Ok there is just a teeny tiny bit of what some very sensitive types might consider inap..oh who cares about being diplomatic, if you whine a lot, skip on to the next blog.
True's Questions;
1) Who is the one person in your life that you have loved the most?
Well there is a very dear friend of mine that I've known since we were 13 and 14 respectively. We've gone through a lot together over the years. He's still back home in CA. but we chat regularly. Although we're currently irritated with each other, but that's nothing new. It's just one of those things, no matter what happens he always finds me and we've managed to stay friends and stay in touch for nearly 20 years.
2) What is your favorite thing to do in bed with your lover?
Eat ice cream. Heh..um wow it's hard to pick just one thing. There is a position, I believe it's been dubbed "two towers" although I really prefer just throwing one tower up there... but really almost everything short of sleeping in the wet spot. I do like the eating of the ice cream though, peanut butter.
3) What is the one thing you wish you could do and not get caught at?
Again, just one? Too hard...Rig the lotto so I win it! Molest hot male celebrities...oh this list could go on forever.
4) If you could go anywhere in the world and not have to pay to get there, where would you go and who would you bring?
First pick would be Greece and I guess i'd take my special someone. Begin:Geek; A close second would be hiking through New Zealand and going to all the LOTR film locations with Steven. End:Geek;
Jarle's Questions;
1. Which single episode/experience has, as you see it, made the biggest impact on your life?
Probably meeting the aforementioned friend back home in CA.when we were kids. We helped each other to get through both our equally difficult childhoods. I don't think I would have survived to an adult without him and I keep going just knowing he's out there. Oh, and the first "Indiana Jones".
2. If you got to know that you only had 24 hrs left to live, how would you spend that time?
I would love to get out to the coast in Oregon. If not I'd find the nearest pretty beach, sit in the sand and stare at the ocean until the end.
3. What is impossible for you to compromise on?
Chocolate. No I don't know? I think im pretty easy going in most respects. I suppose giving up things I love. Once again, childhood friend, wouldn't give him up for anything and broke up with more than one boyfriend over it. I suppose I won't compromise my beliefs.
4. What is the scariest thing concerning dying/death in your opinion?
Ya know, i'm not at all afraid of dying. Maybe the way of the death is the scary part? I'd hate to burn alive or be on the business end of the food chain. I think the only really scary part about it, is if I'll do it alone. But the into the great beyond part...Not worried at all.
MPH'es? Questions;
1) In a battle between human made robots and man made robots who would win?
Pfft that's easy, human made robots of course. Human made would be made by both WOMYN and men SO the WOMYN would be there to correct any problems and also include a special x37400 ultra anger PMS microchip. Man made robots are made by men only and every WOMYN knows men are inferior....
2) If you could not drink alcohol would you consider a sherry enima?
No. I hardly drink as it is, maybe three times a year and just no. That's pathetic, seriously.
3) Do you believe animals have a sixth sense?
Like, do they see dead people? I don't know, my animals used to go nuts before an earthquake..does that count?
4) Hot Dogs?
So long as there are no suspicious crunchy things.

Puh, that was a long post, Alex. Thank you for answer the questions so elaborately. The reason why asked you about death is that this question is maybe the most ultimate one (they say that there are two things we can't stare directly at: the sun and death). I'm glad for you that you are not worried about dying and death. I struggle myself with this question from time to time..
E.g. I lost a friend of mine to cancer (ovaries, stomach,liver) last summer. She was in strong agony and pain for a long time. At the end the painkillers didn't help very much and she had immense pains before she died not long time after her 35th birthday. That scared me a lot, not the death itself as much as the enormous suffering that modern medicine was unable to relieve properly. My friend was bitter and sad the last part of her illness especially about the fact that she hadn't started a family (boyfriend/husband+kids). Just before the final stages she was sent to a retreat where patients who were terminal ill with cancer are being prepared by health professionals to deal with the near process of dying. She was the only young patient there, all the other patients were like very old people in their 70-80's. It's unnecessary to say that that made her even more sad and realized that life basically is unfair.
The crunchy parts are the best thing about hot dogs.
You know . . .the absoluetly BEST thing in life (um . . food wise) would be eating ICE CREAM with Peanut butter. More specifically, Oreo ice cream with a couple nice spoonfuls of peanut butter mixed in. My mouth is now watering . . .thank you, thank you very much ;)
Sounds very good to me. Pity I'm dieting...
Jarle, I'm sorry about your friend and I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
It was even worse for my sister as this person (AK) was one of her closest and best friends; they went to school together, traveled on holidays together and even shared a flat during college. My sister, who lives in London, received the day before our friend passed away a phone call from the hospital that AK's condition had deteriorated dramatically and that my sister had to come immediately to Oslo if she wanted to be able to say good-bye. My sister bought the tickets and were just packing her suitcase preparing to leave when the hospital called again and informed her that it was to late, AK had just passed away.
My sister flew to Oslo anyway, and even though she came to late to say good-bye (oh! bloody hell, now I'm crying writing this, it's too sad..shit..) she could take some kind of farewell seeing her lying dead at the hospital, just hours after she had passed away. Needless to say that this has influenced how we view life and death. Martin Heidegger's quote that "there exists no clinical death, only my own death" comes into my mind. I see the meaning in these words more clearly now..
"It's not that I'm afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens." (Woody Allen)
I'd love to go to New Zealand and geek out Lord of the Rings style with you :)
I tried posting this earlier but I guess it didn't go through?
Jarle, I'm so sorry that you or your sister had to experience this. It's always worse somehow when someone is being taken at a young age. At the very least you know how important it is to take the short time you have and live it to the best of your ability. That message is never more accute than when you lose someone senselessly. Maybe someday they will cure cancer with a simple little pill. Here's hoping. In the meantime don't focus on what's lost but what you have to look forward to. I'm sure your friend would want that. *hugs*
Steven- Name the day sweets!
It's true what you say Alex, and without death I think life could only be lived on a superficial level.
And *hugs* to you from Sweden Alex.
