zenelly1. Comment with "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
2. I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you.
3. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people.
1. An online friend starts to hit on you, ask you out, etc. How do you get him/her to stop?
Aha. Ahahahaha. Um. Typically? If it's creepy and I suddenly find myself not wanting to interact with said online friend AT ALL anymore? I'll just very quietly block them and drop them from my friends list. If it's not creepy/I'd rather keep them as a friend, I'd ask them about it and then politely let them down. If I wasn't interested, that is.
2. You're given the chance to go back to any time, any place. When/where do you pick and why?
Oh jeez. Um. Anywhere in the world before people showed up. Actually, specifically, Virginia before the English landed. Or the Black Hills before anyone showed up. I'd love to see unadulturated landscape.
3. Favorite quote?
Oh god, you keep picking things that I have multiple answers for. Here, let me give you the top ones that I can remember.
"The eternal quest of the human being is to shatter his loneliness." - Norman Cousins
"Not you any more shall be able to foil us, or withhold yourselves from us/ We use you, and do not cast you aside—we plant you permanently within us/ We fathom you not—we love you—there is perfection in you also./ You furnish your parts toward eternity/ Great or small, you furnish your parts toward the soul." Walt Whitman - Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry (Which I prefer by its original title of Sun-Down Poem)
"We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That’s as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect." Kvothe - Wise Man's Fear
"Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man’s will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself." Elodin - Name of The Wind
"It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die." Narrator - Name of the Wind
Alright, I think I should stop there. Otherwise, we'd be here all day. I'm not joking. At home, I have a document full of quotes. Just be glad it's not here with me right now.
4. The world's about to end and you only have time to play one video game. What do you pick?
Shit. I have to pick ONE? ....Actually, I'd pick Final Fantasy 8. I've never finished it, so the world would never end. ^^ But seriously, either that or Mass Effect 1 or 2
5. Melody or lyrics?
This is a tough one to answer. I play violin, you see, so I believe in the power of music to move people without words (not to mention that I listen to so much music that is in different languages so it's not like I understand most of it). But I also think that lyrics have the ability to punch people straight in the heart and make them BLEED for the song for how true it is.
Case and point, Being Alive from Sondheim's Company. (JFC, I'm serious, go watch it. Particularly Raul Esparza. He does such a fantastic job on it.)

Autumn <3
It's not too hot, not too cold, best time for making apple pie (my favorite), has a wonderful holiday atmosphere surrounding it, and the colors are BEAUTIFUL!
4. What flower do you associate with the color blue? (RANDOM QUESTIONS)
Forget me nots :D
I don't even know if they're blue.... I believe they are.... Huh. well, if they are not, I still oddly associate them with the color blue.
5. Who is your favorite person from history?
I think my favorite person from history actually has to be James Matthew Barrie or J.M. Barrie. Yup, the writer of Peter Pan. The story of Peter Pan has been something that has stuck with me ever since my mom read it to me as a small child. I would have loved to meet J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired the play.
WELL IT WAS WORTH A SHOT :D
