Break the Ice: Newbies and Lurkers Welcome!
 
I always have a hard time thinking of something interesting to say when I jump into a thread. So here is a thread for all the lurkers and people like me who have a hard time jumping in in the middle of a thread conversation!
Here's how it works: You quote one of these ice-breaking questions (just one please, this isn't a quiz, just a conversation starter), answer it, and voila! You're in the thread! Feel free to be as random and crazy as you like!
People who are already in the thread, you can answer the question too after it's posted and talk about everyone's answers, and hopefully this will spark some interesting discussions :)
Also, free hugs for everyone! "hugs"

Ice breaking questions, quote one please and answer it!:
1.) Tell a personality characteristic of yours that begins with the first letter of your Menewshan name.

2.) If you were given $30 to spend on something today, what would you buy?

3.) What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?

4.) Tell us about a unique or quirky habit of yours.

5.) If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

6.) What’s the ideal dream job for you?

7.) If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be and why?

8.) What books/magazines are on your bedside table at the moment?

9.) If you could design an item for Menewsha to be given out during an event, what would it be?

10.) What item off your Menewshan avi would you wear in real life?

11.) Tell about something crazy or funny you did or happened to you. Doesn't matter what, just whatever pops in your head :)

If you have any other suggestions for good ice-breaking questions, let me know! Now post away!

I'll start.

When I'm bored, I run around in circles and tell crazy stories about elves to myself. My dog finds this very amusing :D

Hm, lets see...Abarat, Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, The Child of the Mist, some Seventeen magazine (not sure of the addition), an ARC book (can't recall the title), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.

By the way, don't feel bad. I work at a doggy daycare and we do some pretty odd things to keep the dogs (and ourselves!) entertained.

Oooo! I read Abarat! Very surreal...I loved all the crazy illustrations :) I'm re-reading the third Harry Potter book at the moment...the Deathly Hollows is good too ^^ What's your favorite Harry Potter book?
I used to read Seventeen...now it's more Elle and Instyle :) And Cosmo and Glamour sometimes too "turns bright red"
What kind of crazy stuff do you do to keep the dogs occupied? XD...

I love running around in circles, it's the best. xD

6.) What’s the ideal dream job for you?
Comic book artist, because I love both writing and drawing, so it's a perfect combination of the two.

Incidentally, that's the career I'm aiming for at the moment. I figure you gotta like what you're gonna be stuck doing for the rest of your life, right? xD

Heiyuu 08-14-2009 03:11 AM

I started to answer #8, then realized the only book there is...ahem, erotica. Well, now.

You run around in circles too? AWESOME!! And yes, it is a good de-stresser :)
Oh, that would be a really cool job! That's pretty awesome you're aiming for that too :) Do you have a DA I could add you on? :)

Lucentas 08-14-2009 03:14 AM

Dejagurl: I do, actually. :3 It's my website at the bottom of my posts.

7.) If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be and why?
Vanilla. I'm kinda plain, but still a lot of people like me for some reason...
xD

Yay for erotica!!! I have one of those next to my bed too...incidentally. I got it on a whim from a used bookstore and it's surprisingly good XD

I recently found out that Erotica's in the Psychology section of my local Borders. It amused me.

strawberry flavored coconut jelly and it tasted really good.

Awesome! "runs off to leave you lots of comments" I'm AzuraeSkye on DA, so if you see a bunch of random comments from her, that's me XD

@Loony Yay! You joined Mene!!! (I know Loony off Gaia :D) And you are not plain vanilla...you are like rainbow sherbet with lots of berries and sprinkles mixed in :)
And we like you because you are awesome :)

Awesome! I can never find many people that know those books. Guess it was lucky that my mom picked it up for me on a whim. But yes, very interesting illustrations. Mater Motely is frickin' wicked! Which was your favorite character(s)?
As for the HP books, I don't really have a favorite. =\ Just liked the series in general. Till Harry turned into a whiney, insufferable brat.
Seventeen is good, though it's turning a bit too much towards the younger teens now. Used to have some nice articles on things dealing with a young woman's future and the dangers out there. Now, it's more about clothes, hair, and make up.
Crazy things? Hm. Well, today we had a toy war. We were throwing toys at each other and getting tackled by the dogs. Other times we sing and dance with them, or just by ourselves. We run in circles and around the playroom sometimes, but because the manager brings her dogs in, and their herders, it's painful cause they jump and nip at us and try to herd us.

But vanilla is my favorite flavor. I'm not colorful enough to be rainbow XD
Plus vanilla goes with more things than rainbow sherbet!!

i found it in an Asian food store.

Hands down, best answer.

Dejagurl: Awesome, I love comments. :3

iLoony Lovegood 08-14-2009 03:28 AM

My avi is so...naked... xD it makes me laugh

Sinister Sassy 08-14-2009 03:28 AM

Hi Everybody!
@ Dragonqueen09: That would be so cool! Does it hurt?
The most impressive thing I can do is pop my sternum-like popping your a joint, but the sternum isn't supposed to do that.
@ iLoony Lovegood: I'm just glad they started us with the basics! Too bad you couldn't do a Godiva thing with your hair.

That's hilarious!!! Psychology? I guess it's how people think about sex....or people just think about that while they're reading it ;)

@nightstar That actually sounds pretty good. Where were you when you tasted it?

@Pink I know! You're the only other person I've ever seen mention that book :). I really like the three goddesses, they're intriguing. And the girl is pretty likable too...she's pretty brave and spunky and takes all that weird stuff happening in stride. Harry was pretty annoying by the last book >.<. Much too angsty. Yeah, I used to like Seventeen too. But now they talk about celebrities too much in it >.<
Awww...a toy war sounds like fun! That's cute you sing at them...do they like it? My dog just gives me weird looks XD. Have you ever read "97 ways to make a dog smile"? You might find some fun ideas for your daycare in there ^^
One of my mom's friend had an Australian Cattle Dog that always used to scare us trying to herd us when I was little XD. Thankfully my german shepherd hasn't figured out how to do that yet!!

Joo have red hair. That automatically makes you colorful!!!

@nightstar That's pretty cool. My sister loves going into those and buying crazy stuff :) Like frozen Rambutans (prickly fruit)

@Dragonqueen I have never known someone who could snap their toes XD. Is it fun to do it suddenly and make people jump?

@Lucentas You have been commented and watched!!! :D

iLoony Lovegood 08-14-2009 03:40 AM

I'm sick of waiting for my sister in law to get better D:<
