Do you read potboilers?

cripfemme @cripfemme (7698) • United States 14 May 10

I learned this word today. Thanks to Jasper Fforde. According to the dictionary, it's a mediocre work of literature produced mainly for profit. I try not to read potboilers, but every so often I'm guilty of it. Recently, I have...

lifedoesntimitate First off, I LOVE Jasper Fforde! It makes me so happy that you mentioned him. :) Secondly, yeah. I totally read potboilers. I'd never heard the term before, but I'll totally read a book that has very little social value. Sometimes they're really fun. I...

the secret of writing..

pinkberry009 @pinkberry009 (25) • Philippines 16 May 10

hi all! I am so wanting to write articles but I am so unfortunate that every time I write something, my mind becomes empty. I admit that I love to read and there are a lot of ideas in my brain. I am also good in English but one...

lifedoesntimitate Hopefully it'll make you feel better to know this little secret: Most writers don't actually like writing. It's true. We spend so much of our creativity in thinking up ways not to write. We love the before and after. We love coming up with ideas, and we love...

Are good and evil fact or opinion?

spiderlizard22 @spiderlizard22 (3444) • United States 16 May 10

Can something be proven good? Can something be proven evil? Are good and evil just opinions?

6 responses

lifedoesntimitate I think both good and evil are neither facts nor opinions. They are ideas. Ideas can't be proven; they can only be realized or not realized. Given that, my thinking is that good can not exist without evil, and vice versa. I think that we recognize our...

Even though she rejected me she still wants to be friends, what does this mean?

ctrich91 @ctrich91 (52) • United States 15 May 10

Me and this girl have been hanging out a lot for the past 2 months. She knew I liked her cuz she asked me and she told me she liked me too. She would text me like everyday and some of this would be just about what I was up to,...

lifedoesntimitate My advice would be that if you agree to be friends with her, plan to be just that: friends. I wouldn't recommend saying that you'll be friends with her, but secretly anticipating the day that you'll be more than friends. That's essentially lying to her, and...

lifedoesntimitate I know it was already discussed, but I just want to echo the sentiment that you should acknowledge the fact that they may decline your offer. In fact, it's certainly possible that they may be put off by it. I would recommend to you, as I often do to people, to...

Do you watch the film/drama serial from the start to the end?

warvial @warvial (1146) • Singapore 15 May 10

Okay, for movies, I guess most of us will just stay put throughout the whole movie. But recent years, there are a number of films that are more than 1 part. For example, the famous Lord of the Ring, Harry Potter etc. And...

lifedoesntimitate I definitely watch all of it. Like, you, if I just don't dig it, I'll stop watching, but if I'm into it, I need to watch every episode. You talk mostly about drama here, but sitcoms and comedies, more and more these days, are becoming a bit more serialized...

lifedoesntimitate First off, if the above response is the best response, you should totally award the "Best Response" notation to it. :) Secondly, I'm really sorry that you felt such grief and pain. That's obviously never pleasant, but hopefully you're able to turn it around...

so many channels but nothing to watch

se7enthbird @se7enthbird (8307) • Philippines 13 May 10

there are times when you hit the remote and find something to watch on the television, sometimes you run to with all the channels that are available and there is nothing to watch. a good show but started half an hour ago, a...

lifedoesntimitate My wife and I recently got Netflix and a DVR. This basically results in us being able to create our own viewing schedule, meaning we can almost always find something to watch. I don't know where you live, so I'm not sure if you have access to Netflix, but if...

lifedoesntimitate Well, I'm not a student, but I do have a part-time job. I'm trying to be successful as an actor and a writer, so my part-time job is really my survival job, so to speak. I find it very helpful, though not ultimately particularly emotionally rewarding, you...

Is it a fruit or vegetable?

wonttakelong @wonttakelong (3555) • United States 14 May 10

Watermelons! Most notable summer time snack. Is it a fruit or a vegetable? Most sources classify it as a fruit because it bears seeds. However, Oklahoma considers the watermelon as their state VEGETABLE.. So cast...

lifedoesntimitate Hmmm... That is interesting. I'd say it's a fruit, because as you said, it has seeds. The seedless watermelon, I believe, is also a fruit because, even though it doesn't have seeds, it doesn't actually exist in nature that way; it's altered to grow without...

Depression and Suicide over Money Issues

lomns98 @lomns98 (110) • United States 14 May 10

today I was all fine when I woke up. I planned to study for finals and I planned to have a good day until I started thinking about money issues and applying for jobs that are so strict with hiring people now. I know I might sound...

7 responses

lifedoesntimitate Okay, it is very concerning that you would use words like "depression" and "suicide" in your title. If these are things you're genuinely thinking about, I would say the mylot discussion board may not be the best place to seek advice. Absolutely come here and...

borg246 @borg246 (539) • Malta 14 May 10

Hey mylotters, Everyone watches movies in their life. Some people, like me, watch much more. In fact, i have watched thousand's of movies right now. I am more like a sci-fi, action sort of fan. I like the appearance of high...

lifedoesntimitate Hmmm... I always have a tough time answering this question, because I have so many favorites for different reasons, you know? Like, for sci-fi, I'd choose "Serenity." It's beautiful, funny, original, and amazing. For comedy, maybe "Noises Off!" The cast is...

"Bad Mouthing" actors "bad-mouthing" their movies

vjenkins86 @vjenkins86 (1478) • United States 13 May 10

Okay, "bad-mouthing" is an exaggeration, but people are already boo-hissing Shia LeBeouf because he was critical of Transformers 2 and promises that Transformers 3 will be better. Personally, I have no problem with an actor...

lifedoesntimitate This is definitely something that I've thought a lot about and, unfortunately, haven't really come up with a conclusion. I started thinking about it recently when Chloe Sevigny criticized the recent season of "Big Love," calling it "awful," I...

lifedoesntimitate Yeah, mylot really is about getting to know more people from different places. It's meant for discussing things and getting to understand other people's opinions and views. And, on top of that, also you can make money. That's certainly a part of it, but not...

lifedoesntimitate I've actually been on TV quite a lot. I used to do background work, so I've worked on tons of shows, like "Joan of Arcadia," "What I Like About You," "House, MD," "My Name is Earl," and lots more. I did extra work for way longer than I should have, probably,...

doing one thing that scares you everyday

lifedoesntimitate I think it's an interesting idea. I tend to be very stuck in my comfort zone, so I don't know that I would excel at trying this out. However, here would be my warning, and what I'd think about if I did decide to try it. Basically, I would warn against...

the first cut's the deepest

allamgirl @allamgirl (2140) • Philippines 13 May 10

i was just listening to this song, and every time i hear this, i can't help but remember my first (and only, actually) major heartbreak. do you really think that the first cut is the deepest? can you still remember the first time...

lifedoesntimitate I would actually disagree, but it's more of a hypothetical disagreeing. By this I mean that yes, the first time I had my heart broken, I was devastated. I was about thirteen or fourteen, she was my first girlfriend, and then her family up and moved to Alaska,...
