I don't get people!

3cardmonte @3cardmonte (5098) 30 Sep 09

Do you wish you could understand people? Why they were so weird? so nasty? so nice? Why they do what they do or have done what they did? Or do you think that they have their reasons and they're not for you to know?

roadki11 There are a lot of people and behaviors that baffle me. But, there are probably a whole bunch of people who are just as baffled by me and my behavior. So, I try not to dwell.

Who is your all time favorite director?

roadki11 @roadki11 (34) • United States 26 Sep 09

Mine is Stanley Kubrick. I have no respect for the academy awards because he was never given one.

roadki11 I adore him. When I first heard that the guy who directed Memento was going to redo Batman, I was beside myself with anticipation. Have you seen Following? It's very low budget because it's his first film. But it is really good.

How do you know when something is a sow's ear and not a silk purse?

DoriLentrich @DoriLentrich (1016) • United States 26 Sep 09

This is a problem I think a lot of writers face. Our pieces are often our children. As such, letting them go is difficult. How do you determine when it's hopeless? What criteria do you use when you finally throw up your hands and...

roadki11 I put it away for as long as I can. Ideally, one month. Then I read it with fresh eyes, eyes that have distance. I can see it for what it is, then.

How did you meet the man/woman of your dreams

baybay3 @baybay3 (65) • United States 26 Sep 09

Hey everyone! I always enjoy hearing how couples met! I met my boyfriend while attending my University. We both had the same major so we had every class together. He is the man of my dreams! How did you meet your...

roadki11 I met my husband on an internet dating site. I feel like he's my one, my one and only. If something happened, I'd never be able to love again. But, I also feel like nobody would ever believe that about us knowing how we met. I have to force myself to not keep...

Does anybody else get lower back pain with PMS?

roadki11 @roadki11 (34) • United States 26 Sep 09

It's the oddest thing for me. It is usually much worse if I exercise. I ran 8 miles today and I can barely walk. This only happens right before my period. I have endometriosis, so that may be it. Does anybody else experience...

Blu-ray movies

killer04 @killer04 (282) • Australia 25 Sep 09

Hi there. Blu-ray is a fairly new type of media, which is used to store huge quantities of media. With that, film companies are able to release movies in high definition, so you will be able to watch movies of a greater sound and...

roadki11 I've had bluray for about a year. My PS3 plays blu ray. That's why blu ray beat out HDDVD, the playstation. I don't pay extra to enable my Netflix account for blu ray. It hardly seems worth it because it's a lot more but they don't have a whole lot of their...

How much time will you spend writing something if you know the pay is minimal?

vivasuzi @vivasuzi (4127) • United States 24 Sep 09

Background: I write articles at a blog site where we get paid based on hits and a few other criteria. Since my category is about TV shows, I write as I watch and usually post within minutes after the show finishes. This means it...

roadki11 I left textbroker for this exact reason. The pay is about four dollars for 450 words. I got bad ratings because the textbroker editor found two typos. They rated me 3/5 for two typos in an article that garnered me $4. I ended up at helium. I made $16 for...

Evolution or creation? Tell me why...

ChaoticBeauty @ChaoticBeauty (263) • United States 23 Sep 09

Hey all, personally, I believe in creation. There cannot possibly be evidence to support both theories, and, in fact, both require a certain amount of faith. Creation requires the faith of a child, while evolution requires an...

What is the worst smell in the world?

roadki11 @roadki11 (34) • United States 22 Sep 09

To me, it's rotting chicken.

roadki11 I think that is actually very similar to rotting chicken. They both have that piercing quality, don't they? You almost feel as though the smell is burrowing into your brain.

roadki11 Evolution doesn't require any faith in your research. In fact, science requires you to constantly try to disprove your research. You have to constantly doubt it and take it apart. Many, including myself, would call that the opposite of faith. There is...

roadki11 There is going to be a fair to huge amount of risk in anything that is really worth doing. If you put all of your focus on one person to the exclusion of others, you could get seriously hurt by a betrayal. Or, that person could simply break up with you without...

A question about gay marriage.

roadki11 @roadki11 (34) • United States 22 Sep 09

Are there any straight people here who feel like gay marriage would threaten their marriage? If so, I would love to hear your reasons. I'm in the states and I hear that a lot but nobody ever explains why they feel that way. I...

roadki11 I completely agree with you that making homosexuality illicit is a HUGE threat to heterosexual marriage. I know a few women who are terrified of marrying a closeted gay man. I've not met any men who feel that way about marrying a closeted lesbian. I know a few...

What is the first line of the book you are reading right now?

roadki11 @roadki11 (34) • United States 21 Sep 09

Mine is, "My heart - I thought it stopped." It's a collection of Amy Hempel stories.

roadki11 I haven't read it, myself. It's on my amazon wish list. From what I hear, it IS Pride and Prejudice. It's a mash up of the original novel and added zombie bits. There is also Sense and Sensibilities and Seamonsters.
