Forum Game: Getting to Know You

[Lappy]

In the spirit of growing our community and wanting to know more about everyone, I'm starting a never-ending game, one with very simple rules.

It plays like this:

^ This is an answer to the last question of the previous post

> This is a random fact about me

V This is a question you would like to ask anyone else in the forum

  You can come back here and post as much as you want, so it'll be a great post-increasing activity too.

Shall we start?  I'll post the first question:

V What are you doing this very minute?

[KL]

^ I'm trying to figure out how this game works and hoping I get it right...

> Random fact? Let's see... I have a short-sightedness of -4.50 and have been thinking about lasik so I can enjoy my swimming sessions with Felicity more...

V What did you think you wanted to be when you were young, and what are you now?

[lawrence]

^ president, fireman, superman

> i'm trying to intake less coffee at the moment.

v Do I really have to ask a questions?

[Lappy]

^ Yes you do, it's part of the "getting to know you" game!  :tongue2:

> I am an audiophile, I love music - anything and everything about it. 

V What did you have for lunch? 

[nohayo]

^ I didn't have lunch yet and I'm starving !!

> I actually did the lasik operation last year...It's only as psycologically scary as you let it be...but the process itself is pretty smooth

V what are your summer plans?

[nhockaday]

^ stay cool! It is so hot here!

> I have a dog and cat

v Do you like rollercoasters?

[Lappy]

^ Oh yes. I love rollercoasters (even though my husband hates heights!) and I still feel like a little kid whenever I visit Disneyland 

> I love watching movies. The last movie I watched was Kung Fu Panda (har har har)

V Name something you really like doing as a hobby 

[nohayo]

^ Reading!  :tongue2:

> I might be borderline addicted to the internet 

V Where have you last travelled?

 

[nhockaday]

^ I went to MO a couple of months ago to visit my dad and grandparents. It was their first time meeting Gabriel.

> I like to read too, but I find it hard now that I have a little one! And I might be a slight addict too! 

v Do you like to cook, and if so, what kind of foods do you like to make?

[Lappy]

^ Yes, I like cooking, and so does my husband, which makes for a great kitchen tandem.  I like cooking pasta during weekdays (easiest) but when time allows it, I usually try to mix it up by going for other international dishes.

> When I was growing up, I wanted to be a cartoonist. 

V How did you decide on your baby's name? 

[lawrencelb]

^ Annabelle had to have "ann" in her name b/c all of the women in our family on my dad's side + my mom have "ann" in them - Nathaniel had to have 9 letters and three syllables to balance Annabelle's name - I'm a bit of a freak about symmetry too (and we wanted to use a biblical name)

> I used to be a memorizing freak (still recall all 52 prepositions learned in 6th grade and have pi memorized to the 27th or 28th digit) - totally useless info cluttering my brain!   

v who is your favorite children's author and why? 

[KL]

^
Probably Dr. Seuss. I'd always heard of that name before (cos of the movies Grinch and Cat In the Hat), but never really read any of his books until we got "Oh Baby the Places You'll Go" which was an adaptation done by his daughter more recently and referencing all his famous books, to be read to the baby IN-UTERO!  That was when I realized Dr. Seuss' books were quite good. I loved the rhymes. And after birth we bought many more.  The other day, Felicity drew a person with 4 things sticking out of the head, and she said this was "Fiffer Feffer Feff".  I remembered that name from one of the Dr. Seuss books, and then I looked it up, and it DID look like that - amazing!

>
Talking about memory, after having read Oh Baby the Places You'll Go to Felicity virtually every day while my wife was pregnant, I ended up memorizing the whole book and even remember it today!

V
What game do you play with your child that he/she enjoys the most?

[anushyam]

^My kids love to play hide and seek. Though i can obviously see their little tushies behind the door i pretend to call out their names and search for them. This makes them giggle uncontrollably and run to me..... surrendering iin my arms! 

> This game is truly fun..... i was aprehensive to try because i thought it was tough to follow. But It's really fun....and that's a FACT!

v What 'junk' food does your child like the most?

[Niro]

Great game!

^ Chicken nuggets! With no sauce! And coke...   

> I'm having terrible morning sickness... and it makes me cranky!  >   :tongue2:

V What's your favorite movie, and why?

[nohayo]

^ I have two ! The persuit of happiness (because it is just so incredibly inspiring)
And an amazing persian movie called "Children of Heaven" it is so moving I seriously suggest you guys to look it up

> I am spending the weekend on the north coast of Egypt and the smell of teh sea and the wind is absolutley refreshing!
