State quarters, um, what else? Paper (I'm super bad at throwing paper away.)... Too many things from work...

The next person perfers self-sealing envelopes to the kind you have to moisten or (yuck!) lick.

I'll take it! except keep the kittens



the next person said "awwww!" when they say the kitties.

the next person is superstitious

nope.not a bit.
the next person is thinks that Paulo Coelho's ideas are sometimes a littel farfetched.

Who?

Unlike me, the next person is more familiar with who is who.

I can't pinpoint why but I actually really liked the book The Alchemist. I think it was just one of those books that I was reading at a time where I really needed some soul-searching and path finding. I haven't read anything else by him though.

The next person would say that they've been inspired by a book.

many times!

the next person is working on a story idea.

The next person has moved more than five times in his or her life.

The next person is reading threads from another LT group.

unfortunately.

the next person (unlike me) is enjoying a scrumptious sneaker bar so they are not craving a sneaker bar (unlike me)

(Not enjoying a snicker bar. Thanks for the chocolate craving, though. ;)

Yep, but instead it's time to leave LT because I have to go catch a bus to work in 10 minutes.

Bye, everyone!

The next person will also have to leave LT soon.

I'm done with stuff for I while, so I don't have to leave, leave.

the next person is done with school/work for the day.

Fortunately. I got home about half an hour ago, made myself dinner, and now I'm curled up with a book and LT. (What a great combination!!)

The next person is hoping it snows tomorrow.

only if I get a snow day out of it.

It's been a few years, but I used to make them all the time as a kid.

The next person likes cheese puffs.

I like nacho cheesier Doritos better.

The next person is cold right now.

I'm not cold right now, but I imagine I will be before morning. (It's supposed to go from a nice 50°F to a not-so-nice 13°F overnight, with snow.)

The next person likes this TNP game as much as I do...maybe even more!

Yes I do, probably because I know I won't ever be the one to kill the thread. *singing under breath* This is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends!

The next person recognizes the song that popped in my head.

Ack! Meg, now you've done it. It's stuck in my head. Some people starting posting on it, not knowing it was, and they'll keep right on posting on it forever...

The next person has at least one cat as a pet.

Four cats here. But they aren't pets. They own me.

Two indoor cats. I wish all but one of the visitors that come to the front porch would all go back to their homes instead of robbing me blind while I keep buying them cat food.

The next person has heard of the chip you can have put in your pet to better track it if it goes missing, but hasn't had that done to their pet.

Was too late.

When I first learned there was such a thing as a rhyming dictionary, I spent forever and a day reading it.

The next person didn't get a flu shot.

I didn't get a flu shot, but there's still time, at least according to my doctor. She also thinks because I have "asthma-like" symptoms, that I should get one. I was too sick in the fall, and just haven't since. My bad.

The next person likes limes better than lemons.

I think one is just as bad as the other.

The next person needs to go to bed. Oh wait, that's me. I need to go to bed. Lemme try again...

The next person's favorite color is green.

The next person has experienced posting too slow for this game. ;)

the next person knows how to make a tequila sunrise.

I'm assuming from the name that that includes alcohol, and I don't drink, so no.

The forms at the doctor's office need to be redone about every six month, and I was there twice in four days. Did forms once for my husband and once for me.

the next person has been to the doctor within the last week.

We don't visit doctors because we have one of those 'Doctor Mom's. (She isn't a doctor, but I swear she knows everything.)

The next person wishes they had a snow day (even if they are a working adult) so they could go home and/or play in the snow or get some rest.

I wish I had a snow day so I could catch up on HE threads!

The next person is totally caught up and knows everything about everyone on HE. S/He will be known as Gossip Queen!

Um. I'm caught up on all of the recent threads now but I still don't really know what's going on. Curse my lack of short term memory!
What were we talking about?

The next person has named their computer.

This computer is too well-behaved to need a name, but the last one I had was called Poor Tom (yes, after the character in King Lear). It had crazy spells.

The next person has named their car -- or would, if they had a car.

We've always named the family cars:
Green monster - green suburban
Jelly bean- green subaru
Pick up- white pick-up truck, not original, I know.
Ukon- tan Ukon car, named after "Ukon Cornelius" in Rudolph. My mom wanted the car's name to be Cornelius, but she was voted no.

The next person has named something else most people don't.

House plants?

The next person doesn't tag using TBR (to be read).

I'm guilty of the TBR tag. ;)

The next person likes to give/receive thumbs ups on LT book reviews.

I do, I do!

Ummmm....the next person does not feel any guilt whatsoever when they have way too many HE threads to read and yet are over at the GD making fun of Twilight readers. (But I did defend Robert Pattison!)

I almost never go over to the GD, I have a hard enough time keeping up with the posts here.

the next person got snow today/last night.

Still snowing at the moment.

The next person has seen a weasel.

My sister used to have a ferret. Does that count?

The next person swears that s/he has heard trees talk on occasion.

No, never trees. Right now, I swear that this stack (mound) of papers on my desk is taunting me, though.

The next person is thinking about fajitas for dinner.

Well, one of my favorite places to hang out is the arboretum near where I live and on a windy day in the fall you really can pretend to hear voices among the blowing leaves....that doesn't mean I'm crazy does it?

*doh! too slow*

I had enchilads last night so Mexican twice in a row would be a bit much.

The next person likes nature and outdoorsy stuff.

Oh yes! And today we actually got pictures of the eagles at the nature center. Yay!

The next person likes hiking, but not camping.

Other white meat? A cat?!

The next person will tell me this simply isn't so!

*drops to the floor*

Oh crap. Sorry K!
Where are those blasted smelling salts!

K, I didn't mean it! I swear! I love cats with my whole being! I just said that because my dad feels the same way, and I wondered if others did!

IT ISN'T SO K!!! CATS ARE WONDERFUL!

the next person is cooking dinner....(not cat meat!)

you're not really helping Polly!
Nope, not cooking dinner right now.

The next person is happy for winter.

While I enjoy winter, I think I like spring best.

The next person is a hockey fan.

ice hockey is probably my favorite sport to watch live (though i'd take a single red sox game over a full season of any hockey team's).

the next person arranges their physical bookshelves based on a printout from LT.

the next person knows what Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet" was about.

Sorry, no. Feel free to inform us.

The next person is going to be watching the super bowl today. Even if it is just to see the cool commercials or half time show.

it's about elvis. kind of a fab song, one of my karaoke favorites :)

i *wish* i would be watching the game; i'm from new england and wanna see my boys win. BUT, i have to work, so my colleague and i will be listening and hoping no one comes into the store so we can sneak glances at the TV when it's commercial time...

the next person wants to suggest songs for downloading from iTunes!

Right now, I really love listening to "Gunpowder & Lead" by Miranda Lambert. It really is a kick @$$ song. Also, Trace Atkins, Garth Brooks, Martina McBride, Alison Krause. I'm a country girl.

*BTW, aglaia, I'm originally from NE, too. Go Pats! Hope you get to watch some of the game.

The next person cares more about what time the House episode will be airing AFTER the Super Bowl.

I've never seen house and the superbowl isn't on in England. I'm not even sure what sport is played at the superbowl.

I'm watching a programme called 'Come Dine With Me' about five people who take it in turns to host a competitive dinner party and hope to win £1000.

the next person went shoping at the mall yesterday

The next person did buy some books and also a gift for someone they love.

the next pedrson likes cool old houses.

Yeah! I want one. Of course, I have to get a job first . . .

The next person wants to tell us about a good book they're reading right now!

I have just started my book so I haven't got much to tell yet. It is called The State of the Union by Douglas Kennedy and so far all I have read is the first couple of pages and it seems to be about a young woman called Hannah, who has radical parents but wants a normal life herself.

I've just got to a bit where her father seems to be having an affair and her mother has lost her contract for an art exhibition. From the back of the book I am expecting Hannah to break the law somehow but hide the secret for years (it's the sixties at the moment) until the events of 9/11 force the truth to come out.

The next person has also read a book by Douglas Kennedy.

I've never read anything by Douglas Kennedy. It does sound like it could be an interesting book that you're reading, though, Jody. Maybe I'll have to try it.

The next person is excited that the Puppy Bowl is in High Definition...

What is a puppy bowl, because I'm assuming you don't mean a dog dish. Kidding - I'm sure you mean the super bowl - um, high definition doesn't matter to me, I hate sports.

The next person either watched the 'puppy bowl' or knows someone who did.

I didn't and I'm not sure if anyone I know did (though I suspect at least one of my sisters did).

the Puppy Bowl is on Animal Planet k (you do know what that is right?). It's very cute puppies (the baby dog kind) being adorable.

the next person doesn't know who won the Super Bowl.

Well, I'm pretty sure it was either the Giants or the Patriots . . . (though until this morning I didn't even know that was who would be playing) so, no, I don't.

The next person knits.

Nope, no knitting for me.

Oh, and the Giants won. 17-14 They pulled it out in the fourth quarter.

The next person has seen a preview for a movie that is coming out that they would like to see.

#98 --> Um, opps. I don't watch tv. Can you tell? ;)

(I'm letting the next person respond to #99 because we have enough knitters and I haven't knitted anything yet. :)

I'm pretty excited about Prince Caspian, which I saw the preview for a while back.

The next person knows how to ride a horse.

Ooh I just saw that tonight Foggi and I am very excited.

The next person has ridden an elephant (I have done that twice)

The next person has owned a pair of shoes that didn't need to be tied.

I went shopping for Manolos once, does that count? (The shoes were to die for.)

The next person has no idea who Manolo is.

(Suge has been busy the last few days and probably really needed her nap yesterday. ;)

I've never heard of Manolo.

The next person is wondering where everyone is today because it's so quiet.

yeah, but I'm using it to catch up on threads. I still have too much work to do but I'm just not into it.

The next person has really cute cats and is not at all jealous of the "show us your pets" thread.

Yep. Seems like I'm always here to wonder that, when it's quiet.

Oops, I was too slow! I don't need cute cats, I have a cute dog.

The next person doesn't really like Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is redundant when you're married to my hubby. He's nice to me everyday and he brings me all manner of random cool presents.

The next person is happy and single.

I could do without that holiday very easily.

Too slow.

Yes, happy and single.

The next person hates getting pinched on St. Patrick's day.

Yeah, another stupid holiday.

Next time hum it lg, you'll get an answer quicker!

The next person was wondering what happened to the next person and impossible questions threads.

Holy moley! Love pb, No party. As I was saying...

The next person is working on a Valentine gift and that's why they haven't been posting as much here.

I normally give Valentine gifts to my immediate family but as my sisters never eat the candy I look so hard to find for them I'm feeling discouaged. (On year I even did this for them when I was so sick I could hardly stand without falling, and a year later I found one of my sister's candy untouched - that really hurt.) They all need work done on their teeth anyways, as does my mom.

The next person has read Inkheart.

I'm afraid I haven't, but I've heard it's very good.

The next person has read Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder

Kinda, but there's nothing that I want to see right now.

The next person has drunk A TON of hot chocolate today.

oops, too slow.
I like any chedar...a lot of it.

Not one drop of hot choclate has gon into my mouth in a long time.

The next person has a slow computure

Only because my kid sister downloaded things because she keeps using our mother's desktop instead of her own. I'm mad at my mom for giving my kid sister her password. It takes away the whole point of child protection features that she wanted in effect for her, as well as slowly killing the computer.
(Sorry for ranting!)

The next person doesn't have to worry about another person doing damage to the computer.

I only let Letta and Reena use my computer, and they are good about not messing it up. I just have to worry about my stupid internet connection.

No mickey mouse, but I do have winnie the pooh and eyeore on my bed. they are the disney version, but I figure that desn't count since I loved the originals much more, and from much earlier.

The next person is nearly ready to go home.

Alas, I wish that were the case so I could go home and eat breakfast. Instead I already am home and am waiting for an incredibly unpleasant person to leave the kitchen so I can stop being so hungry.

The next person didn't realize today is National Pancake Day.

The next person has read at least five books this year.

I have read way more than five this year

The next person has a pet peave that drives them crazy

The next person has a pet sitting with them at the computer.

the next person has a cat that will sit on thier shoulder

No, my cats generally will not sit on my shoulder. Occasionally White will sit curl up on me (but more likely my husband), with a preferred spot of chest, but Brown doesn't like to be held at all. Sometimes if I'm lucky she'll curl up right up against me, though. (Their real names are Charlie and Lena, but a lot of times we just call them White (or White Boy) and Brown (or Brownie).)

The next person had multiple nicknames for a beloved pet, just like me.

I have so many nicknames for each of our cats, I wouldn't be able to write them all here. One of our cats is Rosie. Her nicknames are:
Rosie Posie
Rosie Posie Pudding and Pie
Rosie Pudding
Rosita Linda (roughly translated as Spanish for "pretty little rose")
Psycho Kitty
Foo-foo Kitty

The next person has a project to do this weekend.

Yes and no i got it wensday and it is due some time in may! Huge project on civil disobedience!!

the next person likes dark chocolate better than milk chocolate.

the next person knows what a 'webkins' is.

the next person cooks or prepares lunch for the next day the night before...

if by "prepares lunch" you mean, "scouts out leftovers in the fridge or ensures enough space on the debit card for takeout", then yes, i do :-D

the next person is about fed up with work/school and is grateful for the upcoming mini-break from said torturous requirement!

I've been off work for a few weeks now due to ill health and am starting to feel a bit stir crazy. Too sick to work, too healthy to stay in bed. Thank heaven (and Tim) for Library Thing and everyone on it.

The next person is having a well deserved mini break though and is doing something special for it.

Not really. I work later today.

The next person also has work today.

I took a vacation day today, so no work for me. Yay!!! The next person also gets vacation days.

If I request the time off, it's a vacation, I guess, but I won't get paid for it. No PTO for me.

The next person read our new thread about the Twilight movie.

Yup! Yay, Twilight!

The next person is more excited about the new Narnia movie that's coming out than the Twilight movie.

Uhhhh no

the next person cant wait or the Twilight movie!

I've never heard of the Twilight movie.

The next person is shocked by that statement.

Indeed!

The next person has read or is reading a book by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

who!?!?!?

The next person has read the series "The kings blades" by Dave Duncan.

Who?

The next person is familiar with works by either Frances Hodgson Burnett or Dave Duncan.

Oh yes. Frances Hodgson Burnett but not Duncan I am afraid.

The next person has gone to a book store with books in mind only to find the store does not carry any of the books you wanted.

Definitely. That's not fun! :(

The next person can usually think of some other titles they'd like to look for if a bookstore is out of what you originally came for.

Oh yes three or four- they are like potato chips.

The next person is avoiding something that should be done.

I need to tidy my house and do some laundry and cut the grass and...well too much to list but today I'm avoiding it all.

The next person, in contrast, is doing something they shouldn't today.

I've certainly eaten things I shouldn't today -- I'm having a terrible time sticking to my diet.

The next person exercises regularly.

I don't exercise at all. I suppose the walking I do during the day just around the house or at work may count for something, though. After all, just about anything can burn calories. :)

The next person has had a snickerdoodle.

Alas i have not!! Yall need to send me one :)

The next person (besides K who should not post!!) knows who Dave Duncan is.

I do not know who Dave Duncan is but I am very bad at remembering names.

The next person will know who Dave Duncan is.

I must admit that I didn't know who Dave Duncan was until I looked him up. However, his books look interesting -- spaz, which one should be read first?

The next person will either be spaz, answering that question, or someone else with a book recommendation.

Have you not read Lost in Austen? Did you get get through all of Jasper Fforde's books?

The next person has a rough idea of how many words they type per minute.

Depends on the quiz! one quiz i can hit like 72 another i get about 45. And the ones a like are the semi-series called The kings blade series. They are about the same era but don't not go like one after the other like harry potter. It is really hard to explain. But they are a little explicit but not too bad but i would really recommend them.

oh the next person eats watermelon with a spoon!

Sometimes, yes.

The next person eats ice cream with a fork!

I don't like watermelon, but if I were to eat it, it would probably be with a spoon.

Sometimes.

How can anyone not know who Gandhi was?!

The next person has read a book by an author that is new to them this year.

The next person is going somewhere special tomarow

The library is special - it's full of books! I might be going on a walk, though, but still special, because I don't get to spend much time with the person I'll be walking with.

The next person isn't sleeping.

Nope! *bounce bounce bounce* Too hyper!

The next person is mildly annoyed at my buoyant good mood tonight. ;-)

Never. I've been just as hyper. Me thinks I should have gone outside for a walk to use up some energy today. ;)

The next person is lively and owns a dog.

How did you know it would be me!? I'm certainly lively tonight, at least -- maybe not normally.

The next person is *squinches eyes shut and uses amazing psychic powers* . . . Kerian! ;-)

Wow, how did you do that? Just like el today! She was reading my mind! It must be your super powers!

The next person's username begins with an 'f'.

Must be me, then!

Okay, for real this time. . . .

The next person is afraid of snakes.

Only if they are not poison's!!

TNP doesn't eat pepperonis on there pizza!

Ick. No pepperoni. NY pizza does not need embellishment to taste good.

The next person woke up late today.

No, I woke up early to have breakfast with a friend, and to get ready (mentally, I guess, since I can't see any other way of preparing for it) for a phone interview.

The next person has interviewed for a job over the phone before.

Yes but only as half of job interviews. The other half of each one of those interviews were in-person.

The next person knows what HEG stands for.

Hot English Guys right

We're all friends! :)

The next person likes the HE group the best. (Aww, you're so sweet!)

The next person doesn't even belong to any groups other than HE.

yes I am in other groups only some little groups

the next person is breaking a rule at there school or jod >:)

I haven't broken any rules lately.

The next person has been a rule-breaker a bit more recently than me, say in the past seven days.

Yeah I did something really bad today...I ate three bites of a sandwich in the library...that's bad, that's rulebreaking, that's...
Well not really.

The next person have just made a picture of a flying blue pig.

No, can't say that I have.

The next person might have done that though.

yah I guess

the next person is wearing a lot of layers right know

Don't need to its only like 38 degrees outside!

The next person is super hungry like i am!! (and might have pizza rolls like me!)

I am hungry and too lazy to cook anything. I'd prefer chinese to pizza right now though.

The next person would just order take out rather than starve through laziness.

If I had the money to order for delivery, I would. Grocery stores are cheaper.

The next person has plans this weekend.

I plan to watch the Memphis/Tennessee basketball game this weekend. No. 1 and No. 2, and both from the same state. Exciting!

The next person has.... green eyes and red hair!

I wanted to have green eyes and red hair when I was a child. I have blonde hair and grey eyes.

The next person is over 20 years old.

NOPE!! I am not a old person!

The Next Person is under 20 years old!

Over twenty and proud to be so.

The next person isn't old because no one is old.

Well hey that would be me!

The next person is having Italian for dinner.

Dinner? *ponders this concept* I haven't decided yet. Probably not Italian, but maybe Chinese.

The next person doesn't like Chinese food.

I've never had it. I guess until I try it, I'll assume I don't like it. ;)

The next person really loves LT.

I do, very much. It is truely the best reason I can think of for the internet existing.

The next person has a bird feeder in their garden.

I don't have a garden, but there is a bird feeder outside the window at the library where I work.

The next person reads several blogs every day.

I'm lucky to read some posts here on LT.

The person below me does read blogs and writes comments.

Yes, I am a blog addict, and I do like to add my two cents!

The next person prefers to send e-cards rather than send greeting cards.

If I send an e-card it's usually because I have forgotton the occasion that requires the card. I then have to use my usual lie to cover up the fact that I've forgotten. "I hope you like this e-card, so much better for the environment than all those paper cards that just get thrown away."

The next person disapproves of making a bad habit look like a virtue.

Such as... too much LT and saying it's for the good of my brain? No such thing as too much reading and too much LT.

The next person loves basketball.

I really enjoy sports (gasp!) but basketball is one that I can't say I love. I can say I love hockey and baseball and football (American - but I do really like soccer a lot).

The next person would rather go to the dentist than to a live sporting event.

Ooh, toughie! Depends on what the dental procedure is . . . and what the sporting event is. For example, I'd much rather have my teeth cleaned than go to, say, an American football game, or a hockey game. On the other hand, I'd rather go to a soccer game, or even baseball, than have root canal work.

How's that for a long, over-thought answer?

The next person has a favorite baseball team that they root for every year.

The Angels

The next person doesnt watch sports

I do not.

the next person goes to at least 5 games every year.

(sidenote- FOGGIE!! How can you not like football? (btw its futbol when english people say it)

TNP has a record player that they listen too.

The turntable is currently being used to hold DVDs and video games. Oh, and the cats use it as a short cut.

The next person watches Saturday Night Live

Nope

The next person doesnt watch t.v.?

I do watch TV, mostly over the top of the laptop while I'm also on LT. And when it's my turn on Guess the Book I can read and type while I'm doing it. I think it's known as multi-tasking.

The next person has also done this.

I do multi-task. I quilt, check LT, wash clothes, and cook at the same time.

The next person really loves strawberries.

Actually I really hate strawberries but my husband loves them. 8)

The next person has snow on the ground outside.

not so much snow as piles of frozen mud and gravel (they put gravel on the streets when it has snowed here, it's really annoying.)

the next person is multi-tasking right now.

Not so much at the moment, surprisingly.

The next person watches sunrises or sunsets...

When I can

the next person read what cherio said and thought of Fiddler on the Roof ;)

The next person just finished watching the Academy Awards.

the next person ate popcorn today.

The next person has also done some sort of Tai Chi / Yoga type exercise.

I practice yoga.

The next person thinks their pet has supernatural powers.

Of course he does! Did I never tell you Aloof can fly?

The next person is now thinking of flying squirrels.

I wasn't but now I am.

This reminded me, we have a game called articulate where you have to describe something to your team without saying the name of it and they have to guess what you are describing. My husband had to describe an animal and used the clues "You get red ones and grey ones and they climb trees and have long tails." "Squirrels!" "Yes! Now what would one do if you threw it?" Total silence followed that, then someone said "Bite you and die?" Nobody got Flying Squirrel and everybody wondered why his clue wasn't "what would they do if they had wings?"

The next person is now thinking of flying foxes.

umm not really because i dont think foxes can fly, but i did think of fox holes!

TNP is a WWII fanatic like i am.

*whispers to spaz* The next person?

*whispers to Kerian* "is a WWII fanatic like i am," he says.

(*whispers back* Thanks, foggi! 'TNP' confused me. :)

Well, I wouldn't call myself a "fanatic," though I do like reading about that time period occasionally.

The next person likes Jane Eyre better than Wuthering Heights.

I've never read Wuthering Heights but I loved Jane Eyre.

The next person has also read at least one of these two books.

I've read them both and I think I liked Jane Eyre the best. I couldn't see what Cathie ever liked about Heathcliffe.

The next person has read Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea.

Niether of them

the next person has very mean classmates who are very mean to you >:P

No, but I've been there. *hugs*

The next person gets at least one day off over the weekend.

I left high school, or senior school as it was to us, fifteen years ago. It seems like only yesterday.

The next person has been done with high/senior school for longer than that.

Oh, yes, indeedy. Let's see...it was nigh on to 40 years ago in the great southwest...

Maybe I shouldn't say how many years!

The next person likes to play miniature golf.

I have only played once but it was fun

the next person is eating yummy strwaberrys

I wish! I love strawberries. I'll have some in a smoothie later today.

The next person drinks coffee.

I do but more often I drink tea.

The next person has a favourite type of fruit juice other than orange or apple and will tell us what it is.

Mmmm, white grape. But juice is so high in calories that I rarely drink it. Better to just eat a piece of fruit.

The next person will tell us what their favorite kind of fruit is.

No I must keep it a secret forever!!!! JK I like grapes the best!

The next person likes grapes too. :)

no, I don't really eat grapes.

the next person thinks that is odd.

yes i do cause i heart grapes

next person is after me

Oh did you know!

The next person has times when they think they can see the future.

Yes. For example, I knew you were going to say that. ;)

The next person owns a crystal ball.

Maybe. It might just be glass.

The next person experiences deja vu frequently.

Sometimes frequently and sometimes not.

The next person is going to post next.

OOOoooOOOO. :o) Kerian's psychic!

The next person has had weird dreams lately...

I don't ususally remember my dreams, but when I do, they are often weird. Last night's was sad, though.

The next person loves posting images of cake!

i would love to, if i had time to do more than just check in and say HI!!!!!

the next person has read HP 1-7 cover to cover in 2008 (yes, i am very proud of this; started on 1-1-08 and finished on 2-27-08, woohoo!)

The next person misses someone or something.

Yes.

The next person would like to tell us about a good book they have read.

yes i would.......but i am still reading it.

next person has an idea for a next person

My chewy center is made of ideas!

The next person likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

not really. a definite no to the pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain depends on how hard it's raining and how cold it is. (if it's raining hard and half snowing, half raining like it was yesterday, absolutely don't like it)

the next person likes caramel.

TNP is really hungry like i am!

The next person has read books about vampires.

A few.

The next person knows how to ride a horse.

Yes I do.

The next person hates when people talk like they are texting in normal conversation. Like saying IDK or something.

I hate texts like that so I hate talking like a text even more. My brothers kids have this habit of saying "Wick" instead of "Wicked" that annoys me more than anything else in the world (and wicked did annoy me).

The next person also wishes people would not abbreviate everything in talk and texts.

It's like trying to learn another language.

the next person is already looking forward to the weekend.

Not really. I'm working full days both Friday and Saturday.

I've never been to Disney World and haven't even made it to Disneyland Paris, which is the closest one to me.

The next person doesn't think I have missed anything by never going there.

YOU HAVE MISSED EVERYTHING!!!!!

Kidding, but it is really fun to go there, lots of rides and interactive stuff for kids of all ages!!

The Next Person agrees with me!

I've never been to Disney World (or beyond the western states!), but as someone who's been to Disney Land, I can see why it would be awful for someone to miss the experience altogether in their childhood.

The next person is planning a trip.

whooo-hoooo! boston massachusttes!!!

next person is watching tv

I'm watching the reflection of Aloof and Aloft in the blank tv screen.

#393 -- Disneyland is in California, Walt Disney World is in Florida.

And yes to the garden question, though sadly I don't have a garden right now.

I actually need to bring the garabe cans up - it was collected this morning.

The next person is cold.

The next person is a birdwatcher.

I was spying on two mourning doves, some blackbirds and finches just yesterday.

The next person is excited that it's Friday.

I will return to college at another time, because I love education and definitely want more of it. Just need to make some changes in my life right now.

I did not know that.
