Ohhhh, Britty, very cool question!!

 

Swazi

Two easy questions for you:

5. What is the last thing you usually think about when you go to sleep?

6. What is one life lesson you've learned in the last 10 years that you'll likely carry with you for a very long time?

 

Then you might like the book I got it out of. It's called "If2..." and it has 500 "If" questions in it. The authors are Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell. The first one is titled, "If...(Questions for the Game of Life)" also by Evelyn McFarlane and James Saywell. I just have the second one though. I think it was my sister's book. I just kind of stole it.
It's pretty awesome if you're like me and love to ask questions to get to know new people, and to even know yourself and your loved ones more deeply!
It also helps if you aren't very good at coming up with your own questions, heh.
It's full of great icebreakers and discussion topics, IMO.

 

Here are my answers:

1.Do you think you'll remain the UK or eventually ship off elsewhere?

I’ll be in the UK for a few more years, and then I would like to work in a different country. London is good while you are young, but you are essentially in rat race, same routine..etc..I think as I get older I will be looking for a more varied life style. At the moment I ‘m definitely leaning towards South Africa. Pound is pretty strong so I will definitely get good value for money. It all depends though, if the crime stays at the ridiculously high levels I won’t be moving there, and will probably move to some other hot place.

2 .you could solve one the world's problems (other than racism) forever, what would it be?

There are so many, but I’ll go for the right of free education for everyone on the planet. It should all be of the same standard as well. I know I’m dreaming…and it will probably never happen.


3.If you had to choose the one thing that gives you the most comfort, what would you say?

I would have to say I have fascination about learning/reading about other cultures and world affairs. So I would say that probably gives me the most comfort and enjoyment, amongst other more obvious comforts.

4.If you could have anyone from history welcome you into the afterlife, who would you want it to be?

This one I had to think for a bit. There are so many people I admire. But for me it has to be Dr Martin Luther king. It would be interesting to see what his take of the world would be today. I’m sure I would be in the company of someone filled with positivity and happiness.

5. What is the last thing you usually think about when you go to sleep?

Well, there is the honest answer (starts with “s” j/k)..and the “correct”/polite answer. I’ll answer correctly. Recently it’s been “damn hope they have cleared all the snow of the train tracks.” We have had the most snow in 18 years here in the UK. So all the public transport has been “on” and “off”.


6. What is one life lesson you've learned in the last 10 years that you'll likely carry with you for a very long time?

Hmm..I would have to say the importance of networking, It can come in handy at times..

 

OMG I just answered all these and just as I clicked okay firefox closed. I'll answer again after my shower.

:smt009

 

OK, Swazi

7. Who is your favorite musician and why?

 

I like a lot of music, but I think my favourite artist would be Bob Marley. Understated musical genius in my opinion. A lot of his songs carried a strong message.. His stance on weed makes me laugh though. I think he use to smoke it everyday, and towards the end of his life you could definately see the affects..

Watch his ramblings about the benefits of the " Herb". Herb is the healing of nation according to Bob..Watch this short interview:

Eww.. You think that Bob Marley was rambling? I think you might need a new favorite musician.

 

Look, I can still appreciate his music without advocating his stance on weed. And yes he is rambling in my opinion. "Herb" is not the healing of the nation in my opinion.

 

Very cool. I'm going to check that book out! Thanks!!

 

hmmmm

 

He's not even rambling he's just been getting his "healing of the nation" on. But I was just kidding with you. I'll give you your respect for picking a great favorite musician. I just think your would enjoy it more if you took part in some healing.

:smt020"Sheriff John Brown always getting me. For what? I don't know. Everytime I plant a seed. He say kill it before it grows.":rock::smt033

 

Haha..take part in some healing.I'll pass on this one..lol. You know back in my college/university days, I had to do labs with a fellow student.First semester he was really good and we worked well together. When the second semester rolled along he had decided to take part in some healing. Guy would stay up all night to take part in some healing, and would struggle to make it to labs. I had to do the lab on my own and pass him the results..F*cker got so damn lazy, he would ask me to write up he's lab reports for him! I would politely say no. Taking part in healing is okay for some people who can control themselves, but for me ever since my lab partner screwed up so badly, healing of the nation has never been on my agenda.

 

I feel you. Chalk it up to him just being a lazy f*ck. Plenty people get things done around their healing time. Healing didn't stop me from making the Dean's List twice out of 4 semester in college. Healing dosen't stop me from going to work 6 days a week. But I can see why it's not on your agenda. Respect.

 

Swazi:

8. If you could freeze your mate's looks at one age, but you would grow older, what age would you pick?

9. If you had to pick the TV personality you were most in love with as a kid, who would it be?

 

Ooh, I'll join in with this. I'm asking Swazi's 10th, right?

10. How do you feel about public displays of affection?

 

Woohooo!! I'm next...

Let's go...

 

Britty!

1. What was your greatest accomplishment of 2008?

2. Who was your first crush?

 

8. If you could freeze your mate's looks at one age, but you would grow older, what age would you pick?

Yeah, interesting. It’s a hard one, but if I was pushed I would say women in their mid twenties are nice. Can’t give you an exact number. I am attracted to all ages though, within reason.


9. If you had to pick the TV personality you were most in love with as a kid, who would it be?


During my School holidays I use to watch a TV series called Sweet valley with two twins in it...I had a crush on one of them. I think her name was Britney Daniels.

10. How do you feel about public displays of affection?

Public displays of affection are okay, until people started carried away and smooching right near you, and you can hear everything. Apart from that it’s all good!

Okay now Britney’s turn:

The classical question first:

3. If you were stuck on desert Island, what is the one thing you would take with you? and why? {apart from yr boyfriend}

4. Do you believe all people are inherently good, and make mistakes, or are some people just simply evil?

 

1. Nothing comes to mind. I started a lot of things but didn't finish them that year.

2. My first celebrity crush was Elijah Wood. When I was little and he was little and had the puffy cherub cheeks and huge bright blue eyes. After the movie "The War" with him and Kevin Costner in it, I stopped crushing, heh. My first IRL crush was this boy named Wesley. I was 7 and he was 10. He was my "boyfriend" too. On my 8th birthday he (his mom) bought me a white rose in a clear glass vase and on the card he wrote my name as "Britini" heh, and he dotted the i's with hearts, which was sweet even though my name isn't spelled that way. He also used to ride his bike to the store and steal me packs of Bazooka bubblegum, heh. I also remember one time him, me, and another boy were at his house up in his room looking at magazines and he spit on the models in the magazine saying that I was prettier than them. He moved away shortly after. I remember I had a dream of him riding his bike away/leaving and I was crying in the dream begging him not to go. Then a couple or few years later he moved back to the neighborhood and we tried it again but it didn't work out because I confessed that I lied to him about my age. I told him I was 8 and turning 9, but like I said, I was 7 going on 8. He didn't like that. So, it was over.
