Subject: Getting to know you . . .

Written By: Natalie on 05/27/02 at 11:57 a.m.

(Spinoff of the "Yearbook" thread)

I realized that some of us "newbies" aren't as well known as some of the others, so I thought I'd have a lil' "20 questions" game for introductory purposes.  I'd love to get to know more people on the board and vice versa.  

Here goes:

1.  Where's everyone from?  (I'm from a small town in MS)

2.  Age? (24 tomorrow)

3.  Lucky number? (3)

4.  My friends would say I ... (am a great listener and a smart ass)

5.  My psychologist would say I ... - this can be hypothetical -
(need intensive therapy to overcome my need for organization)

6.  If I could change one thing about myself, I'd... (want to be a more patient person)

7.  Do you consider yourself a realist or a "head in the clouds" type o' person?  (Realist)

8.  How many hearts have you broken during your lifetime?  How many times have you had your heart broken? (A few; Once)

9.  What's your favorite color? (Lime green)

10. If you could meet one person (dead or alive; famous or not), who would it be and why?  (Bob Newhart; I'm his biggest fan)

11.  What is your favorite show of the 00s?  (Trading Spaces)

12.  What is your favorite show from past decades? (Bob Newhart Show)

13.  If you could re-live any era of time, which era would you choose?  (The 20s;  great style, great fun...until the Depression)

14.  What do you think the world is going to be like in 2900?  (Gone)

15.  What is your biggest pet peeve?  (Inconsiderate drivers)

16.  What do you do for fun?  (Water sports - kneeboarding, jet skiing)

17.  What do you dread doing?  (Taking standardized tests)

18.  Best/worst subject?  (English/Math)

19.  Are you an introvert/extrovert?  (I prefer small groups, but I am more of an extrovert)

20. Favorite food?  (Mexican, Mexican, Mexican)


Now it's your turn...

7. Do you consider yourself a realist or a "head in the clouds" type o' person? I'm a total dreamer - have a very realistic and over-played imagination ;)

8. How many hearts have you broken during your lifetime?  How many times have you had your heart broken? Hmm - Well every lad ( but one) I've been out with I've dumped which is bad - don't know if I broke thier hearts though - school relationships were nothing.

The world will probably not even exist anymore if we don't sort out all of the environmental problems and find some other, equally efficient source of power as fossil fuels. Whoa - I think I'm getting too into this question now for someone who didn't know where to start!

15. What is your biggest pet peeve? I HATE it when people sing lyrics wrong - it is the most annoying thing ever for me!

16. What do you do for fun? Listen to music, go out with friends, dancing - usual really

Subject: Mystery Woman in a nutshell...

Written By: Mystery Woman on 05/27/02 at 07:34 p.m.

1. Where's everyone from?  Currently living in Vancouver, BC Canada (about fifteen minutes from Jonman's house!)

2. Age?  Old enough to know how, and young enough to still enjoy it.  Okay, okay, I'm *gulp* 29.

3. Lucky number?  69.  It doesn't get much luckier than that!  ;D

4. My friends would say I ... usually know exactly what needs to be said (whether they like hearing it or not), and when to say nothing at all.  Oh, and I have much better hours than the bank!  ::)

5. My psychologist would say I ... need to realize that even I can't hold it together all the time.  Showing emotions is not a sign of weakness.  (Wow, who'd have expected such an honest answer there?)

6. If I could change one thing about myself, I'd... have to go with the superficial - liposuction (and while we're at it, and going under the knife anyway, why not throw in a breast job?)

7. Do you consider yourself a realist or a "head in the clouds" type o' person?  I'm definitely a realist.  Sure, I have dreams; I've just never found anyone with whom I can share them all.  Yet.

8. How many hearts have you broken during your lifetime?  None that I know of.  How many times have you had your heart broken?  None.  I thought it was broken once, but then I realized he wasn't worth it.  I figure if a big bowl of ice cream and a chick flick could make me feel better, my heart wasn't really broken.

9. What's your favorite color?  Black.  (If you don't count black as a color because it's actually a shade, then anything bright - primary and secondary colors.)

10. If you could meet one person (dead or alive; famous or not), who would it be and why?  Santa Claus.  I'm a good girl *cough*, so he'd be sure to have a sack full of all my favorite toys.  He only comes once a year, so I figure he'd be pretty excited to see me.  And next to Mrs. Claus, I'm still young, cute and skinny!  8)
Seriously, I can think of a few people from this board I'd love to meet, but I'm not saying why for them.

11. What is your favorite show of the 00s?  Something that started in the 00's?  Andromeda, or Special Unit 2.  Something that started earlier, but is still on tv now?  The Simpsons.

12. What is your favorite show from past decades?  LHOTP, and the Simpsons.

13. If you could re-live any era of time, which era would you choose?  The 80's.  Both the 1980's, and the 1880's would be cool.

14. What do you think the world is going to be like in 2900?  I'll let you know when I get there.  I plan on living forever - so far, so good.

15. What is your biggest pet peeve?  Women who take their boyfriends/spouses for granted, and don't treat them right.  Don't even get me started on Women's Lib.

16. What do you do for fun?  Adrenaline sports, travel, cybersex.  KIDDING!  (I rarely travel.)  ;)

17. What do you dread doing?  Some days, I'd have to say just getting up in the morning.  Most of the time, though, it's nothing.  I try not to dread things or worry much, because really, what good does it do?  Either I have to do something, so I just suck it up and do it, because dreading it just makes it worse; or I don't have to, so I don't bother with it.  

18. Best subject?  Anything academic, especially Math.  Worst subject?  P.E.  (I actually got a B!  >:( )

19. Are you an introvert/extrovert?  Neither.  I'm equally as likely to be the center of attention in a large crowd as I am to be a total wallflower observing everything, and I absoltely love spending time alone as well.

20. Favorite food?  Mexican, or Southern BBQ (with all the side dishes that go along with it!)  Beverage: sweetened iced tea, Dr. Pepper, ice water

1.  Where's everyone from? Boston, MA

2.  Age? 34

3.  Lucky number?  3, because I try to live by "the rule of three" (Whatsoever ye do, shall come back to you threefold).

4.  My friends would say I ... am cool, smart, and funny, but I worry too much.

5.  My psychologist would say I ... - this can be hypothetical -  need to quit worrying about the "small stuff...and it's all small stuff." (Oh, yeah?  not when you're in my shoes!)

6.  If I could change one thing about myself, I'd... lose weight and exercise more.

7.  Do you consider yourself a realist or a "head in the clouds" type o' person? A little of both, really.  While I'm dealing with the practical, real world situations, I am spinning fantatsic visions in my head of how I'd like the outcome to be.  I'm also always spinning stories to entertain myself.

8.  How many hearts have you broken during your lifetime? Just one that I know of...and I enjoyed it!!!   http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/evil_lol.gif  How many times have you had your heart broken? Only once. (but it was a different guy.)

9.  What's your favorite color? screaming ohmigod purple

10. If you could meet one person (dead or alive; famous or not), who would it be... Queen Hatchepsut of ancient Egypt. and why?... She was the first woman in recorded history to rule in her own right. As soon as she was in power, she put an end to war, fed the hungry, housed the homeless, made her country and  her people rich, created jobs, expanded trade, was tolerant of other religious beliefs, and did it in such a way that it spread to neighboring countries.  I wanna know how she did it, so I can do the same.

11.  What is your favorite show of the 00s? The Osbournes and Smallville.

12.  What is your favorite show from past decades? Forever Knight!

13.  If you could re-live any era of time, which era would you choose? The Eighties of course! ;D

14.  What do you think the world is going to be like in 2900? Gosh, nobody seems to be very optimistic.  :-/  There have been plenty of other times that the world seemed like it was going to go to H*** in a handbasket, and we survived (the Black Death wiped out 1/3 of the population of Europe, for instance). So I'm going to say that we will still be around, but we will have traded our ignorance for enlightenment.  We will most certainly have colonies on the other planets of our solar system, and I think we will have found a new, non-polluting energy source by then.

15. What is your biggest pet peeve? Doctor's offices that do not stay open late one night per week, or Saturday afternoons for annual physicals.  Ok, if my child is sick, (or I am) I will drop everything to go to the doctor.  But if no one is sick, why should I lose a day from work (without pay)?  I'd prefer to use my "sick days" when I am sick (instead of dragging myself into work anyways, and giving it to all my co-workers).

16.  What do you do for fun? Read.  Voraciously.  Anything I Can Get My Hands On.  Coming here to the 'boards. Listen to music.  "People watch" (Hey! lookit the weirdo in the tinfoil hat!! ;D ;) ;D

17.  What do you dread doing? Laundry, dishes, other housework (especially cleaning out the cat's litterbox  :-X :-X )

18.  Best/worst subject? Was best in English and reading, and worst in math.  So now I'm an accountant.  I think it's because I was so bad in math that I overcompensated.

19.  Are you an introvert/extrovert? Introverted at first, but once I get to know you, or the crowd, I'm a loud, fun-loving extrovert.

20. Favorite food?  Baked potato, drowned in a cheddar-cheese-and-bacon-bits sauce.
