Have you ever...?

[Finnius]

Have you ever experienced ambivalence towards a person because you like and admire him/her, but despair over the realization that you can never be as good, cool and succesful; that the person's existence points out your obvious inferiority?

 

...Only to realize that someone else feels precisely that, about YOU?

All the freaking time... I swear, you people are far too talented for your own good.

 

Have you ever had such a bad nosebleed you couldn't eat much dinner because you were full from all that blood you swallowed?

Erm...

 

Well, yeah, unfortunately...

 

*GROSSOUT ALERT*

 

Surprising how filling blood and mucus is.

 

*ALERT OVER*

 

Have you ever laughed so hard you heard the start of a death-rattle in your throat? Or at least an out-of-breath-about-to-pass out rattle?

[Valdar and Astralis]

*GROSS ALERT*

 

Actually, on the day I had that, it was blood and phlegm. Had a cough. I but picked at lunch.

 

*GROSS ALERT END*

[Appy]

Have you ever laughed so hard you heard the start of a death-rattle in your throat? Or at least an out-of-breath-about-to-pass out rattle?

YES!

 

 

constantly.... can't think of a better way to die though

 

*HIDDEN GROSS ALERT END*

[cryptomancer]

Have you ever not noticed a blood nose even with a lot of people asking if you are ok...... Untill you got told to go look in a mirror?

 

MMMMMM Adrenalin...... Give me more of that!!!

 

 

(Yes it was a fight, but fully sanctioned by an internationally affilliated national organisation)

[Ozymandias]

Have you ever abruptly shot straight through fear, anguish, and rage to the other side?

 

Have you ever wondered if the strange habit people have of handing a cashier a handful of bills all facing up, except for the topmost one facedown is an Illuminati plot?

 

Have you ever gotten a haircut and realized that 'that scar' is still there?

 

Have you ever been drinking decaffeinated coffee and felt less of yourself for it?

 

Have you ever performed caffeine tolerance experiments on yourself?

 

Have you ever done it just because you were curious?

[Gwaihir]

Have you ever heard Someone's name and realized that that scar is still there?

[Guest Kunax]

lol is this still alive

 

Have you ever set all the egg clock in a shop for X minutes?

 

Did you stay to watch?

[Ayshela]

have you ever been so afraid to give someone bad news that you couldn't breathe?

 

have you ever given the news anyway - and been completely baffled by their response?

[Ayshela]

oh, and Gwai - yes, most definitely. *hugs*

[Gryphon]

Have you ever left someone?

 

And then met them again years later?

 

And found out the spark is still there (at least a little bit)?

 

But been unwilling or unable to act on that because either you or they have someone else in their life now?

[Jechum]

Have you ever had someone scream to you for help and not understood?

 

Have you ever killed someone with a word?

 

Have you ever had a loved one tell you goodbye and leave you forever?

 

Have you ever wanted to tell someone you were sorry from the depths of your heart but they could no longer hear?

[WrenWind]

Have you ever left someone?

 

And then met them again years later?

YES!

[Mynx]

Have you ever wanted nothing more than to be left alone...

And Fate picks that exact moment to make you what appears to be the most popular/interesting being in the immediate vicinity?

...Of course...maybe it's just because tears attract...

[Mynx]

Have you ever killed someone with a word?

Unfortunately, yes.

And that, in turn, nearly killed me

[Quincunx]

Have you ever chosen between saving a story and saving a person?

 

Have you ever chosen the story?

 

Have you ever chosen?

[cryptomancer]

Have you ever sat at a crossroad, looking at all directions, unable to choose the one to take?

 

[Vigil StarGazer]

Have you ever attended a funeral, and as you watch the dead person in the coffin you became envious of him because he lays there resting so peacefully without a care while you are still struggling through life?

 

And then have the sudden urge to say "screw this world" and want to just end it all painlessly?

And then have the sudden urge to  say "screw this world" and want to just end it all painlessly?

... and then you realised that no matter what the propoganda there is pain involved in every method of ending it - for others you love if not yourself.

[Ayshela]

Vigil - yes

Gryphon - yes

 

*hugs you both*

[Mynx]

... and then you realised that no matter what the propoganda there is pain involved in every method of ending it - for others you love if not yourself.

*hugs Gryphon*

You leave me, I'm axing myself to come after you...

[Quincunx]

Have you ever refused to let something drop/go/die? *whistles innocently--not convincingly*

[Peredhil]

Sees a bunch of Yes or No answers within himself depending on his mood.

 

Have you ever realized mood changes make you nearly several different people with opposing views on things, and then spent long periods of time to determine what DOESN'T change to decide just what your identity is?

 

Or given up and decided on an identity and lived it until it became true?

 

Or accepted an identity from someone else (like God gives out in Romans) and tried to fit into it?

 

Or a mixture and struggle of "all of the above"?

[Katzaniel]

Or tried to decide whether it's your obsessions that define you?

 

...BTW, I decided "no".

[Mynx]

Have you ever been up to you whiskers (gills, nose, beak, etc) in so much work that you have prayed for the holiday you knew to be coming...

But then when it finally arrived, wish it hadn't because it is stopping you from completing your work?

[Katzaniel]

And then have the sudden urge to  say "screw this world" and want to just end it all painlessly?

Yes.

 

Have you ever actually had space travel in mind?

 

I'm being complete serious here, just so everyone's clear.
