Writer's Block: Animal magnetism

What animal best represents your inner spirit? If you had to wake up as an animal, which one would you choose, and why? Are your two answers the same? Why or why not?

Submitted By [info]crazyprotein


View 1489 Answers


For both questions, my answer is a Red-Tailed Hawk. If I could wake up as an animal I would want to be something that flew. A wolf would come in second- being able to run for a long time would be fun. An orca or bottlenosed dolphin would be third because I would like to swim in the ocean. While I like horses, I wouldn't want to be one- the whole eyes on the side of my head would most likely drive me insane.

Which persons, living or dead, would you invite to a fantasy dinner party? What topics would you discuss? Are there any subjects would you avoid? Lastly, what kind of food would you serve?

View 741 Answers


Jim Henson, Richard Hunt, Gerard Parkes, Steve Whitmire, Dave Goelz, Karen Prell, Jerry Nelson, Kathryn Mullen, Frank Oz, Jerry Juhl, Philip Balsam, and Dennis Lee. We'd talk about life, The Muppets, Fraggle Rock, love, and peace. I can't think of any subjects we'd avoid. I'd serve everyone's favorite foods.

Writer's Block: Who will you be?

What are you going to be for Halloween this year? Are you going to wear coordinating costumes with a friend or partner? Did you buy something pre-fab or make it yourself?

Submitted By [info]crazyprotein


View 1030 Answers


I haven't finished making my gypsy costume this year due to hurting my back. If I don't get it finished I'll have to wear something from my box of costumes. I can be Deloris Umbridge, a Gryffindor student, a member of the Water tribe (Avatar: The Last Airbender), a witch, a sorceress, a medieval-ish peasant, and a working-class woman from the Dickens era.

Writer's Block: Seeing stars

Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why?

Submitted By [info]blue_mariposa88


View 2288 Answers


I can't pick just one. The 10th Doctor from Doctor Who, Timothy McGee from NCIS, Richard Castle from Castle, Jim Clancy from Ghost Whisperer, and Patrick Jane from The Mentalist for the television characters. Hoops from One Crazy Summer or Rick O'Connell from The Mummy for film characters. Darian from Mercedes Lackey's Owlflight for book characters or Vetch/Kiron from her Dragon Jouster series.

Mckey Mouse in the House

This was taken all of ten minutes ago. Look at how big he has gotten. He is still on the small side. He had a bath yesterday and his fur is so soft and sleek. He will be getting neutered as soon as I get my next paycheck. He was watching me shake his stuffed penguin when I took the photo.

Writer's Block: Close Call

Accidents happen all the time, and often we walk away miraculously uninjured. What has been your closest call with avoiding serious harm in an accident?


View 503 Answers

I'd have to say the time when I was five-years-old and decided to run in my grandparent's house. I tripped and fell face-first into the chimney harth. I ended up with a nice scar next to my right eye- a couple of hairs to the left and I would have most likely lost my right eye. I still have nightmares about people holding me down and sewing up the area next to my eye.

Writer's Block: Licensed to Drive

Should we just be handing over the car keys when kids turn 16? Why or why not?

Sponsored by Allstate. Learn more at allstate.com/STANDUP


View 500 Answers

No, people should only be allowed to drive when they have shown that they can drive safely and are mature about it. I am tired of all the idiots on the road who think they can pull out when there is not enough time/distance to do so, run red lights, speed, and do dangerous stunts like car surfing or ghost riding. They need a big crack down on dumb driving around here. Same thing for idiots on bicycles that don't wear helmets, ride against traffic, and wear dark colored clothing at night. I've also seen several pedestrians that need to have their walking rights taken away- playing Frogger with oncoming traffic, walking down the middle of the road and refusing to move to the side, and again, dark clothes at night.

Writer's Block: Philanthropy

Do you volunteer your time or donate money to any charitable organizations? Which ones, and why?


View 500 Answers

I volunteer with Girl Scouts, though this will be my last year. They keep changing the programs, making things more expensive, and I an starting to hate the other people that volunteer there. Juliet is turning in her grave because they are making a mockery of her ideas.

As soon as my financial issues get sorted, I'm donating to PBS because they need the money and I watch several of the shows they air.
