3) Make me a a picture. Start from scratch, enhance something already done, whatever; just be creative. If you don't have somewhere to upload it to, feel free to send it to me and I'll take care of it.

behold, my l33t picturific skills of an artist!!!


4) Tell me what about yourself you like best.

I think the best thing about me is that I'm very empathetic, and that i care enough to act upon it. I'm only happy if you're happy, and I'm saddened if you're not. If you're not, then I'll do whatever i can to cheer you up or make things right. This, coupled with my intense devotion to those i care for, i've been told can be overwhelming, but not unpleasant

Q3: Picture
I designed this necklace for you.


Q4: Like Best
I like my intelligence the best. I love to learn, and I really enjoy good stimulating intellectual conversation. I dont' necessarily mean high-brow stuff - just topics that make me think and broaden my world view.

[Herr Van der Graaf]

Question 3: I'm having quite a bit of trouble with my computer right now, so I'll have to get back to you on the picture. I did draw one, but it died.

Question 4: The thing I like best about myself... wow. I'll go with my memory. It's fun - terrible for important stuff, but really good at remembering stupid things like long strings of numbers and song lyrics. I'm usually better at remembering people's phone numbers than I am their names. So that's kinda funny.

[Peabody]

4.
Wow. Tough question. I mean, how does one make a case for one's ability to fly being better than one's super strength? It provides more fun, I suppose, and is more useful in everyday situations (no need to blow money on car insurance), but there are few things as deeply satisfying as stopping a train with one's bare hands. And it only makes the decision more complex when I add my hijinks-friendly x-ray vision into the mix!


[slightly less frivolous]
At first I found the question too difficult, so the above paragraph was going to be my response entire. But the question really intrigued me, so I kept thinking about it, and, as it turns out, I was incorrect. There is a trait about myself that stands out as being the most likable/enjoyable - I see beauty everywhere, and absolutely revel in it.

Constantly throughout my day I am presented with sitations that overwhelm me. Sometimes I simply smile in admiration, sometimes I am frozen in rapt awe, occasionally I actually begin shaking with joy - and it is truly astonishing how little it takes to bring me to this state.

Poetry, of course, and music. A painting, a well-written novel, a tightly constructed argument, a nest of baby squirrels learning to climb for the first time. Truly silly puns and the billiards trick-shot championship, an ancient, well-weathered tree, a newly sprouting sapling. Walking through a copse of trees that completely shut out the busy city around, walking amongst a cluster of towering skyscrapers (especially when it's raining). Peacefully floating clouds, powerful thunderstorms, and the rainbows that follow. A deep breath of fresh air, a child sleeping, or awake and laughing, and sometimes even when kicking and screaming.

I really enjoy my life.

[Mr. Tillamook]

4. I can make really good pies.

[Romeo]

I personaly think one of my most redeeming qualities is my duality. I can argue both sides of an arguement with myself, without reaching any conclusion. This gives me a much less strict view on things being either absolutely right, or absolutely wrong, and consequently i think i'm more open to the opinions of others.
This also tends to make me somewhat empathetic to others. In any arguement i can understand both peoples positions, and thus i tend to rarely become angry, or drawn into an arguement.
While because my philosophy makes me believe that on the broad scale, anything and everything we do is irrelevant, i am still capable of functioning in the world around me, and experiencing it to the fullest extent.

Theres probably a bit more that i can't think of at the moment.

[Mackay]

Pah! It's "fairy floss", not "cotton candy". (Or "faerie floss", if you prefer, my sweet.)

*goes back to posing as a man*

[casinopete]

*bets Mackay is Keith Richards* (whoever is actually playing KR: that pic is amazing)
fnord.

[Suki]

I have no clue why Mackay would pretend to be a man, having already won FF's heart as a woman.sooo hot...

[Faeriefire]

5) This game is about winning my affection, so I think it's time for some flattery. I think I'll leave it open ended like that.
I would say my favorites so far are: Peabody, Dr. Dubey, Romeo . . . ummm, yeah.

[Captain Vague]

You're great.

[FaerieFirie]

<---- most sincere

[Herr Van der Graaf]

Question 4: I agree with someone back there who said they thought their answer was too frivolous and changed it. I thought the same thing about mine, but didn't have the time to add more. I guess what I like about myself is my love for the people around me. I haven't always had this trait, and I spent a long time hating everyone, but the feeling of loving people is something that can't be replaced. And being loved in return is even better - which seems to come naturally when you exude an enthusiastic affection for the people around you. So... yeah.

Question 5: Faeriefire, I know it's pretty hard to change your opinion this far into the game (bah @ beartalon - you know who you are), but I would have liked to have said this anyway - Captain Vague is right. You're great. In fact, you're beyond great. You're spectacular. You are my favourite girl on the GL, and I don't think I'm the only person of that opinion. You are intelligent and beautiful - the pictures you have posted in glpics quite frankly took my breath away. You make me laugh - ridiculously loud sometimes. I wish I knew more about you so I could go on and on, but really. You are incredible. I've seen (not in person, unfortunately) the effect you have on other people, it's astonishing. So whatever praise the other hopeful bachelors think of will probably run along the same lines as mine - and that is that you are unbelievably great, in such a way that it's hard to express in words. Hell, I know I'm having a lot of trouble.

[SoSuMi]

Q5 - Flattery
FaerieFire:
An
Excellent
Representative
In
Elegance,
Friendliness,
Intellect, &
Respectful
Eloquence

[Romeo]

This question is nearly impossible to answer, if only because the GL dosn't have eneough server capacity for somone to list even half of your virtues. I shall try with the best of my abilities to describe you, but i know that whatever i may do, I cannot write anything that would honor you as you truly deserve to be honored. Your beauty surpasses that of all the angels in all the world. A man would gladly sacrafice his eyes for a single opportunity to revel in your magnificance. Any man would be honored to give up his lips for but a single kiss. You have wit sharp eneough to stab a hole through a man's heart, yet you are kind eneough that no man need fear such a fate. Your wisdom is such that Socrates would be left baffled, and Plato would have given up Philosophy for poetry in shame.
I am saddened because all i have said is but a shadow of a reflection of your true glory. The english language lacks the words to describe you.

FaerieFire didn't even guess if he was playing in reply #35. He's probably off celebrating his new job and ignoring this altogether. If he was playing, I bet he's anal enough to check FaerieFire's profile and KNOW she's from Washington state, not Oregon. I don't think he's here at all.

[Mr. Tillamook]

5. SCHWING!

[Herr Van der Graaf]

Well, SoSuMi, I think he IS here. So sue me. (I've been dying to do that all game...)

[Stained Glass]

The only way I could truly show my love and desire to be with you would be in a half an hour speech that was entirely in Greek. Of course, I like to keep some things as a surprise for later so I'll use English

[Keith Richards]

Your heroin technique is beyond words. When I look into those eyes, that open vein, those slender needles filled with such beautiful heroin, your light push on the end of the needle as you inject the heroin, ever so subtlely, it reminds me of those days when heroin was legalized.

Ahhhh, those days. Nobody else in this world can remind me of those glorious, fun-filled days.

[Light Fantastic Tripper]

I'm sorry to be showing up so late. I was away on business last week.
Can't complain about the destination, though.

1) Gliders are like airplanes with no internal means of propulsion. To launch, they are towed by a car with a long rope. Once in the air, you can trade height for distance or head for towering clouds where you can circle upwards on the updrafts. On a perfect day, it's possible to travel hundreds of miles in almost complete silence.

The wild and crazy part comes from the acrobatics that can be performed. Because the body is so light, flips and turns are easy. The danger is stalling - when the wind speed over the wings slows to the same as the wind speed under the wings, and the plane falls like the rock.

Perhaps the best part of it is that most two-person gliders have dual controls. There's a pedal for each wing-flap and a control stick for the tail. Easy as pie. Of course, if you stall us out, I'll be forced to wait until we're really close to the ground before pulling out of it...

2) My restaurant would be devoted to you, of course! Pictures of you on the walls, and some of your stuff, too. The food would be things like "Crispy Kristina Chicken" and "Faerie Fire Fries" and "Hansonburger". It would be a hip, clean, cool place, and we would play really good music about one decibel too loud.

3) I have something appropriate on my computer at home. I'll post it soon.

4) I would have to say that I'm most proud of my attention to detail. On a date, the details can either make or spoil the evening. On a hike through the woods, I will not remember the length of the trail, but rather the colourful bird that I flies as we near it.

Perfection is a rare occurance, especially in our rush-hour world. I fancy myself an oddity that I appreciate it. In fact, I recognize a bit of my favourite subject in you. Maybe that explains the distant fascination that I've long harboured.

5) I am not going to flatter you. Why would I compliment you insincerely when you deserve truthful praise? It is no lie or exaggeration to say that you are a great person. My brief conversations with you manifest a woman of remarkable mental beauty. You can clearly see concepts and ideas that my mind cannot comprehend. As a human being, you are kind and gentle. You are considerate towards the needs and feelings of other people. You know how to take a joke, and you have a great sense of humour. You are no stranger to devotion and hard work, but you don't complain when the load is heavy. Additionally, you play what is possibly the most beautiful-sounding musical instrument ever conceived.

And your body, girl, is like liquid sugar. Sweet as hell.

[fhqwhgads]

5) This game is about winning my affection, so I think it's time for some flattery.
The best, truest, and most sincere flattery is given only to those who inspire it. In this, I cannot fathom how anyone could do less than to hold you in awe. With eyes that sparkle like pools of diamonds, and at the same time convey such warmth, comfort and security, I cannot help but lose myself in your eyes, and were i to meet you I am sure i would be struck speechless as i found myself wrapped and uplifted by thier promise of love.

Raven tresses soft and radiant, inviting me to caress the silky strands of a summer night. I want to nestle close and let the scent of your hair cradle me as i dream of such wonders as heaven bestows. The angelic face that draws me into it's secrets and allure, lips full and tantalizing, all teasing my senses as i feel intoxicated by your beauty.

And within the beauty of form that so bewitches me, lie still greater things, of character, honesty, and love, laughter, light, and life. I trust you wholly, I need you completely. You lift my spirits when they fall, share in my moments of despair and of triumph as though they are your own, with empathy born of those truly gifted with emotion. A closer soul-mate i would not find in a hundred worlds such as this, nor a hundred lifetimes in each. I thank you for all that you are, and all that you mean to so many, and to me.

Truly, through all of this I am unabashedly awestruck.

[Faeriefire]

Well, I was going to make a new question, but then I thought, "Is it really necessary?" Unless you have any last remarks you're dieing to say, this is it, folks.
Thank you very much, I'm surprised at the turnout. I was also ever amazed at every answer. You are a creative bunch.
I'll miss being the center of attention, but such is the way things go.
~snogs for everyone~
Good luck

I'll have the answer in a few days or so. Of course, some of the time I'll be snooping out who's who

[Light Fantastic Tripper]

Characters are copywritten to the owners.

[Stained Glass]

I was hoping for a question like "what pick up line would you you when we first meet?"

[Faeriefire]

Well, Stained Glass, would pick up line would you use when we first meet?

[SoSuMi]

Pick Up Line
Use your knees, not your back, and don't twist when standing up. Pick up the object, stand up straight, then turn.

That's the advice I always got.

[Peabody]

5.

I'm afraid your question has defeated me.

I could say that there simply isn't enough time to offer a sufficiency of praise, and it would be true, but that would not tell the entire story.

Likewise could I berate the English language (or any language of man or angel) for it's weakness, it's lack of appropriate words, but again, while true, it skirts the core of the problem.

For the word "flattery" indicates insincere or undeserved praise, and thus any attempt I might make is doomed from the start. No matter how elegant or eloquent my words might be, no matter how ambitious and grand the scope of my acclaim, I could offer at most the barest shadow of the truth. To call you merely "kind" or "wise" or "beautiful" would be to make the cosmos weep at such injustice.

It is simply a logical impossibility to exaggerate your virtues.

[Suki]

Baby, you could drive my car.~has hot lesbian sex with Kristina~

[Sherman]

A million poets could write for a million years, and still describe but three-eighths of your beauty.

[Faeriefire]

Hey, Light Fantastic Tripper, I love your answers and all, but that pic isn't appearing on my computer. Is it just me?

[Mr. Tillamook]

i think glpics is down

[Herr Van der Graaf]

Does this mean I can't post a picture?

[SoSuMi]

For now, yes.

[Herr Van der Graaf]

Bah! That means I CAN'T have won! *cries, but in a MANLY way*

[Suki]

Hey Graff-y, if you want to send the picture to me, I'll host it on an external web site. It will be linked, rather than directly visible. Same for you, Clumsy-feet.I think you know well enough who I am...=)

[Herr Van der Graaf]

[Sherman]

You've got a butt that won't quit.

[Faeriefire]

I'll certainly wait till you get your picture up before I decide anything, Herr.

[Stained Glass]

I would use "Hello."
