Love the guys with long hair although from an age on they might look ridiculous. But a good guy is a good guy no matter how long his hair is. Matter of fact I adore a folk song with the chorus: It doesn't matter the length of my hair, It's important how much and how I think ( hint to the communist regime that almost forbid men's long hair).

As for women, they may wear the length that suites them.
Have you ever been courted by a person of your gender? :devil:
It's amazing how perception of a male changes with the length of their hair often. I've had people tell me I looked much "nicer" when I cut my hair from fairly long. Not better, but nicer as in less likely to be mean. But I've had hair from almost non existent to about half way down my back at times, and the difference in the way people act is amazing.
As for the question, I once got cat called by some guys in a car when I had my really long hair. Does that count? :laugh:
Do you ever catch yourself applying stereotypes to people, even though you realize they are just stereotypes?
Only when I`m angry ( meaning most of the time :p ) . So a boss will always be an ox, a gypsy will always be a ”*****”gypsy ( racist, I know....), a girl that my love interest would like is a whore, a guy who does nothing at work is a "pulifrici" ( gross, I know...) etc. I”m also the subject of such epithets but I don”t mind. The good part is that I use these but don`t believe what I say. My coworkers are very mean about such things and I always fight with them on such issues. I live in a very judgemental society and it`s not very easy to cope with it.
What`s the last thing you do before going to bed?
drink water and/or pee.
Do you like very soft beds and pillows? (I found American beds/pillows too soft for my liking - I guess its what you are used to)
Lol. In indian tv series I saw people sleeping directly on the floor so I might understand what you mean ( loved one where a newly wed couple slept on the floor on each side of a king size empty bed :p). Matter of fact I dislike the soft ones. These days it`s almost impossible to find a hard pillow and I miss the old good old pillows from my mum`s dowry. I wake up with terrible neck aches because of this. This weekend I bought an anatomical one and I felt a bit better.
Are there mosquitos bothering you where you live?
tv series isn't real life!! :p:
Yeah they usually bother us like hell after the winter till the end of monsoons....this year there aren't any around since the start of monsoon and even now when it has ended and our winter is about to begin- now I may have jinxed it.
I hate mosquitos :mad:
Have you ever been in a snow blizzard?
Almost every year. Winters are quite tough sometimes.
What do you think it's the worst thing about you?
I can be quite direct with people who annoy me. i.e. any of my clients/students/trainees... who don't smell fresh when they arrive in my office/classroom will be told quite bluntly that they smell like a camel has peed in their armpits.... that kind of thing.
What sort of people really annoy/offend you?
Bossy, arrogant and rude.
What's the nicest thing somebody ever said about you?
They told me I was a nice guy that everyone liked. (Don't know if it was true, but it was nice to hear)
Same Question
When I was a student a young professor ( that I secretly liked) told me I'm well trained and I could be welcomed with open arms in any IT center of the country. Who knew on that time that I'd screw my career?.......
What's the worst thing that was ever said about you?
The worst probably hasn't been said yet, but I'm sure its coming sometime fairly soon. I'll no doubt deserve it too. :p
What is your favorite snack food?
a mix of cashews, macadamias and crystalised pineapple MMMmmmmm
whats for dinner tonight?

Also forgot a burnt sugar cream and I'll sacrifice myself. Calories bombs, I know.....:sQuote:

(Honesty required!)
I think you are a normal person that is going through a tough time (for all the right reasons) lately, and that you tend to be very hard on yourself. You seem to have a good sense of humor and are obviously very tolerant, otherwise you probably wouldn't hang around this place. :)Quote:

Yes. Very. Because I have a morbid sense of guilt and always feel I annoy people around me. I'm petrified whenever someone complains about what I do or say, although I fight hard to don't show it. So dear friends or unfriends from the forum, forgive me if sometimes I say something that sounds wrong to you. I know I have my moments when I talk like a shrew but it's not my intention to hurt anybody. :angel:
Do you always answer honestly to the questions of this thread?
Yes. Now, am I being honest saying that? :confused: I think basically I do answer honestly, maybe with a little exaggeration for effect sometimes.
Are you wary of answering honestly sometimes.
No, simply because no one on this forum, knows who we all are in real life, so even if we were introduced in a pub in the real world, we still wouldn't know who we all are. Plus I have nothing to hide and am not easily embarrassed.
Yah just got paid and am shortly off to get my new guitar :) (not a question, but sharing is caring)
Question: Growing up were you encouraged to be yourself and to develop as a unique item, or were you encouraged to conform?
andfield what guitar are you getting? you have a telescope (which you did not answer a question I asked :( ) and you play guitar...we could be long lost brothers!
here, everybody is encouraged, hell driven to conform... hence my intense dislike of the "society" I live in.
Are you good with a car/bike? I mean can you do some running repairs or basic stuff to your vehicle?
I'd let somebody else to answer this but I want to thank Storm for posting a lot around 7.00 (my local time) and helping me to get to work on time. I couldn't wake up this morning but then I got so many phone notifications of his posts that I decided to leave the bed. :laugh:
:D
In short no. I can put petrol, oil and water in it and change the plugs etc, bit other than that nothing ;(
Do you prefer a sunny day with a strong wind, or a rainy day with no wind?
Sunny day with strong wind is wonderful. We had one here in the UK last week, gales and sun. Fantastic. Blows all the cob webs away.
How many miles/KM would you travel for a hobby? I mean I travelled 80 miles round trip last weekend for a 5 minute sighting of a steam special.
Is going to a music gig okay? If yes, then I travelled 900kms one way just to see Iron Maiden's first ever Indian gig in Bangalore, back in 2007. A lot of money spent on flight + tickets but well worth it.
(So any photos of the steam?)
Also a few years ago when I was hiking/trekking a bit, I regularly went 100+kms to climb/hike up forts in our region.
Do you own any thing just because many others also have it rather than you really needing it? (just reading the mobile phone thread and the people I know often buy Apple stuff for this reason it seems)
only clothes. No I tend not to follow others, I honestly dont care if other people like what I like etc, so I tend to buy things I want to buy - probably why I am bitter and friendless :)
What have you bought that you have instantly regretted buying?
Just for Storm.Quote:

On top of that an incredibly pretty young lady who works in my local coffee shop (I had the guitar with me heading back to work from the music shop) said that she would love to learn how to play the guitar..... 1st lesson is tomorrow afternoon :) ahhh life is kind sometimes.
how often do you make up your mind to do something new, then chicken out?
Nice.Quote:

Still a great job.
I am keen to try out new things usually...its when I make up my mind to do some healthy things regularly (which I did before) is when I seem to have trouble following it up.Quote:

Do you work out at a gym or get any regular exercize (steve is a footballer so he doesn't have a problem keeping fit)
I do need a tripod :)
I try to stay in shape via some biking and such, but lately I've been lazy and making too many excuses. I do stay on my feet and do some physical work in my job, and I actually like that aspect. Most of my heavy duty "work out" days are over, as I'm paying the price for abusing my body for many years. Most likely I have back and shoulder operations in my future.Quote:

No. I'm too stupid for such things.
What's the closest shop to your house?
What we call a 'corner shop'. Sells newspapers , sweets, a variety of groceries, beer, wine & spirits.
Do you think the supermarkets are killing the small family-run shops?
In my country yes. I think Romanians aren't good for trade, they prefer to sell a small amount of products with a high profit instead of selling much with a lower gain and don't know to attract customers. I buy mostly from hypermarkets where I can find anything from furniture to bread at the lowest price, sometimes from supermarkets where is still possible to find some good prices and almost never from small shops where they take even my skin.
Do you enjoy taking part at family events like weddings, christenings, anniversaries, etc.?
Sometimes, but they can be tiresome, luckily though in NZ there is only my immediate family, so we don't have to go to Great Aunt Bertha's second annual divorce party etc. Meaning the family occasions we do have are a bit more meaningful.
It's Monday morning (and only 7 more of them left before Christmas break). What are your plans for the week?
Party all the time. :p
Why are the Word Games dying these days?
Maybe people have been busy lately.
Did you watch any good movie recently?
Unfortunately I had to miss "The week of Cannes movies" and "The week of german movies" at my fav cinema. I don't have the patience to watch movies on tv ( I fall asleep anyway ) and I dislike to download movies from internet even if I have a smart tv. Good movies should be watched at a cinema hall not at home in dressing gown and slippers.
Do you feel that your friends are smarter than you? If yes does this bother you?
