My little sneaky fingerprints

Sep 02, 2012 01:27

It's 1:20 AM, I just got home from work, I'm eating yoghurt for dinner while texting with a friend about Star Trek and Sherlock. What better time for a meme?

( Comment with as many numbers as you want, and I'll reply with correlating answers. )

16. Settle Down and Cameo Lover by Kimbra, and Open Window by Big Tree ( ... )

CAN I HAVE ALL OF THEM?

Okay, probably not, since you probably want to do something today other than answer 56 questions. :p In that case, I will take 2, 7, 20, 22, 24, 29, 37, 50, 55, and 56.

I THINK I WOULD RUN OUT OF INTERESTING THINGS TO SAY VERY QUICKLY!

2. I'm really bad at advocating for myself. If someone's being unfair to me, I'll usually just go with it rather than put myself out there and stand up for myself. Or if I’m sick, I’ll try to just wait it out until someone makes me go to the doctor. I think it comes from feeling like I don’t deserve attention. It’s not a very healthy attitude. Also, I’m a REALLY BAD singer.

7. Ahhh, this is the hardest question!! The Patron Saint of Liars by Ann Patchett, The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl, Watership Down by Richard Adams, Complicity by Iain Banks, and the James Bond series by Ian Fleming are probably my favorites, but choosing between them is impossible ( ... )

7. Ha, can you believe I've never read ANY of those books?? Maybe I'll have to check them out.
22. D: Sorry your dad married such a nasty person. Among other things, making pastries is TOTALLY NOT A STUPID INTEREST.
24. Yes! I completely agree! Indifferent people are awfully boring. So are people who agree with me on everything.
50. I am oddly amused that you find the word dissonance appealing, given its meaning. :p
55. Does the tetragrammaton (speaking of cool words) itself bother you, or just when vowels are added? The link mentions two ways to vowelate insert vowels -- does one bother you more than the other? (Hmm, actually, the second one appears to be wrong. So never mind, maybe.) And if you don't mind me asking, then why do you spell out God instead of G-d? (Sorry if these are dumb/offensive questions. I have basically zero religious sensibilities, so I am clueless rather than malicious ( ... )

Haha, tetragrammaton is a cool word! The Hebrew word itself (i.e. the tetragrammaton) doesn't bother me at all, because it's just the name of God as written in Hebrew. It only bothers me when people try to pronounce it literally. The Hebrew word is kind of like an acronym, and one that's not intended to be pronounced as it's written. It's actually forbidden for Jews to pronounce God's name as it's written; when we come across it in the Torah or whatever, we use the title "Adonai" in its place.

I don't have any problem writing the word "God" because I see it as just kind of a placeholder word. The word doesn't have any power for me; it's just a label I use, rather than a real name. I do always capitalize God, though, mostly just for grammatical reasons, since it is, after all, a proper noun.

Absolutely no offense taken! I'm always happy to answer questions, and as I said, it's really very hard to upset me. I hope this made some kind of sense. Also, "vowelate" is a word that needs to exist.
