"This is the problem with LJ -- we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I'm going to rectify it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you ( Read more... )

What is your favorite color?

danger03 July 3 2004, 19:36:17 UTC

Officially it's orange. But aside from the fact that I drink a lot of orange juice, that's an outright lie. In practice, I usually side with blue, and the other cool colors. The majority of my clothes are blue--however, I still keep one or two orange shirts, not to wear them, really, but rather to save myself from being a hippocrite.

In a way, blue is kind of the opposite to orange, although I couldn't tell you why that is significant.

That must be the most fabulous answer I've ever heard to such a simplistic question. Bravo.

What's your general clothing style?
For example, do you like to go for slacks and a button shirt, or something more relaxed... urban, country club, metropolitan or any kind of look?

Shakespeare wrote, "The apparel oft proclaims the man." I try very hard, though, to proclaim nothing by not looking a certain type. If I have a 'look' I'd sure wish someone told me what it was ( ... )

Sorry for commenting on this ages old entry, but I just discovered your LJ and have really enjoyed reading it. Sorry also for commenting anonymously, but after reading other entries of yours, I wanted to stay as true as possible to the anonymous aspect of LiveJournal that seems so important to you ( ... )

You put so much stock into becoming a changed man by virtue of going to college. So what do you think of the results?

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but here's what I wrote danger03 July 9 2004, 22:22:39 UTC

Oh, college--why do I love thee? Let me count the ways ( ... )

How much of a culture shock has it been to go north and live? or are you cushioned from it by being in school and dorm (associating mostly with people from all over in the same situation)? I don't just mean the weather, though that obviously is part of it ( ... )

Re: Question(s) danger03 July 9 2004, 23:59:01 UTC

There is a culture shock and there isn't. I'll start with the differences between the good ol' South and Chicago first, because differences are usually the most interesting.

The first thing that always hits me when I go to Chicago is the accent. The funniest thing is when Chicagolanders insist they don't have one. "Do I have an e-ccent?" they ask. It's just the short A vowel sound that's weird. I always got a kick out of whenever Chazz on my floor said the words, e-ctually, e-pple, Chic-e-go, or e-ss. Sadly, I don't really have a southern accent to entertain the northerns. Neither does Andrea, from Jonesboro, GA, who's majoring in flute performance. When people ask her why she doesn't have a southern accent, she simply says, "I fought it my whole life." I actually began to miss hearing Southerner's mellifluous, molasses drawl. The other day we got a message from my dentist's office in Atlanta: "Hea-loe. This is to cun-FIRRM David's [sic]ap-POE-innt-mi-ent..." I smiled when I heard that ( ... )

Thanks for the compliment. :)

If my chicken-scratch is really that good, it's because I spend so much time on every little detail. If I wrote a novel it would take me 3,000 years. I angst over every sentence. I spent five minutes just coming up with the word 'molasses' that occurs in the comment below. On top of that, I still have a little ADD in me; I frequently lose my train of thought while I'm writing. Part of my problem with this journal is that I want to write about something but then get lazy and don't do it because I know how long it will take.
