Quid pro quo

[deathpixie]

*grins* Gotten hooked on this question thing. To the point I want more questions. (Yes, Acey, I haven't answered yours yet, but I will. Still working on it). So, anyone want to oblige me?

Ask me a question. A question about myself, my life, personal, superficial, inappropriate, whatever and I will answer it the best I can.

Glutton for attention, aren't I? ;)a

Do you think it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all?

[deathpixie]

Definitely the first. Because even though it ended and there was a lot of pain and heartache, there was also a lot of good stuff too, over the years.And all of it - good and bad - has helped made me what I am now, and I like to think that's a person who is both strong and if not wise, then at least able to learn from life.t

Given that there's no such thing as a 'perfect world', which book would you most like to live inside? Which imaginary world do you think you could be happy inhabiting?

[deathpixie]

Ursuala Le Guin's 'Earthsea' world. Although I'd have to be one of those annoying female would-be wizards. ;)y

Finally asking instead of answering ...

Have you ever regretted being the 'big sister' of Subreality? One of those people others tend to latch onto, trust and turn to for advice?

Ooh, good question. :)

And as with all the harder questions, a two-pronged answer. *grins* Fence-sitting pixie strikes again!

First off, the day I turn down a friend needing help is the day they put me in a box. Because I would rather not exist than not be able to be there for my friends. And knowing people feel they can turn to me is a good feeling to have - it makes me feel useful, even in a small way. And I need to be useful. :)

On the downside, however, there are times when the burden of other people's problems becomes heavier than I can take. Especially when my own problems are weighing me down. People might notice times when I don't come into chat or AIM that much - it's usually when I'm having a tough time, and I stay away rather than have to tell people I'm not in the mood to help. And sometimes it can feel like the only time some people want to talk to me is to tell me when they're having problems. Again, I don't ever begrudge people asking for help, but it can get hard, finding only bad news in your inbox.

So, double-edged answer, as always. d

Bob Rozakis was the Answer Man.

Do you want to see a show or play or ballet or sommat while you're in London?

[deathpixie]

I would like to, providing it's not too pricey - the exchange rate is currently $3 Australian to one pound. Which means I have to triple everything. At the rate I'm going through money at the moment, things are going to be tight.

But yes, I would like to do something like that. :)t
