Next Person Game, Part II

The old thread was getting long. For those of you who need a refresher on the rules, it's simple. I'll make a prediction about something "the next person" does, thinks, says, etc. You (as "the next person") will respond, then you'll make your own prediction about the next person after you. So, for example, the last post on the old thread was:

The next person will start a new thread for this topic because this one is getting very full.

I just did that! So, the next person . . .

Finished some sort of project today.

(Now you do one!)

Yes! I did.
The next person could use a few dashes of ginger to wake them up.

Nope, but I could use a dash on my name badge at work - they forgot it when they made it. :(

The next person needs coffee to wake them up.

God bless coffee and every last drop of caffeine in it.

The next person forgot to water their houseplants.

Houseplants? Oh, shoot! *flees the computer, waters the * - opps, my grandmother threw it out a while ago because it died.

The next person is so cold they're shivering. (Go put on a sweater!)

Not quite shivering, but my fingers and toes are a bit chilly (I should put on some socks).

The next person is going somewhere warm for Christmas or New Year's.

(Put on some socks, foggi! :)

Well, cold is relative. I have had to finally get out a jacket. It is in the 60's during the day. Nice and cool. Perfect!

The next person is reading a really good book tonight.

all books are really good! The next person is addressing cards

Only when I'n not getting cold from it.

The person below me believes there is life on other planets.

Well duh! Who do you think built the pyramids. ;o)

The next person would really like to be an archaeologist...like Indiana Jones.

I've never given it much thought. Young Harrison Ford and Sean Connery, though. Yummy.

The next person is annoyed that it isn't colder for the holidays.

well, all our snow has been melting, so it's really wet outside.

the next person still needs to buy over half their gifts (I've been busy, so I haven't been shopping)

No I've got my gifts but the next person is stumped by a difficult person to buy for

The next person is heart broken ='-)

Only in the general and ongoing sense.

The next person likes those page-a-day calendars, and hopes to get one for Christmas.

I would love to get a page-a-day calendar, but I know that I would get busy and forget to tear off the day for days at a time....the next person doesn't own a watch or a calendar and lives in their own time...

I dont have a watch, but I have a calender.

the next person does not want to wait another second for christmas:)

I'm definitely ready for the break from work (I've been certain it's Friday for the past three days) but I need more time to finish some presents I'm making (cross stitch ornaments for my neices and nephews).

The next person knows which word I misspelled and how to spell it correctly. ;)

It was eighty-nine on Monday, then ninety-one on Tuesday...this weekend it will be ninty-two, and after that? Let's just say I usually get one or more bookstore giftcards for Christmas.

The next person checks books out at a library instead of buying them all.

I could never afford my current reading habit if I had to buy all of the books I read!

The next person plays video games often.

Unfortunately, it has become a new hobby for me. My husband bought himself Rock Band the day it came out, and he's gotten me hooked.

The next person had/is having something really good for dinner.

The next person is totally caught up on every thread in HE and never misses ever ever.

The next person posts on at least three other groups here on LT.

That would be me. I may be new, but I've jumped right in and I'm posting all over the place. (And for some reason I'm addicted to this NPG...)

the next person gets at least one new ornament every year.

The next person fell over when the realized that AR didn't know who George was!

The next person would like to take a nice hot bath right now.

I almost fell over. How could you not know who he is??? I already took a shower today so I'm clean. It's not even that cold outside. Today it was 75. Sounds like Christmas, doesn't it? ;)

But the next person has to stay up late into the night to wrap presents and put them under the tree while their kids are sleeping. (I know my parents do)

The next person would like to learn another language that's a dead language.

I'd like to pick up my ancient Greek again -- took it in college, but have lost it through disuse. I'd like to learn Latin, too, but right now I'd mainly like to learn Russian, which is (obviously) not a dead language.

Did that answer the question? ;-)

The next person speaks at least two languages fluently.

Not me at all. I can barely speak one as it is! (I actually want to learn Latin REALLY badly too right now)

The next person has always had artificial Christmas trees, not live ones.

No, I remember real trees when I was little. I am done with the holidays, News years has never been big to me, I used to try and celebrate big and something always happened, I would be sick or something, one year just as I was leaving, I heard that a good freind had died in a car wreck, spoiled those plans!

Crossword puzzles are kind of fun as long as they're not too hard. The next person likes real trees better than fake ones.

The next person prefers Pepsi over Coke.

icky, I don't like either.

*hug back* you're such a good friend! *tear*

You're also a good friend!

The next person prefers salty things (potato chips, popcorn, etc.) to ice cream.

Yes, I can easily down a pint of ice cream...it's a great comfort food. LOL

No, I really can't stand rye bread, unless the rye is in some sort of multi-grain bread. Speaking of bread, the next person loves tuna melt sandwiches, especially when the cheese is all gooey and the tuna gets barely warm...(mmmm...now I'm making myself hungry.)

Blah!! I can't stand canned tuna! Sick.

The next person has caught crab with their bare hands. (I'm talking about the edible size, not the small ones under rocks)

Wow, you're making me hungry too! But I haven't had a tuna melt in a long time. Oops, too slow! No, never caught crab, though I've chased my share of crayfish.

The next person has been to Disney World.

Nope...never had the urge to go there even.

*shrieks*

"I'M GONNA MURDER YOU KER BEAR!!"

*runs after Kerian*

polly starts drying up the water on the floor

Ekk!

*runs away from suge*

wait why are we even running?

*pulls out wand and uses the tripping jinx on kerian*

*feels bad so she conjures an air mattress to catch her*

*trips*
Ack.

Thanks for the mattress.

Polly conjures up a comfy armchair and a bowl of popcorn as she sits to watch suge and kerian

*attempts to sneak away from the air mattress and make a run for it*

This is entertaining...where's a footstool for this computer? Hey Polly, you think if we made ourselves invisible and dumped water on them, it would start another spectacle? Let's try it!

But what is the next person?

STOP right there K! Fair play here!

Amature.

*hits k with the tickling charm*

oh... so you like throwing buckets of water at people...

the next person is invisible

Oh no!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Wow, have I always been invisible?)

Well it's about time the Next Person thread broke down into chaos! Steals some of polly's popcorn.

The next person hates popcorn

I want some!
Accio popcorn! Mwahhaaahhaaa!!!!

HAHAHAHA!

Seriously!

(Popcorn and I have a love-hate relationship.)

I would, but I don't know the counter curse!
i'll just take my sweet time looking it up...

*lifts charm before k pisses on herself*

Hey! what's wrong w/ the popcorn?

thank you suge...that would have been nasty, and I hate being janitor.

other than it gets stuck in your teeth? nothing I guess..

wheres my popcorn?

How can anyone hate popcorn? Tiny little explosives of fun!

The next person gets distracted easily.

Gez, suge.

Well, thank you!

Nonsense I don't get distracted! now what was I looking for? *scratches head*

*Throws popcorn at polly.*
Now I'm afraid to turn in for the night. There could be 100 post on here by morning. It's all I can do to keep up with this chatty group!

Nope, I don't think any one here gets distracted. Not possible.

the next person is not sarcastic. at all.

oh yeah * Polly pulls popcorn out of hair* hm Don't think I'll eat this now. *looks at k panting on the floor and suge's complacently smug face* Guess the funs over. I'm going to bed.night

night!

Suge! Kerian! What are you two doing with the popcorn?!?! I don't think popcorn fights are too effective. Correct me if I'm wrong.

As my 5yo told her brother recently, "Of course I know what sarcasm is! What, do you think I wasn't born?"

Night night polly! I'm calling it a night as well!

The next person is hoping someone will stay up and play.

*out of breath*



Polly I caught this guy trying to do away with your popcorn! The nerve!

*zaps lunatic with her wand, once for each word*

You. dont. steal. my. friends'. popcorn. or. anything. for. that. matter.

Good night, polly! :)

A_R, just throwing it.

*drops a bowl of popcorn on suge*

See?

Good night, juggling! :)

Wow, I turn around for one minute and popcorn fights break out on a formerly calm and on-topic thread!

And I must say (#319-321) that you guys know me far too well.

The next person doesn't want to be responsible for cleaning up this mess. ;-)

Question: what's a duplicating spell? That way, we can duplicate the popcorn so much we can fill a special, "popcorn throwing and otherwise dueling room" with it.

The sheer madness of that man, to steal THE popcorn?!?! I'm glad you caught him suge!

How true, to foggi's question.

The next person likes a bit of chaos every now and again on threads.

Actually, I really do.

The next person meant to go to bed some time ago, but got distracted by this thread.

Yep. I think it's time to go back to bed.

The next person was sleeping when I posted this.

The next person wanted to get at least 8 hours sleep but didn't.

I don't know, I haven't gone to bed yet.

the next person has had to change the covers of some of their books on LT because the one that shows automatically is not the one on the actual book.

The next person just finished a book they would recommend to anyone who asked.

I haven't had any time to read lately.

I like the idea...but I don't take them to heart.

I have 27 ish cousins

the next person has been on LT for more then a year.

uh uh

the next person will start with a question

what kind of question? The next person is confused about where this thread is going

I have absolutely no clue where this thread is going, but that's okay. The next person is sad because they have to go back to work tomorrow, so won't have time to finish the book they're reading.

Does the thread have to go anywhere? I do have to go back to work tomorrow, but only for half a day. I've started the LotR reread that I've been promising myself, so it's not like I'm reading something I can't put down, anyway.

The next person has never read the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

the next person listens to muggle cast or potter cast

More times than I can count.

The next person knows when the release date for the Prince Caspian movie is.

OH! I just saw the preview for it last Friday! Shoot! what was the release date.........16 May 2008!!

The next person is looking forward to a book release in the next month or two.

Hmmm . . . Inside Prince Caspian by Devin Brown was theoretically released today, but I think it's not actually available yet, as Amazon is still saying it won't ship for a few weeks. (Dr. Brown, apart from being quite a good writer, was one of my college professors, so I keep an eye out for his books when they come out.)

The next person is going to come join me in the chatroom for a while. (Hint, hint!)

Edited for typos

I actually didn't because I was at work. Hope someone joined you, foggi! :)

The next person has already finished reading a book this new year.

does it count if I was half-way through at the end of last year?

the next person made were they were in between books at the end of last year.

Sadly, no. I usually do! I was about twenty pages short of finishing one book (I'll count as a 2007 read) and twenty-four pages into another (which I'll count as a 2008 read).

The next person wishes they didn't stay up so late the night of January 1st/2nd after having most likely stayed up late the night before.

Yeeeeeeesssss! *Groan* I'm tired, and now I have to go to work.

The next person will participate in our Goblet of Fire group reread.

absolutely! the next person is desperately reading GoF to get done in time

Furiously.

The next person keeps looking around and getting pissed off everytime they remember they're at work and the only holiday is on the 21st. I CANT BELIEVE I HAVE TO WORK TODAY!!!

Sure. Do I get that day off? Probably not!

The next person had coffee today.

I have coffee every day, even when I have a UTI and shouldn't drink it.

(btw, I went to the doctor this morning to get some nice antibiotics. Cranberry juice just wasn't cutting it.)

The next person has never had a UTI.

I'm not even sure what it means.

The next person will tell me what it means unless they want to post a random thought about the book they're reading.

UTI=Urinary tract infection and it's no fun at all.

Random thought: Lily Dale is insufferable!

The next person knows who Lily Dale is.

Editing, because I'm not quick enough when the touchstones aren't playing nicely...

I'm leaving the rest of my message because I like it.

Maybe I want to do both...is that allowed? *wink*

UTI is urinary tract infection. *shudder*

I just picked back up The Florabama Ladies' Auxiliary and Sewing Circle that I put down to read the books from my SantaThing. I'm quite entranced by the characters thus far (I'm only a few chapters in) and I hope they stay entertaining.

(Bah! touchstones don't work for that one unless I use "and" in the title name, but the touchstone comes up using the & in the title....crazy!)

I have no clue who Lily Dale is.

The next person gets very aggravated when touchstones don't play nicely.

I don't know who Lily Dale is.

Yep, I was struggling with touchstones last night on a thread I created right after I joined the fifty book challenge.

The next person is also in the fifty book challenge.

nope i'm doing my own thingie because once I feel like I have to do something I dont want to do it anymore. make sense. no? I know.

Nope, but the next person is.

434--> Nope, but the NEXT person is...

just in case... the next person is completely hooked on the Georgia Nicolson books.

Nope, but funny enough, someone just recommended them to me.

The next person either is

A) Littlegeek (read post #433),

or

B) has at least one unread comment on their profile page.

Hey, I actually had to get a little work done! ;-)

Lily Dale is the heroine of The Small House at Allington. SPOILERS - She gets jilted so her guy can marry an earl's daughter, and she spends the rest of the book still worshipping this jerk, saying she will love him forever, and will let no one say a word against him in her earshot. She not only martyrs herself to someone she only knew for a few weeks, but lords it over her whole family, expecting them to kowtow to her insanity forever. Which they do.

The book is great, she's just insufferable.

The next person also loves Victorian novels.

Ooh, another entry on my TBR list! (So I guess that's a yes.)

The next person reads more non-fiction than fiction.

The next person catalogs all of the books they read, even if they don't own them.

GASP! Never! The stuff I have catalogued is what I own.

Sigh. Yes, still plugging away. It's my breaktime now tho.

The next person still hasn't bought a new calendar for 2008.

Nope, but I used to play that on one of my old computers all the time.

The next person is on winter break.

Oh I love pinball! I used to be pretty good at a Twilight Zone pinball game in my old neighborhood. And I am not on winter break. Moms don't get winter break. :o)

Home from work sick, so the only reason I'm happy it's Friday (and that I'm home) is that I'll be able to watch the World Junior Hockey semi finals.

The next person is secretly a sports fan.

Edit: Wow, way too slow!

TGIF! I'm off work tomorrow, so can get my hair cut and do some work around the house.

I don't really care about sports -- and that's no secret!

The next person's least-favorite chore is doing the dishes.

I love doing the dishes, but my hands are allergic to the dishwashing soap, and do I wear gloves when I wash the dishes? No. I should take better care of them! The winter isn't being kind to my skin, either.

The next person is reading a book by an author that is new to them.

Well, it's the second book I've read by this author, but since I just got the first book from my SantaThing, I'd say it's a new author.

The next person just had a chocolate.

On an LT thread. Wish I could have really! No, I still need breakfast.

The next person is hungry.

No, I just had lunch.

The next person would rather vacation in the mountains than near the ocean.

sorry, luv em both, but the water's where my heart lies.

Nope.

The next person's last vacation was to a different country.

Or a different world (Disneyland, fourteen years ago).

The next person has vacationed more recently than me.

heck yeah.
the next person has vacationed more than K.

It sounds like Kerian hasn't vacationed much, so I'd say I probably have. 3 vacations last year: FIRST Robotics Championship event in Atlanta, GA (help mentor a high school team so it wasn 't much of a vacation), 5th anniversary trip to Stratford, ON, and Denver, CO for Thanksgiving/niece's 2nd birthday. Maybe the trip to my in-laws cottage counts too, as we ignored the cottage and went to many (MANY!) local wineries.

The next person drinks local wines.

Nope, but I listen to local whines. (My kid sister is twelve and does this all the time.)

The next person is at work.

I should be at work, but I'm home sick. I actually should log into work and do some so I don't have to take today as a sick day (plus I promised I'd do some usage tracking stuff. Sigh.)

The next person works from home.

Yes I do. I'm a homemaker.

The next person prefers checking out books from the library to owning them.

i like owning books better

the next person has a relative on LT

Two actually. My mother and my daughter.

The next person had a very long, tiring day.

I didn't do much of anything all day. I stayed home from work sick. I slept. I watched some TV. I played on LibraryThing. I'm exhausted, and think I will go back to bed soon.

The next person owns a video game system.

not really particularly long or short... too slow.
No, I don't own a video game system. I'm too bookish for that!
The next person has broken their back, literally.

i have ot broken any bone or gotten stitches or anything

the next person is going somewhere fun tomarow

kind of...not really though.
The next person is bored right now, but should be doing something else, nontheless.

How could I be bored? I'm on LT (tired though)!

The next person is reading a really great book right now...

Yes!!! What are you reading that made you say that?
The next person has had a favorite stuffed animal, or still does.

Yep -- a little light-brown dog called Sally. I always was a dog person . . .

The next person is sleeping in tomorrow.

I actually am...6:30 am wake up!!! That's sleeping in for me.
The next person is not an early bird.

yah i made my bear candy at buils a bear :)
the next person is still a little sad that no more hp books are coming out. ( i mean in the series not the biography.........and my fun place is Disneyland tomarow..... see post #501)

Have FUN!!!!

ETA: i am REALLY sad there are no follow-ups to the hp series. :'(

The next person can go eight minutes without blinking. (can you tell I am easily entertained?)

I don't think I want to try that...my contacts would really dry out and then my eyes would bother me and turn red and it wouldn't be a pretty site. *shudder*

the next person remembers their dreams

Sometimes...

The next person has woken up laughing, crying, or screaming from a dream.

Random question: When you were all kids, did you have dreams that would be include going to your parent's room? I'm just wondering how common this is...since I used to get those dreams.

I have woken up crying but thats it. I didnt have dreams that would make me go to my parents, but I could always tell when my light was turned off or my doors were closed and I hated it when those things happened. (I was chlostrophbic and scared of the dark)

the next person hates tea, in any way shap or form.

Never! I love tea.

The next person bought (or will buy) a new book today.

No. I bought a new book on Thursday though. It's called Here, There Be Dragons.

The next person has an interesting talent.

I can write mirror image exceptionally well (and without looking in a mirror while I'm writing that way).

The next person has another interesting talent.

I can comfortably tuck my feet behind my head. I weird out my brother (hee hee).

The next person is also extremely flexible.

She is extremely flexible. She gets that from me. :o) Although I can't do the contortions she can.

The next person has an excellent memory.

Nope. People with fused spines aren't as flexible as the rest of you.

Yep! People argue with me about things I remember, especially one of my sisters. I think the reason I can remember things so well is she forgets things after only a week. ;)

The next person likes to draw.

I LOVE drawing!

The next person would like to have shelves on every wall in their house.

Wouldn't we all? :)

The next person has to clean today.

already done, except the dishes the next person needs to go clothes shopping

already done -- the not-fun kind of clothes shopping (of course, I'm not a big fan of clothes shopping anyway).

The next person is staying in tonight.

I have to work from six to ten so technically I'm not staying in, the enxt person is going out big tonight

sorry, in for an LT night in, unless someone meets me in the chatroom.

the next person has fun in the chatroom on their own by messing around with dobby;)

I cant go in the chatroom

the next persons feet hurt

Yup, so much that it hurts to walk.

The next person is already counting down to the next Harry Potter Movie.

Not yet, but thanks to you I will be now. I can't wait!

The next person knows how to count to ten in more than one language.

yup, english, french and Irish. I used to be able to do it in korean but i forgot it.

the next person is in more than one group.

I'm in six.

The next person has ever been to Hungary.

I have been to Hungary! Budapest in particular. Beautiful place, home of my ancestors. Had a little tipping problem though (my husband managed to tip a bellhop a penny.)

The next person has been to France.

i have only been to Nevada

the next person hates licorice red or black

Love the red, hate the black.
The next person has seen a Shakespeare play live...

sorry, but i have been in one.

the next person has heard of mark twaine

Of course! Who hasn't! The next person would like to be a member of the "slugclub"

yerwhat!?
the next person used to have a sega mega drive.

Shanfan, sweetie, if you are going to post in this group you REALLY need to read the books. The "Slugclub" is from book 6, and Polly, I'd have to say that dealing with slug would be asking too much for me to be in that club.

No, I never had a sega. And yes, I am right handed. The next person currently owns at least one type of gaming system, however.

edited for a late entry.

I have a xbox at moms getting a wii at dads and already have a ps2 at my dads

the next person is a righty

indeed i am
Ps/: please dont call me "sweetie" meg

the next person is tired

I am tired but i would rather be here than sleep :)

ok again is the next person right handed

I'm left-handed, but I can fool people when I use a fork and a knife easily.

The next person read at least forty books last year.

I'm left-handed too!
I just counted them up, and I read at least 64 books. There might be more I forgot.

The next person is also left handed.

nope im right handed

the next person is multitaking on the computer:)

i'm a guy so i cant multitask anyway. especialy not on a pc.

the next person has siblings.

yup, two: a younger sister and a younger brother.

the next person always reads his/her horoscope.

no i never do

the next person is not double jointed

If you call that twisty hand thing I can do double jointed...

The next person knows what movie my profile picture is from without any help. (MrsGrinch you can't answer)

Yep, I am not double jointed. *shudder* I had a friend in high school who was, and it would gross me out.

The next person is grossed out by the sight of blood.

I think the rose is from Phantom of the Opera, but am not sure.

I'm not grossed out by a little blood (somebody's skinned knee, for example), but dislike large amounts of it in gory movies (so I usually don't watch them.)

The next person doesn't know enough of Aladdin to participate on that thread.

Yes foggi it is Phantom.

I am participating to the best of my ability, I know quite a lot of that movie.

The next person thinks they could participate on another whole-movie-quote thread if they chose the movie.

Quite possibly, though it's true I really cut down on watching movies during the fall and still haven't been watching that many.

The next person has watched the one of The Lord of the Rings movies at least three times.

I've probably watched all of them at least three times. Right now I'm rereading the books, because I don't want to forget what's in the books in favor of what's in the movies.

The next person owns more than two house plants.

Um, no. I can handle pets, but I think I'd kill a house plant.

The next person a is capable of taking care of a house plant without killing it.

i have never tried

the next person is eating a candycane

wish I was.

the next person owns three+clocks.

One on my bedroom wall, one beside my bed, one in my cell phone, the watch I normally wear, and the watch I got for Christmas. Otherwise, there's one in the livingroom, one above the fridge in the kitchen, and the one on the microwave.

The next person doesn't wear a watch.

If you count my watch and the one on my microwave, yes. Too slow! I usually wear a watch, but carry it around in my pocket right now because the band is broken.

The next person loves swimming.

I have three clocks on my desk at work but two are actually digital timers...

(And since I'm just now catching up with this thread I HAVE to mention that not only do I love watching the Tournament of Roses Parade on TV, this year I got to see it live - WOOHOO!! And what's the deal with the scary popcorn guy??? EEEK!!! And am I allowed to put an official ban on "The next person is going to bed/should be in bed/wants to be sleeping" because it's been used WAY too many times!)

The next person thinks this thread is too massive and that we should start a "Next Person Game Part 3" thread.....

I guess so. Why not.

The 'Next Person Game, Part III' thread is here.
