1. Fiction or non-fiction - either but I possibly lean more to non-fiction because I'm usually after a bit of escapism.
2. I admire people who.. are able to plan what they need to do to reach their goal and implement that plan - it's a skill set I don't quite have.
3. I feel self conscious when.. - I've had to do performance reviews.
4. The person that knows you the best - of the non-divine variety - my husband.
5. Did you cry in Titanic? - believe it or not, I haven't seen it.
1. Fiction all the way. Having said that I wonder if I'd like Peter Fitzsimons.
2. step down from power graciously.
3. rebuking a fellow believer.
4. Rachel.
5. Not the first time. But I've been brought close to tears since then when people say what a wonderful film it was. Dreadful thing.
1. fiction!! to read, non-fiction to write
2. are consistently witty
3. at the beach ... and when i try to sip tea in class and end up spilling it (i'm the teacher ...)
4. probably my mom
5. no ... i made the mistake of renting it and watching it with my dad
1. Non Fiction
2. persevere
3. Selling a surfboard I built
4. My dad
5. Heaps!!
1. Fiction for reading. Although I'm quite partial to a good biography. I'm with Kim, though. Non-fiction for writing.
2. Don't care what people think.
Who have good fashion sense without blowing out into a massive budget.
3. I wear clothes that are of a style that is out of my comfort zone.
4. My husband.
5. Oh yes. And I never want to see it again as a result. It is terrible.
1. non-fiction (but then there's comic books)
2. maintain focus
3. people talk about weight and exercise
4. Margaret
5. only until Leonardo disappears into the deep.
1. Fiction
2. Who don't seem to feel the need to blow their own trumpet
3. Blowing my nose in public
4. E
5. No, I rejoiced
1. fiction
2. are really selfless without complaining
3. I have to parallel park while someone's watching
4. hubby Sam
5. No. But I did stick photos of Leonardo on my school books. That's even more embarassing.
1. Either! As long as it has ferrets in it! Actually I never used to read non-fiction, but as I grow older, I am enjoying it more and more. Especially Alain de Botton.
2. I admire people who can dance.
3. I feel self-conscious when I see myself in a mirror. Best not to look.
4. ??? God - is that cheating? Because everyone knows me, but nobody knows me best. I kinda wish somebody did but so far it will never happen. I am just not a partnered being or "best-friend" type person.
5. Oceans of tears. Oceans.
1. Fiction mainly, although the older I get the more I like non-fiction.
2. People who handle conflict well.
3. I'm in a group of people I don't know.
4. Yeah, Simone.
5. Lol.
Laetitia- Good for you. I didn't see it until about 10 years after it's release.
Al- Yeah, I read a portion of Peter Fitzsimmons' book about his dad in the Good Wekend a few weeks back, and it really appealled to me.
Kim- Yep, I'm never really at ease at the beach either. Unless it's totally secluded.
Pedro- I would have been shocked and saddened if you didn't cry, brother.
Wendy- I admire that in people too, not worrying about 'the praise of man'.
mgpcpastor- You read comics? I love comics. What do you read?
Soph- Oh yeah, parking. As soon as anyone's watching, I'm totally rubbish at it.
Georgina-'oceans of tears' Heh! It seems like a trend that as we get older we get more attracted or appreciative of non-fiction. I wonder why that is.
Andrew- People who handle conflict well are very admirable to me too. Often it's in those situations that you really see God working in them, that they are able to overlook offence, and respond with love.
Lots and lots of DC and Marvel, back in the day before they turned into 22 page snuff pamphlets. (and when you could basically purchase everything they published, if you had a mind to.)
Sold a reasonable late silver/bronze age collection back in the day and started buying theological books instead.
Dabbled in lots of other stuff at different times.
Recent faves were Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier and any version of Sandman that got published.
Currently, Fables, and Tiny Titans (Aw yeah!) and lots of nostalgia via some omnibus editions. Wouldn't mind checking out Cookes' adaptions of Hunter.
Gary.
1. Fiction
2. Go for it....
3. Speaking in front of people
4. My mother
5. Yes
1. Both. A good story is a good story whether true or not.
2. I admire people who... have confidence
3. I feel self conscious when... I'm in a strange place
4. My husband, I hope
5. With laughter? No actually, I don't think I did.
(Also, for lack of somewhere else to say this: Ben! You should have come to the animation/graphic novel/comic festival at the Opera House over the weekend - it was fantastic! Flag it for next year!)
mgpcpastor- Sounds like we like different stuff, though there'd probably be a bit of cross-over here and there. I like Darwyn Cooke's drawing, though I've never bought any of his stuff. Was New Fronteir worth a look?
I love comics, but struggle to find stuff I really like, especially drawing-wise. I mostly read Dark Horse stuff like Hellboy and B.P.R.D., both of which i love. My other obsession is old Conan's, circa late 70's. I love the good ol' Buscema/thomas Conan, and just the look and smell of old comics.
Beth- Yeah I admire that too. A lot of people, myself included, like to talk a lot about doing, but never actually DO!
Amy- Yeah, I'd wanted to go, but wrote it off as it was the weekend of our house auction. Probably couldv'e gone, afterall. It was good, hey? PS- I thought you were a Queenslander.. was it in Brissy as well?
Ben: It was fantastic! I flew down for it and got to meet Neil Gaiman, so I am beyond stoked. Think I will be flying down next year for it too.
Such dedication- What a fangirl!
