Looks like I may have a ton of these, so this is collection 1 of Reflections |
| If you could develop any superpower, what would it be and why? If it came with a significant downside or the inability to fully hone/control it (e.g. telepathy that you couldn't turn off, flying but you'd sometimes float in your sleep, invisibility but you had to concentrate to become visible), would that affect the superpower you'd choose? Would you choose to have none at all? Well you mentioned my first choice; invisibility, but I'd have to concentrate to become visible... I suffer from serious fly on the wall syndrome remember? Scientifically known as Feline Curiousitous. That actually doesn't sound like an awful side-affect. 2nd choice is telepathy, but only to read minds, not control things. Not turning it off could be a dangerous side-effect though....think I'm hoping that by only reading minds I won't be as much of a threat should the side-affect threaten to make me crazy, Red Phoenix style. In my unconscious effort to mention Sands' Argeneau Vamp series in every other post, I gotta bring up the fact that I was listening to The Reluctant Vampire tonight and part of the story is about this 15 yr old new turn that has extraordinary talents, including mind reading, and they're afraid she may go 'no-fanger' or "bat $h*t crazy" in laymans terms....that would suck. I want to be more creative with my power though...hmmm, I shall have to think on this.... --------------------------- I have decided to join "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  1/3 of the way in! Like I said in Review of "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  : I don't expect to win this month but if I don't sign up now who knows when I will, besides, doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you blog the prompts ;-PIt's Creation Saturday! Do you cook? Share with us one of your favorite recipes to prepare. Did you invent it yourself? An old family creation? If you don't cook, remind all of us why we shouldn't let you near a stove. I hate cooking.....maybe cuz I'm lazy, maybe because eating healthy is ridiculously expensive and just thinking about that saddens me. But I DO love to bake from time to time! I learned a really neat thumbprint cookie recipe from an old college roommate. I heart baking from scratch. I don't do it nearly enough. *20 min later* Can't find the recipe I've used so here's another. --------------------- ION: Future Action book/script scene, possible for
"Something's wrong with me, I need to slow down." "What? Why?" "I almost killed a man just for grabbing my ass." "You should have killed him. Guys like that are scum of the earth." "No, I'm a killer, not a murderer." "And the difference is?" said skeptically, eyebrow raised. "People kill to survive, they murder to prove a point. Or simply because they can and for no better reason, it's sickening." |
| ....can't make me a little girl again. Do your friends and family follow your blog? If so, do you tailor your posts accordingly? If not, and you suddenly found out that your friends and family read your blog regularly, would you be okay with it or would it make you nervous? Why? Good question. My family aren't big readers on or off the internet so the only one to ever read my old LiveJournal (LJ) was my Aunt Pat. She's the best for the job too because, she gets it. That being said I have shared some poems with them and even given them my port address, but I doubt most, or any, have taken the time to peruse it yet, which is fine with me. I somewhat tailor my FBook posts to be more 'family friendly', but even that pushes the bounds a bit. I would never tailor my blog though or be nervous if I knew they read it. This is a safe place for all my unfiltered thoughts. One thing that sucked about LJ: there was a time or two that real life friends (who brought me into the site to begin with) were the subject of my post and I had to hide/lock it. But after a year or so I even made those posts public. My goal in life is to be the type of individual that is the exact same behind someones back as I am to their face. I HATE when people lie to me or talk behind my back. I may not like what you have to say but that's far preferable to you only spreading bile about me when I'm not around to defend myself or at least attempt to understand your side. I've said it b4 and I'll say it a million times more: Communication is Key. My family already knows me as 'the one who always has a reason/comeback/rationale'. What they don't always understand is it's not because i'm "combative/argumentative", it's because I've taken a ton of time to think and analyze why I am the way I am; why I think the way I think; and feel the way I feel. Many 'adults' in my life just aren't ready for that. Not saying I'm always right, not at all. But if you ask me why I did something or try to argue with me about some decisions I have made I will likely be ready with a counter; especially if it's a choice that's been made/in the making for a long time. K, that was somewhat of a tangent but anyways: No they don't follow on the regular, I would be fine with it if they did and it would not make me nervous. ....though I may be a bit more diplomatic with entries like "Sensitive Topic" ...then again knowing me, and depending on my temper at the time, maybe not...... |
| Guilty pleasures. What are three movies, books, television shows, music artists, and/or games you're afraid to admit to other people that you actually really enjoy? Why do they appeal to you? Hmmm, I'm not really afraid to admit anything to somebody, but I do like a ton of 'non-mainstream' items so I don't usually post/talk about them a ton in mixed company. Movies: probably anything Anime, or animated in some instances Books: romance novels, so far I only read Sands on the regular and consider it more action/romantic comedy than 'slut snuff' but I think most people assume everything in the romance section is racy TV shows: reality TV junkie, but there are soooo many options I even find myself being biased against many of them and try not to judge people that absolutely love the Kardashians or Pawn Stars *bleh* "Day 7: I miss reality" Music: this is where the biggest separations occur; only talk about country with....well very few people, my rock obsession with my rock buddies, and my love of good hip hop/rap beats with other urban enthusiasts Games: I haven't played much recently but when I do get into my xBox phase I again have a very restricted number of individuals with whom I can have meaningful communication Hard to explain why they all appeal to me, but I'll try: Movies, Books, Games: all to do with the fantasy of escaping to another world that I can't have here on earth Reality TV: as partially evidenced in "Day 8: Fly on the phone got smushed...." I love learning about people, people watching, and being a 'fly on the wall' so to speak; every once in a while, when it's not obviously scripted, reality TV allows me to do this guilt freeMusic: I just like a good beat and clever lyrics, I could care less what 'genre' it is, good music is good music damnit ---- Prompt: "Note: Hey Writers! Nicholas Thompson, editor of the New..." I may actually do this come Spring: http://writeahouse.com/ All I have to do is survive in Detroit for two years and I win a house!....I always wanted to be on one of those survivor shows...... |
| Write about a time where you overheard or saw something you weren't meant to. What was it, and - in retrospect - are you better off or worse off for having overheard/witnessed it? *groan* I had ALMOST forgotten about this scarring part of my childhood, then the last part of this prompt jarred it. Ok, so I was listening in on mom and dad talking over the phone. They were either newly divorced or recently separated so I was about 10 years old. *sigh* ugh don't want to type this but....heard my mom tell my dad that she was.......feeling.....'randy'. *shudder* adults get the idea, honestly I still remember it from time to time but typing/thinking about it now just makes it feel sooooo much worse UGH! I'm not 'better' cuz of it...but don't think I'm worse either, just....scarred.....so scarred......so very very scarred..... Let that be a lesson, don't eavesdrop....on your parents. |
What's your opinion of reality TV? Love it, hate it, indifferent to it? Why? LOVE the idea of it. It used to be great when it first came out but at least half the shows are overly scripted with ...sub-par actors now. My bio talks about my love for some reality shows. I remember Real World back when it was real, like really real, like one of the housemates had AIDs real. Good times. The realness, not the incurable disease, but his story still lives on and touches people even today. I think I'm drawn to reality TV because it allows me to be a proverbial fly on the wall, something I really enjoy doing. I know lots of people dislike it due to the falseness but I'm game because for every bad one there's at least one other decent one....right? |
| If you could live in any fictional world (novel, movie, television show, comic book, etc.) which world would you want to live in and why? I LOVE Tamora Pierces Winding Circle universe via The Circle of Magic quartet, but it's set in a primitive world and I'm much too millenial for that  Source: http://tamorapierce.com/books.html Soooo, it'll have to be Lynsay Sands Argeneau Vamp universe! I'd like to be alive during Star Trek times too but I can only choose one and if I'm an immortal my chances of being alive during space flight grow exponentially. I's so smart  |
| My midnight bus from GA went without a hitch, then the craziness started. I got in around 9:20 am. My éver reliable sister *tongue a tiny bit in cheek* picked me up off the street around 10am. For whatever reason, apparently traffic, we got to Dayton around noon. My gambling Granny had kidnapped my car and taken it to her Saturday poker game. Granny returned my vehicle around 2:30pm. After spending time with her, granddad and my cousin I sleep drive home. Spent time loving on my kitty Monkey (My neighbor watched her but I'll never leave her alone for 3 weeks again! Neighbor said she actually started crying around middle of week 2, she NEVER cries!) Crashed out around 3:30pm Lounged around today, went to Kroger (all the Cuties are gone?! what?! missing my baby oranges....and I forgot to get more Emergen-C!!!) and Library (rented 11 movies and picked up Maya Banks' Rush), it's miserable out and I can't find my wallet *facepalm* sooooo that sucks. O my begoodness what an amazing prompt! Even though there's no legal/copyright protection for ideas themselves, do you think it's morally acceptable to take another writer's idea and write your own version of it without permission or giving them credit? Would you find it more or less acceptable if that person weren't a writer or artist themselves? Why? Why is this amazing?! BECAUSE I think about this on a fairly regular basis when it comes to FanFiction, more specifically, my FanFiction. I don't do it often because I prefer my own ideas BUT I am infinitely enthralled/curious about Lynsay Sands take on the traditional vampire. If you're not familiar with the Argeneau Vamps, here's a quick rundown: They aren't "vampires", they're immortals. The genetic basis for their fangs, super speed, longevity and long list of awesome powers stems from BIOMEDICALLY ENGINEERED NANOS! kewl right?! It continues.... The nanos were created in ATLANTIS thousands of years ago. Atlantis fell, the nanos matured and then the people evolved into 'vamps'. Source: http://www.lynsaysands.net/ Anywho, I love the idea of writing a NON-Fanfic Vampire Action/Romance novel using the Atlantean-Immortal background. NOW Does this constitute stealing? I have no problem giving Sands credit but I'm afraid to ask....(ask for forgiveness not permission allowed?). Before you answer: think about it. Does one need to ask Anne Rice or Bram Stoker to use their medieval vampire ideals? What about Twilight? Say I want to write an unrelated novel about shiny diamond vegetarian vamps; aside from the Twihards reeming me over the digital coals in all the message boards, could it be published without financial/moral backlash?! I don't know the answer but either way it shouldn't matter if the mother/father of the original concept is an artist/writer or not. |
| First day home n internets on fritz n toilets backed up, sigh How would you get away with the perfect murder (or bank robbery if you prefer something less... homicidal )? Great prompt, shame typing with thumbs tonight. I like to think I'd only murder a murderer n ideally I'd have superpowers with which to get it done, same goes for the bank job. |
| It's a BEAUTIFUL morning here in GA. Haven't been outside, it's apparently only 40 degrees or something but the sun is shining bright. Not real excited about plunging back into Ohio Snowland, but I do miss home. *sigh* Bus leaves at midnight! Do you have any tattoos or piercings (other than your ears, ladies)? If so, what have you had done and why? If not, would you ever consider getting a tattoo or piercing? What would you get done and under what circumstances? I've considered getting a Winnie the Pooh tat, sitting and holding a jar of honey. No piercings please, I'm not a fan of needles. |
| SO today I am beginning my 3rd Annual Secular Music Fast. Meaning? Only listening to Christian/Spiritual/Instrumental music till Feb. 2nd. Why? Well I started Jan 2012 and it's always been a great 'centering' way to begin my year. So yay. Prompt: If you suddenly came into a large sum of money (inheritance, lottery, etc.) that gave you just enough to pay off all your debts and buy one luxury item for yourself of any size and scope... what would that one luxury item be and why is it important to you? Hmmmmm, if I can 'cheat' and say I want a nice sized Yacht that COMES fully staffed for the rest of my life then I would like that because I love to travel, I love the water, and I enjoy the 'finer' things in life. If I CAN'T cheat theeen.....a really nice dream house with all the trimmings.....that comes fully staffed with on call cleaners, cook, nannies....ok ok, just the house; because Home is where the Heart is and I'm a slight home body and would love to have a place to entertain and house my friends/relatives when/if need be. |
