Have You Ever Met An Author in Real Life/Been To a Book Signing?

urbangirl @urbangirl (1456) • Australia 22 Jul 07

I have quite a few favourite authors but the only one I ever met when I just happened to be in a bookshop while a signing was happening. It was a great coincidence because I was looking for a children's book for a friend's kid and...

Morganite Yes, I did. It is not so difficult to meet a writer. Every year there is a party in Rotterdam, it's called 'lezersfeest'. There you can meet writers and buy their books, signed or not. www.lezersfeest.nl for more information. If you like to meet writers.

Is Love Really Blind...?

viollet_ry @viollet_ry (968) • Indonesia 16 Jul 07

People always say "Love Is Blind". I am not quite so about it. Do you agree that love is really blind? Tell me your reason.

Morganite I don't think love is blind. It's just that you like a person so much that you are prepared to look at the best things and just hardly notice the lesser side. You aren't blind, you just don't want to pay much attention to it. That's maybe why people can lift...

Morganite There is no way to forget. People forget keys, people forget things that are to terrible to live with, but you never forget the one you love. Cry about your loss untill you don't have any tears left. One day it will stop. The pain fades, but never dies. You...

I am reading "Vroom With A View" by Peter Moore. He is a humourous travel writer and this time his book is about his travels around Italy on a 40 year old Vespa he nicknames Sophia (after Sophia Loren). I picked this book because...

Morganite Winternight by Arnaldur Indridason. He is a writer from Iceland. It's a thriller. I like the sad inspector he is describing with a lot of guiltfeeling. I have read other books written by him. But I must say this one doesn't catch me like I am used to.

Do All Mothers Really Understand Their Daughters?

diannebcrs @diannebcrs (1549) • Philippines 7 Jul 07

I have a mother - a really good and loving one. I feel blessed to have her in my life. But there are times that she doesn't seem to understand me. There's this line she always says whenever she scolds me, "Why do you have to dwell...

Morganite No they don't. They trie, a good mother does, but she often fails. Really understanding other people is confronting. Letting go is very difficult. No mum wants her daughter to suffer. If your mum reacts like she does maybe it's because it worked for her. Maybe...

Do you prefer to read books or have them read to you?

paidreader @paidreader (5143) • United States 24 Jun 07

I love to read books and always have. In the last few years, I have been enjoying books on tape or cd and have to admit that I enjoy having someone else reading to me almost as much as I enjoy reading the books myself. Which do...

Morganite I don't know about India, but I never was a buyer of books, I am a reader. I hate newspapers because your hands get dirty from them, and the news can be read and seen everywhere. But books, I think they stay, always. There is no life without books.

Morganite You really meet the wrong people then. I read every day. I work in a library and I am crazy about books and reading books. But also at my work I do meet people that never read. It is of all times and places.

What do you think are the signs when you can say you already find your soulmate?

maybel13 @maybel13 (205) • Philippines 25 Jun 07

For me, the right signs that you can tell you find your soul mate already are the following: 1. Being strongly attracted to each other physically. 2. Being strongly attracted to each other's personalities. 3. Having common...

Morganite And then he has it al, you have it all, and he is married? He is married for 40 years already. As a real soulmate you respect that to, even if it hurts. Or do you think otherwise? Do you think that your soulmate has to be the one to share your life with? What...

Morganite Hi there, I think friendship with an ex is possible. I do have a few. But it depends on what has happened between the two of you. My first ex-husband is no friend of mine, because he is not a nice man. Things have come between us, to big and not spoken about....

Do anyone play travian here?

i3kevin @i3kevin (19) • Hong Kong 4 Jan 07

http://s1.travian.com It is a really nice and cool browser based MMOG where you can compete with thousand of other players by taking control of a small village and leading your people to glory and victory.

Morganite I play Travian. Since one month. But if you want to be a real big player and you want to go a bit fast it costs you a lot of money. So I have noticed. I am a little impatient, that is true. You best don't go playing on the speedserver. You get addicted. But it...

Morganite Live is what you make it and it is all about luck and coincidence. Astrology doesn't do a thing. It just is, like life. Like a map you can try to read, like dna. It just is. I am a astrologer for 25 years now. I have never ever seen anything happen because of...
