    Default POTW is Mollyzmoon!!!! Enter please

    It runs from Sunday to Sunday so when it is your turn to be POTW you will be in the spotlight for a whole week.

    Everyone can ask questions and it is up to the POTW to decide if they would like to answer them. Some questions may be too personal and that is fine - you don't have to answer everything.

    This thread is not an appropriate forum to settle old scores or to flame. Do not bait the POTW with questions that bring up past transgressions. Please spin-off if you feel the need but let's keep this thread fun and supportive.

    On Friday of each week I will PM the current POTW and ask them to choose the next person. The POTW can choose anyone who asked a question on their thread that week and someone, preferably, who has not been chosen in the past year. If you do not wish to be POTW you can still ask questions, just let the current POTW know that you do not want to be chosen for the next week (for instance, you will be out of town).

    Previous POTW:

    Oh man, I am flattered by the attention! It'll be rough to follow the enigmatic Madame Teeth, but I'll try not to bore everyone to death.

    1. My favourite food is my oma's linzetart. I don't know how to spell it...it's also kind of tricky to describe. It's kind of like a pie, but the crust is made of almonds, walnuts, cinnamon, brown sugar...it's thick and bread-like, but also crumbly. The filling is a jam-like sweetstuff...also some liqueur in it I think. It's am-az-ing and probably 3000 calories. So good. If you ever go to Southern Germany you must try it....but still, no one makes it like my grandmother. I know everyone says that, but for real, the woman is a baking genius. If I could, I would buy the world a slice of linzetart.

    2. Hummm...I'm not huge on horror movies, actually. I like suspense and spookiness, but seeing people get eviscerated or hunted down or tortured is not my thing. Also, I have seen shamefully few musicals. I don't know if Dancer in the Dark, that tragic Bjork one, counts as a musical. She did sing a lot, so that's probably my favourite. Honorable mentions go to Moulin Rouge. For spooky movies, I really like The Others. I'm a big Nicole Kidman fan. Also, The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp and the devil lady.

    3. I don't remember the first time I had candy! I was fed many, many sweets as a kid. I do remember my first halloween...I cried because my mom made me wear my snowsuit over my fairy outfit. That totally ruined the effect, obviously. I was so distressed, even as a four year old, to have to go out looking like a dork. I was like "I! don't! CARE if it's cold!". Canadian halloweens can be all snowy and shitty...Back to your question...nah. The best I can do is recall going to the corner store with my babysitter and begging to buy some of those penny candies they put in the paper bag. The little raspberry jellies and the spicy big toes were my favourites.

    If a magic genie came out of a bottle and offered you 3 wishes what would they be?

    Cameron:

    That's tough. I would ask the genie to go away, but I couldn't in good conscience do that, now could I? I am the kind of person who never gambles and never buys a lottery ticket because I would hate to be suddenly under the pressure of so much good fortune. What a test of my values!

    1rst Wish--- For the world to be such that we never invented fossil-fuel burning technology...But no, if I start wishing things to change the past, well I can't just wish away all the genocide and whatever...because my wish can't really be 'for people to be completely different beings'? But no matter, let's just say that my wishing can only impact the present time, and that the genie has no powers to overcome spatiotemporal restrictions. In THAT case I'd wish for an superpowerful alien race to float down tomorrow and demand we stop using gasoline, holding little lasers over everyone's head if necessary. Or better yet, brainwashing us all to forget about gasoline and start using solar power...and then telling us all how to use solar power. No big metaphysical secrets need be revealed, just getting everyone to stop destroying our resources....something like that.

    Wish 2---Let me completely contradict my aforementioned, self-imposed perameters of wishing by asking that people in fact do become different beings. I would wish that every human being stopped using violence to solve problems. I know that's some ripe cheese spread of a wish, but it's not EXACTLY 'world peace'. Like Ghandi's method of conflict resolution instead of the usual routine.

    Wish 3---And finally, I'd wish that I could have Martha Nussbaum and the ghosts of Seneca and Susan Moller Okin as my personal life consultants and mentors (it would be so unfun and eyerolly if I didn't give you one selfish wish).

    Don't you worry for one second about boring us. This thread is already wicked interesting.

    My first few questions are going to be really simple inquisitive-type stuff, because I did not sleep enough last night to come up with anything nuanced, complex or intellectually probing.

    1. Is your SW name supposed to be "Molly'z Moon," Or "Molly Z. Moon?" I have always assumed it was the latter, but it recently occurred to me it might not be.

    2. How many languages do you speak? I know you at least speak French and English. How does that work in Canada, anyway? Are all schools bilingual? What about television? I visited Toronto and Montreal for 10 days when I was about 13, but I was too young to really care about or notice these things.

    3. Where have you traveled, and what were some cool things that you saw? I will not ask you what your favorite place was, because people always ask me that and it's an annoyingly difficult question.

    4. How did you get into doing horse stuff? This probably sounds like a developmentally disabled question, but I grew up in a city and horse stuff is like the furthest thing from my personal experience. You just bought a horse, right? Where does the horse live? How does that work? Do you see him/her every day? Who feeds him/her? Is horse stuff (equestrianism... is that what it's called?) common in your area?

    5. How old are you, and when is your birthday? Do you believe in astrology?
    Drought was over. Where was I? Drinks were on the house.
    For mixers, my love, you'd poured--what?--even the rain.

    Madame Dents,

    1. I pronounce it "Molly Zmoon", but it is open to interpretation. It's meaningless noise, really. I tried to type Molly Bloom, but it was taken. So I put a Z in there, because I lke z noises...and then Moon...Because there's this excellent Canadian film called New Waterford Girl. The hero is kind of like the Cape Breton equivalent of how I imagine someone as talented and individualistic as you might be, and her name is Mooney. She's cool, and Molly Bloom used to seem cool, and the letter Z seemed cool...so that all synthesized into a rather silly sounding name. Voila.

    2. I speak like one and two thirds of languages. My French is weak. Passable, but I wouldn't take a university course in French. I can barely understand Wittgenstein with an English lecture. At my school, they offer courses in English and French, so you can take them in either...if you're not perfectly bilingual, you're somewhat at a disadvantage I guess. But Ottawa U is very atypical that way. I can't get a Masters unless I pass a French test, but for philosophy they always want you like trilingual. So I'm trying to learn more German. My dad and grandparents speak German, but I don't really. I understand basic words and phrases...anyway, that's a goal. My Bavarian cousins put to shame with their cosmopolitan, multi-lingual educations.

    For how it works in Canada...hmm. Quebec is French, the rest of the provinces are English, and there are little pockets of francophone communities in various non-Quebec areas (like New Brunswick Acadians). For me, I lived in Alberta for a while, and while they have to teach French courses in elementary school nation-wide, Albertans don't really care about French (generally). Here in Ottawa, we border on Quebec, plus we're the capital, so we are very bilingual. You can't work as a secretary or a hotdog vendor anywhere near Parliament unless you are perfectly bilingual. Even as a dancer or a Tim Horton's employee, speaking French helps. As soon as I cross the river into Quebec, everything's completely French. There's lots of politics behind the language laws and policies in Canada, with Quebec periodically trying to separate from the rest of the country. For anyone who's not snoring by now, I'll sum up to say it's complicated, but then again, not overly. We do have a national political party who's sole raison d'etre is to break up the country. So what have you...I have francophone relatives and I am totally not trying to crap on Quebec, for any quebecois SWers out there...maybe Scarlett V could explain things better?

    3. I have traveled all across Canada, because my parents are military. I've also been to Hawaii and several USA places (Disney World, Las Vegas, some mountain resort in Virginia) as a kid, because my parents like to vacation a lot. They stopped taking us when we were older, and I just partied here. More recently I've traveled to upstate New York for equestrian competitions (people speak so differently in different parts of the States, but in Canada we more or less sound the same across the board...I don't know why), Las Vegas for strippery fests, Halifax to see my friend, and then Europe last spring.

    Cool things that I saw: Halifax is so cool...the Celtic pubs, smelling the Ocean in the air...I really love visiting my friend there. Munich is amazing...such an incredible city...they have this ginormous, gorgeous park in the middle of the city called the English Garden, and they ride horses around there...we saw people on their way home from work casually put down their briefcases by the creek, peel off their clothes, and sunbathe/ skinny dip...it's different, but somehow so Utopian seeming. Paris, especially Montmartre, Versailles, the endless Ancient Greek/ Roman exhibits in the endless Louvre. I have a picture of me mugging next to a bust made of Seneca during his lifetime!! The redone Globe theatre in London, the Tate Modern...the mountains in Bavaria...visiting a restored village in the Black Forest and seeing how my ancestors lived six hundred years ago (they did such cool stuff like store their dairy over the cold running water of the stream...ingenious). Oh, and ice fishing in Northern Alberta...everything is magically white and icy, like Narnia...you're in the middle of nowhere. And all the Northern lights up there...the green and red curtains going all the way from one horizon to the other.

    4. When I was nine my dad was posted in Alberta and we were still in Ontario. My mom thought I was sad so she let me sign up for riding lessons (I guess I always loved ponies and stuff). Then we moved out west, and there weren't riding schools, but ponies were cheap so my mom bought me one. The thing is, she loved the horsey lifestyle too, and I benefitted. The farmers out there were all friendly and Pony Club was this little community...I don't know, like 4H, but with horses. My parents bought me more horses later on. The one I have now is semi-retired, and my mom got him for me four years ago with the money from selling the other horse. I am looking to buy a young one now to compete, and since he's Captain Crazyhooves, he's nice and cheap (although possibly murderous...I might reconsider and suck it up for a pricier youngster). He lives at a stable about 60km away. What happens is I pay the owner a monthly boarding fee ($650), and my horse gets fed, blanketed, cleaned up after, put outside, etc...I also get lessons and a locker and stuff. Since I'm training a youngster, I go there about six days a week right now (so lots and lots of driving).

    I guess horse stuff is somewhat common around here? I don't know...there have always been horses around where we've lived. There's an equestrian park owned and paid for by the city (taxpayers), and many, many stables, horse shows, etc. We ride in indoor arenas in the winter (some of them heated). It's certainly not uncommon, I guess you could say. There's lots of country space outside of Ottawa...until you get near Montreal or Toronto, it's more of less rural-ish.

    5. I'm 22 and change. June 4th, 1985. I feel pretty immature for my age. I do (shamefully) 'believe' in astrology. It's a guilty pleasure, you could say. Philosophy has taught me just how ridiculous that kind of superrational behaviour is...but I can't help it. Sometimes I look at someone and just absolutely know they are a Scorpio or whatever. And then they ARE, and we're both dumbfounded by the coincidence of my guess. Because I clearly block out all those times my intuitions are wrong. But anyway, I can't help myself. I am definitely a talker, and an exaggerator...superficial, flighty, somewhat depressive at times...all allegedly Geminian traits. My friend is always like "whatever, that's everybody". But still, man. All the same.

    What kind of riding do you do? I kind of had the impression that you were the dressage-ey sort but not sure.

    $650 is EXPENSIVE around here! Like, 2x more I know it's Canadian but still.
    Order Avon through my website!

    Bonbon- Yes, I do dressage. I have done hunter/ jumper and a wee bit of western in the past as well. On the University team I did hunter and some shameful jumping. Also, the Canadian dollar is now equal to the US dollar (and on some days 0.01 cents more! whoo maple pride..heh)...so it's actually the same value. But in different parts of the country it's cheaper. I'm also paying for lessons and an indoor arena, special care like leg wraps, etc. Still, the big shot competitive barns around here cost upwards of $1100+ for full training board. The little, low key ones are probably more like $350.

    High heel lover-

    1. I'm like the owl. I am a violent, impatient candy eater. All of two licks and then I'm biting that fucker in half. Also, it's been years since I've even SEEN a tootsie pop.

    2. a) my cat and his ridiculously cute antics; b) my horse and his ridiculous obsession with sugar cubes...he never even knew about treats before, and now I've created a monster; c) my remedial social skills and my subsequent gaffes (ie- today, unwittingly complaining about the province's premier, which is the equivalent of a governor I think, in front of his nephew...who was polite enough to then say 'Dalton McGuinty is my uncle'...oohhhhohh...heh. At least I didn't say something that might have been far worse...but even in front of him I started laughing at myself)...so yes, I am always behaving in embarrassing ways, and say dumb things, and then in moments of quiet reflection I start to laugh uncontrollably at how little self-awareness I sometimes possess...you know, after feeling shitty about it, it just becomes inexplicably hilarious;
    d) reading or overhearing little ironic whatevers; e) a nice long walk at night and seeing familiar stars

    3. Hmm, I don't know if it's the funniest of all time that I had to clamp up about, but it's a very memorable moment (I am very prone to inappropriate giggling...a nervous reaction or something, but I am very often stifling laughter). So it was a Quine seminar last year, with this very intimidating, extremely intense professor. An awsome guy, but you know, not one to suffer fools or invite to the bar. This one girl, admittedly a strange girl, just gets up, clutching her stomach, and starts to cry. Everyone looks at her in confusion/ distress. She then jogs out of the room in her ridiculous snowboots, and in answer to the prof's question of whether she was alright, she just cried "Ohh, my crammmpppss!". SO FUCKING WEIRD. I mean, it shouldn't have been quite so funny. It was just so bizarre, and she was kind of a crazypants anyway. I think it was just that the level of her distress and disruption broadcasted something like flesh eating bacteria. The spectacle she made of herself happened to be the exact opposite of the standards norms of behaviour in a philosophy lecture. Maybe because of my own social complexes...seeing my worst nightmare? Anyway. Point is, I wanted to roll on the ground laughing, but I had to hold it in, obviously. We all did. The prof only said "ok...", which was a lot for him, since he is usually the very model of objectivity and unaffected distance when it comes to students (he is not one to show favouritism or open disdain for anyone). There's also something so funny about a girl freaking out about menstrual issues in a small class with 75% males. The looks on all their faces...and the strange way they wouldn't look at the other four of us who happened to be women. Like dudes, that has nothing to do with us.

    I am swooning over you even more now that I know you're prone to inappropriate giggling. I am always fighting the urge to cackle like a weirdo.

    1. Sexually speaking, how straight/queer/gay are you? (Um, in case this seems like a loaded question, I apologize. I am not trying to make you uncomfortable.)

    2. When did you start stripping? How did that all happen? I guess I can understand my own circumstances, in which a nerd became a stripper, but other people's nerd ---> stripper stories still always seem super interesting and vaguely unbelivable to me.

    3. How is that thing in your mouth doing? I don't remember exactly what the problem was, I only remember the hilarious picture. Nonetheless, my concern is genuine.

    4. Do you have any siblings?

    5. What do you want to be when you grow up?

    GOOD GOLLY, MISS MOLLY!!! First of all, may I say that I admire the hell out of you, and that I am EXtreMEly surprised you are younger than me??? For some reason I thought you were older. (alright, so I'm only a few months older, but I pegged you as being 24 or so... *pinches cheek and puts on annoying jewish bubbe voice* "you're just so mA-CHE-WAH for your age!") anyway...

    1.) Who in your immediate or extended family do you most admire, and why??

    2.) If you could change something about the public education system as it currently stands, what would that be?

    3.) What sport/activity are you afraid to try?

    4.) What food absolutely disgusts you?

    What do you do to unwind when you've had a bad day?

    Is there anything that you would love to do with your life, but too afraid to try?

    4. Do you have any siblings?

    5. What do you want to be when you grow up?
    1. This is hard to say, because Cally would tell you I am embarrassingly straight. It's true, I pretty much am. But I kissed many a girl in high school. Somehow I was more girly-loving back then, and I don't want to say that has anything to do with all the hormones they put me on when I was 18...but maybe. After taking all these hormone pills so I wouldn't get cysts, I suddenly grew breasts and liked boys more than girls. I don't know. Still, the most honest way to put it is that I do have the odd girl crush. Like four/ five in my life- girls that I really liked the way I liked boys. Three were in high school, and one was two years ago at a club I worked at (maybe two at work, actually). But I'm pretty shy, so nothing really became of it. Thus, 90% straight, 10% ???

    2. I started stripping just after my 20th birthday. I had been thinking about it for over a year before I started though...I think it first got in my head when I heard about a girl from high school doing it, and then a heard about another former classmate who became a shooter girl. I was intrigued. I was working at this farm and at a vet clinic...the hours sucked. Then I became a maid, and the work/ money just sucked. My parents weren't going to pay for my riding anymore. I didn't know what to do...I still don't know how it first entered my consciousness, but once it did it became this weird thought I couldn't get out. Ridiculous, but maybe??? So like a nerd I googled it, found stripperweb, stripper faq, stripclublist.com...read over lots of stuff...pondered it. Then that summer I became so fed up with my parents, my dad's philandering...I was suddenly overcome with my ethical principles of living and their awful hipocrisy (2nd year philosophy has a way of making people disgustingly Kantian). I needed to move out ASAP. The vet job, along with the school...there just wasn't going to be enough money. So I just did it. Bravest thing in my life, almost. All the girls at that first club thought a man or a friend hooked me in. They could scarcely believe this goody-goody, shy, non-smoking, cranberry juice drinking girl would just decide on her own to strip. Maybe it was a little bit of rebellion too. I was always kind of a weirdo.

    3. It's better. I have to get my wisdom teeth ripped out in December though. That thing was the result of my stubborn "I don't need that" five years ago. It was just an infected tooth...but yes, so painful at the time!

    4. I have a brother, five years younger. We look nothing alike, and one day he went from being my little brother to this 6'4" monster boy.

    5. I don't know. Something with very flexible hours. I was at this philosopher's retreat thing this weekend, and this very cool prof was trying to ask me this. I told her 'real estate maybe? or grad school? or horse training?". At the moment I want to go off and study more virtue ethics forever...the prospect of no more school is depressing. But I don't know...my dad's now an academic, and he thinks there's not enough job security. It's a big, annoying question mark on my psyche right now. Maybe I'll just dance to save for farm money, and then run a little hobby farm and study neo-stoicism in the evenings.

    I feel old sometimes, and other times I feel like a baby. At work they usually think I look older, which I try not to be insulted by. I have lived hard, apparently.

    1) My mom. We used to fight, like insanely fight, wake the neighbours fight. But now that I'm a bit older, I see how remarkably generous and selfless she can be. She does so much for us, her family...her friends too. We disagree about lots of stuff and she's not without fault, but I truly admire what she does for other people. She can be self-sacrificing to a fault sometimes. She's also one of the smartest people I know...like a crazy high IQ. I really want her to go on jeopardy but she refuses. For real, she'd kill. I also love that she outranks my dad in the military. Hah. Oh, and she let me read all her books when I was ten, which scandalized the librarian at my elementary school (who thought racy stuff in the Horse Whisperer was inappropriate for a fifth grader...I loved that my mom called her up to ask her to butt out...hee).

    2) Now I'll reveal my extremely apolitical hand. I don't know, really. I went to a Catholic High School...I think I'd request the removal of mandatory religion classes after grade nine. Waste o' time. I decided that Neitzsche was more convincing than Jesus around ninth grade, but even if I hadn't, we could have spent that time learning instead of being preached to about the immorality of abortion. ...I think the English/ history classes could have been less remedial as well. We could have learned a lot more than we did.

    3) Hand gliding. My german uncle was all into it and tried to convince me to try. I watched these people run down a little slope and fly off this mountain top in the Alps. Holy shit. No thank you.

    4) Stroganoff. If I enter my parent's house after they've made it anytime in the last 48 hours, I gag. Also I hate onions. And donuts.

    I really appreciate a good movie or show. An old episode of Dexter, Mad Men, The Office, or an old favourite film. And then a nice blanket on the couch and the warmest clothes I have. I also really like going for very long solitary walks, especially at dusk.

    Something I'd like to do is travel more, by myself. I dream about working at some remote farm in Germany for six months, but it's scary to go off alone. I might still do something like that. My problem is I get very homesick when I travel...an actual sick feeling, weird little waves through my stomach, my elbows and knees get weak and heavy. Since I was very young. But I still love seeing stuff, so someday I just might take off.

    A dead one, or an alive one? Probably not. I have a weak stomach for that kind of thing. In any situation where that would be my only option, I'd probably crumble in despair and try to fall asleep forever. Then again, I surprise myself sometimes with my tenacity for life. It's hard to speculate what one will do when faced with such extreme situations. Still, I'm not much of a hero. I'm the one in the movie who collapses and insists the rest go on without me.

    I think a limbo-ed at a new year's eve party two years ago. Not sure. Conga line...not since high school...when I was fifteen maybe? When I get very very drunk I am wont to start my own personal party space of existence, but it rarely involves organized activity with others. Except for dancing, obviously.

    Go! I can't encourage you enough. Maybe go for a month if it seems scary. Solo travel is awesome!!

    1. What is the last thing you cried about?

    2. What did you learn about yourself in the last year?

    3. Do you believe in fate/destiny/everything happens for a reason? Why or why not?

    Samba-

    1. I am a big time crybaby, but only when I'm all alone. I rarely cry in front of others, even at tragic events or funerals. I hope it's not indicative of some coldness of character, but I am more likely to cry at tv or movies than at actual, real life, sad news. I think real life tragedy makes me very sombre sad, stillness sad, whereas fictional tragedy makes me bust out crying (not as a rule, but sometimes). So the last time I cried was last night watching an episode of Dexter...Michael C. Hall is just too good of an actor...this sociopath who suddenly realized he has the capacity to care for people...just a gut-wrenching monologue, and I was so happy for him. Silly and not a huge bawlfest, but it certainly made me misty-eyed. The last time I cried all out, sobbing, for real was two weeks ago when the horse threw me off. I didn't cry at the time, but while I was driving home I got really upset and sad...I think I felt like I failed him by pushing him too hard, or I was a failure as a trainer, or else I was overcome with the emotion of having very nearly broken my neck...something or other.

    2. I think I learned a lot about myself in the last year. I learned that I can't do everything on my own, and that emotional problems are not something that can be tucked away and ignored. I learned that I can't let people negotiate with my boundaries of comfort, even if those boundaries seem absurd. I learned how immensely important my relationship with my family is...something I may have taken for granted in the past. In a nutshell, I softened my edges a little to let myself get back to life...because the alternative was a damp, pointless, nihilistic hole in the ground (in other words, Wellbutrin does not make me a weak person).

    3. I believe to a certain extent a loose form of determinism...not a mystical 'things happen for a reason', because there is never any good reason for the horrors some people face on Earth. None whatsoever. But those horrible things, as well as all the good things, are a result of previous actions...I don't think we can ever underestimate the powers of past to control and guide the future. We are products of our environment and our cultural traditions...yet I am not one to go so far as to say we lack free will. I think some people have it much harder than others, and some unfortunate souls are born with the cards stacked against them...but we all have some agency over the choices we make. I know psychologists say people always think they will behave much better than they actually will, but there are always some people in those behavioural experiments who don't succumb to torturing other people because some guy in a lab coat told them to. That is so remarkably vague, but hopefully you sort of get the picture.

    Bonbon- I don't know, I just like crows. To again show my sick Nicole Kidman crush, I should say the picture reminded me of her line in The Human Stain: "I'm thinking I'm a crow." Such an underrated movie. All those Kidman bashers in the world, y'all just jellus.

    Cally- Really girl, I was so undeserving of roomate-dom with someone as sexified and hotty-tastic as yourself.

    Army- I think no matter what, I'm going to be reading philosophy and other stuff for the rest of my life. It's just so interesting and it's the only thing that feeds the bottomless hole in my head. I get so anxious because of all my uncertainty about things. I can't help but read, read, read what other clever people have deduced/ intuited about the nature of existence. That said, an academic career is about all I could hope for if I continued with graduate school (philosophy leads to little else)...I don't know if I'm good enough for that. It seems to me that it's crazy competitive, and then again, if it's all I want to do...I'm going to apply to Masters programs next fall, and maybe my mind will be more made up by then. I may just be a horsey person by day, and bookworm by night. Just have to figure out how to feed myself I suppose. It really is not an exaggeration that most philosophy PhD programs require multilingual talents. I'll probably seriously have to work on that before continuing on. This one prof I adore...she speaks ten fucking languages. I am way behind the curve.
