Odd Questions And Odd Answers: Guest Post By Squimp

Here are Squimp's answers to the odd questions!  Thanks for playing Squimp!  And happy birthday to you too.  Seriously, it's every ones birthday.  I'm not just making this up.



1. What book/movie character represents you when you are acting evil?
When I am being Evil, I act like Lucy from Peanuts. Not really the movie, but more the sunday strip comics. I always act like when lucy is holding the football for charlie brown, and right when he kicks- she yanks it out from under him.
2. You have two months to live. What do you do in those two months?
If I had 2 months left to live, I go to a comic con, and start setting up life like scenarios from different British tv shows. For example if it where doctor who, I would steal a microphone and start tapping it 4 times over and over. Then I would play with the light switch, and yell out “don't blink!…Seriously stop blinking!!” For the sherlock fans I would sneak up behind them and say, “did you miss me?”.
3. What is that thing you always have with you, that no one else thinks is a necessity but you feel lost without?
My brain. I just hate it when I leave my brain at home. I literally cannot function!! Its so hard when all I can think about are like, what time is lunch? or contemplate how weird my face looks from the side.
4. You are lost alone in the wilderness, and you know that this forest is infested with cannibals. Who would you be most happy to have come and save you?
If I was stuck in the woods with cannibals I would want Miss piggy to save me. She can scare anyone away. And the canabals wouldn't eat her, they would just get really annoyed and leave.
5. What smell or sound makes you happy?
The smell that makes me happy is the smell of this little pillow that I have had since i was a baby. I don't know why but when I sleep with it I have the most awesome dreams….
6. You have to choose between dancing alone on stage in front of hundreds of people, or start a conversation with your crush. Which do you choose?
Dancing. I think that dancing on a stage alone wouldn't be that scary. When I perform I’ll be nervous for a little while, but then ill just get lost in whatever I am doing. And honestly when I perform, the more people there are, the less nervous I am. So bring it!
7. You suddenly find yourself tragically without a family and without a home. If you could decide, who would you choose to adopt you as your new family? Or would you want to live alone?
I always thought that I would come live with Dr Elemis Pott. Because I mean her room Is big enough and you know, she already has a ton of siblings. Plus then we could make cheesy movies 24/7!!!
8. What smell or sound makes you sad?
The sound of crying makes me sad. Whenever I hear or see someone crying my brain is automatically like, “She’s crying….should we be crying?….I think we should be crying…. Open up the flood gates boys!!!!”
9. What movie/book character represents you when you are being virtuous and heroic?
When I am being super heroic I think that I am most like the prince from enchanted. Because really when I think I am being super heroic, I am really just being super dumb and oblivious.
10. Is there something dorky that you think is cool and wish was socially acceptable?
YES. I wish that I could go everywhere dressed like a Wesley. Seriously how cool would that be?!?!?
11. What’s better, a Chick-fill-a sandwich, or a fancy green nutritious lunch?
Chick-fill-a. Always.

12. If you could make up how the rest of your year would go, how would it go?
I would move to a big 20 acre ranch, get horses, and get one of these little attic style bedrooms with a door disguised as a bookshelf.
13. If you could choose your death, how would you die?
I would like to die saving someones life. It just seems like the best way to go.

14. How are you?
Physically i am fine. But mentally and emotionally I am almost always a mess. I guess I would say that I generally feel like a tornado. Just a harmless cloud one minute then I could level a city the next.
15. You were selected to fight in the Hunger Games. What do you do? Do you try to win?
Well my weapon would be a bow and arrow (since apparently they cant have AR15’s) but I would try my best to hide out the entire time.

16. Why are you still reading this?
Why am I still reading this……Why am I still reading this? I don't know. I guess I need to have a talk with my brain.

17. As a school project, you are given a piece of paper, a pen, a dark room, and fifteen minutes to write anything you want. What do you write?
I would probably draw. Then invent a cartoon character….or three. Then write a lame short story about aliens that are attracted to potatoes. There will probably be a weird grandpa in there somewhere.

Odd Questions and Odd Answers: Guest Post by Nurse ME

Here is a guest post from ME!  Thanks for playing ME!  And happy birthday to you too.

Question 1. What book/movie character represents you when you are acting evil?
I don't think I act "evil" all that often (though you might need to ask my family), however, when I do, it's probably somewhat like Drusilla and Anastasia with Cinderella.

Question 2. You have two months to live. What do you do in those two months?

Wow... that's deep. I'm sure a mix of contrasting emotions would be running through my head: Happiness: Hey, I'm going home! And Sadness: I don't want to leave my friends and family!- Which would probably lead me to devoting more and more time to God, in prayer and in His Word, and more and more time to my friends and family.


Question 3. What is that thing you always have with you, that no one else thinks is a necessity but you feel lost without?

To be perfectly honest- probably myself. I mean, I DO always have to bring myself with me, and yet some people may think that I'm not necessary to bring along at all... :D


Question 4. You are lost alone in the wilderness, and you know that this forest is infested with cannibals. Who would you be most happy to have come and save you?

Anyone from a handsome prince riding a royal-bred steed to an old hobo with no teeth and fleas- at this moment I don't think I could care less. Just please save me!!!!


Question 5. What smell or sound makes you happy?

I'm almost sure that nothing could possibly make me happier than the soothing sound of a tuned cello.


Question 6. You have to choose between dancing alone on stage in front of hundreds of people, or start a conversation with your crush. Which do you choose? And why?

I choose dancing alone on a stage in front of hundreds of people. Why? Well, for one, it'd probably be even more awkward talking to someone who doesn't exist. Besides, I'd probably embarrass the hundreds of people watching me more than myself. XD


Question 7. You suddenly find yourself tragically without a family and without a home. If you could decide, who would you choose to adopt you as your new family? Or would you want to live alone?

Answer: Wow. That's heartbreaking. But if I have to answer... (Looks up beamingly) We could be sisters!!!!!


Question 8. What smell or sound makes you sad?

An UN-tuned cello.







Question 9. What movie/book character represents you when you are being virtuous and heroic?

In my most virtuous and heroic moments I likely most resemble Wesley when he jumps in to the sand pit at the Fire Swamp to save Buttercup. ... :D


Question 10. Is there something dorky that you think is cool and wish was socially acceptable?

At the moment, I can't think of anything in particular- but I'm sure I do.


Question 11. What's better, a Chick-fill-a sandwich, or a fancy green nutritious lunch?

Chick-fill-a sandwiches are amazing. I agree with you 100%! (But veggies are great, too!)


Question 12. If you could make up how the rest of your year would go, how would it go?

Well- Probably less cold and more sunshine, less school yet better grades, more health and less illness, plenty of music and games, more bonding time with my cello, and plenty of time to spend with my family and with my friends.


Question 13. If you could choose your death, how would you die?

For Jesus, my Lord and Savior. Even if that means dying a martyr.


Question 14. How are you?

Right now, I'd say I'm feeling very blessed. Even though I'm quite busy just now and rather tired, God's blessed me with joy and peace.


Question 16. Why are you still reading this?

Why am I still reading this? Well, I can tell you right now- I think this is fun. As much as I may have better things to do, I think answering your odd questions is actually quite worth my time. :D


Question 17. As a school project, you are given a piece of paper, a pen, a dark room, and fifteen minutes to write anything you want. What do you write?

My will.

Odd Questions and Odd Answers, Guest Post by GMC

Here are GMC's answers to the odd questions!  (And happy birthday by the way).


Question 1. What book/movie character represents you when you are acting evil?

Anybody watch Lilo and Stitch? It’s rare that I act evil but when I do, I act like Stitch (little blue alien) when he is all nice to Lilo (little Hawaiian girl) and teases Jumba (big alien).
The scene I just mentioned:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-8moBhl6N4


Question 2. You have two months to live. What do you do in those two months?

That’s happy and sad… I would pray a lot. I would try to help the people around me coup. Probably try not to think about it too much…


Question 3. What is that thing you always have with you, that no one else thinks is a necessity but you feel lost without? 

I always have my camera with me, even though I never use it…


Question 4. You are lost alone in the wilderness, and you know that this forest is infested with cannibals. Who would you be most happy to have come and save you?

I’d be happy with just about any friend! Whether someone comes and we have a fun time fighting cannibals or someone comes and we have a fun time running from cannibals.


Question 5. What smell or sound makes you happy?

I’m always happy hearing other people’s laughs!


Question 6. You have to choose between dancing alone on stage in front of hundreds of people, or start a conversation with your crush. Which do you choose?

I would start a conversation with my crush! Why wouldn’t you want to talk to the person you like? ;P Dancing alone on stage sounds fun too…


Question 7. You suddenly find yourself tragically without a family and without a home. If you could decide, who would you choose to adopt you as your new family? Or would you want to live alone?

My family is gone! That’s terrible! I would probably choose a family that let me finish my college degree with them… But since that’s the most boring answer I can think of… It would be fun to choose a really rich person and depending on the type of tragic death, avenge my family, if necessary.


Question 8. What smell or sound makes you sad?

The sound of people who are sad. Especially if I care about that person. (I don’t care if it’s cliché ;P)


Question 9. What movie/book character represents you when you are being virtuous and heroic? 

What about the emperor’s new groove? Anybody remember watching that? I can be a lot like Pacha (the dude in the green poncho) when I’m being good/heroic. 
Rescue scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mB-YewEqcY


Question 10. Is there something dorky that you think is cool and wish was socially acceptable?

Hahahahahahahahahha! I like a bunch of dorky things (I’m not a fan of the definition of dorky though, so I’m using my own!)! I like it even more when other people do dorky things! It’s a bunch of fun!


Question 11. What's better, a Chick-fill-a sandwich, or a fancy green nutritious lunch?

Chick-fil-a is delicious, but it depends on the level of fancy…


Question 12. If you could make up how the rest of your year would go, how would it go?

Ouch! It’s questions like this that remind me of all the me that I’m not! Something along the lines of perfect grades, great health, good times with friends and family, winning the lottery, you know the simple things…


Question 13. If you could choose your death, how would you die?
Saving a loved one! (or loved many people…)


Question 14. How are you?

Really busy! Tired and happy! If you are expecting a metaphor I would probably say I feel like a crack in a frozen lake. Not the lake that’s actually cold and cracking, just the splintering crack, travelling forward with spontaneity and force without any direction but an end in mind.


Question 15. You were selected to fight in the Hunger Games. What do you do? Do you try to win?

I’ve answered this question before… (in a bunch of detail I might add…) What do I do? Pray and not kill anyone. Try to find food so I don’t die a miserable death… Most likely stumble into a trap and die miserably…


Question 16. Why are you still reading this?

You’re right! There are much better ways to spend my time! I should be studying, sleeping, learning a new language, learning the piano, memorizing lines for a play, and reading the Constitution! Oh! And you’re right! I should exercise more! Push-ups are great exercise…..maybe later…..maybe…..


Question 17. As a school project, you are given a piece of paper, a pen, a dark room, and fifteen minutes to write anything you want. What do you write?

Scribbles, scribbles and more scribbles. I don’t know what kind of super power a person needs to be able to write in the dark… probably electric eyeballs.

Odd Questions And Odd Answers

I like questions.  So because you've decided to take the time to suffer my blog,  here are a list of odd questions for you to answer, with explanations on how to answer them.  The goal of this game is to come up with honest, but odd answers.  If your answer is typical and everyone else would say the same thing, change it up a little.  Be creative.
Example: "What's your favorite dessert?"  you might answer: "Ice cream" but because it's such a typical answer, make it more interesting and maybe say, "Overly caffeinated coffee ice cream when it's almost completely melted and I can drink it like a frappuccino."  Be truthful of course.  Don't make up something not true even if it's creative.
I had a drama teacher who encouraged us to take simple little things, and use our creativity to turn them into something amazing even if it's scientifically stupid.  So that's what I'm getting at with this game.


Question 1.  What book/movie character represents you when you are acting evil?
Ever saw a movie where a character acts like a jerk, yet you know you would have done the same thing?

Question 2.  You have two months to live.  What do you do in those two months?

Question 3.  What is that thing you always have with you, that no one else thinks is a necessity but you feel lost without? 

Question 4.  You are lost alone in the wilderness, and you know that this forest is infested with cannibals.  Who would you be most happy to have come and save you?

Question 5.  What smell or sound makes you happy?
Then think about why it makes you happy.
For example, I like the musty smell of cardboard boxes in a cold place.  It reminds me of being 5, playing in our scary Germany basement with my siblings right after we moved.  

Question 6.  You have to choose between dancing alone on stage in front of hundreds of people, or start a conversation with your crush.  Which do you choose?
And why?

Question 7.  You suddenly find yourself tragically without a family and without a home.  If you could decide, who would you choose to adopt you as your new family?  Or would you want to live alone?

Question 8.  What smell or sound makes you sad?

Question 9.  What movie/book character represents you when you are being virtuous and heroic? 

Question 10.  Is there something dorky that you think is cool and wish was socially acceptable?

Question 11.  What's better, a Chick-fill-a sandwich, or a fancy green nutritious lunch?
Hint:  The answer is always Chick-fill-a.

Question 12. If you could make up how the rest of your year would go, how would it go?

Question 13.  If you could choose your death, how would you die?
I'm sorry, but I must share an answer I received when my friend asked this to another friend.  He hummed and put his hand to his chin and then looked up and said, "I'd like to have Alzheimers and go sky diving."
It was a slightly disturbing response, but incredible how he came up with something so cleaver so fast.
Please forgive me.

Question 14.  How are you?
This might be the hardest question to answer honestly.  "Good" is not an answer.  That's not even grammatically correct!  (I only know this because I have a smart family).  Once, after a relaxation exercise, my drama teacher answered this question by saying, (in her New Zealand accent) "Well, everyone is going to say relaxed, so I'm going to say that I feel like the hum of a guitar string right after it's been plucked." And she beamed with pride.  I have to say I was blown away with this response.  (I'm not saying your answer has to be that poetic).

Question 15.  You were selected to fight in the Hunger Games.  What do you do?  Do you try to win?
Sorry.  This is a depressing question.  If you don't know the Hunger Games, don't even answer.

Question 16.  Why are you still reading this?
You have better things to do.  Go do some push-ups and come back.

Question 17.  As a school project, you are given a peace of paper, a pen, a dark room, and fifteen minutes to write anything you want.  What do you write?

Domino

I've been developing a new story, with new characters, and I'm really excited.
I've decided to call my book A Tangle in Reality, until I find something less-dumb.
Here's little about my main characters past so you aren't confused when you read his poem:

A Tangle in Reality is about a high school boy, Domino (Dominic Deep) who was born non-existent.  His parents never met until they died, and they were married as ghosts.  So Domino was born a...spirit...phantom...Thing.
Domino's parents wanted their son to experience real life on earth, like any normal Joe.  So Domino was put in the care of their still-living friends.
Domino grew up like any normal kid, only with restraints, being non-existent and all.  He can feel and touch, but nothing can feel or touch him.  He's just a soul with the image of a person.  (This makes transportation very difficult).  His best friend Sylvester Burn (Savy) used to help him with everything Domino couldn't do.  But Savy passed away when Domino was 13.
Domino never kept his non-existence a secret.  In fact, he was quite popular for it.  He's been on Fox News, magazines, You Tube, and has published a few poems he wrote.
Here's one of Domino's poems:

Humanage 
I am a humanage,
You may have seem me before.
I am a mere mirage,
The stem of an apple core.
I know I lack a surface,
The word grows numb to my touch.
And when I leave,
I leave no trace,
But oh, I feel so much.
I feel the warmth and the stinging cold,
And the wind that challenges me to be bold.
I've been where death has crushed me to dirt,
So don't act afraid,
Don't act so alert,
Don't look at me like a mismatched sock,
I'm not a ghost and I'm not a rock.
I'm simply the humanage.
