Scribbles Hotspot!

Ok, its been over a week since a question has been asked and we've received no answer. Bick if you sign in and don't have time to answer the questions can you please elect someone else and we'll come back to you when you are more active on the boards. Thanks.

Since Bick hasn't had the time to browse the boards I'm going to elect the next victim until her return.

Let's go with: John. (I will message John, please let the questions flow.)

1. When in life did you know you wanted to be a writer? Why was writing your choice of profession?

I know its winter in some parts and a busy time for most but the forums have stalled and we do not want that this pace continues.

First off, if anyone has knowledge of Bick's whereabouts that would be very helpful. I remember her mentioning that she would be taking a short break from the internet but it seems she's dropped off the face of the earth. We just would like to know if she ok?

Second, I sent a message to John who seem to not want to be involved in the Hot Spot or whatever. I didn't receive a reply back. So we are going to have to go for another member, maybe one who has already been in the Hot Spot and would like to go a second time around. We know its still early in the game but hey we have to do what we have to do. If you volunteer, reply please.

Let's get the Hot Spot restarted please.

I've heard Bick saying that too, but it's like she disappeared. Like the earth would have eaten her. I miss her and hope that she is doing okay.

Btw, I'm volunteering to be on the Hot Spot again. Let the questions begin.

1. What was your first experience with death? How old were you? How did your parents, or other adults, explain it to you?

2. Do you have any regrets from this past year? If so, what are they and why are they regrets?

My first experience with the death was when I was 13 years old. I actually didn't really get an explanation. My brothers and sisters, my dad and myself were on the way to my dads house. Suddenly my dad stops at a kiosk, gets out the car and comes back with a newspaper in his hand. I found this sort of strange, because my dad never was the person to read newspapers. He turned the pages and handed the paper to me. I was looking at an obituary. It took me a while to figure out that my aunt died in a car accident. I was shocked and didn't know what to say. My sister grabbed the paper, and after she read it she started to cry. I was just shocked, and not one tear left my eyes. It was my brothers godmother, but he was too young to understand. When we arrived at my dads, he showed me the accident report in the newspaper. Reading how everything happened, reading that my aunt didn't have a change to survive and that she died right where the accident happened was horrible for me, and at night I was finally able to give my tears a go.

I'll never be fully able to explain how I felt when I saw her 'killer' in a restaurant a while later. He was drunk when the accident happened and persuaded my aunt to go with him for a ride. I was so extremely angry when I saw him over there on the other table, laughing and enjoying his life. I know now that I can't fully blame him, but then it was everything I could think of.

I don't have any regrets at all. I think that you should leave the past behind you and that you should always look forward. But when I look back, I see that whatever happened, couldn't have happened better. I am happy with everything around me, happy to be where I'm standing now and I'm looking forward to whatever the future is bringing me.

3) Where would you like to visit?Why?

I'd like to visit Australia. Not a certain city but the entire landscape. I'd like to see those big red rocks and maybe spend some time with the nowadays Australian Aborigines living out there.

My uncle went there a few years ago and he said it is beautiful. He showed me some pictures and even movies he did with his camcorder and it looked amazing. I always wanted to visit Australia, but since he showed me that certain place I knew this is where I wanted to go.

4. How do you think your life would have been different if you had been born a female instead of a male?

I'm sure my life would be a lot different. My mom always wanted to have a girl as her first born, so I'd probably be closer to her. She would have believed me when. whatever happened 8 years ago, happened.

I know that I'd be close to my dad as well, because he is a person I can always count on and who always helps if he can, doesn't matter if for his son or daughter.

Since I have a good relationship with my brothers and sisters now, I'm sure I'd have that as a girl as well.

So long story short; It would probably be different in many aspects of life!

5. If there was one thing your could begin again, such as a day in your life, or college or the day you wrote your first story, what would that day be and why?

6: Given the chance to become anything you wanted with out needing to really work at it (like race car driver, president, anything) What would want and why?

I think that would be the day I chose to work in an office. Since I want to open a restaurant, I can use all the business stuff I learned in college, and I also enjoyed working in an office, but I think I'd have been better off with a job I could have built things with my hands. I really enjoyed working with my dad on a construction site, installing heater and cutting all the tubes, making the way from the radiator to the central heater etc.

I think that'll be an actor without all the paparazzi. I'd like to play in a horror movie or a comedy, just to see how exactly it works and how it would be to actually see you on a big screen afterwards. I imagine that as pretty cool. I wouldn't want to have all the paparazzi though. Not having a private life, always followed by those guys. Nah, that wouldn't be for me!

C'mon C'mon people. I'm still waiting for 4 more questions before I can select another person to the Hotspot.

Ok question 7:

You have an envelope in your hand, with a lot of money in it like hundreds of thousands of dollars, and all you have to do to keep the massive amount of money is to keep up a and help perpetuate a lie that will hurt a bunch of people you most likely will never meet. (like for example, do an ad campaign for a product you know causes cancer)

Do you take the money?

No I wouldn't take the money. Money isn't worth hurting people and in my opinion, money can't make you happy!

8. Okay, you wouldn't take the money, but if you had some money, and by that, I mean enough to live well on, and had to pick a charity to give to, what cause would you make your donation to if any?

I would donate to a children's hospital. It is hard for me to see when a child is hurt, when it has a disease or illness which can't be, is hard to or takes long to cure. Some places don't even fully take care of it because the family don't have enough money. This is just terrible, because we are talking about a human being, a child, somebody who hasn't even lived his life yet, for God's sake. We can't change that we live in a rich and poor society, but shouldn't we all be treated the same when it comes to life or death? Since we are live the way we live, it will never happen that we all get the same treatment, and this is the reason why I would donate to a children's hospital!

Very good answer! I have another one.

9. Who do you see in the Superbowl and if so would you be willing to put money on the game? (This is not encouraging people to gamble. It's just a question.)

I see the Pittsburgh Steelers against Tennessee Titans in the Superbowl. They've had a great season so far and I'm sure that they'll come a long way. It'd be an awesome game if we had the two of them in the Superbowl. Both teams are great and that would be a game we haven't seen in a long time!

You didn't answer the if you'd put some money on the game. Is that a 'No'? I also see the Steelers making it but I think the Cardinals might forced their way to the top. Titans had a great season, no doubt about it, but that doesn't necessarily make them champions.
