So? You've told me your age and the state of your sex life. Neither of which has a thing to do with who you are and what you can contribute to the vast web of relationships you have with family, friends, coworkers, and other people in your life. Actually, those two facts are probably the least interesting things about you.You want to “flabbergast” me? Don't go around bragging about your age and lack of sexual experience. Tell me what books you read. Tell me what you think about when you are alone. Tell me your inner joys and hidden struggles. Tell me your plans for the future. Tell me how you feel in the silence. Tell me what scares you, what makes you giggle like a small child, what makes you weep, what makes you rejoice. Tell me your thoughts on God, the universe, the weather, that pair of shoes at your favorite store. Show me you are more than the number of months that you have breathed air and the lack of times you have had sex. Then, and only then, will there be the possibility of me being flabbergasted.
9/11, though I saw it on TV. If you restrict it to things that I saw in person, then it would be the 93 bombing of the WTC.
I Believe the Answer to Your Question is “(Neutral),” or “(Both).” [Either/Or]You Can Be ‘Astonished' in Regards to Ones' Brilliance, and/or, You Could Say You Were 'Astonished' at How Gruesome a Crime Scene Was.IMO: The Same Can Be Said, for: ‘Flabbergasted.’ie: “I Was Flabbergasted When I Watched Him/Her Play the Piano,” or “I Was Flabbergasted When I Heard He/She Had an Affair.”I'm Astonished that You'd Ask Me This Question, and I Was Flabbergasted When I Saw How Many Views My Answer Received.
What's the most flabbergasting idea you can imagine that wouldn't entirely surprise you if it happened to turn out to be factual none the less, and why wouldn't it surprise you all that much, considering that it's flabbergasting?This is a flamingo:Or is it?!I’m convinced that flamingos are just a giant conspiracy and that they are, in fact, nothing more than elaborate sock-puppets. Tell me that doesn’t look like a hand in a very detailed sock-puppet?!I’m on to you, conspirators!
What is the essence of virginity?
I don't buy into that whole "viriginity is sacred" and "my body is my temple" crap. I think that's for people who have weird hang ups about sex. I mean, be careful and do what makes you comfortable, but honestly, what's the big deal? It's just sex. Personally I think it's good to have your first time with someone you trust, but it doesn't have to be your soul mate or anything. I don't do casual sex, just because I don't think it sounds enjoyable for me--not because I think it's immoral or whatever. I think sex is only fun with someone that you have a relationship with, but if someone wants to sleep around or give their virginity to a random stranger, I don't care, because that's their decision. And no you wouldn't be a virgin just because you have a new penis.
It would be the most organized event in human history. Every single person? No matter their condition or circumstances?Let’s tone this down a bit. Say every person incapable of jumping has been killed, right? Now, across the world, billions of people coordinate together to all jump off a cliff at 1500 GMT.The bungie jumping overlord aliens are pleased with the result, and grant us massive technological advancements, shooting us into the space age many decades before we ever would naturally.We adapt quickly to this technology that our greatest minds find flabbergasting to behold. Our nature is to be curious and use whatever we can to advance ourselves, and we would do it quite well.Decades pass, and the human race explodes across the galaxy, with everyone racing to claim their own planet within the nearest sectors of space. Soon we encompass 5% of our galaxy, then 10%, and then a full quarter. We have a good relationship with the alien race…for a while. The galactic religion that arises from this phenomena soon controls fully 70% of humanity (this technology is akin to magic or gods). They surreptitiously take over our governments, and call for a purge of the aliens.As the premier killer of anything we don’t understand, we take the aliens by surprise by essentially stabbing them in the proverbial back. A small sector of humans escape with some of the aliens to another galaxy far, far away, to start a new society. They pick up new species along the way. Eventually they start a new society, with peace at their core, but even they could not escape human nature……then again, this all happened once before, a long time ago.
Water.... Let us go through the properties of water and learn through them.....1. Water is transparent: We should keep transparency in every relationship. Whether it is parent-child, husband-wife, friend-friend or any other relationship. More the transparency lacks, more the faith lacks in relations and ralations become fake. 2. Water is soft and cool: Be soft and cool like water so that you can anywhere in life. 3. One cannot reflect in streaming water, only those who know internal peace can give it to others. 4. Water is powerful: Water can wash away dirt, it can put out fire. Water can carve its way through stone. And when trapped it can, water makes a new path.
Best Greek Mythology books for starters?
I think Edith Hamilton's Mythology is still the most popular book for students to get a TON of the basics. However, if you're including Percy Jackson as a children's book, think again my friend! I'm 23 and eagerly awaiting the next one. Hamilton's book, while JAM-PACKED with information, is kind of dry reading. So if you're honestly wanting to read and ENJOY it, I would suggest something like Percy Jackson, the movie Troy, or Oh Brother Where Art Thou, but simultaneously use something like Hamilton's Mythology (or just plain Wikipedia, but watch out for sketchy, non-cited pages) to understand what was there in the original story. Mythology is fun. Stories based on mythology or references in everyday life are great as well. However, no one really likes a text book. Don't ruin your quest for knowledge with punishment, keep it alive and enjoy it!
Is it ok to use a slang word for a college essay topic?
it depends on what the essay is for if it is an English paper and you are writing everything about the word coolio then fine if it is part of an entrance essay it might not be a good idea. edit- the way words become part of the dictionary is the people who compile it decide that it should be and some one will need to write about it. A lot of words did start out as slang- or the meaning may change due to the use of slang. what is important is that your paper is well written- and the only slang you use is coolio.
Am I too formal/sophisticated?
I will be 19 on the 30th of this month, and for my age, I am quite formal and probably more sophisticated then most people my age. I have a tendency to act like the stereotypical gentlemen (equivalent to the role of a British man in the 1800's). My vernacular is extremely formal, and I have a tendency to say "Thank you very much" whenever someone gives a compliment or does something for me. I have been in the habit of doing these things since I was about seven. I often use advanced vocabulary that when used in a conversation, tends to puzzle people. I wasn't raised this way, I simply decided to take the whole concept of manners to a whole nother level. I don't generally approve of swearing, and I tend to carry myself as a distinguished person. I hardly ever laugh at jokes, and I hate when other people exhibit unruly behavior. I'm not exactly a stoic person either, since I prefer to be involved in group conversations. I don't seem to fit in with my friends on a social level, yet we always tend to have a good repour. It's flabbergasting to say the least. Others seem to seek my advice though, and I always have something to say. However I tend to give very long and insightful responses to questions, and as responses. I have noticed that when I put forth effort to contribute to a conversation on any level, I am often interrupted because I have too much to say, and I can always tell that people are tired of listening to me go on and on. I have combatted this by simply adapting to the type of speech that most people in our culture are accustomed to. Even when I do this, I still struggle considerably.
