Solving the Paradox

[Paradox]

Right, this is in the right place now...

So, ask me anything!

[Brian]

TEN QUESTIONS:
1. What languages do you speak other than English?
2. What is the closest thing to you that is blue?
3. What article of clothing do you never ever want to get rid of?
4. Favorite dessert?
5. Wierdest thing you've ever eaten?
6. Tea, coffee or hot chocolate?
7. Rational decision maker, or feelings and emotions?
8. Sport you would like to try but never have?
9. Place in the world you would like to visit, even though you've never been there:
10. What real animal would you like to have as a pet (anything that currently exists)?

[Paradox]

Wow o_0
Sorry, forgot about this thread.
Let's see...

1. None at all.
2. The mousemat
3. My jeans
4. Treacle sponge and custard
5. Chips with gravy, ketchup, salt, pepper, vinegar, sugar, water, orange juice, cola, lemonade and custard. Quite nice, actually.
6. Tea!!!!! lol
7. Huh? Rationial, I guess.
8. I'm not that into sport. But, I guess...water polo? Or volleyball.
9. Japan, like any anime or manga fan ^_^
10. I'd love a cat. Or maybe a jaguar, or something, lol.

[Lady Vamp]

Superman or Batman? *looks pointedly at avatar and current obsessions and coughs*

[silence]

What is the longest book you've ever read?

[Paradox]

The Redemption of Althalus, I think... unless you can count a 3-in-1 book, then it's the Crystal Singer series.

[silence]

How do you read. I mean ha ha how FAST can you read?? do you go through book quickly?

[Paradox]

I can read pretty fast, but it depends on how into the story I am. Sometimes I'll re-read paragraphs, or I'll ready slowly to make sure I understand or don't miss anything.
Otherwise, I can gloss through a book, picking up the main plot, pretty quickly.

Oh, LV, sorry I missed your question. I'd have to say the Batman ^_^

[Brian]

have you ever tried martial arts of any kind?

[Paradox]

If Backyard Kung-Fu counts, then yes.

lol j/k. I practised karate for a few months, until the karate club moved to a different town, a town I couldn't afford to get to. I only got up to red belt.

[silence]

who's that in your siggy?

[Paradox]

No-one, really. Just a character from an online game called Trickster Online. They're all anthro-people. There's cat, sheep, fox, and (of course) dragon - people. ^_^

[Brian]

If you could make your hair any color right now, what would it be?

[Nyuu]

what are five things you never leave your house with out?

[silence]

do you... like spiders?

[Paradox]

Brian - icy-white
Nyuu - let's see.... my pants, my hoody, my watch, my trainers, my pendant. Will that do?
Silence - Not in the least. They're cool, and all, but I don't like 'em.

[silence]

you're trainers?


oh like shoes?? ha ha

do YOU read romance novels?

[Paradox]

Nope. Slushy nonsense with fairy-tale romantic endings. Makes me jealous, in a way. They're all the same, too.

[Brian]

When is the last time you put together a jigsaw puzzle?

[silence]

hee hee,

when is the last time you....
wanted to punch someone????

*scoots away* I can't think of any thing else to ask sorry ha ha

[Paradox]

Brian - I haven't done a jigsaw puzzle in years. Maybe, like, 5 years or something.

silence - the other day, when someone pretty much threw me out of a queue because he had more stuff to pay for than me.

[Brian]

What does your favorite pair of shoes look like?

[Paradox]

uh... plain ol' black trainers, I guess.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

what's yoiur favorite food?

[Paradox]

Pocky, lol.

Nah, seriously.... probably Spaghetti Bolognese.

[Shamanicgirl09]

What is your favorite color? Something is telling me blue but I might be wrong. :D

[frank]

Has anyone asked about your name, yet?

[Paradox]

Sha-chan: My fave colour is black, actually. Red second, blue third. Although, red and swap almost daily ^_^;;
frank: No, they haven't, to be honest.

[Brian]

Which would you rather be, a fearsome warrior or a kind and gentle fairy?

[Paradox]

Ooh, tough one. I like warriors, but fairies are among my favourite mythical creature. Is there no 'fearsome fairy warrior' option? If not, I'd have to say the fairy ^_^ cuz I'm a softie like that.

[Brian]

If you got into a taxi and the driver started driving at insane speeds through the city, what would you do?

[Paradox]

Hold tight and pray, I guess.

[Brian]

If you attended a Cosplay wedding, who would you dress as?

[Paradox]

I dunno... maybe Duo, or perhaps Pleinair, for the laugh.

[Brian]

What's your favorite kind of tree?

[The Guiltiest Gear]

Would you get your friends to cosplay as Sammy and Usagi,so you'll have Pleinair's posse too?

[Paradox]

Brian - Yew (lol)
GG - Hells yeah! That'd be awesome.

[Brian]

Do you make your porridge with water, or with milk?

[Paradox]

Um... haven't had porridge in ages. I think I used milk last time, though.

[Brian]

Have you seen Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? If so, which is your favorite character?

[Paradox]

I don't think I've even heard of it. Has it been translated to english? What's the english name?

[Brian]

Goodbye Mr. Despair, AFAIK subbed only is available.

Have you dug out any winter clothing yet?

[Paradox]

Yeah, my parka and gloves ^_^

[Brian]

How fast can you type?

[Paradox]

about 80 words a minute ^_^

Question for you - how come you're the only one who asks me anything? (no offense or rudeness intended. Just curious, 'cuz no-one else posts in here)

[Brian]

just trying to keep the area active, if someone doesn't have a question pending I try to think of one to ask them.

Can you count in binary on your fingers?

[Takai]

did you actually time your typing or was that a guess?

[Paradox]

Brian - I can't, no...

Takai - Yay! Another questioner! I took a test at school.

[frank]

What kind of test? Typing? lol just messing, dude. ^_^

[Paradox]

It was a typing test, yes. I had to type a list of words and sentences, then it calculated my typing speed.

[frank]

Are you in school?

Do you work?

What do you do?

Do you like living in England?

Have you traveled?

*phew* ^_^

[Paradox]

bwork o_0

No, no, odd-jobs for neighbours, proud to be british!!! (that means yes), and no.

*phew*

[Brian]

If someone asked you to point to Ceylon or British Honduras on a map, could you find them?

[Paradox]

Uh... no. I've never even heard of those places.

[Brian]

Have you ever climbed up something that you aren't supposed to, like a parking garage or a cellular tower?

[Paradox]

I used to love climbing on top of garages, or sheds, or school buildings. I haven't done it recently, though.

[Brian]

What's the furthest you've ridden on a bicycle?

[Paradox]

uh... the next town over? That's... 10 miles, or something... I think.

[Keter]

How long can you last underwater ? =P

[Paradox]

o_0 uh... three minutes, I think?

[Keter]

I can barely stand 2 minutes, lol

Do you believe in ghosts? And what about aliens?

[Paradox]

Aliens, for sure. I mean, there's got to be some sort of intelligent life in this universe. I'm not too sure about ghosts. I'd like to believe in them, but I just can't.

[Brian]

Do you like food cooked on an open grill?

[Paradox]

I've never had food cooked like that before, so I don't know. Sounds good, though.

[Brian]

If you won an all-expenses paid one-week vacation trip to Baghdad, would you go?

[Paradox]

If I could take some friends, maybe. But, I don't really like going abroad. To anywhere.

[Brian]

If you were for sale in the grocery store, what section would you be in?

[Paradox]

o_0

Bargain Bin. Or, reduced for quick sale.

[Fuu]

which specie of fish is the one you got over there?
http://www.animechatforums.com/forum/images/gifts/fish.gif<- that one

[Paradox]

I honestly don't know. It was a gift from a user.

[Fuu]

it looks like a himihiminukunukuapua'a to me D: but im not sure...

do you believe in ghosts and wondering spirits?
Have you ever had an encounter with something supernatural?

[Paradox]

I sort of do believe in them. But I've never witnesssed a supernatural event.

[Fuu]

Mhh... and had you read Carolina Moon by Nora Roberts? xD
and.. do you like Perry the platypus?

[Paradox]

I've, uh... never heard of either of them.

Btw, liking the Hikaru picture in your sig. ^_^

[Fuu]

Damn, noone read that book xD! i was looking for someone to retell it to me ;_;
and you dont know Perry? D: from Phineas % Ferb? look for him, he is the awesomest platypus ever.

Ehm...returning to the questions =)
which one do you prefere Hikaru or Kaoru? Why?
Who is your favorite character from Ouran?

[Paradox]

I don't have a preference, because I don't think they work as seperate characters.

My fave Ouran character is either Umehito Nekozawa or Ritsu Kasanoda. Probably Kasanoda. ^_^ He's so awesome.

[Fuu]

Aww Nekozawa is so funny.. and Kasanoda... he is notmy favorite but i seriously love him.

Do you think that Kasanoda will do a good couple with Haruhi?
Who do you think SHOULD end up with Haruhi? (Not considering that Tamaki is his predictable destined partner)
If you were in the host club...who would you choose to be your host?

Have you seen Yu Yu Hakusho?

[Paradox]

you think that Kasanoda will do a good couple with Haruhi?
Who do you think SHOULD end up with Haruhi? (Not considering that Tamaki is his predictable destined partner)
If you were in the host club...who would you choose to be your host?

Have you seen Yu Yu Hakusho?
I think Kasanoda is great for Haruhi, but the person I think should be with her is Morinozuka Takashi. Mori-senpai is too cool and hot for his own good ^///^

No, I haven't seen Yu yu Hakusho. I want to, though.

[Nyuu]

What is your favorite sound?

[Paradox]

A baby kittens' meow ^////////^

[Takai]

YAY fellow Nekozawa fan!

do you think he is better with blond hair or black wig?

[Fuu]

Oh! i always thought that haruhi had to end with Kasanoda too! XD hahahaha nd mori~~ mh~that will be refreshing xD

If you were nekozawa who will you put an spell on?

[Paradox]

Takai: He looks gorgeous with blond hair, but all cool and mysterious with his black wig. I just can't choose! *swoon*

Fuu: Probably Mori, to make him like me ^_^;;

[Brian]

Have you ever seen a record album, the kind you have to put on a phonograph player to hear?

[Paradox]

I... think I have. Those old, uh... vinyls, are they called?

[Keated]

Do you know the bootstrap timetravel paradox?

[Paradox]

The thing about if you go back in time, it doesn't matter what you do, you will always end up doing what you did before. The past in unchangeable, and if you go back to try and change it, you'll still end up doing it, in one way or another, thereby maintaining, and not upsetting, the flow of time.

... I think.

[Keated]

Yup, something like that, along the lines of 'Here past me, have this instruction manual on building a time machine... well, I'm off to conceive your grandfather - toodles.' would be a double example, haha. Basically, a closed loop in time, in that in order for you to be able to go and do what your past self experienced, such as building the time machine, you must have already visited, lol.

So, why the name Paradox btw? :)

[Paradox]

Why Paradox? Because my friends say I'm one. They got tired of call me a walking contradiction, so they called me a paradox instead.

[Keated]

Lol, the easiest way to get around being called a walking-anything is to invest in a jetpack XD

Hmm, did you know that the Twin Paradox isn't actually a paradox? :)

[Paradox]

It's just something about relative motion, isn't it? One went fast then stopped (accelerated then decelerated) at high speeds (near light, or at light, speed if I recall), thus resulting in the other twin ageing normally while the first kind of skipped past that time.

I can't quite explain it, but no it's not a paradox.

(please don't ask me any more paradox questions. I'm not a paradox enthusiast, it's just a nickname. Why not ask a normal question, like how did I become known as a walking contradiction?)

Can I ask a question? Where can I buy a jetpack?

[Brian]

Yes you can ask a question, but you'll have to go to someone else's thread to do it. Them's the Roolz.

Do you like Maxfield Parrish paintings? If so, which is your favorite?

[Paradox]

I, uh... don't know who Maxfield Parrish is. Sorry.

[Fuu]

If you could have any one real Pokemon, which one would you take?

[Paradox]

Eevee for sure. And if item existed, I'd give it an Everstone so it'd never evolve and stay cute forEVA! ^///^

[Brian]

Have you ever met someone for the first time and had an inexplicable urge to punch them in the nose, without really knowing why?

[Keated]

Lol, alas I think they're rather expensive at the moment, though have you seen the film Kick Ass? XD

Heh, and yeah that's basically it for the twin paradox - if the other twin was always moving at the same speed it wouldn't work, since a constant velocity is the same as zero velocity as far as the universe is concerned. Accelerating, however, breaks the symmetry :)

Ah well, but yes I am curious about why you're known as a walking mass of contradictions :)

[Paradox]

Brian: Yes, most of the people I have the misfortune to meet. I seem to attract weirdoes and *insert sweary-insult word here* type of people.

Keated: Because of how I love and hate near enough everything in equal measure. For example, I'll buy a packet of crisps (chips for americans) or a pasty. I'll either say I don't like the look of it, and it looks disgusting but eat it anyway, or I'll say it looks nice, try it and not like it, but eat it anyway.
Basically, no matter what I seem to feel about something, I feel the opposite emotion in equal proportion.

... or maybe it was when my friend owed me five pounds, and I ended up owing him five pounds, thus him owing ten pounds (somehow. stay with me), and in the end we agreed to not pay each other because we lost track of who owed what, and in the end I got a fiver.

[Keated]

Hmm, so not simply ambivalence but rather both extremes concurrently?

In which case, what's your opinion on Marmite? haha XD

Also, how exactly did you end up with him owing you more? Did you pay him with a tenner or something? :-S

[Paradox]

I... have no idea. We spent about three hours fathoming everything out, and in the end I got a fiver.

[Brian]

If someone offered you fifty pounds to shave your hair and have an advertisment painted on the back of your head for a week, would you do it?

[Paradox]

Never ever ever ever ever ever!

Nothing would make me shave my head.
