^ Nope! I have horrible equilibrium and an overly sensitive stomach so spinning makes me sick -_-

< is leaving for the US in a week and dreading the plane trip.

V your favorite holiday is Christmas!

^ Nope. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
< Actually doing schoolwork!
V Watched Saturday morning cartoons when they were little.

^ Heck yes. I live off of cartoons as they're the only thing I'll actually watch live TV for. (Everything else I get from the good ol BBC when it comes out in dvd.)

< Caught a cold walking across a campus. (No, not a student.)

v Owns a pet alligator named Gertrude.

^ Sadly, no. ...I do however, have 4 cats - (I swear I am not a cat lady; two of them are from when friends moved to places they couldn't keep them!) - Basil, Sappho, Saba and Gracie. ...I only named the first two. :)

< Should be making dinner right now, but doesn't want to, even though she loves to cook.

v Secretly wishes ze could still splash in puddles like ze did as a child.

^ Yep, I do wish I could splash around in puddles again. Fuuuun!
OT: One of Vincent's middle names is Basile! I love the name Basil.

< wishes her husband wasn't being such a cranky butt-wipe today. It must be his time of the month.

^I am not! I am, however trying to solve the puzzle of why my new grooveshark playlist widget won't post properly here! Not on my profile, and not in a comment in the mixtape topic! =(

Other than that, I am plotting foamy death! Mwa ha ha! >:D *swings her boffer that has a stabby tip* The Mr. and I recently started participating in a local Dagorhir group.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagorhir

From the wiki article above: Dagorhir Battle Games is a battle game with thousands of members spread throughout the US, Canada and England.

Founded in Washington, DC, USA in 1977, it has since spread to scores of locations[1] .[2] It is combat-oriented, with full-contact melee fighting and ranged combat as its primary focus. Fighters typically use foam weapons such as swords, flails, spears, bows and arrows, javelins, axes, and other medieval weapons.[3] Unlike some other battle games or LARPs, there is no use of “magic".[4]

Participants wear period costume and are expected to stay in-character during events - although the amount of seriousness the role-playing aspect receives varies greatly by unit and chapter.[5]

DAGORHIR BATTLE GAMES

DARK AGE EUROPE MEETS TOLKIEN'S MIDDLE EARTH IN A
SAFE & ACTION-PACKED NATIONAL LIVE ACTION BATTLE GAME
Experience yesterday's fun today!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boffer

I've taken up a foam sword, and spar weekly. (Work schedules of my team mates, and weather permitting of course.) We gotta get me some sports goggles by the new year though. Head shots do not count, (but that doesn't mean they can't, or won't happen) unless they are dagorhir arrows and you are not wearing a helmet! O_O

I've gotten me some knee pads, to help save my poor ol knees! My opponents kept "legging" me, and by the end of practice my knees were sore and bruised! (If they get you on the leg, that leg is counted as dead and you have to go down on your knees and defend yourself from there. If they get both legs at once you are dead.) This way, I can practice, but keep my knees in better shape for events! Like in the videos below! O_O

< Hopes everyone's travel for the holidays is safe and hassle free!

v Just had chocolate!

^ Nope. But I can go get some. :D (Huzzah for vending machines!)

< Is trying to get her artistic groove back as she's been out of art school for 2 years and has only been doing design in that time. (My drawing has suffered because of this. :( )

v Likes people watching.

^ heck yes! who needs TV? :P Strange as it sounds the past year I've spent a bit in and out of hospitals... (realllly sick) and people watching made it all endurable. Have you seriously ever watched what sort of things happen at hospitals? I always get pulled into what those peoples lives are like and whatnot.
< painted my nails this color:
v Has a wii or other game system and classifies themself as a nerd?

^ We have a Wii! My husband plays with it way more than I do, though. The only thing I use it for is Wii Fit and occasionally Wii Sport. Sang Wook and I play tennis with it. It's fun because I usually win. :P

Love the polish color! What brand did you use?

< is anxious to get her new glasses!

I should have 'em on Monday :D

V loves peanut butter

^ Oh my gosh, I looooove peanut butter. I pack a peanut butter sandwich for lunch everyday, in fact. :D

< Hasn't started Christmas shopping yet... :x

V Only likes snow on Christmas Day

^ Mmmm, no. I can say with some authority, after spending one xmas in England, that snow on xmas day is completely overrated. Christmas is about beaches and seafood and water pistols and board shorts and parents cooking roasts on 40°C days.

< Has finished xmas shopping and bought 100% of it online. The internet is my BFF.

v Has never had a Tim Tam slam.

^ Nope, I haven't. =( I've had the orange Pims before, but never even had a Tim Tam. (YET!) *marks Tim Tam Slam down on her list of things to try along with real poutine*

< Just got my little neice an adorable outfit for Christmas, and a little toy train. (She LOVES clothes,but is a tomboy otherwise. She's like me!)

v Just petted the cat.

@Mei oh my gosh, I don't even remember, its probably from the dollar store! hehe

^ haha surprisingly no. He is busy sleeping and doesn't care to be disturbed. ;)

< Just finished watching BBC Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth.... *sigh*

v Must list their favorite literary hero heart-throb (or heroine, as the case may be)

^ Literary? Howl from Howl's Moving Castle....~ ahhh~ (and yes, it's a book!)

< Had a crush on Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

V Doesn't think Anthony Stewart Head is nearly as hot as I do!

^ Would be correct. I was happy as pie when his character got killed off in Merlin. (Sorry.)

< Is baking Christmas cookies all week for a grand total of 12 different types of cookies to give as gifts.

v Has finished all their holiday shopping. (And if not... @.@)

^I have! But I still need to knit scarf and finish a broach. X_X
< In the past five months, only two days has she had unpainted nails
v Likes amusing pictures of cats

^ that is a major understatement... The jury is still out on whether www.cuteoverload.com will be banned from my laptop or not...
< PEABERT MADE ME A PINK TOTORO!!!!!!!! SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!
v ahem. Likes wrapping presents and knows the secret art of ninja wrapping?

^ If ninja wrapping involves far too much tape, some "creative" folding and a few tears (and tears) here and there... then yes!!

< Has done zero gift-getting... effing finals.

V Is one of those non-Christmasy folk u_u

^ Ahhh, you do know the secret art of ninja wrapping! And nope, I'm extremely Christmas-y! :) I love Christmas, we don't have our tree yet because we always wait until right before Christmas and leave it up until the official end of the Christmas Season which is actually Feb 2nd. :)
< Not getting individual presents this year, enjoying food, and having stockings and maybe one big family present but nothing else. It just seems more stress-free and family oriented without all the commercialism. :)
V Paints their nails frequently?
