NO.
TNP is listening to music right now.
True, on the radio as usual
TNP would like to swap places with someone else.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False, although I wouldn't mind making big changes to my current situation.
TNP needs a haircut.
Yes, and I don't know when I'll find time to get one.
TNP is actively looking for a new job.
No, I just signed a contract for another 2 years in my current job.
TNP is anxious for Mad Men to start up again.
False. I'd probably like the show if I watched it, but never have.
TNP won't tell anyone else that he or she will tune into Two and A Half Men just to see what it's like with Ashton Kutcher.
False, the only sitcom I watch is Community.
TNP thinks that autumn is the best season.
That or springtime, yes.
TNP did something in memory of the 9-11 attacks on Sunday.
False, though it was interesting to read what the Indonesian newspapers had to say about the anniversary.
TNP has never been to a high school reunion.
True, although I never went to a High School so it may be moot.
TNP really wants a chocolate cake at this point in time.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Hmm, I handn't until now...
TNP could drink a brandy right now.
True, which is probably not good, since it's 9:00 AM.
TNP has a case of the Mondays.
Well, it is Tuesday here, but yeah, kind of.
TNP wears contact lenses.
More often than not, yes. I wear glasses about a third of the time to give my eyeballs a rest.
(Hatshepsut, what did the Indonesian newspapers have to say about the anniversary? Start another thread, if you like).
TNP likes chicken pot pies.

True, although I don't have them often
TNP has a hot meal for lunch today
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
True. I usually have a hot lunch since I work at home, so I just pop leftovers into the microwave.
Elendil's Heir, I'm just like you with respect to contact lenses. As to the 9/11 stories, they focused on first-person stories of Indonesians living in the US at the time. Mostly they were bewildered by the event and its aftermath, and moved back to Indonesia as soon as possible afterward - due both to fear and anti-Islamic sentiment that reigned shortly after 9/11.
TNP believes that the "anti-Islamic sentiment" referenced in the paragraph above has become much less of a problem over the past decade.

True, but there are still occasional problems with my more ignorant/bigoted/clueless countrymen.
TNP personally knows at least three Muslims.
True, mainly from work.
TNP follows a sports team
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Kinda sorta, esp. when they're doing well: the Cleveland Indians baseball team.
TNP has been to a pro sports game in the last month.
That should have been mine, dammit! Having only lived in Moslem countries since 1993, I have an obvious answer to that.
False. In fact I can't recall the last spectator sporting event I attended, pro or amateur.
TNP lives in an apartment.

False, I finally have a home of my own.
TNP knows at least three buddhists.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
True, and then some; my mom and her family are all Vietnamese Buddhists.
TNP owns a pair of roller skates or roller blades.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

No. I'm sorry to admit I haven't ridden my bike all summer.
TNP has a relatively new car.
False and that's unlikely to change in the near future
TNP has already started shopping for Christmas
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False. False false false. Too busy and not in "the spirit"
TNP has been to the doctor this week
Yes, every day this week so far. But I don't think that counts, since I work here.
TNP colors his or her hair on a regular basis.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
False. I look at those "Just for Men" commercials and shudder.
TNP has had a hair cut in the last week.
False. I am due for a cut, though.
TNP has had a mani/pedi.
False. I've never had either - they fall into that rather large category of "girly stuff I do not understand or want to understand, even though I'm a girl."
If given a map of Europe with the names of the all the countries left blank, TNP could correctly write in all the names.
All of them? No. Maybe 75%, I think.
TNP could list all 50 of the United States within five minutes.
False. I could name maybe 20 in 5 minutes.
TNP can name all Australian states and territories in 1 minute.
Definitely no. I would do better than your average American because I live near Australia and work with lots of Australians, but I'm still not very knowledgeable.
TNP is very afraid of spiders.
No, just a little afraid of the big hairy ones that I never actually see IRL.
TNP has secretly wondered if spitz has a nickname for the rather distinctive organ depicted in his avatar.
False, false, TMI, Urrgh, brain bleach please.
TNP thinks that Elendil's Heir in fancy dress in his avatar.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I do not, though I wish it were so.
TNP has watched Dr Phil at some point in the past.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
False? True? I've never seen his show, but I did see him on David Letterman once, and I'm not sure if that counts.
TNP likes Hostess Twinkies.
Um ... I haven't had one in years, but, I guess? It's sweet, anyways.
TNP likes Circus Peanuts.
True. And I don't particularly care if they're stale or fresh.
TNP loves visiting Chicago.
False, but I have never visited Chicago
TNP has at least 2 pets
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Correct: a dog, a cat, two guinea pigs and a hermit crab. My sons are responsible for the care of all but the cat, though.
TNP had a dog in his or her childhood.
False.
TNP maintains (as do I) that there is no such thing as a "fresh" circus peanut, as those suckers pop outta the factory stale.
True, those things are a horror show of texture and flavor.
TNP is planning a costume for Halloween.
False, although I am expecting lots of kids to come round looking for sweets
TNP is going on holiday in the next month or so
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
True! I leave on Thurs. morning for a four-day-weekend trip with friends to some Civil War battlefields in Virginia, incl. Appomattox, where I've never been before.
TNP has been to a historic battlefield in the past three months.
False. Probably. I may have crossed lands where battles between Indian nations and each other or white settlers occurred, but nothing commemorated.
TNP has a Fitocracy account.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
False, I haven't seen that site before. It looks kind of like SparkPeople? (Which I found to be the opposite of helpful.)
TNP is really loving a book they're reading.
True. I'm on the third Mistborn book, and they've been getting successively better with each installment. Definitely a welcome change-up from the rest of 2011 so far, which has been pretty much all Victorian.
TNP thinks this is cute:
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Ahem. True.
TNP is eating leftovers for dinner tonight.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
