Fun thread Frosty! Not sure I'd want to do the description thread from the point of view of TMI in terms of protecting real identities, although I definitely get the appeal.
If you could be a celebrity for a month, who would you be?
Sandra Bullock, she seems like a really down to earth, geniunely nice person. And I’d like to try a month of being drop-dead gorgeous.
2.) What is your favorite beverage? Water doesn't count.(did we have that question already?)
Margherita (Mixed drink) Blue Moon (beer) Coke Zero (soda) Twinings Earl Grey (Tea) I picked a drink in each class, sneaky aren’t I?
3.) What was the last movie you watched? Last song you listened to?
Last movie: High Fidelity (a favorite which I watch every so often) Kainoa by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
4.) Is there a movie you know the lines to?
Lots of them! My family has a thing for incorportating movie lines into our family. Addams Family is one that we love. Actually we have the Addams family motto “Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.” stenciled in gothic lettering on the wall of our family great room. It means “We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.” And as they say in the movie “not just pretty words.” Have I mentioned my family has a slighty twisted sense of humor? And Frosty, add in Lord of the Rings for me too. Actually embarrassingly enough, I have whole chucks memorized from the book.
5.) Are you pierced or do you have tattoos?
No tatttoos, double pierced in each earlobe. (First in fourth grade, the second wa a 39th birthday present from my daughters. An attempt to impart some particle of coolness to their mother I suspect.)
6.) Do you have a soul (as in do you believe we have one)?
Aboslutely yes, not sure what kind of shape it’s in, but that’s my fault, not the Creator of it.
7.) What is your favorite female name? male?
Evelyn is my favorite female name and my favorite male name is a toss up between Richard and Paul (ok I love the name Ian also. I am SO bad at picking ONE favorite!)
8.) Do you think most of us would actually get along in real life?
If we took the time to get to know each other the way we do here, yes. But I agree, not sure if we would have noticed each other IRL, where what we have in common tends to be under wraps. Which makes me even more grateful for this place. I never imagined I would have friends all over the planet.
9.) Do you believe in aliens?
I’m agnostic on the subject. Can’t rule out the possibility of them existing, wouldn’t be totally surrpised is they didn’t.
10.)Do you believe in ghosts?
I believe in the supernatural, not sure it includes ghosts (as in souls that linger on this plane, I believe everyone continues after death). I’m just very skeptical where it comes to ghosts.
11.)What do you do most when you are bored?
Play games on my computer.
12.)Were you popular in school? Was it important to you?
I was mid-level poplular
Wanting to be liked was important but not from a have to be in the highest ranks sort of way.
13.)Would you run from the police?
Nope.
14.)What is the worst job you've had?
Three days working in a factory that made printed circuit boards. It was hard, difficult physical labor and I got violently ill from the chemicals, then found a job working at an amusement park. On the upside, it proved inspirational for my study habits in college.
15.)A sound you love.
The voice of my T and the fountain in his office. The sounds of safety. And waves at the beach. (I told you I was bad at picking one favorite!!)
16.)A sound you hate.
Nails on a chalkboard, I literally have a physical reaction of recoil.
17.)Five living people you would like to meet.
Guy Gavriel Kay, Neal Stephenson, Jonah Goldberg, Mark Steyn, and my T in his real life
18.)Would you like to go to space?
Please, please, please, please! I’ve been reading sci-fi since fourth grade. Embarrassingly enough, I used to practice picking up stuff with my toes so I’d be more versatile in free fall.
19.)Is there a TV-show family you would like to be part of?
Gilmore Girls after Luke and Lorelai got married (don’t tell me they didn’t eventually, I will stick my fingers in my ears and go “la la la la la I can’t hear you.”) OR a crew member on the Serenity.
20.)What is your favorite store?

It's actually quite boring DF; ah the dreams of youth!
Fast food employee, stocker at an amusement park, peer counselor and tutor, design engineer, full time mom, and technical writer. Nothing very exotic at all.

hm...so far no tattoos...are we *all* "good girls"...? all right, forum...'fess up!
sizes are so strange here. they vary greatly from store to store. A size zero at Banana Republic is a size 4 at Anthropolgie and a size 8 at Guess.

Okay. Got it in my Army days.
A dagger with a rose wrapped around it. Left shoulder blade.
I have a tattoo around my ankle that I got when I was 18. Its like a tribal thingy with flowers. I forget that I even have it until someone says something.
I've been thinking about getting another tattoo on my lower back that says, "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly" with a few butterfly's, but I feel like I can only truly get that after I've recovered from my eating disorder. Its a little cheesy, but that saying has kept me going in some difficult times.

SG! You wild woman.
LG, not cheesy at all, especially since it's helped you so much. That sounds like a very meaninful tatoo.
