fountain pen looks nicer...
eat in or take away?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Jan 24, 2008 0:12:41 GMT
Eat in - cos it doesn't make my house smell bad like take aways do.
Sleeping too much or too little?
|
|
|
|
Post by Goblin King on Jan 26, 2008 21:23:41 GMT
I'd rather sleep too much, and maybe I possibly do!
Back to stationery ...
Graph paper booklet or plain paper booklet?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Jan 26, 2008 21:59:27 GMT
Graph paper, every time.  Because it the order and symmetry pleases me. The plain paper - it's just cwazy, with it's endless possibilities and potential messiness...  Glue or sellotape? |
|
|
|
Post by lollipop on Jan 31, 2008 19:37:38 GMT
Glue - you can do that thing where you put it on your hands and let it dry and then peel it off!
Candles or incense?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Feb 1, 2008 19:56:35 GMT
Candles, cos the light of the flame is nicer to look at than the little wisps of smoke off the incense.
Proper perfume or nice body spray?
|
|
|
|
Post by lollipop on Feb 5, 2008 19:44:26 GMT
Proper perfume.
Taking candy from a baby or kicking a puppy?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Feb 5, 2008 21:57:00 GMT
Taking candy from a baby. Less chance of them biting, and I'm sure they forget it quicker (if they're little enough).  Zefirelli's Romeo and Juliet, or Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet? |
|
|
|
Post by Goblin King on Feb 9, 2008 22:29:09 GMT
Difficult. I'm in a pretentious but traditional mood so I'll settle for Zeff's.
Far Side or Peanuts?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Feb 9, 2008 23:06:04 GMT
Far Side - clearly. Because it's Darker and more cruel. (Although I'm quite a sucker for Woodstock. He's a dude, he rocks). Road Runner or Wile E. Coyote? |
|
|
|
Post by someone on Feb 9, 2008 23:29:44 GMT
road runner
cold but sunny or warm and rainy?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Feb 9, 2008 23:36:50 GMT
(Wile E. Coyote is OBVIOUSLY my choice, I'd have helped him get that damn Road Runner... ggrrr).
Cold but sunny. I don't much like the sun, but rain is more annoying in terms of frizziness of hair. I burn and get rashes and skin blisters in the sun and/or heat. Lovely side effects of one of the mad pills I take... Oh joy.
Tightly-laced corsets or flowing robes?
|
|
|
|
Post by someone on Feb 9, 2008 23:40:54 GMT
tightly laced corsets... as long as im not wearing it... tend to freak out when unable to breathe properly!!!
on stage or on film?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Feb 9, 2008 23:44:57 GMT
On stage, every time! Feeling alive and caught up in the moment, not worrying about looking fat and ugly on film and then the trauma of watching it back.
Shakespeare or Chaucer?
|
|
|
|
Post by someone on Feb 9, 2008 23:49:22 GMT
Shakespeare
translated plays or seeing/reading them in the intended language?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Feb 9, 2008 23:53:49 GMT
Ideally in the intended language, if at all possible to understand it, although a really good translator could do a fantastic job, so isn't always a disaster, lol. I'm fine with French, and probably with some German, but beyond that I think I might struggle...
Harry Potter - the books or the films?
|
|
|
|
Post by someone on Feb 10, 2008 0:01:16 GMT
BOOKS.
original released films or digitally remastered dvd's?
|
|
|
|
Post by Goblin King on Feb 10, 2008 14:13:12 GMT
Clarification required on "original released films"? If they add lots of new bits then sometimes that's just wrong ... perhaps, maybe, ooh, this is tough, erm. Star Wars ... but just think of the surround sound ...
Originals.
Orange or yellow?
|
|
|
|
Post by someone on Feb 10, 2008 15:22:09 GMT
orange
smell of coffee or bread baking?
|
|
|
|
Post by lollipop on Feb 10, 2008 18:57:15 GMT
Bread! ;D
Baking bread or brewing wine?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Feb 10, 2008 20:21:32 GMT
Baking bread is good cos is done and dusted within a fairly shortish time frame, and brewing wine takes sssooooooo lllooooonnnggg. But oh, the rewards! So I'd have to say brewing wine. Silver or gold? |
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Mar 4, 2008 23:07:45 GMT
Ok, so I'll answer this myself - Clearly silver, cos is so much prettier.  ________ Buying books or borrowing from libraries? |
|
|
|
Post by lollipop on Mar 6, 2008 18:06:57 GMT
Buying books. You get the shiny glory of a new cover and a spine that no-one has opened before!!! ;D
When writing something long (story, essay) that will eventually need to be computerised:
Do the draft by hand or type the draft?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Mar 6, 2008 21:49:43 GMT
Type the draft. I prefer to keep it 'clean' looking, and is SO much easier to do that on screen than have a page of handwriting with scribblings out all over the place.
Blinding night out on booze + hangover next day, or pleasant night out on soft drinks but no hangover?
|
|
|
|
Post by lollipop on Mar 7, 2008 17:24:27 GMT
Soft drinks. Not in a blinding mood.
(I think a "clean" draft is a bit of a contradiction in terms - aren't they supposed to be messy?!)
Hurt yourself by accident or have someone else hurt you on purpose?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Mar 8, 2008 0:13:03 GMT
Hurt myself by accident. Being hurt deliberately by other people is not nice - even when I expect it or feel like I deserve it, it still frightens and mortifies me that I might have made someone want to hurt me like that.

Lovely cute baby being sick on you or weeing on you?
|
|
|
|
Post by lollipop on Mar 13, 2008 22:51:42 GMT
Weeing. Less opaque. Baby sick, whilst not chunky because they don't eat anything solid, kinda looks like spunk.
No power supplies in the bathroom or not enough in the bedroom?
|
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Mar 14, 2008 12:11:32 GMT
No power supplies in the bathroom. As I don't have any in there, so am used to that, and if I did have any in there I'd probably manage to get water and electricity in contact with each other to create some kind of frazzley bang or inferno or something.
Lined paper - wide ruled or narrow ruled?
|
|
|
|
Post by lollipop on Mar 14, 2008 18:02:06 GMT
Narrow ruled, I love it! Procrastinating important things or procrastinating boring things? |
|
|
|
Post by Darkness on Mar 14, 2008 23:56:43 GMT
Boring things - cos procrastinating important things is scary and stressful, but if you procrastinate boring things for long enough, sometimes it just gets too late and too irrelevant to do them, eventually, and so they no longer need doing... (hopefully).
Basil Fawlty or Alan Partridge?
|
|
Because it the order and symmetry pleases me. The plain paper - it's just cwazy, with it's endless possibilities and potential messiness...
