The Saturday 6-Pack

djchameleon · 02-17-2017, 01:27 PM

Being a procrastinator I will finally do this today.

Have you ever been in a car accident?
Yes, I actually dozed off behind the wheel and veered into the back of some hatchback and woke up with my car actually facing it like it spun around.

What are the three best things about you?
My ability to adapt to change, being blunt, the fact that I'm a love-able asshole.

What is your best and worst memory from High School.
Best= None that I can think of.
Worst= Having to switch high schools in 9th grade to a new city so I ended up not being able to graduate with my childhood friends and generally not liking my graduating class in the new city.

What is your favorite childhood book?
The Phantom Tollbooth

If you could shop for free at one store. What store would it be?
Amazon.com obviously. If it has to be brick and mortar, Target.

What is an album you love that you're certain very few people have heard?
ABN - It Is What It Is

Have you ever been in a car accident?
No, fortunately.

What are the three best things about you?
Loyal, loving, and I have great rhythm

What is your best and worst memory from High School.
Best: Being in a band, playing the big piano in the auditorium during free periods, and when my best friend secretly submitted a poem written by me to the school’s literary journal and it was published on the first page
Worst: Going to a ‘specialized’ math and science oriented high school when I wasn’t the least bit math and science inclined (just to avoid the rough local high school). Most students there were super-smart and I just didn’t fit in academically and felt inadequate the whole time I was there.

What is your favorite childhood book?
So many. Winnie-the-Pooh, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, The Lonely Doll book series and the My Book House series. And How To Make Flibbers, Etc.

If you could shop for free at one store. What store would it be?
Amazon.com

What is an album you love that you're certain very few people have heard?
While there are many albums I love that very few people (i.e., the general public) have heard, I honestly can’t think of any album I love that very few MB’ers have heard. Which says a lot for MB’ers.

Chiomara · 02-25-2017, 09:32 PM

What words or phrases do you overuse, if any?
Probably 'languorous', as it's my favorite word. And in real-life I'm even more hyperbolic so I overuse phrases like "I hate this ____ with the fire of a thousand suns!" etc.

What qualities do you like best in another person?
Intelligence, by far (note, this doesn't necessarily mean book smarts per se, though intellectual curiosity is a plus), general eccentricity, a loopy sense of humor, and kindness.

What sound(s) do you love the most?
THUNDERSTORMS!!! And a purring cat. And cicadas in the summer.

What is or would be the most annoying thing about living with you?
Probably my background music, because I constantly switch between wildly different genres, sometimes before a song has even finished playing. Also I sometimes have 3 am baking sprees/do other odd things at 3 am when I can't sleep, which is fairly often. I also tend to drag people outside at night to look at the moon/a frog/whatever else, which they typically do not find very exciting.

What is or would be the best thing about living with you?
Well, I try to be a very considerate person, and am quiet as a mouse usually. I also always try to bring people tea and cookies/snacks if they're having a bad day.

What was your favorite toy (or toys) as a child?
A Sony camcorder. I used that thing constantly-- making little documentaries and stop-motion soap operas starring household objects and my Scully barbie doll (she had a buzzcut because she had a nervous breakdown and decided to become a spaceship mechanic). As for normal toys.. I don't know; I played with anything and everything. .OH! I faintly recall playing with this one particular tree (I named it Ricardo) in the yard a lot, but.. I pretended it was a magic oven that could cook things..? I don't even know.

DwnWthVwls · 02-25-2017, 09:51 PM

What words or phrases do you overuse, if any?
-I say nice way too much I think. Like if someone is telling me a story or if I approve of something they are telling me about it's always "nice".. I can't stop.

What qualities do you like best in another person?
-In general: consideration for others, manners, patience, and positivity

-Personality
Women: sarcasm and sas
Men: not acting macho and humor

-Physically
Women: long messy hair, beautiful eyes, glasses, tattoos, and piercings.. o and boobs, id be lying if i didnt include them.

What sound(s) do you love the most?
-Ambient sleepy sounds, ASMR stuff, and nature

What is or would be the most annoying thing about living with you?
-I like things neat and clean

What is or would be the best thing about living with you?
-I like things neat and clean and you'll probably never see me if you're not my significant other

What was your favorite toy (or toys) as a child?
Zap Police Power Force.. these things were sick. They have ton of movable, removable, and interchangable parts and are really well built.

and they are big:

Tristan_Geoff · 02-25-2017, 10:33 PM

What words or phrases do you overuse, if any?

Too many. I'll have words/phrases I cycle through every week or so. None specific come to mind but I'll also go through certain phrases I right often too.

What qualities do you like best in another person?

Understanding, in tune with emotions, loyalty, humor, accepting, and unconditionally loving.

What sound(s) do you love the most?

The wind through the trees, the buzzing of cars passing by while walking down a mostly quiet road. Water quietly flowing. Sentimental **** like that.

What is or would be the most annoying thing about living with you?

Where to start? Lazy, messy, procrastiner, all that.

What is or would be the best thing about living with you?

I'd quiet, agreeable, and full of love to share. Oh and I have a great music selection, but that could be annoying depending who I'm living with I suppose.

What was your favorite toy (or toys) as a child?

Legos, little toy frogs, and Thomas trains were among my favorites.

ChioLucia, this “Ricardo” you speak of, it wasn’t by chance a monkey puzzle tree, was it?

What have you done with me monkey puzzle tree?!! Hang it all, Madam!! Blasted women! Always make trouble when you allow one aboard.

Oh, PIPE DOWN, Captain Gregg!

And now, you’ll never be ‘languorous’ again. Come, Lucia. Come, m’dear.

oh dear.. I cannot resist impromptu Ghost & Mrs Muir reenactments.. a thousand points for you!

Why, now that I think of it--yes, yes it was! I wanted to plant a bed of roses in its place.
And, Captain Gregg, if you insist on haunting me... you might at least be more agreeable about it!

ribbons · 02-26-2017, 12:38 AM

I HATE roses!! I hope the whole blasted bed dies of blight!

I wish you wouldn't swear. It's so ugly.

If you think that's ugly...it's a good thing you can't read me thoughts.

Chiomara · 02-26-2017, 12:45 AM

Practically every line is a gem-- oh, especially the train scene, when he's sulking and glowering and carrying on about her suitor!
