Kari | 4641 comments ((Wow, you and your deep questions...))

Probably stuff about how they effected my life and what they mean to me. Then I would put how they helped me grow closer to God and thank them for all they taught me about Him. I'd probably add how I'm sorry for anything that I did that hurt them or just plain annoyed them. Then it would end saying how they've helped me grow, learn, and experience great stuff and what I would like them to do for me. I'm not sure what else I would put...

TTPBM: same


message 8202: by [deleted user] (new)

Lolz, I'd probably not have the most profound sentence. (view spoiler)

TTPBM: Sum up your entire existence. Sum up your feelings and your personality and your likes and dislikes. But only use 1 word.


message 8203: by [deleted user] (new)

O___O :O bu....how.....I can't..even......


message 8204: by [deleted user] (new)

Try! It's okay if you can't, but try!!!! Pwease? And then ask me a question. But at least attempt to do it!


message 8205: by [deleted user] (new)

okay. I have to think about this one...

I would hope it would be something like inspiring but in reality, I think it is more like unobtrusive or maybe meditative


TTPBM: This is something I was thinking about the other day. How do you want people to remember you? Not necessarily something they would say at your funeral, but like 5-10 years after you die, what do you want them to look back and remember most about you?


message 8206: by [deleted user] (new)

I want them to remember me as a wonderful author, and to go down in history right along side the other big names, C.S.Lewis, Tolkien, Brian Jaques, and the like.

Same?


message 8207: by Kari (new)

Kari | 4641 comments This may sound cliche, but I just want people to remember me as someone one who was strong, caring, inspiring, someone who loved God wholeheartedly... Just basically good things. And this may sound... Vain or selfish, but I want to be known. Not like by friends and family, but in general (I know, it sounds sorta stupid...).

TTPBM:
Abby's question about summing up your life in one question.


message 8208: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't think that is stupid. It is actually more like what I was thinking.

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Question, or word?
I think she said word . . .
In which case. Ummmm. I've found quite a few words over the years which describe me . . . soliloquist, recluse, writer, hobbit, procrastinator, affable. (At least, I hope that last one)
But my life . . . That's a bit more difficult. I'll go with procrastination for now. If there were a word for "waiting for something wonderful to happen", that would be me.

TTPBM: If you had ten minutes more to live, and you could talk to one person - not counting family friends - who would it be?

*makes mental note not to create hard questions when they're going to be turned back on me*
My family and friends are the ones who matter the most, but probably either Tom Hiddleston or Christopher Eccleston. I'd love to talk to those guys.

TTPBM: The one-word-existence thing.


message 8213: by [deleted user] (new)

(view spoiler)

I'd probably talk to my best friend or someone I consider a mentor.

message 8220: by [deleted user] (new)

MJ, yes, of course it was a DW reference. XD

Hmm, to answer my own "one word" thing. Well. *slightly embarrassed* Gabby. I'd have to use that. When I was little my parents and brother called me that because I talked, or "gabbed" all the time. Seriously, my sister recalls that I was speaking in complete sentences by time I was a new two year old. And everything else was delayed...walking, etc. So, even though I hate it, I was nicknamed Gabby, and so it'll be my word. XD

TTPBM

If any author, living or dead, had dedicated a book to you, which author would you want to do so? And which of his/her books would you wanted him to have dedicated?


message 8221: by johanna (jo), soliloquist. (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Haha, awesome.

J.R.R. Tolkien, I suppose. Maybe The Hobbit . . . but really, anything dedicated to me by Tolkien would be unbelievably fantastic.

TTPBM: You?

TTPBM

Randomly make up a "life goal" right now, one you've never really thought about, and promise yourself to do it. (Example: Pie someone in the face, see Mt. Rushmore, etc.)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Buy a carton of eggs and draw faces on them.

TTPBM:
Die in your sleep in an old folk's home, surrounded by friends and family, and be forgotten . . .
or,
Die painfully on the battlefield, alone, but be remembered through the ages for your bravery and valour?


message 8225: by Kari (new)

Kari | 4641 comments Die painfully.

TTPBM:
Same


message 8226: by [deleted user] (new)

Probably the second one. However, I'd want to carry with me, before entering the battlefield, letters to all my loved ones, revealing true feelings. And I would want to die quickly, not slow.

TTPBM:
Die young (mid twenties) in the arms of your beloved spouse after an accident, or live a long, full life and die of old age and natural causes, 12 years after your spouse had passed?


message 8227: by johanna (jo), soliloquist. (last edited Mar 03, 2014 08:20PM) (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
I meant slowly, but dying quickly with excruciating pain would be okay.

The latter. It wouldn't be fair to leave them at such a young age; nor would I want them to suffer that. If I lived, we'd spend longer together, and achieve more.

TTPBM: Live forever (on earth), or die tomorrow?


message 8228: by [deleted user] (new)

Die tomorrow.

Achieve all your life goals but lose the person you love most or achieve nothing in life but know that the person you love is somewhere in safety?


message 8229: by Pooja (new)

Pooja Kumaraguru (pooja_kumaraguru) | 35 comments the latter..
same??

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Lose as in . . . they die?
Would choosing the former make me a murderer?
If I actually had a choice, I suppose I'd pick the latter.

TTPBM: Cause the death of your family, but your whole country lives, or kill or your entire country, but your family lives?


message 8231: by [deleted user] (new)

Erm...either way my family dies so the first.

Same


message 8232: by johanna (jo), soliloquist. (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Sorry, I didn't phrase that right --
Cause the death of your family, but your whole country lives, or kill or your entire country, but your family lives?

Aaand I'd choose the former, but it'd be awful.

TTPBM: Same.


message 8233: by Irene (new)

Irene (wingdesilverii) Really guys, at least we are being eco friendly by recycling!!

I guess the first?


TTPBM: Wants to donate their organs when they die? (I know, morbid, but it's all you guy's fault because you started the topic of death!!)


message 8234: by mels (new)

mels (padmeskywalkers) | 10006 comments Mod
Uh... No. Id rather my organs stay inside my body... Call me selfish... I'm just creeped out by the fact that when I die, someone else will get my heart or something... *shudders*

Same?


Theodosia of the Fathomless Hall (taelianaofthewind) | 1580 comments Yes, but they will be safely genetically engineered by that time.

TTPBM: Wants to get off the macabre thread of conversation...?


message 8236: by Briana (new)

Briana (brianals) | 15203 comments Mod
Certainty (after looking up what macabre means).

TTPBM: Has watched the DW episode The Rings of Akhatan (I'm watching it right now)?

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
No, but I want too so bad. It's the one with Emilia Jones, yes? :D She's the daughter of my mum's favourite singer. ^_______^ My mum played his music so much when I was a kid that it's embedded into my brain. :P

I did just watch Turn Left, though. Worst DW episode in the history of worst DW episodes. *shudders*

TTPBM: Has watched the episode Turn Left? Thoughts?


message 8238: by Irene (new)

Irene (wingdesilverii) I don't think so?? I kinda started with the fifth season of the New Who and have now gone back to the first season of the New Who so things are reallly confusing sometimes (in addition to it being Timey Wimey).

TTPBM: Is a Whovian?

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
I like to think of myself as one. ;P

(It's a series 4 episode. The Doctor's hardly in it, and it's all about what would have happened if Donna hadn't met the Doctor in The Runaway Bride . . . it's awful. xD I mean, it's a good episode (dat ending), but it's one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. ROSE, THOUGH.)

TTPBM: Has watched an episode of Doctor Who in the last week?


message 8240: by Irene (new)

Irene (wingdesilverii) *hides face behind hands* No...I know shame on me...

TTPBM: Last Tv show watched?


message 8241: by johanna (jo), soliloquist. (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Guess.

TTPBM: Favourite DW companion?


message 8242: by Elaney (new)

Elaney | 339 comments Rose

TTPBM: Watched any anime?


message 8243: by Irene (new)

Irene (wingdesilverii) @Jo: Oh gee, that's really hard, hmmm, let me guess Doctor Who?

Nope....

TTPBM: Likes Anime?


message 8244: by johanna (jo), soliloquist. (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Never watched it.

How did you guess??

:D

TTPBM: Oldest thing you've watched?


message 8245: by Irene (new)

Irene (wingdesilverii) Ummm, I have watched a few silent films so not sure?

TTPBM: Likes classics?


message 8246: by MJ (last edited Mar 11, 2014 11:55AM) (new)

MJ Woody (harpsickhord) YES indeed! ^_^

TTPBM: Favorite/last classic you've read?


message 8247: by johanna (jo), soliloquist. (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Last classic I read was Hamlet.
Favourite classic would be Pride & Prejudice or The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Or The Hobbit/LOTR, if they count. TOO MANY. xDD

TTPBM You?


message 8248: by MJ (last edited Mar 11, 2014 02:49PM) (new)

MJ Woody (harpsickhord) Too many indeed. xD

My favorite would either be--P&P or Sherlock, too. xD The last one I read though was Jane Eyre. REALLY good. Loved that one so much. <3

TTPBM: Last song you listened to?


message 8249: by johanna (jo), soliloquist. (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) | 11500 comments Mod
Umm.
Goodness, I can't remember. I haven't listened to anything in a while. Let's see . . . *opens iTunes* *puts on shuffle* The Healing Has Begun, by Matthew West.

TTPBM: You?


message 8250: by MJ (new)

MJ Woody (harpsickhord) Erm.. Let me see... *checks YT history*
This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FF4Hy... But as in, an actual SONG, it was probably Pompeii by Bastille (my favorite, currently).

TTPBM: First chapter book you ever remember reading?
