How About a Question Thread?

for better or worse, non-violent is not me...I was very much into the whole "turn the other cheek" thing as a pre-teen and early teenager. Very pacifist, even to the point of allowing myself to be hit without hitting back. One day in sixth (hmm, might have been seventh) grade I got ganged up on by four jerks and I just went totally the other direction. Just went after one of the four and made sure he looked as bad as me. It worked, they left me alone after that.

I am much better at controlling myself now though....have not been in a fight in ages and have not started one in many, many years...my temper is very controlled now, but still legendary among the few friends I have kept since the "bad old days"...

I learned the opposite lesson rather younger. I let slip my temper in a bad moment and ended with rather serious consequences. Since that day, I have never struck anyone in anger - with the exception of my brother who has always found it amusing to torment me.

  • why won't the words come today like they did the last couple of days?
  • why does my child feel the need to turn on every damn light in the house?
  • why does my husband think he's smarter than me when he's still convinced that carbon is man-made?
  • why hasn't the person who came up with teletubbies been shot, and put out of our misery?

*grin* I don't mind who wins - I just pray it goes the distance. Then there's the fun of rewarding the winner and consoling the loser. And confessing to Yui that I can't cover her $500 winning and she'll have to take it out of my hide.

I admire being able to follow a pacifistic creed...I just am not there, even now...but it would take some rather extreme provocation to get me to strike someone at this point in my life. Thing is, I also would be likely to make sure I never had to deal with such threats from that person in the future...my greatest fear would be that I do know I am capable of actually injuring someone seriously in this mode. I have been lucky to have had friends there to pull me away on the rare times I have really lost it.

I will also admit to being a little old school in this area...I have never struck a woman and do not feel I could do so. Even in self defense I have never done more than hold her at arms length and try to avoid kicks...one ex-fiancee managed to bruise me up pretty bad a few times and even send me for stitches once...

sounds like good clean dirty fun to me...I might get pinned while laughing, especially if they find my ticklish spots...

if you find the answer to number one, share it, ok?

your child, my wife...

because it would take intelligence and self-awareness to realize the truth...

he's hiding out in The Wiggles garage...


night Yui, night Shang....

I want to add that I have rage disorder. It' s actually called generalized anxiety disorder manifesting in rage out bursts. But I like the other better. Quite literally I go red and break things and kill picture frames with my bare hands. I can take all comers bring it on!
 
Bel is so sexy when he gets all primitive. He also answered, but did not ask, any questions, thereby breaking the rules of my thread. I must come up with a suitable punishment.

I am a pacifist. I always have been. If there were ever a draft, I would have to try getting CO status. In my adult life only one person can push my buttons enough to make me want to hit him. I have hit my brother, but I was a kid, and it probably didn't hurt him. He laughed at me, anyway.

Questions for the morning:

  • Why can't I sleep more than 6 hours anymore?
  • Why do I wait to go the bathroom until it hurts?
  • Why doesn't my boyfriend ever turn on the heat when he leaves the house?

I too have a question:

Why are you such a whining queen?

because I can pull it off. Why are you so smart, sexy and far away?

I'll be dangerously close next week. A mere stones throw. Or two days' drive.

How do know where I live? :eek:
Are you stalking me?
If the answer is no, then why not?

Not a question: I :heart: Joe.
 
By the way, when I said this thread has rules I was lying. Or at least, I will make them up abitrarily and enforce them when I can get something out of it. "cause that's just the kind of person I am.
 
*How long until my hair is completely gray?

*Should I repaint my fingernails or take the polish off?

*When will the temperature go over 50 degrees?

*Is saying "I love you" making a promise that it will last forever?

How is it you know all the Teletubbies? hmm?
