  Sneezers get a 'bless you' and a kleenex from me.

  I dont skip but it sure is tempting at times.

  My mood song at the moment is "Happy Trails"

  I like the dark....to me its both comforting and womb like.

  For today I'll take a white with red interior 1978 Lincoln convertable.

  My cooking often morphs from a recipe into 'toss and pray'.

  I believe in fate up to a point but I also believe we can control fate in some way.  (How's that for a dodge?)

  Happy endings make my day.

  Robin Williams will do.

  When someone sneezes, do you bless them? yes

  
  

  When you're reading a book, do you ever skip ahead to the end to see what happens? only once

  
  

  Is there a song that fits your mood right now? not really.

  
  

  Are you afraid of the dark?  yes, sort of

  
  

  What is your dream car? one I am not making payments on

  
  

  When/if you cook, do you follow a recipe? Or do you use the cooking Force and just toss stuff together?  receipe, why tempt fate?

  
  

  Do you believe in fate? If so, does it frighten you to know there are things you can't control? wow, that was weird.  I didn't read ahead, so obviously I do believe in fate.  No, I'm not frightened of what I cannot change.

  
  

  When reading a story/watching a movie, do you want a happy ending? Or do you want a realistic ending? for movies and books I like happy endings.  I get enough reality in RL.

  
  

  If you compared yourself to a movie/TV character, who would it be? (they don't have to look like you--just be like you) I just finished watching "In Plain Sight" and I see a lot of similarities.

  When someone sneezes, do you bless them? Yes I do.
  
  
  When you're reading a book, do you ever skip ahead to the end to see what happens? I have done this before, because sometimes I just want to know what I'm getting into.
  
  
  Is there a song that fits your mood right now? Welcome to the Black Parade--My Chemical Romance. Don't know why. I just like it.
  
  
  Are you afraid of the dark? I am more afraid of what lurks in the dark, than the dark itself. 
  
  
  What is your dream car? A 1970 Chevelle. Red with a black racing stripe.
  
  
  When/if you cook, do you follow a recipe? Or do you use the cooking Force and just toss stuff together? Unless I'm making cookies or something I'd ruin if I didn't follow a recipe, I just throw stuff in and hope for the best. Usually it works out well.
  
  
  Do you believe in fate? If so, does it frighten you to know there are things you can't control? Yes, I believe. And yes, it frightens me not to have control over things.
  
  
  When reading a story/watching a movie, do you want a happy ending? Or do you want a realistic ending? A happy ending.
  
  
  If you compared yourself to a movie/TV character, who would it be? (they don't have to look like you--just be like you) A young Obi Wan Kenobi.

  When someone sneezes, do you bless them? Yup
  
  
  
  When you're reading a book, do you ever skip ahead to the end to see what happens? No, I don't want to know how it ends because it'll spoil my enjoyment of the story
  
  
  
  Is there a song that fits your mood right now? No, not really. I've been thinking, and I got nothing.
  
  
  
  Are you afraid of the dark? Sometimes. But not usually.
  
  
  
  What is your dream car? I don't have one really, but I like the old muscle cars from the 60's and 70's
  
  
  
  When/if you cook, do you follow a recipe? Or do you use the cooking Force and just toss stuff together? I use the cooking Force mostly. This is why I'm not a very good cook! But I find that recipes are usually too bland for me. I like to throw a bunch of different spices into something and hope for the best.
  
  
  
  Do you believe in fate? If so, does it frighten you to know there are things you can't control? Yes, I believe in fate. But it doesn't really frighten me. It kind of exhilarates me to wonder what's next. (most of the time anyway)
  
  
  
  When reading a story/watching a movie, do you want a happy ending? Or do you want a realistic ending? Always a happy ending. I don't watch or read something to get slapped with realism. I want escape.

• Eilan said on Jun 08, 2008....

• Lucytorial said on Jun 08, 2008....

  I always bless someone when they sneeze.
  
  
  
  Never, it would ruin the discovery.
  
  
  
  No not really, although one does keep running through my mind, its called "I love the way you move"
  
  
  
  Nah, but if you ask me that when I'm alone and the dingos are out my front door??? yep!
  
  
  
  At the moment a Jeep 4 x 4, but then I wouldn't have the funds to put petrol in it so I'll stick with the vintage sports car we already have.
  
  
  
  Or do you use the cooking Force and just toss stuff together? Both, cooking is a very creative thing to do, I like to mix it up a bit.
  
  
  
  No, some things are meant to happen though and not knowing makes life a journey, our choices inevitably direct our lives on a particular road.
  
  
  
  A realistic ending, however happy endings can work if done well.
  
  
  
  I'm too unique Mr. Box, so no there is no one, not one character like me.
  

• skald said on Jun 08, 2008....

  First question  yes we usualy say god bless you here.
  2. No
  Skipping some questions. No I'm not afraid of the dark.
  
  when I cook I don't exactly follow recipe. I am often cooking something that I have cooked for years so I know exactly how I am going to do it. when I was younger I liked to improvise.
  
  I don't know if I believe in fate. I think we can control a lot our selfs and what can not be controlled has to be worked out. Conquered.
  No I like a story to be realistic. But I like imagination too.
  
  
  
  

• quietone said on Jun 08, 2008....

  yes I bless

  no I don't skip but sometimes I don't make it to the end either.

  You'll Never Walk Alone

  No, I am not afraid of the dark

  1967 chevey Impala convertable 

  No I use a microwave

  fate - I don't know if I do or not.  It doesn't frighten me to not have control

  either ending is good for me

  I don't know who right off hand

   

• the_infernal_optimist said on Jun 08, 2008....

  When someone sneezes, do you bless them? Yes
  
  
  
  When you're reading a book, do you ever skip ahead to the end to see what happens? Every now and then, if a situation in the book is getting to me in a bad way, I'll skip to the end for a little reassurance that it doesn't stay that way.
  
  
  
  Is there a song that fits your mood right now? Not perfectly, but "If I Were You" by Collin Raye is in my head for some reason.
  
  
  
  Are you afraid of the dark? No
  
  
  
  What is your dream car? A midnight blue (the sort of paint that sparkles subtly when the light hits it) Mitsubishi Eclipse (any recent year) or a 1960 Studebaker Champ, preferably royal or midnight blue.
  
  
  
  When/if you cook, do you follow a recipe? Or do you use the cooking Force and just toss stuff together? It depends; I've done both. I tend to totally wing it with spices/seasoning all the time though.
  
  
  
  Do you believe in fate? If so, does it frighten you to know there are things you can't control? Yes, I believe in fate. And...no, it doesn't frighten me when you get down to it, because I don't always want to control everything. I mean, I do want to a lot of the time, but sometimes it's just like "Enough, too much, someone else take the reins!" and at those times, it's not scary. It's  a relief.
  
  
  
  When reading a story/watching a movie, do you want a happy ending? Or do you want a realistic ending? I tend to dislike stories and movies that don't have happy endings. And I got in trouble in school once because everything I wrote had a happy ending. But I didn't change. :-p
  
  
  
  If you compared yourself to a movie/TV character, who would it be? (they don't have to look like you--just be like you) Uh...I have no freaking idea...maybe Catherine Willows on CSI? She's tough and smart and willing to fight for the things that are important to her.

• Mr_Box said on Jun 08, 2008....

  Botoni.....Robin Williams from what movie? Any one in particular?
  
  
  Ms. Ironic.....I'm not sure who's in the movie In Plain Sight. Which actress is like you?
  
  
  Kyle...I think you handle the prospect of fate a bit better than me. Wanna give me lessons on how to do that? I think our Force cooking methods work pretty good, no? Our potato salad rocked.
  
  
  soaring.....you made me laugh with your cooking skill comment. That kind of sounds like my wife's cooking.
  
  
  Eilan....I remember that show Murphy Brown. Now I'm going to picture you like that in my head :-P 
  
  
  Lucy.....maybe they should make a TV show about you? That way you can just be you? That works for me!
  
  
  Skald....I like your ideas of fate. I think you're right. If we can't control it, we're not supposed to. We have to work it out instead.
  
  
  quietone....You use a microwave for everything? Do you ever bake cookies? I love your dream car choice, btw.
  
  
  Infernally.....I'm sure there's a reason that song is in your head....I suppose that your not being afraid of fate and letting go of your control, is a very good thing. Too bad I'm usually the type of person who doesn't hand the reigns over. I'm working on it. Catherine Willows is a good choice. I can see that. Plus the hair is similar ;-)

  Do you believe in fate? If so, does it frighten you to know there are things you can't control? I am very torn on this....yes, i believe in fate..the fact that i found so many coincidences in my life connected to othe people lives it gives me a sense of the existence of something that we can call fate. But i am not completely sure we don't have any power in shaping our life....i think it could be a 50/50 situation...
  
  
  
  When reading a story/watching a movie, do you want a happy ending? Or do you want a realistic ending? No. I don't want a happy ending. I want an ending that fits the story. Happy or sad that it migth be.
  
  
  
  If you compared yourself to a movie/TV character, who would it be? (they don't have to look like you--just be like you). Meg Ryan in  "You got mail"......for so many reasons...mostly silly ones....lol...

• silverwhisper said on Jun 09, 2008....

  sneezing: i always say "gesundheit".
  
  skipping ahead while reading: never.
  
  song/mood: right now, not so much.
  
  afraid of the dark: nope.
  
  dream car: i've been crushing on the BMW z3 and audi tt for several years, or the porsche 928. however, i also know that just ain't in the cards.
  
  cooking: i rarely cook, but when i do i'm never following a recipe so much as an ingredient list.
  
  fate: some days yes, other days not so much. when i do, no, b/c there are tons of things in my day to day life that are not under my control: the existence/absence of fate does not meaningfully impact that, AFAICT.
  
  story/endings: i prefer an ending that fits the tale being told. the story's the thing, to paraphrase shakespeare.
  
  movie/TV casting: in some ways, anthony daniels (c3po). i've been told by folks who know me online (but not from here) that for some reason, they think of jet li when they visualize me--which i find very weird.

  When someone sneezes, do you bless them?  Only if they bless me when *I* sneeze (thinking of the workplace). My Mom gets mad if I say "bless you" to her when she sneezes lol so with her, I keep "mum" ;o)

  When you're reading a book, do you ever skip ahead to the end to see what happens?  Never. However,  I'm currently tempted w/ Duma Key by Stephen King, cuz it was getting too creepy so thought I'd have to quit, yet I want to know the outcome.  I am forging ahead, reading it through to the end.
  

  Is there a song that fits your mood right now?  Rainy Days and Mondays, or maybe Short People
  

  Are you afraid of the dark? Not usually.
  

  What is your dream car?  Mitsubishi 3000GT
  

  When/if you cook, do you follow a recipe? Or do you use the cooking Force and just toss stuff together?  Usually pick and choose from 2 similar recipes.
  

  Do you believe in fate? If so, does it frighten you to know there are things you can't control?  Don't really believe in fate, though it's a comforting thought.
  

  When reading a story/watching a movie, do you want a happy ending? Or do you want a realistic ending?  Heck yeah give me a happy ending!
  

  If you compared yourself to a movie/TV character, who would it be? (they don't have to look like you--just be like you)   A little like Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate (even though I'm female!)

  When someone sneezes, do you bless them? Of course :)
  
  
  
  When you're reading a book, do you ever skip ahead to the end to see what happens?  No!  Never!  I like anticipation too much, plus it never takes that long to read a book!
  
  
  
  Is there a song that fits your mood right now?  Um....nothing particular
  
  
  
  Are you afraid of the dark?  Sometimes, actually I'm afraid of the monsters IN the dark, not the dark itself ;)
  
  
  
  What is your dream car?  Car?  Because I don't have a dream car....I mean I'd take a Shelby any day....but really what I dream about isn't a CAR!!
  
  
  
  When/if you cook, do you follow a recipe? Or do you use the cooking Force and just toss stuff together?  Well whenever I try to use a recipe it's a 25% chance that it'll actually be good.  When I use the force, mostly with baking, I do much better.
  
  
  
  Do you believe in fate? If so, does it frighten you to know there are things you can't control?  I do believe in fate.  I have a hard time knowing I can't control something, it's more frustration than fear though.  Sometimes it's good things that are brought into your life by fate so I suppose there is no reason to be afraid ever :)
  
  
  
  When reading a story/watching a movie, do you want a happy ending? Or do you want a realistic ending?  I want a happy ending, realistic can bite me.  I have to do realistic every day, I'd like a little happily ever after when I am being entertained :)
  
  
  
  If you compared yourself to a movie/TV character, who would it be? (they don't have to look like you--just be like you)  Oh geez, I have no idea.  I'm horrible at saying who I'm like, usually everyone comes up with someone different...so unless you guys know of one....I pick scooby doo :)
  
  
  
  
  

• ANutherwald said on Jun 09, 2008....

  I do say bless you, but without thinking. Probably society and family influence.

  It depends on how dull the read is. If the story line is good, but the author puts too much blah, blah, blah in I do.

  I would say I'm particular to the Ghost Buster's theme. Probably because everyone is constantly calling me to do things for them.

  At times, but it is what may be in the darkness - not necessarily the darkness itself.

  A black Mercedes.

  I usually start with a recipe, but wind up throwing my own ingrediants in.

  Okay, I do believe in fate to a point. I believe that each road has a specific end, but that there are so many off-shoots that you really couldn't say point A specifically leads to point B. Each choice takes you down a new road, which has many other choices.

  How about a realistic happy ending? I used to like happy endings, but most of the ones now are so unrealistic that it takes away from the good ending. Unhappy endings, where the hero dies, cheese me off.

  Probably Julia Roberts, not the greatest upbringing - bad choice in relationships - but she managed to make it in the end.
