Questions With Answers

Here we are, a month later from that one post. Sorry about the wait, if you were curious. I'm ready to answer my questions that I have posed to you. But then again, they weren't my questions...or were they? >:D

Is this the real life? No, it certainly is not. It's all based on perspective.

Is this just fantasy? Life isn't real, but it isn't fantasy. It's based on perception. :) (This is what happens when you try to marry philosophy to music. Though Freddie Mercury was indeed, by all accounts, a genius.)

Do you believe in magic? When I didn't receive my Hogwarts letter at 11, I was depressed for a month. So no, I don't.

How does it feel to be on your own, to be without a home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone? It feels like...life. Then again I'm not "Miss Lonely".

Is it in your genes? What is? 

Come on girls, are you ready to play? (Back in 8th grade, I was an Indian Maharajah. The teacher I TA'ed for suggested I get a harem. Unfortunately I don't have a harem. 

Why don't you do right, get me some money too? But I had money in 1922...maybe I'll try again 2022. :)


Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed?  "I told you, the door to my office is always open. I think you know why it's always open -- that was stolen, I'd like that returned." ~Bob Newhart

Would you dance, if you asked me to dance? "On the contrary -- I find quadrille invigorating." ~Hamish, Alice in Wonderland 

 What about all the things that you said we were to gain? Oh, don't worry...we're "guarding" your money. Don't worry. :)

He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious?  You can try.

 If you see Kay, will you tell her I love her? I don't know Kay, but I know I and Jay and Ell and Em.

 Is your conscience all right, does it plague you at night? "Ah! that is clearly a metaphysical speculation, and like most metaphysical speculations has very little reference at all to the actual facts of real life, as we know them." ~Cecily Cardew

 Did you make it to the Milky Way and see the lights all faded, and that Heaven is overrated? I didn't make it to the Milky Way, though. I did make it to the Andromeda Galaxy though, and the lights there are beautiful. :)

What in the world does your company take me for? My company? The CEO, of course. :) You? Get back to me later. :)

If we dissolved without a trace, would the real world even care? "That's the way of things...the real world and the fake world...rarely are." ~Me and Walter Bishop

Questions Without Answers

I have a bunch of questions that I have no answers to. Well, I will answer them. But I'm interested to see what everyone here thinks! So as a result, I will list these questions -- twenty five of them -- and see what you, readers and lurkers, think are the answers. I'd love to hear everyone's answers! You don't have to answer every question, just the ones you like. Or whatever. I will post my answers soon.


Is this the real life? Or rather: Is this just fantasy?

Here's a personal favorite: Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

A bit too close to home: How many roads does a man walk down before you can call him a man?

Saddening: All the lonely people - where do they come from?

One Harry Potter might like: Do you believe in magic?

Ooh, this one's cold: How does it feel to be on your own, to be without a home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?

All of these songs are personal favorites of mine and make up a substantial part of my personal, secret playlist. Or did. Bonus points if you guess which songs they are, with singers of course.
