Ask Mitzi! (Your writing prompts, My answers)
ROTF.
This project is madness.
But you're helping me write. And hopefully I'll be entertaining you. It's an exchange deal of sorts.
Although I have to warn you that this may be a waste of your time. So unless you're really up for it, don't even dare to read anything beyond this cut. Yea?
That click meant a yes. ^^
ladeefrikkinda has asked: What did you want to be when you were younger?
I wanted to be many things. I wanted to be a doctor--a pediatrician at that. I wanted to be a dentist--but a highly specialized breed of dentist: an oral-maxilofacial surgeon to be more specific. I wanted to be a teacher--yes, that was part of my list too. I wanted to work in Broadway because I wanted to sing and dance onstage but not really act, which is kind of impossible. Regardless, musical theatre was my kind of thing. I wanted to be a writer--I just didn't know what kind. I wanted to be a musician--because I played the piano very well, and liked the idea of composing songs and performing. I wanted to be an astronaut too, because I loved the moon and the stars and felt some kind of affinity for these celestial wonders.
I still love the moon and the stars to this day, and I still feel that strong affinity for these celetial wonders... but I don't have a strong affinity for nose-bleeding math which seems to be a pre-requisite for astronaut wannabes. I just want to visit outerspace dude, no mathematical equation / nose-bleeding sessions please.
You can say that somehow, I wanted to be everything and rule the world in one way or another. ;P
By far, the most intriguing and curious thing I wanted to be when I was younger was a cashier.
Yes. You read that right. I wanted to be a cashier because I wanted to own a cash register, and punch in the prices of the goods and do the whole supermarket selling kind of thing.
I thought it was awesome to have such a sophisticated calculator that allows you to store money! I even asked Santa Clause for a cash register one Christmas day of yonder years.
--Santa Claus was gracious enough to give me one by the way.
See, I was a good child. And I still am, only that Santa hasn't given me gifts since I turned 13.
Bad Santa.
Did I answer your question, Anica? ^^
brainexplosion has asked: Would you rather talk like Yoda or breathe like Darth Vader?
Without a bat of an eye, I would rather talk like Yoda.
Sure Darth Vader looks cooler, but it ain't cool to wheeze yo. Is he f*ckin' asthmatic or something?
Yoda is actually Filipino, did you know that? His English sentence structure is right smack to Filipino sentence structuring.
Take: “Named must your fear be before banish it you can.” -- it looks/sounds pretty weird in English right? Tagalize it.
"Pangalanan mo ang iyong takot bago mo ito i-banish!"
----hwehwehwehwhewehwehwe.
Oh I fail. My Assumpshenista roots are revealing itself!!!
What on earth is banish in Filipino?!!!!
I checked... the terms were a mouthful: Banish = Magdistiyero, ipadistiyero, idistiyero
WTH?!!! I've never even heard of these words in my ENTIRE life.
There were synonyms sure, but the synonyms of Magdistiyero, Ipadistiyero or Idistiyero are not like context-appropriate. Cases in point: Magtapon, Ipatapon, Itapon, Magpalayas, Palayasin, Paalisin, Magpaalis, Magpawala, Makawala, and Mawala.
Ok. I failed to prove my point that Yoda was/is/will be Filipino.
Point is, I'd rather be Yoda. After all, and I quote Yoda himself: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
The force is with me if I talk like Yoda, rather than wheeze like Darthy Ol' Vader dude.
