Daria!! Anyone else know what it is but me??

Hrozean @Hrozean (116) • United States 19 Nov 12

I LOVE this show Daria. It was started as a spin of as beavis and butthead and ended up being my favorite television show ever. My mother used to watch it when I was a kid and for some reason I just got addicted to it. A few years...

crimsonladybug I guess since you watched it with your mom, that probably puts you in a younger age group but I can't believe anyone doesn't know about Daria. Shannon Woodward and Katy Perry even dressed up together as Daria and Jane (respectively) for Halloween THIS YEAR!...

If offered good money, would you allow a TV crew to film you life day-to-day?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 15 Nov 12

Reality shows are the "in" thing now and I think they will be here for a long, long time because let's face it, it is so interesting to watch real scenes and real-life drama, without scripts and all. There are so many reality...

crimsonladybug LOL Sure, if they wanted to but they'd better pay me upfront because it's going to be a serious waste of their time. The life of a freelance writer digging through the classified ads can't be worth a lot of screen time or entertainment budget.

Do you still read books?

writethem @writethem (96) • United States 15 Nov 12

Last week I did something I use to enjoy a while ago. I read a novel. I'm usually on Facebook or Youtube most of the time. My book reading days are long gone. But I did enjoy sitting in a chair and reading a book. I forgot how...

crimsonladybug I do still read books but not nearly so much as I used to. When I was a kid I had all the time in the world to read. But now so many other obligations get in the way. For a while, I was spending a couple of hours a week at Starbucks before I'd go to work just...

mickey2win @mickey2win (196) • China 15 Nov 12

I watched movie 2012, and since 2012.12.21 is coming soon, do you believe it? Sometimes I wonder if it is true, I might be regretful in many things. I would be something really crazy, maybe. But I dare not to bet. The Bible...

crimsonladybug I don't REALLY believe it but things like all the dead birds dropping out of the sky last year and the earthquakes in strange places, all the over the top hateful discord over this year's election results... kind of point suspicions in that direction.

crimsonladybug I very rarely add tags if I am responding to someone else's discussions. Usually the tags that are already on the discussion are sufficient, whether the original poster added them or someone who had already responded. Adding too many tags can make it difficult...

Is it just me or is myLot kind of ugly to look at?

alkemyst @alkemyst (26) • Canada 21 Aug 12

My thoughts on myLot are that the layout is poor, and the font is pretty terrible too. I feel like I'm looking at a personal website from the 90s. What do you guys think?

crimsonladybug It's low-frills to promote functionality. If there were a lot of background images or specialized fonts or high resolution graphics, it wouldn't function as well and run more slowly. Even as it is I see people complaining that it loads slowly or not at all.

Is sense of humor an important quality when looking for love?

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 30 Jul 12

I always hear girls and boys looking for people with sense of humor. I don't know if it's just a cliche characteristic that's just put out there and if they really mean it. Then again, I know a lot of funny guys who get a lot of...

crimsonladybug For me, it's more important that they have a sense of humor similar to my own. I'm quite sarcastic and dry, more "witty" than "funny." I think it's important for partners to "get" each other and if my partner doesn't understand my jokes, or understand why I...
