I like my dreams. I'm thinking of writing some short stories on them. Like the one I had on baby dreams, as mentioned in the Getting To Know You thread. I have some terrifying dreams too though. They aren't even cool terrifying either, just generic terrifying. I either don't remember my dreams, am scared of them or fucking love them.

I don't think you'd be attacked but you don't have to say. It's more likely people would say the chances of the thing you believe aren't strong enough to actively believe in them. The only problems you may encounter are if you said that you'd go to some place where homosexuals or another minority group weren't allowed.

Chris next! I've not seen your name written down I'm afraid. Well technically it's supposed to be Anette receiving the questions but is she going to be around or is she actually leaving?

Post speculation on what may happen after death. These do not have to be serious but they can be. This thread stems from a dream I had at some point within the last year. I will start with my own personal opinion, which I feel is most likely. Personally I feel that the most likely outcome after death would be that there is nothing. There is the analogy some people use that it is like a computer breaking and not working again. I feel that because we are a collection of atoms, these are simply recycled within the universe and return to the earth. Because these atoms never meet together in the same structure again (as that would be impossible given the amount of atoms we are dealing with) there is no chance of us having the same consciousness once more and therefore nothingness follows. For people who struggle to comprehend nothingness (everybody) it is worth bearing in mind that there was nothingness before you were born too, so it would be simply the same as that. I do not personally feel that it is remotely likely that reincarnation is possible. We are all, however, part of the universe and are therefore recycled rather than reincarnated. You'll be as much a part of the universe as you've always been. I did have a dream towards the end of last year which I enjoyed speculating on. I like the varied ideas of what can happen after death and have begun daydreaming about it sometimes (not in a glorifying death kind of way, more thinking of unusual things that may happen). Death being vital to life, it's a big thing and often isn't spoken about much (for obvious reasons). Anyway, in the dream, the person who died entered a new world which was populated by hundreds, thousands or millions of versions of themselves. All of these versions were made up of all the conceived opinions of you throughout your life. So there would be awful versions of you made from random strangers who only saw you when you were passing, maybe doing something you regret (if you were drunk in public, or simply shouting at somebody legitimately but them misinterpreting it). There would be taller/shorter versions of you from people who misjudged your height, angry/insanely placid versions of you. There would be gay versions of you, there might be versions of you as different genders (I was often mistaken as a girl when I was young - only by children, not by adults). And this would be everything that has ever been conceived, not what was believed by people. So if somebody imagined you in a certain light even though they knew you were not like that, say if they imagined you as an animal even, you would be there as that too. Then you'd just spend an infinite amount of time meeting the infinite amount of versions of yourself and trying to find the one closest to you, in your opinion. Anybody else have any theories, sensible or not?

When is it scheduled for release? I may get a vinyl.

I can't help but think that if somebody loved it they either live in a very tolerant society, posses a certain level of evil to get on with such a large group of adolescents (and all the crap that goes with that) or they are just super cool enough to win everyone round. Unless I'm missing another element to my hypothesis.

So who is next? I need a refresh on who has said they want to from the past.

That was awesome. Happy birthday again. And don't leave, just take a break if you need to. It's hard not to make it like half an hour long if you get over twenty questions and some of them are quite complex.

Haha, yeah I didn't ask the poem question. I asked you about creating a super animal and Justin Bieber.

7 minutes 29 in and this is gold.

It wasn't working when I tried. Hadn't tried again so will now. Watching...

You're all lying.

Dreadful time overall. I had plenty of people to hang out with but was bullied occasionally and didn't find anyone I could properly talk to. Everything was very alpha male. Didn't feel too bad whilst I was there, outside of the bullying, but in retrospect I'd never go back.

I'm thinking Flaccid Jazz. I'm still a bit annoyed that I'm not allowed to be confused by weird people on the Internet.

We have a winner.

Also because that's your first post. It's like you're going around message boards desperately seeking someone who wants a drummer. You'd be better doing it with friends.

Which era Bowie are you guys? Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, etc?

What's the problem with YouTube? Is it the length of the video? I had that problem. You basically have to register your account. It gives you instructions on how to do that when it says the upload failed. You follow the instructions from there. If it's not that then I've no idea. And the Vimeo thing isn't working yet.

Bloody good thread if you ask me.

I never have any idea whether what she says is a joke or not so I figured I'd leave it to someone else. Happy Birthday.

Awesome.

I'm excited to see it! And don't worry if you think it's lame. Other people will find it more interesting than you realise. And it's nothing special so you don't have to be the funniest person ever or the coolest etc.

What was your old user name?

Serious stuff. Happy with it. Wonder if there'll be any songs that are close to singles, like 1969.

Wasn't paying much attention. First half was better than second half though.
