Seriously though, when was the last time you did something you instantly regretted?
I woke up, found myself in a makeshift prison cell (which i later learnt was an abandoned animal enclosure), and instantly regretted opening my eyes.

(For the first in forever....Aargh! Deric why did you get this song stuck in my head?!)

When was the last time you experienced Deja Vu?

When was the last time you experienced Deja Vu?
I was in some strange underwater temple and relieved a day that ended up being something of a turning point in my life.

When was the last time you took a trip purely for your own pleasure?

I was with ICOMOS doing a survey of a (then) potential UNESCO site near Matera, Italy. It was a long trip by car for the rest of the team, but I needed to save time, so I arrived by helicopter and took a shorter walk to the location. One of the lead surveyors was an older Italian woman with peppered hair and well tanned skin. After we had our brief introductions, I told them that I'd like to do a quick survey and then I needed to go.

She asked me how much time I had, and I said 30 minutes. There was a chuckle to my haste, and she told me "Take more time."

I ended up taking the rest of the day, and the helicopter couldn't wait, so I hiked with the rest of the team and took a car back to Bari. At the end of the trip, she gave me a replica coin in brass -- an owl on a pedestal with the words 'Sapientia Principis" (Prince of Wisdom). Turns out she gives this to all her first-year trainees, I was honored either way.

I left home when I was about 14 and went back in June of last year, during the summer. Three days later, I was hanging with an extremist environmental group from Norway called Ultralett.


The last time you were surprised?

I ran into an old friend at a company outing. When i tried to talk with said friend, things quickly spiralled out of control and i found myself in the middle of a deep sea adventure.

A fishing buddy asked me for help. It was a reminder that, despite whatever image we show the world, we all have personal limits.

When was the last time you did something completely selfless, without expectation of recognition or repayment?

I don't recall this ever happening...

@Joe Kerr stole my car and I still helped him.

The last time you knew you should have been asleep, but weren't, and nothing good came of it?

(OOC: I stayed up all night reading and I don't know when I fell asleep but I was late for class and slept through them most of the day. Nearly fell asleep while driving.

When is the last time you had a dream about when you were very young.

Maybe about a year or so ago... In the dream I was at a wedding, as a ring bearer. It was before ceremonies and I was already dressed in my little tuxedo and wandering around. For some reason, I found the bride's veil, took it, and ran to hide in the kitchen pantry. My mother found me and asked what I was doing -- to which I replied, with no shortage of tears: "I didn't want to get married."


The last time you did something completely random and how did it work out?

I found this endearing. Genuinely, not selectively, in case of confusion.

I praised someone. I've yet to see how it works out.


The last time you had your favorite food, and what was it?

I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced.

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
