My questions is were  you always into writing? 

Well, not really actually.

I used to be vary vary scientifically minded, and I used to focused allot on the individual fields of science in school because I kind of wanted to be a scientist. However, because of my lucid dreaming, I kind of arched near the end of secondary school because I loved the idea of making my own story based in my own world that I could alter to my will. 

So yeah, while I always created stories in my head, I only started putting them on paper two years ago ^w^

I hope this answers your question ^-^

Do you give life/relationship advice?

Do you give life/relationship advice?

Quite often actually, which I find surprising, since I have only been on this earth for 18 years

Regardless, I try to help out everyone with as much advice as possible. While I may be unable to change the path people go down, I always try to at least make the people I meet feel like they leave with something rather then nothing at all. After all, life is full of people who couldn't care less, so why be one of them when the world needs people who care?

So yeah! I am more then happy to provide life and relationship advice, although relationships aren't my strong suit

[Angle MoonShadow]

well....ok.

My problem is that I'm too much of a coward to date someone outside of my school, but I can't seem to find someone at my school that holds similar interests and values, so yeah.

Due to this issue, I've dated upwards of zero people. This of course leads to other social awkwardness, and even my mother worrying about my lack of relationships.... 

Any Advice?

My advice for right now is the same advice I live by; it just happens when it happens ^^

Simply put, your still in school. you still have allot more to be doing then worrying about relationships for now. if anything, what you need to do first is learn to be social, because people are more attracted to those who show their true colours, and its more likely for you and your significant other to fall for one-another when you both are honest and truthful to one another.

Regardless, what I would suggest is to first find out about yourself before you find out about others. heck, it takes some people 20 odd years to find out about themselves, let alone somebody else!

You should start by listing down your own strengths and weaknesses. But whatever you do, don't put yourself down. the simple fact that you want to go out and get into actual lasting relationships with others already puts you a step ahead of those who just don't care about others.

Then, when you have that list, work on what your weaknesses are, and try to implement your strengths into them. For example, if you are socially awkward, but are a fan of card games, you could go join a local club. that way, you meet people with an equal mind-set to you ^^

more or less, the point is to be yourself. After all, you cant force a relationship, you can only open the doorway into one. just because you go into one, doesn't mean you wont go back out the door later. 

Anyway, I hope this helped in any way possible. like I said, relationships are not my strong point, but I do hope you find somebody that completes you ^^

Question: What is your favorite food?

My favorite food is a Greek-style barbecue, where the meat is slowly cooked over coals and seasoned with garlic powder, lemon and salt. the end product is delicious pieces of meat that are tender and absolutely delicious :3

We used to have them allot out in Cyprus, especially during the harvest :3

Based on your answers regarding other users' inquiries, you seem to be a really good person by the way.

My question is, what's your opinion of imagination?

My question is, what's your opinion of imagination?

Well, imagination is something that is unique to everyone. When asked about what imagination is, and what my opinion is on it, I can safety say that imagination is both the most beautiful thing, and also the most deadly.

Firstly, lets look at the beauty behind imagination:

Being able to use your imagination is one of the most unique and wonderful things, since everyone has their own ideas and creations flowing through their heads at any given time. While the imagination can vary, in so many ways, this means that it is completely and utterly unique to everyone, which means that everyone has their own ideas to share within the world. While one person may imagine a beautiful forest scape, others will imagine ongoing wars and battle for the sake of fighting and being heroes. Each of these are stories that we all make on a day to day basis in our heads in order to disconnect from reality.

However, imagination can also become rather....well, deadly:

Thing is, life is always full of struggles, and that can sometimes translate into our imaginations. now, while that can vary in many different ways, in some people this can go wildly out of control. While some will find it hard to sleep out of sheer fear or anxiety about oncoming events, others may find incredibly violent ways to deal with them through the use of imagination. While this is not a bad thing (Everyone thinks of doing something bad in their life, its just a natural thing.) the problem comes from those who cant disconnect fantasy from reality, and then act on their imagined anger.

While i would be happy to one day go into the psychology behind it all and the detail behind the imagination, i would much rather leave that for another day, since i am really tired and i would rather be super active to tackle that subject. ^w^

 

But yeah, thank you so much for the question ragkt! ^w^

If you were a hotdog and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

If you were a hotdog and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

Depends on the situation. 

Mainly because anybody can survive for up to three weeks without food. Although if I was a hotdog I wouldn't be a human being anymore. Heck, would I even have a stomach?

And am I in a Bun? If not then I would just probably eat myself, from the simple fact that eating your own body parts is a pretty stupid and desperate last resort. Firstly, blood-loss (Or in this case, hotdog water) would kill you outright if not treated, and secondly you could gain more protein from plant life then you can meat, which is so much better for your likelihood for survival.

But to answer the question simply; No, I wouldn't eat myself

...unless I had some condiments on sight and a bun!

Do you have a favorite story you written?

Right now my favourite story is the main storyline for MMaM, since it means allot to me. While all the other stories I make are set in the same universe, its hard to say that any of them top A.I's storylines.

5 hours ago, Greeneyes said:

That's a tricky one, since I like both.

But if I had to choose one or the other, I would chose Cats.

Mainly because a dog is too loyal, and I just dont have the time to look after one with the love and affection they deserve, as well as the amount of care they need.

A cat on the other hand just stares you cold in the eyes as it pushes your favourite cup off the side. That's why you have to love them

Hmm, that's also a really tricky one, since I have allot of respect for any published author, regardless of their prior actions or the quality of their work. The point is, I like to try and not judge people on their social lives, but on the work itself.

Anyway, I know this is a generalisation, but I feel that celebrity books about their personal lives should not be a published book. I know that seems weird, but I feel as though books should strive to educate people in some way or another, which they can then apply to their lives.

With a celebrity book, you don't get the impact because it breaks the connect between the reader and the viewer. Instead, I feel a celebrity should rather go up on stage and address issues face to face, as its much more inspiring to watch a rolls model talk to you when you can listen directly to what they have to say.

Anyway, as far as the question goes I'm sticking to the "Celebrity lives" books. Not because they are necessarily bad, but because they just don't have the inspiration and the importance they deserve.

I received a question a few days ago about my political views, and while they may be a rather controversial thing, I am more then happy to answer here about them....

....mainly because I dont have any!

While it is interesting to look into of from time to time, politics is a profession that I just can't get my head into, out of the fear of backlash from having a view within it. While that's not the case for most people, the simple subject can becoume increadibly bitter when two sides have apposing veiws. So, While I do look into it and understand the subject terminology, I try to steer clear of its discussion and outlook.

Nevertheless, everyone's views should be accepted (Unless of course they are incredibly damaging, hurtful or deliberately spiteful) and It would be better for peoples health if they just sat back and discussed things like people ^^

But yeah, thank you to the person who asked about my political views! (You know who you are )

What would you do if you had the powers of a god?

[Xyro]

What would you do if you had the powers of a god?

Now this is a question!

So, I will happily give two answers, one of which is serious, and the other is my non-serious answer.

Serious answer:

A "God" is a contraversial term. If you mean an Immortal with the ability to create things and take away things at will, then i would without a doupt create balanced and unbalanced worlds to veiw the outcomes and note them down. While power seems amazing at first, i already know that things would go on forever, so i will focuse on simulating infinite senarios and noting them down. After all, who wouldent want to note down and experiance everything that you create!

Same applies for Immortals without universal power. I would just wonder forever, exploring and Learning from everyone and everything I encounter, as well as passing my own knowledge down to those who i feel need it.

Not-Serious answer:

MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

All mortals will bow down to the lord of the universe! I will lay waste to all who appose me with my army of hedgehogs and my skill in hedgehog warfare! Bring me every last pudding-cup in existence.... and I may just let you live another day! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH....*Cough*....MUHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Do you have a favorite book?

( Also you get more questions than me on my thread like this. Your pretty popular, heh )

My favorite "Book" was probably The art of war, by Sunzi. I know its weird, but allot of the things covered in there can easily be related back to simple civilized life, especially when it comes to the social aspects. (I was once told by someone that the art of war was just like the 48 rules of power. While the two may be similar in theme, the 48 rules of power are provided to those who want to completely down-tread everyone in their life and look out for themselves only. Please, don't take life lessons from the 48 rules of power.) Anyway, It's a must-read for anyone who is interested in the true art of war!

(And I'm not sure why Leoulf  I am just a boring peacock after all.  )

Kind of related to the last, but a bit different.

How would you be able to handle yourself if you were omniscient but still a mortal? Would you be able to continue living your life normally or would you break down from the stress of knowing so much?

I think I would still try and do everything. Because if I knew everything, I could do whatever i wanted throughout life and know the outcome. that way I would simply construct a life around the funnest and most exciting outcomes, especially if it ends without anybody getting hurt in the process. (however, if you want to get technical, if i knew everything, wouldn't I find a way to make myself immortal or biologically immortal anyway? just a side thought  )

I would go back to what I used to do; living the good life, hunting my own food with friends, exploring the local forests out of sheer enjoyment, and just living the life I used too ^w^

....Oh, and i would build more Pillow forts. Lots, and lots of Pillow forts!

What other things you like to do in your spear time, other than writing? 

While I used to do a little bit of drawing here and there, I actually really enjoy sitting back and either listening and learning from sources, such as open lectures and the like.

Or, I usually try and meditate so that I can go into lucid dreaming ^^

Apart from that, I don't have anything else to add other then watching videos and listening to allot of music.

Kind of boring now that I think about it. But ehh, I wouldn't have it any other way ^w^

[Xyro]

Ok, so I know this is a little late into it, but I have received two more questions through PM, and I would like to share them anyway. Now, the first one that I get quite allot is advice when it comes to relationships and so forth.

While I'm not truly experienced in this topic (Since I currently have no interest in a relationship, and I am completely dedicated to nothing but work and making sure friends, family and myself are ok) I can happily say without a doubt that this mostly falls into a category that I like to call "Get to know a person before you jump the boat." 

Thing is, you cannot rush a relationship. It takes more then a few months to get to know a person properly. In-fact, it should take you a year in order to fully understand and be with a person to get to know them fully. While some will disagree with me, you are completely entitled to do so, but like I always say; If it takes you at least 18-24 years to find out about yourself, then I don't think your going to learn about a new person in one or two months. That's ridiculous.

Still, on this account, you also need to consider the situations surrounding the two of you. Obviously, certain relationships may be harder to maintain, due to work or distance. Regardless, this may prove an issue, however this should only be seen as a negative if it actively impairs the two of you. otherwise, simply finding ways around the problem is always advised, as doing so shows love and devotion to your partner.

Anyway, like I said, I really shouldn't give love advice, since I wouldn't really know where to begin

It's an experience that you as an individual have to learn. It affects us in so many different ways, that it is next to impossible to give direct advice. All I would suggest is holding back for a while (Aka, get to know the person better, and don't rush things, or it can come across as forced), always remain a gentlemen/lady and respect the other member within the relationship. you are both individuals after all, and you both have separate ideas and needs, such as the financial, medical and family situations. And lastly, just be yourself ^w^ If the person wont accept you for who you actually are, then it was possibly not love in the first place.

....

The second question I seem to receive quite often is why I use "^w^" So much.

Well, that's actually a fairly long story.

A long time ago (Aka, 3 years. not actually that long, but you know ) I used to be a competitive player on a game called "Block and load"

Sounds stupid, but I got on pretty well with the community (Its small now, but back then it was fairly big). When I was within the community, I used to do a tone of live-streams and competitive matches within the game, especially with the actual developers (Most were pretty nice, although one of them was one of my arch rivals at one stage.). While it was fun, I used to be called..... Well.....

....Cinnamon roll.....

Don't you dare laugh! I know you are laughing!

Anyway, i was called that because I wanted to make a "Emote" that was unique to me, so that whenever I was in a match, I could use it to signify that it was actually me playing. Regardless, that meant that quite allot of the players within the community saw me as a "Mascot" player, so I was dubbed the nickname of cinnamon roll, even when playing competitively. I also never used a mic, so while everyone was chatting away, i would type and play at the same time, which was rather tricky but kind of fun. Heck, i even did a live panel at one point, which was me and about twelve others from the community, and they thought it would be funny to make my stand a cardboard box with a giant neon sign above it with "Cinnamon roll".

Anyway, long story short, i use ^w^ quite often in honor of that, because lets face it...

....if you cant beat them, join them
