Sure, who doesn't like a little "Bang Your Head" every once in a while?
TNP has witnessed a riot.
True. a few, actually...
TNP had a really delicious meal today.
I had Thai-style coconut curry for breakfast. Yum.
TNP enjoys opera.
True - my favorite composer is Puccini.
TNP has read The Silmarillion.
Yes, but I have to say, it never spoke to me like LOTR. Maybe nothing would have lived up to my hopes.
TNP hates hip hop.
False, it's not my favorite genre, but there are songs that I like.
TNP hates musicals.
False. I like some of them (and appeared in a couple in high school and college).
TNP likes Roy Orbison.
True. Great songwriter, distinctive and evocative vocalist.
TNP likes The Beach Boys.
False, I find them pretty meh.
TNP has a preferred kind of pen.
True! Pilot Varsity disposable fountain pens. A great, smooth line, with vivid blue ink and no mess: http://www.amazon.com/Varsity-Dispos...6673666&sr=8-4
TNP likes Supertramp.
False, not really my kind of band.
TNP has worn a plaster for a cut in the last month.
True. Many. Mainly on my fingers.
TNP has a lucky number.
False. I have certain numbers I find inexplicably appealing, but I couldn't say they're "lucky," since I don't play roulette or the lottery or anything else I could use them for. :)
TNP could bake decent bread without referring to a recipe.
False. Oh so very false.
TNP has a favorite flower.
No, kinda like 'em all.
TNP has had an exasperating week.
TRUE, ESTO ES LA VERDAD.
TNP is planning something nice for Mother's Day.
No. Neither my wife nor my mom want anyone to make much of a fuss.
TNP likes Rammstein.
True true true! \m/
TNP is trying to lose/gain weight.
I could stand to lose a few pounds, but it's not a big deal for me right now.
TNP likes Supertramp.
Not really my jam, but they're OK.
TNP has eaten sushi in the past week.
True! Had some with a friend on Friday. It's a nice occasional treat; I probably only have it three or four times a year.
TNP likes Talking Heads.
Not as much as artifex does, but I don't change the channel unless it's "Burnin' Down The House."
TNP has purchased new shoes for him- or herself in the past month.
True, I started to go through the base of my last set.
TNP does not wear shoes inside their abode.
True; I grew up in a mixed-culture household, but shoes in the house were a definite no-no thanks to the Asian side. Now that I'm an adult, I choose not to wear shoes in the house, but don't inflict it on guests. :)
TNP washes his or her hair every day, or nearly every day.
True. Every day, unless I'm camping and don't have access to a shower. I feel oogy if I don't.
TNP likes Uncle Kracker.
Don't know what that is, so I guess "No."

No, it's been a few weeks since I last burned my tongue (hot coffee).
TNP likes Victory (German heavy metal band).
Never heard of them. Shall google!
TNP has played pool (balls, cues etc) recently.
False. The last time I played pool was in Houston, so at least two years ago.
TNP enjoys a massage.
Oh yes. My back and shoulders can alway use a rub.
TNP always takes the extra soaps from hotels.
The bars of soap, no. The little mini-size shampoos and conditioners, yes, if I liked them. Those are handy, especially with TSA regs being what they are.
TNP has business cards.
False, I've never had a position that requires them.
TNP works in a cubicle.
Sorta. It's mercifully not the "walled on three sides, stuck in an endless cubicle farm" type deal, but I do sit at a desk in an office I share with two other people.
TNP once owned a pager.
Nope, never did. I didn't even get a cellphone until three years ago.
TNP likes Wilson Phillips.
True, though its been a while since I heard them.
TNP can bite their toenails.
Don't think so, and am not gonna try.
TNP owns more than one car.
False. artifex and I share one, in fact, so I guess I don't even own one whole car. :D
TNP owns an e-reader of some kind.
True. My Nook Color is an evil temptress.
TNP has read more than one book in the Dune series.
Yes, and don't I regret it.
TNP has read something by Frank Herbert that didn't have "Dune" in the title.
You and me both, man.Quote:

False. I'm a masochist, but not that much of a masochist.
TNP watched the Dune miniseries on the SciFi channel.
Hey, I've read...(consults Goodreads)...three non-Dune Herbert books, and all three were outstanding! :mad:
Not only did I watch that miniseries, I watched the subsequent Dune Messiah/Children of Dune miniseries starring a young (and not yet famous) James McAvoy as Leto Jr.
TNP has read a Tolkien outside of the Hobbit and LotR books.
True, I've read the Silmarillion, the Unfinished Tales, and both volumes of The Book of Lost Tales.Quote:

False....at least I'd have to hesitate.
TNP has read something by C.S. Lewis that didn't involve Narnia.
False, and in fact I've read only one of his books, period, The Magician's Nephew. :fail:
TNP owns a stringed instrument.
False. Never have, and doubt I ever will.
As it happens, I'm now on the last hundred pages of Frank Herbert's The White Plague, and... it sucks (gotta finish it for my book club, though). Sorry.
TNP likes X-Ray (member of the hip hop group Monsta Island Czars).
That is a terrible, terrible choice. My inner eight-year-old is crying.Quote:

TNP enjoys Shakespeare.
I haven't read The White Plague, but I really enjoyed Whipping Star, The Dosadi Experiment, and especially Destination: Void.
True, regarding Shakespeare. Always hated being forced to read him in high school, but I've come around. Maybe 14 is too young to force the Bard on the average - or even the above-average, as I was - English student.
TNP has read something by Ben Jonson.
Hmm, don't think so, or if I have, I've forgotten, which is as good as never having read it.
TNP is carrying a lighter or matches at the moment.
False. I'm not a smoker, so there's never really a reason.
TNP is carrying a bottle opener at the moment.
False. (Note so self: acquire a Leatherman.)
TNP knows who Don Cherry is.
