I like your idea of fun! What would you do when we met :3
Ought to be a concert of some sort XD
...please don't ask me just what i think...
...trust me you don't want to know...

Recommendations for remaining in good favor with a Scorpio sun, Leo rising, Virgo moon? I'm out of my league trying to figure this one out.. Especially in a romantic sense.
...Oh dear. That sounds terrifying.
The trick there is to give that one their space, as much as possible, and find a way to make them think they're getting their way and that whatever's going on was their idea all alone. Chasing after that one will amuse the Leo aspect but drive the Scorp side even further underground, and the Virgo control factor needs to be addressed at all times.
Ever heard that Scorpios (also Scorpio risings) are supposed to be born within a year before or after a death. I dunno if it's true, but from what I've observed, it is. Just thought it was interesting. I like astrology too much.
Scorpio as a sign is most closely tied to death as well as sex.. it's a bit on the stereotypical side but there it is. Love&Death if you will.. we find a romance, a fascination with it that others might shy away from.
Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face?
*blinks*
That's not something I get told much. Usually the opposite....
thanks though... :x
I'm bored - what would you suggest I do?
Buy a motorcycle, tease your hair up wild, wear fishnets on your arms and ROADTRIIIIIIIIIP
Beauty, intelligence, great personality. You can only choose two. Which do you pick? (This is about yourself, not any potential friends or partners).
intelligence and personality. beauty is where you find it...
Since everyone else is having fun asking you questions about this... Sag sun, Taurus moon, Libra rising. Your opinion?
you try to reconcile absolutely everything to some kind of balance, don't you.
I just looked it up, and it's looking like my rising sign is Leo o.O Still don't know about that! Sometimes I think I was meant to be born on my due date, March 20 :P
I was apparently so determined to be a Scorpio I was born too early. Never know why or how these things will work out...
One of my biggest problems, being a Gemini (aside from being so focused on my own world), is my struggle with trying to keep myself from creating dishonesty in myself. So I over explain. Everything. Try to keep it out there, unhidden.
it's being aware of it when it's happening that's paramount.
In the interests of self presevation, if you were only allowed to take 5 things in a bag with you before the nuclear holocaust, what would you take?
- Gun & ammo
- All purpose tool (leatherman)
- Lighters
- Medication
- Water purifier
Ahaha, I've never tried, but yeah, I have a book on how to manipulate the sun signs and there's a section in the back with rising signs. Make Leo feel like they're the best and all of that. I've learned Scorps are snipers with manipulating too.
we can be awful like that, I'll fully admit it. It's part of what makes having Gemini for a rising sign such a battle for me. I despise dishonesty so much and yet I'm up against two of the signs that're the worst about it.
Working with a Leo goes like this? ME ME ME ME *whine whine whine* *sits there and files nails*
More or less. Damn lions. Though if you find the right tack, they'll do anything to make sure they're in the center being admired. That's how to get them to work.
Thankies. I'm really bad at working with people, but it'll be over on Tuesday. *has stage fright* In your experience, what is the most annoying sign to work with?
Leos. AURGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
In keeping with all of the astrological questions XD Now that we've interacted online for awhile, do you think that I fit any typical personality profile for an Aries? I always wonder, because I don't think so, but nobody I know knows enough about it!
omg no, I would NEVER have pegged you for one.. what's your rising sign? A lot of people tend to 'present' more as their rising than their sun sign... it has more influence on our everyday stuff while sun sign is the basic tenets of our personalities..
I should have known he was before he mentioned it today. He has those eyes... @.@ Thanks for the tips. It doesn't help that I like working alone too... >.>;;;
i hear ya. i'm sorry, best of luck with it...
Tips for working with Scorpios? This dude I got partnered with for a project is a Scorpio and he NEVER talks!
we're bad like that :x best thing is to follow his lead, ask short questions and don't push too much. i don't envy you, we tend to work better alone so group things are hard with us involved.
I kinda love you, just because you're a fanboy. <333 And I don't even know you! I know, I'm odd. :x
heheh.. danke. it's a bit odd, we're a rare breed in the fandom but it's fun, even if I do take a bit of hell for it sometimes. <3
Tell me something about yourself that I don't know.. something you've always wanted to tell me that you wanted to.. or something that you wish you could say to someone but can't.
I wish I could explain it all, and have it understood, without awkwardness or pity or sketching people out. I wish it wasn't in the undercurrent of so many of our lives. I wish I didn't know another one of us almost on sight. I wish there weren't so many of us. I wish it didn't exist at all. I wish there really was a deity of some kind who cared enough to stop this from ever happening again to anyone. I wish there wasn't something so fundamentally wrong with human beings that they can do this to each other, that they can do this to little kids and adults alike. I wish none of us had to live with it. I wish we could all erase it.
Those electronic cigarettes look really interesting. You going for any flavors, or just straight up?
Gonna try all the flavors since they come with the starter kit but I expect I'll gravitate to menthol or vanilla since I smoke vanilla cloves. Wish they'd make a clove flavor.
Do you and your husband have any major political or ideological differences?
Not as such; our disagreements tend to circle on social aspects of things rather than say politics or religion.
By the way, good luck on quitting smoking. It's hard for a lot of people, so even just doing it takes a lot of balls.
thanks, if the way i backslid today is any indication, i'm gonna need it. x___x
Waiting on this to show up.: http://www.blucigs.com/starter-kits
i am sending hugs your way. i know how much this hurt you.
Terrifyingly enough re-telling the story below is just reminding me that you know, since this has happened before I should be a little more inured to this kind of shit after that all went down.
Danke... <3
How did the friend you mentioned earlier get exposed as a gigantic faker? How did you cope with it?
Things started unraveling, with the application of a little suspicion and a lot of logic. Pull one thread and the whole fucking sweater comes undone, and suddenly you discover the caring, dedicated friend you thought you had is actually a raving paranoid delusional with occasional psychotic breaks...
...who turns on you when you start asking those logical questions with some of the most hurtful shit they could possibly throw at you, because like a fucking idiot you trusted them, thought they were a friend, and let them know things about you and your life as you THOUGHT they were sharing their own.
I'm still rather a bit bitter about the whole thing, and rather a lot less trusting than I even used to be before, which may explain a bit for some people.
would you say that 'akira' would be appropriate for a 13-year-old to watch?????? (goin along with withteeth's question)
depends ENTIRELY on the individual person's level of emotional and mental maturity, and readiness for shit like the stuffed toy scene which STILL GIVES ME THE FUCKING CREEPS THANK YOU.
So I assume you've seen Akira, then? *pokes previous person's question*
Yeah, on the big screen actually, back when it first came out in '88. Creeped the fuck outta me.
Anime - yay or nay?
I grew up on it, but in 1976-1985 it wasn't so much the fad it became. I was the serious outcast kid for liking Robotech, Starblazers and Force Five...
What is the biggest scan you've ever fallen for?
The most manipulative, scheming, deceitful individual I have ever encountered in my life, who was a Gemini by the way, had us all believing a lot of things about her life that weren't true, and had us all trying to find ways to help her with these situations that she was in fact making up from nothing.
She took advantage of 9/11, she took advantage of her father's having had a stroke, and took these things and concocted such a gigantic bullshit story from things that had a tiny enough basis in fact that it was believable that we could have fallen for them.
I'd thought she was a friend I could trust. I even took part in her wedding. I welcomed her into my home. When it came down to it, not a single thing she ever said or did was real.
To this day I just hope to fuck she got some help somewhere along the line.
Ohh, if you ever find the originals again, PICS!
I'll scan 'em if I can find em. Those were some mightily fucked-up comics. Raphael was a homicidal psychopath if I remember right.
When you and your man are out together, do you find yourself watching the same guys?
Usually, yeah... we'll turn to one another right at the same time and start to say something about the same person. Usually ends in attempting not to crack up in public. XD
Ever hotwired a car?
Back in the day, yeah. My own car and my friend's and one time a U-Haul truck... Wouldn't have the first goddamn idea how with electronic ignitions and all this shit now.
Given your uh, mildly comical hatred of ducks, would you eat one? Same goes for coconut crabs.
I just hated THAT PARTICULAR duck. And he's dead so it doesn't matter. I've eaten duck before. I don't think I'd eat coconut crab, I've seen what THEY eat.
Have you ever tipied someone's house? DID YOU GET IN TROUBLE?
back around 8th grade halloween, bunch of us went on a shaving-cream-and-TP rampage. houses, trees, cars.. each other...
naw, we didn't get in trouble.
Ninja turtles or power rangers?
Original, dark-as-fuck, pre-TV cartoon Ninja Turtles. I still have some of those original graphic novels somewhere. There's such a divide between what TMNT became as a kids' cartoon franchise, and how Eastman/Laird had them going. It was so dark and scary, I fucking loved it. And was equally horrified by what it became.
Do you have a favorite muppet?
Tossup between Animal and Zoot.
Animal's hanging off my RockBand drumkit but having been a jazz musician I always had an understanding for Zoot.
You're a married man, right? Do your eyes ever wander or is your bloke your one and only?
He's it for me.
It's quite difficult for me to get close enough to anyone to even consider that kind of thing in the first place, and it's not something I'd do.
I'm throwing a little extra surprise in the box for Imp, hope that's ok :p
awesome awesome <3
What happened on the shortcut :(?
Bad car crash. First one I was in, not the one from July last year. Got rammed into by a loaded cargo van while I was at a full stop in traffic.
If you could go back in time, where would you go? Would you change the past even if you didn't know the concequences of your actions?
Depends on if I'd have the memories after if I changed something.
If I had to live with knowing I'd gone back and done something, and it changed around everything else on me, I wouldn't necessarily want to live knowing I'd lost what I had.
But truth, if I could go back and make one change?
I'd drive the long way home on Dec. 26, 2000. That shortcut wasn't worth destroying my life.
Love how your formspring's been nothing but astro stuff recently. Sorry about that. Lets try a different question. How's the kiddo?
need to find a pediatric psych, and fast.
How do I find out what my rising sign, moonsign and sunsign is? :X
your sun sign is the one everyone gives "oh i'm a pisces" etc.
for the rest you need the exact time of day (down to the minute) you were born and the city.. go to astrodienst.com and go to :
free horoscopes ==>
short horoscope ==>
personal portrait.
do the data entry thing, it'll give you a pretty comprehensive chart for free. I like that site, it's generally pretty accurate as far as their calculations go.
oh hai i'm creepin on your formspring. apparently i am a rising sag but a moon cancer. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN D:
what's your sun sign?
Do Scorpios have a tendency toward lying? I feel like I've been manipulated by at least two Scorpios and it does NOT make me happy.
we seem to go one of two ways with it.. having the tendency to play fast and loose with the truth, or being brutally honest.
I'm moon in Pisces too lol. Yeah.. it kinda sucks. >.> Except I'm a Taurus ascending Cancer. So I'm pretty well balanced I suppose.
yeah.. taurus vs cancer isn't like dropping a cobra and a mongoose in a cooler and taping it shut....
How well do Taurus and Libra mix?
Tauruses tend to get on well with just about everyone on most levels, and Librans are the balancers... so it's gotta work on some level..
are there any other zodiac signs you cant really get along with?
scorpio vs gemini is a bad, bad, bad mix.
the kicker is it's my rising sign :x
Bit of a weird question but what would you say your "favorite" sign of the Zodiac is? Based on any criteria you want.
scorpios, because we rule. ijaf. even if i can't generally manage to be in the same room with another one for more than half an hour...
What is the worst part about weaning yourself off of antidepressants? (I'm on Lexapro and not thinking of it now, but later on maybe)
Wondering if you're going to lose it all over again and questioning every damn reaction you have, wondering if it's you or the lack of medication influencing it, as well as whatever physical withdrawal symptoms come with whatever you're on.
I love house centipedes. Easily my favorite bug. More bug questions! Do you prefer moths or butterflies?
Depends on what kind, and where. Luna moths? Yesplz. Pantry moths? Fuck off I hate you. Butterflies are generally good no matter what.
Ugh, I don't know what kind they are. but I get ladybugs in my room all the damn time, and they're evil and I hate them and fear them something fierce. Anything that just ends up in swarms no matter where you look is sure to cause phobias.
that's the "bad" ones. nasty fuckers.
What's your opinion on ladybugs?
Actual ladybugs are awesome. They come sit in my garden and eat aphids and stuff.
The fake orange-y ones that try to get in your damn house all winter long are really bad juju, they're endangering the 'good' ones.
How about something a little faster, but just as leggy? House centipede?
ahsdjfkajhskdhjfgetoutGetOutGETOUT...
catch it in a cup and MAKE IT GO THE FUCK AWAY.
How do you feel about leggy things with many eyes and fangs? Such as arachnids?
Long as they stay over THERE ================>
then we have a truce. That said, spiders and arachnid things I do a lot better with than say, cockroaches.
So, what about spanking in the bedroom?
Not especially into it myself. If someone else wants it, sure.
Are you feeling better? <3
Still feel like I got hit by a semi but I'm working on it.. danke <3
How do you feel about spanking as a discipline method?
It's a tricky question. There's a difference between a swat on the rear and a spanking, and there's a BIG difference in doing something like that in anger, versus being the only way to get a kid's attention. The oldschool get your pants yanked down and get your ass beat is hella fucking wrong no matter how anyone tries to excuse it. No. Matter. What.
you mentioned furries but what about more extreme fetishism like animals, bodily fluids.. taboo stuff?
eh. people acting as animals are one thing, but an actual animal can't give consent, therefore major no.
other taboos generally follow those same lines. if that's what you're into and it's CONSENSUAL, more power to you. personally, things like watersports and scat play gross the holy hell out of me and they're not my thing whatsoever, but if that's someone else's kink, not my problem. just don't expect me to want to hear about it.
Is being bitten by a patient a common thing?
It can be, depending on the area you work in. This particular gentleman was both mentally disabled and developmentally disabled, so I couldn't really blame him for it.
Been on most of those except mellaril and lithium. I don't know if I was on effexor, though. Seems people often drug-hop.
This wasn't drug-hopping, this was a series of excruciatingly long trial sessions done by a psychopharmacologist, looking for a very specific result.
I wish she hadn't retired, she was good at what she did.
Furries: Freaks, or just misunderstood?
eh, long as whatever they're doing is safe/sane/consensual then it's all good. ain't my thing though.
How many different psyche drugs have you been on?
christ, what HAVEN'T I been on.. we went through everything from seroquel, mellaril, zoloft, lamictal, remeron, ativan, klonopin, even lithium before we got to effexor and it worked.
Had doubled it up with wellbutrin and that worked when it was the actual brand name drug but the Teva generic is really fucked up, the release rate is all wrong, STAY THE FUCK AWAY. That was.. unpleasant.
and yet right now i'm not on anything for psych at all unless you count the herbs and things.
Do you follow any webcomics?
Not really, there's a few I'll check now and again but nothing I'm dedicated to.
Effexor is a bitch of a drug. that and cymbalta I will never tough again
ugh cymbalta was a nightmare. NEVER touching that again.
you've obviously had some tough times in your life but remain what i perceive to be very warm. how do you do it? i'm sure having a child helps- yes?
I can be a cold bastard when it's really coming down hard, but yeah i think in several ways having to function as a parent has sort of forced me to stay open in ways I might not have otherwise.
Oddly enough, coming OFF medication seems to have helped a bit. I was on Effexor XR for something like eight years, and at the time I started it it did what it needed to, it saved my life. But I think I used it as a safety net too long, and it started blocking everything out -- all the good stuff. I couldn't write or draw anymore, nothing would come. So there's that as well.
Do you take any supplements?
When I'm in mind to, yeah. Bunch of herbal foo and vitamins and suchnot. Big one is SAM-e and vit. B together - apart they don't do much but taken at the same time they do a lot for you, physically and mentally.
Is there one thing you have - materialistic - that you cherish? Like a book, or trinket?
Hmm.
Most of it is jewelry that was given to me by people who're gone now.
Did you r get any disease scares as an EMT? Like from, being bitten by a patient or something?
yeah, I got bitten by a man who was a Hepatitis B carrier. That wasn't fun, I had to go through the whole series of freakin gamma globulin shots and I was out of work for two weeks because of it. I had other minor exposures but that was the only bad one.
Hardest part about being an EMT?
Inside politics in the department and bad pediatric calls. Two worst things ever.
Ps...you're the greatest thing since sliced bread. And I REALLY like bread, so :p
*grin* Lucky bread!
Who was your first favorite cartoon character?
Oh man. Derek Wildstar from Starblazers. Fuck I'm old...
I think you kick ass. Idk if it's because you're a Scorpio or because you're ~sane, lol, but we seem to have a lot in common <33
thankyou sweetie. Scorpio superiority BUT OF COURSE. ;) Glad to be getting to talk to you :D
You wanna know what I think of you? Aside from being the sort of mentor I needed in my life, I think you're creative and funny. There are things you just get that no one else does.
<3
I think you seem awesome :) and I look forward to us talking more in the future.
d'awh, danke. definitely lookin forward to talking more, from what I've seen of you around you seem neat :D
Guess that's why we understand each other so well then... never looked at it like that, to be honest
funny how that works, innit?
I'm sure you have impeccable taste in shoes. All right, since everyone's doing it, what do you think of me? Repost, etc, etc..
I see you in the same place I was in 2001-2003, just waking up to what'd been real all along. You gotta learn to drop things that drain you and listen to those around you. There's no nobility in holding on to something that's just dragging you down.
*poke* Whaddya think of meeeeee?
I like how you tell off all these anonyfucks who don't have the balls to put their names with their hating. You keep right on going being you and don't even let it slow you down, I love that.
Also, you gave us the Apex and therefore you ROCK FOR LIFE.
Yum, coffee.. haha, I wanna see this shoes Dani keeps talking about now!!!
lol, you gotta ask her, she's the one who dreamed she didn't like them XD
Oh! Oh! My turn! Go on, just how annoying am I day to day?
pshh, as if. we're too alike, you and I.
I'm way too afraid to know what you think of me so, although tempted, I won't ask.
I only bite if asked nicely, you know...
Joining in the bandwagon fun - tell me what you really think of me, then pass it on
Gaja, Gaja, Gaja. You're one of my absolute favorite new people to talk to. You're a parent, you get stuff other people don't, and you even know exactly how to mess with my head on occasion.. *cough*HATS*cough*. Thank you for being awesome!
-everyone's doing it- what do you honestly think of me? answer and repost to someone else. HA! AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!
You're one of the most driven people on here. You're going after what you want to do, how you want to do it, and two fingers up to whoever doesn't like it, and that's awesome.
Your shoes did not make an appearance in the wbmw apex video. Yes, I noticed, and I was a tad upset. How do you feel about this?
My camera just didn't pan down that far, and wearing them on my hands would've been a little too out there even for me. But I'll beg your forgiveness anyway!
I love the smell of Garnier hair stuff. I remember when my friend first introduced me to their hair stuff... Aah, I miss 2005.
Garnier got recommended to me years and years ago by a beautician on a Tea Party board and I haven't looked back since. House full of longhairs, you need something that WORKS...
How on earth did you get your hair to be so fab?
lol... <3
45 minutes of quality time with Garnier hair putty and extra hold spray, a blowdryer and a brush... Wouldn't have taken so long but I lent my flatiron out to someone and forgot i didn't have it so I had to improvise... it would have been more mohawk and less robert smith otherwise, ah well...
That was a horrible punchline yet it made me laugh. I think we're all masochists.
It's inevitable in that scenario.
Three virgos and an aries are in a band. Two of the virgos are twins, and the other is a drummer. What's the punchline of this joke?
ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES.
Ever eaten a coin?
Not that I remember. My brother swallowed a nickel once. They didn't seem to think it was a big deal...
What does Kangaroo taste like?
Game-y liver. Bit like venison. I probably wouldn't choose to try it again.
Do you have a favorite pair of shoes?
mm.. my motorcycle boots. which need a trip to the cobbler, bigtime, the heel's all worn down again.
Weirdest thing you've eaten? Drinks can count too.
Kangaroo? Idk... I've also done things like eat the piece of paper the credit card number was written on...
What keeps you going day to day? Is there a specific something that keeps you getting up in the morning and surviving day to day?
Pure, unbridled spite.
Ever walked out of a job?
Yeah, when I managed the music store during college and upper management pushed me one too far. Finished my shift and walked out.
If you could change one substantial thing about the world, and one petty thing, what would you pick?
Substantial... that all living things would be afforded the same respect and rights.
Petty... People who sing out of tune!!!
What's your favorite way to relax?
Get in car. Pick direction. Load up CDs, fresh pack of cigarettes, crank volume, drive.
Do you prefer tea, coffee, or a fruit juice in the morning?
coffee and diet coke... yes, at the same time.
Ever had to deal with helicopter parents? (I feel bad for people who work in schools for this reason)
Not as such, though I've seen them with other kids around Imp's life. Weirdness.
If you could observe two people, fictional or real, having sex, who would the two people be?
Uhh. Oh god. Can I plead the 5th here?
Ever heard of helicopter parents?
yeah.. hovering over everything. She can't stretch her wings if we're in the way like that...
Stef thinks Hank would work nicely as Alexx, y'know. Logan would work well enough as Frank. Emma as Callie, but less annoying. Throw in Jean as Marisol and you're doing pretty well. post 1am conversations get WEIRD around here.
I haven't watched enough of it in so long I wouldn't even know how to write much of the canon. All I have on DVD is Vegas...
Scott already wears the shades! Cyclops visor of justice!
*insert Daltrey Scream Of Dhoom here*
So, if requested, would you write an X-men/CSI Miami spoof? Cyclops would make an AWESOME Horatio.
oh lord. I've never written CSI anything, it could be pretty bad. But trying to give Scott one of Horatio's one-liners... oh dear...
Do you watch CSI Miami?
Not near as much as Vegas. I was more into Miami before the first coroner left, SHE was the absolute fucking bomb.
I watch Miami for Caruso for the cheeze factor. Vegas for perving on Grissom and Greg.
Do you like pools/oceans/lakes?
Scorpio = water sign...
Parents used to say I was part fish. Always been good at swimming, had lifeguard certification when I was a teenager.
I don't like ponds/lakes unless the bottom is sand.. stepping on the plants and squishy stuff just skeeves me right out.
Living in the Northeast one ends up with a weird relationship with the ocean, because good god the Atlantic is COLD up here, and yet any chance I get I'll be out in the waves, even if I'm turning blue.
Right now I have a fairly adversarial relationship with pools, because that's where they're doing my physical rehab since the drunk hit me, working in the pool to get my legs working again. It's not fun at all.
HOW DO YOU TIE YOUR SHOES? ;D
ROTFL you and my damn shoes. XD
Reeboks - Straightlaced.
Duty boots - Zipper, no laces
Bike boots - neither
I restate my question - ever been shopping in your pjs?
In said context? No. They kind of frown on that around here...
You fall down the rabbit hole.... what happens to you? How would you handle Wonderland?
I can start reverse-logic (and no-logic) talk with the best of them, so I'd probably fit right in. Probably end up taking over the place.
Do you have a particular song that reminds you or your daughter?
well.. there's some funny memories attached to Chop Suey by System of a Down, because when she was about two she would sing along to it in the back seat, right down to the screech.. it was creepy but funny.
What's a song that never gets old for you?
a-ha, The Swing Of Things. Came out when I was in like... 8th grade or something and I've never ever been able to get enough of it.
If you could have one thing from Tom's wardrobe, what would it be?
OhmygodHATS. HATS HATS HATS HATS,
If you were being executed, what would your final requests be? Meal? Would you ask for a priest?
meal, nah. I'd probably have been fasting the few days prior at least.
final requests... where to put my ashes, that kind of thing.
priest, sure why not, can't hurt right? hell i'd ask for a priest, a rabbi, an imam, one of each from as many faiths as I could get. Just to see and hear what they'd say or do.
If you were taking me out on a date, where would you take me and what would we do?
Ooooh... See, there's the trick. I'd spend a lot too much time figuring out what'd give you the best time out, where you'd have fun and stuff you'd want to go to or do or see and then spend another a lot too much time plotting and scheming to make it work out exactly right and still manage to sneak a surprise or two in there...
