What career/job aspirations did you have when you were 15?
I wanted to be a hero (and do loads of shagging if I'm honest) like Richard Sharpe. Oddly enough it never happened ;)

Do shooting stars have the power to fulfill wishes?
Stars,I have seen them fall,
But when they drop and die
No star is lost at all
From all the star-sown sky.
The toil of all that be
Helps not the primal fault;
It rains into the sea,
And still the sea is salt.
(I think that means no!)

What are you really curious about?
In the excellent Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley.
http://www.thetribeonline.com/2016/08/book-review-crome-yellow/
This extract:
"The 'Biographical Dictionary' looks more promising. 'Biography of
Men who were Born Great', 'Biography of Men who Achieved
Greatness', 'Biography of Men who had Greatness Thrust upon
Them', and 'Biography of Men who were Never Great at All'."
Imagine reading those books? The book about men who were never great at all, does it have every single person who ever lived, apart from those in the other books?
Can I be in it? :)
Like every single person ever is listed in one or other of the books.

What hurts the most? One sided love or a broken friendship?
I would probably have said a broken friendship, because it's all over. Whereas if you love someone who doesn't exactly reciprocate your feelings, it might not be all over.
Anon, I'm in an on-off relationship with this girl, I love her but I don't really speak about my feelings because some people don't want to be loved. So I think maybe she isn't as serious about me as I am about her. We have sex every now and then, but is it a relationship or friends with benefits, I've never asked.
What I know is that I'd spend a thousand years in an ambigious situation where I don't quite get the level of intimacy I'd like, than to go five minutes knowing I didn't have her friendship, or that of any of my other friends. So that is my opinion.
And also the opinion of Ser Jorah Mormont, Brienne of Tarth, and millions of other people.
Yes, anon, it's difficult being at a different level of feeling to someone else. But if you choose the right people and behave towards them in the right way, there are certainly consolations in it.

Am I The Only One Who Loves & waiting for Winter? is this correct sentence ?
It's an understandable sentence, though "Am I the only one who loves waiting for winter?" is more correct.

https://gerryco23.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/david-hockney-a-bigger-picture/
Look at how he tracks the same place through time, its features changing but its core continuing. That's what got me started on the work my formal schooling almost completely stifled.
Once, I borrowed this book from the library to read it before possibly giving it to my mum as a present. But she came in and saw me looking at it (at least it wasn't my book of nudes of a Ukrainian girl, eh) so I had to explain what I was doing with a book on a subject I'd never been interested in. So I couldn't give her David Hockney, so I did an idea that had been vaguely mentioned by people but they'd never done it so I did it myself, made my own calendar.
Anon, I'm in Edinburgh so more pictues from my trip late but see what, years down the line, I've taken off with.

autumn
When summer's end is nighing
And skies at evening cloud,
I muse on change and fortune
And all the feats I vowed
When I was young and proud.
Advertisement
The weathercock at sunset
Would lose the slanted ray,
And I would climb the beacon
That looked to Wales away
And saw the last of day.
From hill and cloud and heaven
The hues of evening died;
Night welled through lane and hollow
And hushed the countryside,
But I had youth and pride.
And I with earth and nightfall
In converse high would stand,
Late, till the west was ashen
And darkness hard at hand,
And the eye lost the land.
The year might age, and cloudy
The lessening day might close,
But air of other summers
Breathed from beyond the snows,
And I had hope of those.
They came and were and are not
And come no more anew;
And all the years and seasons
That ever can ensue
Must now be worse and few.
So here's an end of roaming
On eves when autumn nighs:
The ear too fondly listens
For summer's parting sighs,
And then the heart replies.
And skies at evening cloud,
I muse on change and fortune
And all the feats I vowed
When I was young and proud.

Do you manage your time carefully and set your priorities with productivity strategies like the Eisenhower Matrix, or do you "go with the flow"? Why?
I have a lot of things planned on Google Calendar :)
Generally, I book my holidays and trips well in advance. I've already got my train ticket for a journey on the 16th of September.
http://cnybirmingham.org.uk/events/mid-autumn-festival/
Because at the beginning of the month, I buy several things and get cash out of a cashpoint and put it aside, so I can do things in the middle and end of the month rather than spending it all on relatively unimportant things.
I don't use the Eisenhower Matrix though, I had never heard of it! I'm just looking it up now. That's what I like about you, you have all these ideas and think of things I don't know anything about, so there's always a new discovery to be made :)

In what situations is persistence detrimental, in your opinion?
When it turns into stubbornly carrying on with a stupid idea in spite of the evidence...
Like yours truly did yesterday when I blundered on without properly looking at the directions and managed not to notice I'd climbed the same hill twice (from the first picture in my photoshoot) and was bouldering on in the wrong direction :)
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/post/149656253319/still-on-the-gritstone-trail-at-teggs-nose-i
Eventually I noticed that I was going back past the monument in the 5th and 6th pictures and had gone back up the hill, in a very slightly different way, and not noticed. Also my phone ran out of battery at this point and then the good kind of persistence kicked in and I just carried on regardless.
Do you know about Myers-Briggs types? I think what I did is a very INTJ thing to do :)

What song lyrics do you love most? Share them here!
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

Would you say you lack discipline or do you have it an abundance? How does (lack of) discipline manifest in your life?
I'm not disciplined in things like saving money or tidying up (boring!) but I think I am good at sacrificing pleasure and easy life today for an important gain and achievement, or something that benefits causes I support.
This weekend I am on a mission :)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gritstone_Trail
And I did half yesterday, half today, and I've posted it. If you ever watch any British TV, you might have seen an aristocratic family living here.
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/tagged/photos
In my opinion you can't get true satisfaction unless you make some kind of effort. That doesn't have to be paid work- our society fetishises paid work but neglects often more important things like caring- but you can't just live the easiest life, which is why people who inherit money are often miserable.
I still haven't got discipline over my big hardcore spending though :)

Do you think outrageous behavior mostly stems from the belief that there is nothing to lose? Why?
Yes, reckless actions often come from this.
Fir instance, I regard the British vote to leave the EU as a spasm of national insanity. And I know a lot of working-class and elderly people were unhappy at how their lives have turned out and preferred listening to lying politicians who blame immigrants than genuinely get themselves sorted out.
When we pointed out the risks, we were accused of scaremongering, Brexshitters didn't want to think about the consequences. And people do have it hard, so they thought they would lash out at the "liberal elite" and really, how could it get any worse?
Except it does get worse and you always have something to lose, and not considering that is the root of many of our problems.

Do you have a thirst for intensity in interpersonal relationships? Or do you consider intensity overwhelming? Why?
I find it very overwhelming, I often have to support my girlfriend when she is ill or upset and I can do that but I don't want extravagant declarations of love and she certainly doesn't. Some people are uncomfortable with giving all of themselves away, and we must be two of them. (we don't even live together).
I don't want passion, can't you understand that? I don't possess it myself and don't like it in others. I am a man of sentimental affections, with a touch of quiet sensuality. I don't want passion, I tell you. It's too violent. It frightens me. I couldn't possibly live with you".
You might enjoy the book that comes from :)

What is the most interesting thing you have in your purse/wallet?
I almost had nothing, since I lost my phone in a field in Shropshire today. (Anyone who'd ever been to Shropshire will know that it's not a place to lose things or yourself in!)
I was trying to get an internet signal, inevitably this failed, and I eventually noticed that I had no phone. And I'd been scratting round this field looking for a stile, so I had to comb the entire field for 45 minutes I was about to give up in despair, and presumably have to give up on the long-distance walk I start tomorrow, when I suddenly saw it on the floor!
And this is that trip, now made joyful by the return of that small, red plastic thing.
