When was the last time you felt really really scared and why?

During this trip
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/post/182327395949/the-colour-of-springtime-is-in-the-flowers-the
I was facing a serious possibility of missing the last bus from Montgomery to Shrewsbury and, charming as that town is, it would lose its appeal when I got stranded there and would have had to buy a hotel room- it's that or sleep or walk on the streets of a remote town in mid-Wales all nigh. Then I'd have had to go all the way home in the morning.
So I was very scared and very relieved when the bus arrived. Then I missed the last train from Shrewsbury to Crewe and had to go on a much longer journey via Wolverhampton, and I did thik it's my special genius to successfully get out of remote corners of Wales then bugger up journeys around a major transport hub!

Do you still keep anything from your childhood? I still have some books, and some cartoons I drew and stories I wrote from when I was about 9!

I haven't kept any of my schoolbooks but I love Lord of the Rings more than ever as my understanding has deepened.
The reason I became an environmentalist, of the type I am, is that I was always inspired by the struggle of the Ents against Saruman the Tree-Kiler, and that's the ultimate reason why I do things such as my voluntary work planting trees.
But I haven't kept any of my scribbles as none of them survived my teens (and the legacy of my teens was destroyed in my 20s, and just after that I forgot everything I'd learnt at university). Maybe not a wise idea but I was too embarrassed by everything I'd done!

My s/o listens to a playlist everyday so I asked him for a link so I could listen too & the first song I heard from it is called Prittyboi by Pandaraps. It's v sweet & about having a genderqueer partner. What's a song that reminds you of yourself, a friendship or a relationship in your life?

Google "Florida man" followed by your birth month and day and post the title. For example I searched "Florida man October 18th" and the result was "Florida man gets 40yrs for plotting to bomb Target stores".

Do you know any poem by heart? If yes, what is it?

The Laws of God, The Laws of Man
by A. E. Housman (1859-1936)
The laws of God, the laws of man,
He may keep that will and can;
Not I: let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me;
And if my ways are not as theirs
Let them mind their own affairs.
Their deeds I judge and much condemn,
Yet when did I make laws for them?
Please yourselves, say I, and they
Need only look the other way.
But no, they will not; they must still
Wrest their neighbor to their will,
And make me dance as they desire
With jail and gallows and hell-fire.
And how am I to face the odds
Of man’s bedevilment and God’s?
I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.
They will be master, right or wrong;
Though both are foolish, both are strong.
And since, my soul, we cannot fly
To Saturn nor to Mercury,
Keep we must, if keep we can,
These foreign laws of God and man.

Is it easy to give someone a second chance??

No, and I admit I generally fail to do this. But the fact that we often fail to live up to the ideal doesn't mean we should stop holding up the ideal; quite the opposite!
"If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee."

As a matter of fact nothing made me happy today as I worked all day and will spend most of the evening catching up with a backlog on my photography website, sounds depressing but I hope to have a good weekend so there is that.

Today I learned that there's a word for those lil bits of hair that are curled in the front, by your face. They're called tendrils. What have you learned recently? It can be in relation to anything! ?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
Thanks for the information about tendrils :)
I recently learned that a new book of songs written, but never recorded, by Hank Williams, has been unearthed.
I love Hank and I love Bobby Dylan, who arranged it, and his collaborators are first-class; I've developed a lot of respect for Norah Jones, and I don't know much about her but look forward to finding out more.

In my culture, if you don't use curse words, most people think you're dishonest, strange, not humourous and lack emotion. I'm Irish and everyone here tends to curse when they're around loved ones to show honesty, affection etc. What's something from your culture that others might think is odd?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
That they fail to appreciate Arnold Bennett, who in my opinion is one of the great authors and who hasn't got his due because of snobbery and a belief (particularly strong amongst English intellectuals) that great literature can't be written about working- and lower-middle-class people in industrial cities.
There are a few exceptions but in general Bennett isn't appreciated as he should be, though books like Anna of the Five Towns and The Old Wives' Tale are not only great evocations of their time and place, but explore universal themes.

If a company were planning to release a poseable action figure of you, and they asked you for your signature outfit for its costume, what would it be?

I wear a suit at work and when I put it on I never fail to think that if it were a suit of armour it would be a bit like the (metaphorical) sword described here.

As happened when Arthur Dent went to seek advice, this is what I'd say to anyone who consulted me :)
It's the story of my life. You see, the quality of any advice anybody has to offer has to be judged against the quality of life they actually lead. Now, as you look through this document you'll see that I've underlined all the major decisions I ever made to make the stand out. They're all indexed and cross-referenced. See? All I can suggest is that if you take decisions that are exactly opposite to the sort of decisions that I've taken, then maybe you won't finish up at the end of your life" --she paused, and filled her lungs for a good shout--"in a smelly old cave like this!”

cities

I also think another problem with gentrification is that in these trendy blocks of flats that are now being build in cities, almost all of them are privately rented and a lot of people only stay there for a short time, choosing to move to suburbs when they marry and have children.
So it's good that people live in cities but there aren't the same communities as there were before the right to buy (scam) was introduced, and many of the new developments are sterile, in that virtually no children and very few old people live in them. It isn't seen as a place to settle down; though some may live there for years, they don't truly putting down roots.

Where would you like to travel? ✈️

samanthadumais’s Profile Photo♛Sammy♛
Lots of places, but to single out somewhere, Austria & Bavaria.
I'd have a week in Vienna and then a week driving through the Hohe Tauern and staying in different towns and villages each night. Then sweep into Bavaria and finish my trip in Munich.
I briefly went to some of these places in 2005 but I can barely remember it tbh, so it would be good to revisit it. The first leg in Austria and the second leg either through Catholic Germandom or maybe a Habsburg trip through Slovenia and Croatia.
