okay here ya go...

1) If you could reserve one place in the world and you had sole access to do whatever you wanted to do there for 24 hours, what would you do and why?

2) If you could meet any one person who has ever lived, who would you pick and why?

3) If you could change one thing in history, what would you change and why?

I always wanted to have sex in Zero G so....maybe the shuttle.

Interesting question....I think I would like to speak with Joseph Campbell as he spoke of the root religious experience, read transcendental, and yet though he sniffed this out academically, there seems to be no reason that he actually experienced that which he was so passionate about all the while remaining christian. Seems like such a paradox.

The burning of the Library of Alexandria. There scholars were treated like rock stars and never before now, albeit the internet is largely porn and misinformation, has there ever been such an accumulation of knowledge and learned persons in one place all working in a matter of pure science, or rather love of knowledge.

Excellent questions!

2) how do you consider your self successful?
3) what is the thing on earth you like the most and why?

Nearly, yes. I would get more specific but I do not wish to write a novel in response...literally.

In many ways I am not but that was not the question. I stand when I should fall, and look forward to every pain that I might become numb to it or stronger by it. So overcoming some bad programming and becoming half as social or open minded as I have is quite an accomplishment; you may not believe it but the difference is immense. Frankly, I just getting by. My achievements are in the past, even if I just had them. I do not know why this is such a hard question!

Love. When I can feel it, when I am open to it, then the illusion of isolation is gone.
This sounds like sappy dreck, but it was the first thing that popped in my head, so I guess it is the most honest.

I'm not burnt out on this yet.... but to be fair, I will ask you randomly weird questions like I asked the others :)

1. What is the weirdest assumption you have ever heard about yourself?

2. If you shaved all of your hair (head/body) this winter, would you have enough to knit a sweater for next winter?

3. What is/would be your stripper name?

I remember someone on here thinking I was female. Wish I had better for you.

No, not really. I am not all that hairy.

Hmmm.......Green Eyed Devil? or where you looking for something like Johnny Sprinkles?

Spoiling myself because I expect no one else to do it. All the more so, when someone does. Movies, books, any form of great escapism.

Dwelling on the past. Feeling isolated. Not having many who relate to me.

Always a little. I am used to criticism. I am not used to praise. Sometimes praise effects me more but still only a little.

do you feel the need to be surrounded by people or would you rather be alone?

do you like yourself?

what about yourself are you most proud of?
