1. Brief eye contact, at the very least, to acknowledge the approacher's presence. Keeping a pleasant facial expression helps. Don't oversmile; it makes you look crazy. 2. I believe the school experience in itself is social training. Making friends, dealing with conflict, finding out what you enjoy, where you excel, following "rules", presentation skills, yadda yadda. 3. If the classes existed I wouldn't have taken them seriously until I grew older and realized their usefulness. - 1. If life were like a box of chocolates, which chocolate would you consider the best to have? 2. Let's say you could magically replace a line of lyrics to any single song. As if the song has always been that way. Name the song & the new line of lyrics. 3. If you could be a non-speaking (but very noticeable) extra in any movie, what would the movie be?

1. Ooh, I'd love to be in either "The Longest Journey" or "The Lost Crown", because they're my favorite adventures, and have awesome atmospheres. I'd probably want to be April from TLJ, so I can travel back and forth, while I'd like to be a ghost in one of the churches. It's very serene, although I'm sure I'd get bored without anyone to talk to. Nigel better come and visit me!
2. I would love to see...England. Enough said. 3. Yes, I love science fiction, as long as they don't take themselves too seriously. I love "Red Dwarf", a comedy sci fi, "Andromeda"-a more serious sci fi, and even the original "Star Trek". Great questions! There's a rather serious question I've been pondering for awhile, and would like your opinions on, so I'll just give the one, if that's alright. 1. Who knows a person 'better'; someone who has known the person a long time, but not closely, or someone who knows a person very closely, but not for a long time?

I think that the best answer to this question is probably a mix of these two. One can say that knows another only if he/she has spend a long time with he/she and got to get close to that person so as to get to know him/her. But I have to say that sometimes it just so happens that a person who you don't know for a great deal of time,you get to know it much more than some people who you know almost your whole lifetime or that person gets to know you better than some other people in your life. For example you may have friends that you know for a very long time but they might know little things about you. That has to do with the connection that you have with each person and if it's strong and you confide in them and tell them stuff or you simply hang out for just a laugh and have no interest in knowing each other better. However, time makes you familiar with the other person so they may know some stuff that a person you just met and you know for a little time can't possibly know. For example, your reactions when you're angry,sad,frustrated,happy etc.
Anyway, generally I think that it depends on the people and I think that both cases have happened and are valid...I don't know which one is better. |

What is a more pressing concern to you: that people in your geographical region will be living in difficult conditions in a few decades due to global warming, or that people in geographical regions other than your own live in difficult conditions right now?

2. The forums have indeed increased my knowledge on life in some countries. I've met people from several different countries through these forums and even seen a new country. I feel very fortunate to have had that opportunity. 3. My concern is for geographical regions other than my own. In fact my own region might even benefit some from global warming since vast areas that today aren't suitable for cultivation might benefit in that regard. -------- 1. What person is most important to you today? 2. What recent news have affected you most lately? 3. What person do you miss the most today?

It needs to be engaging but not too stressful. Any ideas? 3) My website is about to disappear, and we're so tight for money right now that I'm not sure we'll have the money to renew in time. It'll be years of work gone for good. I'm trying to think of ways I can raise capital to keep the site. Any ideas? Last edited by Lee in Limbo; 01-23-2011 at 09:17 AM. |

2. I think you'd really like Echo Bazaar. I've been playing it pretty regularly for a couple of months, now. 3. Well, you could scour Craigslist regularly for jobs you could do until you get one. Or you could put as much of your stuff as possible on a free web host somewhere, just in case. Or you could, er, ask a dear friend of yours to help? Anyone else can feel free to answer Lee's questions, too. An opinion that's not mine might be more helpful. --- 1. Do 3D movies have any point other than just being headache-inducing gimmickry? 2. Who would you rather have dinner with, given the opportunity: five of your favourite famous people (corpses reanimated where necessary), or five of your closest internet friends? 3. How do I get the word out about something cool I made without it looking like I'm an annoying spammer?

1)What do you mean how many?As far as I know only one...if there is a Nafsikalternate in an Alternative Universe well I don't know. And well obviously in Greece.
2)Because people think they know it all but my theory is that as we grow older we get more stupid, at least that applies for the majority of the people.Anyway who cares anyway?Maybe they just wanna take revenge because when they were children nobody took them seriously eitherXD what losers! 3)Rizospastis ahahahahahahha no no hmmm I don't know and I don't care. Maybe New York Times...XD Quote:
