Smell. I would miss it, but I'd live without it. Especially considering the bombs my cats leave me sometimes in the litter box. Heh.

It's all in my head.

You wake up one morning and find yourself in the middle of a desert, you don't know where you are but you know you've never been here. You walk for five minutes seeing nothing but sand and sky when a jeep driven by Osama Bin Laden and a few of his companions pulls up behind you. One of them can speak english and offers you a ride, what do you do?

If you could write a book about anything - what would the topic be?

__________________

fresnelly

An engaging mystery, revolving around a long hidden treasure in the heart of a major metropolis, such as Chicago or New York. Adolescent perhaps, but exploring the history,architecture and culture of a storied city in this way would be fascinating.

Furthermore, there would be absolutely no focus on religion, secret societies and the fantastical. Instead, the city itself would be explored through an obfuscating web of beaurocracy, landlords and tenants, ethnic tension, and regular folk just trying to get through their day. Sort of a cross between Chinatown, Law and Order, and The Goonies

What are your plans this weekend?

laundry, grocery shopping, a little house cleaning, probably a dozen hours of work, lamenting the fact that I have absolutely no life, taking out the trash

Wanna come over and play?

__________________

Daoust

Mal, I would looooooooove to come over and play with you and here are my reasons.

1. You come across as being somewhat lonely and a little under the weather and I'd love to cheer you up.

2. With the aforementioned taken into consideration, with your own confession of being without sex for some time, I'd love to give you the man love you're clearly wanting and needing

3. I'd love to taste your snickerdoodles...if you know what I mean.


Question: Do you know what I mean?

I don't have room for a ping pong table. But my Mom has one in the basement of her house.

My favourite board game is currently Risk. Though I am also a fan of Sorry. I kick ass at Sorry.

If I were single I'd have a tough time choosing, but the why would be onefold - teh sex.

So, either Aberkok to hear him perform, or maybe BigBen to listen to the military stories or Maleficent to see if she really drinks that much coffee.


How do you like your eggs?

Edit: Too slow

Right now I'm working on a 3D Autocad drawing that's pretty tough. It's a section of circular aluminum truss. I'm trying to draft an internal skeleton of the frame but the original was drawn as a solid object, rather than a line drawing. This means it has no snap points and I have to constanstly change the viewing plane to match the cross members and draw a ridiculous amount of construction lines. Many, Many steps.

Are there any household chores that you secretly enjoy?

No, in fact I've found hairs on the damn bar left behind by my brother and if the bar of soap was "self-cleaning" it wouldn't be there would it?
