Jocabia: we want pics

Hmmm... I don't know. For what do you wish these pics? I'm not sure I can send you pictures of me and encourage you to mistreat your bodies. I have a code of ethics to uphold.

Even a Ford can be made to perform when you add the right stuff! :D

Questions!!!!!!!!!


Eutrusca: what is one of your fondest memories as a child?

I have a question for anyone who wants to answer - how did you find NationStates?I was reading some of my LiveJournal friends' entries one day and one of them had created a country and posted a link to it. I checked it out and got interested, so I created Sarzonia. Now, his country is long-ago defunct but here I still am, in the top 70 of posters on NS! :D

Alright, I found a semi-recent photo (about a year old). What should I do with it?

Ford? Chevelle? Pah. MOPAR or no car, ladies and gentlemen.

I've missed you all day lover....where have you been? Its just not as fun to fondle without you around.



Jocabia: we want pics

and yes, Jocabia, we DO want pics!

Alright, I found a semi-recent photo (about a year old). What should I do with it?

CNtoaN....what were you like in high school and who was the worst teacher you ever had?

or that.

or that.

It's the last entry in the pic thread. Or you can see it here - http://img52.echo.cx/img52/7750/mvc001s9nh.jpg

Incidentally, my name is not Ian. I'm an amateur actor. Also it's a little old so I'm about fifteen pounds lighter in that pic (muscle, erm, mostly) and my hair is longer in the pic.

it's working for me

ARGH!!! This server is killin' me.

CNtoaN....what were you like in high school and who was the worst teacher you ever had?
I was a band guy, played saxophone. I had the aforementioned Malibu which could carry a lot of people around, so I did that a lot. I had (have?) a lot of charm so I got a lot of people to do things for me and ate a lot of free lunches. I kinda look back on that as sort of evil, like I was taking advantage of Lahtas* or something. I was also starting to get pretty cynical. There where chicks who didn't want to date me but didn't want anyone else to date me either-I have no idea what that was all about. I've never re-examined that issue since. I felt like I was 'outside' a little, but really everyone knew who I was and even now (I'm 33) everyonce in a while someone I never knew will come up to me and talk about high school. I got on with the picked on guys and the people from other 'groups.' I think it was the sax and the big ass car. I can't think of much else.

The worst teacher was a 'born again' history teacher that spent most of his time ridiculing different cultures and beliefs. He started describing Hindu beliefs and my hindu friend started laughing his ass off because the teacher had put up the social class second from the bottom as the god that hindus believed was formed of all the gods. My friend ended up teaching that days lesson. He was just horrible. The other contender would be the anti-band math teacher. For some reason he just had it in for musicians. I think his wife ran off with a horn player...

*William S. Burroughs describes Lahtas as someone who would do what ever you asked them to if you could get thier attention.

i think you grease monkeys need to start a car engine whatever thread. thats like foreign language to most people.
i dont have a lot of questions, i prefer to find out things about people by way of conversation. however- one person on here, does this weird thing to my brain.
Cannot Think of a Name- i would like to know as much of your "story " as you would like to share. (the adult life) you seem terribly smart, pensive, and endearingly earnest, yet lackadasial and aloof. pretty cool. tg me if you want.

Ask me a question :rolleyes:

Ask me a question :rolleyes:
okay.
a question??? there you go .

nah..who are you? age/sex/ country.
explain your nation name.
what are your hobbies.

Ask me a question :rolleyes:
Does your signature mean that people should only smoke pot as a last resort? Like when all other options fail and you have nothing left to try, smoke pot? Or does it mean 'smoke it like was the last antidote,' like smoke it like it is the only thing that can save you at anytime?

I'm all flush.

While I have started to make a sort of career esentially talking about(or, making fun of) myself, thats still kind of a tall order. You'd have to be more specific.

I'm not sure where I got the impression, but are you in California or from California (born and raised or transplanted, or live in California at all). Does an embalmer work with a specific agency, department, company or is it a seperate service? I guess I could find those out in the 'ask an embalmer' thread, now that I think about it.

i got into nationstates because after i read a book or watch a movie i like to understand it and even if there's not much to understand i want to kind of discuss it and see what other people think. i remember that sometimes many many years ago i bought a pc game and i remember reading the review of it at least 5 times even when i had the game and had played it for long time already, it's odd :)

anyway so i read the 1984 by george orwell and then i went to wikipedia, the free online dictionary (http://www.wikipedia.org) and read what they said about the book. i saw a link to a page which showed names of other dystopian novels, (i enjoy dystopian movies and novels really much), and one named popped to my eyes, it was called 'jennifer government'. i pressed the link and the page opened describing the book and when it said that it's a funny satire about the mega corporations i thought it would be a good read because it resembles somewhat to my views of the world too. on the same page there was a link to this nationstates game because it's made by the author max barry and i pressed the link and thought that because i've my views of my utopian country it would be nice to try to make that country in the game and then i got hooked up, and i'm afraid i can't stop anymore :D

so my questions

Jocabia, as somebody already questions how is your family like, how was your family life in your youth, when did you start creating leftist ideas? do you think the leftism was always in you or did you just figure it out logically?

and Dakhistan, what do you do for living? what are your hobbies, excluding nationstates ;)?

i'm also available for questioning

Liberaregno: since you're new here, why don't you just tell us a little about yourself, where are you from, what do you do, etc

well i gotta say i'm probably the youngest in the forums :). i'm "only" 16 years (well in 2 weeks, 30th of april, 17) old but i think even i'm too old already. i would give anything to get back to the first grade, i have so many things i would like to change, at those times you didn't have to care about almost anything and you didn't have to do any great choices affecting the whole of your future life or think about anything big.

well something about my history: when i was 1 year old little boy my father shot himself. he was a really big drunk only and even though he did have a pretty good job as the, as far as i know, the kind of manager of a city owned electro house whatever...sad when you think how much i really know about him. but i never really missed him, well i did, but not anymore. it's not such a big thing for me because i never really got to know him, i never lost anybody, and i'm not very sensitive about it but i like to talk about it with everybody. i guess when i was younger nobody really asked me how i felt about it. i don't mean that you now should or should not ask or talk about it, i'm just trying to analyse myself :)

so the father part wasn't bad about my youth but the bad thing was that i also had a three years older Big Brother, literally, who remember dad and he was somewhat disturbed about the thing so that when his pre-school started he told it to everybody because he wanted to unburden himself but everybody else had a father and everybody thought he was a crazy guy and he has been teased for that in school as long as i can remember. he just finished his second degree school so that he's not teased anymore nor was he teased when he was in the second degree school but anyway he was an outcast with some friends but he wasn't very popular.

so the even more shitty part was that the one's burden became another guy's burden too when my big brother took his anger on me. i got beaten so ... many times. my nose's a little bit crooked, and i hate it when somebody meantions it. i'm pretty okay with myself but that part i just cannot accept in me and that's a part i hate in myself. i'm a really open-minded, acceptable guy and i want to accept everybody as they are. but i know that if i can't accept myself i can't accept others, so i still have a long way to walk. anyway during the worst periods of my life (i guess the worst was the 5th and 6th levels in school), i was really close to killing myself and only my cowardness "saved" me. anyway i have still cuts in my hand for it and i like them too. anyway if ppl ask me where do they come from i say a kitten or something stupid like that. why i like them is that even though they are ugly, whenever i watch my left hand i cannot forget my past, and i can always be proud of how i have come to this point of life from the hell i used to live in.

anyway when i was in the deepest period of mine this angel saved me. i can still remember it. i walked on the school corridor and then i noticed this angel. a girl, so so so happy, she was smiling so prettily, i felt it changed everything and i still do think so. i also wanted to be pretty, happy as she was and i tried to learn smiling. i remember trying it in front of a mirror, i only could grin. whenever i tried to smile happily it just turned into a vicious grin but anyway i didn't care about it. i wanted to learn smiling and i just grinned even though i didn't feel good at all. anyway as the time went on the smile started to come naturally and soon i was the happiest guy in my class (years had passed. i heard that i was the "delight medicine" always having fun and smiling when i was in the 7th grade)...anyway part of this positiviness has worn out but even now i'm extremely positive guy, usually at least. i usually find the positive things out of everything.

anyway my family life has never been easy or good and, well this is a long story, but after getting tired of the constant beatings (i remember that as young as in the 3th grade i hoped to move away from home) and the constant fear and the constat fights between my mom and my big brother. so when i got involved in some pretty light drug things and my friend got caught and well my mom got to know and that was when my mom understood it would be better for me to live alone. so i moved to my own apartment in another city and i'm currently studying my first grade of the second level school in vaasa, finland. i still see my family almost every weekend but everytime i come back to home to see them i remember why i moved.

there's so much i could tell. sad and funny stories, as with everybody of course. well something about my hobbies: at the moment the only hobby i really have is dancing. i dance in some "competitive dances" so that we dance latino and "basic" dances or so. i haven't practiced it for long, only some six months or so but i find it really fun. i used to dance in my youth also but, there's also a sad story to that, i was a damn idiot and i quit it, i so wish i had continued, not only for myself. i'm pretty sensitive guy, compared to "normal" guys in my age group. it's not that i cry much (at least in public) but sometimes when i think about sad things in life, or think about the disadvantaged people (i'm really glad i saw (long time ago) a dream about the iraqi war and i just cried and cried in that dream. i'm proud of it since i think it shows something about my personality).

i consider myself some kind of anarcho-communist. i'm an atheist but you gotta believe me that once i was a really christian and i have also been satanist and a nazi and a...nowadays i hate nazism. btw i'm 1/4 indian myself too. but i bet my thoughts just evolved because i was beaten so much that i can't stand anymore if a weaker is oppressed.

i like tragic ends in movies.

what about you? something about your personal life that you could share with us?

wow, sounds like you had a tough time when you were younger, I'm glad you came through it though. And you aren't the youngest by a long way, you'd be really surprised at the ages of some people on here (especially if you read through the debates), i'm only 17.

I had a pretty easy childhood, i used to spend a lot of time at rally car races cause my dad used to sponser a guy called Matt Neal (who's doing pretty well for himself now) and the rest of my time i was usually at the airport with him watching the Red Arrows and learning how to fly, then when i was about 11 life decided to hate me, my Grandma died then my Grandad (who i was really close to) died, then my dad's business set on fire and we had money problems for a while then my dad got ill and died when i was 14, i thought about killing myself at one point but realised i was being stupid. I finished school, started 6th form college then quit a couple of months ago cause i didn't like it, at the moment i'm not doing anything but hopefully in September I'm gonna go into nursing

Anyone have questions for me? (including some I may not have seen elsewhere on this thread)

in the meantime, some stuff about myself..

I'm 20, i live off my parents, I'm a night owl (sleep during the day, be on NS at night), I'm single (and a virgin thankfully), I have no friends other than on the internet, I'm hearing impaired with severe hearing loss (and I hear it's getting worse *cries*), clinically depressed (an ongoing depression that started at birth), multiple scoliosis (an s-shaped curvature in my spine), I see a therapist every once in a while, i'm 5'2" at 100 pounds, my birthmother left me when I was just 3 months old and was adopted at two, as a kid I was hell on two feet (mwahahaha!!! :D), VERY reclusive, i flunked out of college because of too much procrastination and I'm now on social security, I had major jaw surgury last August on the 10th (they cut my lower jaw in 3 spots and took a piece of my hip bone and put it in my chin), I'm now missing 2 teeth because of it (they had to be pulled out a few months after the surgery), no job, very lazy, and i've been suicidal sometimes (the worst was when I went to my high school's catwalk and considered "ending it all" which put me into a 72 hour trip to the mental clinic). To top it all off, i hardly spend time with my family anymore, except during dinnertimes and outings and trips.

This isn't too much info, is it?

*me waves*

FairyTInkArisen, i'm really really sorry for you. it might sound funny coming out of my mouth but it must be tough losing you father. i think fourteen is probably the worst age to do so. and also to lose all of those you loved. i can't even imagine because i have always hated all my relatives. there are only one branch of my relatives whom i don't hate and they are the ones coming from india, though i've never been there. i've only seen those who have moved to germany, that is, my gradnpa and her wife and his son, my uncle, god i like him, and his sons who are just a little kids. i like everybody of them as much i hate everybody else of my relatives.

so that when my grandpa's wife died i was pretty sad and sorry for her and him but i hadn't seen her but once or twice so i didn't know them that well and we didn't have a great relations because of that.

so anyway my point is that, i couldn't even imagine the pain you must've felt inside you. i'm really sorry for you.

i hope everything's going better for you. if you want to telegram me, feel free, i would be more than pleased to get to know you better

pretty funny that i said to you that i'm probably the youngest and you happened to be almost the same age as i'm.

so you live in britain? but you're gonna move to new zealand, how come? :)

*me waves*
*waves back*???........

*waves back*???........

:-D Sorry, just a random "Hiya."

holy shit plutonian empire, you must have also had a really sad life. soon we gotta build a club for the saddest guys in ns. i'm really sorry for you.

excuse me what's a catwalk?

btw you said that you're a virgin thankfully. it's not like i would think that everybody should just have sex and sex and sex but may i ask why do you say thankfully? why not?

how's your parents?

are you happy with your life, so that you're still not thinking about suicide? i really hope you enjoy your life.

it was really hard and i miss him loads, I know there's gonna be times in the future when I'm gonna get upset about not having him around like when i get married and have kids but for now i just remember the good times, we were really close and did loads of stuff together so i have lots of good memories and they usually make me smile.

thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind

I want to work abroad for a few years, I'd mainly like to spend some time in NZ and Canada, plus maybe Aus and the states, I'll come back to Britain eventually cause this is my home, i just think that there's so much to see in the world and i don't want to miss out, if i could afford it I'd go all over the world

well all i can say is that us lot here on NS are always here for you (and we like you too, well, I do at least) :)

What's a catwalk? kinda hard for me to explain... basically, it is an open-air "bridge" inside the building, that connects to the wall. I currently don't have no pics of it. sorry :(

Why did I say thankfully? "cause, as much as I'd LOVE to just get laid, i'd much rather wait for that one mate that I would spend the rest of eternity with. I'm as monogamous as a wolf, i would say.

Oh yeah, some more stuff. My grandpa died in 1994, and when I was a naughty kid, my father once or twice went a little overboard with the punishments (soap in mouth for foul language, etc) in my entire life. Then mom would yell at him afterwards :D

I'd like to ask Refused Party Program what kind of fools he takes us all for. He's clearly not Swedish.

FairyTInkArisen,

btw sorry for me being such a snooper but i saw your picture in the 'ns player picture' thread and god in one of the pics you looked a little like my former girlfriend. and when i thought about it. she was also a briton and her father had also died in illness. that's a really grrrred up story. he died because he was working in the RAF as a pilot and they were operating with those bombs which include depleted uranium and he got enough of the radiation. ARRGGHH!

so for some time i thought that 'my god...' but then i noticed that hey, you aren't exactly the same looking as my old gf + other facts, so...i'm a pretty stupid or then i get carried away with my odd thoughts and forget the reality.

btw, where does your name come from?

in December '03 i had a job in a cafe and my boss made me dress up like a fairy over christmas and new year (I pretended that i hated it but i loved it really lol) and my friends called me The Fairy Tinkerbelly (cause my name is Elly) then Jan 1st '04 my friend told me about NS and i spent like an hour trying to think of a name before finally coming up with The Queendom of The Fairy Tinkerbelly, then in Dec '04 I got deleted for being a tad bit naughty on the forums but i came back and called myself FairyTinkArisen cause everyone here calls me Tink and i stole the Arisen from an old nation that had a habit of getting deleted. Not a very interesting story lol, what about you?

hey i think how we can be sure:

Refused Party Program:

pratar du svenska? jag har läst mig svensk för ett år men jag tror att jag är jättebra ändå, eller kanske just för den skull. jag har nämligen varit i svensk miljön eftersom jag flyttat till en andra stad när det finns många många svenskspråkig och jag studerar i en svenskspråkig skol. det är jättesvart men jag bara måste liva. jag säkert hoppas att du kan förstå svensk så att jag skrivit de inte förgäves :p

plutonian empire:

heh, i remember that i have also got to "enjoy" the same treatment once when i cursed in the kindergarten, i remember that place wasn't that nice anyway because i remember sitting for six hours in the lunch table because i couldn't get myself to eat the awful mess they gave us. it was really awful since everybody else got to play but i had to sit on the table.

i think that was a really great story :). i wish mine was also but it's a really boring one. it seems everybody else has some fancy funny name or the story behind their name but i guess mine's the most boring one:

like i told in one post, i have this idea of my utopian country, sometimes i'm almost crazy with my megalomania :p. people always ask me and everybody else at my stage of life that 'what are you gonna be when you grow up?' and i hate that question since i don't really know. usually i say that i'm gonna be a boozy or a mine worker or so. i think for real i would like to be a politician or a lawyer or a radio guy or an actor or...anything great, see the pattern? :D. nah, not anything great, i just want to do something where i can speak for my cash and so that i can use my brain. anyway so i sometimes thought that in my utopian country there wouldn't be an official language but a one language as the "service language" basically having the state of the official language but the point is that this language would be some made-up language like esperanto so that it would be extremely easy to learn and wouldn't discriminate anyone. it would be easy to integrate to the society and everybody would have to learn that language because it's no-ones native language.

anyway so when i started playing this game i didn't know i'm gonna chat in the forums or anything i just thought i'm gonna make have a try at my utopian country even though i knew it would be impossible to fully have it in the game. so i thought the name of the land should be in esperanto and i took up a dictionary and the liberaregno is in fact two words libera regno, the free state. that's about my craziness :D

anyway i don't know esperanto but once i have enough time i'm gonna study it, since i want to concentrate in one foreign language at the time which i don't know and currently i'm studying swedish. then i'm gonna study spanish and then i guess german (i so want to learn german because i want to communicate with my little cousins when they grow up) or esperanto or...

btw about those cousins, i really like them. i would give anything if i just could be a big brother of someone. i would like to be the best possible big brother in the whole wide world because i had so shitty brother that i almost killed myself. i don't want anyone to go through that and i could kind of pay it as being the best big brother in the world. i'm really sad i can never do it :(.
but i've thought about getting a girlfriend and then kind of being nice to her little siblings :D

Det gör ingenting , kamrat. Studerande Svensk skulle oproduktiv till min målarna. Jag förstådd mycket liten om vad du skrev.

varför så?

I've barely read any of this thread.

Has anyone asked me anything yet?

i love learning languages, it'd be really cool to learn esperanto, i wanna learn Russian though first


well 4 of my siblings are younger than you, i could give you one of them lol

I've barely read any of this thread.

I'll start. Who are you? (and don't start by telling us what you do for a living).

I'll start. Who are you? (and don't start by telling us what you do for a living).

I'm a 19 year old male from Wellington, New Zealand. I live at home and work 20-30 hours a week at the local hell (www.hell.co.nz) shop. I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm going to do, and seem to have large motivational issues.

well 4 of my siblings are younger than you, i could give you one of them lol

:fluffle:
owww, you're so nice...can i get to pick, can i get to pick? i choose then youngest i choose the youngest!

thank you come again!


btw i have a few russian friends and i think it would also be really interesting to get to know russian, but i don't think i'll have the time or the brain capacity anymore, since the following are already in my list: finnish (native), english, swedish (i'm very very bad but i know the basics, i thought that i could move to sweden at some point because i'm in love with the country and i could then learn the language properly), spanish, esperanto, german, french and ARAB...i'm really interested in learning it and it's my top priority but i can't study it just yet but at some point in my life. but i don't think i can learn all of them, guess i have to drop... a few :)

yes so my point was that my russian friend said when i was interested in russian she said that it would be really tough to learn it :(

btw why are you interested in russian? in finland many people aren't very interested in russian, in fact they're feeling hatred against the russians because we have had some problems with them in our history. i think it's really stupid to have hatred to them, because the people didn't get to choose to attack finland, the crazy dictators planned up everything and besides, it has been so long already, we could forget everything already.


monkeypimp, the classical: where did you get your name from?

good choice! Penny is very cute and sweet, just as long as you can cope with her constant singing and dancing around :rolleyes:


wow, that's a lot of languages, i speak English (native), french, spanish, a bit of german, i used to do latin but i really don't know much anymore and i can say i love you in about 10 languages. I'm not sure why i want to learn Russian, i just think it would be a challenge and i like a good . And yeah, i think it's a little silly to hate people because they were born in a country that their country had problems with years ago.

i didn't mean i know those languages, they are just err...on the list that i would know well, when i wrote i lost the point :D. but the point was i only know
finnnish, english, some swedish, very minimal german. but then there are many languages that i would like to know. hmm let me try: 1.mä rakastan sua, 2.i love you, 3.jag älskar dig, 4.ich liebe dich, 5.je t'aime (or so), and that's all. i'm not that international in love business :D

about Penny, well i also like dancing and the singing part is only positive because then we both have something to teach to each others. i would so much like to know how to sing since i can't play any instrument, it seems today everybody plays something. and i like singing when i'm alone but i can't do it if there's even anyone listening to me because i'm so wack at it.

so how many siblings do you have, are you the oldest? how's your mom btw then? funny if we think about my ex again, she also had really many siblings, some she hadn't even almost ever had seen.

i have 7 (5 are my stepdads kids though), I'm older than my actual brother and sister but with my step siblings included I'm in the middle, which feels kinda weird after being the older bossy one for so long lol. and what do you mean 'how's my mum?'?

ah, well i just thought, well now i have to drag her here again, so i was just thinking about my ex and her mom was really ugly to her, even though she had had to endure so much bad things in her life. so i thought that because you had lost your grandpa & grandma and your dad that how would your mom be then? like is she nice to you? if you're okay with talking about it, how did she react when your dad died? my mom became a machine for 10 years until she found her life again. it's awful to think. of course you don't have to answer if you find it bothering, i'm just honestly interested.

my mom said to me once that you can ask anything if you're interested and honest :p

my mum's lovely, she'd do anything for me and my brother and sister, I love her to bits. When my dad died she was heartbroken naturally, i know she still gets upset about it, and i try and give her a hug to cheer her up a bit if i see her looking a bit down but she's a lot like me and tends to hide her emotions, she doesn't often cry in front of me except every now and again we have a big old cry together which always helps. she got together with my stepdad about a year after my dad died, he's an old friend of my dad's and was a good friend to my mum when she needed it, i think he's a complete idiot and avoid him as often as possible but he makes her happier so i put up with him.

GATA: same question as Hak....describe an evening with a girl who is very special to you.

Jocabia, as somebody already questions how is your family like, how was your family life in your youth, when did you start creating leftist ideas? do you think the leftism was always in you or did you just figure it out logically?

Hmmm...

I have four siblings, two brothers and two sisters. boy, 36, boy, 35, girl, 31, me, 30, girl, 29. My parents were both married previously and my two older brothers are from my mother's prior marriage. Until I was 11, my oldest brother lived with his father, so I didn't really know him until then.

My father has a son I've never met and whose name I don't even know. I know he's older than either of the two brothers I know. My father's ex-wife ran off with their son shortly after the divorce and my father made a little effort to find them and then gave up.

I think there a lot of people who would look at my childhood as sad, but I don't really remember it that way. First, because there is a major portion of the world's population that had it worse. Second, because I like who I am now and my childhood is a major part of that.

I was fairly poor for most of my life. When my sister was nine she got very sick and it threw us deep into poverty even though both of my parents had jobs and we had good insurance (long story). My sister recovered but my parents only recently recovered financially.

When my oldest brother moved in, my two older brothers started torturing me and I was very nearly removed from my family by DCFS. Instead, I moved in with my uncle and his family and he changed my life. I became a straight A student and started to get some of the rage I had under control. I moved back in with my family a year later. Fortunately, I had a HUGE growth spurt and suddenly my brothers were a little more kind to me. As soon as I could I graduated, left for the military and the rest is history.

I don't consider myself leftist, and except for on here, I've never been called that. My views most align with Libertarians on a federal level because I believe in a constitutional (smaller) government. I take each issue as it comes and I try to weigh it with my experience and any information I can find on the subject. My parents and siblings disagree with me and each other on almost any political subject, so I didn't get my views from there. I do think my parents, grandparents and uncle taught me to think critically and this is certainly how I have come across my views.

Sorry for the long answer, it was a lot of questions.

EDIT: What specific issues are you referring to when you call me leftist? Perhaps with that information I could answer better.

I'm a very casual person. But to tell you the truth I had an evening with a very special girl last night. We went out for a drink, we had a few drinks, played a bit of pool (I even let her beat me once ;) ). I walked her home then went home myself knowing that we had a very enjoyable evening :)

Thats no match for my 15 years of hustling experience. ;)



RACK 'EM!

Thats no match for my 15 years of hustling experience. ;)



RACK 'EM!
if you in my area i'll give you a lesson ok ;) ?

I'm all flush.

While I have started to make a sort of career esentially talking about(or, making fun of) myself, thats still kind of a tall order. You'd have to be more specific.

I'm not sure where I got the impression, but are you in California or from California (born and raised or transplanted, or live in California at all). Does an embalmer work with a specific agency, department, company or is it a seperate service? I guess I could find those out in the 'ask an embalmer' thread, now that I think about it.
flush, like standing against the wall, flat? or like , lying prone, on your face, flush with the floor? hehhehehe.
or flush,. like i embarrassed you with some long overdue compliments?

anyhow- i was raised in plymouth ,massachusetts. (home of thanksgiving!!!), moved to sharon for 2 years of high school, then moved to southern california for the rest of high school. i stayed here because i went to mortuary school, and got my friends to move here, when my parents moved back east.
many funeral homes have resident embalmers- they also sometimes plan the whole funeral, etc. there are also mortuaries that have embalmers, but use a trade service for difficult cases, or when they get overloaded. i worked at a chain of mortuaries for 5 years, then hooked up with this trade service. i like it because usually i am on call, work on a paging sysytem, and get waay more $$$. for the last 3 months, and the next 4 months, i am working 3 al night shifts at a funeral home that is right now embalming bodies for many area morts. i am also on call, as well. yay for the 60 hr work week.

here you go- where were you born and raised?
college, if any?
ever been enagaged, married? kids?
tell me about your music. and your filmaking.
how did you get along with your family, and parents?have you always read so much?
what do you do for a living? (i know you go to school, right?)
describe your greatest love.not neccesarily a person-
what makes you mad?
do you laugh when you make fun of yourself?
that should get you started-

if you in my area i'll give you a lesson ok ;) ?


deal. I need the practice anyway.

University Pool Team? Where have I been?...

you never commented on my picture. I cried a little. *tear*

Joc: same question.....describe an evening with a special someone .....

I usually have a tendency to become friends with a woman before dating her, a policy I'm rethinking as it appears to not be working. I end up with a lot of friends who want to date a guy "just like me". Uh, I know a guy just like me. ME!

Anyway, if it's a girl I don't know that well, I prefer to go on a date somewhere we can talk. I think it's usually better to have dinner at a place that takes its time and serves lots of courses. I used to have a french restaurant that was great for that, 5 courses. That way you almost always have some food to push around the plate if you're uncomfortable and plenty of dead time to chat in between bites if the conversation is flowing well.

I think going bowling or playing pool is a great casual date again because you can talk while you play, but there is plenty to do if the conversation isn't really working. There's nothing worse than going out with a girl who won't talk to you and just ending up staring at each other wishing the date would end.

If I know the girl well already, I don't think it's always necessary to talk. I like dates that are intimate. Most likely, I would begin the date by making a meal for the two of us and, hopefully, choosing a wine that compliments the food. Then starting a fire in the fireplace and settling down in front of it to make out or popping in a movie and enjoying it cuddled up next to the one I love (or maybe just like a lot).

you never commented on my picture. I cried a little. *tear*

*eyes go wide*
I object! I did comment - on the Comment the Pics Thread that Peeches so kindly created!

*tosses her hair*

Based on how you tell it, I'd say both you AND Mr. Peechland are very lucky.

EDIT: HA, HA, 500, BABY

Still thinking about the answer, I'll give a random song to pass time.


Eutrusca's Granddaughters

Big and small
I like them all
Blond, black or a brunette
Love has no color set

Appreciaaaaaaation is not good for me
Appreciaaaaaaation, I know what he's going to do

Eutrusca has a gun
He will shoot me in the bun
Love doesn't know fear
But I still hope he doesn't know I'm here

Appreciaaaaaaation is not good for me
Appreciaaaaaaation, I know what he's going to do

Eutrusca's Granddaughters are swell
and he is going to send me to hell
but even the greatest fires the devil got
Isn't granddaughter hot

Appreciaaaaaaation is not good for me
Appreciaaaaaaation, I know what he's going to do

Yay Hak!!!!! LOL......thats funny as hell. Poppy.....let this man have a date already! He's worthy.....

flush, like standing against the wall, flat? or like , lying prone, on your face, flush with the floor? hehhehehe.
or flush,. like i embarrassed you with some long overdue compliments?
I'm still not sure how I managed to make an impression on anyone, really. I'm pretty bland 'round here.

anyhow- i was raised in plymouth ,massachusetts. (home of thanksgiving!!!), moved to sharon for 2 years of high school,
Mmmm, Thanksgiving...the one time a year garauntee that I'll get mashed potatoes...I have some friends Athol, Mass. They want me to do a doc on this river race they have there every year. If I ever get enough money under me I just might. I can't pronounce that state, though, so I'll have to use them as the host.
then moved to southern california for the rest of high school. i stayed here because i went to mortuary school, and got my friends to move here, when my parents moved back east.
And thats how California stays the most populous state. Even if you're in the 'shallow end of the pool.' (As a Northern California native (as in I and both my parents where born here, not that I'm an actual native) I have a little bit of a rivalry with SoCal)
many funeral homes have resident embalmers- they also sometimes plan the whole funeral, etc. there are also mortuaries that have embalmers, but use a trade service for difficult cases, or when they get overloaded. i worked at a chain of mortuaries for 5 years, then hooked up with this trade service. i like it because usually i am on call, work on a paging sysytem, and get waay more $$$. for the last 3 months, and the next 4 months, i am working 3 al night shifts at a funeral home that is right now embalming bodies for many area morts. i am also on call, as well. yay for the 60 hr work week.
Thats pretty kick ass. I never even thought about that job before. I'm pretty impressed that you knew you wanted to do that when you where 7-I think at 7 I still wanted to be a dinosaur.

here you go- where were you born and raised?
I was born in San Jose, CA and lived in the east bay until I was 3, but thats heresay-can't remember any of it. We moved to Sacramento and ultimately Folsom, CA where I grew up. That Folsom (the Folsom Prison Blues Folsom, not the Folsom Man Folsom.) I grew up on 'the other side of the river,' which is where the yuppie interlopers where religated. I was raised by a wild pack of yuppies who where certain everything was worked out. They divorced as I graduated high school and lost all of their money.
college, if any?
This is the only reason I bring up the divorce. They pretty much lost track of me and my brother. I had half-assed through High School feeling that if I kept passing the tests then I was doing all I needed to do, so college was going to be a little difficult to get into. My band instructor talked to the music dept head of Sac State and got me in anyway because he was afraid if I joined the military I might stop playing all together. I went for two years but only payed for one, so when they figured that out I got the boot. Right around then Sacramento was giving me the red ass, so I moved to the bay area with the intent of going to CSU Hayward because I had played for an instructor there and really dug him. A series of unfortunate events, which are a seperate story unto themselves, stalled that for years and years. Finally I got promoted to head projectionist at a movie theater which gave me a degree of stability and the ability to write my own schedule so I went back to college, this time a Community College. I could do my homework at work, it gave me a solid start. I did everything but math in one year thinking that was enough to transfer (having taken my exact plan to a counseler...dammit). It wasn't. So I futzed around trying to short cut through the math thing then just took it from the ground up. Problem was I had already taken all the music classes and the person I came there for retired, so there wasn't much for me to do musically. So I took a playwrighting course because the professor also allowed people to write screenplays. After a few plays I had more awards and recognition writting so that by the time I finally transfered to UC Santa Cruz I was a film major. I am currently doing grad work in playwrighting.
ever been enagaged, married? kids?
I got close, but she was way more into it than I was. She probably could have wore me down, but I'm glad she didn't. I live a simplified life and have a direction I want things to go but not sure how to go about getting there. It just seems too much to have to do all that and involve myself with someone else. That and I have pretty specific tastes and I tried dating someone who wasn't into most of them and it was a drag.
tell me about your music. and your filmaking.
I could go on for days. I'm actually quickly approaching an artistic manifesto, which I never thought I would ever do. The short pretentious version is that I feel we've come to a similar crossroads regarding culture and information overload that we did at the last turn of the century and I'm having the same reaction that the Futurists, Dadaists, and Situationalists had, in that our representations have become stale and truth is manipulated context.

Which is not to say I don't like straight forward traditional stories. Most of my plays are pretty straight forward, and even the buggy ones have easily accessable stories.

My music when I play is cool jazz for the most part. I dig Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond. But for what I want to create, free and dissonate. My first major composition was a gnarled knot. I dug it. I've lost most it unfortunately. My dream projects are an Oratorio based on a series of short stories a friend wrote, which themselves are based on Scheherizode(sp) with a chamber group hooked up to sound processors, a half-natural/half-clockwork opera and an all clockwork opera. Further with the mechanized thing, I want to get my hands on a used Haunted House attraction to make it a walk through instrument/composition. A lot of things have to happen before I can pull that off...

My films are mostly documentaries right now. I like good personal stories, something with an interesting central character to it. I'm working on one (thats not even mine, though custom designed for me) about a woman racing in the dirt track circuit. I raced as a kid and found that more or less women are better race car drivers but haven't made it up due to patronage. So making this film is cool to me. I start tomorrow. I want to do some experemental narratives with DVDs that have a lot to do with perception, order of information, etc. I really could go on for days...
how did you get along with your family, and parents?have you always read so much?
I get along great with my little brother. Not so much with my parents. There is only so many times you can explain to them what you do before you realise they aren't paying attention and don't care.

I actually don't regard what I read as too much. My friend and collaborator (for writing) reads ridiculously fast and absorbs books like M&Ms, so thats a pretty high watermark for me. He's also a lit professor, so theres that...

I read because it was there. I would read my dads old text books, books I didn't understand (I forced myself to read a whole lot of the Theory of Relativity before I gave up...I was 12. Didn't understand it at all then.) In high school I had torqued out on those books and started reading comics. I'll read just about anything, but these days I'm really into narrative theory readings, so it's Jaques Lacan (JaquesLacan....JaquesLacan....letmerockyouJaquesLacan....woo, lame joke) and Death of the Auther who for some reason I forgot that name...dammit...Haha! Roland Barthes. Those cats. Also media theory-and thats what usually fires me up around here. So very little goes into how information is spread and so much into the information and thats what I rail up against. We don't know how to read media as a nation and it's getting us in trouble.
what do you do for a living? (i know you go to school, right?)
Right now I'm a sad little ticket agent at a non-profit ticket office. I have a film being made of a short play I wrote and that play itself is having its third production, but neither is paying me right now (though I got a whole dollar for the screenplay version...and their filming it for $13500. I got robbed...not really, but still...). That play, again, has also been sent out on request for a dream job that I still haven't heard back on, so I dare not mention its name. But it would be a dream. Then there is the sports docs, which may lead to employment. I graduate with my certificate this June, so I have to do something real now, no more bluffing. I'm ready, finally.
describe your greatest love.not neccesarily a person- The joke is that it's my Bus, I even did my first documentary on her. But I think it might be discovery. I think I get the warmest fuzzy from discovery, be it about myself, someone else, something I hadn't known before, stories. Narrative. That turns me on, learning the story of things, or making the story of things-because it's still a discovery. When I talk to my collaborator it's like we're discussing some people we know and we're 'finding things out about them.' So I'll say discovery, thats what I love.
what makes you mad?
Willful ignorance and harm. They are often hand in hand.
do you laugh when you make fun of yourself?
Absolutely. Maybe not always on the outside, but yes. Otherwise I'd become E-or (can't spell that...) and that purple donkey's a drag. My family is very sarcastic and really good at tearing each other down in polite ways. I have that too, but feel it's a crappy way to live your life. So I turn it where it should be focused, me. Not out of self-pity or loathing, which it can sometimes come off as, but as the checklist-these are the things that don't mesh, these are the things that can get better, etc. I am an entertainer, which means I have sooo much of an ego that I think you want to pay to see the crazy crap that I do. The rest is to keep that in check.
that should get you started-
I really should have gone to the bathroom first. (more than anyone wanted to know, eh?) I literally just woke up, so who knows what I wrote. Off to shower so I can visit my old theater and remind them I exist (they call that 'networking'...) ugh.

Thats got to be more than anyone could want to know about me.

Dang, missed it. Sorry.

EDIT: By the way, I looked and both you and Peech are beautiful women.

That's okay, I'm always misunderstood, except by Peeches.

Now if she could only put the hubby aside and take me instead... oh well
Soooo, I'll stick with devilishly cute guys instead. You cook? What are your specialities?

I'm a 19 year old male from Wellington, New Zealand. I live at home and work 20-30 hours a week at the local hell (www.hell.co.nz) shop. I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm going to do, and seem to have large motivational issues.

Dont worry-I'm nearly twice your age with three kids and a mortgage. I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm going to do either. Dont let that get you down. The ones that tell you they have it all figured out are BSing you.

I'm still not sure how I managed to make an impression on anyone, really. I'm pretty bland 'round here.

Its hard to say-no one has complained. I am a master of the grill. Lamb and red bell peppers,zucchini and asparagus.
I make great omelettes.
Pizza-dough & sauce home made, baked on a stone in the oven. Calzones too-with ham and spinach.

I usually do pretty good with whatever I attempt-when I cook, my heart is in it and the rest comes pretty naturally.

The world would hate me for being so selfish, I can't deprive the world of you. And the girl from last night was my school sweetheart. She lives too far away for anything to happen :( . But we promised that sometime, somehow we'd make it work so I'm ever hoping.

I love cooking desserts. Cakes, puddings, cookies, brownies, all types of things. I also love cooking dinner foods I just make up. You know, a little of this, a little of that. Always from scratch, cuz that's the most fun. I tend to lean towards spicy/hot on the entree/appetizer front and spicy/flavorful on the dessert front. If they're just going to be plain old chocolate chip cookies might as well by them from Nabisco.

Spicy/hot combination gives me a sense of passion. Do you consider yourself a passionate person, in everything you do?

Gosh, I hope so. I'm always smiling, but I do get a lot of "Relax, man". I think it's important to focus your passions. I try hard to do that. I met a guy who used to be a doctor and now is homeless. He was receiving disability checks from his time in the military, but a friend of his who was hurt worse wasn't receiving them. In protest, he refused to cash his until his friend got paid. Had to stop working temporarily because of his injury, sapped his money reserves and ended up homeless. Still has tons of money in back checks but refuses to cash them. Is that passionate? Yup. Useful to anyone? Nope.

Everyone is learning about their fellow NSers, and finding out how much they might really have in common with certain people on the forum.

Aerou, I have a question for you, showing the depths of my ignorance. What exactly is it that you are studying at the moment, and what does it involve you having to learn about? From what I've heard you say, I'm almost totally ignorant of it, but that only helps to make me curious.

Ooooh, I see... I think I might be forced to become quite knowledgeable of your profession... Apparently numerous hormone tests await to see if they explain my gender dysphoria. For my mum more than me... :rolleyes:
She refuses to accept modern medicine as accurate for years, then I tell her that and now it's the miracle worker :D
No consistency, parents.

Thanks for the link to your explanation anyway!

I'm moving. It'll take a week for SBC to get my internet set up at my new address. It's way the hell out in the boonies in a little one-stop-light town. I'm moving there to be closer to my mom. Her health is getting pretty poor and I want to be able to take care of her.

Well my nation is pretty self-explanatory.. 'The Phunky Towns of Viva la Hippy'
UN Category: Scandinavian Liberal Paradise ^^

Hobbies: I love photography and movie making, i recently bought a beautiful new Slr.. all the parts from ebay :D .. I'm currently making a site which is very time consuming -__- .. I love writting .. poems, stories, everything.. oo and last is art.. i am absolutely in love with art.. acrylics, oils, not so much water colour ... :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And in my signature.. smoke grass like its ur last resort.. i mean smoke it with no care.. [Hippy refference] but its better if u interpret it in ur own way..

well i gotta say i'm probably the youngest in the forums :). i'm "only" 16 years (well in 2 weeks, 30th of april, 17)

Hi-five, im on the 29th of April.. :)

Of course.

what's "sbc"?

I think it stands for Southwestern Bell Communications, but I'm not really sure. They're my internet and phone provider.

I have a question for you, Bitchkitten? How do you like driving in Oklahoma? I went to visit my brother at Fort Sill a few years ago, and the one thing that sticks out in my mind about Oklahoma was how insufferably straight and flat the roads were.

Depends on the part of Oklahoma. Western Oklahoma is dull, flat, nearly treeless and downright ugly. Eastern Oklahoma is lush, hilly, tons of trees and really quite pretty. I'm moving to a little town slightly east of center. It's not bad, but could use some improvement. I currently live in Oklahoma City and don't recommend it.
If you like billboards saying "Abortion is Murder" and "Jesus Loves You' all over the place you'd just love it. Mostly it sucks. Oklahoma also has some of the worst roads in the country.
To people considering moving to Oklahoma all I can say is "why?" I only moved here to be near my idiot family. The only other reason I can think of is that you're a right-wing religious fundamentalist (esp of the Baptist variety) and you want to feel at home.

Rant over, for now.

I lived in Oklahoma for many MANY years, traveled all over the state. I cant see claiming any part of Oklahoma as "beautiful"...but...I prefer the sight of real trees and mountains to brown grass and overgrown shurbs...

You're mother's getting sicker? So is mine. She's starting to get sick too. I heard that maybe within 6 months, she'll be in a wheelchair... :(

I hope your mother will be all right soon. :)

I would like to ask who are you and what did you do with my soup?

Ask away.

Unfortunately it's not likely. She's in end stage renal failure and can't have a transplant because the doctors don't think she'd survive general anesthesia. Her arthritis has gotten really bad too. I was at her house the other day and she couldn't even walk across her yard without help.

Since I have more arthritis now than she had at my age I'm not looking forward to this. We seem to get arthritis really early in our family. My grandmothers hands were totally useless by the time she was thirty. I started having trouble with my hips and right hand in highschool. I still managed to be on the track team, but not without some pain.

Enough of me bitching, tell me what's going on with your mom. And how is your back?

That's not good. :(

Ummm... I already don't remember much (serves me right for not paying that much attention :headbang: ), but she has required hospital trips, tests, and she's had pnumonia (sp?) a number of times, a quite a few knee surgeries (due to an accident back when she was younger, i think), and a bunch of other stuff, and like I said, she could be in a wheelchair in 6 months. :(

My back is still the same, no worse, no better, and probably stay that way for the rest of my (eternal, of course :D ) life. My hearing however, is a problem. I have "profound hearing loss" (resulting in having to wear hearing aids), and as I get older, I'll hear less and less, which is part of the reason why I'm looking for a mate, someone I can depend on (while humping them at the same time :D ), and who is hearing (so she can hear noises that I don't.)

:-D Sorry, just a random "Hiya."
Arrgh Mod Spam! :eek:

Well i was born in the lovely City of Hamilton("Hamiltron" The City of the Future!!!)in the Grand Provence of the 'Waikato'(Go Mooloo!)
This occured in the fine year of 1983 a grand Year in deed,but not only in the grand year of 1983 but also in the marvelous Month of November(Most of the best NS'ers are Novemberites or is that Novemberians??/!.....)
And also my day of Birth falls on the name of a Greek Terrorist Organisations name hmmmm Guess it i dare you!

After this fine begining it was time to move to Australia(Dont ask me why there are way to many Aussies over there!
And so i lived in Australia for some time-around three years!
We lived in Cronulla!
Cronulla Rocks they have the Best League Team Go the Sharkies!
In Australia we had a Swimming Pool(Necessity).
I got my first friend her name was Janel(or something i cant remember)she was Turkish!

So one time i was Watering the Garden and one of those nasty Aussie Spiders was 3 feet away from me i thought it would be a good idea to soak it!!
Lucky for some the bastard didnt DEAT me(well at least i think so :p )
Also you know how your mum always dont run with things???
Well turns out its true i managed to trip up once and had a feather duster in my mouth jabbing the back of my throat(yeah thats right the Handle end!)
I went to the Melbourne Cup and managede to see every race bar the actual Melbourne Cup( i fell asleep)

Then my Folks decided to move back to NZ!
The reason you ask?
Simple i started to get an Aussie Accent!
"Can i go sweem ein thee Pill"(Can i go swim in the pool)
Sex(Six)-Well maybe thats what i was trying to say! ;)
I used to always say Stone The Crows(So undervalued)

AND so ends Chapter One.
Asleep yet?

cannot. the walrus thing- let us have it.

cannot. the walrus thing- let us have it.
I should have saw that coming...

So, I am the walrus. Or, at times and to some, walrws. That'll get confusing.

Aaaannnywaay...the question is 'where did I get the nickname "walrus."

So I mentioned in a longer post that I attended Sac State for a few years. I was a music major there. I was friends with a voice major (the chick I met in the 'meeting people' thread/whatever...). She was the greatest (well, is-she's not dead), I'm usually put out by overly happy people but she is cool. You know how people who say "I just speak my mind" and it's really code for "I'm an attention starved asshole who says the most dick thing I can think of."? She honestly said what came to her head and it was mostly good stuff. I was fascinated. And she fixed my 914. That was down right hot. So we hang out. I need a distraction and I think so did she. We played pinball, went to movies, slacked. Had fun.

She was living with her fiance on a rabbit ranch (a subject we didn't talk about much due to a childhood pet...but I digress..). He didn't do any of those things with her. This disapointed her. So she decided to tell him about this guy at school who she hangs out with all the time and plays pinball with and went to movies, slacked-had fun with. The idea was to make him jealous. This ranch hand. Who I hadn't met. And so she's telling me this and I'm thinking it's a good thing she got the 914 fixed, because I'm gonna have to book it soon.

But she tells me he didn't get jealous or nothin'. Couldn't figure out why. Wheew. So I ask her how she described me. She said, in her honest manner, that I looked like a walrus. "Well, there you go. I think if my girlfriend came home and told me she was spending time with someone she thought looked like a walrus, I'd simply be happy she made a friend." She said she was talking about a long stache I had at the time, but it was too fun to tease her with.

So everytime I had to enter a name in something it was always "Walrus"* When I was reintroduced to the record store I returned to it was during a trivia game where everyone got used to calling me walrus, and since there where three other people with the same name as me, it stuck...I cut up some radio station stickers to say "Walrws" in the fridge because I didn't have a U. Which brings my walrus persona to its last stage-

The comic strip. I wrote and a co-worker drew a comic strip called Hawaiin Joe and the Walrws-which is the story of a hero (Hawaiin Joe) who decided he needed a sidekick and found a guy who loved burritos and when frightened turned into a walrus, with a walrus intelligence, meaning it didn't know where it was so it would panic and thrash about. The dude would wake up naked and confused. Had I realised that the artist was really going to draw me in the role I would have left the naked part out. They fought people like "Nickel and Dime" who stole impulse items from convinience stores, but as super villians, and "Hinge the Living Modern Art Sculpture" who was removing all hot lunch hand items except burgers in an evil publicity stunt for his staging of Pagliaci with Ronald McDonald land characters. A little over the top for a CC newspaper, but the other comics didn't make any damn sense either, so...


Ah, my goal to make all answers sooo long winded hardly anyone reads them...
