      Anything that would make the flamingos dance.

      And would also make you dance sexy.

      I really don't get "crushes" on people. But, we'll go with the first boy my friend and I started actually talking to as a friend, because it could possibly seen as similar to a crush. His name was Travis, and it was first grade. Unfortunately, I suddenly can't remember his last name.

      I do not have a favorite word.

      (In reference to your answer to this question previously: I fully support your fondness for parenthetical statements. In fact, it wasn't until I nearly finished that sentence that I realized I was stating something in parenthesis.)

      Eat bread! I love bread. So very, very much. I like soda, but I don't really have any problems going without it for long periods of time.

      As lame as it sounds, I had no idea, and obviously I haven't been able to answer this question yet, thought it was asked weeks and weeks ago.

      The first thing I thought when I saw this question today was "What songs did I listen to on repeat, over and over when I was younger, that I still like today?"

      My first thoughts: "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal and "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas. Then I remembered I used to also listen to "The Thunder Rolls" by Garth Brooks.

      I'm having a hard time choosing between the first two, but ultimately it would likely be "Dust in the Wind." I can listen to that song a LOT. I don't think I've ever felt tired of it.

      I have a really hard time saying that we should justify the killing of anyone. Yes, it is good to have truly dangerous people completely prevented from harming others, jails and prisons are pretty crowded, and it costs plenty of money to keep people imprisoned. At the same time, I can't say I would be okay with saying someone should die for what they've done. I wouldn't be able to deal with the nagging "what if they weren't really guilty?" thought if I personally had to make a decision, and that extends to me wondering if I were to support it I'd be forcing someone else into that position.

      I understand some of the reasons why some people say they support it, but I don't think I have strong enough opinions about it to really agree. I know that I don't support it, because it seems to be a somewhat barbaric method for dealing with "problems" and there is no way to "fix" things afterward if it turns out you were wrong about someone being guilty. I think I'm still on the fence with it, as with many hot topics like that.

      Let's just go with: Overall, I'm somewhat against it. I wouldn't mind if they got rid of the death penalty. I might actually like it. I can understands the arguments for it and the justifications for those arguments; I'm just not sure there aren't better ways of dealing with such problems.

      I really don't think that I have one. There are certain things I wear more than others because I like them well enough, or they are convenient, etc, but I don't have anything that I can think of that makes me go, "Oh, I love that the most!" I've been thinking this question over a while, but I can't think of a good answer. Sorry if that's a disappointment. :(

      *You could punch out several that coordinate well, and use them to decorate a room.
      *You could punch some out and place them somewhere so guests can wear fancy Victorian masks when they come to visit you.
      *If you scrapbook, they could make really neat backgrounds (punch them out, maybe cut off any rough spots, place them on a coordinating color of cardstock) for photos.
      *They may also be good inspiration for future costumes.
      *If the paper isn't too thick, you could probably "paper-mache" them onto some furniture that needs a new finish.
      *If you have a party sometime, you could glue the invite to the side of the mask, and pass out the masks as invitations. That way, if it's a costume party, they can keep the mask and wear it to the party (I'd imagine including the instruction to wear the mask to the party would be helpful). You could allow people to choose masks (from the designated invitation masks) and they then have to design their outfit to coordinate with their masks.

      Hmm. I'm running short on ideas with this one, I think.

      It depends, really. What kind of book is it? Does it just have large pictures of masks? Does it have descriptions and pictures? Does it have descriptions of how to make these Victorian masks?

      I'm going to guess you mean the one in my facebook photos from my art projects back in high school. If not, correct me.

      I borrowed that one from the school. Unfortunately it is not mine. I'm not too broken up about it though because it had a really weird shape, and wouldn't work for a dress form. However, I was also making a dress form, but that project kind of got forgotten about. My mom has an old dress form she made by wrapping duct tape around herself, that we still have to finish, too.

      Maybe I'll finish my dressform-in-the-making when I move to Copper Beech, and my roommates are around to help me. Actually, I'll probably make a new one. The other one got taped a bit funny, so it had a slightly odd shape. That and my friend made my butt look weird when she wrapped the tape. :p

      I also have two plastic things that bathing suits came on, that I'm considering turning into something. They're basically a thin, flexy, clear plastic body shape (like the front 1/3 or so of the body, puffed out). I'd imagine that if one found a way to sculpt a back to put them on, you could turn them into a decent mannequin.

      I wish I had a decent dressform, but alas, they are expensive.

      Hmm... If I were to get a tattoo, I'd get blacklight ink tracing the "waffle" scar on my elbow. The white blacklight ink that you can't see without a blacklight.

      I'm far to indecisive when it comes to choosing something that will be on my body forever. However, I already have the scar on my arm, and it's rather entertaining. Trust me, this is not a cop-out answer, I've actually thought about this in the past.

      Seriously, who wouldn't want a blacklight waffle pattern on their arm?

      Since I was informed that I couldn't be killed by humans... I'll pick shark. Because then I can eat things with giant sharp teeth. Rawr!

      No... wait... The octopus. Because then I'd have super cool long arms to grab things with!

      Crud, I don't know... Eh, shark. I think they'd try to do less scientific experiments on me, because they know I'd eat them if they tried....


      I think.

      If it makes the person happy, abstinence is great. I typically think "to each their own," so long as the thing they are doing is not detrimental to their health, or bad for them or anyone else. Abstinence is not a bad thing, so I'm quite supportive of anyone who chooses to be abstinent.

      But personally, I'm way too big a fan of cuddling and kissing to give either of those up. :p I guess in that regard (depending on your definition of abstinence, since they vary greatly), I might fail at abstinence. Kissing is fun.

      Awwwwwww. I've had an inclination that a few people may think that I'm kind of awesome, but never quite realized that some people thought I was REALLY awesome.

      I think some people are really awesome too. ;)

      I have many, many ways. I'm skillful like that. They're inappropriate to post in a public place though.

      Trust me, when I'm done, you'll be wondering how we could turn down the temperature outside.

      I love fudge! Cheesecake... not so much. You can keep all the cheesecake for yourself and other people who like cheesecake. You have to share the fudge though.
