No, only three or four. But then I only take part in three or four forums.

How do you chose your screen names?

I think, I was 18/ 19 years old when I thought this animal, the ermine, had some features I have myself. A bit nocturnal, on ones own, self reliant, predatory and omnivorous, misunderstood and haunted for something most do not possess, talented and not to be caught, witty a/o aggressive if needed, ambivalent in it's colour change (winter ~ white, summer ~ tan, fox like red) - my soul deep within has this dualism also, blah, blah, blah.... it seem to fit quite well.

What is, according to you, the most stupid sport, to watch on TV for instance, there is?

I think dominoes is really not worth watching on T.V. If there's any thrill to it in the first place, then it's entirely lost when watching it from the living room. I'd go further and just say that dominoes isn't worth it full stop.

What is the most common substitute curseword you use (example: heck).

Christ or crap, shite if neither count.

How do you think the world will end?

The Earth? or Human Civilization?
I think the Earth will eventually be swallowed up by the Sun when it burns out and goes supernova.
I think that Human Civilization will be progressively wiped out by a combination of climate change, disease, and the struggle for natural resources (otherwise known as warfare).

Talk about three objects that have great significance or value to you.

1. A chakra bracelet that my Mum made for me and for my Aunt. I wear it all the time and it makes me feel close to the two women who raised me and helped to make me the woman I've become.

2. A stuffed animal (koala) that my Dad gave me for Valentines day in 1979. I was 4 and I named him "Potbelly" He got him from the Vancover airport on the way home from a business trip and the he still sits on my bed. He went on a lot of adventures with me as a kid.

3. My camera. I paid a small fortune for it and it's like an extension of my limbs. I bring it everywhere with me and it captures how I see the world, which is usually different than most.

Same question.

Come to think of it I don't have any. I don't really hold on to things, although if I had a choice I probably would.

Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

No, but I've received numerous warnings for speeding, as well as a ticket for careless driving and a ticket for making an illegal U-turn. None for a while though. As I am, of course, invincible while I am driving...

What is your favorite foreign language? Why?

Not saying I have full control or total understanding (yet) but I like the English language a lot. Dutch and English differ of course but there are also fields that overlap. English grammar is easier (more logical than ours, imo) but they have common roots. Down side to this close relation, language wise, is that I mix things up easily and make mistakes in certain means of expression. But to play with language is one of the things I really enjoy doing.

Do you speak another language than we use here on WP?

yes i do, i speak french cause i live in an area where people are french speaking and dutch(with my hub and kids) since that is my mothertongue.


what are the languages taught as a second (third,...) language in your country?

That would be english i think...yeah i`ll say english.
Theres also this slightly weird additional language
thats similar to the first language, that we had to
learn when i was a kid, but i`m not sure if thats
the same way now..I`ve had use for it maybe
three times in 20 years No idea what it is
called in english, if anything


Same Q

what are the languages taught as a second (third,...) language in your country?

Afrikaans usually but also Zulu. We have 11 official languages over here, so it's difficult to say. A lot of peoples first language isn't English.

When was the last time you visited an amusement/theme park?

August 2000
It was awful..well, parts of it was
some things there was too high and fast
and some people managed to talk me
into getting in them...because they knew
they would get a good laugh watching me.
Those rotten bastards

I heard someone say "hey, theres the Spacelaunch"
and just immediatly thought "damn..this is gonna
suuuck!" and o boy did it ever!

Same Q

When was the last time you visited an amusement/theme park?
Optional Q: have you ever been to the Legoland themepark?

Never been to Lego Land and amusement parks aren't really my cup of tea but.... I've been to Disneyland near Paris in 2004. With a bus full of old colleagues from the DIY- store I worked for then. Bizarre experience due to fact I fancied a girl (13 years younger than me then) and told her in the bus. Nah, was her answer and to make a long story short, it ruined those two days. I did all(?) the attractions in the park but my mind was somewhere else.

Most liked or disliked attraction in such a park?

most like the lego room and the roller coaster and the big eye and the caroussel (the old roundabout with painted horses and mirrors and this specific music, it makes me almost cry)

less liked a roller coaster that goes upside down, i like speed but see no fun in being upside down
also i think i have a problem with some kind of balance organ or so, pinning or turning around makes me sick


how many times did you go to an attraction park (approximately)

Well I have been to my local park several times and I make an annual pilgrimage to a disney park.
The last time i was at a park was on my 18th, it was my second date with my second GF.
