hmm, well besides the LOTR, I would most definitely say the rather darkish black and white from the fourties and fifties like Casa Blanca,Rebecca, The Maltese Falcon, that sort of thing.
Nineri, you are only fifteen, I can't believe it. cyberspace can be very deceiving!

Ah, Gondola. But I do not necessarily have to be in Venice to do so, just somewhere that there's a nice, long, peaceful river, where the current picks up every now and then over tiny rapids, just to keep me on my toes...not sure if anyone's ever gone over rapids in a Gondola before...I'd try.

I'd find out what strings were attached before accepting it and then I'd run it through my bank to see if it was real before I started spending any of it.

When I get tokens of places they are usually for someone else to have that does not travel. I myself am a minimilist and no Hobbit! As for that other question, may that happen to me, I can use all the extra money I can get for my street work with the poor and homeless.We pay everything from our own pockets. I wish I might catch a wee leprachaun and make him bless me pockets with neverending tooneys!

oh Celebrian that is such a good choice, you are correct music does last forever.
I have about three or four movies that, no matter how hard I try and no matter how many times I have viewed them DO make me weep until I feel exhausted and are and will probably always be my favorite movies.
If you could have a chance encounter with any mortal, alive or dead, for just one hour, who would that person be and why would you choose h im or her?

I think my question was too boring,so I will answer myself.
I would choose ST. Thomas More because of his grace,marvellous love and kindness and because he stood up against a tyrant and murderer who abused the laws of God, creating new in effect to allow him to murder wives and wed others. More paid with his life and I love that even at the very terrible end he forgave everyone and told those responsible for getting him up to the scaffold and down that because of being in the tower and being exceedingly weak he would appreciate if they could help him up the stairs. He then said that after he was beheaded he would get himself back down the stairs as best h e could!

Actually, it's either out by the foothills of the Superstition Mountains, in a town called Gold Canyon, where it is pristine views of the jagged cliffs, giant Saguaro cacti, and sacred native American grounds, or in my own home, immersed in bubble bath in my deep tub, with classical music playing in the background loudly enough that I can't hear the bickering and rowdiness of my kids for a half-hour. Bliss.

I absolutely love nature and the out of doors. I go for very long walks.
But as to what you asked, although every one I know would say a resounding YES, I must admit that to me roughing it is having to stay in only a four star hotel!.
I can not bear anything like that. I have a sore back, eaten by bugs, always remember something I left behind and need, feel confined and trapped, miss my own shower and on and on and on.If I go out in the foresty bits I cannot go any rougher than a very well made and lovely cabin with all the amenities.
I lived near the Three Sisters Mountains once , the house was so enormous we could play games in the living room. The place was all log style, huge porch where the squirrels came to eat and we lived right across the highway from an honest to goodness trading post/dry goods store.
I could step right outside and view the craggy forboding Three Sisters and I could walk about twenty feet across our backyard and watch the train thunder by.
That was enough for a lifetime.
If you could only have one source of entertainment, such as teli or books or music, only ONE, what would that be?

It would have to be reading books. Although I love listening to music, I must be doing something while doing so and would go stark raving if I had to just sit for more than just an hour doing nothing but listening to music. (This doesn't include being at a concert.) I usually have music playing in the background while reading, but I don't require it and can read without it.

What's your favourite music band?
What's your favourite music band?
Oh, geez...I must have a million. Let's see...The Beatles, Led Zepplin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, and Coldplay are some of the more rock bands that I love, but I also really love composers as well; actually John Williams is my very favorite modern composer. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is my favorite classical composer. I like "folk" music a lot, too, like Simon&Garfunkle. I also really like Johnny Cash, who is considered by most to be "classic country", but I see him more as being Rockabilly. I also love Bob Marley and Matisyahu, reggae artists, and I think that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are brilliant pseudo-punk rockers. Like I said, there's really not one particular favorite band or artist that I favor more than any others and I have left out a kajillion of artists from this list out of consideration to all of you other members who might want to get a word in edgewise sometime in the near future.

Since i don't live in the UK (sniff) i watch it on tv. Even then i think its better because you can watch replays and other stuffs whereas at a live match you have to pay full attention to the action at your own peril.

Are you going away for the weekend
Are you going away for the weekend
I used to travel constantly, but since I started a street work with the homeless and working poor,I cannot leave them, I simply cannot. So I only go for a little now and then with my family. But we have three lakes, mountains and world class skiing, bike paths, you name it. I am fine.
This weekend I shall be working furiously on a manuscript and repainting the living room, then if I have time we shall all go on a hike .Then eat quantities of Chinese food!
Do you like strong colors or earthy muted tones in your bedroom?

Always earthy muted tones in the bedroom and everywhere else. I've never liked bright primary colors much.
Hmmm..have to think..
Do you prefer to take time to read the paper and have a second cup of coffee or tea in the morning or do you dive right into the day and start doing things?
Hmmm..have to think..
Do you prefer to take time to read the paper and have a second cup of coffee or tea in the morning or do you dive right into the day and start doing things?
Usually, I dive right in. I have a very nagging problem, you see, that if I have something that needs to be done, I must do it immediately and absolutely cannot pass it by, no matter how much I want to or try not to. I believe this is called "obsessive/compulsive" in the label-happy world of psychiatrics...though I don't buy into that stuff much, if I can help it. Mornings usually hold the most things to be done, therefore, it would be very unusual indeed to find me sitting, doing something as normal as reading the paper. Ahh, if only I could learn to ignore the damned chores...

What is your favorite Disney Classic movie...i.e. Dumbo, Bambi...?
What is your favorite Disney Classic movie...i.e. Dumbo, Bambi...?
Actually, it's Robin Hood, the Disney classic featuring a rather handsomely-drawn fox as the title infamous rogue, with a whole cast of animals as Little John, Friar Tuck, the Sheriff of Nottingham and Maid Marion. It's sooo funny. My favorite part in the whole movie is when Prince John, a young lion without a mane and with a rather large ego, who usurped the throne of England while Richard the Lion-hearted (who is also a lion-cute, huh?) is away on Crusade, falls into the mud and cries, "Ahhhhhh! Mommy..." in a very whiny voice and begins to engage in one of his more annoying habits, sucking his thumb. He then notices his thumb is muddy and says, "I've got a dirty thumb." Classic. His part was voiced by none other than the late, great character actor, Peter Ustinov, with such great comic timing. Anyway, I watched the movie about a million times as a child and pretty much memorized it, but I guess you could say that I almost love it too much! My kids don't even really care about it one way or the other...

That's a concept I've never considered! I've always thought of time as an intangible and when it was over, it was over. You've presented me with a very interesting idea.

I know how you feel but no I have never thought that. I am , among several things a counsellor so I use those skills to try to work things out. But if they, like my neighbor are obnoxious and do all th ey can to make my life miserable I use what laws there are and I excercise to reduce the stress. A LOT ! and eventually the problem is gone, nothing lasts forever really.
