Sir. Greeny
I'd answer a question, but there is no question to answer. o_o

Q
Q: Have you truly pushed yourself to the limit in conditioning? And if you have, do you secretly think to yourself, you are better than normal people because of this?

There's still that one.

He's kind of right, Nios: you did answer. Your answer was 'no.'

I have no answer to it so it goes to anyone that can answer it.

No. I am not athletic in the slightest.

Q: If you could/had to pick one subject, any subject, to completely devote the rest of your life to (as a career), what would it be? [optional: why?]

Yes, but the question had been given more than two weeks.

That's true. So by your question, do you mean subjects like math and science? My brain has shut off at this point.

No, it's alright. I was rather vague.

It could be. Or it could be "blueness." Like, systematically adding more blue to the world ( eek ) or a study in blueness. Just...a subject that you can imagine forming a "career" around (it doesn't have to be a career that pays). And whatever it is, whatever you choose, you can do it. But you have to choose and have to devote the rest of your life to that one thing.

I don't know. This is what happens when I get tired.

A: Ok well even though I'm really dedicating myself to art, I would like to dedicate myself to animals. Specifically saving animals. Like an super hero for animals XP If you don't like that answer than we'll just stick with art.

Q: What was the worst injury or illness you ever suffered from?

A: I can never remember the answer to this question so I'll just say Donnie Darko cause I do love that movie.

Q: What's your favourite childhood story?
PostPosted: Fri Aug 05, 2005 9:45 am


A: There was this book about a Unicorn with stickers.. Art was awesome, so was the story.. I think I saved it.. -tears apart the library-
-five minutes later- AH HA! I DID!
"The Enchanted Unicorn". After that, there's a series of books by Serendipity (publisher?) Of "Morgan and" books. Morgan is a Unicorn. There's "Morgan and Me", "Morgan and Yew," and I think some others. All of them were really good stories about a lonely unicorn who would do anything to be a friend with somebody else(because he was the last Unicorn), but there were lessons involved. Really good lessons.

But as for "The Enchanted Unicorn," the first page says this:
"The unicorn of our story was a white and fleecy as an April cloud, with long golden tresses for her mane and tail, a horn of purest gold, and eyes that gleamed like the stars. Her name, in fact, was Starlight.
Starlight had no family of her own, and was often lonely. Though she was kind and friendly to all the other animals, many of them were jealous of her beauty and would say things to hurt her feelings."

Then it kind of goes on about how ugly the animals are to her, and she goes to find other unicorns. She does, but then goes back to the animals for some ungodly reason.

And the second to last page says:
"The animals all gathered around her, their eyes and words still full of jealousy and unkindness. Nothing seemed ot have changed... but it had.
Starlight simply looked at the animals, her eyes burning with the light of a thousand stars. The animals stood as still as stone figures, gazing back at her. Then, suddely, they all broke into bright smiles--smiles of kindness, smiles of concern, smiles of love. The air felt different--clearer, softer, warmer."

"Morgan and Yew," on the other hand, is a lot more belieavable as possibly happening.

Some key passages in there are:
"Morgan's best friend in the whole world was a short, dumpy sheep simply called Yew. His fur was dirty white and curlier than the tail of a newborn pig.

"There was nothing magical about Yew except for the fact that he loved Morgan and had a heart cast of the purest gold."

Then, because I don't feel like quoting it, Yew feels like he's not Morgan's equal because he's so ugly. So he looks in a pond one day at his reflection and cries about how ugly he is. He gets in his mind that he needs something to make hims pecial like Morgan, so he tries to make a horn for himself.
So he tries a glop of mud, and Morgan laughs at how stupid it makes Yew look.

"Yew began to cry ... 'You odn't have to laugh!' ... 'I was only trying to look like you.'
'But why would you want to llok like me?' asked Morgan.
So, Yew told Morgan how he really felt about himself"

So Morgan tries to tell Yew that he isn't really ugly, but if he truly feels that way, Morgan will walk him to the mountain where he got his own horn. They do that, and the Morning Star comes along and says, 'okay, you can have the horn but you have to take Morgan's and Morgan can't live on earth without his horn'.
So Morgan looks to Yew and says, 'if you really want my horn, I'll give it to you,' and without thinking, Yew screams that, Yes, he does want the horn.
In the blink of an eye, he has this bigass horn and no Morgan.
So of course he realises he did wrong, and begs all day and all night to this star about how wrong he was, and he wants Morgan back and not the horn anymore.

The star was like, okay, fine, but don't do this again. So Morgan came back with his horn, and Yew went back to be hornless, and everything is good.
Then there's this lovely little addage at the end:
"When you look with envy on friends that you have found, think of the horn of Morgan and the love of Yew abound."

...

Wow, that has to be the longest I've ever gone off-topic.

So my question is,
What's your favorite childhood memory?

My grandma used to read the Serendipity books to us all the time. She gave them to me as a graduation present with one of the sweetest cards I've ever gotten. ^_^
