What do you like to read, if anything?

Don’t read as often as I’d like, but when I do its often non fiction, usually popular science type stuff. Also books like Freakonomics and Superfreakonomics which are sort of classed as pop science in the very broadest sense I guess.

I listened to the audio books of Kath Griffin and Tina Fey recently if you can count those as reading.

In terms of fiction, I like drama mostly, prefer it to be a bit heavy. I do like to read Bryce Courtenay’s books, a lot of them can be a bit heavy and depressing, he wrote The Power Of One, amongst many others.

Recently finished reading Pride And Prejudice because I had it downloaded on the kindle app for my android phone. Now I think its time to read Pride And Prejudice And Zombies.

I’m a big Star Wars fan myself and I don’t confine myself only to the films. There are loads of comics, novels, computer/console games and Star Wars music and other memorabilia.

Well after Lille I went to Iceland and then after that I’ve just done another 2 week trip, but only just came back the other evening.

I’m job hunting now and looking for a place to live that’s more central in London. Where I am staying right now is very far out of the way.

Why do some people seem rather rude on here?

It’s the internet, people hide behind a veil of anonymity and think that social norms do not apply on here. This is not an isolated incident.

Also, some people just want to get their rocks off on here and if you aren’t what they are after you will be ignored in preference of someone who has more erotic appeal to them.

Aaaand thirdly, there has been so many fakes on here over the years that some people are hesitant to commit to being friendly because at any given moment someone could suddenly quit or be deleted because they were a massive fake. One such incident a while back caused a lot of negativity on here because he was such a long standing member and many people felt pretty betrayed. The community spirit has died little by little since then.

I’ve seen it done on other forums before and thought it might help breathe at least a little new life into the forums.

Honestly I was hoping that people would ask something a little more risque!

Asking me a question about what questions you should be asking? That seems a little redundant almost.

Really I’ll answer pretty much anything you want to know, either about me or the world in general, and if I don’t know the answer I’ll make up a lie

How about, what is your most embarrassing moment?

Or, what happened when you were most drunk?

Maybe even, what is the most horrible thing you have done to a friend?

And possibly, have you sold your body for money?

oke then… I have a risqué question for you:

Did you ever had an awful or psychotic thought that could hurt someone if it wasn’t a thought but real?

If yes… What was that thought?

Uh plenty, I have battled with minor OCD over the years and many people do not understand that it’s not just being a neat freak and having odd quirks, those are compulsions. There are also obsessions which is the pretty nasty side of it all. They usually involve thoughts that aren’t pleasant to have and are often not things you actually believe. Usually the compulsions are to alleviate the obsessions.

It can be pretty pervasive, but at some of my worst moments I thought about people getting hit by buses or trains, or women pushing their babies in front of moving buses or people harming themselves or their loved ones. I guess they were never thoughts about me doing anything to anyone, but more other people harming themselves or others. Regardless it was pretty awful.

It is pretty cool of you to be so open about it.
In a matter of fact I do know what OCD is. I’m studying Psychology + my best friend has it. So I know how hard it can be.
