A desk.

Sorry if you were typing on your laptop on a bearskin rug there ;)

Because I'm a meanie I added the Raven line as homage to Alice in Wonderland's riddle:

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Which insinuates there is something in common with both a raven and a desk, even if it is an unanswerable riddle :p

Was hoping someone would make the connection there though. But that's what I get for trying to come up with my own riddles...

I say have another go. Give me more time to think up a more logical riddle o_0

I actually am using a dresser to put my computer on, and I haven't seen anything Alice in Wonderland related except for Kingdom Hearts (which I'm actually playing right now, hence by previous riddle) since I was, I don't know, 5 or 6.

Okay, here's one.

It is filled with everything, and yet at the same time filled with nothing.
We know a lot about it, yet we know so little at the same time.
So much of it seems so chaotic, yet there is an order to it.

What is it?

Eh, I was looking for "the universe" but that's pretty much the same thing.

Okay... Got any more riddles?

Too easy! I need to get out so I'm not making riddles about things I'm seeing right in front of me ;)

You know, you nearly stumped me. I didn't even notice you weren't capitalizing words until I thought about it for a while.

I'll go with one I think should be easy:

It is the realm of sadists, altruists, geniuses, and fools.
Anarchy reigns there, but sometimes there are rules enforced with an iron fist.
Much joy may be found there, but also endless hatred.
Beings like Gods reign there, but they are no better than the ones over which they rule.

What is it?

I'd go with the mind, or perhaps the imagination.

Other fits would be something like morality or faith.

Actually, just "forums" in general is what I was going for, but good job. I figured that would be easy enough considering we are there.

I thought I'd be more specific. I knew what you meant ;)

This one at least is not something that's not in front of me for once.

I am what I am, when I'm in my prime.
I'm not what I am, at an earlier time.
Hated by poets, loved by seamen.
Produced by nature, picked by yeomen.

I doubt this is it, but the only thing that comes to mind is oranges for some reason.

And orange is absolutely right. Your subconscious is telling you things...

Typical. If I'm not making riddles about things right in front of me. It's about food.

Wow, I was just going with a complete shot in the dark. BTW, when you respond to me can you please quote me so I know you've done it without having to check this thread regularly?

Let's see...

White picket fences and apple pie,
but without this the picture doth lie.
We constantly get rid of it, but seek to keep it around,
it fills the neighborhood with an unbearable sound.

What is it?

I suck at rhyming.

Heh, I swear I read it wrong. My reading was that you do eventually want to get rid of your children by allowing them to leave the nest as it were.

Next guess would be serenity

Serenity fills the neighborhood with an unbearable sound? Nope.

Okay, one more guess.
