Non-Political Q&A with OI

[Ele'ill]

I like to get to know people. Sorry, it's an interest of mine. This is for the non-political side of things to detail the human beings behind the usernames. I will answer this as well at a later date to put myself on the spot along with everyone else. This thread might flop but at least I know the capitalists in OI will appreciate the venture.

The receptionist replied that it would be too much paperwork if he called from the reception phone and I had to call from a pay phone so I did and then waited with her until the ambulance came.

Pringles, or stuff from those "gourmet" fast food places like Johnny Rocket's, Five Guys, or I guess Sonic.

Coffee.

What's your favorite drink (non-alcoholic)?

Koalas~

What's your favorite weather?

Snow. I also like rain, but only when it's light or a total downpour.

Give a brief anecdote of a time when you fucked up at work (no personal details)

I answered a phone when I worked at Wendy's. I was sort of new there and didn't really grasp the fact that at Wendy's that I am a crew member which is very different from a human being in that one has dignity and one cannot carry out an action without having someone tell you to do it.

Have you ever been mugged?

Nope.

Have you ever been arrested (I don't know if this question is allowed or appropriate but I'd like to see everyone decide)?

Nope.

Do you have a childhood crush that you still think about- details?

I had crushes aaallll the time but there's one that stands out. She was a Chinese girl who sat behind me in one of my history classes. I'm pretty sure she was an immigrant and moved here when she was very young, but I'm not sure. When I met her, she was the best student in the school, and was nice beyond reason, especially to me. She had really, really long hair and seemed to be constantly smiling.

The next year she was completely different. Her hair was cut much shorter. She never smiled. Her grades were totally shot and I don't think she even graduated with us. She always seemed irritable, had pretty awful dark rings around her eyes like she never slept and, even though she never really talked all that much, hardly ever said a word anymore.

I saw her once that year, on the first day of one of my classes. She smiled at me and I even got her to laugh, but she dropped the class that day and I hardly saw her again after that.

Do you believe in karma?

I don't know about that but I believe that if you make the world a better place, then good things are more likely to happen to you, just because good things happen more in general.

A sad memory that chokes you up- get deep?


Probably remembering that girl I had a crush on. Either that or when one of my first ex's cheated on me.

Are you close with your parents?


Sort of. My dad seems to have trouble communicating anything at all without yelling at times, and my mom panics at every little thing. For that reason I spent most of my young life in my room with the door closed or out somewhere, if they'd let me out of the house.

It's actually still like that, more or less.

But other than that they really aren't bad at all. Even though we didn't always have a lot of money, they worked and still work pretty obscene hours and so we got to live well above our means while me and my brother really never had to work up until a year ago when I had to start getting work and giving them my entire paycheck. I don't mind it though.

They aren't so bad.

My manager at Wendy's got mad and hung up on me when I called him from the hospital saying I probably couldn't come in the next day.

How do you like to dress and why?


Black jeans and a button down shirt and a cap. I think I look like a slob without a collared shirt, jeans are prole as fuck, and I look an enforcer from the Irish mob with the cap on. The porkchop sideburns help

A random encounter with a stranger that made you feel good-


I'm drawing a blank here but I know there's a few I could put here!

Do/did you play a sport?

The biggest regret you're willing to admit to on the internet here is..? (no personal info)

Going to community college for two years then transferring to a 4 year school, I think. I just realized that I have no friends for nine months out of the year and haven't gotten a chance to experience the social aspect of college at all. And now I've got a year and a half left. I feel like I've wasted a huge amount of my life in my room.

Maybe that's not my biggest regret ever but that's the only thing I can think of now.

[Revolution starts with U]

Not the answers I expected out of you at all Best Mod. you seemed a totally different person.

[#FF0000]

Oh? How so?

And that's funny cause I was just gonna say that you sound a lot more hardcore than I expected and some of your answers make me feel like a big whiny baby for being sad about some of the things I am sad about.

[Revolution starts with U]

I thought you were far older (idk how old you are, but I kinda thot you were late middle aged :rolleyes:). Didn't see "mutton chops" either :D

So I roll down my window and act like I'm reconsidering the dent deal and when he does the same there's a colorful exchange.

Last Thursday at work - a customer wanted to do something that was against company policy and I explained that to them but they persisted so I told them to contact the management for approval and gave them the general manager's card (the manager wasn't in). They kept trying to convince me and I told them that I thought their request made sense but that I could not change the policy for them because I would be fired. Still they kept trying to argue with me and they were asking "don't you think this policy is ridiculous" and since I had already explained that I could not change the policy, I snapped at them and said it wasn't as ridiculous as not allowing all the homeless people outside to use the public restroom, not as ridiculous as the fact that the people who work here have not seen a raise in over 3 years and have had health coverage cut and staffing reduced to the point that everyone does twice as much work as we did a few years ago.

Well we ARE part of our own Community. You have to admit--we are a lot more interesting than the rest of RevLeft. Wen you guys have your Revolution thing will be fair--but they also will be dull. ;)

(Except for Comrade Man!) :D

[ComradeMan]

Just further goes to show you guys have no interest in being part of the community ;)

Why should we co-operate with those who have locked us up---

The pale and dismal daylight falls
Through iron bars on prison walls.
In chains we came from far and near,
And in dark cells they hold us here.

Some of these questions are unanswerable- are you allowed to leave blanks?

(Except for Comrade Man!) :D

Most of us non-oiers who post in OI actually post more in the main section. It just appears as though OI is the place to be because you're all so desperate for attention. I've been in OI frequently for about a month because I liked the thread trend- not so much right now. If you notice my post count jumped by about a thousand and it wasn't done in OI. ;)

[Revolution starts with U]

Nah, I find the action here a little more fast paced, and it's always more fun to argue against than to argue for. But both sections of the board (OI and the rest) are just as interesting.

"We" came out and extended our hand. You hid in your house and snubbed your noses at us. Bring out the brotherly love bud! :lol:

showing you want to be a member of the community could go far into your release, comrade.

Plus, if this were an industrial worker's union, and you were a farmer, I don't think it would "locking you up" to not allow you in forums where the purpose was for the benefit of industrial workers... maybe "locking you out" but not up.

Thanks- but I'm not falling for their bourgeois tactics!

Now- are you allowed to leave blanks in this quiz or not?

Not really, when I hit "send" with my answers (and juicier answers you've never seen), a paypal screen came up asking for my paypal account or visa number. I searched everywhere for a "Thanks, not at this time" button and never did find it.

I proved that I didn't belong in OI because I am not a capitalist nor a primitivist. In fact I never argued in favor of either- not once. I proved I could contribute to the main forum area without being ridiculous. I think that those OI people that posted in this thread have proven why they're here on this forum.

One question, so it still doesn't refute the notion that you're want to build a community is... lacking.

[ComradeMan]

One question, so it still doesn't refute the notion that you're want to build a community is... lacking.

This isn't a community- it never could be. The Trots and the Stalinists would see to that. :lol: Then the anarchists would start questioning everything down to the end... I told you before, we're a big dysfunctional family.

Anyway, I asked if I could leave blanks and was told I could do whatever I wanted....

[Bud Struggle]

One question, so it still doesn't refute the notion that you're want to build a community is... lacking.

I answered one question, too.

It's the Answer One Question community. :)

[Revolution starts with U]

You did. Your answer was that you really don't care to accept the community into your heart, you just don't want kicked out :cool:

[ComradeMan]

You did. Your answer was that you really don't care to accept the community into your heart, you just don't want kicked out :cool:

I don't want to get heavy and serious- but when I first came to RevLeft I asked politely for an Italian language forum- no reply. Then in OI I recently asked for an unfair infractions sticky in OI- thread closed "brusk" reply. Etc... etc... Now, there's no use dragging up old stuff- but people do realise when they are being patronised too- it's also called paternalism.

I am not willed:tt2:

[Revolution starts with U]

I'm no mod. But it seemed to me what got you restricted was far more in its tone than its content.

But perhaps you are being patronized. Not by Mar tho, she's no mod. She merely opened up her heart as a sense of community. You are the one who made it about your personal feelings about your restriction.

[ComradeMan]

I think each of those points you just brought up again have been addressed in great detail half a dozen times to you specifically. Once again I'll say that I think your behavior on the forum thus far is the main reason you're not getting what you want.

They haven't been answered at all. But for the record- here are some issues that I have:-

So for what reason is there no Italian language forum on RevLeft? There is one for Celtic languages, languages with far fewer speakers.
Perché non c'è un "forum" per l'Italiano qui a RevSinistra?:cool:
Why can't OI have a foreign language sticky/forum?
Why is there no unfair infractions sticky for OI-ers?
If no fascists are allowed in OI then perhaps OI-ers should be allowed to post in the fascist/troll alert section.

Those are some issues for OI, not group therapy sessions! If you'd done things in a democratic way and asked people want they wanted you would have received sensible replies and dialogue. But you posted this non-serious thread and now are getting weird because of non-serious answers :tt2:

Not sure, there probably should be if demand and bandwith support it. But is it that serious?

This is a blatant troll post. ;)

I did ask what people wanted as they came online- as can be seen in the Reactionary Chatter thread.

Bud thanked the quiz post and requested it sticky'd and I talked to Havet when they came on this morning.


The only person that ran around trolling was you.

I suggest you pm the request to an admin or mod because I feel that you are far too incompetent and untrustworthy to help. ;)

Why is it a troll post? It's relevant to the flow of the conversation- stop hitting the "troll" button all the time.

You know what happened to the boy who cried "troll" don't you?

feel that you are far too incompetent and untrustworthy to help- that's a friendly and productive, untrollish way to state things isn't it? Insults!!!

Gotta say these are all legitimate points, it's kind of shocking we don't have an Italian language sub forum as they are a country with a strong leftist tradition and in serious need of political activism. I don't see anything trollish about this post.

Yeah, I mean, with all the complaining about being 'trapped' in OI you all are doing absolutely nothing to warrant your 'release' or 'unrestriction'.

I was replying to Robert. Can I not reply to a snippy post with a snippy post?

What is it that you are really asking?

"Mari3L- why can't you roll over and let us belittle you whenever we want" ?

No, you can't.

Friends shooting the breeze but let's ignore all the instigatory sniping performed by those friends. :rolleyes:

Sounds like typical bullshit to me.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

Mari3L, I'd be interested to know what you think. I find this sort of thing more interesting with feedback, even if it's negative:

What is your age? (ballpark) Twenty-three years of age.

What's your astrological sign? Aries (western) Rabbit (Chinese)

What's your favorite junk food snack item? Kebab!

What's your favorite drink (the good stuff)? Cherry liquer

What's your favorite time of year? Summer.

What's your favorite weather? A toss-up between sunny blue skies and heavy snow.

Give a brief anecdote of a time when you fucked up at work (no personal details) I once wasted an entire morning entering customer details into a computer system - except that it turned out I hadn't been saving my work! D'oh!

Have you ever been mugged? Yes, and it was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. Thankfully I only lost a pack of cigarettes, but still some deep reptilian part of my brain wishes I could have torn them to pieces. Worthless vultures.

Have you ever been arrested (I don't know if this question is allowed or appropriate but I'd like to see everyone decide)? No, I'm very good at staying out of sight of the law.

Your favorite vacation was....? Already answered.

Do you have a childhood crush that you still think about- details? I sometimes think about a couple of boys I met before I fully realised I was bisexual.

Do you believe in karma? Nope. Life isn't fair - we have to make it so.

A sad memory that chokes you up- get deep? I don't have any.

Are you close with your parents? Not really. I've no idea where my dad is and my mum lives in a neighbouring country, although I get along with her (she moved to where the job was).

Favorite song- post the first you thought of-

2zAZFsuMwp8

Favorite movie- the one you could watch twice in a day- I don't think I could watch any movie twice in a day without getting seriously bored, but one movie I will always watch if it's on is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Your favorite car? (:rolleyes:)

The Conquest Vehicles Knight XV (http://conquestvehicles.com/knight-xv.html) - although I'm not sure if it's a car so much as an armoured personnel carrier.

http://www.gearlog.com/Conquest_Vehicles_Knight_XV_1.jpg

How do you like to dress and why? Steel-toed boots, combat trousers, t-shirts, and a fleece if it's cold. Comfortable, practical, and hard-wearing clothing for people who don't give a shit about what's fashionable.

A random encounter with a stranger that made you feel good- Having a chat with some guy fishing on the canal.

Do/did you play a sport? Never, apart from the occasional kickabout with a ball.

Favorite sports team? None.

The last insect you saw? A small fly buzzing past my monitor. I killed it.

Do you have a favorite local bird you encounter often? (not a female, I mean the winged animal) I often see magpies out of my living room window. They would be even more awesome if they could eat pigeons (AKA flying rats).

What actor/actress are you most attracted to? Jaye Davidson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001109/) is the only person I've seen on screen who actually made my heart skip a beat.

When was the last time you were in a verbal altercation with a stranger? (give details if you want) It's really minor, but late this summer I was given a snotty comment by some old lady, apparently for reading the covers of the newspapers in the supermarket without buying one. I just chuckled and smiled at her (well, I bared my teeth at least) and wandered off without saying a word.

Your favorite time of day? Midday, when the sun is high and bright.

Do you like flying in airplanes? I've never done that, actually. I certainly would if given the opportunity.

How many different States of America have you been in? I've never visited the US.

How many different countries have you been in? England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Spain (briefly).

The biggest regret you're willing to admit to on the internet here is..? (no personal info) Not studying harder in school.

[Revolution starts with U]

Divided we fall, Bud. Come, join the light side :cool:

[Ele'ill]

NoXion- we have a bit in common

I smoke about 1 pack a week I like Dawn but I also like what I consider to be that infinite day feeling during noon time where it's extremely bright and everything. I don't know if this is the reality of you liking spiders but I can totally understand your connection with something meticulously creating a web structure- in reference to technocracy of course.

You mentioned the good the bad and the ugly- Have you read 'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King? It's one of my favorite series of all times (I'll explain the relation if you say no)

[Jazzratt]

Mari3L will you please cut it out? It's not you but it is certainly your tone that we object to. You are like a school teacher with an unruly class. "You should act this way, you whouldn't do this, you should do that." Enough already--with the "advice."

You are horning in on a bunch of friends shooting the breeze--you are welcome to hang out with us. But you aren't one of us--if you get my meaning. You are eith OI of you are not--and you've graduated. This is just stupid. Opposing Ideologies is, and always has been, a forum that exists very much through the (limited) magnanimity of this forum's membership. Sometimes I feel it might be worth going back to the old format of a constantly combative atmosphere with no threads like this and no reactionary chatter. It'd result in a much more transient restricted membership but we wouldn't have this strange belief that OI is somehow "your" forum.

----------

What is your age? (ballpark)
22
What's your astrological sign?
Aries. The paper usually gets the predictions hilariously wrong, which is quite an achievement given that the entire point is to have those things apply as broadly to as many people as possible.

Pork scratchings.
Coffee, tea or energy drink?
Tea when I'm in, coffee when I'm out and energy drinks when I'm hungover.
Do you use tobacco? How much?

Water, specifically my local tap water followed closely by Edinburgh tap water.
What's your favorite drink (the good stuff)?
Ale. Currently it's Bombardier or Harveys Old Ale.
What's your favorite meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner)?
Breakfast: Fry up.
Lunch: Steak & Ale Pie.
Dinner: Some kind of curry, partial to a mutton ceylon.
What's your favorite animal?
Bear? I don't really have one, but bears are pretty cool.
What's your favorite natural environment?
Somewhere warm and arboreal I think. Rainforests, jungles that kind of thing.
What was your favorite vacation?
Visiting my sister in Amsterdam last winter.
What's your favorite time of year?
Summer.
What's your favorite weather?
Warm when I'm outside. Cold and bitter when I'm inside. Either that or misty/foggy weather.
Give a brief anecdote of a time when you fucked up at work (no personal details)
I once smashed up a customer's purchase by kicking it in with my boots and hitting it with a hammer.
Have you ever been mugged?
No.
Have you ever been arrested (I don't know if this question is allowed or appropriate but I'd like to see everyone decide)?
No. I've been (incompetently) searched for drugs once and went to court over a squat I was staying in briefly.
Your favorite vacation was....?
Memory test? I did enjoy Amsterdam though. Very fun in winter.
Do you have a childhood crush that you still think about- details?
I dunno. No, unless 16/17 counts as "childhood".
Do you believe in karma?
No. I think that if it really existed the world would be far more depressing.
A sad memory that chokes you up- get deep?
Nothing important. I choke up over silly little things.
Are you close with your parents?
Not really. Makes living in their home awkward.
Favorite song- post the first you thought of-
God Module - Sections. It changes all the time though.
Favorite movie- the one you could watch twice in a day-
Withnail & I.
Your favorite car? (:rolleyes:)
Cars aren't my thing.
How do you like to dress and why?
Jeans, t-shirt, shirt worn open over the t-shirt and a leather jacket. I just do.
A random encounter with a stranger that made you feel good-
I met a guy on a train. Not very interesting but when you're pissed and alone on a long journey home the company is quite welcome. Remember that next time a drunk hassles you on a train :p
Do/did you play a sport?
No. I can shoot hoops and have a kick about but that doesn't really count.
Favorite sports team?
Chelsea FC.
The last insect you saw?
Who cares?
Do you have a favorite local bird you encounter often? (not a female, I mean the winged animal)
The local birds here are seagulls. Who the fuck wants them around?
What actor/actress are you most attracted to?
No idea.
When was the last time you were in a verbal altercation with a stranger? (give details if you want)
A total stranger? Probably just after a beer festival. Things escalated and I ended up, as the the song would have it, "going home in a fucking ambulance."
Your favorite time of day?
Noon - early afternoon.
Do you like flying in airplanes?
I don't mind it. The beginning and end are slightly uncomfortable and I do sometimes get airsick but it's better than travelling in a coach.
How many different States of America have you been in?
1
How many different countries have you been in?
14. -/+ 2
The biggest regret you're willing to admit to on the internet here is..? (no personal info)
Not completing my education to any reasonable degree.

[Bud Struggle]

It'd result in a much more transient restricted membership but we wouldn't have this strange belief that OI is somehow "your" forum.

.

I never said anything about the Forum or Reactionary Chat. It belongs to RevLeft no to anyone in OI, but that was not my point. It was completely personal. A couple of us guys got to be friends because of being OI. Nothing more.

[Manic Impressive]

Favorite movie- the one you could watch twice in a day-
Withnail & I.

Haha I could see you and Noxion as Withnail & I just less posh :D

[Ele'ill]

I'm glad I'm not alone with the education thing.

NoXion- we have a bit in common

I smoke about 1 pack a week I like Dawn but I also like what I consider to be that infinite day feeling during noon time where it's extremely bright and everything. I don't know if this is the reality of you liking spiders but I can totally understand your connection with something meticulously creating a web structure- in reference to technocracy of course.

That's an interesting way of looking at spiders - I was thinking more along the lines of jumping spiders with their absolutely adorable large eyes:

http://www.en-derin.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/86bcb_eye-macros-jumping-spider3.jpg

I find the strangest things attractive. Sorry Jazzratt, but I had to.


You mentioned the good the bad and the ugly- Have you read 'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King? It's one of my favorite series of all times (I'll explain the relation if you say no)

Haven't read them, what's the connection? I thought those books were some kind of fantasy genre...

[Ele'ill]

I've been bitten by those little jumping spiders before- I think they're one of the few spiders of that size that can penetrate human skin.

The Dark Tower series is sci-fi/modern day type of series- it's heavily influenced by western movies and the main character is a gunslinger- Roland Deschain and is modeled after Clint Eastwood albeit cleverly. It's unlike any of Stephen King's other books and I highly recommend it.

[Jazzratt]

I managed to skip over the picture, but fuck you NoXion. We have fucking spoiler tags for a reason arsehole.

A random encounter with a stranger that made you feel good-: met a French bloke after a course on gambling required for bar work (not a gambler, but we need to be able to pick them out and know what to do with them if they get serious), talked for a little while, he was nice. He did the course too, he's here for a few weeks and has been travelling around the world doing work. Made me feel good even though I couldn't understand his accent sometimes

He's not a capitalist- he just thinks he is, or he is a damn good double-agent!!! He's actually a pretty decent guy, and most of the time I think people don't realise he's being ironic.

I'm not saying Saint Bud here... but the irony is definitely lost on a lot here at times.

ME? I take the world as I find it and change it to suit my purposes. Feel free to do that for yourself. The problem with Communists is that you think there are some anal retentive RULES in the world. There aren't. There are no rules--you can do whatever you want if you can get away with it. (I'm not saying this is a good thing,) but you can be a Capitalist make a billion bucks and the world will kiss you ass.

Want to be a Communist--make it work and that's great--if you can't you will be called a Totaloitarian. It's all about what power you want to grab. Nothing is fair unless you personally make it that way. And then it's just you making the rules.

[Revolution starts with U]

No, he's a capitalist. He supports individual autrocracy (tho tempered, cuz he's a liberal) of the marketplace. He's just a communist sympathizer; he probably relates better with us than with Tea Partiers.
As a capitalist, he should appreciate a little good natured competition of ideas :thumbup1:

I was working at a supermarket, sorting out some bottles of expired milk into a big box. My boss literally ran towards the box, his head turned back, chatting with some guy. It came as it had to come, he flew over the box (again literally), landed on his belly and wasn't too happy afterwards.

[Thirsty Crow]

Which A-team character would you be? What? You mean Team America? If so, I wouldn't be a part of it.

Which is your favourite Godfather Film I,II,III? Terribly overrated movies.

Playstation or WII? Playstation.

Pizza or pasta? It depends on the occasion, but probably pasta

Do you like Westerns? Absolutely despise them.

Which famous artist would you be? Rimbaud (though I wouldn't engage in arms sale) or Picasso or Majakovskij. Or maybe the greatest Croatian writer - Miroslav Krleža.

What school of art do you prefer? School? Well, I prefer literature, and within this field, I prefer modernist writings, especially ones with a social edge; expressionist poetry is dear to me, as well as certain proponents of Romanticism (Shelley!); I also adore the Latin American magical realism, especially Gabriel Garcia Marquez. As far as classical music is concerned, I mostly enjoy the form of string quartets; but experimentators like Schoenberg and Berg are great

If you could go back to any decade in the 20th century which one would it be? The 30s, Spain.

Which do you prefer Marvel of DC? I dislike comics. Actually, the only one that I enjoyed was "V for Vendetta"

A sad memory that chokes you up- get deep? The death of my great grandfather, a veteran of World War II in the pacific and the Korean war. I was 8 when he died from a cancerous brain tumor. He was a kind old man and always treated my brother and I well. One of my saddest memories was when his Alzheimer's took his memories of me. I'll never forget the day a few months before his death when I visited him at his house, gave him a hug and he looked down at me, eyebrow raised, and asked, "Who are you, son?"

A random encounter with a stranger that made you feel good- Random person riding past in a car leaned out the window and rose a fist in solidarity upon seeing my Communist shirt. The good mojo dissipated 45 seconds later when I got a nasty stare from a woman filling up her minivan with a big "TAKE AMERICA BACK, ILLINOIS TEA PARTY" bumper sticker. Shouted "Viva Revolucion de la Mundo", bringing the good mojo back.

Do/did you play a sport? I would, if Dodgeball were more popular. As far as unorthodox sports go, I'm on an airsoft team.

Favorite sports team? None.

The last insect you saw? A bumble bee. I like bumble bees. But fuck wasps. Assholes.

Do you have a favorite local bird you encounter often? Sparrows. Their orange-breasts indicate that things are warming up and that spring is coming.

What actor/actress are you most attracted to? None in particular. They're all too skinny.

When was the last time you were in a verbal altercation with a stranger? I would say with that TEA party lady at the gas station, but she never replied. I'm usually respectful enough to avoid such things. Usually.

Your favorite time of day? Mid day.

Do you like flying in airplanes? No, the pressure and noise combine to give me a horrible headache. I've tried all the tricks.

How many different States of America have you been in? Let me count this shit...14, all centered in the center-east portion of the country, as far north as Wisconsin all the way down to Florida and Texas and most of the states in between the two. I also went to California briefly.

Have you read 'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King? It's one of my favorite series of all times (I'll explain the relation if you say no)

It's just awesome, no wonder he is the best selling novel author in the world. Volves of the Calla is my favorite book in the series. King is my favorite author, of the 20 or so of his books I've read the best one imo is perhaps Hearts in Atlantis, or the Stand. But they are all brilliant.

The new quite political one Under the Dome where the rulers of a small town represent Bush and Cheney is also interesting. I wonder if most americans know he's left of the centre politically.

His son is even called Joe Hill King. :)

[Milk Sheikh]

One thing has become clear after browsing a little of this thread: revlefters have tooooooo much time on their hands.;)

[Ele'ill]

I find the answers to the 'favorite time of day' question to be interesting. I don't like sunsets unless it's snowy out but I still get a bit of anxiety even then. My favorite time of day is dawn and my favorite time to write is from midnight to eight or nine in the morning. The most productive writing sessions I've had have been when I got sleep the day or 'night' before and then woke up to write- the all nighters used to be fun but they don't really produce anything of worth.

[Sentinel]

One thing has become clear after browsing a little of this thread: revlefters have tooooooo much time on their hands.

You probably weren't, but if you were referring to my reading of 20 Stephen King books, it's been over a period of 10 years. :blushing:

Shouldn't this thread be moved over to Chit Chat. It seems only the regular RevLeftarians are interested. :)

Laughable, considering you're the one that wanted a more 'chit chat' environment and then thanked the OP- and then were the first to post and that post was asking for a sticky. :rolleyes:


Good thing it's here for future OI users and not unthankful crybabies.


Wow this post is violent. Sorry, lots of coffee.

Yeah, I'm not sure why that post turned like it did- unintentional wording and such.
