TNP prefers hot drinks to cold drinks
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False. Unless it's tea. I some hot tea.
TNP feels uncomfortable without some kind of noise in the room.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
Usually. I have a touch of tinnitus (thanks, 10 years of playing in punk rock bands!), and when I'm in a dead silent room, it's audible and annoying, to the point where I can't sleep without at least a little noise, e.g. from a fan.
TNP would buy an iPad if they were $100.

Not unless the firmware upgrade rumors I'm hearing about my Nook Color fell through.
TNP prefers their sodas out of a bottle.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

TNP prefers dark chocolate over milk chocolate.
Hell damn yes!
TNP prefers fruity smells to floral.

TNP has eaten something deep-fried today.
False. But I had a bowl of warm tapioca pudding about a half hour ago.
TNP hates tapioca pudding.
False. NOM NOM NOM.
TNP can feel in their bones when it's gonna rain.
Nah, not in my bones, but I get head and shoulder pains when the barometer goes down.
TNP doesn't have a pet at the moment.
False. We have a wonderful black cat, Sal, who's about 21 years old now (he was a foundling for the family from which we got him, so we're not sure of his exact age). Still lively and lovable. He looks a lot like this, although with yellower eyes and a little patch of white under his chin: http://blog.oregonlive.com/sellwood/...lack%20cat.jpg
TNP isn't superstitious about black cats or any other animals.
True. Not superstitious about animals at all.
TNP will be meeting friends after work
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Nope. I'm still not working due to illness. But if things go well I'll spend a couple of hours with a few friends on Sunday for a Superbowl party.
TNP, like me, finds American football to be extremely boring.
I like NFL football and love /get frustrated watching my Giants. Oddly no Superbowl party this year though.

True, although mostly because it's hard to find a fight on during a time when I'm watching TV.
TNP will be more cheerful when MLB spring training starts.
False, I haven't paid close attention to MLB in over a decade. The baseball world collectively falling all over itself to congratulate an obviously roided-out Mark n' Sammy was pretty much the end for me, and they were at least likeable guys. Barry Bonds drove that coffin a full six feet deeper into the ground.
TNP has been to a live major league sporting event in the last 12 months.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

True. If they're indoors, I'll gather them up and take them outside to release them. I don't like killing things unless there's a good reason to do so.
TNP has written a complaint letter to a company.
True. I wrote to a tea company, who sold me 48 teabags in a box that should've contained 50. I wrote a letter of complaint, as a joke, to see what would happen. They sent me a $5 check...
TNP drinks herbal tea.
True. I have a peppermint herbal that I've been drinking most of the winter. It is wonderful.
TNP is super hungry.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

False

So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
At the moment, no, although we've had about a foot in the past week. Right now it's sort of a crusty ice underfoot, but fortunately not too slippery.
TNP knew an ice queen in high school.
Not really. Most of the people I remember from high school were pretty emotive.
TNP has family out of the country with the military.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
False, at least not that I'm aware of.

TNP has personally killed a mammal.
True. I was going to say no, but then I remembered that I hit a rabbit with my truck a few years ago. Made me cry.
TNP has a headache right now.
False, which is surprising, because I've had more headaches inthe past month and a half than I think I've ever had.
TNP has viewed NSFW material at work.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
True - sometimes by accident, a few times on purpose.

"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

True. Both, actually.
TNP works on his/her feet.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
False. My tush is typically resting on an office chair. Sometimes I'll stand at my bookcase when I'm reviewing files, just to keep the circulation going, though.
TNP has a favorite coffee mug.
False; artifex and I have a matching set of eight olive-green ones, and I can't even tell them apart.
TNP will be making a point of watching the Super Bowl tomorrow.

TNP will drink at least three beers tomorrow.
God I hope it's False. I'm a recovering alcoholic.
TNP has cross-dressed. Fabulously.
Honey, I don't do anything fabulously.
TNP has made home made ice cream.
True. We do it just about every summer while visiting my wife's family in Vermont.

TNP has been in Brattleboro, Vt.
False, umm, where??
TNP listens to the radio
