Favourite genre of music?
Favourite album?
What's your favourite property of Beruvium?
Does "good music" count as a genre..?
I could never narrow myself down to just one favourite. I'd listen to so much from so many genres that picking one is impossible.
Favourite album would be another tough call. Most things by BellX1, MUSE, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan are well worth listening to from start to finish.
My favourite property of Beruvium would be that it cannot be found on Google :pac:0 -

Do you believe in God?
If you were a superhero what would be your power?
Do you believe in ghosts?
Today, my favourite song is "Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons.
There's a good chance it'll be something completely different by this time tomorrw
Not really.
Flight would be awesome. Not very original, but still! That said, I've always wondered what it would be like to be Wolverine...
Used to believe in ghosts when I was younger, don't believe in them any more though.0 -

C&H, Creative Writing, Limerick City, Soccer and 3 private forums.
Favourite one would have to be CW. I miss the old Feedback!
Pretty much fluent in Gaeilge.
I had fairly decent French for the Leaving Cert, and I can still usually make sense of it when I try to read it, but I'd never be able to hold a conversation in French any more.0 -

<_<Why do you hate mainstream music?
Most of it is lazy, formulaic, paint by numbers rubbish that's only written, produced and performed to make money. A lack of genuine creativity/originality has always been present in most "chart" music though, it's not something entirely new. Things get really annoying when people like Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh pretend the crap they're peddling is new and innovative, when it really is anything but.0 -

Speaking of Bebo, what d'you think of social networking in general?
Why did you change your username?
You and the Onion all cool now?
Who would you say is most similiar to you on boards?
Most dangerous/extreme thing you've ever done?
One unforgettable experience you've had?
Are you interested in current affairs?
Social networking: brilliant in theory, brutal in practice. All the quizzes, applications and silly things keep getting in the way.
I'd been thinking of changing it for a while, and when I found out I could customise my avatar the idea of taking on a funny name was too good to miss
Yes, I think so. He did give me the most awesome introduction ever, to be fair.
Most similar to me? I have no idea. I've only recently started to get to know other people a bit better. If you know anyone else who's as closely interested in sports, music, writing, reading, performing, debating and laughing at stupid stuff as I am, there's your answer.
One of my best friends has a girlfriend who hangs around with us a lot. A few weeks ago she got the whole gang to give out to me for not doing enough extreme/dangerous stuff. Feel free to suggest some good/wild ideas for me!
Just one? Okay... I got to represent Mary I at a creative weekend for young teachers in training back in December 2008. It switches between Northern Ireland and the Republic every year, and that year it was held in Carran in the Burren. We went on a hike up to an ancient ring-fort that was built along the edge of an in-land cliff. The weather was absolutely brutal, rain and wind and sleet, but when we got to the top of the hill there was a perfect rainbow arching right out of the middle of the valley beyond the cliff's edge.
Beautiful isn't a strong enough word to describe it.
I'd be fairly interested in current affairs, but because of Boards I usually get bored of the news before it even makes it onto the Six One on RTÉ...0 -

Do you ever write anything other than poetry (blogs don't count :pac:)? If not, any reason why not?
Do you think anyone can learn to write well or do you think you it's something you either have or you don't?
If, for some reason, you couldn't write any more (I don't know, you have no hands/poetry part of the brain is gone.. *shrugs* :P), would you take up something else to make up for it or would it drive you mad?
Favourite United player?
What irritates you most about society? (robbed from someone who asked me the same when I was in the Noclight)
I used to write short-stories for English in secondary school, and it's something I've always wanted to try again, but I don't set enough time to write anything longer than a poem. Lack of determination would be my biggest block at the moment.
I think everyone can do something creative to express themselves. There are books and guides and tutorials for all sorts of things, from gardening to cooking to painting, so there's no reason why anyone should feel they can't at least attempt to write. I think anyone can learn the mechanics, but the challenge is finding words that other people will want to read.
If I had no hands, I'd dictate to someone else or record my voice. If I "lost it" altogether, I'd keep looking until I find something else that would have the same effect. I can't imagine what that would involve though...
Right now, has to be Rooney Favourite Manchester United player of all time is Peter Schmeichel.
What irritates me most..? This one is liable to change, but at the moment I'd say shock-and-awe type media. I find things like TV3, Sky News and the Daily Mail unbearable. Sensationalist, pessimistic hype-machines basically, imo.0 -

What's the longest amount of time you've ever spent online?
Your most un-PC opinion, if you have one.
I don't read anywhere near as much as I used to, but there was one series, when I was younger, that sounds quite similar to what I've heard about Twilight. It was the "Night World" series by L.J. Smith. Witches, were-wolves, vampires, romance, the lot. The author never did finish the final book in the series though, unfortunately
Longest time on-line would probably have been sometime in the last few days. I've done a few marathon sessions, close to about 12 hours at a time with short breaks of no longer than 30 minutes.
I'm in favour of stem-cell research. That was the only thing I could think of straight away. Might come up with a few more for you later.0 -
