  <title>FAQ</title>
  <link>http://openumbrella.livejournal.com/14013.html</link>
  <description>Behind the cut are answers to questions that have been asked of me.  I&apos;ll label it as an FAQ, though it is not the right terminology for it.  It is really questions that are totally unique to those asking the questions and the answers honestly, teeth-bared, hair on the back of my neck standing up, who I am.  I encourage that all who visit, read, or wind up here randomly ask me a question totally of themselves.  I love to answer these sorts of questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;which words feel just right between your teeth?, &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_littlemoons&apos; lj:user=&apos;littlemoons&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://littlemoons.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://littlemoons.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;littlemoons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Honestly, the words that feel just right between my teeth are the words that I&apos;m screaming or holding back.  And these words would be cliche&apos; to many but a surprise to some.  &quot;I hate you&quot;s backed by true feeling.  The word hate, specifically, because in a fight I&apos;d much rather say something about loathing or not being able to understand someone rather than tell them that I hate them.  And the word defiant.  Especially if someone has told me that I&apos;m defiant and I&apos;m asking the word as a question.  Same for &quot;stubborn, rude, impossible.&quot;  Words like love, but only in the phrase &quot;i am in love with you&quot;.  Or &quot;constant, forever, always&quot; because those words make me choke and make me sputter and get caught before they can come out properly.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you could create a theme park, what would the theme be? Would you have more candyfloss or popcorn carts? What toys would you sell? Would you have more rollercoasters or slow rides or water rides? Why?   &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_blackedink&apos; lj:user=&apos;blackedink&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://blackedink.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://blackedink.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;blackedink&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well, my theme would most certainly be perfection.  And before anyone gets up in arms about that, perfection in my mind.  Which is most likely imperfection to everyone else.  An odd numbers of freckles, barefeet in mud puddles, rainy days and gypsy skirts.  I wouldn&apos;t have candyfloss or popcorn carts.  I would have carts that gave away free dandelions and wishes.  I wouldn&apos;t sell anything that most would understand.  I think I would sell gaudy jewelry, butterfly kisses, watches stuck on the time 11:11, and dream diaries.  I don&apos;t know if I&apos;d have rides, maybe just lots and lots of tours of dandelion fields.  There&apos;d be some water rides, but nothing too crazy.  I&apos;m not a sucker for that sort of adrenaline rush.  &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;would you ride a polar bear in a riot, possibly endangering a polar bear&apos;s life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how do you feel about [eunuchs]?  &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_sporadic__&apos; lj:user=&apos;sporadic__&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://users.livejournal.com/sporadic__/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://users.livejournal.com/sporadic__/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;sporadic__&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I don&apos;t think I could ride a polar bear at all.  I&apos;m kind of fearful of dogs and small creatures as is.  I don&apos;t think I could tempt myself to go near something as large as a polar bear.  I will stand toe-to-toe with the tallest of men, and scream words like defiance and refusal in their faces, but people and polar bears are two different sorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eunuchs?  Well, I don&apos;t think I&apos;ve ever given much thought to this question at all!  I like everyone, everything, anything, until I&apos;ve reason not to like them.  Some reasons are unwarranted, but when it comes to the human race, I generally try to like everyone.  And I guess since that&apos;s something I wouldn&apos;t know without asking--that I like them and I hate them, all equally ;].&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;what makes you strong?  &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_le_wicked&apos; lj:user=&apos;le_wicked&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://le-wicked.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://le-wicked.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;le_wicked&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;My religion.  I know that&apos;s something that&apos;s often tested and often questioned.  But, I believe without a doubt in God and Jesus and all that entails Christianity.  Laughter makes me stronger.  Laughter backed by confidence and resilence.  Most everything (as backwards or off the wall) makes me stronger, outside of love.  And before that sounds like a strange contradictory sentence to the Christianity statement.  I&apos;m referring to the knee-shaking, teeth-chattering, bittersweet, bold, human expressed love.  It just catches me off guard every time and has me reverting to the fetal position all the time.  &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;if you could make up a word what would it be &amp; what would it mean? &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_pirateshipwreck&apos; lj:user=&apos;pirateshipwreck&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://pirateshipwreck.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://pirateshipwreck.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;pirateshipwreck&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;ondra&quot;; It&apos;d mean that piviotal moment when all emotions collide and bash into one another and become a super-emotion that kicks your heart out of its cage and throws it onto the ground, picks it back up, and puts it back in all wrong.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;would you rather lock yourself in a bathroom stall and cry or go up to the person that hurt you and give them a tongue lashing, knowing that they wouldn&apos;t hear a word of it? &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_sporadic__&apos; lj:user=&apos;sporadic__&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://users.livejournal.com/sporadic__/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://users.livejournal.com/sporadic__/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;sporadic__&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;These options are not something that I would do. I first find out how the entire situation was my fault. I&apos;m a horrible enemy of myself, and I know it full well. I would probably walk away from the situation, write it out, scream about it days later, and resolve the issue after awkward fights and screaming matches. I know that none of these were options were given, but this is &lt;b&gt;me.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</description>
