  1. That's not particularly special. I wouldn't really feel honored knowing that grass could potentially grow using the nutrients produced once bacteria breaks down my body.. I think jewish caskets have a semi-faulty bottom solely for the purpose of being 'reabsorbed back into the earth' or whatever (at least that's what my jewish school taught us [make no mistakes though, I'm only Jewish by blood]). Could he have not just pretended to be jewish?
  2. Here yee! A perfect rational mind Sure, living on after death is a lovely comforting thought but just because something is comforting doesn't make it true. I'd rather not lie to myself about some things. Consciousness relies purely on our brain's ability to function. When it stops functioning it's the end. A brain rotting in the ground does not function. Some people say that our consciousness and our personality or whatever transcends physical boundaries but then explain major personality changes as a result of physical brain damage or dementia.
  3. *Goes to tell it to nearest person who probably won't get it...
  4. Oh, I'm terrified of death. Why? I want to live and experience things for as long as possible- death ends that. No more experiences, you can't even experience nothingness because you're nothing. Sure you can hope for the best and believe in an afterlife but it's all just wishful thinking. When you're dead, you have no consciousness and your body rots six feet under... So enjoy life while you're alive and don't waste it worrying about potential but highly improbable post-death consequences
  5. Same. Everyone in my family is also like "you need therapy" and I also refuse to for the same reason. If that virtual-reality therapy thing was more available I might consider it but still scary. Used to be a bigger problem coz I lived near a reserve but now I'm in the city so it isn't too bad. I've also passed out but only on like two occasions- usually I just cry pathetically. Oh and they should totally have a name for the phobia.
  6. Are you a perfectionist? Apparently it's been documented (case study-wise so not completely reliable) that children who delay first words and begin with sentences are more likely to become perfectionists when they're adults. Oh and James, . That would be a great first word for parents to show off were it true.
  7. Did this at uni a couple of years ago n it was mildly amusing n I'm mildly bored so here we go: What was your first word? (NOTE: mama and dada don't count unless they were used consistently with the appropriate parental figure. Otherwise, it's just babbling) Mine was "more."
  8. That was wonderful.
  9. No. Way. (emoticon laughing at the hilarious/horrific morbid children's book.)
  10. In which case i'd change my answer to closed. I reckon that he's crazy open-mouth kissing was purely for the camera's sake. I think spiderman kissing is the best.
  11. I just never know which bin to use! And the writings usually faded and I don't wanna hover around bins for too long... I reuse water bottles. Does that count?
  12. I picked up my puppy 2 days ago and am celebrating his first appropriate use of an area of grass rather than the kitchen floor
  13. OMG in your room?! That's awful! How do you sleep?
  14. It's always easier to be militant when you have super powers!
  15. I'm doing a bachelor of speech pathology and one of our lecturers once told us about a (peer-reviewed, large sample sized) study linking 'effeminate' gay speech with an increase in, quantitatively, pitch variance and qualitatively, prosody. I guess that's why it's called 'effeminate' since female speech generally has more pitch variance than male. M->F transexuals sometimes get speech therapy to increase prosody and overall pitch
  16. Can you eat it straight from the trees? Is that a really stupid question?
  17. Well buy lots and hide one so that you forget about it for a while But I've only done it with glass bottles of the stuff so I don't know how well cans would hold up...
  18. sugar, lemon juice, strawberries and chopped nuts. Maple syrup is also good but only the real stuff and I had a serious serving suggestion that people should try: Keep the maple syrup in your fridge WAAAYYY past use-by (like more than a yr ) so that it kind of seems to go just slightly alcoholic. It is soooo good. My sister came over and threw mine away after looking at the use-by and I was seriously pissed at her Oh and the other week I had ricotta and passion fruit souffle crepes (wait I just realized everything I've been saying is about crepes not pancakes, nevertheless) which were amazing. When the price of passion fruits comes down or I grow a passion fruit vine (Idea! scribbles down note) I'll try and work out the recipe.
  19. Never had 'the talk' with my parents but we had this video 'where did I come from?' lying around the house for as long as I remember and my brother watched it constantly for some reason so I knew where babies came from and the really basic stuff about puberty at like 6 The funny part was when my school showed us this same cartoon video in high school in a sex ed class. Everyone was already way past puberty and it was very amusing. Before that though, when we were like 10 the school had a seminar on puberty and sex but all I remember was everyone wandering around afterwards imitating an 'erection' with the their arms like the lady in the seminar did then going back to 'flaccid'.
  20. I really want a tongue ring but I can't have mouth piercings in the profession I'm going into
  21. Agreed. And the consummation of their weddings must be a huge let down- I mean virgin males are notoriously fast.
  22. I think guys should be trimmed at least. Having to cough up pubic hair during sex is unattractive. Me too!!! Almost every time I read it.
  23. A lot of things. I'm pretty wimpy. 1. Completely irrational? Lizards. Big/small- doesn't matter. Even photos or drawings. Even the word freaks me out. I keep the blinds open in my room at night so that enough light comes in for me too check my bed for lizards every so often. 2. Snakes, but only slightly more than most people. I'm not scared of pictures but would never go near the real thing. 3. Aging physically. I want to be young and beautiful forever! But who doesn't? 4. Old children. Benjamin Button as a baby was so scary!!! And this sounds really mean but children with the disease Progeria terrify me. That's the kind of thing I imagine when I'm home alone.
  24. I said 'yes' but then I reread and it said true love. I lost my virginity accidently to someone I didn't love (even though we'd been together for a while) and wish that I could have (purposely) lost it to my current boyfriend who I do love. So, I don't think you should wait around til you find 'the one' or anything because that is an elusive concept but I think someone you love is preferable, or at least do it on purpose
  25. 3 in my left ear, 2 in my right and a belly ring. I don't usually wear earrings though because I always lose them.
