I grew up in Anchorage and lived at the top of a hill. My school was at the top of the adjacent hill. Because it was less than a mile away, I had to walk or cadge rides from friends. The bus didn't stop that close to the school.
And we did keep a snake for a while. His name was Bo.
Showing my age, cable tv didn't become available in our city until I was well into HS and as we lived a bit out in the sticks, it didn't come into our area until I was off on my own and married.

(and off topic a bit, kq, I had a dream about babysitting Emma the other night. I was watching her and we were having a good time, but she kept surprising me with how smart she is. Though she couldn't *say* everything she had on her mind, she was quite successful in expressing herself. She was about 9 mths old in the dream, and she kept telling me in babytalk the proper way to make a ham sandwich, how to clean the hardwood floor correctly, and where things go in the cabinets. She got very upset when I did things wrong and made me do them again until I got it right. I woke up very amused.)

You win kq. I wasn't an extra in X-men... my sister was. (the movie was filmed in the greater Toronto area and the statue of liberty scenes were all shot in the same park I go to with my kids to see fireworks on special occasions)
I did teach ground school and my husband is in fact 16 inches taller than me. Posts: 251 | Registered: Apr 2005

Well...first, I am actually a he, not a she. And the false answer is the 6'2 one. I'm really 5'9ish. I got the 970 in 7th grade before I really knew what the SATs were, and I definitely didn't study for it Posts: 853 | Registered: Feb 2004

Oh yeah, you just had to bring that up again... I didn't go with you guys to the resturaunt (was it Brick Oven Pizza? I forgot) ..I had to leave the Book signing to go to the play I was being a props person for. I was getting a credit for it and couldn't miss any rehearsals or performances.

Yeah, yeah... My third is the lie (since I live in Brazil, Dec. to Feb. would be full-blown summer, and I'd be dead if I used heavy clothes)... I wanted to put things people here would have a chance to know. Had I put:
- I was once a boyscout - I was my State's judo champion, twice. - I studied classical piano for 7 years.
I't'd be harder...

Excellent! I saw Jackie Mason running down the street in New York, but I was never introduced to him in the video section of Tower Records.

I was on the pay roll for the Adernalize tour for insurance reasons, and the manager figured out I was just barely strong enough to be of some use... Pumping the keg under the stage.
I Interned for the Secret Service in their Indianapolis office this past summer... I didn't do much other than make copies...
If you want, Breyerchic and Raia can verify those...

I love this game, but I hardly get a chance to play with all people who I don't know, so this is perfect.
Mine are:
- Every day of my sophomore year of high school, I slept for at least 16 hours. - When I returned home from my weeklong honeymoon, I was still a virgin - Bill Gates invited me over to his house once and served hot dogs for dinner.
My guesses for previously unanswered ones are:
Stan the man: Michigan Allegra: 6 countries

Alright for mine: Tsmith and Avin, you are right.
I went to Southern Lakes Skills Center. It is a part of University of Michigan (therefore I got credits from), but I never went to the Flint or Ann Arbor campuses.

My lie was the one about the animals. I played the bassoon for 5 years in school and I managed a rock band in college. I don't have that many animals.
Guessing Rivka's grandfather didn't work on the Manhattan Project.

rivka, probably not, but in his case, absolutely. He does sing worship songs while doing things around the house, and does so very badly. But the worst is when he sings worship songs he made up himself.
My dad did go to film school with George Lucas, and went on to use his film degree to make instructional films for the Air Force.

JT Stryker's mother was a show girl I'm sure (though possibly a bit short) just not on broadway, yes he interned for the secret service, though I don't think he went often, and I thought instead of being a keg pumper he was the one who lit people's joints, that may have been another tour, when he was like 5 or something.

I own 7 sofas. My cat's name is "Meowzilla." I went to the ladies' room in an Islamic country.
