dana_ann I wouldn't say I 'need' to have a boyfriend. I would like to, especially as there's someone I like at the moment, but I wouldn't just hook up with some random person for the sake of saying I have a boyfriend. Not having one hasn't killed me in the last 16...

dana_ann I can easily lead or follow... It depends on the personalities of the people around me. If I'm with people that have really strong personality I tend to shrink into the background, but other times with people that perhaps aren't quite as out there, I'll find...

Malyck @Malyck (3425) • Australia 15 Aug 07

dana_ann I don't have a parrot I'm afraid. I do have a cockatiel and a rosella though. The cockatiel was called Tweetie by it previous owner, but we just call her Birdie... and the Rosella is Mr Bird... Jeez we're creative. No points for guessing where they came from....

How will you be spending Christmas Day?

Malyck @Malyck (3425) • Australia 8 Dec 07

So Christmas means something different to everyone, and is celebrated differently in different cultures. I'd love to know how all you myLotters will be spending your Christmas Day '07! I live in Australia, down in the Summery...

dana_ann Hey! Long time no chat! But more onto the subject... I'm actually feeling very Christmassy for once. Usually I have trouble getting into the spirit because my family isn't all that into it. But this year I got the tree up on the 2nd of December (instead of...

Do You Enjoy The Rain?

Malyck @Malyck (3425) • Australia 1 Sep 07

Do you like rainy weather? What is your favourite activity to do when it's raining? Do you like the smell of the rain? Why/Why not? Personally, I have always loved the rain. Living just out of the city, the air is fairly...

dana_ann I love the rain for the first day or two after ages without rain, but when it's been falling for a couple of weeks, it just makes me want to see the sun again. Not that it ever rains that much here, but too much at once totally spoils it. And I hate the mud.

dana_ann Depends on my mood and the movie... Comedies are best when there are other people to laugh with, but sometimes romances are better on your own. I like watching movies with a sad ending on my own because my sister usually cracks jokes at the end if I watch it...

Do You Think That Homosexuals/Bisexuals Should Have To "Come Out"?

Malyck @Malyck (3425) • Australia 20 Aug 07

dana_ann I'm with you on this one. I don't see why it matters. A person should be happy being who they are, no matter what that is. And 'coming out' wouldn't be such a big deal anyway if everyone thought that. But hey, there are always going to be people who want to...

do you have friends whom you hate?

mkcallejo @mkcallejo (318) • Philippines 18 Aug 07

Usually, when we choose our friends, we choose the ones that we are in the same wavelength with; however, some people have friends whom they hate. Tell me about it?

9 responses

dana_ann I find it hard to hate anyone... I'd have to have a really good reason. But I'm not necessarily close to most of my friends. They are just people I know and get along with.

Music Snobbery

Malyck @Malyck (3425) • Australia 16 Aug 07

So, music snobbery really bothers me, you know: those people who put crap on bands or genres that you like just because they don't. Even if they've never listened to the band, but their friends don't like them or...

dana_ann I definately love country music above anything else, although I'm not too fond of some of the older style country with pick strum and everything. Probably because I was brought up listening to country and I write country songs myself. Having said that, I also...

What side of the bed, and why?

dana_ann I always sleep in the middle of the bed. There's a ditch right in the middle so I couldn't sleep on the edge if I wanted to. I don't think I move that much when I'm asleep, but I know when I do I actually pick myself up and turn over so I don't muck up the bed...

dana_ann I know what you're getting at and I agree to an extent, but when all's said and done, it's a TV show and it's all about image. I definately think they should stop picking on people for their weight, but I guess part of it is putting people under pressure and...
