Forgotten me yet?<BR/><BR/>Well, to answer your random little quiz thing...<BR/>1. yes<BR/>2. yes<BR/>3. no (or not sure)<BR/>4. a<BR/>5. c<BR/>6. I can't learn all of them? I guess I don't really need to speed read, I read fast enough. I'm unlikely to ever run into any ninjas. I used to play piano, so relearning it would be cool, but I guess a wins (though if I was speaking a speak someone else had written I'd probably be okay.)<BR/>7. a and b almost tie, but a probably wins (I don't do roller coasters at all, don't like heights and get a little motion sick.)<BR/>So, now you know... and yes, I cheated and explained some of my answers.<BR/>I hate essay questions. I look at them and my mind goes blank. And then, my brain tends to summerize very well, but be terrible at explaning or expanding on details, so my answers end up being one or two sentances when they want half a page.<BR/>(I'd do a lot better at nanowrimo if I didn't have that problem too. I've made it to 3000 words so far, lol.)<BR/><BR/>I don't recall if I wanted to know anything specific about your siblings. Is there anything super-cool about them or are they just ordinary boring siblings? <BR/><BR/>Did you get to enjoy the zipline?<BR/><BR/>Well, I've got my computer back (if you couldn't guess) all fixed for the moment (yippee! I love my dad.)<BR/><BR/>Have a good day (or night)!Jilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314113587757238561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408261284131472749.post-89269783103814536022008-10-30T22:07:00.000-07:002008-10-30T22:07:00.000-07:00Sorry, yes you did...

Trouble is, few people can answer it. <BR/><BR/>If you’re trying to learn to ask questions, be sure to start with easy ones. Otherwise you get no response. (too bad I don't take my own advice)<BR/><BR/>The first presentation, excuse me, the second presentation I did in college was about questions, how they work, and how to ask them. I didn’t really know if it was going to be a good topic, but it turned out really well, and I got a good response from it. See, I’ve always asked. It’s not hard for me, but apparently it’s great for others to learn about it.<BR/><BR/>That’s one of the things I’ll probably revisit from my “Conversation Cake” post – questions. I’m fairly good at that part. It’s the other parts I struggle with.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of questions, here’re some better (random) ones to answer: <BR/><BR/>1) Do you only have one brother? (yes/no)<BR/><BR/>2) If I told you your brother fell down, would you be surprised? (yes/no)<BR/><BR/>3) Do you like “what’s your favorite…” questions? (for example, what’s your favorite water activity or orange food, etc?) (yes/no)<BR/><BR/>Multiple choice (I can’t stand these test in school)<BR/><BR/>4) You’d prefer living…<BR/> a. In the country with a well in your backyard to get water<BR/> b. On the eighth floor of an apartment in New York City <BR/> c. Out in the space station (but only for a month)<BR/><BR/>5) Which makes the most sense to you…<BR/> a. Eating chili with peanut butter<BR/> b. Calculus<BR/> c. Using the weather as fall back conversation topic<BR/><BR/>6.) Which of the following would you most like to learn how to do…<BR/> a) speak in front of crowds<BR/> b) play the piano<BR/> c) fend off ninjas with a samurai sword<BR/> d) speed read<BR/><BR/>7.) Which would scare you the most…<BR/> a) waking up to find you book collection in ashes<BR/> b) someone walking up to you at a grocery store and knowing your name and social security number<BR/> c) riding a roller coaster that has never been tested<BR/><BR/>Zipline will likely commence this Saturday.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I have any siblings… I have three brothers and a sister. What do you want to know about them?<BR/><BR/>(Sorry this is so long… questions get they way with me.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408261284131472749.post-34988193504709583492008-10-21T00:02:00.000-07:002008-10-21T00:02:00.000-07:00You had to ask me a hard question eh? meany.uhmm.....You had to ask me a hard question eh? meany.<BR/>uhmm...<BR/>I don't know. I guess that question would be a pretty good one... I am not good at questions, I feel proud of myself if I remember to ask people anything, even how they are! People who ask questions and know how to start conversations are amazing to me.<BR/>I'll have to think on it some more. (I do much prefer multiple choice tests.)<BR/>My whole family is fairly quiet. You pretty much have to force my brother to talk.<BR/>Do you have siblings?<BR/>That one would probably say a fair amount about a person... at least if you got them to answer it with more than a yes or no.<BR/>My computer is sort of behaving today... I have the cord pinned down with a mug of pens at just the right angle... it's probably going to make the cord worse (if that's the problem) in the long run, but for today it works.<BR/>No zip line?

I was a little surprised it was on automatic, but that explains it. :) I've done that before, though since I've no schedule to my posts, it didn't matter.<BR/>Hope you enjoyed the zipline, and that it wasn't too dangerous!<BR/>It's been a while since I've stayed up 'til that late in the morning. About 8 years probably. I did stay up until 4am when I hung out with my cousin (as mentioned in the above blog), but I had church the next morning and work that afternoon, so I couldn't stay up later. According to your post it was 3:48am here when you responded. It's currently 9:24pm here.<BR/>Not a whole lot is going on here at the moment. I spent a couple hours earlier today with a few ladies from a Bible study. Later I finished sorting through some clothes and cleaned up my room a tiny bit. <BR/>Most of today has been spent fighting with my computer. There is a wiring short or something that my dad fixed once before and probably won't be able to fix again... so, my computer won't stay plugged in very well and it took forever to get it to have power and turn on. I think this is the 4th time I've started it today. I shall probably not have a working computer soon, and I've no money to buy another. :(<BR/>So, that's what's happening here. I'm off to read the rest of your series. :) Cya.Jilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314113587757238561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408261284131472749.post-33215671389726708992008-10-18T03:48:00.000-07:002008-10-18T03:48:00.000-07:00Sorry I've been out of it for a while.

That didn't happen though. Sorry if you were trying to keep up.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been online (except Facebook) for the past couple of days. This evening (turning into morning) was my catch up time. Kinda crazy but really fun.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow I think I'm going over to a friend's house to try out a new zipline they put up. That should be fun / dangerous.<BR/><BR/>Once again, I'm tired (it seems like I'm always saying that with you) it's 6:43a.m., and I haven't gone to sleep. I'll probably sleep for few hours then try to get up.<BR/><BR/>What's up with you in Oregon? How early is early for you? <BR/><BR/>I'm somewhat of a student of sleep or rather the lack of it. Ever heard of polyphasic sleeping? I think I actually mention it somewhere in that series.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for commenting over a bondChristian. <BR/><BR/>Good night... or... good morning, Jil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408261284131472749.post-6264070421511023472008-10-14T20:43:00.000-07:002008-10-14T20:43:00.000-07:00That's annoying...
