Question game

[JackOfHearts]

Hrm.... tough call. I'm going to say someone of the pacific island persuasion who is skilled at making canoes and/or rafts from various things likely to be found on a deserted island. Preferably a lady.

Are you able to move freely about your house when it's pitch dark (say in the middle of the night, or during a blackout)?

[Fencergrl]

Yes... I do it all the time as my eyes are light sensitive and I have exceptional night vision.

Do you have 20 /20 vision?

[JackOfHearts]

With my glasses I do.

What is your opinion on contact lenses?

[Fencergrl]

I'm not a good person to ask as I still have 20/20 vision (much to disgust of my doctor who needed glasses long before she reached my age).

Can you name all Santa's reindeers?

[Squall_Leonhart]

yes. Dancer, prancer, donner, vixen, ponder, yonder, snowball, balderdash, Dasher, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen, and rudolph.

Where do all the lonely people go?

[JackOfHearts]

Someplace of solitude, I would assume. Though if they all went to the same place, would they still be lonely? Misery loves company afterall...

[Go? Fencing?]

Yes. It perfectly possible to be lonely in the middle of a crowd. Just as it's possible to be homesick when you're sitting in your house. *sigh*

What's home, for you?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Well, it used to be my folks' place, but they moved this summer... worst part is, they sold the house to a real putz. Very upsetting, seeing the place you grew up sold...

So, I guess home is, uh... where I live now.

Do you like reading books or watching movies more?

[Go? Fencing?]

I do enjoy both, but I prefer books because you can dream yourself into them and the story is all in your imagination. With movies, you're seeing what was in the director's imagination.

Favourite children's story?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Hmm... either Leo the Lop or The Value of Believing in Yourself.

Have you read either of them?

EDIT: Forgot that there was "The Value of" at the beginning of the title...

[Go? Fencing?]

I have read Leo the Lop. That's a nice one.

Do you like The Velveteen Rabbit?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Was that the one where the kid had scarlet fever?

[Go? Fencing?]

Yeah. I actually had two versions of the book, an audio tape of it, and the Rabbit himself.

When you were a kid, did you ever think that your toys came to life when you weren't looking?

[ThatReallyHurt]

No, but I didn't take all that much cough medicine.

Most of the stuff I had when I was a kid were things like electronics kits, microscopes, and chemistry sets. Let me tell you - look at a dust mite at 100X and you pray it doesn't come to life when you're not looking...

What was your favourite toy when you were a kid?

[Go? Fencing?]

We had this set of marble racer things. The kind you build up with the different plastic ramps and fancy things.

Do you like marbles?

[ThatReallyHurt]

I like looking at some of the fancy ones... and putting them on a penlight and shining light through them. Pretty patterns, and some of them cast really cool patterns on the walls in a dark room.

Do you know how to play dominoes?

[JackOfHearts]

It's been awhile, but I think I remember how it goes. Though I prefer Chess.

What's your favorite old cartoon?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Gee, I can watch reruns of The Tick all day.

Is that old enough, or were you thinking older?

[JackOfHearts]

I was thinking older yea.

So anything older then The Tick that you like?

[Go? Fencing?]

Good enough for me. I'm a Rocky and Bullwinkle fan myself. But that shouldn't surprise you, eh?
