The 'Do you' thread....

Yes with fava beans and a nice Chianti

Some, when I get that question my usual response is 'Do you like adults?'

Do you slurp your coffee or tea when you are alone (like I just did.)

no soap for the most part, but solid soap for most of the rest. I wonder how marketing got us to shift to liquid soap now ? I dont see the benefit anymore

Do u use soap on your entire body each day or each time you take a bath/shower?

Hmm, perhaps not from a lack of people around, more like no people who are "like" me around. I.e similar interests, personalities ect. This being said, I am quite an introvert and quite happy in my own company / small collection of people.

Do you consider yourself clumsy?

I did for the short time I lived in Manhattan. I could get anywhere I wanted without worrying about traffic. Now I live somewhere that public transportation is so limited that I would be late to work every single day if I had to rely on it.

Do you prefer flying, driving, or taking a train to travel across your country (or to another state/province)?

I am an ELDER XORN! So I say Earth.



Do you play a musical instrument?

Yes, my favourite are lychees which have just come into season

Do you have a favourite movie that you still watch regularly?

No.
My current job is writing, and I haven't written a page in months. I've thought a lot about the stories though and come to an understanding of what changes I want. And that's progress too. My old job I haven't visited at all during all of 2021, due to Covid19. So I haven't done anything for them either.
So right now, no, I wouldn't say I work hard.


Do you want to learn something, some skills you don't have?

Yes I do, most of the time I start dreaming before I fall asleep.

Do you belong to any kind of group, besides gamers? (Like Goths, rockabillies, gun-nuts etc?)

Yes, I think so...though that depends on how demanding your job is and what your schedule is like. (Are you on-call? Do you do shiftwork?) etc.



Do you like Mandy Harvey's music?

As you probably gussed from her use of ASL, Mandy Harvey is Deaf.  Beautiful voice, even still and I love how she incorporates ASL into her music.     Re: listening to music outside my comfortzone......I try not to listen to Country or Rap.  Makes my ears bleed.


Do you open have any family traditions for the holidays?

Well, physically in terms of my body- I would have to say that my best days are behind me because I am in nowhere near as good of physical conditioning as I was in high school. Due to Martial Arts training 4 nights a week for three hours a night.....When I started at the age of 13, I was 5'8" 130 lbs with 13% body fat. In three years I gained three inches in height to my present height of 5'11" (180 cm), put on 30 lbs of muscle and dropped to 8.5% body fat. Then near the end of my high school career, my parents felt I needed to quit because they said I should focus on finishing high school with good grades, "and I was never going to attain my Black belt anyway" though I was only about a year away from doing so had I stayed on. Two years later, the school closed and the Founder (Si-Jo Gary Foo) moved his family back to England where he was from and he focused on the satelite school he had there.

I stopped working out/exercising and within the next decade I'd lost all that muscle I had gained. Ever since then I have been thin, but sat at a steady weight. Though I find now that I am far more prone to injury of various sorts especially as I get older.

Speaking in other respects such as Career and other life experiences....I feel the opposite for many reasons.

So for me, it's a bit of a mixed bag with complex answers.


Do you have a favourite season?

my favourite time of day is between 4 a.m. and 4:45 when I can sit in the livingroom, in the dark and in the peace and quiet....and enjoy my cup of coffee with no noise or lights or anything else.


Do you prefer roast beef or roast pork?
