Hello all, and welcome to the latest edition of Pertinent Life Questions. Seeing as this has become a pretty regular thing on my blog, I'd like to explain a bit more of what it actually is. You see, I have this friend who also has a blog, and we decided one day that since she had nothing to blog about, we would give each other blog prompts. These prompts would come in the form of questions being asked to the other blogger, and we would each answer the set of questions we're given. I just decided to call mine Pertinent Life Questions.
So if you're wondering where these questions come from, there you have it. No, I am not making them up. I didn't really expect this whole blog prompt idea to last long, but it has lasted longer than I originally anticipated. This is the long-awaited third installment of Pertinent Life Questions. Enjoy.
Item Number 1: Tell us about one thing you hate about your favorite person.
Well, I could go on and on for days about several different people, but I will stick to one thing I hate for every good friend I have. First of all, I hate the fact that my girlfriend broke up with me, but that's a petty reason to hate someone. I hate it when some people don't take life seriously enough. I mean, I love humor and light-heartedness, but sometimes some people go a bit overboard with it. I also hate it when certain people think that physical appearance is all that matters and that how you look is way more important than who you are. I also hate it when certain people act like jerks as a method of showing affection. I also hate it when people think that they have a right to act arrogant just because they have a certain good quality about them. Alright, that's the end of my friend raid. Love you all, though.
Item Number 2: Make up one nonsense word that doesn't have a negative meaning on UrbanDictionary.com.
This is a tough one, especially considering the fact that the school computer I'm typing on has no access to Urban Dictionary. I will, however, attempt to invent a word and give it meaning. I hope it doesn't already have one.
coll-ir-ble: (CALL-er-bull)
adverb.
1. being unable to touch one's own genitals.
2. being afraid of one's own genitals (collirphobia)
3. unpleasant swelling of one's genitals.
Item Number 3: Do you believe we'll ever attain world peace?
This is an interesting one. My total views on world peace and attaining moral perfection is a confusing one. Long story short, once we can get over racial tensions, religious tensions, and gender tensions, then all will depend on personality and the nature of the spirit. Only then will we respect each other enough to prevent war.
Item Number 4: Communism or Ayn Rand?
A mixture of both would be ideal for me. Socialism as a concept is quite wonderful. Everyone doing the same amount of work and getting the same pay. The concept is flawed, however, because of the reasons I stated for Item Number 3. Ayn Rand's philosophy makes the individual human spirit the primary focus of life, and I most definitely agree with that.
Item Number 5: Is your costume ready for Halloween?
No it is not. I am going with a group of people, and we are replicating all the characters from Clue, the board game. I have drawn the lot of Colonel Mustard, and I can't wait to wear a monocle and some Army boots.
Well, that's my post, guys. I wanted to tell you two things before I close this post. First of all, our Creative Writing class is modernizing the Grimm Fairy Tales, so when I finish with mine, I'll post it on this blog. Secondly, I have been planning more and more for the big writing project I'll be doing in November. I start official planning in October, and you'll see every step of my planning as I do it. I did want to tell you though that I will be writing a collection of short stories for that "novel", and they will all be linked to each other in some way. That is all. See you next time, where I will go into some of my current various musical interests.
#1 - Wow...that's risky. I hope no one got offended if they figured out who was who...
ReplyDelete#2 - Kolpophobia: Fear of genitals, particularly female.
#3 - Reread what you typed...
racial tensions: never going away.
religious tensions: zealots will never conform or compromise.
gender tensions: this has actually eased tremendously, but there are still glass ceilings and good old boys clubs to deal with.
personality: the different and opposing types will always clash, unless you wish everyone to conform to the same exact behavior, beliefs, mannerisms...basically everything that makes an individual a unique entity.
#4 - Gee, I remember telling you that about Socialism a long time ago :) In a perfect world not driven by greed and ambition, socialism could be the best system. But it will never work for humans because humans will never change THAT much. You should really listen to and read the lyrics for Rush's 2112, inspired by Ayn Rand.
Yes, it is over 20 minutes long, but is considered to be one of the best in rock.
