CB, I am afraid I have to stand you up for the "date" later in your evening. It is already 1 a.m. here and I'll be off to bed after this post. One problem is that last weekend continental Europe (CET zone) changed to our "summer time", thus the time difference to the east coast (EST) is not six, but now even seven hours. Don't know Mistress, err, Lady Epona, is it now 11 p.m. or midnight on your little island ? I went to the books forum and saw your recommendations, thanks. Will have to check my father's library for them. Btw, reading a book before reviewing it, what a revolutionary - and at the same time oldfashioned in the best way - concept ! Good night ! ------------------ So long ! R³ - Co-president(s) of the Club of Broken Hearts |

I think it's now 6 hrs from London time here. Goes back to 5 after we change our clocks this Saturday. Ahh, well, Ramon, mayhap we shall catch up on a weekend. I stay up late just to catch half of the European and Australian contingent on Friday and Saturday nights! Silly time zones, anyway...quite bothersome! Good luck in the apartment search.

Okay, since I'm new here, I'll go on and answer this one, too!
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BOARD MEMBER? At Ironworks or on General Discussions? I've been at Ironworks since November 2000, but have only started posting to General Discussions since March 20. WHAT'S YOUR REAL FIRST NAME? Paris. I'm not joking. GOT ANY ANIMALS? Five: 1 Welsh Corgi and 4 rats. APARTMENT, HOUSE, HIGHRISE OR TOWNHOUSE? Townhouse. ARE YOU RELIGIOUS? No. I am highly spiritual, but I gave up religion a long time ago. Please, no proselytizing efforts. I'm being as honest as I can be. BALL POINTS OR FELT TIPS? Felt tips. WHY DO YOU PLAY RPGS? To experience new worlds, to explore new ideas, and because it's fun. WHAT CAR/TRUCK DO YOU DRIVE? Cadillac. DO YOU CLICK ON ZIROC'S SPONSOR'S ADS? What ads? (oops!) WHAT KIND OF WORK DO YOU DO (OCCUPATION)? Teacher: computer networking (Novell, Windows 2000), and Web Design/Master. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC (COUNTRY, ROCK, POP, BLUES, CLASSICAL, ETC.)? Jazz first, then Rock. HOW MANY BROTHERS AND SISTERS? None, thank the heavens. WHICH IS BETTER, MOUNTAINS OR BEACHES? Beaches. IF YOU WENT ON "SURVIVOR," WHAT LUXURY ITEM WOULD YOU CHOOSE? Never watched the show, never will. CHIPS OR DORITOS? Doritos. WHAT WAS YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE (DREAMING KIND)? The kind where I'm being chased by a tornado and no matter what I do, it keeps tracking me, inexorably coming to destroy me...it never happens, but it's terrifying. WHAT DO YOUR FAMILY/FRIENDS THINK OF YOU SPENDING TIME ON THIS BOARD? Who's talking? WHAT'S YOUR TOP 3 FAVORITE GAMES OF THE PAST 2 YEARS? Wizards & Warriors, MM7, MM6 (if that one counts). DEATH PENALTY OR NOT? Not, for the most part. There's too many extenuating circumstances. I'm sure I'd feel differently if someone I loved or myself was personally involved . . .maybe. I'm not a "bleeding heart", BTW...I believe in giving the maximum penalty up to but not including death . . . but I don't think I could live with myself if I condemned someone to death and later found out that there was evidence that the person didn't commit the crime. I'd rather err on the side of Life. ARE YOU PLANNING ON STICKING AROUND ON THIS BOARD? Yes. -Sazerac [This message has been edited by Sazerac (edited 03-30-2001).] |

You asked how I am, and I think I will give the safe answer - fine - because the real answer is complicated. But really, I am fine. Yes, I learned Arabic. However, I have not used it in many years, so I recall only a little bit. What Arabic I hang on to is due to my husband, who speaks it with me sometimes. Oh - and I am not wanting "to shine as the princess of 1001 nights of this board". I am basically shy and uncomfortable with that kind of attention. I am interested in hearing about other people's experiences when they've been in foreign countries. Yorick's is so fascinating - other people surely have similar adventures to share! Glad to see you haven't totally disappeared Ramon. ------------------ Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness.

Bilqis, may I disagree ? Lovely ladies should be given a forum to shine in from time to time. I also think that everyone likes some - sincere - attention every now and then and if the right opportunity presents itself. I guess I understand what you mean when you are saying that the real answer on your well being would have to be more complex and complicated than a simple "fine" and I also respect that you choose not to go into more detail on that. I am always amazed - and mostly impressed - by the degree of frankness some members manage on very personal matters, but I myself couldn't really see me doing quite the same. But may I add that your answer in its earnestness - and do not get me wrong - struck me as remarkable "unamerican" ? Whatever that is supposed to mean ... Is your husband Arab then ? ------------------ So long ! R³ - Co-president(s) of the Club of Broken Hearts |
