Getting to know you . . .

[Finey_McFine]

I love both together, but if I had to choose...pancakes, I guess?

What is your favorite sport?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Not a big fan of sports, but I do love to watch gymnastics.

What is the best trip you've ever taken?

[Finey_McFine]

That's an easy one...in 2007 we went on a Rosie O'Donnell R Family Vacations cruise to the Caribbean. BEST. VACATION. EVER.

If you could visit any one place on earth, where would you go?

[fhiwda]

I don't like bacon...I would rather have sausage and eggs...or waffles. haha.

What's your favorite kind of cheese?

[Laragh]

Finey_McFine: You know, I travelled a whole bunch when I was a kid with my mother's job and it made me a real home bird, but in saying that, I would like to see more of Asia, I've only seen it for day trips en route to Australia.

fhiwda: Wensleydale with cranberries

What's your typical Starbucks(/insert name of local coffee shop here) coffee order?

[Finey_McFine]

A tall peppermint mocha frapucchino double blended...I'm not a fan of hot coffee or coffee in general. This is about the only thing I drink, I'm a hot/iced tea type of girl:)

What is your current favorite guilty pleasure?

[Ariel]

role playing - it really is just being a grown-up and "playing pretend" with another 'kid' and it's totally fun! Doing W/T right now, yay!

If you could give everyone in the world 1 thing (talent/quality/etc.) what would it be?

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

[fhiwda]

World peace? haha...but seriously. I would probably try to give everyone compassion.

If you could have any kind of exotic animal as a pet, what would it be?

[Finey_McFine]

As a kid growing up in South Florida, I was OBSESSED with Flipper! So, I would love to own a Dolphin!

Favorite current TV show?

[Foomatic]

I've really been sucked into "The Walking Dead," even though I haven't seen the first season.

As detailed as possible, describe what you had for lunch today.

[fhiwda]

First I enjoyed some cheese that was breaded and fried...also known as mozzarella sticks. I dipped them in some marinara sauce. I also enjoy roast beef with cheese on a seseme sead bun. This is also known as an Arby's melt. While I was enjoying my food, I was washing it down with a wonderful milk/coffee beverage also known as a Jamoca Shake. Then I slipped on the ice trying to walk back into work and laughed so hard I nearly puked it back up. Over all...I would say it was a successful lunch break.


Why is Gold more Valuable than Silver? I think silver looks nicer...cleaner even.

[Finey_McFine]

I believe it's because silver is abundant and it's easy to find, therefore making it less valuable than gold. Just an UNeducated guess, lol.

What question do you hate getting asked the most?

[fhiwda]

The question I hate being asked the most comes from my work place. "Are you married, dating, or anything?" Why is it so important that I be in a relationship. Everyone else seems more interested who I might be associated with rather than who I actually am.



What is your biggest pet peeve?

[Ariel]

Biggest pet peeve? People who can only talk and not listen. I love conversation, the give and take, the building on and supporting each other's thoughts. Arguments even, but conversation as an interaction not a monologue. Second choice? Boring meetings!

What is the best thing about your personality?

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

[Foomatic]

I'd like to think that I have a pretty witty sense of humor.

Let's make it interesting: When was the last time you partook in some self lovin'?

[gorn]

I've never known Kittens to be so shy ...

This morning, Foo, and I ain't afraid to say it.

Let's kick it up a notch - when was the last time you partook in some self-lovin' ... with someone else?

[T.G.I.F.]

I think people are afraid to answer this? What's the fuss? It was over a year ago.

Do you have a self made up opening line? If yes, what is it and have you ever used it?

[Ariel]

So the truth . . I can do theater and make an utter fool out of myself in front of an audience but I'm shy at parties. So, I used to melt into the woodwork, then I got braver. My line is something like, "You can tell me. Do I look as awkward as I feel?" Most people laugh because lots of other people have shyness issues, too. Almost any answer is an ice-breaker, and no one has ever been truly vicious. I also look for people who seem nice as well as interesting.

What's the most physically daring thing you've ever done?

Ariel

[RainbowNerdette]

I've recently ran a 10 mile race virtually untrained. (dunno if that was my MOST daring thing, but if not, it's probably close to it.)

No wait, scratch that, I've let my sister pierce my belly button as the first human subject during her training as a piercer, does that count as physically daring?

What is the craziest thing you've ever eaten?

[faolan228]

Oh wow. Chicken fetus, jellied blood, bull testes, pig rectum, sheep's head, and many more.

What's the strangest thing you've ever stumbled across?

[Laragh]

This

What is your favourite food to gorge on when you're having one of those days?

[T.G.I.F.]

Chicken wings. It might sound weird, but when I'm feeling like the world is coming to an end. Which is like what, once a month? I get a bucket of chicken wings, settle myself on the couch with a blanket in front of my tv and I shamelessly watch movies like 'The Holiday'. Accompanied by the chicken bunch.

When was the last time you went out to dinner? Where did you go? What did you eat? And who was in your company?

[Foomatic]

We went out to eat last Friday at a Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurant in Berkeley. For those not familiar with Shabu Shabu, it's basically a hot pot of broth at the center of the table, and you are brought vegetables and a variety of meats to cook yourself at the table. This place is great because it's all you can eat (we love the beef!) and you have the option of adding unlimited Japanese appetizers, unlimited sushi, or both. We usually go with the unlimited apps (yakitori, baked mussels, tempura, edamame). Total gut busting gluttony, but it's so yummy! My folks were in town, so it was nice to have a big family dinner with them and my siblings.

You win a seven day, all expense paid trip to anywhere in the world. Where would you go and what would you do?

[JustSkipIt]

You win a seven day, all expense paid trip to anywhere in the world. Where would you go and what would you do?

Stupid as it sounds I would probably go visit my sister in Denver because we haven't been there to visit in over 8 years. I would love to have a week for the kids to get to know each other and there are tons of places to hike and kayak and stuff while we would be there.

What's your least favorite chore?

[Laragh]

Cleaning the oven/stove area. Lots of elbow grease and it never gets quite clean enough.

Do you prefer walking around the house in socks or bare feet?

[SickSadGirl]

Bare feet is better, but if they're really comfy socks that's fun, too.

If you were to be in a talent show today, what would you do?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Sing.

If you had an entire free weekend for it and unlimited supplies to make a present for someone, what would you make and why?

[Ariel]

I'd make a necklace. I have some beautiful sea stones . . abalone shell and various shiny glass bits. And I'm learning how to bead.

What kind of adventure would you go on if time/money was no object?

Ariel

[CrazyTaraWitch]

It's a toss up between two different trips my girl and I have planned: Go to the UK and see absolutely everything, including a dear friend of mine, and try to stalk the Doctor Who sets, or go to Africa, climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and fly kites there, and go on a safari.

If you could move anywhere in the world but had to live there the rest of your life, where would you go?

[sweet satin lover]

Where ever my loved ones were, anywhere I felt safe and loved its the people who make life and places interesting not the actual places.

If you were Queen for a day what would your throne and ideal palace look like?
