MaryTheIceCube Yes, I am able to play games and surf the web when I am not busy at work. I try to do it only when I have no work to get done, but sometimes I find it hard to take myself away from the fun things in order to get the work things done. However, I don't wish to...

MaryTheIceCube I've never been hypnotized, but I think it could have many benefits, like peacemaker said. I've read a little on it, as I'm curious about the human mind, how it works, what makes it tick, etc. I think I might like to be hypnotized someday. I also would like to...

How do you view Home Cooking???

chulce @chulce (1537) • United States 12 May 10

Okay, I got to thinking about it the other day, I was chatting with my father who loves to cook, however, I had asked him what was for dinner, he said a really good home cooked meal, well when he told me, it was hamburger helper....

MaryTheIceCube I really don't consider Hamburger Helper to be "home cooking". Sure, there's some prep involved, but it's nothing like doing things from scratch! My fiance loves to cook. He does most everything from scratch, rarely uses boxes and cans. He makes homemade...

MaryTheIceCube Why would anyone want to exclude another family member from a family reunion, or single them out as a 'guest' rather than an actual family member? I don't really understand that! No matter what, you're blood relatives with these people. They really ought to...

Do you like to listen?

parad02x @parad02x (13) • Denmark 12 May 10

I myself like to listen, and by the same time learn form others' mistakes. But I'm wandering when I'll start to speak? Because I'm not such a talkative person. What about you?

MaryTheIceCube I like listening more so than talking. I've been this way for as long as I can remember. Lately, now that I have more confidence in myself, I seem to have more to say. However, it wasn't always like that, and most of the time I still prefer to listen rather...

MaryTheIceCube It depends on the day. Music videos, bass guitar lessons, tutorials and cover songs, tutorials on anything about which I wish to learn more. I use YouTube mostly as a learning tool. There are instructions and tutorials on almost anything you can think of!

MaryTheIceCube All the time! I really can't remember the last time I felt truly refreshed when I have to get up in the mornings. Always feeling tired, especially in the afternoon. I wish I could find something, or some way, to get a really refreshing, restful night's sleep!...

MaryTheIceCube Yes, I am privileged to be able to listen to music at my desk job, which gets rather mundane at times. It's nice to be able to pass the time by listening to whichever music catches me at the moment. I also listen to (and play) music at home as often as...

MaryTheIceCube I play the bass guitar and I used to play the clarinet. I keep thinking I should get my clarinet back out again. I really did enjoy playing it. I'm also beginning to learn the world of synthesizers and music creation via Ableton Live. :)

What is good exercise music that you listen to?

eddyspaghetti @eddyspaghetti (1225) • United States 10 May 10

My friend recommended Linkin Park to me. Also when I used to work at a gym I would just play any hip hop songs and I would occasionally sneak in an R&B song, not to the liking of most customers. So, what is your choice of music...

MaryTheIceCube I've found that The Prodigy and Cynic are two great bands for exercising to, for myself personally anyway. I agree with others who say that up-beat, up-tempo songs are more motivating when exercising than slower ones.

MaryTheIceCube I tell my partner multiple times a day "I love you". It's most definitely not just out of habit either. It's just that it's true love and every time I look at him, I can't help but utter the words "I love you". I know, this sounds overly sappy, but I can't...

MaryTheIceCube My fiancé makes homemade bread for us quite often. We both love being in the kitchen. I love making banana bread, zucchini bread, breads of that sort. Our general rule is he cooks, I bake. But, he does make really very good homemade bread.
