I think I recall having seen a similar question here recently, and my response is the same.
Fly...
By my own power, with my own wings.
~RedFeather~
Flight. I want wings and feathers. Hell, I want to be a bird. Why? Because I love birds, and one of the most awe-inspiring things about them is their ability to soar.

I'm not so sure I'd want to trust a place where there had been a brutal murder, but then... I guess I'd just have to take a tour (and be able to take as long as I wanted) and get a feel for the place myself. (I'm sensitive.) Negative energies can be cleared. Rent-free? Again, it would depend.
As to ghosts, it really depends on who it is. In the past year, I've gone to several haunted places. I can definitely feel them. Some are fine - for instance, I had one following me around in this one place - but I'd read her history, and I could sense that she meant no harm. I didn't feel anything there that was outright negative - in fact, I really liked that building and was attracted to it. Then, there's the one at my job. I don't know anything about him, and even though he likes to cause mischief with the machinery and people joke about him being there, he doesn't make himself too obvious. Recently, though, there was a coworker of mine who was having a really bad week and the machines started messing up on her (he picks on some people more with the machinery than others - she is one of his favorites). I asked him to be nice to her because she was having a really bad week, and the bosses were mistreating her. Mysteriously, the machines behaved for the most part, after that. No problem. Most of the ghosts I've experienced haven't felt horribly negative, though there certainly have been a few.
The angry ones, the ones that are obviously very upset over something - I'd question living in a place with a ghost like that if it were someone who would mess with the overall energy of the place and make me feel uneasy. I don't believe ghosts generally go around hurting people, but I still wouldn't want to live somewhere where my "roommate" was always angry, ghost or not.
So, again, basically, it really depends on the place and how it feels to me - I'd have to tour it. If it was somewhere that felt blatantly negative, then no, I probably wouldn't be willing to live there. If it felt neutral or okay, then sure. Although I admit, I'm sure living with a ghost would take some getting used to.
Oh, and one little thing. They'd have to be willing to give me the common courtesy of privacy whenever I needed it. XD

Let's see here. Every day, I wake up at about five in the morning, and often I'll lay in bed for another 10-15 minutes trying to gather my bearings before getting ready for work. I go get dressed, down a protein shake and granola bar on my way to work (when it's still dark most days and I'm still practically a zombie). I go into work, trying to rush in at the last minute, and I spend the rest of the day doing my job and trying like hell to avoid my evil bosses and their very unpredictable mood swings. And abuse, harassment and being discriminated against - I try to avoid that, too. I work a ten-hour day, and I go home exhausted.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Three more times.
Then, I have a three-day weekend. I think (and hope) that you have figured out by now that even though I don't have much to do on the weekends, I highly look forward to the three days of freedom and the knowledge that I won't be abused in any way for those three days. Weekends = heaven.
And no, I never want to go back to work on Monday. Not with my job. If I worked at MRCC where I volunteer, then I'd want to go back in after my days off. But not in this job.

Many countries require all citizens to fulfill a mandatory period of service in the armed forces. Do you agree or disagree with this policy? Do you think the current recruitment system creates or sustains socioeconomic inequality? Submitted By |
I'm totally against it. It should be a person's freedom to decide whether that is something that would be right for them or not. Also, there are probably many like me who would object to being put in the military. It's not something people should have to do.
Sounds like political malarkey to me.

Basically, this dying person was not allowed to see her family simply because she was a lesbian.
Personally, if you're religious and feel that being gay is a sin - can't you realize that it's probably even more of a sin to be so cruel to that person and her family? Goddamn hypocrites.

Not really. I care deeply about the environment, wildlife and conservation, but I'm not here to preach at anyone.
Yes, I will post my personal thoughts and opinions (and actions) about stuff in my LiveJournal, when I feel like it. But I'm not going to stand on a pulpit and preach the Religion of Environmentalism and demand that everyone get up and start doing this, or that. It's up to them. I'm not into preaching or otherwise harassing people to think the way I do. Doing such is not going to change a thing. It'll just make people pissed off at you.
That said, I feel that those who might be persuaded might be persuaded through other things than random blog postings, which may at times seem rather preachy. Preaching is a huge turn-off.

Yes, I believe in soulmates, and I believe I've found mine in the man I married. (He may also be a twin flame, but I don't know.) We are so much alike, it's uncanny. We think the same way, say the same things at the same times, and are passionate about the same things. Yet we are both unique individuals with our own personalities. No, I'm not at all worried that "the one" got away.
Here is how thefreedictionary.com defines soulmate:
soulmate or soul mate (slmt)
n.
One of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity.
This question almost seems to imply that there is only one soulmate for a person in life, and that a soulmate relationship has to involve a romantic relationship. It does not. A soulmate can be a really close friend, a mentor or teacher, or a myriad of other people. In my personal opinion, a soulmate helps you through life, encourages you to move on, and aids in you making realizations about yourself (whether they intend to or not). Also, throughout life, one is able to know many different soulmates, depending on what part of one's life they are going through. We're not just limited to one soulmate per lifetime.
Perhaps the Writer's Block question is asking more about twin flames, which are a type of soulmate. Twin flames are thought to be the other half of one's soul in another person. Even then, that doesn't necessarily imply a romantic relationship. It just implies a close one, if the two happen to meet in life.
Okay, so LiveJournal, in asking me about my personal opinions about soulmates, you have certainly gotten them. And perhaps you've gotten a bit of an education, too. Or not. XD

Am I a masochist? Hell, no. Because of my abusive and highly unpredictable bosses, I cannot say that I am happy at my job. Quite the opposite, actually. I am powerless to do anything, except for doing what I keep on doing - looking for a new job.
There's such a thing as a dream job. One, I prefer to be somewhat optimistic and Two, as long as people can dream and imagine, there will be dream jobs. The actual question is whether or not that dream every becomes a reality. My dream job, getting paid to work at the raptor rehabilitation center I volunteer at.
Five or ten years from now? Hopefully, either a medical transcriptionist or a vet's assistant. I've taken a course for the second, and am currently taking a course for the first.

Question 1 - Yes, but I don't believe in every horoscope I see. Most of them seem to be utter crock, or just someone's wild guess on what your day/week/month will be like. I have, at times, though, known of people who seem to know what they're doing and who perform very exact astrological readings, and the very few times I've either seen or known of this, they seem to be very detailed, and very accurate about those details.
Question 2 - Very rarely do I check my horoscope, and I'd say it really doesn't impact my life. I do my own card readings over checking what some person I don't even know online or in the newspaper has to say about me.
Question 3 - I don't recall anyone ever having made assumptions about me based on my sign, but if that happened, yes, I would be more than a little irked. Regardless of sign, people are different. Even if certain signs can show certain traits, it does not mean that everyone in that sign has all of those traits, all the time, or that they can't have other traits. Making assumptions about people you have no real knowledge about is wrong, regardless.

I'm answering this simply because I don't see enough people on my side.
CAMPING!!! <3 Who cares about the gnats? That's what insect repellant is for. I have such a love for the trees and the dirt, the birds and the nature. It is so much more real to me.
Don't get me wrong. I would definitely stay in a fancy hotel if given the chance. But all in all, I prefer camping. It's something I do a hell of a lot more often.
A good point about camping. It's lots of fun, and you don't have to pay a lot of money do do so.

My first answer was a resounding "NO!," because I dislike reality shows. At least if you're going to have them, don't call them reality, because THEY AREN'T REAL!!!
On second thought, though - I thought maybe I could, if paid a bajillion dollars, go on American Idol. Yes, the show is ridiculous. Why would I want to be on it? So I could be the next William Hung. I think it's awesome how that guy went on there with no talent, got insulted by the judges, and ended up having a cult following. XD The best kind of stuff.
Why would I do that? Because 1) I would be made rich (I'd only do it for tons of money) and 2) It would be fun.
All other ideas of being on reality shows can GTFO.
I need to get some actual LJ content besides these things and work, though. XD

Gossip is horrible, a way of using childish, junior high school tactics to bully someone. I abhor it, as I fully recognize that it's not my job to poke my nose in and say stuff. Gossip is harmful, as it is mostly very negative, and gets people believing lies about each other.
Whoever thought of this question is an idiot who needs to re-evaluate why they even asked this question in the first place.
I shouldn't have responded. But, things of this nature are things I feel very strongly about. But, I leave you with that. Tootles!
PS - By the way, as to the question of whether I repeat it, the answer is that I do not. I tend to scoff at it inwardly and be along my merry way.

I do believe people are psychic. I believe I'm mildly psychic. But I also believe that a great majority of the people who say they are psychic are not - many are just trying to make a quick buck. So if it was just some random online psychic, no. Of course, I don't party, anyway. :P
As to the dating question - this is presuming that I never met my husband, and that we're not married, of course. XD No, I wouldn't refuse because of an astrological sign. That's not giving the person a chance at all. If I saw some other reason why I felt it wouldn't work out, sure, I'd refuse. But if the person seemed nice and decent, I certainly wouldn't refuse the offer just because of their astrological sign. Regardless of sign, all people are different. It's like saying you won't date someone because their shoes aren't your style. :P
I'd be much more likely to read my own cards than to trust some person I don't even know.
Yet another silly Writer's Block question. XD
~RedFeather~
If there is some way to get it to the person who lost it, then I'd definitely turn it in, or return it to the owner. Only an asshole wouldn't. :P If, however, it was found in say, a park or something and no one was there and there was no one I could return it to, then yeah, I'd probably keep it.
It's kind of sad how many people wouldn't return it though, judging from people's answers. That's a lot of money, not like finding two bucks or something. Someone might need that.
I am also a believer in karma so... yeah.

I go to other places to get things I need - for instance, I will often make a point of going to the poor K-Mart (which is next door to our super Wal-Mart - shocking, no?), to find clothes (among other places), hair products, etc. That poor K-Mart has pretty much been sucked dry by Wal-Mart, which is an example of why I hate Wal-Mart. They suck everyone else dry. That, and I've heard they treat their employees like crap. So, I won't shop there. I just hate those hugely powerful corporations that take over everything, in general. I won't eat at McDonald's. I try to avoid fast food in general, though I don't boycott that as strictly as I do Wal-Mart (I won't go to most fast-food places, though I will eat at Arby's, Subway and Quizno's on occasion - along with smaller, more local companies).
Cell phones. Okay, well not quite. More like, using cell phones unwisely. :) I admit, they can be useful.
Factory-farmed meat. Non-cage-free eggs. Pesticide-covered veggies. (Sound tasty?) XD
Products that test on animals.
Pesticides. As someone who works with birds of prey and who has seen what poisons can do to wildlife, no thanks.
