Of course not. This love-hate relationship of ours is way more fun.

1. No. I don't have much breakable within reach of little kids.
2. In general, yes.
3. I received a picture today of my still unborn niece or nephew. Not a funny mail, but it was fun to get. Pretty amazing.

1. I guess it does, but it's a close call. To us up here in the north spring means so much. It's like waking up.
My vacation to the sun over Christmas did a lot for me when it comes to coping with the rest of winter.
2. I do like the seasons. But I think I'll cope better if we actually had white winters instead of grey, dark and dull ones.
I'd really like to try out living in a place where there's sun all year around.
3. No idea really.

  1. Paris (and other French points), for the first time. Unfortunately, I planned to go last year, but life got in the way, and so far, future plans to do so are not definite.
  2. Go to Paris
  3. Formerly of the latter, trying hard to more of the former.
_____________
  1. Have you been to Paris?
  2. What is your #1 location on the planet to go next?
  3. Have you ever travelled abroad by yourself?

1. Yup. (Though it was ten years ago, so I didn't appreciate it as much as I probably should have.)
2. Somewhere with a lot of cool places to walk around and look at that's not incredibly touristy. I'm thinking somewhere European, most likely.
3. I hardly count the U.S. as "abroad", so no. I'd like to rectify this situation soon, though.

***

1. Can you recommend at least one location I should visit that satisfies the criteria I chose for answer #2?
2. Will I always have Paris?
3. How do you know if you've truly forgiven someone?

1. I don't know your taste very well but I'd say try to visit Barcelona in winter. The weather is not too cold there in winter and the sights are incredible. If you want to go to Europe in the summer you have to visit Amsterdam of course, but that certainly doesn't fit the 'not too touristy' criterium.

2. Paris Hilton will die one day, don't worry.

3. I think it's when yhou think about that person and don't feel the pain in your heart anymore.

+=======+=======+=======+

1. Do you have many small things (like little statuettes or model cars) on display in your home?

2. Do you consider yourself a creative person?

3. Do you send postcards to your friends around their birthdays?

1. Gad night a livin' NO! I am seriously considering banishing the furniture. The idea of lots of things makes my hair stand on end. I'm becoming more and more allergic to clutter. I think a simple Shaker style suits me best these days. I want less and less- just a few quality things.
2. I suppose so...I do create things, imagine things, write things etc...might all be junk, but creating stuff is still compulsory for me, even if it's just some pointless invention (like my disposable fruit wipes, for when you're traveling and need to wash off an apple or something and either have no water or unsafe water.)
3. Yup- but now I send ecards with long newsy messages inside.


1. plain cone, sugar cone, or waffle cone?
2. chocolate, vanilla, or swirl?
3. do you feel compelled to move to a new place frequently or do you like to put down roots? Why?

1. Not really, but I've not yet rooted enough that I'm against moving either. (And no matter what, my real roots will be on Gotland.)
2. Not really.
3. I like the one I've got - I'd like to continue teaching even if I didn't have to for the money. Only downside is the lack of free time, so if I had unlimited money, I'd like to work part time and make games in my spare time.

Questions...

1. Pachelbel's Canon - boring or great?
2. Is John Cage's work 4' 3'' music?
3. Would you be happier if it wasn't for the weather?

1. pleasant background music...very very over played. Personally, I'd rather not hear it again until 2058 at the very earilest.

2. No indeed it is not. I have seen this work "performed" three times, and each time, all the unimaginative, pretentious fools in the audience gave it a standing ovation, as if to say "see? we get theoretical music! we're very erudite." Bah!

3. The weather here has little bearing on my actual happiness, because it is sunny and warm year round. When I lived in Alaska, though, the long dark winters did leave me feeling sleepy, hungry, and depressed all the time. Light boxes were supposed to help but they had only limited effect. Personally I think hibernation is the best medicine- that or take up a winter sport like skiing. I feel happiest on rainy days; they make me want to go to the library, read books, brew coffee, and cuddle up at home.

1. A stupid little crush is of the kind where it is unlikely to actually develop into anything meaningful, and years from now you will look back and wonder what the heck you were thinking in the first place. Love is trickier... a rare thing indeed... this requires really that you love, but don't necessarily expect it in return... which sounds somewhat like the stupid little crush, now that I read it. But um... ok...

2. Nope

3. 'lol' was "invented", one might say, in 1902 by Sir Arthur Reginald Lawl. Historians believe that his unique laugh was referred to as "Lawling" among his friends at the Wimbledon society. Later people started spelling it "Lol", and in recent years, with the growth of Internet culture, it has been claimed it is an abbreviation for "laughing out loud". But now you know better.

-------------------

1. Are black and white cats more foul tempered than others?

2. Have you ever seen a female orange cat?

3. Have you ever encountered a male calico cat?

1. I don’t think so. My husband and I had a blonde cat a few years ago and that cat was horribly mean to my husband. One day my husband was playing with my daughter and the cat went nuts and attacked my husband. We had to put him down. I could not take the risk that he would attack my daughter
2. I can’t say that I have
3. Nope…. Are there male calico cats?

1. Name a favorite animal
2. Why do you like that animal

A stupid little crush is something you're aware of at all times, but once it goes away, you won't really miss it all that much. Love is something that you don't really notice all that much when you have it, but if you were to lose it, you'd feel devastated.

Admit it - you came to the show just to see the pretentious fools, didn't you?

3. I tried, but having a cat in the house totally freaked me out. So after two days I brought her back. Pity because she was a very lovely cat.

1. Are you often ill?

No, I'm not often ill, but I do suffer from chronic cold. Doesn't matter what
kind of weather we're having, big chance I have a cold... It has something
to do with my mucous membranes. I had an operation on my nose so that
I could breathe freely through my nose but that one worked for about a
year...

2. Would you rather be at work or sick in bed right now?

Sick as in don't-want-to-go-to-work sick or OH-MY-GOD-kill-me-now sick?

If it is the first one, I'd rather be in bed

3. What will you have for dinner tonight?

Going out for dinner tonight with some friends. We always go out for
dinner on thursday since we got our degrees. Unfortunately, it is the only
day in the week when we all see each other.

Tonight we're having Mexican!


1. What do you do for a living?

2. Have you always wanted to do this?

3. Any big plans for the weeked?

1. Chocolate.
2. Så skall det låta. (A Swedish music "competition" show that's currently on its twelfth year. I was a bit worried when they switched hosts, but the new one exceeded my expectations and has been able to do a very good job. It's still as good, although it varies from episode to episode due to who the contestants are. It's based on "The Lyrics Board®", but I've never seen that show, so I don't know how alike it is, or how it compares in quality.)
3. No, but I don't hate it either.

----

1. Large crowds or smaller groups of people?
2. Do you like team sports?
3. Why or why not?

1. I like small groups, I’m an introvert.
2. Kind’a. I like to watch them, like hockey, football things like that, I have never really wanted to be on a team per say.
3. Not really sure, maybe b/c I’m an introvert.

1. Are you an introvert or extravert?
2. Going to the movies or rent DVD’s?
