Myrilia No, but I'm beginning to think I should. I forget things constantly, only to remember days, or even weeks, later. I do keep a grocery list, and a list for the warehouse club. I think I'll have to add a weekly to-do list, as well.

Myrilia I usually wake up around six in the morning...without an alarm! I'm out of the house around 7:45 or 8:00. I use to wake up much later, around 7. I find I like the extra time in the morning, though!

Are there any Die Hard Readers on Mylot ?

shewolf52002 @shewolf52002 (1214) • United States 16 Feb 09

I only ask because I notice book discussions do not do very well here and that is a shame. I love to read and would love to discuss the books I have read lately with someone.

Myrilia I read constantly, from a wide range of subjects. I haven't tried to start any discussions about books, so I can't confirm your observations.

When will we run out of oil?

Myrilia @Myrilia (209) • United States 20 Jun 08

When will we run out of oil? It is a limited resource, as we all know. Some of the articles I've read say that oil production could cease by the year 2050. What do you think? I've also read other articles saying that it isn't...

Tuesdays with Morris (by Mith Alborn)

lazeebee @lazeebee (5461) • Malaysia 12 Jun 08

I was adding to my interest icons today at MyLot, when I came across this book 'Tuesday with Morris'. And I remember the intense emotions I felt then. I finished the book within 2-3 hours or so (it was rather short). It moved me...

Are you close to your grandparents?

Allie_xoxo @Allie_xoxo (1063) • Canada 7 Jun 08

Myrilia I was very close to my mother's parents before they passed away. They lived about three hours away, and I would see them several times a year. My father's parents, no. I'd only met his mother (my grandmother) two or three times that I can remember; she died...

Myrilia I collect pins, buttons, lapel pins. I've been doing this since I was 5, so I have quite the collection now! Over 1000, last I counted. I also collect worry stones, because I like having something to do with my hands. And books, of course, although I've been...

Myrilia I have no problem being single. I enjoy the freedom it brings. Society does seem to be geared for couples, though. I've noticed my married friends rarely invite me on outings, because I'd be the only single person there. Maybe they think I'd feel...

Ironman

roxas22 @roxas22 (5) • Canada 23 May 08

I thought this movie was awesome! Do you guys like it? Lots of people I know hate it, but I know a lot of people who love it too.

2 responses

Myrilia I loved this movie! I think it's the best of the recent crop of Superhero Movies. I think Robert Downey, Jr. did an excellent job bringing Tony Stark to life. I'd never really noticed him before, either, but he was awesome here. I'm not an Incredible Hulk fan...

Best Marvel Movie for you?

selece @selece (2357) • Philippines 2 Jun 08

It started with spiderman that hit the charts and earned millions.. no, probably billions. A lot of Marvel movies came out soon. Fantastic Four, The Punisher, Ghost Rider, Hulk, and the latest and best(for me, so far) Ironman......

7 responses

Myrilia I agree, Ironman has been the best so far. I'm really not a Incredible Hulk fan, but I'll definitely go see it, because Tony Stark is in it! I think Robert Downey, Jr. did a great job with the character. Can't wait for the sequel!

Are you a Barefooter?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 7 May 08

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I'm finding that I'm discarding my shoes more and more and pottering around barefoot. I don't tend to go barefoot often in town because the stares I attract are a bit much for me, but I...

Myrilia I would go barefooot all year, if I could. But as we have a cold winter season, I don't go barefoot outside during that time. I don't go barefoot in public, but at home or with friends, I almost never wear shoes. I wear sandals April through October, which is...

Myrilia I've read this...it was an okay read. I actually liked the second and third books in the series more. There's a fourth one out, as well, but I haven't read that yet. What other vampire books have you read?

What do you do with books that you already have read?

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 25 Feb 08

Myrilia I'll read just about anything if I'm desparate enough! Like you, I enjoy SF&F quite a bit. I also like non fiction, especially travel books. And I like thrillers. I guess I have varied tastes!

Myrilia For me, mostly in the morning. I always have a cup before work, whether or not I eat breakfast. Occasionally (maybe once a week) I'll treat myself to a latte or something fancy from the local coffee shop in the evening.

Myrilia No, this isn't that unusual. About 20 percent of cats are "immune" to catnip; it does nothing for them. I have two cats, one who goes crazy over the stuff, and one who wouldn't notice if I was growing a patch of it in the living room.

Myrilia I, too, am afraid of dying alone. However, it's a fear I can mostly push to the back of my mind. It's not an unreasoning fear. I have one unreasoning fear, which I've had since I was a child. I'm afraid of being trapped in a car that has gone into the water...
