"Ask Goldy" (I never thought I would ever make one of these).

[Kaligraphic]

Which life would you prefer, from among these three:
1: You get married, have a family, and kids, and barbecues on the weekends, and all that stuff.
2: You become a businesswoman, working long hours for the reward of a fancy desk and vague promises of a windowed office.
3: You end up traveling through time in the company of a Time Lord, and accidentally drop Adolf Hitler on his head as a baby. You then spend the rest of your life in a vastly altered future where RoboStalin and his army of mechanized communists rule the world with a titanium fist.

Without resorting to a list of options, what is your real ideally imagined life?

What is your favorite food?

[yukoxholic]

Heyya Goldie, you have all these nicknames and now I'm on a quest to give you another!

My questions for you are:

1.) What is the best advice you've ever given and received?
2.) What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?
3.) Ninjas? Pirates? or Pink bunnies?

[goldenspines]

Lots of questions, this is good. 8D

@ GeneD: 1. Frankly, "simply draw" is the first thing on my list. XD I consider illustration like a graphic design major, only with more doodling. I'm not positive what I plan to do with it. I think I try illustrating children's books to making story boards for films.
2. All the gentlemen and selected ladies, please don't hate me, but by far, one of my favorite books is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Though, she is not my favorite author; that would be C.S. Lewis.
3. "I just can't wait to be king" from the Lion King.
4. No, I haven't. If I had, I probably wouldn't like elevators as much as I do now. XD And, I would like to be stuck in a elevator with someone who has really good cell phone reception in an elevator so they can call for help. XD
5. I do, of course. *is kidding* Actually, while I try to make it a fact to look at people's sigs, and while most of them are great, I haven't really found one that is "the best", yet. ^_^
6. The gentleman in my avatar is Tamaki Suou from Ouran High School Host Club. He is dressed up as the Mad Hatter.

@ Rocklobster: Being able to keep CAA a safe and happy place for all its members. I consider a mod like any other good member on the forum, only with more tools to destroy evil and whatnot.

@ Gelka: All my cats have been rather resourceful and usually give themselves baths; so no, I have not. It's a risky job though, I'm sure.

@ Lady Kenshin: 1. No, but I did get to feed an elephant once.
2. Probably Ruth. I admire her the most, at least. To be able to trust a God she hardly knew and go into an uncertain life took a lot of faith on her part.

@ Kali: I LOL'd at option 3. Which is the one I choose, by the way. Though option 2 would be safer.
As for my ideal life, I don't have a particulars thought out. I try to avoid the housewife idea though. I'd rather have an active job that I enjoy doing for the rest of my life.
2. My favorite food (dish, I assume?) is rice in milk with cinnamon and sugar.

@ Yuko: Go for it, I'm always impressed when people can think of new nicknames. XD
1. I always try to give good advice when I can, the best that I have probably given is, in short words, "Please stop being emo and trust in God." And the best advice I've been given is "Please stop being emo and trust in God." XDD;
2. Ah, so many things, I think. So many things... The first one that comes to mind is traveling the US and visiting all the CAA members that I have a pleasure of knowing.
3. This choice matters on many things. What kind of ninjas, pirates and pink bunnies are we talking about? Naruto ninjas? Probably, no. One Piece pirates? Most likely, yes. Rabid pink bunnies? I'll pass.

[Kaligraphic]

Rice in milk with cinnamon and sugar? Raw, or as rice pudding? (If you're good at making rice pudding, you're my friend forever.)

[GeneD]

More questions:

1. Have you ever been out of the country/oversees? Where would you like to go if you could go anywhere?

2. What is the most disturbing movie / anime you've seen in recent years?

3. What are the everyday things you can’t do without?

4. If you were going to win a Nobel Prize, what category would you want to win?

5. Which limb would you exchange for $300 000?

(a) Right Arm
(b) Left Leg
(c) Forget it, you sicko!

6. What colour is your tooth brush?

7. Why don't you wear that jacket with that shirt?

8. As far as I know, this is my 1000ths post. What should I do to celebrate? (I'm still debating copying you with a questions thread, though I doubt many people will ask any). XD

9. How many roads can a man walk down?

[goldenspines]

@ Kali: It's not quite rice pudding, but a lot like it. It's warm cooked rice with milked poured over it, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.

@ GeneD: Do you have like a secret never-ending list of questions you've been hiding all this time? XD
1. Yes, twice. Once to Australia (lovely place) and once to Thailand (awesome shopping). I think I would like to visit either Japan or take a tour of Europe(or back to Australia again XD) if I could go anywhere.
2. Disturbing? Hmm, I found the Gin Tama anime rather disturbing. The manga is much less creepy.
3. Besides clothing; a laptop, a cell phone, my wallet, my car, and a good pair of high top converse shoes.
4. Even though I don't consider myself a writer, I think getting one in Literature would be awesome.
5. (c). I'd rather have my whole body intact than be rich. XD
6. Currently, it is a misty light green.
7. Because it's summer.
8. While imitation is the highest form of flattery, you should go out for ice cream instead.
9. As many as it takes. Or, to make Rushair (and many other people) happy, 42. It's always 42.

LOL. Totally hear ya on the "emo thang" and it is very good, sound, advice.

Aww, so sweet and that would also be quite a trip! ^_^

Naruto ninjas = Posers. One Piece Pirates = FTW, and rabid pink bunnies = no, unless you like your bunnies hyped up on too many energizers. XD

[Yahshua]

Your ship is sinking. There is one Lifeboat left that can only hold six people. As captain you have to choose who out of the twelve remaining passengers gets a place. The list you have is as follows:

A Top Doctor
The Purser
A Teacher
A Mother of two
A War hero
A Man in a wheelchair
A Chef
A Hairdresser
A Scout


Passenger details:

The 86 year old woman is a survivor of a concentration camp and an expert in survival techniques.

The nurse is a male trainee in week six of a one year training course.

The 16 year old boy is a young offender who regularly steals from old people.

The ‘top doctor’ is a female with extensive knowledge in hyperthermia.

The purser has been blinded in one eye.

A teacher is an instructor in yachting and navigation.

The mother of two is a woman in her sixties with two children in their forties.

The war hero is a man in his nineties.

The man in a wheelchair is an Olympic rower.

The chef is an army cook used to making food go round and meals out of not much food.

The hairdresser is a man in his twenties who in his spare time does voluntary work for St Johns Ambulance and has saved numerous lives.

A scout is a twenty year old man with survival techniques, team building experience and leadership skills.

So who will you chooses?

[rocklobster]

I suspect this is one of those famous people questions. Like the one where if you say yes, beethoven is aborted.

[Phantom_Sorano]

Hmm...you have had so many questions asked...but I'll try to come up with a new one.

1. If a movie resembled your life, which movie would it be and why?
2. What are five adjectives that come to mind when you consider who is a good person?

[goldenspines]

@ Dan: I recall doing this exact exercise for my communications class.
In all reality, I would try to save them all if I could, but for the sake of the exercise:
I would keep the Man in the Wheelchair, the Top Doctor, the Teacher, the Chef, the 86 year old woman, and the Hairdresser.

@ Rocklobster: Yes.

@ Soran: 1. Are you reffering to already made movies? Charlie's Angels. I'm not even going to explain that one either.
2. Honest, considerate, clever, willing to accept compliments (yes, this is like an adjective), and funny( not goofy funny, seriously funny. B[ )

[rocklobster]

What is your opinion of Harry Potter?

[goldenspines]

@ Rocklobster: I can't say I like the character too much; but that's just me though. I think the books are very well written, though. Enough so that one can fly through 800 pages, no problem.


@ Fish: Since answering your question 3, a bizzare circumstance has come up. I have no idea what the name of the song is, but make it stop. D:
"No fear, no pain!"

[Smile:)]

What do you like better Ice-Tea, or lemonade? =3

[GeneD]

@ GeneD: Do you have like a secret never-ending list of questions you've been hiding all this time? XD
8. While imitation is the highest form of flattery, you should go out for ice cream instead.

Maybe I do, coughcough. Thank you for the suggestion, I did go for celebratory ice cream. XD

1. Do you believe in the existence of extra-terrestrial life, sentient or not?

2. Do you have a (current) favourite non-anime T.V. series?

3. How many kids do you hope to have one day, if any?

[Kaligraphic]

Would you spawn a semi-sentient fungal assassin servant if you could?

If so, how would you use it?

What is your dream car?

Where would you most like to live, if you could live anywhere in the world?

What are your favorite pizza toppings?

[goldenspines]

@ Smile: Most definitely Iced tea, with quite a bit of sugar.

@ GeneD: 1. That's an interesting question. I can't say that I've ever thought about it much, I suppose. I just don't think I care much whether it does exist or not. XD;
2. I think I may have already answered this question before. :O It's the Mentalist or Doctor Who.
3. It really depends what I end up doing with my life. If I end up with a job that I love but doesn't leave much time for taking care of children, I'd say none. But if I did have the opportunity(and a husband XD), I think two kids would be my limit.

@ Kali: -Say....what now? XDD; I'm not particularly fond of fungi, so probably not. XD

-I currently have my dream car, sort of. A Honda Fit. Which is a very awesome car.
But, I suppose I do hope one day to have a purple Ford Mustang. >_>

-I like living where I'm at now, but if I could choose, I'd like either Seattle, WA or Sydney, Australia.

-Pepperoni and mushrooms.

[shooraijin]

I like Fits, but I have a Civic Si Sedan, so there.

[rocklobster]

Who are your favorite writers?

[Phantom_Sorano]

1. What was your most embarassing moment?
2. Who were your first friends when you started on the CAA?

[Kaligraphic]

Do you have a zombie plan?

Do you read webcomics?/which ones?

Are you awesome?

[Debitt]

askldf So I have to ask because you mentioned you were watching Hetalia: Favorite character from aforementioned series?

[goldenspines]

@ Shooby: A Civic Si Sedan is a very sweet car, I will admit. I still love my Fit though. <3

@ Rocklobster: I like most writers that can grab their readers with the first sentence of their story and ones that will keep the reader interested until the end. I don't often remember names of authors unless they are really good, and even then, I often forget. >_>;;

@ Soran: 1. Too many to count and I try not to remember them either. XD
I had one today, though, oddly enough. I was grilling potatoes and onions in a grilling basket and when I went to flip the basket over (to cook the other side), the latch came loose and all the contents came pouring out onto the ground. D:
2. In my first week on CAA, I recall meeting too many people to name who all became my friends rather quickly (they must have thought I was cool or something o.O), but the first people that actually talked to me were Nate and Yahshua(Dan).

@ Kali: 1. Rebuild my car to be able to convert into a boat, drive to the ocean, and hope zombies don't swim.
2. Not really. I tried to follow a few one time, but keep forgetting them. >.<
3. People have told me I am.

@ Debs: I personally love all the characters in that series. But, if I had to pick one, it would be Japan. Just because he seems like the silent and serious one who may know what he is actually doing in the Axis Powers. XD;
Sealand is pretty awesome too. But I haven't seen much of him yet.

[Debitt]

Heck yes, rock on Asia!

And I don't think zombies can swim, but underwater shambling might be in their repertoire. luckily water resistance is huge.

[Althaia]

hey goldy have you ever seen a manta ray?

[GeneD]

2. I think I may have already answered this question before. :O It's the Mentalist or Doctor Who.

My bad.
I have only one questions today, related to your recent fanfic.

If CAA was a real place and you had the sole responsibility (and an unlimited budget) to do so, how would you build (infrastructure and facilities) and furnish it? Feel free to go into as much detail as you have time for.

[goldenspines]

Oh noes, I forgot about this thread. D: Sorry. XDD;

@ Althaia: No, I have not. But I have seen a few other smaller species of rays on the great barrier reef. o.o

@: GeneD: I would furnish it like a coffee shop. A very, very big coffee shop.

[rocklobster]

Where did you get the quote in your signature?

[goldenspines]

@ Rocklobster: The [color="MediumTurquoise"]Everybody dies, but not everyone lives~[/color] one?
It's from a song by Superchic[k] called "Cross the Line".

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Do you have any pets?
