Friends: Would you consider someone you only know from online as a "friend?"

Sex: eh I'm rather sexless ATM, so skip this one

Music: best music to listen to do while cleaning the house

Drugs: On a three point scale, with one being "totally cool with it" and three being "no, never ever cool with it" rate your feelings about recreational, occasional drug use a) for yourself and b) as practiced by people around you.

Love: Aside from that which is felt for pets, babies, and family; does it exist? Or can that-which-is-called "love" always be broken down to baser, more selfish desires?

Livejournal: I was meaning to ask this in another venue, but what do you call it when you combine plotlines and characters from two separate television shows into one story? I forget the term... Follow up question, have you ever seen the crime dramas The Shield and The Wire?

would you hit me if I said AZULA for all six

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

1. Yes.
3. Susumu Hirasawa's Girl in Byakkoya which I uploaded the other day
4. a) 2 b) 1
5. I don't understand people who question the existence of love in those terms. People love. A big part of that is selfish. So? I don't think you can deny that people love. Nor can I understand the big deal in separating romantic and sexual love from family, friendship and caring love. I mean, obviously, it's not really the same thing, but it crosses over, it's a continuum of many different feelings which don't always names and which end up being about love. I don't believe in love as a transcendental force or as an ideal. I think it can be selfish, self destructive, manipulative and twisted as well as uplifting and sweet. But I don't think you can deny that love exists.
6. Crossover.
I've never seen the Wire, although it's on my to do list. I saw a couple of episodes of the Shielf, it looked interesting.

1. *runsaway*
2. yes
3. She probably has a terrible voice. Not that anyone would dare to tell her.
4. She'd never do any, she likes to be in control of herself too much.
5. She thinks only fools do.
6. She can't believe so many idiots would lay so much incriminating material on the internet. And she wish Ty Lee would stop posting silly quizzes every two seconds on her flist.

eh those questions weren't meant to be definitive abstractions of my character or attitudes, I was just playing devil's advocate and satisfying some curiosity. or maybe I'm just in a drug doing, anti-love mood.

Shield is pretty good, but The Wire is amazing; an all around great drama. The Shield is airing it's last episodes ever in the next couple weeks though, and the writers have done an excellent job so far tying all the loose ends together. I was thinking it would make a great crossover because I find myself yelling at the screen again and again, "MCNULTY WOULD HAVE SOLVED THIS CASE BY NOW!!!" along with random bits of dialogue from The Wire.

I swear that show has ruined all other cop dramas for me.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lol sorry, I wasn't ranting at you, just... going on argumentative mode. I've been told I'm pretty agressive in my way of talking, but I don't really mean to be.

I don't really watch cop dramas nor have I ever really done so, so at least The Wire can't ruin me when I'll watch it XDD

1. Is there anything a friend might do (to someone else) you'd consider reason enough to break the relationship? I mean, any Moral Event Horizon or something you can't forgive?
2. How do you feel about prostitution? Hey, it is on topic.
3. Any kind of music you hate?
4. How do you feel about alcohol?
5. Do you believe any kind of love is 'higher' than other?
6. Eh. How did you end up here?

[metzhead.livejournal.com]

I would have pegged you as a fan of Dexter

and you're not that aggressive. no worries.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lol you're right, I'm very fond of Dexter. So, I'm wrong on there. I guess I wasn't really considering it as a cop show.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

1. It depends of the context, but I don't think I could remain friend with a murderer, a rapist or someone who'd violently attack or harass someone...
2. Huh. In what sense?
3. Metal.
4. Yes, please?
5. No.
6. The friendly people from the awesome All Things Philosophical on BtVS dragged me there :)

[solesakuma]

2. Eh, a general one. I mean, as a social problem. Do you think it's right? Wrong? Could be right?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

well, it's not simple. Who is right or wrong for? Most prostitutes do it out of desperation, and it's interlaced with various other social problems, from basic society's sexism, to drugs usage, racism, immigration and structural violence against women (and gays). I don't think it's good many people get dragged intentionally or not into that situation. I supposed they are some women who are in such position where they can basically do it because they want to, it's lucrative, and they're in control of the whole business - I don't see any problem with that.

1. Have you ever had one of those friendships that turn into "something more"?
2. Do you like to be dominant, submissive, or switch it up?
3. Are you a good singer?
4. What are your thoughts on medicinal marijuana?
5. Have you ever had your heart broken?
6. Who was your first LJ friend?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

1. Diane. Met her in my first year of high school in gym class, we bonded over X Files and the hotness of Kritchek. She was the Ryanne to my Angela which is to say she was totally crazy. We had good fun. She got into Law when we reached the college years, and we lost touch.
2. Never done any. I'm not against, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy one, personally, because I can react very badly to people touching me when I don't know and trust them well. Then again I do find the idea hot in that id-scratchy way.
3. Hell if I know. The 90's on account of being the time I was growing up and paying attention, maybe?
4. I don't think it does anymore, or not so much, but it certainly used to.
5. I don't think I could date someone I'd found yucky, but no problem with someone I'd found average or plain in a friendly way; provided I'd found their personnality sexy.
6. right now it's westerosorting but that's subject to frequent change :)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

1. Most of my SOs started out as friends.
2. Sub. And it really cracks me up that you asked. XD
3. No, I'm not. It doesn't stop me, though.
4. Why the hell not.
5. Never in a romantic way.
6. rahael, I think. Or some of the other people from AtpoBtVS which I mentionned above.

[deeplyunhip.livejournal.com]

And it really cracks me up that you asked. XD

Lol, well, I wanted to know!
