I think i'll ask my orgers this after all

this is for US org people:

TWO questions:
1. Are U generally optimistic or a pessimist?
(don't worry about being ridiculed...be honest.
there ain't no shame in being either!)

2.what prince song or songs means the most to U?
(which ones U relate to as a person?)


i'll say: i'm generally optimistic (i'm a realist...
but since that's wasn't the question! i'll say i'm
a "opti")

answer to my second question:

i'll name these two for now:
1.17 days (i've been through what p described in this
classic...more than a few times. what a great tune!)

2.silly game: (ahhh i can really relate to this one
too...)

hands, how come you only like them three early albums and not the rest of Prince's back catalogue? more to the point, why do you visit the Org if you are only into music from 20 years ago?
just wondering.

1. A pessimist is one who has been intimately acquainted with an optimist

Since realist is not an option, I'll choose pessimist.

The songs that mean the most:
Joy In Repetition-my favorite of all time
Annastesia-I felt like that song was written about me
Still Would Stand All Time-for anyone who ever felt they were at the end of their rope
And God Created Woman-my song for my soulmate, my best friend Ron

1) click on my profile

2) scroll down

3) read what i have on "favorite albums"

4) i'm a frickin enthusiast of the brotha, ain't nobody gotta be "obsessed" or "hardcore" to be here, ain't nobody gotta be into everysinglefuckingthing prince has ever done to love his work. and if you think i'm gettin pissy at you, milty, i'm not. those types of questions miff the hell outta me as it is.

have i answered your questions? neutral

1. Reasonably optimistic! batting eyes
2. Many songs have meant a lot to me in different ways, but "Let's Go Crazy" is one of my theme songs, I've been absorbed in "Empty Room", and there's just something about "Joy in Repetition" that I totally love. love

handclaps...the entire dirty mind album?

has a ton of thangs (emotions) in it.

from d-mind in my bad boy mode i definitely relate to
the title song. yes that side of me has a dirty mind!

ladies) U guys always tell the truth!)
so U ain't no pessimist!

milty,"flawed for us GEMs is a negative term!
i'll say we is cursed...but in an interesting way!

fighting a war with 2 personalities (i think i have 3)
ain't dull.

i can relate to prince's complex personality real well...
although i ain't as "OUT there" as he is.

but he's what he is cuz he's "cursed"!

I'm not from the U.S. either, but I decided to regard it as a misprint batting eyes and answered anyway.

Edited to say that I think youngca meant "us", not "U.S." I think it's an org-thing, to write it that way. hmmm

This is not acceptable. You must complete the following list by 5 p.m. CST or you will not be allowed to participate here ever again.

1. Buy the entire Prince and Prince protege catalog from For You through NEWS. This includes all one-off singles (i.e. The War, Gett Off, Supercute, etc)

2. Stock your entire house with Grape Kool-Aid. Why? Because it's the right thing to do...and a tasty way to do it.

3. Replace every single pair of Chuck's you own with a different color pair of high-heel pumps.

4. Be no taller than 5'4"

5. Purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. You don't live that far so I don't want to hear any excuses.

6. Subscribe to The Watchtower, immediately

7. Start typing with Princebonics.

8. Know what the Theocratic Order is. Even if it doesn't make sense, give a logical explanation of what you think it is. (i.e. The number of Theodores in history: Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Huxtable...you get the idea)

I will check back on you at 5 to see how well you are coming along. If you have not completed these tasks, your pink slip will be waiting for you. Until then, may U live 2 see the dawn!
