At some point, everyone has thought about what they would have for a superpower, no matter the context or cause. What are the practical downsides that would go along with yours?

long skirts with baggy plaid shirts and boots...homeless girl? One that never sees sun, judging by my stubbornly pale skin :) maybe an art geek. but I mostly get creative homeless comments. it's all part of some cleverly constructed ruse.

hey now. I would be. Although appearance is what you first see and base general observations off of, I would be more attracted to a guy who wasn't considered attractive if he went out of his way to act like a gentleman towards me. It shows interest, kindness, good manners -- chivalry is less...

I would defend Portal and Psychonauts to the bitter end. That being said, I should never have to, because they're too wonderful to warrant criticism :)

1. I prefer not to, with anyone. It's really just a privacy thing, and I wouldn't be able to sleep if someone was that close to me. it'd make me too nervous. Not that I think that they would try anything, it's just my own issues with personal space. For 2 and 3, I really can't add anything...

creepy circus music might not be your thing, but I love these guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlbJyPf5EG0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-dlJekbXYo

Well, it does depend on the way you measure intelligence. My IQ is in the 98th percentile, and I'm close to the top in my class. On the other hand, I'm an emotional klutz, can't read sheet music for an instrument I've been playing for seven years, have enormous trouble interpreting maps, and...

I play my own (female) gender in WoW just because I'd have trouble projecting onto a male character, as well as because the male cast in the game tend to be HUGE and I can't imagine my priest or rogue being that tall. Trouble is, I generally assume people are their avatar's gender, and it makes...

this is exactly true. for example, Gretchen is one of my favorite names, but no one here seems to like it. It makes me think of the girl in Donnie Darko, a lovely character. Also, your icon makes me smile. Dresden Dolls ftw! :)

these aren't specific people -- I was just really curious as to what specific people have in mind when they hear certain names :) thanks!

you can answer for all or some. just say what the first image of a person would be if you were told their name but not given any other information. Lily Gretchen Ellen Veronica Fatima Cecilia Alice Mira what are your favorite names? (they don't have to be one of those above)

someone once asked about my gender in WOW, and he started..er....flirting. but considering that I was being an intentional creeper first, he just felt the need to out-do me in that respect, and did a pretty phenomenal job of it. I would expect anyone else to do the same. try to bother someone...

did you eventually get past it, even with the glitch, or should I give up now and save myself the frustration?

I got to the final level of the (PC version) psychonauts, and can't get past the rotating fire-grates of eternal exasperation. YAR. For some reason, 99% of the time, Raz won't double-jump. I've never had this problem anywhere else in the game, and usually the controls respond perfectly well...
