1. Those paper toilet seat covers in public bathrooms, do you use them? Occasionally. Though I only see them in malls nowadays.

2. What is on your Christmas Wish List for Santa to bring? A keyboard so I can pretend like I’m good at piano. A new laptop (with dvd player). Other things which you can check out at my wishlist at amazon. Beware some dating…it has been a while since I put anything on there. But believe me…I want what’s there!

3. In the month of November, Brian wrote over 50,000 words on his novel and is nearing completion. What did you accomplish in the month of November? Shoot. Wish I had done that. I completed 6 months at this lab…does that count? I read a heck of a lot of books.

4. Have you ever snuck into someplace that you shouldn’t have? Tell me about that. um. Not really…because I can never figure out how to do it.

5. Do you recall the first internet meme you participated in? How did you come to find out about it? Do you still participate? Why or why not? I think the first meme was this one…or possibly the friday five. I wonder what happened to the This or That Tuesday. I guess the way I found out about all of them was from links in other blogs…or links in the comment section of the respective memes…

6. Do you have any favorite internet or “streaming” radio programs or music channels you wish were available in your car or on a portable radio? Not really. I’ve never had wonderful experiences with streaming music. Although I do wish there was an actual contemporary christian radio station on the air in this area…you can only hear christian music sunday nights, late. Which is fine, but I always seem to like what they play, so it would be nice to hear that more often.

7. Ever been skinny dipping? What’s the story there? Hah. no.

BONUS: What’s cooler than being cool? Being right?

Too bad I learned about this AFTER the deadline…ah well. maybe next year. I’ll have to try another werewolf fic 😉 ha.

The Lord of the Rings Advent Calendar

This is cute. Too bad it’s not December yet!

Eep. my library books are due 1 Dec…

Disclaimer: Normally I don’t like slash (aka boy-boy love) fics, but the artist who designed this quiz does wonderful manipulations using LotR characters, so if this bothers you, obviously don’t click. But I’m just admiring in the artisitic sense…whee creativity!

You are Estel.

1. It is a lovely 21 degrees here in Oklahoma, and since walking in from the parking lot, I can’t seem to warm up. I’ve got the coffee to my right and the space heater to the left and the non-functional central heat blowing above me. What do you do to get warm when you are very cold? Cuddle up with a blanket, or if I’m at work, grab another sweatshirt. I’m almost always prepared for cold, since I almost always seem to *be* cold.

2. What is the first thing you do in the morning after you get up? Grumble about it, hit the snooze alarm. Or if I’m being responsible, use the restroom, turn on the news, and get dressed. Didn’t you want to know that?

3. I mentioned earlier in the week that Sub Hunt was one of the first arcade games I ever remember playing. Many years later I would become equally entranced by the Atatri 2600 (ugh, I am showing my age now, aren’t I?). Do you remember the very first video game you ever played (arcade, handheld, console, etc.)? What do you remember about that experience? I’m guessing that the first game I played was Asteroids in an arcade format, I think one of my friends had a game in their basement…either that or my cousin’s orange and grey Nintendo with Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. I was good at Duck Hunt.

4. Do you have a good memory or do you find that you need to write things down to remember them? I have a good memory once things have gotten into it…but I usually have to write things down to make sure that I’ve got everything taken care of.

5. I am currently really getting a kick out of the Citibank Citicard commercials about Identity theft, to the point of quoting them out loud (which no one gets, I really need new some geeky-er friends). What are some of your all-time favorite television commercials? Er. Commercials for movies I like? The Budweiser “Great Men of Genius” radio commercials are a favorite…M&Ms commercials, I guess…Commercials with good music always catch my eye (and my ear)…usually car commercials.

6. Since Thanksgiving is this week, I felt like I just had to throw in the obligatory food question, so here goes. Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving food that is made by one person, and no one makes it better? If not, then what is your favorite food to eat at Thanksgiving? (Those who don’t celebrate Thanksgiving feel free to insert your favorite fall food) Well, my grandmother and my mother both make chicken&dumplings with the same recipie but they don’t taste the same. Not that one is better than the other, just different. But I can’t make it like either of them can. And this isn’t really fall food, but no one can make egg rolls like my dad. And favorite food for thanksgiving is probably my grandma’s stuffing and real gravy. Whee tryptophan!

7. Wireless telephone companies will now let you move your cell number to another carrier, or move your land line number to your cell. Not only is this incredibly convenient, it forces cell phone companies to be more competitive. Are you planning to switch cell phone companies as a result of this new law, or possibly pit two companies against each other for a better deal? You mean on my non-existant cell phone? There are definitely times when I wish I had one, but it seems more trouble than it’s worth.

BONUS: Where? On a farm. In a day!
