The next person to post in this thread...

No, never have, although someday it's possible. What works for Bruce Willis just might work for me (or so I sometimes fondly think).

TNP likes quince.

Can't say I've ever tried one! I shall return and report once I have. :sci:

TNP likes papaya.

False, I think they have a oogy texture.

TNP owns a movie soundtrack.

True: Team America - World Police \m/

TNP has to get up to pee in the middle of the night (I hate that!).

True sometimes, often if I was drinking alcohol before bed. More often, I have to get up to pee way early in the morning, then debate whether it's worth trying to get back to sleep for the 45 minutes before the alarm is going to go off anyway. :mad:

TNP considers him- or herself picky about alcoholic beverages.

Not really. I prefer good stuff, but I'll happily drink Bud at a ball game, or a Bud Lite if somebody I'm visiting offers me one.

TNP has sent back an expensive bottle of wine at a restaurant.

False, on so many levels.1) I've never ordered an expensive bottle of wine at a restaurant - nothing over about $45, anyway, which you know is half that at the wine store around the corner. 2) Sending things back at a restaurant runs so counter to my natural social awkwardness that it would have to be the wrong wine, or flat-out turned to vinegar, before I could muster up the gall. :D

TNP is good at mixing drinks.

Nope. No skill at that at all.

TNP likes rutabagas.

Like 'em OK. Never say "You know what would be good right now? Rutabagas would be good right now."

TNP has been kind of forgetful lately.

If by "lately", you mean "since forever and until the end of time", yes.

TNP reads the introductions/forewards of books.

Always, without exception.

TNP likes shawarma.

Oh my goodness, yes. I wish there a good place, or even a good truck, around here for some shawarma.

TNP likes gumbo.

Yeah, pretty much, although I prefer etouffee (never had better than at Antoine's in the French Quarter).

TNP likes tangerines.

False - I'm not keen on citrus in general (although I love to cook with lemon or lime juice, but that is much different than eating an orange/tangerine/grapefruit out of hand).

The next poster thinks HRT (for herself, or if male for a loved one) is most likely a stupid idea.

No, if the bad guys have taken me hostage, I'd be quite delighted to have them break down the door: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostage_Rescue_Team

TNP likes ugni.

I have no idea, I've never tried it. (This?)

TNP likes [/i]Mystery Science Theater 3000[/i].

What little I've seen of it, yes. Pretty funny.

And yes, that ugni.

TNP likes vanilla.

In very small doses, yes.

TNP enjoys dancing.

In very small doses, yes.

TNP has sung karaoke in the last year.

Several times! It's quite popular here.

TNP has been the victim of a fairly significant theft or robbery at some point in their life.

Fortunately false. I've been very lucky so far on that front. :: crosses fingers ::

TNP likes wild cherries.

True! Nommish.

TNP can cook a roast.

False. I'm not much of a cook at all.

TNP likes xigua.

True, if I'm allowed to Google it first and learn that it's basically watermelon.

TNP doesn't know anything at all about kava.

False, if we're talking about the mildly psychoactive herbal drink enjoyed by many Polynesians. True otherwise. :D

TNP is wearing a belt right now.

Yes, quite helpful in holding up my pants.

TNP has had a cortisone injection.

Never. Hope I never need one, either.

TNP likes yellow plums.

False, I've never had one.

TNP likes sake.

Like it fine, although it's been a while since I had any.

TNP likes riding trains.

I'd say I feel neutrally about them. I've spent a good portion of the last five years commuting by train, and while that's faster/quieter/smoother/better than commuting by bus, it's still not exactly the Hogwarts Express.

TNP has voted by absentee ballot before.

Yes, several times in my college years. That was quite awhile ago, though. I actually prefer to vote in person, and take part in that shared civic ritual, than to vote by mail.

TNP likes ziziphus.

Hell no. In fact, if there's anything that gets me pissed off in a hurry, it's ziziphus. Hate the damn things. They're always showing up where they don't belong, in my flower bed or stuck between my teeth or stealthily taking root at the foot of my bed so they can reach out and AGGGHHHHH---

Just kidding. I have no opinion on ziziphus.

TNP has never tried eating lo-carb.

Not for any length of time, no.

TNP likes The Abyss.

True, it's a pretty good movie for its time.

TNP has a favorite dinosaur.

Yes, I've always liked Triceratops: spunky, well-built, content to be left alone but ready to face off with T. Rex if it has to. Or at least that's how I imagine its personality. For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triceratops

TNP likes Bob Roberts.

True in the future, I think. I'm sure I would like Bob Roberts, if I'd seen it. Anything involving Tim Robbins is bound to be good.

TNP has experienced a significant mishap involving a dinner party.

Hmm, nothing that you'd call significant that I can remember.

TNP has been at a party where two people hooked up who REALLY shouldn't have hooked up.

I was involved in student theatre in college. Draw your own conclusions.

TNP can recite speeches from Shakespeare when the mood strikes them.

A line or two from here and there, but not speeches, as such. (I'm a big fan of Macbeth and Henry V, and played Oberon in a high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, from which I still remember only my first line: "Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania!").

TNP likes Captain America.

True, the movie turned out a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be.

TNP owns an iPad.

False. My husband has one though.

TNP feels nostalgic about long childhood summers whenever s/he hears the sound of a lawnmower.

False. I remember the time I was hit in the head by a flying rock, courtesy of a ride-on, and had to go to hospital...

TNP likes dragonfruit.

False! Dragonfruit is easily available here, and we don't understand why it counts as "food" if you are not starving.

TNP currently has exactly the number of children they want in life, whether it is zero, 1, 2, 3 ....

Yeah, that's probably true. We were lucky with the kid.

TNP is a life-long insomniac.

False, it comes and goes. Lately, I'm sleeping like a log.

TNP can eat an entire pack of Pringles in one go.

I'm sure I could (what is it, like 8 ounces of salty dried potatoes?), so I'm going to say "true," but I don't think I've eaten even a singular Pringular in the past five years. God, my wedding ring is getting tight just thinking about eating a whole can. Got water? :D


TNP has been stung by a bee or a wasp in the last decade.

True! For the very first time just a couple of years ago. Bitch hurt.

TNP likes Converse All-Stars.

Very much so. I own two pairs right now - a pair of black suede low tops, and a pair of black canvas low tops that are almost 8 years old.. In fact, I'll probably wear some today.

TNP wears sandals of some kind regularly.

True - I have a pair of flip-flops by the back door that I slip on most every day to go tromping through the yard inspecting our not-very-productive garden.

TNP had a less than ideal experience when they lost their virginity.

Hrm. It wasn't all rose petals and angelic singing, but I've certainly had worse sex.

TNP owns a vibrator.
