> [@Revenant Threshold](#): > > Ok, **Creaky** , how about this; When was the last time you were in an arguement, realised you’d lost, but continued to argue anyway to save face? Actually that basically happened this afternoon. I called my mother to see if I could visit my father and her today. She’d seemed amenable to it when I mentioned it yesterday, so I thought, no problem, I’ll just call and check. So today she was very crabby, and hemmed and hawed and finally I was like, “Look, I only wanted to know if you wanted me to visit today! I mean, I’m only your _daughter_. I didn’t realize making this decision would be so difficult!” She waffled crabbily some more. Finally I just went, “Well, look, I have to go.” And hung up. She called back about five minutes later. Apparently her blood pressure was through the roof today and my father was taking her to the Emergency Room because she felt so bad. Now I really got angry, A., because I felt guilty for snarling at her, and B., because all she had to do was tell me what was \*really \* going on instead of simply being bitchy. I’d have understood her hesitation. My mother is hardly the domestic nurturing type for starters, so I guess I’m already a bit sensitive about the distance she keeps from me. She keeps her personal life private to the point that I never know what the hell is going on with her. Then, if I happen to react inappropriately to something that’s going on in her life but that I had know way of knowing about, she hisses at me for my perceived insensitivity. So. I continued to argue with the poor woman about how she was such a terrible communicator and how all of this could have been avoided if she’d just been honest with me. I felt like such a heel, but I didn’t want to admit it. (Anyhow, my mother called awhile ago. She’s home and fine, so that’s okay. I certainly hope she learned her lesson! :D) ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > What’s the most dishonest you’ve ever been to get a date/get laid/get to know someone? I’m a problematically honest person. On the first two options, nothing. On the third… I don’t think I’ve done anything more dishonest than avoiding topics I suspect might be points of strong disagreement. They tend to come up eventually anyway, of course, but they’re usually less of a problem if you already like eachother. Oh, and I usually try to convince myself, and the rest of the world, that I’m not terrified of social situations with people I would like to get to know better, and that’s certainly untrue :). I’m reasonably good at convincing the rest of the world - me, not so much. > [@Anaamika](#): > > **Sofis** , truth or dare? Dare. > [@Bricker](#): > > Dare.

Creaky: consider answering the same question: What’s your [Indecent Proposal](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0107211/plotsummary) price (a) as the spouse the millionaire wants, and (b) as the spouse _of_ the person the millionaire wants? ---

That’s pretty easy, since I’m not a jealous person and couldn’t be romantically involved with someone who’s jealous. I’ve never understood the conflict in that movie. I’d pretty much want to do it for the experience. So the answer is - as much as I could get in the negotiation. Although I’m a pretty bad negotiator. I figure a cool million would be fine, but they’d probably be able to talk me down. As for if I were the spouse, the answer’s the same, and I’d be kind of jealous that I didn’t get to be the one being wined and dined and… etcetera. ---

> [@Sofis](#): > > What turns you on and and disgusts you at the same time? If nothing, what turns you on that you think _should_ disgust you? If still nothing, at least tell whether the question failed because you’re too innocent or too perverted :). Thinking about anal sex turns me on. Thinking about actually doing it disgusts me. 😛 Truth or dare, **Sofis?**? ---

Titans, dryads, centaurs and other non-humans are also fine, but no humans. > Same as I gave Creaky, but with Norse mythology. This took a while, because I had to look up Norse mythology to see who I was dealing with. All I could remember off hand were Odin, Thor, and Loki. Ok, among the Norse non-gods we have Fenris (a wolf), Jormungandr (a sea serpent), and Hugin and Munin (ravens). Next! Ok, perusing the descriptions of Norse gods, I have to go with [Freyr](http://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/mythology/myths/text/freyr.htm), god of fertility. He’s got a ship in his pocket, a chariot drawn by boars, and after all, gods of fertility are rumored to have, um, stamina. ---

> [@Sofis](#): > > If you had to pick a Greek god to have sex with, then who? Titans, dryads, centaurs and other non-humans are also fine, but no humans. Hades, god of the Underworld, would be a total shoe-in. All that dark, handsome, angsty wickedness…! I’d be happy to be his Persephone. ("…Oh help! I am trapped in the Underworld with this most wicked, handsome, angsty, muscle-y man-creature!" Heh, heh.) Matter of fact, an old boyfriend and I went as Persephone and Hades for Halloween many years ago. I made my toga (easy enough), let down my then-waist-length hair and darkened my oh-so-dramatic eyes with heavy black eyeliner. My boyfriend was really good with leatherwork, and made a whole black leather tunic/harness thingie with lots of stainless steel studs and spikes and rings for himself. He also made me a cool pair of black leather handcuffs and collar attached to themselves and to me with a stainless steel chain. Heavy, yes, but very awesome. We were a hit in South Beach that year. (Especially him.) ---

I’m going to bed now. A warm kitty cat and a steaming cup of Twining’s English Breakfast tea (heavy on the cream and Splenda) are waiting. Think of some more truths for tomorrow if you like. Perhaps I’ll even try a dare! Thanks again, \*\*Idle Thoughts \*\* and all the rest of you, for such a fun thread. ---

My mom loves to tell anyone that when I was a kid, I would like bread and butter sandwiches. It was probably true once or twice at the age of five, but over the years, the tale has grown to the point that she claims that’s all I would have for lunch through high school. (As if she would have allowed that!) Anyway, that’s it.
