1. How many pages do you think a decent book should ideally have?
Enough, so it looks great in the shelf.

2. What's you favourite colour on the following:
Most of my clothes are of these colours.
- Socks -black (or very dark blue/grey, no other colours tolerated!)
- Shirts -gray, black, khaki, brown, orange, yellow, dark red
- Trousers -grey, black, dark blue
- Shoes -black, or some other darker colour.

what's more impotant is that they're made of cotton (or leather) and can be all washed in 40 - 60 C temp. No white clothes!

3. What is you favourite bell sound?
sort of a gong -like. vibrating with sustain.

4. Do you like frogs?
yes.

5. Can you explain a complex concept using the minimum amount of words?
Probably not. explaining complex things often requires going into details.

6. How many times do you find yourself bored on average per day?
Not really often anymore. I have too much to do, and I seem fail at doing it.

to some extent.

7. How many hours do you sleep at night?
4 - 6 hours. during weekends up to 12.

Deepends on the company I'm with.

13. Do you have an ambivalent relationship with pets or animals in general?
not really, except for insects.

14. Are you the sort of person who takes medication for the mildest of headaches?
no. I don't even remember the last time I took painkillers. (the dentist appointment doesn't count)

15. How much water do you drink on average per day?
hopefully enough.

16. What's your views on piercing?
Not too in that stuff, but it can be a attractive detail in some cases.

17. Are you a violent or aggressive human being?
hopefully not.

18. How many days or hours can you go without food?
never tried to go without food.

19. Have you got a major and detrimental addiction to anything?
no. (internet doesn't count because it's a necessity)

20. What are your plans for this world?
plans tend to fail, no plans.

anthropomorphism - giving non-living items uniquely human personality traits

Does anyone else think third bridge is a bit reminiscent of 'third eye' or 'third way', that is, hideous and a bit stinky-hippy like?

pbradley 02.13.2008 02:26 PM

Quite the opposite, SY's thrid bridge sounds terribly lucid like a more metallic sounding harp. If that makes sense.
