By the way that outfit is lovely, soft and sexy.

Thanks.

All of my addictions honestly revolve around food; candies mainly. I smoked a bit in high school and the year or so thereafter, but I gave it up simply enough. I do drink on occasion, but can't recall at the moment when the last "occasion" was. I'm thinking it might have been around a year ago. We don't keep booze in the house. But every time I go do the shopping its a a battle for me not to buy candies.

And just to be clear this isn't some flippant answer I'm giving while stuffing my face with candy. I do actually take this situation rather seriously and understand that if I allow it to go unchecked it'll kill me just as quickly as smoking a pack a day or getting drunk every night. And I've been doing a lot better over the last couple of years with controlling my craving and consumption.

I can fully respect that addiction and understand what you are talking about.

Next Question: 5:

You have ended up needing pay more then you could afford (legal matters, the money was taken from you by the nice people from the state building) and now you have to beg for money to keep the 'roof over your head'.

Who do you go to? (and why)

I want to say my dad, because he has lost of money. He "inherited" quite a bit of it when my grandparents passed away a few years back and hasn't managed to burn through it all yet. But him and I don't speak and I pretty much hate his guts; mostly over some questions I have about how exactly he came to inherit everything when I was expressly told by my grandparents several times that I was suppose to get half and there was a will stating as much... I guess I should have become best friends with the family lawyer too.

So, most likely I'd just go to one of my old friends who's literally like a sister to me. I know if things ever got that bad she'd help me out or take me in, no question.

That was... painful to read. Sorry to hear that Hydra.

Question 6: You are in the supermarket, you see an old high school rival of yours, now married to a rich man, and looking good.

What do you do?

Laugh. Because my only high school rival was a guy named Wayne and he was a redneck type and extremely homophobic and racist. So, If I saw him out and about with his rich husband I'd likely piss myself laughing.

I suppose expecting anything even remotely normal from you Hydra is too much to ask.

Anyway. Next Question: #7:

If you are happy with your job, you can ignore this question and just say you are happy with your job.

But if not, then: What carrier changes do you want to make in life. I mean realistic ones, not "I want to write" or something like that. But a realistic carrier change, and what is stopping you from accomplishing it?

Honestly, the changes I'd like to make in my life are all personal, as in involving my personal life verse career. And the only thing holding me back from making those changes are responsibilities and distance, though career is slightly tied in to it.

Ok that is question 8 then. :: Evil Laugh! ::

There's is no way I can answer the question more in depth without possibly divulging information about folks who'd rather I not. That's one of the main reasons I don't talk too specifically about my romantic and home life, too much of a chance for there to be hurt feelings... and it's not all that interesting of a story really.

You can ask another question instead, if you want.

Fair enough.

How is your book coming along?

Slowly.

I'd hoped to have my own personal revisions done last month and have it off to my editor, but decided the ending needed some reworking. This has basically meant rewriting the last four or five chapters, but I've made some wonderful progress the last couple of days and might actually have the rewrites finished by the weekend. Then it's just a matter of going through and editing and re-editing what I got.

By my count you guys still have two more questions. So, let's have them.

9. What would you do if a giraffe wanted to have a party with you?

Call local law enforcement, because obviously someone has slipped me something.

10. How many ideas, stories, or poems are you working on at the moment?

Besides the book series, which is like ten in one almost, I have three ideas for poems I'm trying to get written, and the first story in an online erotica series I'm hoping to get kicked off by the middle of the month. This last one is something I've been wanting to do for awhile, but have only recently found the inspiration for. It will be pure smut plain and simple. Well, maybe not "simple". I don't like things that are too simple, but it won't have any social importance or redeemable qualities just lots and lots of sex.

Okay, well that is it for me. Our next victim will be....

fleamailman

I think it might be fun to have the goblin answering questions, but of course fleamailman is welcome to answer as himself if he so wishes

Okay, I'll ask the first question of fleamailman.

1. Why did you choose a goblin to represent you as your online self?

Question 2:

What is your Arch Nemesis.

the goblin showed up from his lunchtime bistro, his escape from that cold Winter's reality there in Geneva had at least been merited he felt by, not so much by what his real life offered however secure and comfortable that might in fact be, but more because of what his real life couldn't offer, "...so where is there any adventure in being this human on the Internet..." the goblin uttered, therefore he had to have a mask he knew but that that mask had to be total for it to work that is, simply, as the goblin believed in it, others would believe in it too for such was literature he felt, and yet when one says the word "goblin", the goblin knew that most people here on line would be thinking of some mythical creature from those fantasy worlds of Lewis or Tolkien, whereas if they actually googled under the term "fleamailman", they would find out that other meaning of goblin, that of "a person who mends computers", and with that the goblin's mind went back to the cave where he had worked for the Great Ork as a repairman, "...ah, you see, I was a goblin before I went "on line" here, so it's an easy personage to portray since it's partly based on the truth, while in part I play with the misunderstanding too..." mentioned the goblin who was never really satisfied by his replies first off, "...next time I will answer this question better, promise..." voiced the goblin knowing, that for a first attempt, his reply needed rewriting

the goblin, having posted his first reply above, turned his attention to the second question then, "...simply anything that stops me posting here..." ventured the goblin, continuing "...first off, there is drowning in "dailylife", then there's those pranks of the "whyly dislexsick fairy", oh and there's those editorial constants of the admins to work under, or around, if it is worth staying on that is, then there's those baseless heckles on "last post" threads usually by the very person least able to post there who simply wants to play "I win/you win" till the cows come in from reading "war and peace" backwards under a blue moon, um so to speak..." mentioned the goblin thinking the list was rather extensive, or becoming so at least, continuing "...come to think of it that muse too goes on holiday at times, which is fair enough I guess, since anyone as wacky as her must find "dailylife" stifling for sure ...", in which case the goblin just posted on without her for, to him, nothing mattered but posting on, "...either way, life has to be lived and the slot has to be fed, or what's the point I wonder..." concluded the goblin used to learning from his Nemesis far more than from when things are going as planned he felt

4. If a muffin began talking to you, what would you do?

new day, and the goblin showed up again seeing the latest question, "...well, I am reading every reply that shows up in the "latest topics" window here daily, but I feel my role is to grow members as they come, which really means listening to them, not without comment but without judgment, for two reasons, one, that the member base here is still small, and two, that in preferring one thing, one inversely says that the other is not as good..." ventured the goblin, adding "...so without naming "who" and "which", I'll just repeat that there is some very good stuff on this site if simply because it is alive, as in "unpublished", with its authors actually on tap to question if one so wishes to...."
