False, but I would have said the same thing at this time yesterday, only to end up going to two meetings afterwards. How do I love thee, small business? Let me count the ways.
TNP has pets of two or more different species right now.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
False. I had considered going to my 10-year reunion (2001), but it was halfway across the country and I could dispose neither the time nor the money at that time. By my 20-year reunion last year, Facebook was a thing and I no longer needed an awkward Happy Hour in order to catch up with these people.
TNP has driven a rental car in the last six months.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
False. I've read two Henry James novels - The Turn of the Screw and The Beast in the Jungle - and liked the first all right, although I wouldn't say I "enjoyed" it. For the second, I was bored out of my skull. He never used one word when twenty were available.
True. I write ad copy as a fairly large chunk of my job, I won a few minor awards for essays and short fiction in college, and I've taken a stab or two at novels, but ultimately I'd love someone to offer me a living wage to take a year and write my best book. Never gonna happen. Story of my life, and that of many, many other people, I'm sure.
TNP had an e-mail address before January 1, 1996.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
Well, I suppose I could still log in at the SDMB, but I haven't paid to post there in a long time, and stopped posted there at all since Domebo was founded. Sigh....
False. Angelfire, baby. It was so embarrassing that five years later, I had to ask them to take it down for me because I had forgotten all my login info.
TNP generally goes by his or her full first name.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
Yes, but my real first name is only one syllable. When I was a kid, my family often called me by a short form of one of my middle names. My family's kind of funny.
No, I never have! That and the Grand Canyon are the two places in America I still haven't been to that I'd really like to. Almost seems like a requirement of citizenship.
Sure, my mom! She was born in Saigon as was I, but I was born a US citizen thanks to Dad. I remember her citizenship ceremony well, even though I was only five, because it was the first time I ever saw my dad cry.
TNP has thrown a punch at another human in anger since the age of 18.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
Sure, I took "Intro To Kempo Karate" for a PhysEd credit my freshman year in college. The names of the techniques were so embarrassing. "Alternating Maces." "Left Forward Bow."
TNP can do the cherry stem knot-tying trick.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
