TNP has a vague feeling they're coming down with something.
False. Just fighting with persistent allergies.
TNP is voting within the next week or two.
True - I never miss a chance to vote; I'm all about the civic duty. As a particular incentive, we have two friends running locally, one for city council and the other for school board. Both have a pretty good chance of winning.
TNP likes Cobra Starship's "You Make Me Feel...." (my favorite recent earworm):
True, it's not bad, but then I was expecting this instead

Sure, why not? I'll use just about any excuse for a day off (well, not really, but it's tempting).
TNP ate too much Halloween candy tonight.
Maybe a little -- nothing too serious.
TNP knows a Wiccan IRL.
True. I am a half-assed pagan about 45% of the time, but I have a friend who goes all-out with the covenings and the sabbats and the whatnot.
TNP is craving Day of the Dead bread. (If your aren't, you should be, because it's tasty.)
Well, not craving, but I wouldn't mind a bite.
TNP prefers jelly doughnuts to glazed.
True, the jam doughnut is a masterpiece unsurpassable with modern confectional frippery.
TNP prefers social democracy to enlightened autocracy.
False, I think I would prefer the enlightened autocracy
TNP prefers apples to oranges?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False, a perfect orange is much tastier than a perfect apple. Harder to fine, though.
TNP enjoys leafy green veggies.
True, if joined on the table by some kind of meat, fish or crustecean.
TNP has personally caught a fish.
Yep, more than one. Last one was a 12 pound rainbow trout this summer. (Someone else netted it, but I'd reeled it in.)
TNP has shot an animal.
False. Targets yes, animals no.
TNP has been on a 3 day or longer hike?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Oh, yes. Back in my Boy Scouting days I did that several times, most memorably at Philmont, the huge Scout ranch in northern New Mexico. Good times.
TNP was in a Scouting program as a kid.
True and much fun was had to.
TNP used to be a Girl Scout when younger.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False, but I was an Indian Princess. (Incidentally, I'm shocked that the program still exists under that name.)
TNP has been tobogganing.

TNP has used a rotary phone.
True, my grandparents still have one hooked up in their basement.
TNP has seen/lived around an Amish community.
Well, within half an hour's drive of one, yes, when I lived in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Some Amish people were (very unwillingly) caught up in a child custody dispute that I was tangentially involved in, and during the trial stayed in the home of a lawyer I knew. He later told me that the thing that most surprised him about them was how much they loved loved loved orange juice! They knocked it back like it was going out of style. Guess they didn't get much on the farm.
TNP has gone weeks without drinking orange juice.

As of right now, I've likely gone at least a year. We don't keep it in the house, so the last orange juice I drank probably came with a restaurant breakfast on some morning when I didn't feel like coffee for whatever reason. Either that or it had a generous splash of vodka in it.
TNP owns more than one device for making coffee.

TNP has won a significant amount of money in a lottery or raffle.
False, I ain't never won nothing.
TNP enjoys gambling.
False; it gives me anxiety, mania, depression...yeah, it isn't pretty. I can play poker with friends for a few bucks, or throw down a small amount on a sporting event, but the idea of sitting at a poker table in a casino, or a slot machine, fills me with dread.
TNP has been at his or her current job for over two years.
