Hoping, but not expecting. The PJ LotR movies kind of got worse with each successive one (odd, considering they were all shot simultaneously), and I guess I'm just expecting The Hobbit to be lame.
TNP has been in a courtroom as the defendant.

Hoping, but not expecting. The PJ LotR movies kind of got worse with each successive one (odd, considering they were all shot simultaneously), and I guess I'm just expecting The Hobbit to be lame.
TNP has been in a courtroom as the defendant.
False, I've lived an embarassingly law-abiding life.
TNP doesn't own formal wear.
Well, no tuxedo or top hat, but I have one suit and a few shirt-and-tie combos that would be suitable (heh) for wearing with it. It basically comes out for funerals and job interviews.
TNP has a noticeable birthmark.
False, nothing obvious at all.
TNP is an innie, not an outie?
True. An innie all my life.
Speaking of Outies, TNP has read Niven and Pournelle's sf classic The Mote in God's Eye.
I've read the cover many times, and the first twenty pages almost as many! [/shame]
TNP knows what tear gas feels/smells like.
False. Never been in a riot, for that matter.
TNP has had a cop shout at him or her.
Yes, in the Federated States of Micronesia. She was directing "traffic" (I use the word loosely since there weren't that many cars on island) at an intersection and apparently wanted me to go. Her fluttering hand gesture was unlike anything I'd ever seen before so I just gawked at her wondering what she wanted me to do. She finally yelled out "just go, already" or something like that.
TNP feels greasy if they don't wash their hair every day.
False, I can skip a day every once in a while. Any more and I turn into an oil slick.
TNP regularly uses a blow dryer.
False; I haven't used a blow dryer for anything other than defogging the bathroom mirror in 15 years.
TNP likes Thanksgiving.
True, I think it might be my favorite holiday; food and family togetherness with a minimum of commercialization and significantly less stress than X-mas.
TNP knows how to make gravy.
False. My culinary talents are limited to making toast, microwaving and heating things from cans.
TNP likes gravy on mashed potatoes.
Definitely. I mean, I'll take mashed potatoes any way I can get them, but gravy is, well, gravy.
TNP regularly burns incense.
False. Never have; doubt I ever will.
TNP likes incense to be burned during his or her worship services (whatever they may be).
True. Burning incense it part of my personal mental preparations for prayer/meditation. (Incidentally, while we never had much incense burned in church while I was growing up, I've been to enough Catholic services to know that I want to steal whatever type of incense they use and burn it all the time in my house forever.)
TNP keeps candles in the house.
True. We have two fireplaces, and the upstairs one, instead of a gas log, has an arrangement of 20-30 votive candles in it. We light them up for company or when we just feel like it. Also, we have the usual assortment of scented and air freshening ones.
TNP has been to New Mexico.
True, my grandmother used to live there. The Gila mountains are beauteous. The food is fantastic. I love it and and wish I could move to Santa Fe.
TNP has been to Montana.
False (although I have been to New Mexico, backpacking in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the north - loved it!)
TNP likes to go backpacking.
False, I'll go as far as a long stroll.
TNP prefers writing with a pen to using a computer.
No, as a left-handed klutzy, the wordprocessing is my friend.

False; I'm feeling pretty good this morning.
TNP is in a foul mood at the moment.
True, I'm at work.
TNP is excited about Thanksgiving.
False, it's long over.
TNP puts hot sauce on almost everything.
True; it's a standard table condiment here. I don't cotton to the extreme, eat-on-a-dare sauces (anything with a skull or a mushroom cloud on the label is right out), but the Tabasco, Frank's, Sriracha, and Cholula all get a heavy workout at the OneCentStamp/artifex dinner table.
TNP has more than one kind of honey in the house right now.
False, I just have some orange blossom stuff I bought last year when I had a cold and needed to make hot whiskey-lemonade.
TNP has had a cold this year.
True; I feel as though I had one for all of October. :P
TNP has had a bloody nose in the last month.
Nope, can't even remember the last time that I did have one really. Probably back in the powdered entertainment days.
TNP thinks Nutella is kind of gross.
True, though my wife likes it a lot.
TNP is happy to see Ryan back.
False. I am a terrible scourge of a human being and I wear too much cologne.
TNP thinks Eddie Murphy's carreer is past the point of salvage.
True, stick to the voiceovers Eddie......'kin hell it's cluricaun, how's tricks??
TNP hates being bored.
False, I have a pretty high tolerance for boredom.
TNP has eaten McDonald's in the past week.
Eww. No. Boston Market is the closest I've come to fast food.
And I'm well CIAS, thank you.
TNP isn't looking forward to Thanksgiving.
False! I'm looking forward to this Thanksgiving more than any other that I can remember. A bunch of friends of roughly our same age group (25-40) are getting together with our kids (for those who have any) and having a big, informal, two-generation, lots-of-wine-and-beer, no-stress potluck. I may well be the oldest person there at 38, and there will be a bunch of serious cooks involved.
TNP has used the services of a tanning salon.
Not I. Never felt the urge.
TNP takes Vitamin D regularly.
Well, I take a daily multi that contains Vitamin D, so I suppose it's true.
TNP has had snow fall on his or her head this calendar year.
True, it didn't stop snowing here until March, and it's already started again.
TNP has a stash of fireworks at their house right now.
False, I don't know where I would even get them if I wanted them.
TNP has a high level of job satisfaction.
No, but god, I wish I did. (My kid would like that, too.)
TNP always likes to have a candy bar within easy reach.
False, the more candy I have in reach, the more candy I will EAT, and that's just not good.
TNP has been to the doctor in the past month.
True, I've been to both my cardio and my dentist within the last month.
TNP has had a hair cut in the last month.
False, my kid and I get our hair cut together, and he wants to hold off until after "crazy hair day" at school.
TNP uses an electric razor.
Sadly yes as I'm running faster than my hair can keep up these days. My time of long locks is long past and it takes a bit of work to stop everyone from noticing that I actually have Clint Howard's hairstyle.
TNP owns and uses a VCR from time to time.
Edit - Whoops - No electric here, what little shaving I do is done with a razor. The VCR thing stands.
False, we finally ditched our VCR in the pre-Utah-move purge last summer.
TNP owned a ZIP drive.
Not that I can recall, no.
TNP could go for some macaroni and cheese right now.
Definitely. Whether it's plain old Kraft Mac n' Cheese, the nicer boxed Annie's Organic, or something homemade, I can almost always go for some macaroni and cheese.
TNP has photos in his or her wallet (other than the ones on the driver's license).
Nope, I ruin wallets in around two years and everything inside always ends up covered in rubbed off black leather tan, pictures wouldn't last a week. I have a very warm butt I guess.
TNP already has an idea for their next Halloween costume.
True, but it depends on my friend's willingness to sew for me.
TNP has a favorite tree.
Yes, we have a nice old dogwood in our front yard that's spectacular for about two weeks every year.
TNP has cut down a tree.
Sure, lots of them. I worked as a forest fire fighter for a few seasons in my early 20's and cutting down trees was part of the job.
TNP routinely wears more than one ring on their hands.
No, just my wedding ring. Anything more and I'd feel like an extra on the Sopranos.
TNP regularly wears a chain on their neck.
