You have a cold and are curled up on the couch:
Which bevarage
Food
Animal to cuddle
TV/Film to watch
Book to read
Have you ever been arrested?
Recount an embarrassing moment that makes you cringe still?
Most important this: Beans in pan or microwave? If not beans, subsitute with canned soup.

What do you think of supplementary questions?
Which actor who has portrayed Death did it the best?
What is one thing you would do with your favourite movie to make it better?
As above, with your favourite TV show.
If you adopt Octo, what animal will you treat her like?
After successfully recounting the embarrassing moment Octo has asked for, what is another embarrassing moment that still makes you cringe? And another, and another.
If you were forced to join the defence forces, which branch would you prefer and why?

If you found a perfect copy of yourself, with the same appearance and memories, would you engage in sexy times with that copy? 
Staying on that theme, how would you direct your life if there were two of you? Would you send the other you away to live a completely different life elsewhere or would you live together with yourself?

Hungry Hippos of course
ONLY IF WE BAN USE OF THE PURPLE HIPPO. IT IS KNOWN THAT THAT ONE IS SUPERIOR AT EATING AND THUS UNFAIR.
At that time it wasn't even asked for. It was in 2002 I think or 2003, I'd have to check my CV >< I think at that time there was more demand for teachers than supply, so it got waved. I was going to go back a few years ago when I broke my back and was just desperate to get out the country. I was told that I should really have a degree but not to worry about it, the school would 'sort it'. That's how stuff generally works in the countries I've taught in. In Britain I've been able to get around the degree thing by the school writing a justification for me saying that my experience makes up for the lack of degree and I've been doing extra TEFL based courses for the last 4 or 5 years, which shows my interest in self improvement.
I've got the Cambridge Delta which is equivalent to one third of a masters. I also have a diploma in EFL management which is at the same level. That and my experience more than gets me on the course. (A lot of MA's are negotiable if you have experience.)
This is kinda a big question, but I'm gonna try to answer briefly.
it's a very normal trajectory for someone who has been sexually abused to go into the sex industry. I'd love to say I'm unique or different or whatever, but the truth is I'm middle of the road statistic, just on the wrong road. The reason is that you get groomed/programmed into a certain way of behaving according to the following principles:
These beliefs are hard to read, believe me, they're harder to write! But I want to put them in so you can understand the damage that is done and why people who go through this tend not to help themselves. I've been working on myself for two and a half years and it's been tough. I don't believe these things now, I've had to build new beliefs on them which are more normal. But it's like it's my comfort zone and I really want to go back to believing this because by not it feels like Idk, I'm just acting. But I'm sick off the secrecy surrounding this subject cos while it's entrenched, the bad guys get away with it all and the victims suffer. So sorry folks, I'm not covering up for them anymore. Know me, know me. If you only want to know part of me you can fuck off because all of me is worth knowing, cos I'm awesome.
If you don't want to read, in short people who are abused are predisposed to people please.
- Don't cause problems or make a scene that will draw attention to yourself. Attention singles you out and then you get hurt.
- Normalize bad shit that happens to you, cos it's your fault and your responsibility to hide it.
- People don't like you, they merely tolerate you. Only your abuser loves you.
- Don't tell people about you, they wouldn't want to know anyway. Keep them away from you, they'll hurt you if they know the real you because you are bad.
- You are bad somehow, this is why you're punished. You deserve this.
- Any attention is love and any love is good. It doesn't always feel good because you're bad. If you were good, you'd enjoy it.
- Always be polite, don't make people angry or you'll get hurt.
- Pleasing people is the most important thing, because if they are pleased they might show you love.
- You don't exist unless someone is showing you love, whatever that is, because you are bad.
So I'd moved to Edinburgh and was working for Anne Summers (lingerie and sex toys home catalogue, that does parties to sell the stuff) for extra dosh. I met a woman on a night out who told me she was a dominatrix but wanted to get out the business cos her boyf didn't like it. We switched numbers and she was gonna work for Anne Summers.
When we met, she told me that was bollocks and she just wanted to get her boyf off her back. She also said that I would be perfect for this kind of work and should do it. About a week or so later she told me that a new flat was opening up from a woman that she had worked with before, good contacts etc. So I quite my shop job and went with her on a new job as a dominatrix. I fell in love with her, she was always complimenting me on my figure and personality. We ended up having a very complex relationship which at the time didn't seem so complex but when I try to explain it within the normal society context, it just seems complex
We met up, went to Glasgow, she'd help me with what dress and shoes to bring, we did each other's make up, met the flat owner, exchanged pleasantries, chatted within comfort zones. It was the most natural thing in the world to me. It was a two bedroom flat, 2 women working on shift, her and me worked best together cos we were opposites (petite, tall, brown, white, athletic, curvy, small boobs, big boobs). So when punters phoned up, they'd always hear something they liked.
I still thought the job was all about domination up to my first punter
(I was 18 and gullible 'kay 
) After him I was told that yeah, most of them are gonna be just sex, not many people go in for domination. So I normalised and people pleased and it was easier than domination anyway, which I have done and it's hard to do! 
Once you're in the system and have contacts, it becomes a way of life that you don't just leave.
I also worked in strip clubs very briefly, that was by going and asking for a job. But I didn't like it.
I also worked as a kissogram/strippogram and that I totally loved. I got into that by me and my working partner being out one night dancing in this sleazy hip hop club and the people next to use were scouting for strippers. They saw me dance and started talking to me about it, numbers were exchanged and next thing I knew I had a whole room in the palm of my hand. I did escorts with them too but was mostly booked doing the grams. Give me a room full of people and I'll get them all clapping in time and shouting for more in a matter of minutes. I did grams through the week and every weekend, even did afternoon ones. Did them all through Edinburgh, right down to the Borders out to Berrwick (sp?) and up to the gates of Glasgow - We had to turn down Glasgow gigs cos the boss had some issues with sauna owners there or something. I used to get regularly approached by rival companies and heard often that people were copying my costumes and name and stuff. It was a whole lot of fun
But it broke my heart to leave when I went to China to teach and when I found out that my boss, Gerry had died a few years ago, it really hit me hard. When I left he said he'd never see me again and that that was the way it was in this industry. But I wish it hadn't been.Everyone's welcome to do what they want, I don't much care who comes here to live, the more the merrier.
But if you move to Wales, you should have a bash at learning some basic phrases at least. I wouldn't move to another country and refuse to learn any of the language, it's just a courtesy. And you don't have to learn the whole language of course, just please, thank you, how are you? Y'know the basics.
If I had or if I was? I'd the power to get down and boogie! Cos dancing is fun!
This is a silly question - no one would ever pick grapefruit unless their intention was to use it as a weapon of squirt destruction. But omg how fun are bananas to play quick draw with!!
(Esp if you do it too much and make the end all floppy so the banana projects itself onto the floor )Ryu says I should say, I don't have time for this question.
I'm flattered that you think I know about such cool and disturbing things.The one that makes you strip
I demand you go to the member picture thread immediately and come up with a more flattering question. Now!
(Also: Carlie and Ami - I fear they could run rings around me.... and already have, along with Lex they kidnapped me into a Gamerspective Podcast. For which I only twigged what was happening when Lex spelled it out to me
Yes! I love playing the card game 'shithead'. And I love playing chase with animals cos they have a similar attention span to me. (Mostly horses and dogs, cats are a bit shit at it cos they lie down and purr).
I used to like chess and othello, but I'm no good at them, I just like 'em.
Reality, I'd die.
In my head, I'd survive and be the person always trying to get everyone to get along and see the bright side of things - Then I'd say ah fuck you all and storm out in a hissy fit, then I'd die.
I'm at 2:9... when does it end? 'fraid I'm limited by the BBC on this one, but I do dig the show
Ah we'd actually be here all day if I did this.
I'm into most genres of music and when the ipod classic was invented I just went into music heaven. I do get overwhelmed by how much music there is out there sometimes. When i think about how limited it was when I was a kid, I'm so spoilt for choice now, it's great. Songs will be sung about it and ballads written, the history books shall ever remember the battle of Cab and the wheelbarrow.

Fangu's post is full of win. It's how I managed to answer all those in my posts.
But now back on topic, maggots ...
Mushy peas or garden peas?
Is your blonde hair natural?
Can I be your maid of honour at your wedding? It'll be the third one I'll be one (the other two haven't happened yet, mind) and three is the magic number.
Are you bloody caught up with the soaps yet, or do I need to perform a running commentary?
If you were forced to share a body with a TLS member, who would it be?
If you were forced to stay stuck reading the mind of a TLS member, who would it be?
Choose now: vampire or werewolf?
Your favourite British film?
Which fictional character would you be, if you got the chance?
Pick a weapon: sword, bow and arrows, fists, lance or staff?

No, literally, if you were a superpower. You can choose 'superhuman' superpowers or actual world superpowers if you like - either is fine.If I had or if I was? I'd the power to get down and boogie! Cos dancing is fun!

Why am I stripping? Is it an attempt to steal my wallet or my innocence?
Are you saying that you are not a mummy but that Carla is your worst enemy and you're trying to kidnap Ami because she looks like your girlfriend? Because I mean, Imhotep got his skin back pretty quickly in the movies, which is where I was going with that (not the gross WHERE'S MY FACE version).

That's the idea
You have the qualifications for it and you do it, but your heart is in journalism and cars that go very fast
I've learned and forgotten a lot of languages
I'd like to be able to speak Spanish cos I love the band Ska-P and I'd love to be able to understand what they say without a translation program. Also ny best friend is Colombian and when we get drunk I switch to French and him to Spanish, it'd be nice if we could switch to the same language I'm fascinated with Russian atm and Arabic has always been interesting to me. But I'll probably go with Russian to get to know next
No, I'm an earth kid. Visit, for sure - I'd go wherever my mates wanted to go. No preference, But I like trees and rivers and all that jazz. I'm with Eddie Izzard on the subject of our solar system, "it's just rock, we live in the most boring solar system I've ever heard of, and I've only heard of this one!"
I don't mind at all, and when I run outta time Ryu is gonna step in
idk, right now?
I loved living in Indonesia, life was fast and mad there, I'd go rafting one weekend, then be playing gigs through the week. I saw James Brown there which was fab but I wasn't settled in my soul cos I'd not gone through a lot of stuff I had gone through since.
Best time of my life? I'm gonna choose in a couple of months time, cos the future sounds like fun.
Not really no, the only thing I'd like to have changed is that I never had my appendix removed when I was a kid.
No U
Oh lots of places! New Zealand, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, South Africa, Colombia, Brazil, America and somewhere cool to go Scuba diving.
Really not half as poncy or good as that.
My favs are: Jive, Samba and rumba but I can do most dances, bar tango, but I'll learn it at some point. I just like dancing, but when I go to clubby places people accuse me of dancing too sexy
I guess I only really know one way to dance by myself. So when I dance ballroom and latin, it's set steps and I blend in. Between serenity and die hard
(terminator used to be my fav when I was younger Oh and best teen film of all time is breakfast club)
um idk, I used to like supernatural, but it got a lot silly. I really loved Buffy years ago. Ah I know, no contest actually - Doctor Who.
Summer
Think I answered this - Indonesia cos a lot of my mates are there and Indonesia has a ton of cool shit to do in that country!
Like you have to ask!
OH PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS CAB CAN WE ADOPT HER?! I ALWAYS WANTED MY OWN OCTO! I promise I'll feed her and take her on walks.
Um, I think that's a yes - I can't say no to this guy
Although this member spotlight thing seems to have come with a lot more commitment than I had originally signed up for
You guys should probably know that I'm also getting married to Yopy, Dawn, Aaron, Ami and I have rights and possession on Ryu's penis. Things got a little crazy the other night and I'm afraid we've all just got to live with the consequences of Yopy suggestion polygamy being a good way to go.
Shademp, we're gonna need a bigger house to live in I think.
John Bishop - his teeth are wrong and he just strikes me as being a smarmy git. (Although to be fair I've never really listened much to his material - his face just puts me off.... I can be judgmental, I'm the consumer in this relationship!)
I really don't want to like Jimmy Carr cos his comedy doesn't really go anywhere, it's just one liners. But I love him on panel shows and he is a very funny and clever guy.
Michael Macintyre - he's just too fucking posh camp, made for 1950's housewives TV.
Alan Carr - He just comes off as really false
hmmm dunno, I tend to scrub music I don't like from existence!
I think John Popper is shit - He's the harmonica player in Blues brothers 2000 that tries to get Elwood to listen to his band. Some of his songs are cool, but he's not the harp heavyweight the US blues scene paints him to be. Jason Ricci is an immense harpin heavyweight but gets very little recognition in comparison cos he's unconventional and unpredictable (gay bipolar dude who gives free harp lessons on you tube and connects with his audience). That pisses me off.
I don't get a lot of the extremely opinionated death metal bands. I respect what they do as musicians, but it's not for me. That guy who burned an inverted cross into his head... Glen summit I think he's a prick.
Nazi punks - yeah they can fuck off, it was never what the music was about and don't fucking stamp your bullshit on my passions cos that's when you will see my claws coming out. The Clash was one of the first bands to tour with black artists (EG Bo Didley) and incorporate different genres into their music to open the minds of their fan base and welcome in everyone. So don't fucking use great music as an excuse to dribble your misinformed opinion wank
in my ear space.
There's a lot of pop that I got no time for, but idk names. I actually really like people like Rihanna, Lady Gaga etc they're great at what they do. I can't listen to them over and over like I can Rancid, but that's just personal taste eh.
Which bevarage: freashly juiced fruit juice - apple or orange based
Food: golden vegetable cup a soup
Animal to cuddle: Mwli - the Siamese cat who is a super cuddly cat to the max, his fur is even teddy bear like - Although the fucker woke me up at 5am this morning by yowling non stop outside my door demanding food.
TV/Film to watch: um, Probably Air Crash Investigates or some other disaster documentary. I find disaster documentaries oddly comforting and they help me sleep.
Book to read: I don't read stories, so it'd have to be something factual. Probably something on nutrition, history (cold war era is good when you're ill) or linguistics.
Yes and no.
Yes I was technically, but I talked my way out of it. I started writing about a holiday in Macau (China) in the creative section and I never finished it
My boss cracked his head open drunk, we went to the hospital and got stitches put in with no anesthetic, where upon he damaged my hand by squeezing it - never give a person in pain your hand to hold - lesson learned. We didn't have our passports on us, so the hospital called the police. While we were waiting my boss went mad, he had seen his bandage on his head and was goose stepping round the hospital like Basil Fawlty! He thought the hospital was a train station, the lobby to our apartments, etc - it was a hell of a concussion. The police turn up and he gets in thinking they are a taxi, so I don't have time to explain. But in the police car I put my best language skills to the test and persuade them to turn round and take us to the hotel where our passports are. We had inadvertently stayed in a hotel that only prostitutes used, so this didn't really help much but the police men were really nice about it and advised me to leave the hotel and take my "husband" home - who was still effing and blinding and thinking he was in movies and shit. Luckily the policemen spoke no English!
I nearly got arrested after drunken shenanigans at a tourist Buddhist temple in China. But we hid and got away with it. - Stupid early 20's idiocy.
I would often get stopped by Indonesian police looking for a bribe, but that's the normal corruption run of the mill stuff out there.
I sneaked across a border in China too once. I'd been out drinking, a mate said, come see where I work. So I piled in the car and off we went... outside the city. I didn't have my passport to get back in the city so we hatched a genius plan. Before the border, I'd drive (I was very drunk at this point) the border guard would see Shenzhen plates and a white driver and not stop us.
The border guard stopped us.
But he didn't want the hassle of the paper work but couldn't let us through, so he told us to go to the next border check point and go with our plan. He'd call ahead and tell them to let our car through. So we did and all was well. Um, it sort of made sense at the time!
(I had offered to hide in the boot but that was deemed unreasonable.)
Oh Christ any time I've been manic! How long you got? I'll have a think and get back to you.
microwave, but if it's left overs already in the saucepan I'll use the cooker. I've lived plenty of times without a microwave and I don't really like them tbh, but convenience etc.
And awwww you remembered I don't like beans
Thanks for the multi-quote info Fangu
Ummm, they're superfluous?
I can't think of any films with death in it atm. I quite liked Death in Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure. I also liked Death in Monty Python's the meaning of life. idk - pass or give me options.
In my opinion vampires and fairies always make a film better.
In my mind they work together, fairies to do the world's gardening and vampires to do the world's culling and fertilizing - I got a cool story bout it all somewhere. But just about every film I've seen could be improved by bumping into these dudes. EG Star Trek - the borg one - "holy shit you think you got problems up on that ship? People are getting slaughtered down here!" Or Any terminator - Oi, machine guy, you do not belong on this planet, gtfo... fuck he's not dying. What the heck is this thing?
Reese - future, blah blah
You are fucking kidding me?! Right shit just got real, Conor, you got work to do with us.
See all that would be kinda cool I reckon.
Oh and ditch all the fucking romance sideline stories in every film ever. It's not always necessary.
Same same
Shademp's taking responsibility for her, so I think he should answer this. I'm just the one that plays with her.
Why do you guys think I have so many embarrassing moments in my life?
I'm telling you I got cool swagger 24/7. Dunno if it's my most embarrassing but going to a bar with my staff in Indonesia and getting totally hammered. Woke up the next day with a memory of a fun night. When I got to work I was informed that I had been dancing on the bar and later the tables, had joined the band and sung a few songs with them, was uncorking and swigging wine like a pirate from the bottle and then took a bloke home.
That was pretty cringe worthy cos I had no memory of it, it happened in front of staff and I had a girlfriend at the time (and I've no idea where the bloke went, but I don't like sleeping with strangers through the night so it's conceivable I booted him out).
This behaviour really isn't in my character normally and tends to only happen when I go manic. It's not really an excuse, cos obviously I know what I'm doing. It's like I just don't care and bring a whole new meaning to living in the moment. I'm not proud of my drunken/manic antics, cos while it's a funny story, it's fucking embarrassing when I do start to care again. But then time moves on and so do I. I think I just don't want people to have the wrong opinion of me - I'm not the person I was when I was in my early 20's, I'm deeper than that and worth more.
I dunno, RAF I think, planes are cool. I couldn't kill a person up close, I don't even think I could drop a bomb, I certainly couldn't direct people to their death - I just don't have it in me.
I'm not clever/analytical/logical enough to go into intelligence which would be cool to do something linguistic there like code breaking or listening in on the enemy.
Eh after thinking on it, I'd probably be in the medical side of things, cos I can deal with gore and be practical about it (farm upbringing) and while I protest against it, I seem to care about people.
If you found a perfect copy of yourself, with the same appearance and memories, would you engage in sexy times with that copy?I love how you never cease to amaze me. But 'fraid not - I got too much self hate goin on deep down. I think we'd have a lot of cool conversations though.
Only one of me mofo! She'd have to gtfo, but we'd meet up and exchange notes every few years - it could get competitive though.
OH PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS CAB CAN WE ADOPT HER?! I ALWAYS WANTED MY OWN OCTO! I promise I'll feed her and take her on walks.
Like I could say no to you, you crazy crazy man! You know she comes as a set though right? We got Mr Octo and Freybs too. I might need a manual or something.
ONLY IF WE BAN USE OF THE PURPLE HIPPO. IT IS KNOWN THAT THAT ONE IS SUPERIOR AT EATING AND THUS UNFAIR.
yeah fair do's - Oh I think I know who the best death is
You only have one more episode left; there are ten per season
Whoop!
The pressure of keeping up to date with this was getting to me! I prefer to watch these things in one night on a dvd Fangu's post is full of win. It's how I managed to answer all those in my posts.seconded.
What are you talking about? It's just rice.
Maggots Michael, you're eating maggots.

(Mushy is an abomination)
Sure thing, but only if I can come crash on your new sofa sometimeCan I be your maid of honour at your wedding? It'll be the third one I'll be one (the other two haven't happened yet, mind) and three is the magic number.
I lost the will to live watching EastendersThe stories moves too slow and everyone is really pink in that show. Can you let me know when exciting things happen and I'll jump back in.
Oh good question! Um I think Keveh, we take tea more or less the same and would have entertaining thoughts.
You been watching Misfits? - fab show
Maaaaaaaybe Omega cos I like the worlds he dreams up, there's a lot to read in his mind imo.
Easy; Vampire (Lost boys generation)
Off the top of my head: The boat that rocked or Shaun of the Dead
Um idk - Murdock from the A Team, he has fun and has lots of imaginary friends like me
Or
Reno FF7, he seems like he's got a pretty fun life and cool hair.
I went through a phase of playing with bows and arrows at an archery range, that was fun. I used to date a guy who was into sword fighting and reenactments. Both of which allows me to know that these are fun toys but crap weapons to take on the bus. So I'd have to Jackie Chan it with ma fists, then jump back going ow ow ow ow ow!
followed closely by
There's a difference in them?
Was this just compensating for something?
Confession: I never played the game.
I got The Spirits within and thought it was a cool film when I was living in China. A few years later in Indonesia I saw Reno on the cover of a DVD and bought Advent children. The film made no sense whatsoever, literally; I think they had run the dialogue through a translation program. So things like 'volcano' became 'big fire mountain'
I kept watching it cos I was fascinated by this story that made no sense. Eventually I got another DVD of it where the subtitles were done properly and eagerly sat down to figure this film full of beautiful people out. But it didn't make any sense either. So I went online, found out about it, found out about the game, read a script someone had done of the game, joined forums and got the DVD with English dubs on it - which I didn't like. Watched that other film they made that was Turk centered, read a load of fan fiction, watched commentaries and spoofs, joined ACF, spoke about it.
It still makes very little sense to be honest. Yeah, I get it cloud's got issues and gets over himself. Rufus becomes a good guy and rain clears everything up - which makes me think that Rufus may well not stay a good guy. But there's a lot that just doesn't add up in this story. If you're Turk and are all about being a bad guy hench man, why switch ethos and motivation just like that cos your boss gets sick? Where the hell did all these kids come from and why is no one worried or even objecting when they all get taken to the LSD forest? WTF is with that LSD forest? Cloud's mates are basically all fuckers and fair weather friends so no wonder the guy is depressed, there are plenty of times they can take down the 3 silver haired dudes, but everyone's like, "no no, player 1 is Cloud, best leave it to him." And no one thought to lock Jenova's head away? Wtf is Rufus doing carrying it about with him? Drama queen much? Again which makes me think he's not such a good guy after all. And Tifa needs some fucking Prozac and counselling, cos she's got issues.
I think what I like about FF7 is that it's a story people won't let die, even when it's batshit crazy. But while it's way out there, it still has enough threads to pull me in. I think enough of a story that I wanna fill in the blanks with, but not enough to make any sense.
TL;DR - Games are too big to fit into films.
Keveh - the funny one you think will die, nearly does then doesn't.
Ami - Strategy. She puts it all together then admits she knows nothing of field combat.
Aaron - Logistics, he is trying to figure out how he landed this detail as he's seen better fighters. But learns to respect us all cos of our personality and has an affair with Sprites.
Yopy - Opens doors and disables alarms, seems to be a bit of a wimp then kicks bottom with the cunning use of a potted plant, then a big ass gun for the second wave of attacks that we never saw coming.
Joe - The nice one who gets it on with the enemy, changes sides then dies. (Sorry Joe, but if you're gonna be a traitor
)Carlie - The mad one that runs off on a suicide mission, Ami has to often save her and they get locked out the fight and end up playing poker in the ammo room.
Reg - The one everyone likes, but dies to motivate all (Sorry Reg, but it's in a good cause.)
Omega - The rogue who got talked into joining but is not fully commited to the cause. He's going on a favour to me.
Mog - The guy who you really think is gonna make it, cos he's got his shit together and knows stuff. Then he dies five minutes before the end.
Sprites - the girly one that is only here cos of a typing error on the sign up sheet. She takes on med duties but is more interested in doing her gorgeous nails and we all kinda agree that this is the best use of her time, since she Non-fatally shoots Omega by accident.
Howl - The hippy who was drafted and we're not sure if we can trust.
Ryu - The brains behind the operation that no one takes seriously cos he's always wise cracking, until he sacrifices himself to save the team who didn't listen to him.
X-Soldier - Rich guy who puts us up to it then turns up half way through the film informing us that Shademp is his brother and that it's a capture mission, not a kill mission. Threatens to wipe us all out of society if we screw up. He may die, I've not yet decided.
Shademp - the evil genius we're going up against who has attacked Alaska to divert forces while he attacks The North Pole for it's energy reserves. He escapes at the end for the sequel.
Gabriel - The best friend who went over to the dark side and is fighting with Shademp
Octo - The brains behind the logistics and recruitment of the bad guy operation.
GLD - Bad ass that fights well and puts the willies up us all.
Mage - double agent, we're never too sure which side she's on, she's not too sure either.
Dawn - Sexy temptress who outsmarts and kills Ryu
Tel - The bad guy that you secretly love cos he's got some swagger to him and great one liners. He's also a mad arsonist and bomb maker though and loves the destruction.
Twilight Mexican - Science dude, directing drilling and operations but not wanting to get involved in any fighting cos he's only here for the science man!
Ghost X - Informant to the good guys, but has to kill Joe when he realises he's a traitor.
Yeah ok I'm bored now - If you wish to be included add yourself in
Sheep whispering
I'd probably be British Empire Era superpower. I'm kinda old n outta date, I charge in with a good idea, then spend the rest of my time back tracking to get out of it and I get what I got by essentially falling arse backwards into it. That's about Victorian Britain.
(Today's superpowers ain't my bag man)
Superhuman superpowers, I'd be some kinda light life force that shoots out your hands and fills people with love and fuzzy feelings.
Cos we're playing strip poker silly
and you were never innocent Uh, yeah, sure, why not? Or Lex is my enemy - tbh I'm not sure where this is going.
Cos I'm a people pleaser who always strives for group harmony. And I'm pretty good at people management.
Very rarely. My hands are v ugly
French Manicure or goldy/bronzy type of colours or pink n black for a punk thing, sometimes red red when I'm going for 'dat look.
Thundercats or Count Duckula. Also loved Danger Mouse
I'm writing way too much here
I guess bungee jumping in China - walked by it and just signed up for it. Chinese Health and Safety, is not famous.
Hitch hiking a lot when I was a teenager.
Scuba diving off my meds n putting myself & others in potential danger in Martinique.
Going to just about any country I've gone to.
Climbing Krakatoa in flip flops.
Stroking a man eater tiger.
Riding crazy ass horses.
Take your pick
Have you and Ami gotten each other's numbers yet?
Nah, we've not got that kind of relationship

Been thinking about this a lot and I just couldn't do it
If I had to, I guess I'd choose someone who damages lives a lot, like one of those paramilitary types who recruits children. But there would be little point because the role would be quickly filled by the second in command. This is my problem with this question, if I use my kill to do good, I'd have to kill more than one and that would make me as bad as them. I could use my kill towards a person who has wronged me, but then I would be lashing out in hatred, fear or revenge in an overly extreme way and that's not healthy for me cos even without repercussions, I have to live in that mindset and that would be horrid. It's possible I've over thought this!
Yeah, when my niece's were younger they all had names, now they do, but I've lost track of a lot of their names.
The cockerels are McNaff, Jay-Bob and Brian
There's Sociable and unsociable chicken
Ummmm Ezermay, roadrunner, um idk, I lose track.
My favourite chickens were Lizzy and Sparkle - they had attitude, but passed away of old age a few years ago.
We used to have ducks before the fox saw to them: Mrs Bea Quackers was the only one that had a name cos she'd talk to us in a telling you off kind of way.
Sheep wise we only name the pet lambs: Lizzie and Milly lamb. My Dad has some names for others, but idk them. (Lizzie often pretends to be a chicken so she can get extra food and will eat from my hand. Milly lamb is an enormous sheep and very tame too).
Horses:
Aio, Rosie, Layla, Kevin, Anna, Secret, Gus, Twilight (AKA Twirly), Mel, Mini, Leah, Spirit, Kizmit, Oliver.... idk the rest and they're all gonna be sold this summer. My sister is nuts and was in charge of the horses so we went from a max capacity of 7 to over 20 at one point! :/
Cats: Mwli, Tiger, Mao, Cindies
Dog: Freddie (Mercury)
