely a nice guy?
4: "Do you mind if I give you a two-hour backrub?"
oooooooooooooh.
Date: 2002-03-01 07:56 am (UTC)Book: Individual - Persuasion, Jane Austen

I hardly ever read novels. :P
Oh, and movie, A&E's Pride and Prejudice, hands down.
Since it's really a miniseries, I'll name a second,
The Shawshank Redemption
2. Buying things I couldn't afford, repeat, repeat, repeat.
3. I'm such a fuckin' open book, everyone knows everything about me. :P Um. I associate ringing phones with pain, and am rarely thrilled about phone calls. Although I make a TON of them, go figure.
4. We have $10K we just can't place, did you need a raise?
Answers, you want answers...you got 'em...
Date: 2002-03-01 09:29 am (UTC)Favorite movie: Aliens...the second one...love it.
Stupidest thing I've done: Continued dating a boy that I knew was cheating on me, but because I loved him refused to accept it.
Something people don't know about me: Um, wow, no one knows everything about me, and yet some people know things about me that other people don't. Perhaps, no one really knows how truly self-concious I really can be. I come across pretty brazen, but it's pretty much an act.
Question I've been dying to hear: What would you say if I told you that you really were beautiful, and that I've been an ass all these years by telling you that you were fat and ugly?

Date: 2002-03-01 09:29 am (UTC)Prolly either: The Stand, By Stephen King or Queen of the Damned, By Ann Rice.
The Stands movie was passable. Don't get me Started on the basterd that is the new Queen of the damned movie.
Favorite Movie: Girl interupted. Because I relate to it Way way too much.
Biggest regret?
I have alot of things I wish I didn't do. Right now. It's leaveing HS. Even if leaveing HS was oneof the biggest things to change my life, and if I didn't I might not be where I am today. (In Boston With Joe) I just wish I'd have realised i wanted to teach and started on it as soon as I could have.
Insted of being here working on my damn diploma still. I totaly envy my brother for being good at school and getting all A's an B's with not much effort.
What people should know about me?
There's lots. I feel like people tend to be taken aback by my general first impressions. I'm sereosuly a very multi faceted person.
That, and that I put up a good front when I'm hurt, but I tend to lash out and act all irrational like when some thing really upsets me.
What question Do i want some one to ask me most right now/ There's two.
So when are we going to set a date to get married?
and
Do you like this house? I like this house.
