My, has this thread been busy or what?...
Drom - I like your nom de plume! Do I not find it lovely?
The 'why'question: Was it not part rhetorical, part philosophical?
Do you know I agree with you that 'everyone has to find their own answers rather than following someone else's?' Am I not more than happy to let others know what I believe as well as know what it is that others believe?
Cinnesthesia - Did you know, you don't have to liquidate your assets?
Do you know that my answer to Acquiunk would be: Everything and nothing?
Is everyone bound and gagged?
Should I get the scissors? A flamethrower? Is that one word or two?
Do I not know where everyone went? NO. Have I been at the hospital? Yes. Is my dad very sick? Is that not why I have been gone?
Oh, no, Devriesj; I hope that you know that your father has my thoughts; do you?
Do you all know that I am glad you like my name? As for revelling in otherworldly drugs, Cinnesthesia, don't you know that I've not done any of that? You'll come to realise that my mind acts like it's on some schizo-drug naturally; isn't it a fact?
I was an inquisitive child, too; but is it not better to be inquisitive than apathetic like the majority of people today?
As for why I've not been here: I have been working on both a translation of George Orwell's 'Keep the Aspidistra flying' and preparing a manuscript for a book about approaches to Plath; and also getting ready to move to Armenia; I've been busy, have I not?
Do I not thank you for your thoughts, Drom? (Thank you)
Do you know that I am so sorry to hear about your father, devriesj? Will you please keep us informed?
Devriesj, do you know that you and your father are in my thoughts and that I am wishing things are not too difficult for you?
Do I thank you many times over for your kind thoughts and wishes? Do you know I may start a new thread to keep you informed if you would like?
Do I have to tell you that I'm just catching up here?
Could most of you guess?
devriesj, are you taking good care of yourself as well as your dad?
Can't you tell I'm catching up here too?
I wonder if my deer-huahua can catch that cat?
Do you know I'm doing my best to take care of myself? It's a delicate balancing act. Will my dad not be in ICU for weeks? Maybe I will find the balance by then?!
{{I started a thread in Medical Health & News called: devriesj - my dad has pancreatitus - I don't know how to link it, but if you're interested I'll post updates there... and thanks for all of your concern}}
Do you need help moving that link to share on other threads, devriesj?
Do you know I think I'll just take it upon myself to find it and bring it here for you?
I ignored some some questions, didn't I?
Dròm_et_rêve--- apathy, so what? Who cares about that? Well, I do, don't I? Don't I have an intense disdain for complacency? Is my location similar to the meaning of your name? No, it's actually a phrase from a weird old song, you know? Could it be from the 70s? You know, the lost decade of music? Especially when you compare the 70s to the 60s and the 80s? Am I not a music aficionado?
Armenia?
Ah, the seventies; does it reflect badly on me or on the decade when I say that I can hardly remember two good songs from the seventies? I didn't much like the eighties either, although that was the decade when I was finishing school; people thought: 'isn't is abnormal that anyone should hate Duran Duran?'
I loved the sixties, which I consider the best decade for music: how about you?
And yes, Armenia; I am taking time away from Academia to move to Armenia and write books... don't I have so much to do from July onwards?
Do I thank you, ehBeth for bringing the link? (I do!)
Cinnesthesia & Drom, Is this a discourse on music or travel?! Shall we talk about both?
Devriesj, we have enough questions for both; do you agree? Is it even possible to run out of questions?
Isn't that what we love? So many questions, so little time?
