False. Me + carrots = No sweet lovin'

TNP does not own a cell phone.

False - but I haven't had credit on it for over 5 years and I use it more like a large digital watch.

TNP could not do without their cell phone.

Totally, it's my only means of communication for the most part.

TNP has been deep sea fishing.

False - but it is the only fishing I've ever fancied, just for the thrill of feeling something massive fighting back. I've heard carp in a pond can fight for hours, so it must be one hell of a challenge landing a 1,000lb fish.

TNP is a bit of a 'jack of all trades' and can put themself to any bit of handiwork.

True. I'm not Martha Stewart, Bob Vila or MacGyver, but I've installed toilets, kitchen and bathroom faucets, done plenty of painting, some spackling, laid hardwood floors...I'm reasonably handy around the house.



TNP has painted with oil paints on canvas.

Nope, it would be a waste of both.

TNP does not know how to ice skate.

True. I took lessons when I was 7 or 8, and ISTR a chronically bruised and frostbitten ass even then.




TNP has posted to Giraffe in the last week.

Yup, but just to thank 7 for getting the heads up about the Dome to McNutty.

TNP has drank a 40oz in the last month.

False. Biggest thing I've drunk in the past month was, on Sunday I didn't feel like driving to the store, so I walked to the Valero on the corner and got two 24oz cans: one of the Heinekens that looks like a little keg, and one of the Foster's that looks like an oil can. It was for fun as much as anything else, but they were both pretty good.



TNP habitually dips their fries in something other than ketchup.

False - unless curry or gravy count?

TNP would sell their soul for a million pounds sterling.

True; but since I don't believe I have a soul, I'd have to be okay with ripping off the purchaser.

TNP has never been on a cruise vacation.

False, I went to Cancun and Cozumel in 1998. Not since then.





TNP dressed up for Halloween last year.

Every year. I was the Big Bad Wolf last year.

TNP has shit their pants in the last year.

Thankfully, false. Unless we're speaking metaphorically.

TNP would rather live in an isolated, idyllic country home surrounded by natural beauty than in a stylish downtown high-rise minutes away from the sophisticated pleasures of city living.

True, infact, I do!


TNP is an expert at removing the stone from cherries.

I don't know about expert...I just kind of eat them and spit the pits out. Yum, though.





TNP has three or more different kinds of cheese in the refrigerator right now.

Oh yeah, cheddar, mozz, parm, pepper jack, colby, and brick. I love cheese.

TNP knows who Yngwie Malmsteen is and thinks he's awesome.

Fuck yeah. Dude, I've met Yngwie. I think I even posted about it here. \m/ :mad: \m/



TNP likes to ski.

I've only done it three times or so in my life, but I enjoyed. I like snowboarding much better.

TNP has purchased something from an infomercial.

No, not from an infomercial, which is a little surprising because I love gadgets and have to be accompanied in gadget shops so that I don't come out of with arms full of gadgets I never knew I needed.


TNP has had a subscription to Nationl Geographic at some point.

False. I'm a magazine junkie, but I've never had that one.

TNP has seen a movie at the cinema in the last week.

No, it's actually been ages since. I saw Quantum of Solace (pretty meh IMO)

TNP hasn't been cooking properly lately.

True! My husband is out of town,my son leaves tomorrow, and I leave next week for extended periods, so there is little motivation to cook much. We're living on quesedillas, pizza, ramen with chicken tossed in, and cut up oranges. Oh, and the cupcakes I made the other day because of Sleeps's post in this thread. :lol:

TNP has never owned a dog.

False - Rusty, Tich, Ricky, Bomber, Brym, King, Bracken, Bella, Zara, Beau. All chasing rabbits in an afterlife, I like to think.

TNP doesn't understand the attraction regarding pets, and feels they are an unnecessary nuisance.

False. Don't have one at present, and am not a "pet person", but have had them and like them.

TNP gets migraines.

False. I get headaches, of course, but when I see other people throwing up due to migraines, or being rendered basically inoperative for a whole afternoon and evening, I realize I have nothing to complain about.



TNP things his/her nightmares are more vivid and frightening than most.

False - I rarely, if ever, remember my dreams, and when I think about how dark my conscious thoughts can be, I'm glad I don't.

TNP has had their fortune told, and was surprised at the accuracy.

False. But I used to *tell* fortunes with Tarot cards as a passing hobby during high school, and was surprised at my "accuracy" - rather, my ability to spin a fortune that fit what the person wanted to hear. In retrospect, I realize it's not that hard - a little psychology and a silver tongue go a long way, particularly with impressionable high school girls.

TNP wishes they could find a new job, but isn't optimistic about their prospects because of the lousy economy.

True. I need to find a new one because I have to move so I can go back to school, but the prospect of doing so and having to give up the job I have now terrifies me, considering how lucky I am to have this job at all.

TNP remains close friends with a former lover.

No, I actually don't communicate with them at all.

TNP gets migraine headaches.

False. I used to when I was 16ish. Thank goodness they went away for some reason. They were terrible.

TNP has been an overnight patient in a hospital before.

Never have I ever. And I have no plans to any time in the future.

TNP plays some type of on-line game.

Unless the D&D thread right here on the Dome counts, then no. I'm not a WoW type guy. Maybe if I had 20 more hours in the week.




TNP is good at eating with chopsticks.

Definitely False - if we'd been meant to eat in the style in which chopsticks are used, our fingers would be longer.

TNP has tasted the native dishes from more than 10 countries.


eta: for accuracy.

Hmm...American, Mexican, Ecuadorian, Brazilian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, El Salvadaoran, Indian, French...if you only count things homecooked by actual natives (i.e. The Olive Garden doesn't count as Italian), it's probably pretty close.



TNP wears jackets as soon as the weather provides any possible excuse, even though it isn't really cold yet, just because he/she really loves wearing jackets.

False - I don't love wearing jackets, but I'd rather have one and not need it than the other way round. PITA in a nightclub tho'.

TNP would seriously consider burgling a music/dvd store if they were guaranteed to get away with it.

It seems like a lot of bother to actually get up and go to a brick and mortar store to burgle it, but if, say the iTunes store developed some hour-long billing glitch, I would be tempted to download like a motherfucker.




TNP can do a pull-up (chin-up).

True - One, definitely; two or three, probably; four or five, possibly...ten, definitely not.

TNP could run a 100m in less than 20 seconds.

No, if my math is correct. I can run 8km/hour on the treadmill for short bursts, but that's equivalent to 80m in 36 seconds - nowhere near good enough, without even taking into account that running on a treadmill is wayyy easier than real running.

TNP currently has at least one noticeable bruise somewhere on their body.

Yup I almost always do. I live a high impact lifestyle.

TNP is going to the bookstore today.

No, but I did place a hold at the library.

TNP is an insomniac.

True like woah!

TNP likes to crunch on ice.

Yes I do! And all those parental remarks about "don't chew ice, you'll ruin your teeth" may be true, as I am the queen of cracked teeth - not sure how many tooth fractures I've had, but it's got to be at least 3 or 4, despite fluoridated water and 3 glasses of milk/day as a kid.

TNP has brown eyes.

They're blue.


TNP has their water heated by solar power.

Nope, gas.

TNP has had sex in public.

Yes!

Or kind of, anyway. Does it count if you had sex with the DJ at a college radio station while broadcasting a Pink Floyd album, and both of you were so stoned that you weren't really sure if the mike in the studio was flipped off? And the next DJ on the schedule could have walked in at any moment?

TNP is not prepared to reveal details of their own sexual history in the above level of detail.

Very true. I don't discuss the details of my sexual history with even my closest friends. Much to their chagrin, by the way.

TNP thinks Jerry Falwell is a douche. (A pretty safe "TNP," I know, but I'm coming up blank.)

Sure, I'll swing at this one. Guy's a total douche, and really hasn't shown much in the way of redeeming features.


TNP can tie a cherry stem into a knot using only their mouth, in less than 60 seconds.

Not in under or over 60 seconds.

TNP can crack their knuckles at will, repeatedly.

No, just once. Then they have to rest for a while.

The next poster has professionally used a power tool.
