ask_whitechocolatewalrus u24 have you grown up, and if so, when and why? 040113 ... nom is there a darkchocolatewalrus? 040113 ... whitechocolatewalrus User24, I would have to say that in one sense, I have not frown up, because I am very short. But, I am more mature than most of my peers, I do not usually derive the same happiness from stupidness and immaturity, although I do derive some. If being more mature means that I have grown up, then I guess I have. Other than that, I would say I haven't really grown up. There are a lot of things in this world that I have not seen or experienced, such as love and... disaster? I don't know. Overall, I would say I haven't grown up completely yet, I am just getting there faster than other people my age. That was a good ramble, thankyou u24:) 040113 ... whitechocolatewalrus a darkchocolatewalrus? nom, there is only me. i suppose if i were in a bad mood or mad or being mean or something, you could theoretically say i was being dark, so i would then be darkchocolatewalrus. OR... maybe there is a completely different walrus that I don't even know about that is evil, very evil, and people know 'it' as darkchocolatewalrus and 'it' is trying to kill me. spoooo!, this is no good. SAVEmeeeeeeeee 040113 ... walrus i am good at interchanging g's with f's. 040113 ... pipers yes, i noticed too;) spoo is turning walrus dark! doppelganger smallurs! beware the spoooooooo 040113 ... mon heheh ha! great answer 040113 ... u24 how old are you, you may answer in terms of earth years, or by another medium if you wish. I ask merely for reference, so earth years would answer my question, but another answer may answer your questions. 040114 ... Death of a Rose Have you ever considered a career as a librarian? 040114 ... Death of a Rose oh and my favourite mammal might turn out to be a smallrus....or is it? . 040114 ... whitechocolatewalrus u24, this is me, and i-am-not-an-alien, but if i were, i would be green and ugly but very cool because i was different and i would lie about my age because aliens never ever tell the truth, it is there destiny to die young, even if they are older than the earth world. [a green walrus, very appetizing, yum] 1068-432-597-22=my age but only until the yellow month, then you would have to add 1. 040114 ... whitechocolatewalrus Doar, i did think about it during my days of actually wondering what i wanted to do [this was before i decided that i didn't really want to decide yet because nothing sounded appealing] but, i realized that although i love books dearly, i hate hate Hate silence. everyone knows that librarys are a place of peace and a place of quiet, and i would die without noise, any type of noise. 040114 ... whitechocolatewalrus a smallrus, yes, these animals are described by there smallness and ability to turn circles without becoming dizzy. their eyes twinkle when they are plotting mischievious actions and they appear to be very similar to a normal walrus. the defining difference is that a smallrus is skinny and midget like almost as well as being full of energy. a walrus is fat and lazy and generally is the ruler of the flying_fish world. 040114 ... Death of a Rose so, when a baby is born, at that very moment, is this new being inherently evil or good? 040118 ... pipers i'd say, even though this is smallrus' opinon-milking page, that babies are tabula rasa and their being good or bad depends on a blend of nature and nurture. of course, anything that can cry for extended periods of time at ungodly hours of the wee morn can't be *all* innocence;) 040118 ... Whitechocolatewalrus I think that we are born inherintly different. Depending upon our parents, each of us gains a separate set of genes. Some of us may recieve mostly bad genes and some of us may recieve mostly good genes, and we all recieve a little of both. This is not to say that those who recieve bad genes will always turn out bad and those who recieve mostly good genes will always turn out good. The turning out part has a lot to do with environment: the friends we make, our family, mentors, and many other things. Also, not all bad parents raise bad kids, and not all good parents raise good kids. So I guess what I am trying to say is that we can be born good or we can be born evil. Most likely these begining traits will end up defining who we will become, but it is possible for them to be overcome by the environmental situation. Pd, do you have a question for me? :) 040118 ... pipers shore i do! what would you eat if you could eat just one thing for the rest of your life? (gummy bears are not a viable answer;) ) 040119 ... whitechocolatewalrus only one thing? I was about to say raspberries, because they are quite possibly my favoritest food ever, but I don't think I could handle eating only raspberries forver and ever. I suppose I really really like filet mignon, medium rare, but i can't imagine eating only that either. Can this be a meal? because I think I would say lasagna and fresh bread with butter, apple sauce, and a nice, slightly chilled glass of apple juice. If it can't be a meal, then I guess I would have to choose chicken alfredo, but it would have to be homemade. 040119 ... oldephebe i love pipers proscriptions.. loosly delineating the parameters and subset of potential responses to her queries.. okay wcw - I have two for you. Why do you hate silence or the sound thereof? What do you think of the smell of birch? (as in wood/tree, i've got this theory, that wood/tree's should, and probably are by some, be classified in a hiearchy of olfactory exudate, okay so not exactly a rubric for taxonomic nomenclature or anything..but mmm.. i love the smell of wood personally, my fav is mahogany..it conjures up all of these comforting associations.. :) 040120 ... Whitechocolatewalrus Hater of silence. Okay, well, first off, I really love music, most any kind of music, so if possible, I like to listen to it. But if that isn't possible, I like a little background noise, not necessarily really loud like a basketball/football/soccer/hockey game, but loud enough so that it isn't completely quiet. When it is completely quiet, I find that I can't stop thinking about things. Now normally, you would think, people need to think about things. But I tend to think and think and rethink things until they can't be thunk anymore and then continue to keep on thinking about those things. I don't really have the greatest self esteem and if I think about something for a long enough time, I somehow end up blaming myself for the reasons as to why they happen and start thinking about all of my faults. Anyway, I am working on this. If there is noise or music, I can concentrate on that and keep my thinking to a minimum. Birch! I don't necessarily remember actually smelling a birch tree just to smell it, but I did eat the bark of a birch tree once. I was on a run with two of my firends and they didn't believe I would eat the bark of a birch tree. I told them if I did, they would have to buy me some ice cream. Ha! I will eat just about anything. It actually didn't taste all that bad, so I would imagine it smells quite good. Maybe somebody should invent a birch scented candle or something. 040120 ... whitechocolatewalrus and apparently I have started calling my friends firends. but it's a word! imagine that. mabe a firend is a funeral service for a dead fir tree. I could be completely wrong on this. 040120 ... oE heh heh..nifty neologisms...nice..! blah blah language is protean..blah blah each new generation inaugerates change..self referential..addressing the unique gestalt of the age.. i have got to either get me a pulpit or a professorial dais or soemthing..maybe i could work on weekends as a tour guide.. we used to dare one another as kids to eat bark in the rustic hills of montgomery county pennsylvania... there's a few medicinal teas though made from steeping cords of bark in hot water.. silence can be oppressive..yeah.. 040120 ... pipers silence is noisy. it buzzes in your ears and weighs down in your head and amplifies thoughts you don't particularly want to think. i've never minded silence before, but now for the first time, i don't want to be alone with what's in my head. its a little scary. 040120 ... Doar correct blathing posture, as to avoid those oh so terrible things such as chair breaking while leaning back, back is put out after a 12 hr blatherbinge? 040131 ... whitechocolatewalrus plant your feet firmly on the floor (no crossed legs) and sit on the last eight to ten inches of the chair edge. remember to sit up straight. pretend there is a string running from your waist up though your body and out your head connecting to the ceiling. think about how this string is pulled tight and how you have to sit up straight. once you start to slouch after a couple of hours, or even a couple minutes, slap yourself across the face and say "sit up before i hurt you." yes, this may be considered to be crazy, talking to yourself and things, but at least your back won't have to go to the hospital:) of course, i just tend to go with the -lean back and rest your feet on the garbage can under the desk- posture, but who ever said i was a good role model? [by the way, 12 hours? i'm impressed:] 040201 ... smurfus rex related to pd's question above: if you could read all the books you want for the rest of your life, but you could only choose books by one author, who would you read? 040201 ... whitechocolatewalrus i am going to assume that this author will keep on writing books for the rest of my life so that my supply of books will never run out. this is a hard decision, but right now i have it narrowed down to three. Stephen Chbosky wrote my favoritest book ever, the_perks_of_being_a_wallflower, but that is the only book i have read by him and i don't think i would want to read that style of book forever. next, there is Madeleine L'Engle who i love. i have read every single one of her books. she has a unique style even though a lot of her stories are similar. i could probably read only her forever. then there is Mary Downing Hahn. She is probably my first favorite author. a lot of her stories are for younger kids, but there are some for mid to late teens also. i love all of her books. there isn't a single one that i have disliked reading, and i have read all of them. the problem with her is that after so many books i might get bored of her style, although i love her style. so after typing all of this, i come to realize that i would have to pick Madeleine L'Engle. excellent question smurfus :) 040201 ... Confuzzled to the Extreme Why are you so nice to Doar? :-) 040209 ... minnesota_chris when will you return my calls?!? 040209 ... smallrus Doar! Because you roxor. You remind me of orange sloths and flying pigs and treehouses. :) 040209 ... whitechocolatewalrus Dear minnesota_chris, I got a new cell phone a couple of weeks ago. So if you were calling the old number, I never received any messages. so soory:( check my_cell_number, I think I re-posted it. 040209 ... minnesota_chris I thought you hated me or were really shy! 040209 ... walrie Hate? Bah! Thats only for sheeps. You are cool:) and, you live in minnesota. 040209 ... pipers how would you ward off a sheepy feeling then? *makes cross of peppermint sticks* back, vile demon! 040209 ... whitechocolatewalrus To ward off a sheepy feeling, you would just have to imagine yourself as a sheep. A sheep climbing a tree no less. If this does not work, you must pull out your stash of knives and yell at the approaching sheepiness: "back off! do Not contest the power of knives! I will win!" If even this does not work, forget all else and lie down in the pasture of green and take a nap:) 040209 ... pipers a nap in a pasture, i love naps in pastures. they don't even make you itchy like rolling down hills do. what do you do if a sheep nibbles your toes? 040209 ... whitechocolatewalrus you kick it in the face. if you feel uncomfortable or mean doing this, you should roll about and kick your legs and start convulsing. it will look like you are having a seizure and the sheep will be frightened and run on down the path, the pathless path, in a sheepyness style, leaving you to re-sleep in the napping fashion. 040210 ... pipers and what if the sheep begins to watch one convulse, and then laugh and laugh and laugh? 040210 ... whitechocolatewalrus stab it with your said knive collection. if you don't like killing animals, then watch it laugh, or leave. i personally would probably feed it a sleeping pill or anthrax or something. probably a sleeping pill because it would be fun to see a sheep fall over into a deep sleep. 040211 ... Doar When you wave your hand really fast in front of your face, how many fingers can you count? 040318 ... whitechocolatewalrus one two three four five six seven eight eight eight eight eight seven eight seven eight six seven eight seven eight nine ten nine eight seven six five four three two three two two three two three four three one three eight nine eight six ten. 040318 ... Doar can you see answers before you have questions? 040319 ... whitechocolatewalrus there Are no questions there are No anwers how can you see what does not exiSt? if we Were able to remembEr the future answeRs would come in multitudes but tell me, what iS the point of knowing an answer if it is not answering a question? 040319 ... no reason yarr, where're ye from? 040817 ... whitechocolatewalrus in the most technical sense, i am from my mother's womb. but you probably guessed that otherwise, i am from the lonely state of idaho located in the not so united states of america which serves its place below canada and above mexico bordered on the west by the pacific ocean and on the right by the atlantic ocean and this reminds me that for somereason i have always liked the word west better than the word east and the word right better than the word left don't ask me why. 041226 ... doar are there chemicals between us? 050907 ... walrie we never meant you harm never meant you wrong i’d like to thank all of my lovers, lovers, lovers 050925 ... walrie (i have a new answer) yes. there are chemicals everywhere. 051111 ...
